Chapter 740： Tao Men Xuan Jing (1/2)
”Daomen Xuanjing?”
Zhang Wanlin just stared at the ancient scroll, and then read the name of the ancient scroll, which surprised Ma Lao.
”Little friend, do you know the weird pictures and texts on this?”
Old Ma looked at Zhang Wanlin excitedly, ”Then can you read it to me carefully?”
Zhang Wanlin looked at Ma Lao weirdly, and asked tentatively: ”So father, are you stumped by this text for a lifetime?”
”Yes.”
Old Ma nodded, ”In order to figure out what's on this, I've been tossing about it, but I haven't found what text it is.”
”I have copied the pictures and texts above several times, and then I tried to go to libraries, museums, and even some masters who study ancient characters, in order to solve the mystery of the characters, but no one knew it.”
Ma Lao's words made Zhang Wanlin dumbfounded. He looked at Ma awkwardly and said bitterly: ”This is one of the ancient characters left by our ancestors, the oracle bone inscription.”
”Oracle, this is impossible!”
Old Ma replied, ”I went to an Oracle expert to see it. The expert said it was not Oracle at all.”
”Uh...you said you copied it, can you show me the copy?”
Zhang Wanlin always feels that the problem lies in what Ma Lao copied.
Old Ma nodded and got up again to search. After a while, he found a pile of Taoist Profound Scriptures from a large box and handed it to Zhang Wanlin.
When Zhang Wanlin saw this, he couldn't laugh or cry. He pointed to the copied text and the text on the ancient scroll and asked Ma Lao: ”Master, do you see these words the same?”
”It's the same, but I just wrote a stroke at a glance, how could it be different.”
Old Ma said very positively, and then looked at Zhang Wanlin somewhat puzzledly, ”Little friend, just say what you want to say.”
”I... I want to be quiet.”
Zhang Wanlin covered his face awkwardly.
After being silent for a long time, he cruelly told Ma Lao the truth: ”Master, the oracle bone inscriptions you copied are no longer oracle bone inscriptions. All you have copied are a bunch of scribbled symbols!”
”This... how is this possible! I copied it carefully, how could it be a bunch of scribbled symbols?”
Old Ma didn't want to believe it, and began to check the ancient scroll piece by piece.
The more he looked, the more serious he was, the more he looked, the more he felt that he was right. He blushed and said to Zhang Wanlin: ”I have no problem with the transcription, my friend, don't be kidding, and tell me the real reason. ”
”Even if you want this thing, I can give it to you, I just want to know what is written in it.”
Ma Lao thought at first that Zhang Wanlin wanted to confuse the audience, and then took away his own ancient scroll.
Ma's words made Zhang Wanlin's complexion not so good. He said dullly, ”Since Ma doesn't believe me, then I will leave.”
Zhang Wanlin said that he got up to leave, Ma hurriedly got up and stopped: ”Little friend, don't be angry, I'll make a mistake for a while, as long as you tell me what the text is, I am willing to give you this ancient scroll.”
