Believers are always selfless and fearless, and they can always be seen fighting for the Dharma on every stage of global history.

To this day, believers still account for a large proportion of tourists who come to Dunhuang.

I believe that the existence of the Mogao Grottoes, like the Louvre Museum and Notre Dame Cathedral in France, is a kind of imprint of the glorious era of mankind, which has nothing to do with the sound and entertainment of emperors and monarchs, but lies in the permanent inscription of the human national spirit.

"I'm sorry, then, that I can't come up with a more brilliant opinion than anyone before me. What you said before, you must have read it repeatedly. I replied.

The fat man smiled and immediately asked, "If you have no opinion, what's the point of drawing a rebounding pipa diagram?" ”

I shook my head: "Everyone has the luxury of having an epiphany, but how can everyone have an epiphany?" I'm just trying to find solace in my soul through some stupid methods that have accumulated over time, and what you want to know is 108,000 miles away, and it's not worth mentioning. ”

This is true, I still don't have a meaningful epiphany when I depict the rebounding pipa picture, even Meng Qiao knows this very well, but he just lets me go to Cave 112 of Mogao Caves to paint, but he no longer takes the initiative to discuss the meaning of the mural with me.

"There's a lot going on in the painting - I have some insights on the bouncing pipa picture, would Mr. Long be willing to listen to it?" The fat man asked.

I nodded: "Of course I am willing to listen, I am willing to hear it." ”

I hate the Japanese, but I don't hate the unique wisdom of any one people. If you want to make progress, you must have the mind to learn from the strengths of others.

The smile on the fat man's face slowly faded, he cleared his throat, and said word by word: "Chinese always use 'the dragon sees the head but does not see the tail' to describe a strange person and a certain strange thing, and the rebound pipa diagram is such a thing." In the picture, I only see a stunning bullet, and I don't see other foreplay and follow-up actions, which is the most important point. ”

What he said is also the truth, previously, there were scholars in the Chinese folk dance circle who raised the same question, and after ten years of hard work, they finally restored the true nature of the rebound pipa dance according to their own opinions, and based on this, created the musical dance drama "Rebound Pipa", which launched a three-year global tour.

This was the only major breakthrough in the study of the murals of the Mogao Grottoes, and the scholar was famous, but he was sent to the Dunhuang Psychiatric Hospital due to excessive mental exhaustion.

"Your Excellency means that by restoring the bouncing lute, you can find the ultimate meaning hidden behind the mural?" I asked.

Since the other party has been studying the "Rebound Pipa Diagram" for many years, he is no stranger to the scholar locked up in the mental hospital, and he must have analyzed and explored the research done by the scholar many times.

"Yes." The fat man nodded.

I smiled silently, and at the same time silently wished the other party to report to a mental hospital in the future.

There has always been a great deal of controversy about the limits of human brainpower. Some biological research institutes have unashamedly announced that only 4 percent of the human brain function has been developed, and only 10 percent of the human brain has been developed. If the functions of the brain can be fully developed to 100 percent, then human intelligence will be omnipotent and become the only primate in the universe.

The fact is that, according to the physiological structure, the human brain is like an engine, and the design limit is 10,000 revolutions per minute, but that is only the theoretical limit, and the actual limit is only 4,000 revolutions per minute. If it is forcibly promoted, the final outcome can only be the destruction of the machine and the death of people.

"I've restored the bouncing lute—" The fat man turned around and pointed to the mural behind him.

I was a little surprised, when I first opened my eyes, I had already browsed the mural, and its content didn't seem to have anything to do with the bouncing pipa.

Sang Wanyu and Takagi also followed the fat man's gesture and stared at the mural intently.

I looked at the mural again, and it wasn't until two minutes later that I realized that I seemed to have been fooled by the fat man, and I couldn't help frowning: "Your Excellency, although this mural is good, it has no value, and it has nothing to do with the rebounding lute." ”

Half of the themes in the murals are related to the promotion of Buddhism, among which of course the two famous Buddhist scripture stories are "Cutting Meat to Feed the Eagle" and "Sacrificing the Body to Feed the Tiger". I've read a lot of similar mural materials, and now I see that although the murals are large, they are just a hodgepodge of great value.

