Cangjie, you sit first."
Huang Hao waved his hand and a futon appeared on the ground for Cangjie to sit on.
Cangjie thought that the Shangxian wanted to test him and he had a chance to become his disciple. He immediately squatted on the futon, looking very obedient.
Huang Hao sized up the young man in front of him. Cangjie was still a child with delicate features. A glimmer of light flashed across his eyes from time to time. His body was still a little thin and weak. His appearance was far from the image in the textbooks of his previous life.
"Let me ask you, why do you want to take me as your master?”
? After Huang Hao confirmed that there was no one else inside or outside the thatched cottage, he asked.
"Because you're very strong. That flood dragon killed many of our human tribes, and you defeated it easily. Saving our tribe is a piece of cake.”
Cangjie choked." If I had such strength, my Abba wouldn't have died in the hunt a year ago. Your casual attack would have affected the lives of many people in our tribe."”
Huang Hao didn't expect that his humble words would make Cangjie care so much and even bring up bad memories.
"Therefore, I want to learn from you. If I have your strength, I can protect our tribe. Please take me as your disciple.”
Huang Hao felt that Cangjie was a bit persistent in his pursuit of power, so he didn't express his opinion immediately. Instead, he asked Cangjie.
"Then let me ask you, what do you think is true power?”
"The truly powerful ones are, of course, like the Immortal Elder, who can easily destroy the Demon Flood Dragon and travel alone in the Wilderness.”
Huang Hao shook his head." No, I'm just a Genuine Immortal in terms of Cultivation state. Although my combat ability is more than that, there are so many experts in Untainted Land. I'm not the strongest."”
As he spoke, he thought to himself, but one day, he would climb to the top.
Huang Hao paused for a moment and continued," Besides, even if you have my power, you might even be stronger than me. There are so many experts from the Monster Race and the Sorcerer Race. If they want to attack the Human Race, can you stop them?" Even if it could, how much could it stop?”
Hearing Huang Hao's words, Cangjie's expression changed again and again. Although he was very intelligent since he was a child, he was still a ten-year-old child and had not thought so deeply.
Seeing that Cangjie was considering and didn't answer immediately, Huang Hao threw another question.
"Do you think the Monster Race and the Sorcerer Race are powerful?”
"Of course they're powerful. Although demons come in all shapes and sizes, most of them are stronger than humans. They also have all kinds of innate divine abilities.”
"The Sorcerer Tribe is the same. Their bodies are strong, and their divine arts are also powerful.”
Although Cangjie was only a child of the tribe, the elders in the tribe were knowledgeable and knew a little about the Lich.
Hearing Cangjie's answer, Huang Hao couldn't help but nod and ask,""Then do you know how long it takes for the demon experts to reproduce?”
This time, Huang Hao didn't let the other party answer. Instead, he continued to ask and answer his own questions.
"Take the Dragon Clan as an example. Although the pure-blooded Dragon Clan is a Human Immortal when it matures, it takes at least a thousand years for a dragon to grow from an egg to adulthood. The stronger the creature, the harder it is for them to give birth to offspring. The Sorcerer Tribe is similar."
"But you're about to become a Human Immortal. How long has it taken you? I'm afraid you're not even ten years old yet. Besides, the human race breeds fast.”
During the prehistoric times, spiritual energy was abundant, and human cultivation was also very fast. There were a lot of people who became immortals. In the later era, even becoming an immortal was a luxury.
"Therefore, I believe that the one who will eventually dominate this Primordial World will not be the Demon Tribe or the Sorcerer Tribe, but the Human Tribe! However, the human race was still too weak. Strength was secondary. The most important thing was that they lacked the means to pass down their civilization.”
Hearing this, Cangjie was dumbfounded. He had never thought about these questions. Huang Hao's words had undoubtedly opened a door to a new world for him.
Cangjie sat upright on the futon, lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
After a long while, Cangjie raised his head. Something seemed to have appeared in his determined eyes.
"Immortal Elder, I heard that the Sorcerer and Demon Tribes both have their own language, but only the human language has evolved into the Demon Tribe's language. The Demon Tribe's language is profound and difficult to understand, so I want to create a language that belongs to humans!”
Huang Hao looked at Cangjie approvingly. Cangjie was still in his own thoughts and didn't notice Huang Hao's gaze. He continued to talk to himself.
" That's right. I want to create the human language. With the language, the human race will be able to pass on knowledge and information. When someone has an insight into cultivation, they can carve it on a stone for others to comprehend. When we are in danger outside, we can also carve the information on a tree to warn everyone.”
Huang Hao sighed in his heart. He was indeed worthy of being hailed as the ancestor of character creation by later generations. He knew what to do with just a little bit of instruction. This talent was also a top-notch existence in the entire Primordial World.
"Cangjie, your idea is very good. This Penniless Priest has some ideas about creating characters that I can teach you.”
Hearing this, Cangjie was delighted and knelt down again."Thank you, Exalted Immortal!"
"Do you still call me Xian Jia?" Huang Hao smiled.
Cangjie reacted immediately and bowed to Huang Hao.
"Thank you, Master!"
From today onwards, Huang Hao would have a child following him around in the tribe.
Huang Hao intended to teach Cangjie pictographic characters. Although the simplified characters of the later generations had their own system, they were not rootless duckweed or floating courtyards.
The simplified Chinese characters of the later generations had evolved from the various characters of the past dynasties. If Huang Hao directly taught him the simplified Chinese characters, Cangjie would find it hard to understand.
"Words are images or symbols that record thoughts, communicate thoughts, or carry language. Most importantly, they are easy to understand. Look at the sun in the sky, doesn't it look like a big round fireball?”
Huang Hao was holding a branch and drawing a circle on the soil. He was teaching Cangjie how to create characters.
Cangjie looked at the circle on the mud and nodded, then asked after pondering for a moment.
"That's not right, Master. Since the sun is written in a circle, how do you represent a circle?”
Huang Hao smiled. Apparently, he had expected Cangjie's question.
"Very good. Now you can draw inferences from one instance. Yes, your image needs to change when it's about time. In order to distinguish the sun and the circle, we can add a dot or a horizontal line in the circle of the sun.”
" The same goes for the moon. It is sometimes round and sometimes curved. When it is round, it is easy to confuse it with the sun. We will use the curved time as a representation and write a crescent moon..."
Huang Hao's teaching Cangjie was mainly to guide his thoughts on pictographic characters.
Huang Hao didn't remember much, so he couldn't pass all the words to Cangjie.
Cangjie was the Sage of Character Creation. Character creation itself was his method of actualizing Dao. If Huang Hao imparted all the characters to Cangjie, it would harm him.
Spring left and autumn came, summer came and cold came.
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye…
