Chapter 6: God's Protection
"Tang Ying, is the person you are looking for here?" After sending Wei Meng away, Dai Yan called Tang Ying. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Just wait outside, Childe." Tang Ying replied.
"Go and ask him in, no, I'll meet him myself." Dai Yan immediately got up and went out.
The person who came was a middle-aged man in his thirties, dressed in a short-sleeved brown shirt, with wrinkles on his face and thick calluses on his hands.
"Uncle Tong, the villain, has seen the son, and he dares to ask the son what is the matter with summoning the villain here?" This seemingly lowly commoner was not stage frightened at all, and after seeing Dai Yan, he immediately asked calmly.
"I heard Tang Ying say that Mr. is the best swordsmith in our Fengyi, and all the bronze swords cast are fine. I don't know if Mr. can do it, not to forge a sword, but to cast two things for me. Dai Yan asked.
"The villain is only a little tricky, how dare he be praised by the son. But I don't know what Childe wants the villain to cast? Uncle Tong said curiously.
"It's nothing, it's just a copper rod and a copper cage. Can you do it, sir? ”
"I don't know what kind of copper rod and copper cage Childe wants to build? How long does the copper rod need to be, how high does the copper cage need to be, and can there be specific requirements for the thickness of the rod and cage? "Uncle Tong is worthy of being the best swordsmith in Fengyi, and as soon as he heard what needed to be built, he immediately began to ask about the specific details.
Dai Yan also admired the professionalism of this swordsmith, thinking that in a hierarchical society, I am afraid that nothing other than the obsession with technology could arouse his interest. He explained the specific details of the copper rod and the copper cage to Uncle Tong one by one, and then asked, "I wonder if Mr. can cast this thing within five days?" ”
"If it needs to be done within five days, then it will be too late to re-smelt the copper, and I need enough copper to be smelted directly." Uncle Tong replied honestly.
"Tang Ying, you take Mr. to the treasury, and the copper in the treasury will be taken with Mr. You must do a good job in this matter, this matter is related to the lives of our families. Dai Yan instructed Tang Ying.
The five days passed quickly. It was a day of heavy rain and thunder in the sky. According to past experience, basically no one will come out at such a time, but at this time, outside the east gate of Fengyi, there are many people, men, women, old and children, rich and poor, everyone braves such a heavy rain to come here, just to see the test of God.
Recently, there have been strange things in Fengyi one after another, first the newly sealed lord Zi Yan shot the heavens and the earth, disrespecting ghosts and gods, but the wizard Bu Xian predicted that he would definitely be punished by heaven, and sure enough, Ziyan went out and was struck by lightning. But although Gongzi Ziyan was struck by lightning, he was not dead. The people of the Song Kingdom worship ghosts and gods, and everyone is muttering in their hearts that this god has a deep protection for Gongzi Ziyan? Or is it the power of the gods that the wizard Bu Xian relied on? Fortunately, no matter what, there will be an end today.
Under the big tree outside the east gate, a copper rod has been tied at this time, and if you look closely, you can find that the copper rod is connected by multiple sections. There is no way around it, there is no mechanization in this era, and it is impossible to pull out too long copper bars. The copper pole branched out as it reached the bottom of the tree, which Dai Yan had instructed his subordinates to do well when there was no thunder these days.
Le Xin sat in a gorgeous car, looked at the copper pole under the tree, and asked people to go to check it, until it was confirmed that it was real copper, and then nodded silently. It seems that Ziyan is going to play really, and he is worthy of being the son of the Song Kingdom, and he really has the characteristics of the Song Kingdom.
With Le Xin taking the lead, the other nobles and wizards also went to check and confirmed that this kind of demining device could not be faked, and then they all retreated.
In the eyes of everyone's anticipation, Dai Yan finally appeared on the stage, and he appeared with the wizard Bu Xian. In everyone's eyes, you can see the confident smile on the young son's face, and the wizard Bu Xian has a mournful expression.
"Fathers and fellow villagers of Fengyi, some of you may have seen me, and some of you don't know me. I am your new lord, Ziyan. I have only been in power here for two months, and many people know that what I do is nothing more than shoot the heavens and the earth, so everyone thinks that the boy is a boy who does not respect ghosts and gods, and does not know the height of the sky. But why should I shoot the sky? At that time, because the well-known gods of heaven and earth, wind and rain, etc., were not real gods, they were all fake, and these sorcerers were using the name of gods to oppress you! You may not believe it now, but I will show you the power of God. Those who are protected by God will be invincible! As soon as Dai Yan opened his mouth, he let out a lot of nonsense, which immediately caused these godly Song people to exclaim.
"Childe has reached this point, and he dares to blaspheme the majesty of God." Bu Xian was not to be outdone, he knew that he couldn't retreat today, he retreated, even if he was lucky enough to get the protection of God and didn't die, then his reputation in Fengyi would be gone, what was the difference between that and death? "There are gods in the heavens, there are gods in the earth, and there are ghosts in men. And all things have spirits, and the one whose spirit is God. Therefore, the mountain has a mountain god, the water has a river master, the rain has a rain master, the wind has a wind master, and the thunder god has a thunder gong and an electric mother, and we and other sorcerers are the people who communicate with ghosts and gods, and the gods will inevitably protect us. After speaking, he bowed to the people of the four directions, and then knelt down to the sky and prayed: "Lei Gongdian is above, and the boy Bu Xian dares to ask for protection, and he will be worshiped day and night in the future." ”
"Haha, Bu Xian, is it still useful to worship God temporarily, everyone can't wait, I'll wait for this to start." Dai Yan said to Bu Xian with a sarcastic expression.
Soon, two copper rods were created that could be held in both hands. Bu Xian was about to go up, but saw Dai Yan ordering his subordinates to move a huge copper cage from the car.
