Chapter Ninety-Three: Wisdom in a Drop of Water
Zhuge Liang didn't say a word, picked up the teacup and sipped slowly, and after a while, a different interesting smile slowly appeared on his face: "I didn't expect the captain to know Liang so well." ”
Sun Shao is also not modest: "I am afraid that I know the general much more deeply than the general knows me." He paused, didn't wait for Zhuge Liang to speak, and sighed again: "Because I think that although General Zuo's account is full of talents, only the general has the talent to go through the heavens and the earth." Shao has admired the general for a long time, so he is not afraid to talk deeply, and happily shares the car with the general. It's a pity that the general can't help but be on guard against me, which is really frustrating. ”
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he was very useful in his heart, but he smiled quietly on his face: "The captain is serious, Liang He has been guarding against the captain." If you really guard against the captain, how dare you take the liberty of inviting the captain to come to the cold house. I just said it casually, and I asked the captain not to take it to heart. ”
Sun Shao waved his hand: "General, don't be careful, I can understand if you do this." In this way, we will not talk about current affairs or personnel today, but only about the way of heaven, so that there will be no gossip that will be unfavorable to the general. ”
Zhuge Liang was helpless, knowing that Sun Shao was blocking him with words, but it was difficult to refuse, so he had to nod his head and say: "Just follow the captain." “
"Let's talk about the Mo family." Sun Shao picked up the teacup, poured some tea in the palm of his hand, and then raised his palm, letting the tea hand slowly flow down his fingers, and the tea slowly condensed into a drop of water at the fingertips, swaying slowly, but not falling. "General, Yi Yun's Heavenly Dao is vast and all-encompassing'. There are sages in the West who are 'one flower and one world, one leaf and one world'. Since it is a person who is far away, the road is not far away. Has the general ever thought that there is a way in this drop of water? ”
Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, he understood most of what Sun Shao said, although he hadn't heard of 'one flower and one world, one leaf and one universe', but he could understand it, but it was too mysterious to say that there was also a way in this drop of water? He is a pragmatic person, he doesn't like these things that are too mysterious, and if Sun Shao wants to talk to him about this, he is not interested. He looked at Sun Shao and said indifferently: "Dare to ask." ”
"Come, come and see." Sun Shao beckoned and motioned for Zhuge Liang to come over a little.
Zhuge Liang became more and more unhappy, but it was difficult to refuse, so he had to lean over and take a perfunctory look, of course, he didn't see anything. Seeing that he was absent-minded, Sun Shao smiled again, carefully moved his finger to his eyes, and then smiled mysteriously: "Please see this scene through this droplet, it can be different from usual." ”
Zhuge Liang saw that he said solemnly, but he was a little confused, he looked at the water droplets intently according to what Sun Shao said, but saw that the water droplets were strange and there was nothing. At this moment, Sun Shao's other hand slowly approached the water droplet, and two fingers stroked a hair: "General, please look at this hair through this water drop." ”
Zhuge Liang took a closer look when he heard this, and when he saw it, he was taken aback, and the hair behind the water droplets obviously looked much thicker.
Seeing Zhuge Liang's stunned look, Sun Shao smiled, shook his fingers, threw off the tea, threw his hair again, picked up the teacup again and took a sip of tea, and then looked at Zhuge Liang incomprehensibly: "Can the general understand the truth in this?" ”
Zhuge Liang was stunned for a while, shook his head, bowed his hand, and looked a lot respectful: "Please ask." ”
Sun Shao didn't say the answer directly, and continued: "The general has been in the army, so he must know the glass beads used for fire in the army, right?" ”
Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and thought about it, and realized a little: "The captain is saying that this is the same as the truth of glass beads making fire?" ”
Glass beads refer to glass beads, but the glass production technology of the Three Kingdoms is not up to par, not as pure as the glass of later generations, usually with some colors, and some large and small pores. In spite of this, these glass beads are also rare things, in addition to being used as ornaments, there is also a role is used to concentrate light and make fire, if there is a suitable glass beads, the effect is sloppy and reasonable.
