Ay~

Looking at Pang Chunmei standing in front of him, Wu Kai couldn't help but sigh, he didn't expect to go around in a big circle, and in the end he still had to rely on her - this is really providential.

If there was any other option, he didn't want to go back on his word - but who would have thought that Jue An would suddenly die?

Among the remaining few people, Wu Yueniang has a grudge, and Brother Yun is bent on leaving, as for Fahai......

Wu Kai didn't think about cultivating Fahai as a confidant, but the two little monks who appeared today sounded the alarm for Wu Kai - this Fahai monk is not a lonely person, if he peeks out the details, he may not be able to control him.

So the only thing Wu Kai can choose is the ambitious girl in front of him.

"Master, master?"

Pang Chunmei struggled to hold a wooden box, and after waiting for a while, she didn't see any reaction from Wu Kai, and finally couldn't help but remind: "Do you think these things are still suitable?" ”

"Uh~ let's put it here first!"

Wu Kai came back to his senses at this time, and instructed Pang Chunmei to put the box on the coffee table, picked up an axe from it, and split it twice, and found that it was quite handy, although it could not be compared with the set of alloy tools he commonly used, it was enough to use it for simple processing.

Pang Chunmei watched him wield the axe from the side, and she didn't feel very good, especially thinking of the head that was placed at the gate of the courtyard before, she couldn't help but take half a step back, only to feel that her feet seemed to be stepping on a cotton flower, and it was soft.

But I heard Wu Kai say: "Don't you want to learn spells?" Then take a closer look! ”

Pang Chunmei was stunned when she heard this, it felt like she had returned to heaven from hell, and she was so excited that she didn't know what to do, so she asked stupidly: "Master, are you ...... Are you really going to teach me spells?! ”

"Huh."

Wu Kai grinned and said, "Whether it's a spell or not, you can judge for yourself when you're done." ”

Even in the era of high-tech flooding, the use of handmade props to create sensory illusions to achieve the effects required by the plot is the basic skill of every prop master.

However, at present, the conditions are simple, and the time is pressing, it is definitely too late to elaborate, and he can only pick the simple and rude, but fortunately, he does not seek to be perfect, as long as he can bluff the ancient people.

What Wu Kai wants to try now is such an extremely simple five-mao special effect - so simple that it can be done with only a few pieces of rosin.

As a lubricant for strings, rosin is definitely the standard for large families in the Song Dynasty, and Ximen Mansion is naturally no exception, Wu Kai only gave an order, and Pang Chunmei turned out a few pieces of egg-sized rosin from Wu Yueniang's piano box.

These rosins look slightly browned and not clear enough, which is obviously not very good, but they are enough for experimentation.

Wu Kai first took a piece of rosin, divided it evenly into two halves with a firewood knife, and then asked Pang Chunmei to find two pieces of wood the size of a fist, which were also split in half, and then chiseled a groove in the center of the wooden block, stuffed the rosin into it separately, and finally closed the split wooden block again and tied it with fine hemp rope.

In this way, the first process is completed.

Then Wu Kai asked Pang Chunmei to find two braziers, lit them, and placed them on the left and right sides of the Taishi chair.

After the charcoal fire was completely burned, Wu Kai sat down firmly on the Taishi chair and casually threw the two pieces of wood with rosin in them into the brazier.

The thin hemp rope that tied the wooden block was quickly burned, and the flame in the basin suddenly burned brightly, and even the color of the flame changed to a bright goose yellow, and as the fire rippled, it showed a light yellow circle around it.

Is this going to cast a spell?

Pang Chunmei subconsciously clenched her little hands, but just as she was holding her breath and preparing to witness the miracle, she heard Wu Kai curse: "Damn!" Sure enough, it was synthesized in the later stage! ”

As he spoke, no matter how the fire rippled, he took the rosin and the plank again, and repeated what he had just done.

Pang Chunmei watched inexplicably from the sidelines, but she didn't dare to ask, but fortunately, Wu Kai's actions were quick, and two pieces of wood were concocted in a short time.

However, this time he did not rush to throw the wooden blocks into the fire, but Pang Chunmei first covered the windows with a sheet, and then found two stones to put under the brazier, so that the brazier was tilted at a 45-degree angle to the Taishi chair.

Thinking about it, Wu Kai took Pang Chunmei to dismantle a few bronze mirrors from the maid's room, and carefully arranged them next to the brazier, roughly in the shape of an irregular radar, and then threw the concocted wooden blocks into the fire.

As usual, after a while, the bright yellow flames began to surge again, and then I saw that Wu Kai's body suddenly lit up with a circle of magnificent and sacred golden rays, setting off him as if a god and Buddha had descended into the world!

"Dare to distract the people! When you see the deity, you don't kneel down quickly! ”

Pang Chunmei was stunned, and when she heard a strange scolding, her knees weakened in fright, she knelt on the ground and trembled, muttering in her mouth, but even she didn't know what she was saying.

It is estimated that some people will feel very familiar when they see this, because this method is borrowed from the plot of "Iron Tooth Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan", mainly using the characteristics of rosin when it burns violently, it will release the same color and light as itself.

It's just that the original version is not only not arranged to focus on the light, but it is still demonstrated under the big sun, which obviously does not conform to scientific common sense, and belongs to the synthetic special effects added in the later stage - now after Wu Kai has made slight changes, it is really possible to realize.

