Swindler!

Song Jiang knew that today he had encountered a group of scammers, who specialized in fooling those superstitious and ignorant people.

This cannot be blamed for the low cultural literacy of the people of the Northern Song Dynasty, thinking that later generations of university professors were all flickered around by small cults, and sometimes being deceived cannot be measured by the amount of knowledge alone, and greed and non-hope will short-circuit people's heads.

At this time, the onlookers all went from disbelief to half-belief, and there were many discussions, and some even came out to let the mage see if he was haunted by demons. Of course, the mage will not waste the great opportunity to cheat money, even coax and scare, just like the doctors of later generations, you will not be saved if you don't go to the operating table.

Song Jianggang wanted to expose the tricks of the liar, and suddenly heard a voice: "Carving insect skills, watch the poor monk Mingxuan relieve everyone's confusion!" ”

I saw a lean monk walk into the circle, put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, the Buddha's light is shining, and the donor Hugh has to confuse the public here and coax innocent people!" ”

Immediately, the crowd quieted down and watched how the monk who came out halfway explained his doubts.

When the liar saw that the boiled duck was about to fly, he hurriedly rescued it, pointed to the monk Mingxuan and said: "You crazy monk is talking nonsense here, just if the bad guy is innocent, you are not afraid of the Buddha's blame?" ”

Ming Xuan clasped his hands together again and said, "The monks don't speak, can the donor show your talisman to the poor monk?" ”

The liar is not giving, not giving is not, in a dilemma, someone suddenly coaxed, the liar was helpless, but he was lucky, so he said loudly: "Real gold is not afraid of fire, show you what can happen!" ”

Ming Xuan picked up the talisman and sniffed it, rubbed it back and forth with his fingers, and then nodded: "Look at these small particles in my hands, they rely on this to fool everyone, this is saltpeter powder." They grind saltpeter into powder, melt it into water, filter it with gauze to remove the slag, and then draw a snake on the paper with a brush dipped in it, and after drying, the saltpeter particles adhere to the paper. Saltpeter is the raw material for making gunpowder, and with it, paper is more likely to catch fire, so the place where the snake is drawn is quickly burned out, and this is how the snake demon you see appears. ”

"Huh!?"

Song Jiang couldn't help but be surprised, there were also chemical experts in the Northern Song Dynasty?

In fact, the main ingredient of saltpeter is potassium nitrate, potassium nitrate is a strong oxidizing agent, which is easy to release oxygen when heated, and oxygen is an accelerant, which can make the paper burn at low temperatures. With potassium nitrate solution, draw a snake on it, and the above phenomenon is prone to appear.

Seeing that the old man was exposed, the liar was anxious, and said angrily: "Don't believe what the crazy monk said, he is the eldest son of Ma Dashan, if he doesn't learn well, he will know that he will be immersed in those useless tricks and can't extricate himself." Ma Dashan decided that he was possessed by demons, so he made him a monk, hoping that Buddhism would drive away demons, but he didn't want demons to remain possessed in him. Now I'm driving away the demon he possessed. ”

After speaking, he took out a piece of white paper, poured out some liquid from a small jar and rubbed it on his hands, then pointed to Ming Xuan's head and said where to run, clenched his fists and said: "The demon is in my hands, everyone look!" ”

After speaking, he slapped it on the white paper, only to see a bloody handprint appear on the paper.

The liar said, "The demon has been crushed into paper by my spell, and it is up to me to destroy it completely." ”

After speaking, he took out a basin with water, put the paper into the basin, and the bloody handprints slowly disappeared again.

The crowd immediately stirred, a little annoyed that the monk had offended the mage, people came to catch demons in Phoenix Town, and they were actually treated like this, what a crazy monk.

Ming Xuan really seemed to be crazy, he laughed and said: "What the donor said is right, you think those strange skills are useless, that is because you are shallow and short-sighted, if there are more people who study this kind of academics, our Great Song will definitely be more powerful." ”

After speaking, he walked over and picked up the basin and smelled it, poured some liquid from the small jar just now, and did it again like a mage, and there was the same phenomenon as just now.

Ming Xuan said: "Everyone looks at this way, everyone has become a mage, and it is so simple to catch ghosts." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the basin and said, "Everyone smells that white vinegar is added to it." ”

Then he picked up the small jar and poured some liquid into the basin, and immediately bubbles appeared, and he said: "There is flour soda for making steamed bread in this small jar, and bubbles appear when the two are mixed." They spray a substance extracted from flowers and plants on white paper in advance, and this substance turns red when it encounters alkali and fades when it encounters vinegar, in fact, it is so simple, but everyone doesn't know it. ”

Song Jiang nodded secretly, it seems that this Mingxuan monk has some real knowledge. Later generations of junior high school chemistry had this knowledge, phenolphthalein turned red when exposed to alkali, did not change color when exposed to acid, neutralized reaction between alkali and acid, and blood handprints were automatically gone.