Zhuge Liang has been in the army for a while, he is no stranger to this kind of glass beads, he has also thought about the truth, but there is nothing, now seeing this water beads, he suddenly thought of the glass beads, faintly felt that he had caught something, but it was not very clear.
"Even if it doesn't hit, it's not far away." Sun Shao squinted his eyes, looked at the pensive Zhuge Liang with a smile, and said: "Since the general is familiar with the Mo family's mechanical skills, he must also know that there is such a passage, 'Jing arrives, there is a end at noon, and Jing Chang. Say it on the end. And there's another passage, 'Jing. The man of light is as bright as he shines, and the man who is below is also high; The one who is higher also goes down. The foot shades the light, so the scene is on the top; The first cover is glazed, so the scenery is below. There is an end in the near and far, and Yu Guang, so the scenery library is also. ’”
Zhuge Liang thought about it and nodded a little excitedly: "Yes, there are these two sentences." ”
"In these two sentences, half of the truth is spoken." Sun Shao said with a smile.
"Half the truth?" Zhuge Liang was really a little confused, he had read the Book of Ink, of course he knew the meaning of those two sentences, but what did these two sentences have to do with the water droplets in front of him that could thicken his hair? And what does it have to do with the fact that glass beads can concentrate light and make fire? He looked at Sun Shao, who was calm, and suddenly he was full of curiosity, did this young man really know the truth, or was he playing tricks?
"Yes." Sun Shao lifted the teapot on the table, filled the cup with water, then plucked the hairpin from his head and placed it diagonally in the tea, "General, what has changed in this hairpin?" ”
"Seems to be broken." Zhuge Liang was already attracted to him and muttered.
"Well, that's the other half." Sun Shao laughed, re-pinned the hairpin, then spilled the tea, looked at Zhuge Liang with a smile, but did not speak. Zhuge Liang waited for a long time, and when he saw that he was silent, he couldn't hold his breath, so he had to bow down and salute, and said in a deep voice: "Please give the captain advice." ”
Sun Shao was very proud, watching this wise man who was described by later generations as wise and almost demonic in front of him, this feeling was as cool as holding a peerless beauty in his arms and teasing. Lao Tzu can't play with power, but these are my strengths. Aren't you smart? Explain one to me.
Zhuge Liang couldn't explain, so he had to sincerely ask Sun Shao for advice.
Sun Shao raised his hand, rolled up his sleeves, exposed most of his arms, and quickly shouted, "Take a pen and paper." ”
Zhuge Liang didn't bother to ask what he wanted the pen and paper for, so he quickly got up and entered the room, and just took two steps when he got up, but his wife Huang Yueying walked out with a pen and ink, Zhuge Liang took it easily, turned around and put it in front of Sun Shao, and then remembered to introduce it. When he looked up, he saw that Sun Shao had already avoided Shi Li: "Dare to ask, but the general's wife?" ”
Huang Yueying hurriedly saluted: "Kong Ming is the concubine's clumsy husband, when I heard the captain explain the way of heaven, the concubine was happy when she saw the hunt, and she lost her temper for a while, so please forgive the captain." ”
"Mrs. Jiuwen didn't let her eyebrows, and now she can see it, which is really comforting. It is a blessing to be able to talk about the way of heaven with my wife. ”
Zhuge Liang only came back from the contention for knowledge at this time, and saw that his wife had already greeted Sun Shao, and he didn't say anything, but fortunately, Sun Shao was not surprised, he and Huang Yueying glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Sun Shao held the pen in his hand, and glanced at the bamboo slip with some embarrassment, this bamboo slip is thin and long, and it is no problem to write, but it is not good to draw. He glanced up at Zhuge Liang, but before Zhuge Liang could react, Huang Yueying immediately knew what he meant, reflexively entered the room, and took a piece of silk to spread in front of Sun Shao.