"It looks like it's working well."

Wu Kai smacked his lips, walked over and pulled Pang Chunmei up, and pushed it onto the Taishi chair without saying anything: "You sit on it and try it, let me see if there is anything that needs to be improved." ”

"Sir, I'm ...... I ......"

Pang Chunmei was at a loss.

"If you want to sit, you can sit, where is so much nonsense!"

Wu Kai impatiently pressed her to the Taishi chair, then took a few steps back, and looked up and down at his own handwriting.

Tut~

This effect seems to be described as 'unsatisfactory', if a few more auxiliary mechanisms can be added, maybe the effect will be better, but unfortunately it is difficult for Qiao Woman to cook without rice, and he can only put more effort into the details.

Fortunately, this is a small county town in ancient times, and the cultural level of the common people is generally low, and there are more superstitious things about ghosts and gods than in later generations.

"Okay, you open the window first, and then go out with me to breathe, this rosin is poisonous when it burns."

Chong panicked Pang Chunmei beckoned, Wu Kai walked out of the wing room first, and found that outside unconsciously, there were already snowflakes, which made him faintly look forward to it - in the Water Margin, Wu Song braved the heavy snow to return to Yanggu, and now that it is starting to snow, presumably Wu Erlang will not be too far away, right?

"Sir."

When Pang Chunmei appeared behind Wu Kai, her face was still in a trance, and she couldn't help but ask in a whisper after hesitation: "What was the ...... just now?" Is that a spell? ”

Wu Kai didn't answer and asked: "What do you think?" ”

Pang Chunmei opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say or dare to say.

Although she was bluffed at first, she participated in the whole process after all, and finally experienced the feeling of being a 'fairy', and now in retrospect, she always feels that this is far from the imaginary spell.

But if it's not a spell, the scene of the divine light protecting the body looks so magical......

"I don't know if there are real spells in this world, but I know a lot, and the methods that can make people mistakenly think they are spells, as long as you can learn three or five percent, I guarantee that most of your ideas can be realized." Wu Kai also decided to reveal part of the truth to Pang Chunmei after careful consideration.

After all, she was involved in the whole process, and sooner or later she would have doubts about this so-called 'spell', and it was better to make it clear to her from the beginning - of course, Wu Kai would not tell her the real principle.

Pang Chunmei was overjoyed when she heard this, and she knelt on the ground again, and said coquettishly: "Master! The slave and maid will serve the master with all their hearts and souls in the future, and if there is the slightest disobedience, they will be beaten by the heavens......"

"Okay, don't talk about these useless things, I just look at your actions in the future!" Wu Kai waved his hand and said impatiently: "Go, see if the rosin in the brazier is burned, if it is already burned, let's conduct the next test." ”

Although she didn't know what 'test' meant, Pang Chunmei jumped up quickly and rushed into the house in a choking pine smoke.

After that, Wu Kai took Pang Chunmei to carry out various experiments, such as increasing the number of braziers, or changing the position of the brazier and the Taishi chair to find the best aperture effect; Another example is to study all kinds of eye-catching tricks, so that the tricks are not easy to debunk......

Time passed through the experiments, and in the afternoon, the monk Fahai finally returned to Ximen Mansion with the results of the negotiations, two emaciated servants.

Different from the high-spirited when he set off, Fahai at this time was a little decadent, and he was even a little confused between his eyebrows - because he hadn't made it clear until now, so after Li Xianling heard that Wu Kai was going to sacrifice his land, Ming Mingle's snot bubbles came out, why did he just whisper a few words to his master, and immediately changed his face?

"Master Wu, Lord Xianzun said that there is no need to rush the matter of Tianshan, as for saving his reputation, Lord Xianzun is worried that he will immediately rebel as soon as he posted the notice, which will damage the majesty of the imperial court, so he ......"

"So what?"

"So he acquiesced in the fact that we would take the notice down ourselves." Fahai said, pointed to the two old and weak soldiers, and said with a sneer: "In addition, the county lord also specially sent two officials to represent the county government's support for this matter. ”

I know that this dog official can't count on it!

There is no need to rush the field......

Could it be that this dog official also guessed that Wu Kai would not stay in the county seat for a long time, so he planned to wait for him to escape, and then calmly come back to pick peaches?

As for the fact that 'going back on his word will damage the prestige of the government', it is obvious that he is afraid that he will not be able to run away when the case is thoroughly investigated, and it is a reason that he would rather sing about the empty city plan and indulge Wu Kai to escape, rather than send someone to negotiate [Master He's book is not a negotiation that time, it should be called persuasion to surrender].

As for these two officials, it is estimated that they are also temporary workers of the county government, but they are just scapegoats specially pushed out in order not to completely anger Wu Kai.

But it's already like this, and complaining won't help, but fortunately, Wu Kai has already made a plan: "Since the government is unwilling to help, let's make a notice ourselves." ”

"Shall we make our own notice?" Fahai was stunned for a moment, and said cautiously: "Master Wu, without the big seal of the official government on it, the people are afraid that they will not believe it." ”

"It's okay, I'm not going to wash the floor directly with the notice, I just want to inform the people of this city that there is a good show to be staged tonight that should not be missed!"
