Chapter 47 third quarter

"Please prepare the inkstone and ink..." It was Seimei who said this. "Mo?" Shi Lai asked. "Yes. By the way, prepare some water and a screen..." After the inkstone and ink were delivered, Seimei solemnly began to grind the ink.After sharpening it, he took out a pen from his pocket. At this time, a silk screen was placed in front of Seimei. Seimei's pen was stained with ink, and he propped up one knee in front of the screen.Seimei first stuck the pen tip to the left side of the screen, and then moved it to the right.From left to right.As if dividing the screen into two, Seimei drew a line from left to right.

After putting down his pen, Seimei changed the direction of the screen on the narrow corridor so that everyone could see it. "What is this?" Zhongping asked. "It's the sea." Seimei replied. Hearing what Seimei said, it was really good. The horizontal line separating the screen into the upper and lower parts could indeed be regarded as the sea. Qingming stretched his right hand into his bosom again, took out a folding fan, opened half of it, and gently fanned it from the side. "What are you doing again?" Zhongping asked again. "The wind is blowing." Qingming murmured, half-answering.

"The waves are coming..." After Qingming finished speaking, the horizontal line on the screen began to shake up and down. "The wind is getting stronger..." Qingming accelerated the fanning speed. "The waves are getting higher..." The waves on the screen grew higher. What was originally a simple horizontal line has now formed a sea, with white waves surging on the screen. "The waves will get higher and higher..." Seimei fanned his folding fan vigorously.The waves were getting higher and higher, and the front wave urged the back wave, and the spray began to splash.

The waves splashed outside the screen. "Oh!" "It's so cold!" Near the screen, someone reached out and pressed his cheek, shrinking back. A wave came over.With a bang, waves overflowed from the screen. After the first wave overflowed, successive waves also overflowed from the screen, and finally, the sea water flowed from the screen like a waterfall. "Oh!" "This……" The left minister Shilai, the right minister Shifu and Zhongping all stood up. "Qing, Qingming!" Boya also stood up. The emperor, who was inside the imperial curtain, also stood up.

The hall is filled with sea water, which not only flows into the narrow slatted corridor, but also flows down the wooden steps to the courtyard. Qingming and Daoman were the only ones sitting on the narrow corridor with Wenfeng motionless. Daoman reached into his bosom with his right hand, took out a plain pottery cup, and placed it on the narrow corridor full of sea water. The sea water didn't wash away the cup, and the cup stood firmly. Then, the seawater overflowing in the narrow corridor began to swirl around the cup placed by Michiman. Originally, the water was higher than the sitting Daoman's knees, but now it gradually flowed into the cup.

After a while, the sea level dropped, and when everyone came back to their senses, there was not a single drop of water in Qingliang Hall or the courtyard. The floor and wooden steps that seemed to be flooded with water just now were not only not stained with any water, even the clothes on his body were not soaked. On the narrow slatted corridor, there was only a screen with a horizontal line drawn on it. Seimei sat beside the screen and smiled. There is a cup in front of Daoman's knee, which is filled with water. Daoman raised his cup and offered it to Zhongping respectfully: "Please..."

Zhongping took it tremblingly. "Drink it, please." Daoman said. "Drink? Drink this?" "Yes." Daoman bowed his head in salute, Zhongping glanced at the emperor behind the imperial curtain, and as if desperate, brought the cup to his lips and took a mouthful. As soon as the water was imported, Zhongping suddenly changed his face, and seemed to want to spit it out, but he glanced at the inside of the imperial curtain, and finally swallowed it. "It's so salty!" Zhongping yelled, stretched out his left fist, wiped his mouth, and said, "This is sea water!"
