Chapter 93 Wisdom in a Drop of Water

Zhuge Liang didn't say a word, picked up the teacup and sip it slowly. After a while, an interesting smile slowly appeared on his face: "I didn't expect that the captain knew Liang so well."

Sun Shao was not modest: "I'm afraid I know much more about the general than the general." He paused, didn't wait for Zhuge Liang to speak, and sighed, "Because I think that although General Zuo's account is full of talents, only the general has the talent of heaven and earth. Shao admired the general for a long time, so he was not afraid to talk to him, and he was happy to be in the same car with the general. It's a pity that the general said insincerely and took precautions against me in many ways, which was really frustrating.

Zhuge Liang listened and was very useful, but he said with a silent smile on his face: "The captain's words are heavy. Liang has never been on guard against the captain. If you really guard against the captain, how dare you take the liberty to invite the captain to come to the cold house for a talk. Just now, I just said it casually, and asked the captain not to pay attention to it.

Sun Shao waved his hand and said, "General, don't be too careful. I can understand if you do this. Well, let's not talk about current affairs and personnel today. We only talk about the way of heaven, so as to avoid gossip, which is not good for the general.

Zhuge Liang had no choice. He knew that Sun Shao was blocking him with words, but it was not easy to refuse. He just nodded and said, "Just according to 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 to let the tea hand flow slowly along his fingers. The tea slowly condensed into a drop of water at his fingertips, swaying, but not falling. General, Yi Yun said, 'The way of heaven is vast and all-encomposing'. There are sages in the West who also say 'one flower, one world, one leaf, one universe'. People come from far away, and the road is not far away. Has the general ever thought that there is also a way in this drop of water?

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly. He understood most of what Sun Shao said. Although he had never heard of 'one flower, one world, one leaf, one universe', he could understand it, but isn't it too mysterious to say that there is also a way in this drop of water? He is a pragmatic person and doesn't like these mysterious things. 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 for advice."

"Come on, come and see." Sun Shao waved his hand and motioned Zhuge Liang to go over a little.

Zhuge Liang became more and more unhappy, but it was not easy to refuse, so he had to come 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 look at this scene through this water drop, which can be different from usual."

Zhuge Liang saw that he said solemnly, but he couldn't figure it out. According to Sun Shao's words, he looked attentively through the water droplets, but he saw that there was nothing in the water droplets. At this moment, Sun Shao's other hand slowly approached the water drop, and two fingers took a hair: "General, please look at this hair through this water drop."

Zhuge Liang looked carefully when he heard the words. At a glance, he was immediately surprised. The hair behind the water droplet obviously looked much thicker.

Seeing Zhuge Liang's astonishment, Sun Shao smiled, shook his fingers, threw the tea, threw his hair again, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea again. Then he looked at Zhuge Liang inexplicably: "General, do you understand the truth?"

Zhuge Liang was stunned for a while, shook his head, arched his hand to salute, and looked much more respectful: "Please ask."

Sun Shao did not say the answer directly, and then continued, "The general has been in the army. He must know the glazed beads used to take fire in the army, right?"

Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and thought for a moment, and realized a little: "The captain said that this is the same as the principle of making a fire with glass beads?"

Glass beads refer to glass beads, but the glass production technology of the Three Kingdoms is not up to standard. It is not as pure as the glass of later generations. It usually has some colors and some large and small pores. Even so, these glazed beads are also rare. In addition to being used as ornaments, another function is to gather light and make a fire. If there are suitable glazed beads, the effect is sloppy.

Zhuge Liang stayed in the army for a period of time. He was no stranger to this kind of glazed bead. He also thought about the truth, but he did not get anything. Now when he saw this water drop, he suddenly thought of the glazed bead and faintly felt that he had caught something, but it was not very clear.

"Although it doesn't hit, it's not far away." Sun Shao squinted his eyes and looked at Zhuge Liang, who was contemplating with a smile, and said, "Since the general is familiar with the skills of the Mo family, he must also know that there is such a passage, 'Jing arrived, at noon, with Jing Chang. Say it at the end.' There is also a passage, 'Jing. The person of light is as warm as shooting, and the person who is lower is also high; the person who is high is also lower. The foot covers the light, so it becomes the scene above; the head covers the light, so it becomes the scene below. There is an end in the distance, and in the light, so it is also in the scenery library.

Zhuge Liang thought for a moment and nodded excitedly: "Yes, there are these two sentences."

"In these two sentences, half of the truth is told." Sun Shao said with a smile.

"Half the truth?" Zhuge Liang was really confused. He had read the Mojing. Of course, he knew the meaning of those two sentences, but what did these two sentences have to do with the water droplet in front of him to make his hair thicker? What does it have to do with the fact that glazed beads can gather light and make a fire? He looked at Sun Shao, who looked calmly, and suddenly he was full of curiosity. Did this teenager really know the truth, or was he making a mystery?

"Yes." Sun Shao mentioned the teapot on the case, filled the water in the cup, then pulled out the hairpin from his head and put it diagonally in the tea. "General, what has changed with this hairpin?"

"It seems to be broken." Zhuge Liang had been attracted by him and muttered.

"Well, that's the other half of the truth." Sun Shao laughed, turned off his hairpin again, and then splashed the tea. He looked at Zhuge Liang with a smile, but didn't say anything. Zhuge Liang waited for a long time. Seeing that he was not silent, he couldn't calm down. He had to bow and saluted and said in a low voice, "Please give me some advice."

Sun Shao was very proud. Looking at this wise man who was described by literati in later generations, he worshipped in front of him. This feeling was as good as teasing the peerless beauty in his arms. I can't play with you, but these are my strengths. Aren't you smart? Explain one to me.

Zhuge Liang couldn't explain it, so he had to sincerely ask Sun Shao for advice.

Sun Shao raised his hand, rolled up his sleeves, exposed most of his arm, and quickly shouted, "Give me the pen and paper."

Zhuge Liang didn't care to ask what he wanted for with paper and pen. He quickly got up and entered the room. As soon as he got up and took two steps, his wife Huang Yueying came out with pen and ink. Zhuge Liang took it and turned back in front of Sun Shao. Then he remembered to introduce it. As soon as he looked up, he saw that Sun Shao had avoided the banquet and said, "Do you dare to ask, but the general's wife?"

Huang Yueying hurriedly gave a salute: "Kong Ming is my concubine's clumsy husband. I heard the captain explain the way of heaven. I was happy to see the hunt and lost her temper for a moment. Please forgive me."

"I've heard for a long time that my wife didn't give up her eyebrows. I can see her now. It's really a comfort for the rest of my life. It's a blessing to be able to talk about the way of heaven with my wife.

At this time, Zhuge Liang came back from the struggle for knowledge. When he saw that his wife had met Sun Shao, he didn't say much. Fortunately, Sun Shao was not surprised. He and Huang Yueying looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Sun Shao held the pen in his hand and looked at the bamboo slips with some embarrassment. The bamboo slips were thin and long. There was no problem in writing, but it was not good to draw pictures. He looked up at Zhuge Liang. Before Zhuge Liang could react, Huang Yueying immediately knew what he meant. He turned into the room and took a piece of silk and spread it in front of Sun Shao.
