Chapter 189

Yang Reform smiled and despised Zhang Xianyong, this guy is not good enough to pretend to be a magic stick!In front of such a great stick like myself, that trick is really not enough!
Yang Reform wasn't playing charades with him anymore, he picked up a glass rod the size of chopsticks in his hand, and said, "Master Zhang, come and see, what's wrong with this thing?"

Zhang Xianyong was even more confused, and moved to the front of the table, only to see a few bright, smooth and transparent jade-like "chopsticks" on the table. After careful identification, Zhang Xianyong concluded that these were glass rods, which were sold recently. The glass was hot, but the strange thing is that the emperor held a glass rod in his hand, and the hot-selling glass was made of flat plates.

Zhang Xianyong took the glass rod handed over by the emperor, inspected it carefully, and found that the glass rod was really well made, uniform, translucent, and exquisitely polished.Should be able to fetch a good price.

"Really Zhang, look at this thing, do you recognize it? What do you think it is useful for?" Yang Reform asked with a smile.

Zhang Xianyong was confused, he couldn't figure out why the emperor asked him what he was doing, thought for a while, and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I know this thing, it's called glass, I think it looks like chopsticks, could it be used to pick up vegetables? I don’t know if it’s durable or not, it’s said that glass is very fragile, I’m afraid that I’ll accidentally bite my chopsticks and hurt my mouth..." Zhang Xianyong, with an air of mastery, explained the purpose of this glass rod after careful consideration.

"Hahaha..." Yang Reform was amused by this guy. This guy used glass rods to make chopsticks. Fortunately, he figured out that his chemistry teacher would definitely let this guy drink the dilute sulfuric acid stirred with glass rods. go down.

When Zhang Xianyong saw the emperor laughing, he knew that he had guessed wrong. He corrected it immediately, and said very seriously: "...Your Majesty, do you want to ask how this glass is made? Ask Pindao how to make glass? Ask Pindao how this glass is made. Mystery?" Zhang Xianyong was very serious, if the emperor really asked about the principle and firing method of this new glass, he might have to hit the wall, he was very serious on the surface, but extremely nervous in his heart.

Speaking of this, Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi, who have been watching the theater just now, both have serious faces. This glass is a new gadget that has recently come out. Not only can it transmit light, but it can also be used as a mirror. The characters in the photo are fully visible. If the emperor called this real person Zhang to ask about the principle of glass, the method of making it, and the mystery of it, then this emperor would be a good emperor. Looking for a way to make money, if this is the case, then the emperor was wrong just now.

Yang Reform not only laughed loudly, but also laughed inwardly. He even asked the truth about glass?secret?The formula for this glass is made by myself, and this glass field is opened by myself, so I still need to ask you this magic stick?

"No! I'm not going to ask how the glass is made, I'm just curious..."

Zhang Xianyong heard half of what the emperor said, and heard that the emperor didn't ask how to make glass or the mystery of glass, so he felt relieved and waited for the second half of the emperor's sentence.

"...Master Zhang, look, what's the difference between this glass rod and ordinary glass?"

Under the watchful eyes of the other three people, Zhang Xianyong picked up the glass rod, looked carefully, but did not see a flower, and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Pindao didn't see any difference, but it is different from ordinary glass. , This is similar to a chopstick, but the glass I saw in the poor way is in pieces and flat, this is probably the difference." Zhang Xianyong looked at it for a long time and came to this conclusion.

"Well, this is also true. What Zhang Zhenren said is correct. Zhang Zhenren took a glass rod and dipped the pile of paper scraps to see if it can be stained." Yang Reform ordered.

Confetti on a glass rod?Zhang Xianyong was very puzzled, could the glass still be covered with confetti?So, Zhang Xianyong took the glass rod and touched the pile of scraps of paper on the table...

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Pindao did not get the scraps of paper up..." Zhang Xianyong told the truth by seeing it.