"Look at the mountains are just mountains, look at the mountains are not mountains, look at the mountains are still mountains!" The fat man said leisurely.

Those three sentences are a high-level overview of the three different stages of artistic practice, and his use of these three sentences here seems to be a satire on my eyesight.

I didn't get angry, I just shook my head, indicating that I didn't agree with the other person's opinion.

"The reason why you don't see it is because you lack a pair of glasses." The fat man said again.

I pondered this sentence, and suddenly my mind lit up, and I shouted at the same time as Sang Wanyu: "Three-dimensional glasses? ”

Here, I don't need to go into the principle of stereoscopic glasses, but just make a rough analogy: under natural conditions, the human eye is only in a very narrow and weak state of observation and discernment, and cannot observe things in the four-dimensional world, let alone the five-dimensional space and six-dimensional space.

Stereoscopic glasses allow humans to view images from two to three dimensions, and once the range changes, human beings will think completely differently about their own world and the world outside their bodies.

It is conceivable that if we use tools to move from three dimensions to four or five dimensions, then the progress of human thinking ability will be rapid and rapid.

Although there are many experts who study the murals of the Mogao Grottoes, no one has ever put forward the unique view of "looking at the murals with stereoscopic glasses". Now, after being reminded by this fat man from Japan, I suddenly realized that I woke up like a dream.

In fact, in the process of tracing the rebound pipa diagram over the years, I am close to an epiphany, perhaps only a layer of window paper, and I am almost awakened by a word from an outsider.

"You have glasses? Can I borrow a view? Sang Wanyu couldn't hold back her joy.

The fat man smiled and nodded: "Of course, of course, as long as everyone is interested, you can refer to these murals together and find the mysteries buried deep in them." When it comes to scientific research, we Japanese people have always been open-minded and willing to work together with all experts from all over the world to make progress together. ”

I was ecstatic, but I didn't dare to forget the predicament I was in.

In this case, even if I or Sang Wanyu found something on the mural, the final result could only fall into the hands of the fat man, making wedding clothes for others.

"Mr. Long, what do you say?" The fat man looked at me with a smile.

"Forgive me for being stupid, murals are just flat paintings, and it is impossible for painters of each era to adopt three-dimensional composition techniques when painting on the walls, so if you wear any glasses, what you see is still a flat painting, and it is impossible to produce other effects." I said lightly.

"Anyway, let's see it, isn't it?" Sang Wanyu said eagerly.

"yes, yes, even if it doesn't work after watching it, it doesn't hurt, right? Scientific research is like this, making bold assumptions and carefully verifying until you reach the other side of the truth...... Hehehehe, Mr. Long is too careful, do you think I have some trap hidden in my glasses? I promise - I guarantee in the honor of the Yamato nation that there are absolutely no pitfalls, but I only invite the two of you to participate in the research and work together to find out the secrets of the heritage of all human civilization. The smile on the fat man's face was still bright, but there were obvious clouds in his eyes.

Three-dimensional paintings are significantly different from two-dimensional paintings, and they can be easily distinguished even without three-dimensional glasses.

I think back to the mural painting in Cave 112 of the Mogao Grottoes, and carefully ponder the strokes and pigments of the rebound pipa picture, and I really can't find any possibility that it is a three-dimensional painting.

"I give up." I say.

Sang Wanyu was quite surprised: "Mr. Long, why did you retreat from the battle?" ”

"This is an impossible way to succeed, I have just said that in ancient times, there was no such thing as three-dimensional painting, and painters only knew how to paint on a flat surface, and they didn't even have the concept of three-dimensional painting in their minds, how could it be—" I didn't continue, and shook my head again to express my opinion.

