The Shocking and Extraordinary Romance of the Great Sage

Yu Zhengnan bowed deeply and said:"Thank you, sir, for enlightening the younger generation. I call you Yu Zhengnan. I'm afraid this is God's will. Zhengnan, Zhengnan, I just want to create many poor people." Here comes the strange tool that points the direction."

Guo Lao said:"It's not due south! In fact, the magnetic pointer is not pointing due south. It was the Song Dynasty. During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a scholar named Shen Kuo who created a guide for the people. He valued the instrument very much. After many verifications, he confirmed that the magnetic needle does not point due south, but slightly east. All compass needles point due south and slightly east."

After hearing this, Yu Sheng was surprised, knelt down and bowed:" The villain bows to the immortal! Two days ago, Wan Sheng met an old fortune teller. During the chat, he got involved with the old man. When the fortune teller heard that the old man was riding a donkey backwards, he told me the real situation and congratulated me on my good luck in meeting the gods. It turned out that , The boss is the Taoist immortal master Zhang Guolao who rode a donkey upside down and walked into the world to save people in distress." Guo Lao said:"Wrong! You have the wrong person! There is not only one person in the world who rides a donkey upside down! There are many! There are many! I am. I am not a god or immortal! I am an old ghost, a soul, and an old ghost who has returned to the world! I have died countless times! But I can never die. The Lord of Hell will not take him in! What can I do?! I can only rely on him. In the human world, if you complete unfinished good deeds, you will be able to pass. Then the King of Hell will take you in." Yu Sheng said:"Senior taught me the magic weapon of making a compass to late students, which is also a feat of good deeds. Now, the difficulty lies in Grinding a large piece of magnet into a long handle is a hundred times more troublesome, and it is easy to break and scrap, or lose the magnetism. What should I do?"

Guo Lao said:"Speaking of upwards! It is expensive, time-consuming and labor-intensive to make it like this. Modern manufacturing is a big problem The master craftsman has discovered a secret that is ten thousand times more miraculous."

Yu Sheng asked in surprise:"What is the secret method?!"

Guo Lao said:"A contemporary expert discovered that you can use iron sheets and fine iron needles to rub the magnet lightly. Wipe it, the iron needle and the iron piece are magnetic. Since then, the compass needle has been produced. Some people place the steel piece and steel needle in a magnet environment. After a long time, the steel piece and steel needle become a magnetic steel piece and a magnetic steel needle. This kind of trial production will open the door to convenience and save a lot for you to make guide fish, guide turtles and other treasures." After that, Guo Lao said goodbye and left.

Later, when Yu Sheng read a book, he learned that Shen Kuo was a great inventor who invented the art of gap product and the art of converging circles. In addition to discovering the magnetic declination, he also improved the armillary sphere and revealed the phenomenon of resonance.

*************************************

After half a year, Yu Zhengnan produced a batch of guide turtles, guide fish, guide ducks, etc. Some were sold at low prices to seaside fishermen in urgent need, and a few were given to relatives and friends. They were all well received, and I am grateful.

Fishermen on the seaside praise the guide as a magical guide that can help them go fishing when there are wind, rain, fog and fog. BiSiNan is sensitive, lightweight, accurate, and easy to carry.

Zhang Guolao rode his donkey upside down and arrived at Yujia Pier. He heard the fishermen talking about the strange things created in Zhengnan, and they all praised his creation for bringing the gospel and ensuring peace.

Guo Lao was very pleased after hearing this, and went to see Yu Sheng's creations. As expected, they were exquisitely crafted, and every compass was admirable. Yu Zhengnan kowtowed to Zhang Guolao and invited his master to drink and dine.

After that, Guo Lao taught earnestly and said:"There is a miraculous thing created by nature! You are not wrong about the person." Yu Sheng said:"It all depends on the master's guidance. Otherwise, you will be like a mud cow drowning in the sea and achieve nothing."

Guo Lao said:"They are all the same. God's will is half, and the individual is half. You must use your own half to win half of God's will, and then everything will be complete. In the Song Dynasty, magnetized steel needles are even more magical! I found that many experts today use magnetized steel needles. Create a more wonderful compass, called a compass, it is really a compass!"

Yu Zhengnan was fascinated by what he heard and asked urgently:"Master, how is that created?" Guo Lao said:"I heard that, let's go and take a closer look.. It turns out that a magnetized steel needle is used, and the magnetic steel needle is mounted on a rotatable shaft. With the secret action of the earth's magnetism, it can indicate the direction very dexterously, which is more convenient than objects such as guide fish and guide turtles."Yu Zhengnan said:"Senior Duo Meng pointed out Mingjin, and I decided to give it a try."

Zhang Guolao said:"There is a famous saying in"Mengxi Bi Tan":"The Fang family uses magnets to sharpen their needles, and then they can guide." It is often slightly to the east, not completely south. As can be seen from the above, if the pointer goes a little bit to the west, it is due south. Most people often think that that little bit can be ignored, and it is not a good general direction. There are many countries in the big world. Outside the Song Dynasty, There are many other countries. However, we, the descendants of Yan and Huang in China, are extremely smart and intelligent. The commander first discovered the compass, and it has already been used in navigation, geography, mining, astronomy, military warfare, and travel in all directions. This is a great blessing! Holy creation! It can be described as miraculous and wonderful."

After Zhang Guolao said this, he rode his donkey backwards and said goodbye to life.

He beat the fishing drum and sang excitedly:

"Study with sincerity and diligence, and don't be lazy in the middle."

Good wisdom dispels foolishness in Jiuzhou, and good deeds will last forever.

When faced with difficulties, proceed with an open mind, do not be ashamed to ask questions, and do not be complacent.

Ignorant people are mediocre people who are often selfish and greedy.

There are no straight roads in the world, and we often take detours to overcome difficulties.

The more knowledge you have, the more wisdom you have, you can achieve great things; the sea is wide and the river is deep, and a big ship can sail.

A stupid person will become wise if he practices diligently, and a stupid bird will fly out of the forest first.

God's will and man's will come true, and wisdom given to others can reach heaven.