"Well, yes, indeed, Master Zhang, you did not use the glass rod to stain the confetti. I saw it, but I can do it." Yang Reform picked up a silk handkerchief, wrapped the glass rod, and rubbed it continuously. .After rubbing for a while, Yang Reform used a glass rod to dip the pile of paper scraps. The paper scraps were miraculously stuck to the glass rod, as if something could absorb the paper scraps.Not long after, the scraps of paper fell down, and Yang Reform touched it again, and the scraps of paper were stuck on it again.

Seeing this "miraculous" scene, the three people in the pavilion were all stunned.what is this?Why is the emperor's glass stained with confetti?this?Could it be the power of ghosts and gods?Is it a mysterious force?Sun and Xu are alright, Zhang Xianyong has already knelt down on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty is the son of the real dragon, and he possesses the power of a real dragon. Therefore, with this supernatural power, the pindao can see your majesty perform such magical powers." It’s really a fortune for poor people!” The magic stick who has been pretending to be a ghost all his life saw such strange and strange things, and even thought it was the work of gods, and he thought that the real god was manifesting, and he was even more frightened. Who in this world is most afraid of ghosts?It's the guys who play tricks.

Yang Reform laughed, looked at the "magic stick" at the foot of the table, and said, "Master Zhang, can you explain to me the mystery of this, or what is the reason?" Yang Reform despised this magic stick, he was just a You did a physics experiment in junior high school, you are so superstitious!It's really weak!
What else did Zhang Xianyong dare to say? It seems that this emperor is more skilled than his professional magician.What's the point there.He just knelt under the table and kowtowed, not even daring to strike up a conversation.

Seeing that Zhang Xianyong had been hiding under the table without answering for a long time, Yang Reform became a little impatient, and said, "Zhang Xianyong? What do I ask you? What is Dao? Where is my Dao? Where is the mystery? You hurry up and tell me Can I explain?" Yang Reform is not going to let Zhang Xianyong go today, if Zhang Xianyong is such a pustule, why would he fool him?Isn't it a waste of expression?
Zhang Xianyong "hid" under the table, there was really no way, the emperor obviously knew it better than himself, how dare he continue to fool the emperor?This deception is no joke!He was repeatedly questioned by the emperor, but he couldn't resist, so he raised his head and said evasively, "Reporting to Your Majesty, this is the power of your real dragon, so this miraculous thing happened! Xiaodao is a mortal, so he can't show his holiness, there can be no Such a miraculous thing." Zhang Xianyong is an old superstitious person. Apart from having a better understanding of superstition, it is impossible for him to say why. If you want him to meditate, chant mantras, and memorize scriptures, then he is a good hand. Let him pretend to be a ghost, he is a good hand, and he is powerless to explain scientific phenomena and principles.

"Hehe, the power of a real dragon? Daoist Zhang, what do you mean? Can someone with the power of a real dragon do such a thing? Then come here, wipe the glass with this silk, and then absorb the paper Take a look." Yang Reform clearly remembered that when he was in middle school, his physics teacher said that this was due to static electricity and had absolutely nothing to do with the power of a real dragon.

Zhang Xianyong was very hesitant, feeling a lot of pressure, the emperor's "aura" had completely enveloped the entire pavilion, once the emperor opened his mouth, he couldn't help but do something else.

Not to mention Zhang Xianyong, the other three people in Tingzizi also opened their eyes wide, ready to take a closer look to see what was going on.If Zhang Xianyong can also pick up scraps of paper by rubbing the glass rod, then the problem is not with the person, but with the silk.

Zhang Xianyong slowly picked up the silk and rubbed the glass stick, rubbing it back and forth a dozen times, and then brought the glass stick close to the pile of scraps of paper. At the same time, he opened his eyes wide, ready to see the result.

A miraculous thing happened. This time, Zhang Xianyong was able to inhale the scraps of paper by rubbing the glass rod.Zhang Xianyong opened his mouth wide, watching this miraculous scene, he didn't know what to say.shocked.Several other people were also taken aback!The problem, as expected, lies in the silk, the glass rod rubbed with silk, it can absorb scraps of paper.

