"Hahaha... You don't believe it, do you? Hearing what they said, Li Chengji couldn't help laughing.

Although it has been scientifically demonstrated, it is theoretically possible to become a reality by changing the molecular structure. However, due to the high degree of difficulty, even in the 21st century, when science and technology are developed, it still has not become a reality.

What's more, there was no such thing as 'science' in the thirteenth century.

Therefore, Li Chengji listened and didn't believe it in his heart.

But to his surprise, Yira Chong'a and the others really believed it. So much so that Li Chengji laughed alone for a long time, unconsciously a little embarrassed.

"Third brother! Originally, we didn't believe it. But that Hu Shang turned the stones I brought with his own hands into gold, and I have to believe it. Sun Mingxi said helplessly.

Yila Chong'a also nodded and agreed: "Yes! Third brother! I saw with my own eyes that my eldest brother's stones turned to gold. ”。

Kumbas said urgently: "That Hu Shang said that this golden method can only be passed on to one person.

Therefore, the inn where Hu Shang settled was full of dignitaries and dignitaries with heavy treasures and begging to learn the art of turning stones into gold.

If we're late, we'll be preempted by others. ”。

Li Chengji frowned and said suspiciously: "Oh? With such a big turmoil, there is no movement in the palace? ”。 Even the high-ranking officials of Daliao were involved, and it was impossible for the palace not to notice it.

Shi Malin immediately responded: "When my father went to court, he had already handed over the fold to the imperial history. But His Majesty was thinking about the autumn hunt, and the privy envoy of the North and South Courts went to Khorezm again. So the excerpt was handed over for several days, but there was no response. ”。

"This..." Because he thought that as long as the palace noticed this matter, sooner or later Hu Shang's deception would be revealed. But looking at the current situation, it seems that it will not be possible in the short term.

Of course, he also thought about going for it himself.

But that Hu Shang was able to deceive so many people, which shows that there are still some means. In addition, his age is a shortcoming that others find it difficult for others to believe.

Thinking about it like this, he was a little embarrassed.

However, on the surface, he still advised them not to believe it.

But it's okay not to mention it, as soon as they mention the transfer of Chong'a and them, they are very embarrassed to say that they have invested a lot of money in that Hu Shang, and now they want to come to Li Chengji to raise it.

"What? And you gave him five thousand gold treasures? Li Chengji's eyes widened and he said in surprise.

"Ahem, ahem... Out of the way! Out of the way. The Hu merchant said that as long as I give him more treasures than others, he will teach me the art of turning stones into gold. Counting the days, there are only two days left.

And even if it doesn't work, he will return the treasure twice as much. Kombas said with a relaxed face.

This matter is still the beginning of the expansion of the Bath!

For this reason, he also pawned out the capital of Yipinju. Sun Mingxi, Yi Ra Chong'a, and Guo Shizhuang also invested in the money. After teaching the Hubas Society, give them a piece of the pie.

"He said to return it, and you believed it?" , Li Chengji has no good airway.

"Third brother, you don't know anything. A few days ago, the eighth brother exchanged 100 gold for double. ”。 The restaurant competition that day made everyone have a good impression of Guo Shizhuang and Shi Molin. So it was later unanimously agreed to include both of them. It's just that because I came late, even though I got older, I had to go back in line.

The crowd echoed him, saying that it was true.

When Li Chengji heard this, he admired Hu Shang's methods even more. He speculated: "So, many people have been returned double treasures?" ”。

"Not exactly! Only those who are willing to barter with gold will return double. Otherwise, the treasure will only be returned to its rightful owner. Guo Shizhuang replied truthfully.

"Do most people choose gold?" , Li Chengji then asked.

"Hmmm! Seeing that they could get double the gold, the people of the capital all sold their wealth and exchanged it for cash. If you give it to you, you will get double the money back. ”。 Knowing that Li Chengji couldn't put his mind at ease, he explained out loud.

This made Li Chengji's brows furrow even tighter.

Because it was hard for him to imagine how such a completely unreasonable gold counting technique could make so many people rush to it. And where did the Hu merchant get the gold? If it's fake, it should be exposed by now.

said to Guo Shizhuang: "Have you seen the redeemed gold?" Is it true? ”。

Guo Shizhuang immediately responded.

They also said that they had asked someone to verify it.

After thinking about it, Li Chengji decided to go and see it for himself. It's good to see on the spot, the means of Hu Shang.

said hello to Xiao Chongde, saying that after returning home, he would have time to continue practicing martial arts.

Because of horseback archery, it is one of the necessary martial arts for Da Liao men. So despite Li Xiao's reluctance, he was persuaded by Xiao Chongde to allow Li Chengji to ride a horse.

After all these days of practice, it is safe to ride a horse on the road.

So he and Yila Chonga and them, all the way to Ngee An Fang.

In less than a stick of incense, the crowded Ngee An Fang appeared in front of him.

I saw that compared to the first time I came in early spring, it was deserted. Ngee An Fang in summer is much more lively and noisy. Merchants dressed in all kinds of clothes, with different appearances and speaking different dialects, came and went.

From time to time, there is also a group of Hu merchants who are driving a large group of camels and carrying a large number of commercial goods to the various shops in Ngee On Fang.

When they got here, Li Chengji and the others also had to slow down. It's just dangling. Come to an inn called 'Jade Dragon Jiechi'.

This is Khorezm's Chamber of Commerce in Daliao! Most of the merchants of Khorezm will settle here.

From the outside, the inn is still very recognizable. The unique castle-like building is a Khorezm, a unique architectural style.

Looking at the luxurious carriages parked around the inn, as well as the nobles who came in and out, dressed in different clothes, but all made of silk and satin, Li Chengji asked in a slightly low voice: "Is this where Hu Shang stayed?" ”。

"Hmmm! Let's go inside! Sun Mingxi took the lead in jumping off the horse. All the people followed, and fell back to the ground one after another.

The men who were waiting outside the inn immediately stepped forward and moved their horses elsewhere.

Once inside, the entire first floor is full of seats. Talking and laughing with each other, passing the leisure time. In the center of the first floor, a high platform covering an area of more than 20 square meters and half a zhang high is placed.

According to Koubas, this is the place where Hu Shang came to perform the art of turning stones into gold in public.

At this time, there was still a period of time before the afternoon when Hu Shang performed the spell. Therefore, the high platform is empty, and Li Chengji cannot see Hu Shang's methods.
