When Chen Yi clicked on the name, she heard Christopher chanting aloud. The other true believers knelt on the ground, clasped their hands, and echoed the priest's voice, praying softly.
The jailer beside him kicked the iron railing hard. Christopher only glanced at him, as if he didn't hear it, but the chanting of Zhen Awen continued uninterrupted.
The jailer shook his head helplessly. This situation had become commonplace in the past few days.
In addition to the background of this group of prisoners, past methods of teaching prisoners cannot be used.
Chen Yi listened to the familiar voice of scripture with an expressionless face.
Click on the number and names of the prisoners, no more and no less.
Before leaving, Christopher smiled kindly at himself, sat on the straw and made a ring salute.
"May the Lord bless you." He said in true Awen.
Chen Yi also bowed in return.
Returning to the warden's office, Chen Yi took out two books he brought back from home. One was a book on learning Platinum script, written in Yawen language, and the other was "Before and After Consecration", which he brought back from the academy. This book records the rotation times of various divine envoys, angels, and spiritual envoys.
Chen Yi mainly read the platinum text, aiming to cross the introductory stage within this month and basically master its common grammar and two thousand words.
Languages all have certain similarities.
Generally speaking, there are subjects, predicates, and objects in sentences.
For example, in the sentence "I love you." in Chinese, "I" is the subject and the initiator of the action, "you" is the object and the recipient of the action, and "love" is the predicate and the action itself.
Some languages have different subject, predicate and object positions from Chinese, such as the antiverbal order in German, and some languages are accustomed to omitting them, such as Japanese. However, as long as you follow this basic framework, you can always discover the rules of language.
Compared with the highly complex Zhenawen, Baijinwen is a phonetic script and a full phonetic script, which is less developed and complicated.
This may be because few people use it in daily life. Many daily vocabulary of Zhen Awen have no equivalent in Bai Jinwen. There are also occult words that exist in Platinum Wen but are not found in Zhen Awen. .
I don’t know how long I have been reading.
Chen Yi rubbed his nose that was tortured by the smell of burning animal fat.
He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and took a rest.
Boom boom.
There was a knock on the door outside the room.
"Please come in." Chen Yi said.
Xisen pushed the door open and walked in, saying: "The clerk, Priest Isa and the reader are here."
"Are they here? Where are they?"
"We've already gone to the cell. They told us not to disturb him."
"Oh..." Chen Yi agreed.
Xisen just made a notice and helped deliver it to the door when he left.
"The word formation method of Platinum Wen mainly uses the synthesis method." Chen Yi murmured after turning over a hundred words of Platinum Wen.
The so-called synthesis method is to combine two or more words into one word.
For example, in Chinese, "oil lamp" is composed of two single-character words: "oil" and "lamp".
Non-synthetic words, such as "butterfly", "centipede" and "grape", are meaningless when used as a single word.
From another perspective, the proliferation of word formation methods can also be seen from this to some extent the lack of native vocabulary.
"Since Baijinwen mainly uses the synthesis method... Ancient Baijinwen is a text compiled for Dragon Language, and Dragon Language is a language close to ancient Chinese." Chen Yi deduced: "Does this mean... There are actually not many original words in ancient Chinese."
If you think about it carefully, based on your experience in learning languages, this is indeed a reasonable inference.
After memorizing the words, Chen Yi looked at the grammar.
Bai Jinwen has the fourth person.
Chen Yi tried to use the Roman phonetic notation in his memory to pronounce the fourth person.
Except you, me and him, and its plural form: you, us, them.
There are also us kamei (excluding "you"), we kamelai (including "you"), and you and me nalui (me + you).
Of course, in the context of past life linguistics, whether this is considered the fourth person is actually quite controversial.
Chenyi just marks it out to facilitate learning.
Use a quill pen to compose grammatical sentences on linen paper. In addition to being paid as a clerk, there is no need to worry about ink, quill pens, and paper. You can use them as you like. You must know that these things are not cheap.
With the ability to write rather than memorize in the mind, Chen Yi's study of Baijinwen was much smoother than at home.
After Xisen knocked on the door, he entered the warden's room again.
"The clerk, the officiant and the cantor have left."
"How is it?" Chen Yi asked casually.
Xisen shrugged and said: "You asked the wrong person. How can we know about the important people? But I saw that their faces were not very good, and they were talking about 'rituals' when they were reading. I want a few jailers to send When they went back, they were glared at by the officiant."
Chen Yi scratched his head and immediately realized that this might have something to do with Christopher.
"Let me keep vigil tonight."
Chen Yi remembered that tonight was her turn to keep vigil.
"Yes, you and I will guard the corridor of the cell and I will guard the door." Xisen confirmed.
"Okay, let's go now." Chen Yi closed the book, put it aside, and took out an oil lamp from under the cabinet.
Xisen disappeared at the door and quickly came back with the lamp oil. Chen Yi took it and put it in it.
