Qiao Lan thinks that the most unforgettable years in her academic career were probably the three years of high school. The academic workload was heavy and the pressure was great. As a result, for several years after graduation, she had nightmares about not doing well in exams and being criticized by teachers.
Thanks to the solid foundation laid by her strict high school English teacher, Qiao Lan easily passed CET-4 and CET-6 in college.
In addition, she can use some of them at work. Even after more than twenty years, Qiao Lan still hasn't forgotten any English words.
Qiao Lan looked around the pillar and felt extremely convinced! The words on the pillar were English words. Different from the standard printing in the textbook, the words on it seemed to be handwritten by a certain person.
The Chinese characters in Beijing are the same as those there, which are traditional square characters. Although the writing methods of some characters are slightly different, Qiao's memory and Qiao Lan's studiousness allowed her to quickly master the characters here.
English can be divided into ancient and modern English, both of which have been transformed by later generations. Qiao Lan looked at the English text above and made sure that she could read it smoothly and understand the meaning. She was very convinced that this was modern English!
It can't be fake!
"There was someone who traveled through this world before me? Did he have a system?" Qiao Lan asked 1818 in her mind.
[I don’t know if there has ever been a time traveler in this world, 1818, but 1818 knows that in the main system’s files, the host is the only person who has traveled through the system! 】
Even if the system doesn't tell you the answer, Qiao Lan already knows it in her heart. Yes, there have been travelers in this world before her.
But Qiao Lan couldn't understand why this text appeared in the Ancestral Temple?
Judging from the current life in Beijing, there are no obvious traces left by the travelers.
Could it be that the time-traveler became a craftsman once he crossed over and had no way to change his environment at that time, so he carved these English words on the pillars?
Qiao Lan quickly overturned her thoughts. This was the Ancestral Temple. Who dared to carve random things on the pillars of the Ancestral Temple.
In addition, the English word representing the emperor appeared several times in this line, and Qiao Lan had a rough guess in her mind. The status of this time traveler is definitely not low, and he can talk to the emperor.
In Duan Mingqing's opinion, after seeing the strange symbols on the pillar, his mother walked around the pillar and looked around, as if she could understand the words on it.
There are many secrets in my mother's life, and Duan Mingqing knows this very well. If her mother doesn't tell her, he won't ask.
Duan Mingqing didn't speak, but just stood quietly beside him, while Grandma Xiang also lowered her head.
Qiao Lan looked around and could probably understand some of the words on the pillar.
On the row closest to her height, there are written what the weather was like, how the writer was feeling, the beginning of the incident, and how sad and angry she was after hearing about the incident. The diary has a very similar format.
The pillars in the hall are about one meter wide and four to five meters high. There are passages engraved on the top that Qiao Lan cannot see.
Qiao Lan discussed with the system: "Can you scan the text on this pillar for me? It's too high to see."
Qiao Lan has long started to use the system to do some small things, such as sorting out the scores of previous students, letting the system act as a smart memo to remind herself of certain things, and now scanning pillars.
One of the milestones in the progress of human civilization is learning to use tools. The functions of the system are very powerful, and it is useless if you don’t use them.
【It's okay!】
Soon, the words on the four pillars appeared on the transparent panel in front of Qiao Lan.
Qiao Lan read it through and found what seemed to be two incomplete diaries.
The content on the two pillars far away from Qiao Lan reads:
On a bad day, the protagonist heard that his friend Qi had sacrificed the lives of many innocent people for a meaningless war.
When the protagonist went to see his friend Qi, Qi was drinking and accompanied by a beautiful woman. He didn't look sad at all. He even told the protagonist that those were just humble lives and he shouldn't let these things affect the friendship between the two.
The owner of the diary was angry and sad.
What is written on the two pillars slightly closer to Qiao Lan is:
He had differences with his friends. He wanted to promote science here and hoped that people would believe in science rather than theology. Qi stopped him again, saying that his actions were very dangerous, and the two had a fierce quarrel. Qi said that he was already a
As an emperor, he can easily deprive a person of his life and let the protagonist take care of himself.
The second half of the diary is the protagonist's mourning for this friendship and his hatred of the feudal royal power.
It is said that the feudal royal power is very poisonous to the world and can turn living people into cannibal evil spirits.
Qiao Lan looked at these pillars and was very sure in her heart that there were time travelers here hundreds of years ago and helped an emperor establish his empire.
The time traveler seemed to have helped the emperor a lot, but after everything was done and the dynasty was established, the time traveler wanted to change the lives of ordinary people, but was blocked and even disgusted by the emperor.
However, Qiao Lan still doesn't understand why these English diaries appear on the pillars?
After reading it, Qiao Lan rewarded the system with some points, which she used as pocket money to encourage it, just like elders caring for their elders and maintaining a good relationship between them.
"Bao, can you scan the pillars in other rooms? Are there other places in the Ancestral Temple that have English? Can you scan them all?" Qiao Lan coaxed the system.
As long as she keeps enough diaries, she will be able to know more things related to this time traveler.
Even judging from the marks on the pillar, he has not been alive for hundreds of years.
[The Ancestral Temple is very large, so it may not be easy just to scan the pillars...]
"Give you points!"
[It’s a bit difficult to control everything with the current abilities...]
"Just make a price! If you can do it, just tell me!" Qiao Lanhao said angrily. She currently has tens of thousands of points, which is enough for her to squander.
[It takes about 2,000 points to rent tools in the mall.] The system responded quickly.
"I'll give you two thousand and five thousand. Look carefully. You don't need to give me a discount!"
Money can make all the difference, and so can the system.
[It takes a certain amount of time to rent a tool and scan it. Please check it again after ten minutes.] The system said.
After listening, Qiao Lan found a place to sit down peacefully, but her eyes still stayed in the hall, thinking about this fellow time traveler.
There is a lot of information that can be gleaned from the diary.
This time traveler was a man, he knew English and science, was strategic, and loved the people. He just went against the emperor at that time because he paid too much attention to the people, and he was disliked by the emperor.
Ten minutes passed quickly, and Qiao Lan received the report from the system.
It is a pity that among all the main halls of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, only the pillars of this main hall are engraved in English. There are no other places, and there are no other traces.
But the system also scanned something else. [Bao, there is a glass nameplate on the large beam above your head. It is something that does not belong to this era. 】
Hearing this, Qiao Lan raised her head and glanced at the beam.
It is at least four to five meters high. The top of the hall is pitch black and there are some spider webs on it. It may be a bit difficult to take it down.
