Chapter 1414 Yin and Yang in the Lake
Tianchi is like an emerald embedded in the Tianshan Mountains.Fan Jiannan and others followed Wu Nanming on foot, through a deep canyon, and climbed up steep stairs, with shades of trees behind them.When I came to the poolside of Tianchi, everything felt so novel.The green gem-like mountain is shaped like a crouching tiger, and the forest is towering.The turquoise Tianchi water is as calm as a mirror.

The shape of the lake is like a gourd.Standing on the edge of Tianchi Lake and looking at Tianchi Lake, the lake water is blue, which is the same color as the blue sky. It is really the same color as sky and water.Looking at the Bogda Mountain in the distance, there are many mountains and mountains, which is very majestic.As the speedboat is speeding on the lake, the lake is full of waves.There is a scenic spot beside Tianchi called Dinghaishenzhen, and there is a stele with the historical allusion of Dinghaishenzhen.There is a tree next to the stele, surrounded by iron fences.

However, Fan Jiannan and others were not interested in this.Fan Jiannan was interested in why Wu Nanming had to come here before sunset.

Standing on the edge of Tianchi Lake and looking at Tianchi Lake, the lake water is blue, which is the same color as the blue sky. It is really the same color as sky and water.Looking at the Bogda Mountain in the distance, there are many mountains and mountains, which is very majestic.But other than that, Fan Jiannan didn't feel that there was anything wrong, it was just a beautiful place.

It wasn't until Wu Nanming walked up to a boulder by the lake that Fan Jiannan felt something different.

Originally, the lake water was blue, which was consistent with the color of the sky, and the flowing water caused the lake water to fluctuate.The still blue sky, white clouds, green slopes, and moving lake water constitute an exquisite natural beauty.The water doesn't feel like it's flowing, and you can vaguely see the reflection of the hillside.But after a while, the color of the sky began to change, and it turned out to be green, lighter than the color of the lake.

Suddenly everything is green, green sky, green trees, green grass, green mountains, green water, giving people a feeling of mystery.

Fan Jiannan was slightly startled, "This is..."

"Don't talk, just observe and feel carefully." Wu Nanming said slowly, "This is a subtle change in the magnetic field, which attracts the minerals in the water. It causes the change in the refraction of light after it enters the water. Pay attention to this change, and you can find out from it The most primitive secret of Tianchi."

After a moment of silence, Fan Jiannan still spoke. "What the hell is this?" Fan Jiannan couldn't help asking suspiciously.

"What is it, haven't you already seen it?" Wu Nanming said slowly.

"This water, this mountain, and even this sky have an indescribable feeling." Fan Jiannan frowned, "This is a pure aura of gold. Could it be that this entire mountain is a mine?"

"No, it's because the location of the entire mountain is at the gold node among the five elements. The west belongs to gold and its color is white. Therefore, the Queen Mother of the West in Taoist legends is the elite of the white tiger in the west. Even many Taoist statues except for the positive figures There is another version of the statue, which is based on the white tiger as the original shape of the Queen Mother." Wu Nanming said slowly.

"White tiger? Then the Queen Mother of the West has become a tigress?" Fan Jiannan couldn't help laughing.

"Brother Fan, you don't know that." Fatty Zhang coquettishly said, "The Queen Mother of the West is actually a tigress. Regarding the early image of the Queen Mother of the West, the "Shan Hai Jing" said that she is Zai Sheng, tiger teeth, leopard tail, They live in caves, and there are three green birds feeding for the Queen Mother of the West."

"Yes. The Queen Mother of the West is the most primitive goddess in Kunlun mythology, so she is a very important god in the Chinese mythology system. Belief in her has been formed during the Warring States Period. The Han Dynasty is the peak period of the belief in the Queen Mother of the West. As the largest in the culture of the Han Dynasty The most popular cultural belief, it was not until the Buddhist culture became more prosperous in China that the belief in Queen Mother of the West gradually faded. Before that, it was the most solid belief in the Chinese spiritual world for four to five hundred years. It is also the first in Chinese history to be established on a large scale and A god that has been popular for a long time and has the nature of folk religious worship. Everything related to her is related to longevity." Wu Nanming smiled and said, "But I bring you to see this is not the only reason. "

"Is there any other reason?" Fan Jiannan frowned as he looked at the blue and green water.

Wu Nanming said slowly, "The surface of the water contains clues to the twelfth floor of the five cities of Kunlun."