After leaving the warden's room, Chen Yi walked to the corridor alone and put the wooden stool on the ground, while Xisen sat down on the wooden table near the door.
Chen Yi glanced around the cell boredly. Most of the True believers were lying on the ground, sleeping soundly.
Turning his eyes, Chen Yi saw that Christopher had not fallen asleep.
Chen Yi took out the holy statue from his arms and walked over.
"What's wrong?" Christopher faced Chen Yi, "Child."
"Father, I have a holy statue of a believer here, Grandma Amy...do you know?" Chen Yi took out the small holy statue.
Christopher hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said: "Amy...? Old Lawrence's wife... May she be in good health, and may He bless her."
"She said that she had been unable to go to the Holy Land before, so she could only ask me to return this icon to you." Chen Yi saw Christopher taking the icon and stood up to leave.
Christopher looked away from the icon.
He stared at Chen Yi's back.
"Wait a minute, kid," Christopher called him.
Chen Yi turned around and asked, "Is there anything else, Father?"
"You have the aura of ancient sayings." Christopher stared at Chen Yi.
Chen Yi's expression changed slightly.
"It's still an ancient saying from the Zhen A language family. I can sense it. You are also a manifestation of the Holy Spirit." Christopher said.
Chen Yi stared at Christopher curiously and solemnly. Obviously, the priest knew more about ancient words.
"Father, what do you know?" Chen Yi asked anxiously.
Christopher stared at Chen Yi meaningfully, and then said slowly: "You are Chen Yi, right? I recognize this name."
Chen Yi nodded slightly, but didn't know how he recognized his name.
Seemingly knowing Chen Yi's doubts, Christopher said: "I know Raymond - may he rest in peace. He is a truly noble person that I have ever seen. He sacrificed his life to protect His kingdom of God on earth. I am very happy to see him." His nephew, the sole heir of the Pune family."
Raymond, who has no children, only has Chen Yi as his nephew.
"This town blessed by God," Christopher sighed, looking at Chen Yi tenderly with wrinkled eyes, "the Lord has blessed you and is also testing you."
"Blessing...trial?"
"I don't know if you've ever heard that spirituality is filth," Christopher asked.
"I've heard of it," Chen Yi said.
"Blessing means that the gods give us the power to appear before humans, and to test..." Christopher paused and spoke solemnly, "When we use our spirituality to drive the ancient words, we must remember not to become a prisoner of the ancient words. A slave must not be dominated by his own humanity.”
Chen Yi listened carefully.
"In other words, we should... use the divinity of our Lord to suppress the ancient sayings, otherwise..." Christopher added emphasis on "otherwise", "Coming from the Soul Bridge, the dead souls in the abyss will Establishing a spiritual connection with the Manifestation, resurrecting it within its body, and with it comes the pale shower.”
Chen Yi half understood what he heard, and his doubts became more and more serious.
"Child, maybe you don't have a deep understanding of the ancient sayings you hold. When you get better...at first you will hear gibbering of unknown origin, then memories that do not belong to you, and finally you will fall into a state of emotion. He couldn't tell himself apart, until he went into never-ending madness..." Christopher said slowly and unhurriedly: "Those are the memories of countless people who have mastered this ancient saying, and the imprint of their souls left behind! "
Chen Yi was speechless when he heard this.
In other words, the previous owner of Gu Yan will leave a mark on Gu Yan...
"These things will always affect you, either suddenly or subtly. Either you become a dead soul, or you pass the trial and completely master the ancient sayings." Christopher said, and asked: "Which ancient saying do you master?" ?You don’t have to tell me how to read it, just tell me what it means.”
Chen Yi hesitated for a moment and said: "Fraud."
"Then, as your understanding of the ancient sayings deepens, you will start to lie intentionally or unintentionally, lie involuntarily, and then become accustomed to deception. Unless you completely master the ancient sayings."
"How should I master the ancient words?" Chen Yi asked after calming down.
Christopher smiled, like a good teacher: "It's still understanding, only understanding, trying to understand it, being one with it, and being separated at the same time."
The more you understand, the more you will be affected by the dead souls, but only by understanding can you fully master the ancient sayings.
comprehend...
Chen Yi suddenly realized something.
"True Awen is a language that is born to serve our Lord. Therefore, the ancient words of the True Awen language family inherently require the manifester to understand the divinity in them." Christopher further explained.
divinity...
Reveal divinity.
The words carved on the base of the illusory bell tower are still fresh in people's minds.
"What is divinity?" Chen Yi asked subconsciously
"This is a grand proposition, enough to make noise for thousands of years, and I can only count one." After finishing his words, Christopher lowered his head and fell into deep thought. "Don't worry, kid, let me think about it."
Chen Yi gripped the handle of the oil lamp tightly and waited patiently.
After a long time, the priest slowly said: "As a human being, you only need to remember that when you pray sincerely, you may deceive the gods, but you cannot deceive yourself. When you are suffering, wandering, and want to repent and change, you must not ignore your original intention. You Who knows, God is not listening?"
