One flower is one world, one leaf is one Bodhi. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Legend has it that the Buddha plucked the flowers, and the leaves smiled, so that they could inherit the mantle of the Buddha. The meaning of the Buddha's flowers is unknown, but these two verses are well-known.

"What the master just saw was not a spell, but a very ordinary optical phenomenon." "To put it simply, the light will be refracted through the cup, and the last thing that falls into our eyes is the magnified scene. ”

"The little benefactor is really knowledgeable and talented, I see that you have a relationship with my Buddha, it is better to enter my Buddha's door, and he will surely achieve positive results one day." Hui Cheng said quietly.

"Forget it, you monks have too many rules and precepts, I can't enjoy it." Wang Mai hurriedly refused, "I'll help you make a microscope, you can observe the world in a grain of sand, this has already given you a big advantage, don't want to hit my attention again, otherwise we will scatter." ”

Huicheng sighed: "It's a pity that the little donor doesn't want to enter my Buddhism." ”

"It's not a pity!" Wang Mai waved his hand, "What I pursue is different from your Buddhism, and it is the opposite of each other." ”

"Is there really another world in this drop of water and a grain of sand that the little donor said?" The old monk asked uneasily.

"Can't be wrong!" Wang Mai replied affirmatively, "It is not good for me to lie to you, and I am not full of food." This thing is not only of great significance to your Buddhism, but also to me. With it, people's perception of the world will be raised to another level. ”

"Why did the little donor dedicate such an important thing to my Buddhism?"

"I have no other purpose." Wang Mai shook his head and said, "It's just that I'm too poor and the glass is too expensive, so I have no choice but to ask you rich people to sponsor me." ”

"Sponsorship?" Hui Cheng smiled slightly, "The little donor's words are really unique. ”

"Don't worry about these details," Wang Mai continued, "it's much better to give it to you than to those stinky Taoist priests, and I have a better opinion of your Buddhism than theirs." ”

"The little benefactor really has no other requirements?" Hui Cheng asked again. He felt that if it was really as Wang Mai said, if he could see another world with a microscope made of glass, the cost of paying a glass production method was almost negligible, so he couldn't believe that this person could easily give such an important thing to Buddhism.

"Huh?" Wang Mai frowned, "I want to think about it." ”

Sure enough, this person would not give such a strange thing so easily.

"That's right, that ...... I have a friend who has set up a memorial tablet in the White Horse Temple, and you can see if you can waive the money she has to donate every year for sesame oil. Wang Mai thought for a while and said, "She is a woman and a child, and her life is not easy." ”

"That's all?" Hui Cheng glared and asked a little out of shape. What is this requirement? With this method of glass making, not to mention the sesame oil money for a deceased tablet, it is enough to donate a temple.

"That's all." Wang Mai nodded.

"That's all?" Xu Wenyuan looked at Wang Mai incredulously, "You gave things to that Huicheng so easily?" ”

"yes." Out of the mountain gate, Wang Mai had no choice but to explain the whole story to the three of them under the questioning of the three.

"You ......" Xu Wenyuan almost vomited blood angrily, "For the sake of this petty profit, you actually gave such a treasure to others easily." ”

"Lao Xu, don't stand and talk without backache, what do you mean by a little profit? With this method of making glass, I am not far from the goal of becoming the richest man in Luoyang. ”

"If you want money, I can give it to you, why bother to fake others, we have a few old bones, it's no problem to make up tens of thousands. Now that this treasure has fallen into the hands of Buddhism, how can I get along with Confucianism? Kong Yingda was also angry with him.

"Zheng Yushi, you are fair, is it possible that I have lost money in this business?" Wang Mai had no choice but to ask Zheng Ting, who was close to Buddhism, for help.

"Alas......" Zheng Cheng shook his head and sighed.

Come on. Wang Mai didn't expect a microscope to be so valued by the three of them, and he thought that these old guys had been using these things as a strange trick.

"Alright, don't be angry. As long as you have this glass production method, I can make as many microscopes as you want when the time comes, just one microscope, just give them to them. There was no way, Wang Mai had to take the initiative to admit his mistake.

"You yellow-mouthed boy is light-hearted." Lao Xu hasn't scolded people for a long time, but this time he really can't bear it, "Do you know that this Buddhism doesn't produce and doesn't pay taxes, and how much revenue does their court lose every year?" Now that you are good, make a microscope, and the Buddha Gate has obtained such a treasure, and the believers will definitely fight. In this way, the losses are even more incalculable. You are simply a disgrace to my Confucianism, angry old man! ”

"Then I will either regret it now and not cooperate with them." When Wang Mai heard that the matter was so serious, he retreated in his heart.

"Humph!" Kong Yingda sneered, "Do you think this Buddhism is a place where you can enter and retreat if you want to?" You regret it now, they have a way to get you to tell the secret of the microscope. ”

"Neither advance nor retreat, so what should I do?" Wang Mai's head suddenly became bigger, and he knew that this was the case, so he wouldn't make this one.