"What? In the water?" Fan Jiannan asked in astonishment.

"It's not in the water, it's on the surface of the water." Wu Nanming said slowly, "It is said that not everyone can go up the Kunlun Mountain. They must be guided, and this guide is the Tianchi Lake. That's why many myths and legends spread that the Queen Mother of the West is here. Fairy of the Yaochi Assembly."

"So that's how it is." Fan Jiannan sighed, "I didn't see anything. I just think the water is very comfortable to look at, that's all. Why don't you take a look at it slowly. Fatty, come here!"

"Hey!" Fatty Zhang quickly responded.

"Hurry up and ask your sister-in-law to give you the camera and take a photo of the two of us." Fan Jiannan laughed and walked to Feng Yuan's side.Feng Yuan himself was a reporter, and his photography skills are also good, and the equipment in his hand is even more high-end.At this time, he was shooting non-stop at Tianchi.

Hearing what Fan Jiannan said, he immediately agreed and pushed the camera in his hand to Fatty Zhang. "Little fat man, take a better picture. I'll treat you to something delicious later." Feng Yuan said with a smile.

Wu Nanming had no choice but to let him go when he met someone like Fan Jiannan who was not upright.Staring at the lake alone in a daze.

After Fatty Zhang took a few photos of Feng Yuan and Fan Jiannan, he immediately clamored to take one too.The accompanying Long Ge was also a disrespectful old man, making a fuss with them.

In desperation, Feng Yuan had no choice but to take a photo of each of them.When it was Fatty Zhang's turn, this guy was very demanding, "Ma'am, take a better picture of me. By the way, there is also the lake behind this, so I must get it. Let me stand in front of the blue lake, It embodies noble melancholy and elegance, a kind of distinguished and independent temperament. A little bit of Picasso's blue period melancholy would be nice."

Feng Yuan was so angry that he almost smashed the camera on his face, "Why don't you come and take a picture? I'm taking a picture, do you think it's plastic surgery? Just your bun face, no matter how you look at it, you feel happy, the sun is too late, you still want to It's melancholy. Show me your melancholy expression? Huh!!?" ​​Feng Yuan was taken aback suddenly.

"What's the matter?" Fan Jiannan turned around to look at Fatty Zhang, nodded to Feng Yuan, "I don't see any depression on his face, but it is true. After all, you say that, everyone is depressed."

"Don't make trouble." Feng Yuan blocked him with his hands and took a few steps forward.

Fatty Zhang immediately posed in a coordinated manner.

Unexpectedly, Feng Yuan also blocked him, "Don't make trouble."

Fatty Zhang is even more depressed now, "What are you doing? After a long time, why don't you take pictures of me? When will it be my turn? Your boss and wife have already taken pictures, so my buddy doesn't have the right to take pictures?"

"Hey, Jiannan, come and see! What is that?" Feng Yuan quickly handed the camera to Fan Jiannan.

Fan Jiannan asked suspiciously, "What did you capture?"

"No, look at the water surface!" Feng Yuan held up the camera and said, "Look at the camera!"

Fan Jiannan asked inexplicably, "Is there a difference between looking in the camera and looking with the naked eye?" He tried to hold up the camera to look, but the expression on his face was stunned.

"Did you see it?" Feng Yuan asked a little nervously.

"Look... I see it." Fan Jiannan put down the camera and stared at the lake again. It was still the same, the lake was as flat as a mirror.But what he saw in the camera was a little different. The color of the lake and the rocks on the shore seemed to change a bit, and this change reflected a kind of hazy ripple.This kind of ripple seems to be invisible to the naked eye and can only be seen in the camera.

Fan Jiannan raised the camera and put it down again, repeating this several times.Only then can I be sure that it is definitely not a problem with my eyes, nor is it an illusion caused by different angles.He immediately greeted Wu Nanming, "Mr. Wu, come quickly, I found something!"

"Found?" Wu Nanming frowned.He really couldn't figure it out, he was in a daze for a long time and didn't find anything.This guy Fan Jiannan took pictures with his girlfriend, chatted with Fatty Zhang and Long Ge and spanked each other.How could he discover something?

After taking Feng Yuan's camera and looking at the lake, his expression suddenly became very exciting.First he was stunned, then he frowned and thought hard.

"What's going on here? Why is the color of the lake surface different in the camera?" Fan Jiannan frowned, "And what do those weird color differences mean? Is this what you were looking for just now? Some kind of map Or a road sign?"

