Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

"I will convene a meeting of all the believers. At that time, I will declare you the Holy Emissary in front of all the believers."

"But it's hard to convince the people just by me promoting them. The believers below won't feel awe towards you from the bottom of their hearts, so I need some tricks."

Wei Wu turned his head and looked at Dharma King Qingyang, and asked with a puzzled look:

"Methods? The methods that Brother Jiang mentioned, could it be..."

"That's right. To put it bluntly, I want you to perform some tricks to show off your divine power to the followers below."

Before Wei Wu could finish speaking, Dharma King Qingyang announced the answer directly.

In fact, Wei Wu knew what this meant, but his current identity was a returnee from Goryeo.

It’s best not to show your understanding of the Central Plains, so you pretend to be a young and naive person.

For example, what he said just now, he calls himself Zhang Liang who makes a living, and wants to assist the wise ruler in fighting for the orthodoxy of the world.

It can be said that he is as childish as he can be, but this is the character he wants to show to Dharma King Qingyang.

After all, young people who have little knowledge and life experience but have lofty ambitions are the easiest to fool.

In fact, after what he said just now, Wei Wu has already shown his greatest value to King Qingyang.

Yao Xiong and the more than 5,000 soldiers in the garrison are what King Qingyang values ​​most.

If he showed extraordinary intelligence again, Dharma King Qingyang would not only not be happy, but would be on guard against him in every way.

He has soldiers at his disposal and is smart. Anyone would be wary of such a subordinate to avoid being replaced.

Facts proved that Wei Wu's decision was correct, and King Qingyang was indeed very satisfied with him.

So after the answer was announced, seeing that Wei Wu didn't say anything, he thought Wei Wu was troubled by the means.

He immediately reached out and patted Wei Wu on the shoulder, offering advice and saying:

"Brother Chen, don't worry. I've already figured out how to demonstrate your skills."

After saying this, Dharma King Qingyang turned and looked at Master Zheng.

"Master, show it to Brother Chen!"

"Yes!"

Master Zheng responded respectfully, then immediately took out a slightly yellowed piece of paper and a small dagger from his arms.

Master Zheng unfolded the paper, slowly spread it on the table, and then took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms.

Pour the liquid in the porcelain bottle onto the small knife, then swing the knife across the paper.

How could a piece of paper withstand the cutting of the dagger? It was cut in half on the spot.

A magical scene happened. The edges of the paper that was cut in half by the dagger turned blood red.

After the demonstration, Master Zheng looked at Wei Wu and said:

"Mr. Chen, we will be ready for you when the time comes. You just need to swing your sword and kill the ghost to show your divine power."

To be honest, although Wei Wu knew that it was a reaction caused by some substances, he still felt it was very novel.

"Master, how did you do this?"

Seeing the curious look on Wei Wu's face, Master Zheng began to explain:

"Mr. Chen, it's actually very simple. All you need to do is soak this piece of white paper in turmeric water and then let it dry."

"Then apply the juice made from boiled seaweed to a sharp blade. When the two come into contact, blood marks like this will appear."

"With this blood-red as proof, we can demonstrate to the believers the divine power of Master Chen in slaying demons and monsters."

Boiling seaweed juice! Isn't that the process of making lye water?

In short, the chemical reaction between alkali and other ingredients is used to achieve the purpose of playing tricks.

It has to be said that although ancient people did not understand science, they still explored many interesting things.

However, to Wei Wu, this kind of trickery was too low-class and had no class at all.

So, after Master Zheng finished his explanation, Wei Wu immediately asked a question.

"Master, over the years, your method must have been used by many people!"

"Indeed, a few people have used it, but it doesn't matter. As long as you can demonstrate divine power, the believers will believe it."

Master Zheng did not hide anything and answered Wei Wu's question immediately.

After listening, Wei Wu slowly shook his head and said:

"If that's the case, the effect might be much worse. After all, I showed up suddenly, so if I want to convince everyone, I'm afraid I'll have to think of another way."

Having said that, Wei Wu pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of the large box of dry ice that he opened last night.

An idea suddenly came to his mind, and then he continued:

"If it's just a trick, I've learned some pretty good tricks in Korea over the years."

"Oh?"

After Wei Wu finished speaking, Dharma King Qingyang looked at him in surprise.

"Why don't you show me, Brother Chen, what methods other countries have?"

In the Central Plains, the White Lotus Sect can be said to be the ancestor of pretending to be gods and playing tricks, and basically knows all the tricks.

But he had never seen the tricks of other small countries, and he couldn't help but feel curious.

Seeing this, Wei Wu did not act pretentiously and stood up immediately.

"Brother Jiang, please wait a moment. I'll go get ready."

After saying that, Wei Wu walked out of the private room without saying a word, and soon came back with a basin of water.

Placing the copper basin filled with clear water on the table, Wei Wu smiled mysteriously and said:

"Next, let's see how I can clear the clouds and mist!"

As he spoke, Wei Wu spread out his palm and slowly stroked it across the copper basin.

Dharma King Qingyang and Master Zheng stared intently at the copper basin, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

However, they saw nothing, only Wei Wu's hand passing across the basin.

Just as the two were confused, the water in the copper basin began to boil and roll.

At the same time, milky white bubbles exploded in the rolling water, and thick white mist overflowed from the basin.

That's right, it overflowed because the gas after dry ice sublimated is denser than air and it cannot float.

A large amount of white mist overflowed from the copper basin, forming a thick layer of white mist on the table.

Dharma King Qingyang and Master Zheng, who were originally full of curiosity, were all shocked after seeing this scene.

It was clearly just a basin of clear water, but suddenly thick white mist emerged. They had never seen such a magical thing before.

The two of them stared at the copper basin for a long time until the white mist in the basin disappeared.

Master Zheng then muttered to himself with a look of bewilderment on his face:

"Could it be that there really are Taoist magic in this world?"