"For the sake of today, you still have to fulfill your promise according to the agreement with Huicheng." Xu Wenyuan thought for a while and said, "But I also need to make one for my Confucianism at the same time, this Buddhism has this treasure, and it will definitely hold a long ZQ ceremony to promote this thing." At that time, we will preemptively announce that this thing belongs to our Confucian sect before they do, thinking that the impact of this matter will be minimized. ”

After a long time, the three old guys were still playing their own ideas, but it could only be so. Wang Mai smiled bitterly: "Speaking of which, the production of this microscope is inseparable from the glass, if there is no method of making this glass, I am afraid that all the glazed ware in Luoyang City will be in my hands, and I am not sure that I can make high-quality lenses." With this method, at least there is no need to worry about the material. In fact, in addition to microscopes, there is also a telescope that can be made from this glass. ”

"What is a telescope?" The three of them asked curiously.

"The principle is the same as this microscope, which is to see things clearly by magnifying the light. But microscopes look at tiny creatures, while telescopes magnify vistains. For example, when I stand at the head of Luoyang City and look at the White Horse Temple, everything in the temple can be seen clearly. If it is made with sufficient precision, it can even see everything on the moon. Wang Mai explained.

"See the moon?" The three of them were taken aback.

Wang Mai nodded, not to mention the moon, I heard that the astronomical telescope made by Galileo can see Saturn clearly.

The three of them were all dazzled, and Kong Yingda complained dissatisfiedly: "Such a strange thing, why didn't you take it out earlier?" ”

"I thought you didn't pay attention to these things, for fear of being scolded for your strange and lewd skills, so you had some scruples." Wang Mai told the truth.

The three of them were silent for a while. Indeed, if it weren't for today's Wang Mai's dedication to Buddhism, they would not have delved into what this microscope was. Kong Yingda kept thinking about the conversation between the three of them before, and felt that it was time to pay enough attention to this Wang Mai. If it is really as he said, the microscope can observe those small insects that are invisible to the naked eye, the significance of this event can be described as earth-shattering, not to mention the direct effects of treating epidemics and so on.

Thinking of this, Kong Yingda sorted out his thoughts and said to Wang Mai: "After resting, you can put aside the matter of arithmetic for a while, and concentrate on studying the method of making this microscope." ”

Wang Mai nodded obediently.

"Also, you put forward the proposal for the debate, and you should also participate in it, and don't think that this matter has nothing to do with you."

"Got it."

Xu Wenyuan looked at the depressed Wang Mai and showed a smile. I'm afraid it will bring more unexpected surprises to everyone, so I'm really looking forward to it.

Today is Qingming, and on the way back to the city, I saw many people worshipping in front of the grave. Luoyang has experienced several wars, coupled with the reign of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty before, there are countless tombs on the road, and everyone is a little heavy when they see this scene.

"Poor and uncertain riverside bones, like a person in a spring boudoir dream." Wang Mai couldn't help but chant.

"Alas!" When the three of them heard such sad verses, they all mourned from their hearts.

When I returned to the city, it was already dark, and the slanting red sun waved goodbye to everyone in a colorful glow robe.

When Wang Mai returned home, he found a letter in the courtyard that had been thrown in by someone who had thrown it in.

When I opened the envelope, I found that there was no signature on the bottom of the letter:

Thank you Assistant Teacher Wang for saving your life, and you will remember it in this life. Early tomorrow morning, I will go out with the two generals of Qin Cheng and meet again. Well-known does not have.

Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin were sent by Wang Shichong to attack Guzhou, and Shan Xiongxin also arranged Dugu Xiude in the pro-military camp under Qin Qiong. If nothing else, on this expedition, they should surrender to the Tang Dynasty before the battle. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I haven't taken the initiative to contact them for a long time. Thinking that they had just been separated from everyone not long after, Wang Mai felt a little sad, especially wealthy, it can be said that he single-handedly changed the fate of this country child. Blessings and misfortunes are unpredictable, and I hope they will have all the best on this trip.

However, the only good news today is that although Rou Niang is married but widowed, thinking of this, Wang Mai's heart is hot again.

Ask Song Laosan tomorrow how to deal with objects in this era? Is it just a dowry to visit? It seems that I have to find a matchmaker to make peace. This Rou Niang must have no relatives and no reason, otherwise a weak woman would not come out to support the family. Then, whether this matter can be done or not depends on her own opinion.

Wang Mai looked at his reflection in the basin, he didn't look bad, and now he has bought a house in this world-class big city, his work income is stable, and he has a side job. No matter how you look at it, she is a golden beetle son-in-law, and this Rou Niang has no reason to refuse. Believe in yourself, Wang Mai, you can.

encouraged himself, Wang Mai finally lay down and fell asleep satisfied.