"Childe, what are you?" This is the voice of Le Xin, who has been staying in the car and watching silently.
"This cage is also made of copper, copper can be electrified, can I, as the prince of the Song Kingdom, still be able to deceive?" For some reason, Ziyan was always grateful to Le Xin, and there was a kind of resentment in his body, and his voice was not so polite.
Le Xin took a closer look and found that this cage was indeed made of copper, so he didn't care.
Soon, a subordinate helped Dai Yan connect the copper rod with the cage, and Dai Yan didn't say much, just opened the cage door and walked in. Bu Xian did not prepare such a cage, so he could only stand in the wind and rain with a connected copper pole in his hand.
God's test officially began, and everyone retreated. Although the Song people revered ghosts and gods, they didn't want to be affected by the aftermath of ghosts and gods at all, and that would be the end of ashes.
Although there were thunderbolts in the sky from time to time, it turned out that even in the highest position in the entire Fengyi, it was still a little difficult for the copper rods connected to it to be hit by thunderbolts. Everyone was holding their breath, so that there was a strange silence outside the east gate of Fengyi, where tens of thousands of people were located, and only the sound of whirring wind could be heard in the whole field, the sound of scattered rain hitting the ground, and then a few thunders in the sky from time to time.
Rumble! A loud bang suddenly exploded in the ears of tens of thousands of people, and at the same time, people could also see the huge lightning on the top of the tree, which was fascinating. Countless people immediately knelt down and bowed!
"Ahh People found that it was the wizard Bu Xian, at this time his body was already charred, the copper rod he was holding in his hand had fallen to the ground, he collapsed in the rain, his body was charred, his hands and feet were curled, and his mouth was still talking intermittently.
Rumble! Another thunderclap sounded, and people found that Gongzi Yan, who had been holding the outer rod of the cage, had nothing to do, which was in stark contrast to the scorched black body of the wizard Bu Xian.
No, it wasn't nothing, his robe was blown by the wind, and his hair stood on end. And the cage is still flashing sparks, it looks exactly the same as the thunder and lightning in the sky, this is definitely the power of the real heavenly thunder, Gongzi Yan can actually withstand the power of the heavenly thunder?
People have also heard that Gongzi Yan was struck by lightning once but fortunately did not die, but this is a rumor after all, and it is far less shocking than what everyone has seen with their own eyes. Now everyone has seen with their own eyes what a tragic situation Bu Xian, who was also struck by lightning, but Gongzi Yan was still unharmed, which shocked the Song people who admired ghosts and gods.
"Xuanzi!" I don't know who suddenly shouted such a sentence, and then bowed to Dai Yan more than once. This shout was like a thunderclap in people's hearts, which instantly woke up tens of thousands of people in the field, so everyone shouted "Xuanzi" and bowed to Dai Yan.
Dai Yan was holding the main rod on the copper cage in his hand at this time, and he was actually glad in his heart. At this moment, he was so grateful to his middle school physics teacher, and he listened to the teacher's bewitchment of him: learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and he will not be afraid to go all over the world. After going to work, he felt that there was no sentence more nonsense than this sentence, and when he went to work, he needed to pay attention to the speed of the car, and then what was the distance from home to the company to calculate the time? In this regard, he is more concerned about the problem of traffic jams. Do you need to think about how much friction you have between yourself and the ground when you walk on the road? If the friction is too small, will I not be able to walk? He only cares about whether he will fall down or not. When cooking, the water drips in the pan and splashes on his body, does he think about why the water splashes? What he thought of was definitely where to put the cool oil and how to stop the injury.
Now he finally feels how important it is to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry, and it can save his life at a critical moment! In fact, the reason why he was struck by lightning and did not die is very simple, because the conductor will play a "protective" role in its interior, so the area inside this cage is essentially an electrostatic shielding area, and lightning will never be able to penetrate this cage. This cage was later known as the "Faraday Cage" in honor of Faraday, the founder of electromagnetism.
The sound of people shouting "Xuanzi" like a mountain shouting "Long live" woke him up, and the expression on his face became extremely unnatural. Alas, it is indeed a backward and ignorant people, Dai Yan thought with a sense of superiority unique to a traverser.
In the luxurious car in the distance, Le Xin's face became extremely bad. He also asked people to check on Bu Xian's injuries, which were absolutely incurable. However, why did Ziyan have nothing to do, was he really blessed by the true God as he said before?
Tang Ying and Tian Buli looked at the lord who was suffering thunder and lightning in the cage with fanatical and proud eyes, but they followed a lord who was protected by God, and it will be just around the corner to follow the lord in the future.
Dai Yan walked out of the cage and walked in front of tens of thousands of people, pressing his hands slightly, and the fanatical voice disappeared in an instant. Everyone looked at this young man with fanatical faces, and the Song people and even the merchants had a long-standing legend: the Heavenly Destiny Xuanniao descended to give birth to merchants. How did the surname "Zi" of Shang and even Song come about? It is because everyone thinks that the first generation of merchants' ancestors is Xuanniaozi, so they are called "son" surname. Now that people have seen the miracle happen to Ziyan, how can they not identify him as the son of Xuanniao-Xuanzi?
Dai Yan actually wants to tell everyone here: I was not blessed by God, but because I mastered the scientific principles of electromagnetism. But he himself knows that people will never believe what he says, a person can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, and no matter how much others don't believe it, it's nonsense.
"I am protected by God." Dai Yan's slow voice came, as if with a kind of magic. "There is only one great god in this world, and He created the whole world in which we live, the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, rivers and the sea, and everything in the world was created by Him. It rules everything in the world, and I have only a little understanding of God's rules to be protected by it. ”