The liars have nothing to do this time, this monk is too powerful, he simply looks like a magic eye. People scolded the liars, some threw them with things, and the scammers packed up their things and left.

Song Jiang called Zhang Gui and whispered a few words, Zhang Gui nodded and left. People praised Ming Xuan, saying that if it weren't for him, he would have been deceived today, Ming Xuan said to everyone excitedly: "If you want to learn the academic research I have studied, I will definitely teach you." ”

Ming Xuan's advertisement has not finished broadcasting, the crowd has begun to disperse, Ming Xuan hurriedly said: "Don't go, don't go, learn these academics well, it will definitely be a earth-shaking change in the Great Song Dynasty." ”

The more anxious he was, the faster the crowd dispersed, and Ming Xuan's disappointment was self-evident, and the kind of loss that no one recognized, which was understood as the helplessness of not learning and not knowing, made him depressed.

Ming Xuan just wanted to leave, but he heard someone shouting: "Master, please stay!" ”

Song Jiang walked over and said: "Others laugh at me for being too crazy, I laugh at others and can't see through it, the master is in a good realm." ”

When Ming Xuan heard what Song Jiang said, his heart was agitated, and he didn't want to understand that he was actually a person he didn't know. Moreover, this person's words imply Buddha's teachings, and he must not be an ordinary person.

Song Jiang also clasped his hands together and said: "The academic attainments mentioned by the master are not shallow, and we will study each other and develop together in the future." ”

Ming Xuan was overjoyed, a confidant could not be found, today he met it, and said with his hands together: "The poor monk's family name is Ma, and the law name is Ming Xuan, I don't know the donor's surname?" ”

Song Jiang returned the salute and said: "Song Jiang in Xia Yun City." ”

After speaking, Hua Ziwei saw that Ming Xuan did not bow down like other heroes, so she asked, "Haven't you heard of Song Jiang before?" ”

Ming Xuan said: "The poor monk is the first time I have heard of it. ”

Song Jiang didn't know in his heart, if he really knew, it would be a pity if he didn't want to mix with himself.

At this time, Zhang Gui came back and said a few words to Song Jiang, and Song Jiang said to Ming Xuan: "Let's go, let's go find those liars." ”

Ming Xuan was puzzled: "Are you going to trouble them?" ”

Song Jiang said with a smile: "I asked the master to save them, the Buddha has a benevolent heart, if they learn more knowledge from the master, instead of using it to cheat, to benefit the people of the Great Song Dynasty, wouldn't it be a merit!" ”

Ming Xuan was overjoyed when he heard it, and he looked at Song Jiang one level higher.

Following Zhang Gui's guidance, they successfully found the liar's lair, Zhang Gui and Pei Xuan stayed to watch the horses, and Song Jiang and others went in.

The swindlers were furious when they saw the monk who had done bad things to them, and stood up and said: "You thief bald don't understand the rules of the rivers and lakes at all, don't say anything about smashing our field, and find helpers to kill them all, it's a big deal to fight with you for your life!" ”

The seven men in the room all stood up, clenched their fists, and glared angrily, it turned out that the three of them were performing, and the rest were Tuo.

Song Jiang saw that the fight was about to break out, and thought to himself that if you didn't have a chemical foundation, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to you, and now I will accept you and be an assistant to Ming Xuan.

Then he took out a piece of silver and said, "How can there be no bets in a fight." ”

He pointed to Huachen and said: "He fought with the seven of you alone, and the silver you won is yours, and we will leave; After he wins you, he will follow us, and I will make you rich and rich, just like you are lying in the cold and sleeping in the cold. ”

A dozen sevens? Not sick, right?

They are used to running the rivers and lakes, and they know that if they retreat at this time, they will only be beaten. The eldest of the seven nodded, and two of them had already rushed over first, and before they could figure it out, they were swept to the ground by a whirlwind leg of Huachen. The remaining five were shocked when they saw this, but now they couldn't help but flinch, and when the seven came out, they were already tied to a rope.

So they rushed up, but it was Huachen's opponent, who rushed up quickly and fell faster. However, they still counted their words, and the leading man said: "We are willing to bow to the wind, and we are willing to obey Your Excellency's orders in the future, I don't know Your Excellency's surname?" ”

Song Jiang said his name, and the seven people were the same as Ming Xuan, and Song Jiang didn't care: "Since everyone is one family in the future, we will all go to the town restaurant to eat and live today, and I will take care of all your food, drink and Lazar, tomorrow we will pack up our things and hire a few cars to set off." ”

Those seven people were overjoyed, this was the God of Wealth!