Yang Reform looked at Zhang Xianyong in a daze, surprised, and said, "How? Master Zhang? Does this mean that you also have the power of a real dragon? You can also suck up this piece of paper now!" Yang Reform joked. .

Zhang Xianyong was so frightened that his legs went limp, the power of a real dragon?Do you have the power of a true dragon?With my old life, I still want to live for a few more years. If I have the power of a real dragon, if I want to do that, I guess my head will fall outside the Meridian Gate.He immediately fell to his knees, begging for mercy.

Yang Reform looked at this magic stick, and he was quite satisfied in his heart. He had spent a lot of energy trying to fool him. Now that he looks so frightened and stupid, it should be easier to subdue and use him.

Zhang Xianyong didn't dare to say anything, just kowtowed and begged for mercy.

The two "Emperor Teachers" standing on both sides were also very interested in this. Xu Guangqi asked: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, why is this? Why is there such a magical power after rubbing with silk? It seems that this glass rod has It's amazing that some invisible force is around and sucking up this scrap of paper."

"Hehe, Master Xu, you can try it too, and we can talk after you try it." Yang Reform asked Xu Guangqi to try it too.Seeing that Sun Chengzong was also eager to try, he said: "Master Sun, you can also try it and see what the result will be."

Both Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong picked up the glass rod and rubbed it with silk. After a while, they felt that the friction was enough, and they put it next to the pair of scraps of paper. A miraculous thing happened, and the pile of scraps of paper was also absorbed. I got up a lot.Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong looked at the glass rod curiously, and then at the emperor. Why?Why is this happening?Something must have happened, right after rubbing the glass with silk.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, why is this? Why does glass rubbed with silk have such a miraculous effect?" Xu Guangqi's "scientific nature" is relatively strong, and he was curious, so he decided to ask the emperor what was going on.

Zhang Xianyong saw that the two imperial masters were also able to pick up scraps of paper by rubbing against the glass, and he was dumbfounded. Could it be that they themselves have the same power as a real dragon?Obviously, my own statement is unreliable, and there must be no such thing as real dragon power. It seems that the charge of deceiving the emperor is about to be confirmed.He stared blankly at the emperor and the others.

"I also want to know the mysteries of this. I think there are so many 'Taos', so many 'reasons', and so many mysteries in the universe. As the "Tao Te Ching" strongly said, 'Tao can be said, very Tao , The name can be named, it is very famous...' Thinking about the phenomenon today, these principles must have always existed, but no one can discover it. Even if this phenomenon is known now, but I don’t know why it happened. The mystery of this method is to find the shortcut to the "Tao"! Then where is the "Tao"?... The "Tao" in this world is just like what is said in the scriptures, mysterious and mysterious!..." Yang Reform Like a magic stick, muttering.

"It would be great if someone could explain to me the mystery of this? This mysterious door..." Yang Reform said, pushing open the window on the south side. At this time, it was probably after two o'clock in the noon At that time, the sun just shone into the pavilion through the window.

Yang Reform took out the magnifying glass from the box, put the magnifying glass under the sunlight, and after focusing, the spot of light fell on the paper.

"Two masters, Daoist Zhang, let's take a look at the mysteries of the universe again, and see what method this is supposed to be in the universe."

Hearing the emperor's call, several people focused their eyes on the emperor's magnifying glass and the light spot on the paper.After a while, a miraculous thing happened. The place on the paper illuminated by the light spot began to turn yellow, and then blue smoke came out. After a flash, it ignited.Yang Reform picked up the burnt paper and threw it on the ground, and soon it turned into ashes.

This even more "magical" scene made several people in the pavilion even more stunned. If the adsorption of scraps of paper just now can be said to be indifferent, then the process of burning paper with sunlight seems very strange, and it is really deep. These few people were shocked.

"Master Zhang, can you explain to me what is the reason? The mystery of this, I want to seek the Tao, but I don't know where the 'Tao' is, even if the 'Tao' is by my side, I can see it, I feel it I still don't know why the 'Tao' is true..." Yang Reform pursued Zhang Xianyong.