"You are not an ancient, how do you know what the ancients thought?" The fat man laughed and covered his mouth with his right hand, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

I immediately asked, "Your Excellency is not an ancient, how do you know that the ancients could draw three-dimensional pictures?" ”

The fat man waved his hand: "As long as you wear stereoscopic glasses, you can verify it immediately." ”

I sneered slightly: "Since Your Excellency supports the idea of stereoscopic glasses, then you must gain a lot from it, why don't you tell us the results directly?" ”

He insisted on encouraging us to use stereoscopic glasses, which made me very suspicious and felt more and more deceitful.

"The result is that a picture of a rebounding pipa is a large period of life history, a maiko's life cycle is programmed into the changes of the times, everything falls in her eyes, everything is expressed in her dancing in detail, which is the most appropriate expression of Buddhism's 'one sand, one world, one flower and one Buddha country'. I invited you to see it because I wanted to verify the credibility of my discovery through the eyes of a master. Since Mr. Long refused to help, it was really a pity. The fat man said.

"I'm willing, I'm willing to try!" Takagi suddenly shouted loudly.

Taking advantage of the moment when the fat man looked at Takagi, I glanced at Sang Wanyu and applauded lightly: "Okay, since Mr. Takagi has a great interest in stereoscopic glasses, then ask him to be an example, and it is better to look at it first." ”

Takagi is Japanese, and it is only fitting that he should go to the mines, at least not for me and Sang Wanyu to be in danger.

"You?" The fat man frowned.

"Yes, it's me, I'm willing to try!" Takagi nodded repeatedly, eager to try.

The fat man nodded: "Okay, the young man's courage is commendable, congratulations!" ”

He high-fived him as someone came in from outside the door, holding four black cardboard boxes in both hands, carefully placed on the coffee table in front of us.

After receiving my warning hints, Sang Wanyu became cautious, and just looked at the boxes silently.

Takagi stood up impatiently, grabbed a box with both hands, tore it open with a thud, and clutched a pair of black-rimmed glasses in his hand.

"Just put it on and look at the mural in front of you." The fat man said.

Takagi was obedient, walked to the mural, raised his hand and put on his glasses.

As I said before, the content of the mural is a hodgepodge, which is equivalent to copying all the murals in the Mogao Grottoes and moving them to a high wall. Therefore, there is no clear connection between these contents, and their stories and ideas are also very different and cannot be connected.

If it weren't for the fat man's mention of stereoscopic glasses, I would have given up on the mural and turned my attention elsewhere.

Takagi strode forward, and halfway through, he put on his glasses.

I didn't make any movements or expressions, just quietly watched Takagi's back.

Suddenly, Takagi stopped, tilted his head sideways, and listened carefully with his right ear forward.

The mural is silent, and even if there are musicians and dancers on the picture, it is only a work for the occasion, and there seems to be no need to pretend to be listening.

"Shhh

He was ten paces away from the mural, about seven meters, which was the best distance to observe the large mural.

While paying attention to Takagi, I kept glancing at the fat man out of the corner of my eye.

When Takagi made the gesture of listening, the fat man made the same gesture, stretching his neck forward and his right ear forward, concentrating on listening.

"Something strange must have happened - after putting on those glasses!" Sang Wanyu whispered to herself, "The role of the glasses is equivalent to 'cow tears', by the way, it is 'cow tears', the visual function of the human eye plus the strange ability of 'cow tears', you can see all unnatural scenes." ”

Her metaphor is very strange, after all, everyone understands that "cow tears" is one of the main tools of the metaphysical sect to subdue demons and subdue demons, which can be used to open the "heavenly eye" of human beings and glimpse the "heavenly machine".

"Tears of the Ox" has entered the category of idealism, and what we are currently seeing is still a materialist event, which has nothing to do with metaphysics.

"The world is unpredictable...... It turns out that the universe in the mural is so complicated...... They are not paintings, but the real world...... A bigger and better ...... Shinsekai ......" Takagi shuddered and stretched his hands forward in a gesture of embracing the air.

"What should I do?" Sang Wanyu asked in a low voice.

"Wait and see." I replied.
