Zhang Haogu was very curious, why did the cotton thread with copper plates hanging in the hands of this old sheep's tongue really burn?

If I hadn't known that he was an old liar from the beginning, I might have believed his tricks by now.

In fact, the reason why this cotton thread is constantly burned by fire is very simple.

The cotton thread used by the old sheep's tongue now was actually manipulated by him.

The cotton thread was soaked in salt brine, which was used to order tofu.

It contains substances such as ****** and magnesium chloride, and although the ancient people did not know the actual names of these substances at that time, they knew that they had such a function early on.

After tying the copper coin with such a thread, the emperor and Du Guiren looked like the cotton thread was alive, but in fact, it was only on the surface of the cotton thread, and the inside of the thread was protected by ****** and magnesium chloride and did not come into contact with the air, so the cotton thread would not be burned off.

Just such a simple trick shocked the emperor and Du Guiren, and it seemed that they had been in the deep palace for a long time, and their brains had become stupid.

Otherwise, after getting sick, they went to the doctor when they were sick, and now they see that a person with strong mana finally comes, and they naturally want to believe him in their hearts.

That's why this old liar has so easily captured their trust.

Du Guiren is even smarter, she not only believes that this lama can spell, but she also hopes to use his hand to get rid of her own trouble, Concubine Qi Niangniang.

She said, "Lama, do you want to tell me whether the person who has cast the curse is a man or a woman?" ”

She is very cunning, the old sheep's tongue has already said that it was made by the people of the harem, so the harem is a eunuch except for a woman, as long as he says that it is a woman, she immediately said in the emperor's ear that this woman is likely to be the closest person around him.

But she was wrong, the old sheep's tongue didn't want her to get her wish, he said lightly: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, this person is neither male nor female, but a eunuch. ”

When the emperor heard this, his heart immediately became uneasy, the eunuchs in this palace often served by his side, if they had bad intentions towards themselves, it would really be impossible to prevent it.

"Hurry up and think of some way, as long as you catch this person who has poisoned the curse, I can make you a national teacher." The emperor was already sick and confused, and he actually listened to the words of a charlatan, and thought about making him a national teacher.

The old sheep's tongue himself also laughed secretly in his heart, but he just pretended to be strict and majestic on the surface.

Suddenly, the old sheep's tongue trembled as if he had gone mad, and his eyes rolled white, and he looked terrible.

"Your Majesty, he ...... What's wrong with him? Du Guiren was so frightened that he shrank into the emperor's arms.

The emperor was also a little puzzled, and he estimated and said, "He may be casting a spell, don't move, and see what happens to him." ”

"Bold thief, you dare to assassinate the saint, how can I spare you today, don't think about running, watch me catch you!" The old sheep's tongue was dancing in that hand, as if he was fighting with a person who could not be seen at all.

The emperor and Du Guiren looked a little hairy, what was he doing?

Suddenly, at this time, the fingers of the old sheep's tongue ignited a flame, and he shouted: "Haha, kill one of you today, in exchange for peace in the world, you can go with peace of mind." ”

Then the flame in his hand was extinguished.

The old sheep's tongue opened his eyes sharply and said: "Long live the lord, the person who cast the poison curse has been killed by me with the supreme mana, you can order to check which father-in-law has just died within an hour, then he is the one who cast the curse." ”

The emperor sent someone to investigate suspiciously, but he didn't expect that as the old sheep's tongue said, there was a little eunuch who had no father and no mother who had just died, and it was said that he died of a sudden illness.

It seems that this lama is really a master of Taoism, and he can actually kill people invisibly, which is really unheard of and unseen.

In fact, this matter is very simple, when the old sheep's tongue entered the palace, he happened to see a little eunuch, his face was sallow, the corners of his eyes were sunken, and his eyes were blank, respectively, he was dying.

I only heard another father-in-law say: "Poor, I have no father, no mother, no relatives, and I have been sick in the palace for more than half a year and have no money for treatment, and I see that this person is about to die." ”

So the old sheep's tongue counted the time and knew that the little eunuch was definitely dead now, so he acted in such a scene of killing people and saving the driver.

But why did his fingers suddenly burst into flames on their own?

Haha, that's easier to say.

When he entered the palace, the old sheep's tongue smeared his hands with medicinal powder, which was composed of three things, namely: camphor, phosphorus and sulfur powder.

When he was yelling, his hands kept rubbing against each other, and the powder would easily burn, so wouldn't he burn his own hands?

Of course not, because he had applied a layer of flour about the same color as his skin before applying it, so the flames could not burn him.

Besides, the old sheep's tongue is not stupid, and when the flames are not big enough, he has already snuffed them out, where is he waiting for them to burn to his hands.

These are all bluffing tricks for him, an old man.

It was so foolish that the emperor and Du Guiren were convinced.

"I really admire the lama's ability, according to you, will my illness be cured in the future?" The emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, the great trouble has been removed, you can rest easy."

"Good, good! There are many rewards for passing on the royal decree. The emperor said happily.

He was originally sick with a heart, and now that he was made by this old liar, he already believed in his heart that he was cured, so now he has nothing to do when he is happy.

Du Guiren was a little annoyed with this red-clothed lama, why was he so ignorant?

If he is willing to help himself, it will be easy to get rid of Concubine Qi, a slut, but now that he has missed this opportunity, I don't know when he will have this opportunity in the future.

She rolled her eyes and came up with a bad idea.

"Your Majesty, since the lama is so capable, why don't we test him with a dumb riddle? How interesting is this, I heard that monks and cultivators will play dumb riddles, and the concubines have not seen it yet. ”

The old sheep's tongue was shocked, what? Playing a pantomime? The dumb riddle between this method is very profound, and he is completely a layman, isn't this time about to be exposed?

He glanced at Zhang Haogu eagerly, expecting him to help say something, but Zhang Haogu shook his head slightly, indicating that this was in the inner courtyard of the palace, where could he intervene, not to mention that he didn't know anything about playing dumb riddles.

Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Du Guiren knew that he had guessed correctly, this lama couldn't play dumb riddles, okay, then she would have a way to clean him up.

Don't look at his high mana, in the inner courtyard of this deep palace, you still have to look at the emperor, as long as the emperor is unhappy, you will have to move your head.

The emperor was in a good mood now and wanted to have fun, so he nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I remember that the abbot of Jiantian Temple, the long-term monk, is very good at playing dumb riddles, so you can summon him to the palace." ”

The emperor said a word, and there were naturally people below who went to find a long-term monk.

The emperor hadn't summoned him for a long time, and the long-term monk immediately sent some silver to his father-in-law to ask what he was looking for this time.
