"Don't you think what you say is too ridiculous?"

Confucian named Li Tong, is the only Confucian student in the village, after His Majesty Li Er vigorously developed the state school and county school, many villages have gradually increased the number of poor students, in Yunling Village Li Tong is one of the examples.

The villagers of Yunling Village were a little hesitant when they heard Li Tong's words, after all, Li Tong was the most learned person in their village.

Jiang Wei glanced at him and nodded lightly,

"I don't know what to call it?"

Li Tong arched his hand neither humbly nor arrogantly,

"Learn talent in Xia Li Tongzi."

"Ruoniang, go buy some saltpeter." Jiang Wei took out the last fifteen coins from his pocket, took out five coins from them, handed them to Ruoniang, and instructed, "Grandpa Li should have saltpeter." ”

Grandpa Li is a villager in the village, but he is a langzhong, and he usually travels ten miles and eight towns to treat people. And saltpeter, as a medicinal material, should be available in some Langzhong in ordinary times. Jiang Wei thought about it, according to the current twelve yuan for a bucket of rice, five yuan should be able to buy a lot of saltpeter.

Jiang Ruoniang nodded, took the money and trotted away.

The villagers and Li Tong looked at Jiang Wei's actions, full of doubts. At this time, I saw Jiang Wei put his fingers into the basin of his face to feel the temperature in the water.

Well, it's about 10 degrees. Jiang Wei nodded with satisfaction.

"Brother Xuecai, whether it's ridiculous or not is not up to me, and it's not up to you to have the final say, please wait a moment. In a moment, I will demonstrate to you the method of turning water into ice. ”

As soon as the words fell, they exclaimed one by one, knowing that it is now July into the summer, and the weather in Guanzhong has always been relatively dry, the highest temperature in this season is as high as about 35 degrees, although it is still only cool in the morning, there is a slight cool breeze. But why is the temperature about 27 degrees Celsius?

And at such a temperature, the young man in front of him dared to say that water turned into ice? Not only did the villagers widen their eyes in disbelief, but even Li Tong shook his head in annoyance, as if his IQ had been insulted like never before.

"Ridiculous, how ridiculous. Summer is yang, winter is yin. There is no ice in summer, and only when the weather is cold in winter, it will freeze, which is the common sense of yin and yang transformation of all things in heaven and earth. As you say, if the summer turns into ice, isn't it the reversal of yin and yang, and the imbalance of all things? ”

Looking at Li Tong's angry speech, Jiang Wei just smiled faintly. At this time, I happened to see Ruoniang sweating profusely and walking with a sack. Jiang Wei hurriedly took the sack, opened it and saw that it was saltpeter, about ten catties.

"Whether yin and yang are reversed, this is simple, just try it."

"Well, I'd like to see how you pretend to be a ghost."

Li Tong was already angry at this time and didn't want to be polite at all, only to see Jiang Wei stand up and pick up a bowl of saltpeter. When Ruoniang saw it, she picked up the basin and put it on the stone squat, and then put the saltpeter in the bowl into it.

Li Tong hurriedly stepped forward to the water basin, and many villagers also rushed up. Instead, Jiang Wei withdrew from the crowd. He got tired of playing with this little thing like saltpeter ice when he was a junior high school student, and there was nothing surprising about it.

As for deception? In the eyes of these ancients, is there a difference between this knowledge of chemistry and immortal arts?

After a moment, I saw Ruoniang get out of the crowd, holding Jiang Wei's arm excitedly and shouting,

"Brother, it's frozen, the water is really frozen. Brother quickly teach Ruoniang, Ruoniang also has to learn. ”

Jiang Wei smiled and touched Ruoniang's little head,

"As long as you put saltpeter in the water, it will naturally become ice."

Ruoniang blinked, wrinkling her beautiful little nose,

"Brother, what about the jumping god?"

Jiang Wei shook his head,

"What about the Peachwood Sword? And what about the practice of opening the altar? What about it? ”

Jiang Wei couldn't help laughing, pinched Ruoniang's wrinkled little nose,

"Those are the ones who pretend to be deceitful."

"But brother, why does saltpeter turn into ice when put in water?"

Jiang Wei wanted to ask very much, but he just didn't want to explain so he said a panic of immortal magic,

"Brother will tell you this later."

At this time, all the villagers also watched the basin of ice water. The unbelievers had the courage to reach in and touch the ice, and when they felt the cold feeling, they couldn't help but marvel one by one.

In the crowd, Li Tong seemed to have lost his soul, his eyes were numb and squeezed out of the crowd, when the water slowly turned into ice, the impact was too great for him, and he suddenly began to doubt life. He walked away in despair, muttering to himself,

"Yin and yang are reversed, and water turns into ice. Yin and yang are reversed, and water turns into ice. ”

He walked to the river, looked at the rising sun in the sky, and his heart was confused. Remembering what I had learned, I began to become skeptical.

Zi said: Zi is silent, and the strange force is confused. But what did I just see? What is immortality? What is true? What is fake? Am I really learning correctly? ”

Li Tong sighed, packed his things, and returned to the county school. On this day, he knelt at the desk, but he didn't listen to the master's words, and he still didn't come back to his senses until the end of school.

The master also noticed Li Tong's abnormality and stopped him.

"Xuecai, as a teacher, if you lose your soul and your face is confused, why is it?"

Li Tong was ashamed to give up his hand,

"Master, the student has something unclear."

"Oh!" Master Fushu smiled, "What's wrong? ”

The picture of water turning into ice resurfaced in his memory, Li Tong sighed and bowed his hand respectfully,

"Master, the disciple saw a young man today, claiming to be a disciple of the immortal family, and the art of the immortal family he learned can be passed on to all the people in the world, and can make the world unable to do so. The students reprimanded him and bewitched the crowd. However, the young man was in front of the students, making ice out of water, and he was divine. Therefore, the students are uncertain and confused. ”

When the master heard this, he almost tore off a handful of his beard.

"This ......"

Li Tong is his protégé, and the master knows that Li Tong is an extremely serious and meticulous person, and such a person will not lie and deceive himself. So even if he didn't believe this, but he believed what Li Tong said, the master thought about it in a low voice,

"Tell me about it."

Li Tong thought about it,

"Master, can there be saltpeter?"

Half an hour later.

The master and Li Tong looked at the water in the basin that was gradually frozen, and the two of them looked up at the sun outside the door, this 35-degree hot day, watching the basin freeze a little bit, both of them had doubts at this time whether what they had learned was really correct? Are there really gods in this world? What exactly is Immortal Arts? If there are no immortals? What's going on right now?

Think a little deeper,

What am I born for?

And who am I?

What is the purpose of my existence?
