"Mr. Situ, we have all heard the story of Cao Chong. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"But what does it have to do with the problems we're having now?"

A businessman asked boldly.

"That's it!"

The other businessmen didn't dare to say anything, but they were also a little impatient in their hearts.

"There is also a sage in the Outlands, and his name is Archimedes!"

Situ Xing smiled slightly, not in a hurry, and said lightly.

"I wonder if this merchant, has you ever heard of the sage Archimedes?"

The foreign merchant's face couldn't help but change greatly, and his eyes also showed a look of shock and suspicion.

The sages on the Tower of Wisdom are the wisest people in the Outlands, they are not only smart, but also wield unimaginable power and power. Its status is no less than that of a saint in Daqian.

Archimedes is one of the most famous.

His story is even more widely circulated, and even children are familiar with it.

How could he not have heard of Archimedes the Sage?

However, Situ was just a fledgling and had never been to the Outlands. How could he possibly know the story of Archimedes the Sage, and Archimedes and the crown?

There must be a deception!

Thinking of this, the foreign merchant's face slowly became calm, and he said with some reverence:

"Archimedes the sage is a sage in our outer lands, who lives on a high tower of wisdom, which is rare for ordinary people to see, but the light of wisdom above his head can shine for thousands of miles. ”

Those who knew something about the foreign realm all gasped. The sages of the Outlands all have an aura of wisdom on their heads, and the greater his wisdom, the greater the scope of the aura.

Archimedes' wisdom light can shine thousands of miles, indicating that his wisdom is already very amazing, and as long as there is a proper opportunity, he can even become a god on the ground.

The gods of the outer lands are not the gods of the great Qian, and the gods of the outer lands control the power of the law and are the supreme masters. Even the king had to obey God's will.

Divine power of kings!

"Legend has it that the king of the Outlands, wishing to make a crown of pure gold identical to Tyre's crown, summoned a clever jeweler, explained his will, and made him weigh the gold as much as he could.

After some time, the jeweller handed over the crown as scheduled, and it was indeed exactly the same as Tyre's crown and weighed as the gold it had taken. The king gave the jeweler a great reward as he had promised. ”

"But the jeweller behaved like a liar, and could the gold that had been taken be stolen and mixed with other metals? The king's heart was suddenly cold in the face of this golden crown! But how could he determine whether the gold was adulterated without melting the crown? How could such a beautiful and splendid crown be willing to melt it again? The king was entangled day and night by this insoluble mystery, and he slept restlessly, and at last he was bedridden.

Finally, he summoned Archimedes. Archimedes was the most famous wise man of his time. The king gave him the dilemma: he had to check whether the crown was made of pure gold, but not to damage the crown in the slightest. Archimedes pondered and tried all the methods he could think of, but he could not reveal the secret of the crown. He forgot to eat, to sleep, to bathe, to heal, and was so obsessed with it that he even muttered in his dreams: "The crown, the king, the jeweler, the silver, the gold." A few weeks later, Archimedes was unkempt and his wife drove him into the bathroom. When Archimedes was immersed in the water, he suddenly felt that his weight had been reduced, and with a slight effort, his body could float, and his head was still full of crowns, kings, jewelers, gold, and silver. The body sinks and floats for a while, and the water level of the tub rises and falls. ”

"And then?"

When the people heard this story for the first time, they asked with some curiosity.

The foreign merchant's face instantly turned pale, and he looked at Situ Xing in disbelief, and now he was sure that Situ Xing had really heard this story.

Archimedes, after experimenting, went to the palace, and put two pounds of crown and two pounds of pure gold into two bottles filled with water, and found that the bottle in which the crown was placed overflowed with more water. This shows that a two-pound crown is larger than two pounds of pure gold, and that pure gold is very dense, and the volume of pure gold of the same quality is relatively small, so Archimedes proves that the goldsmith did mix other metals in King Henon's crown. ”

"What we're going to do now is to recreate the Archimedes experiment, and we'll need a sterling silver ingot of the same weight as this silver pot. ”

After seeing that everyone understood the experiment, Situ said loudly.

"There's no problem with that. ”

The old silversmith exclaimed excitedly.

"We can help too!"

The other silversmiths took out their tools and weighed them carefully, and in a few moments they found a silver ingot of the same quality.

Everyone watched intently, and the silver kettle was put into a container full of water little by little. A trace of water is drained from the outer wall of the pot and into the prepared vessel.

Situ did not collect it immediately, and slowly put the prepared silver ingots into another vessel.

A trace of water is discharged.

Looking at the water overflowing with obvious proportions, a knowing smile slowly rose at the corner of Situ Xing's mouth. He looked at the Outland merchant with a playful look, as if waiting for him to give him an explanation.