Wu Nanming didn't answer either, and was silent for a long time.Long Ge finally took the camera and looked at the lake, thought for a moment and said, "This is indeed weird, but I think there should be a reasonable explanation for this thing. Your camera is very good, and it is equipped with a good lens. And this lens has a coating on it."

"Yeah, so what? Many high-end SLR cameras have this kind of coated lens." Feng Yuan frowned.

Long Ge said with a smile, "The imaging principle of any camera is derived from the pinhole imaging. The most indispensable point in the pinhole imaging principle is the light source. And the lens on the camera is composed of a piece of lens. The essence of the lens is It is glass, so light must be refracted when it passes through the glass.

Since each mirror has two reflective surfaces, the more mirrors there are in a lens, the more reflections and refractions light will have to enter the lens.So this phenomenon will lead to two problems, one is that the light passing through the lens cannot reach the imaging medium 100%, and the other is that the light is reflected and refracted multiple times in the lens to produce what we call glare.

Lens coating is to reduce this reflection and filter out this reflected light.But this coating will filter out some invisible light in nature. "

"Invisible light?" Fan Jiannan was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, in fact, the light that our naked eyes can see is only a small part of the spectrum. Some light cannot be recognized by the naked eye, but it does exist widely in nature. So there is a difference between what we see through the camera and what we see with the naked eye. .” Long Ge explained.

"That is to say, after filtering out some disturbing light, the scenery in the camera is actually real." Fan Jiannan thought for a while. "This means that there is indeed a certain pattern on the lake, but when we see it with the naked eye, it is due to some kind of interfering light. It is not easy for us to see it clearly. But after passing through the camera, it is clearly displayed."

"Theoretically, it should be so." Long Ge nodded. "But what are these light changes? Do you know?"

Wu Nanming nodded and said, "This is the purpose of our coming here. Unexpectedly, what is recorded in the ancient books is true. Before the sun sets, the water surface will reveal the location of the twelfth floor of the five cities on Kunlun Mountain. This is a An ancient road map. This map should be set at the bottom of the lake by some means, and only when the sun shines at a certain time in the afternoon at a specific angle can the map on the bottom of the lake be projected onto the lake."

"This involves a lot of optical principles." Fan Jiannan frowned, "Would the ancients be so smart?"

"Jiannan, don't underestimate the ancients. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, the Mohists discovered the principle of small hole imaging. At the same time, they also proposed the concept of mechanics and the simple concept of time and space. This was unimaginable at that time. Ancient times The Chinese people were once the most intelligent and technologically advanced nation in the world." Long Ge said solemnly.

"But we can't see anything from this figure." Feng Yuan said strangely, "It just looks like the lake has two different colors. It doesn't look like any realistic figure."

Wu Nanming nodded and said, "This is the key. Except for people in the art world, if you are an ordinary person, even if you see it, you don't know the meaning."

Fan Jiannan frowned slightly, and immediately excitedly said, "I know, I know. The light and shade of the light are scattered, representing Yin and Yang. Bright things are Yang, and dark things are Yin. Yin and Yang have another meaning in ancient China. Mountain The south of the water and the north of the water are called yang because they can be exposed to direct sunlight. Similarly, the north of the mountain and the south of the water are called yin because they cannot be illuminated by the sun. This is why these two colors are used as logo."

"In other words, there are these zigzag and meandering lines, which indicate where to go. After determining the direction and direction, isn't it the oldest and original map?" Long Ge was slightly surprised.

Wu Nanming nodded and said, "It's ashamed to say, if it were me, I'm afraid I might not realize this by sitting here for a month. It's really been a waste of living for so many years."

Long Ge cupped his hands and said, "Senior, you are self-effacing. How can our little cleverness compare to Mr. Wu's great wisdom and great wisdom. Just like Zhuangzi said, small knowledge is not as good as big knowledge, and young years are not as good as big ones."

Fan Jiannan said, "Okay, stop flattering each other here and think about what to do. Although we can see this scene with the camera, we can't take a picture of it. Because what we take is what we see with our naked eyes. It's the same."

"So, have you written it down?" Long Ge looked at him and said.Long Ge also knew that Fan Jiannan had a superb memory.

"I remember it, but I remember it. How about I draw this figure completely when I go back?" Fan Jiannan thought for a while.

Wu Nanming nodded and said, "Okay. This is indeed the best way."