"This... this... Your Majesty, probably your Majesty used the power of the real fire of the sun..." Zhang Xianyong really had no words to explain to the emperor, so he could only give the most appropriate name according to his own understanding. , the beads of sweat on his forehead were huge.

"Then why can't it be lit directly under the sun?"

In this not hot weather, Zhang Xianyong was sweating more than in the scorching heat. He kept wiping off his sweat and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, it's probably, probably... yes, probably..." Zhang Xianyong was flustered and nervous , helplessness, fear, and fear all in one, where is there still the mind to discuss the "Tao" with the emperor.

"Your Majesty, from my point of view, this probably has something to do with the light. I don't know if what I said is correct?" Xu Guangqi said and relieved Zhang Xianyong's encirclement.

Yang Reform praised in his heart, this Xu Guangqi is worthy of having seen the world, and he also knows a little about the function and principle of this magnifying glass.

"Hehe, Master Xu is right. This is indeed related to light. The one in my hand is called a magnifying glass. Using the 'Tao' I have summed up, I can explain the mystery of it. The method is probably like this. This magnifying glass has The function of refracting and concentrating the light is to think that the sun is very warm when it shines on the human body. If the sun is big, it may be hot. That is to say, the heat of the sun the size of the mouth of the bowl is all concentrated on a point like the tip of the pen. The same sun rays and heat, the area is reduced several times, and the heat received by this point must be several times the original mouth of the bowl. This paper can also be burned, this is what I concluded..." Yang Reform explained the principle of this experiment with a little bluntness.

Xu Guangqi nodded in agreement, looking like this. Sun Chengzong also nodded, feeling that he understood. Wang Chengen looked at the magnifying glass in the emperor's hand suspiciously. He didn't know when the emperor understood so much.

Zhang Xianyong was at a loss, looking at the magnifying glass in the emperor's hand, not knowing what to say or what to do.

"Hehe, Master Zhang, do you now know why I came to ask you?" Yang Reform asked with a smile.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I am ashamed, ashamed, poor and ignorant, unable to explain your majesty's doubts, and unworthy to talk to your majesty." Zhang Xianyong was really scared, the emperor was obviously a very shrewd guy, and he even fooled him What longevity.It's really a gangster who doesn't know how to live or die, which frightens the dog's eyes.

"No! I invited real people here today to talk with real people. It's not for joking." Yang Reform said solemnly.

"...I don't know what His Majesty means?" Zhang Xianyong was really confused. What exactly is the emperor going to do?kidding me?Seems to be enough for now.

"I really want to seek the Tao, and I sincerely ask. I feel that this 'Tao' is the way to explain all the mysteries between the heaven and the earth. I sincerely yearn for it, and eagerly want to know the mysteries of the universe. But I only have one person, time I really don't have enough energy, so I want to find someone to help me find the "Tao" between heaven and earth, the mystery between the universe. I see that the name of Taoism is the word "Tao", and it also talks about the "Tao" between the universe ', the mystery between heaven and earth, so I have the idea of ​​asking Taoism to find the "Tao" for me. I don't know if Taoism can help me complete this journey of finding the "Tao" for me, and find the way of the universe for me. The mystery of space..." Yang Reform kept flickering, preparing to let this guy, Taoism, be his own "Royal Academy of Sciences". These guys have a very high reputation among the people. The truth, I guess, is more convincing than what the emperor said with imperial edicts.

Hearing the emperor's great wish, Zhang Xianyong was dumbfounded. He was just a stickler for fooling the emperor, the court, and the common people all over the world. Now, the emperor asked himself to really do this thing of finding the mysteries of the universe. This, I have to say, Li Gui also has a time to become Li Kui!

"...Forgive me, Your Majesty. It's not Xiaodao who doesn't want it. It's really... Xiaodao's ability is effective. He must be the person who can complete this kind of exploration of the mysteries between heaven and earth!"
