Chapter 45 The forty-fourth rare total solar eclipse

In those few days, Maoshan, where Jie Chen lived, suddenly had many benefactors.Jie Chen knew most of these people, most of them were residents of Miao Town at the foot of the mountain, but they were rarely seen going up the mountain on weekdays, and Jie Chen didn't know why they came. Later, Junior Brother Jie Ao told Jie Chen that there will be a solar eclipse in a few days.These benefactors may feel that they can see more clearly when they go to the mountain, so they go into the mountain in advance to step on the spot. When Junior Brother Jie Ao said it, Jie Chen didn't pay much attention to it, because although solar eclipses don't happen often, they can always be seen once or twice every few years.Jie Chen thought that since he was a child, he had seen it several times, and he thought it was nothing special this time.As for the benefactors who ran into the mountains to observe, Jie Chen also felt that it was a bit of a fuss. After all, in remote mountainous areas without industry like Miao Town, the air quality has always been excellent. No matter where you observe, there should be no problem with the line of sight. There is no need to run into the mountains on purpose.

However, Junior Brother Jie Ao said that this solar eclipse is different from the previous ones. First of all, the observation of this solar eclipse in Maoshan is very effective, and you can see a complete total solar eclipse, which is rarely seen before. .Second, it lasted for a very long time. It is said to be the longest solar eclipse in this century. If you want to see a solar eclipse of similar duration, it may take until the next century. Jieao also said that even with the development of medical science and technology, we all live to the age when we can see the solar eclipse again at the age of more than one hundred. I am afraid that our old eyes will be dim, and we dare not look directly at the light, so everyone must seize the opportunity this time .

Jie Chen was a little moved by Jie Ao's words, calculated the time of the solar eclipse, and it seemed that there was nothing to do, thinking that since he was idle anyway, he might as well pay attention to this rare astronomical phenomenon. In those few days, Junior Brother Jie Ao made some preparations in advance. He evenly painted the lenses of his glasses with ink, and then wore the glasses to look around in the glare of the sun.Junior Brother Jie Ao has also used this method before. He said that painting the glasses into sunglasses can protect the eyes from the sun's rays. That day when Junior Brother Jie Ao was trying on the glasses, Junior Brother Jie Chi and Jie Chen happened to be by his side. As soon as Junior Brother Jie Ao put on the glasses, they cheered together.

Junior Brother Jie Chen said, Senior Brother Jie Ao looks so handsome in glasses, he looks like an eminent monk. Junior Brother Jie Ao was very satisfied with the evaluation of the juniors, but later Junior Brother Jie Chi added another sentence, he said, yes, a blind monk who insists on practicing can meet the standards of an eminent monk only in terms of behavior . Regarding the remarks made by the two juniors, Jie Chen has actually been prepared for a long time, because experience tells Jie Chen that in the hearts of Jie Crazy and Jie Chen, bullying a senior is definitely a responsibility that a junior must fulfill, just like praising a junior is also a The obligations that a senior brother must fulfill are the same, and they all belong to the truth.

Knowing that we will also watch the solar eclipse, the benefactors who came to Maoshan agreed that the final observation place would be in the courtyard of the temple. For this reason, Jiechen also wiped all the small stools in the utility room to prevent the benefactors from coming. Too many and no stools to sit on. But on the day when the solar eclipse was about to occur, the sky was very gloomy, and the dark clouds in the sky showed no sign of dissipating. Although the solar eclipse may not be observed, many of the benefactors who agreed to go up the mountain before, but in the end what everyone can see is when the solar eclipse occurs, the whole sky is dark, and the sun is surrounded by the expected sun. The halo, the magnificent scene, did not happen after all.

I ran to the Internet to search for solar eclipse videos taken by donors from other places. The effect that can only be shot with special equipment made everyone feel the charm of the natural landscape. In those few days, Jie Chi and Jie Chen, the two junior brothers, often mentioned this solar eclipse, thinking that it would take a hundred years to make up for this regret, the two young monks were going crazy. For Jie Chen, who did not see the solar eclipse, he naturally had regrets. Jie Chen also complained about the weather that day. The weather was good for a few days before and after, so why did something go wrong at a critical moment?

However, Jie Chen suddenly thought that, in fact, a few days before this solar eclipse was going to happen, Jie Chen had no interest in it. Quit angry attention.If Junior Brother Jie Ao hadn't mentioned this solar eclipse at the beginning, obviously today's Jie Chen would have no regrets. Quitting anger and thinking about it later, my current disappointment actually comes from the hope I established at the beginning.If we rashly yearn for hopes that are unlikely to be realized, perhaps disappointment is an inevitable result.