The Outland merchant looked at the two containers with obvious differences in water levels, and his heart couldn't help but feel troubled, as if a sledgehammer was beating him in the heart.

"This silver kettle is doped with other metals. ”

"I'll just say it doesn't feel right!"

"Outlanders also like to deceive?"

"Are they in the dark?"

The others looked at the stiff faces of the foreign merchants, how could they not understand what was going on, and looked at the overflowing volume of water with different volumes, and said with a shocked expression.

"You don't need to break the verification for this, do you?"

Situ Xing stared into the eyes of the foreign merchant and asked with a smile.

"Naturally, Mr. Situ is so erudite that he can even know the story of the sage Archimedes. ”

The foreign merchant's face was a little unnatural, and he said embarrassedly.

Of course, this wise man was a madman, and he once said that if he was given a fulcrum, he could turn the whole world up. ”

"Unfortunately, his words offended the taboo of the gods. It is precisely for this reason that he has not lit the divine fire and become the controller of the rules. ”

Situ Xing's eyes were gloomy, and he said with some emotion.

"All glory be to the gods, and even the sages are the closest beings to the gods, and they must obey the will of the gods. Anyone who dared to challenge God's authority would be put to death. ”

The exotic merchant looked at the sky, as if he saw the gods sitting on the throne and the majesty they symbolized, and he couldn't help but say in horror.

"There used to be a sage called Copernicus. His light of wisdom is no less than that of the sages of Archimedes. He was good at observing the movement of the stars, and thus mastered part of the laws of the starry sky. ”

But it was also for this reason that he offended the gods who mastered the astral bodies and was burned at the stake. ”

"Burn at the stake!"

"In our Daqian, the skin of innate martial artists is like that of an old cow, and there is no way to burn them with a trace of flames. Your foreign sages are too fragile in their bodies. ”

The merchant of Daqian said with some mockery.

"It's a joke that a sage who is close to a god would be burned to death by flames. ”

"That fire is no ordinary flame. Rather, it is taken from the solar fire on the throne of the sun god Apollo. Even the martial saints of Daqian will be burned alive. ”

Seeing that someone was questioning, the foreign merchant said anxiously.

"It's a divine fire, a flame that the gods will also be burned. According to legend, the first flame in the world was stolen by Prometheus from the sun god. ”

"It is precisely because of his kindness that there is a flame and a civilization in the outer lands. ”

Everyone listened to the legends of the foreign lands and felt the unprecedented civilization, and there was a kind of germination in their hearts, that is, to understand this civilization in depth.

"Who is Prometheus, and why can he steal the flame of the sun god?"

A businessman asked curiously.

"Legend has it that there was no fire in the Outlands, and life was very difficult for humans at that time. There was no fire to barbecue food, so I had to eat raw things, and there was no fire to illuminate them, so I had to spend long nights in that boundless darkness......

Genki, the king of the gods, agrees to give fire to humans, but he demands that humans must sacrifice a cow.

Prometheus came up with a brilliant plan. When the sacrifice was made to the god of energy, the ox that Prometheus gave to the god of energy was divided into two parts: the first part was raw beef, but there was no leather, and the second part was covered with bones but poured fragrant butter. The Yuan Qi God saw through the meaning of Prometheus's words at a glance, and said angrily: "I refuse to give the most important thing to humans, and that is fire!"

。。。

Situ Xing didn't listen to the stories of the foreign merchants, and whether the king of the gods was Zeus or the god of vitality had nothing to do with him.

How the fire of the outer lands came to the world has nothing to do with him.

Because this is a big job!

All here, the rulers of heaven and earth are human kings.

Even the gods have to obey the will of the king of men.

Otherwise, a will will knock him off the altar. The demon suppression army of the imperial court is more capable of attacking mountains and destroying temples, because Yang Feng Yin is violated, and the gods who are killed are not only the Jinghe Dragon King.

In ancient times, the god of war Xingtian was beheaded because he violated the will of the ancient king Yellow Emperor. You can only use the breast as the eye and the umbilicus as the mouth.

There is also a great god that existed in ancient times, and there is no support to pray to hinder the king of Dayu to control the water, Dayu was furious, and suppressed him at the bottom of the Yellow River with the soil, and he could not be transcended for ten thousand years.

As a disciple of the Legalists, Situ Xing has enough self-confidence that even if the god king of the foreign land sets foot in the land of Daqian, he will be subject to the laws and rules of the Daqian court, and there is even the possibility of falling, so the true body of the gods of the foreign land rarely sets foot in Daqian. At most, send believers, or drop a trace of doppelganger. I can't make any waves.

His eyes revealed a hint of confusion, and the qi function was opened, and a brilliant treasure light shot out from the treasure chest of the foreign merchant, but the strongest treasure among them turned out to be an inconspicuous rough stone.
