Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 2113 Flower Controversy (21)

The idea of ​​the Indians is to divide the human settlements into four islands or four continents. The continents are all centered on Mount Sumeru and arranged in four directions.

However, the real world was not as they imagined, which can be seen from the maps drawn by the navigators. There is a world map hanging in Nick's room, and the marked places on it are all places he has been to. Cao Xi is standing in front of this map at this moment, as if admiring it.

Intellectuals like Juren still have a certain concept of the "world". He knows Japan, Ryukyu, Malaysia, Persia, and the Western Regions. Unlike rural folks, their world is limited to their lives. But even Juren, or sailors, the world map they draw is still centered on China, and the map they draw is not accurate.

During the Qianlong period, Aixinjueluo Hongli also organized a large-scale map survey to clarify the boundaries of the Qing Dynasty. This is not his personal initiative. Kangxi and Yongzheng also surveyed and mapped, which is very different from the Ming Dynasty's strict distinction between Yi and Xia.

After admiring Nick's map, Cao Xi began to visit Nick's room again. As a temporary residence, the furnishings inside are very simple, only a bed, a chair, a table, and a wooden coat rack , in addition to that is the suitcase that has not had time to open.

Nick is ready to leave at any time to continue his next journey, and he has no intention of staying in one place for a long time.

Cao Xi stared at his suitcase and walked back and forth several times, as if he really wanted to open it.

"What do you want, Cao Zuoling." Nick asked in blunt Mandarin.

Cao Xi looked at Nick with some surprise.

"I'm learning Chinese." Nick pointed to the documents on the table, but Cao Xi was not interested.

"Do you remember the temple we went to last time?" Cao Xi asked.

Nick suddenly remembered the statues of ghosts and gods guarding the gate of the temple with their eyes smeared with animal blood, and nodded.

"Liu Zongbing interrogated a list of conspirators." Cao Xi suddenly paused inexplicably when he said this, and then he said, "But he encountered an accident on the way back, the ship sank, and the people on board All died, and the list on him disappeared."

Nick became alert.

"Whose name do you think is on that list?" Cao Xi really asked.

Nick had felt like he was in trouble from the moment he found the note in the bedroom, and now the sense of crisis was even stronger.

The Chinese seem to have magical powers to change the pearls inside the box when it is sealed. Could it be that someone stuffed the note with the white lotus flower into his room?

"I don't know, sir," said Nick stiffly.

"Someone saw you contacting people from the East India Company, what are you plotting?" Cao Xi asked again.

"A business matter."

"I can find him to confront." Cao Xi said unwillingly.

"Are you suspicious of me?" Nick asked.

"Tell me, where did you get that note?"

"I can't answer your question."

"Are you protecting your comrades?"

"One morning, when I woke up, the note was on the floor next to the bed. I picked it up and handed it to the admiral." Because of some anxiety, Nick's official language became more jerky.

Cao Xi obviously didn't believe what Nick said.

"It's true," Nick said hastily.

Cao Xi stared at Nick with scrutiny for a long time, and then said, "You are the benefactor of the admiral and the lady, so I am so polite to you, but you don't want to toast or eat fine wine, how did that note come from?" ?”

Nick's breathing became short of breath. Cao Xi looked into Nick's eyes intently, then clasped his fists together, said "offended", and then let the soldiers at the door enter Nick's room to search.

As soon as the two soldiers came in, they began to rummage through the boxes, even under the bed. Of course, Nick's luggage was also forcibly opened. After a thorough inspection, they found Nick's picture album and handed it to Cao Xi.

Cao Xi flipped through the album for a while, then looked up at Nick.

"Are you making a map?"

"No!" Nick said immediately.

Cao Xi ignored what Nick said at all, and directly ordered someone to take Nick away.

"You have no right to do that!" Nick struggled to yell after being grabbed by the arms by two men.

Cao Xi walked out of Nick's room directly.

When they came to the yard, the priest and servants were also there, but they did not prevent Cao Xi from taking Nick away.

"At least tell me what my crime is!" Nick yelled.

Cao Xi glared at him.

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a soft hat suddenly appeared. Nick had seen this man at the admiral's house.

He walked to Cao Xi's side and whispered something in his ear, and Cao Xi ordered the two soldiers to loosen Nixon.

"The two of you are watching him here." After Cao Xi finished speaking, he left the hospital with a large group of people, while Nick was "invited" by two soldiers to return to his room and put under house arrest.

Nick looked at the messy room and couldn't calm down for a long time.

He thanked Juren for the "story" he had told him before. Even though Nick was a foreigner, he had no "reputation" and was involved in a treason case, so he was likely to be tortured.

Someone once specially compiled an almanac to show Buddhists the torture in hell. For a long time, this collection of rough engravings was regarded by Europeans as the epitome of Chinese torture until Ma Li It was only after Johnson translated the captions of the prints into English that he overcame European prejudices.

In the engravings, the procedure of Yan Wangye's trial is almost the same as in real life, only the form of punishment is different.

A person who fulfills the canon, after many years of meditation and practice, can suppress his inner desires and enter the realm of a saint, he will also be rewarded by the way of heaven. In the Buddha Kingdom, besides fairies, there are all kinds of happiness that people can feel. The bodies of the saints are extremely pure, without stains, and exude a wonderful fragrance. Their faces are beautiful, and any affection will not disturb them. They have a heart full of wisdom, so they are free from worries, anger, and diseases. Eternal youth is their creation. They have been meditating in front of lotus flowers and under the Vajrayana tree.

They looked up, and the blossoming Buddha Lishetra flowers were floating down from the sky, like bursts of fragrant rain. This was the scene of the Paradise of Paradise, which is also known as the Pure Land of Western Paradise.

Nick looked back at the door. The priest was standing outside the door. Although the hospital was his place, he couldn't enter Nick's room because of the guard at the door.

It may be that the commotion outside disturbed the sleeping baby, and he began to cry loudly.

"Do you think he will regret it? Give that note to the admiral?" Georgiana asked Bonaparte.

Bonaparte stared at the ceiling, as if he was in deep thought, or lost in some kind of memory.

Georgiana turned to the next page, which was almost entirely filled with illustrations, depicting a very lively scene, a salute team was walking through the streets of Guangzhou.

The difference from Nick’s previous description is that when the women on the second floor looked down at the passing queue downstairs, the men downstairs looked up at the women upstairs, as if wishing they could smile at them.

However, this is impossible to happen, that is the storyline of Jin Ping Meili. When Pan Jinlian opened the window to dry clothes, the bamboo pole accidentally hit the head of Ximen Daguan, and he held his painful head, Looking up angrily, he happened to see Pan Jinlian smiling and apologizing to him.

It is impolite to smile at strange men, so that these women have serious faces and look like Buddhas in temples.

Even if there were jokers, they covered their faces with round fans and whispered to their companions. The men downstairs not only couldn’t see, but also couldn’t hear them. What else could they do except imagine what they were talking about?
