Into Unscientific

   Chapter 168 The Truth (6.6K)

   "Guru. Is your person?"

   Hearing Xu Yun's words.

  Old Su's anger that was stuffed in his chest, ready to explode at any time, suddenly stagnated.

  The whole person was stuck for a few seconds.

   After regaining consciousness.

  He subconsciously wanted to refute.

  But thinking of the many strange things that Xu Yun had shown before, the words that Lao Su intended to refute were abruptly stopped in his throat.

after awhile.

  He first forced himself to calm down, turned his head to look at Zong Ze, and said:

   "Ru Lin, the old man already knows about King Jian, you should step back first."

  Zong Ze quickly glanced at Xu Yun who was at the side, suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and saluted Old Su:

   "Teacher, that student will retire first."

   After Zongze left.

  Old Su withdrew his gaze, and said coldly to Xu Yun:

   "Wang Lin, you said that the master is yours, but what evidence can you prove?"

   It's done.

  Seeing that Lao Su patiently listened to his explanation, Xu Yun couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

  Although I have demonstrated the situation today many times in my heart.

   But reality is reality after all, anything may happen, and risks still exist.

  No one can tell whether Lao Su will be angry, and he will not give himself a chance to explain.

  He directly threw the cup as a sign, and then a few dead soldiers sprang out from the edge of the screen and chopped himself into a meat paste, without any trace of scorpion.

   Then he took out a letter from his sleeve, laid it flat on the desk, and pushed it in front of Old Su:

   "Master, please look at this first."

  Old Su took the letter, shook it lightly, and read it for some unknown reason:

   "My name is Guo Jing, a native of Bingzhou. I used to be the deputy commander of the halberd of Youwei. Yongxi returned to Beijing in four years and lived in Beijing for a long time."

   After a few seconds.

  He suddenly raised his head, fixed his eyes on Xu Yun, as if he wanted to see through him:

   "This is this?"

  Wang Lin smiled and nodded towards him, affirming:

   "That's right, it's exactly Master Guo's self-report."

   "It contains his resume, the means of deceiving people, and the list of people who have been deceived by him. It can be regarded as his vote for me."

  Old Su heard the words, his left hand holding the letter trembled a few times.

  The right hand picked up the teacup and took a sip of water to suppress the shock, and asked Xu Yun full of surprise:

   "Xiao Wang, what's going on here?"

  Looking at Lao Su who had resumed his usual address, Xu Yun felt relieved again.

  Although he has already made some extreme preparations, explaining or not right now can't change the direction of the incident.

  But if it can restore Lao Su's perception, it will be better, just listen to him slowly say:

   "My lord, you may not know something. This master Guo is named Guo Jing, and he was originally a big liar."

   "That day after I came to the door with the card you lent, I first exposed all his tricks, and then taught him some more subtle tricks."

   "Combined with the self-report he wrote down, with a stick and a handful of sweet dates, he was easily taken under his command."

   "Many things in the future are all done by the villain veterinarian."

   Friends who know the history of the late Song Dynasty should know it.

  In the late Northern Song Dynasty.

  There are three Taoist priests with great reputations in the political arena, and the evaluations left in history are also different. They are:

  Xu Zhichang, Lin Lingsu, and

   Guo Jing.

   Among them, Xu Zhichang has the best reputation.

  He is proficient in Taoist classics and is a famous religious painter in the Northern Song Dynasty. Basically, he has not interfered too much in government affairs.

  In the collecting world of later generations, the value of this person's paintings is not too low.

  The average price is around 50,000 to 60,000, and the highest pair even sold for 470,000.

   Followed by Lin Lingsu.

  To be honest, the image of this man in the official history is really not very good.

  When he was at the peak of his power, he was in power, and Cai Jing wanted to avoid his edge. There is basically no good comment in the official history.

   But on the other hand.

  From the perspective of Taoism’s contribution, Lin Lingsu still has a certain amount of contribution:

  He is the patriarch of the Shenxiao Sect. He almost wiped out Buddhism by himself, and he plays a pivotal role in the history of Taoism.

   Some objective evaluations belong to a controversial negative ruthless person.

   But the rest of Guo Jing.

   is a complete liar.

   This strange woman was a soldier in her early years. He returned from the Western Front in 987 AD and returned to Bianjing with the army.

   Since then, I have been pretending to be a veteran without combat missions in Bianjing. I usually like to do things for others, a real veteran.

   By the time Jingkang changed, Guo Jing was already in his sixties.

  Sun Fu, the privy envoy at the time, accidentally learned of Guo Jing's name in "Gan Shi Poems", and found him in Bianjing City.

since then.

  The strange man began his magical performance:

  He first recruited a group of people, the number is 7777, which is likely to be warned by Muay Thai in future generations.

   These people’s horoscopes are combined with Liujia, so they are also called Liuding Liujia Shenbing.

  According to Song History records.

   Most of these people are beggars and rogues.

   Not long after that, these people were sent out of the city to meet the enemy.

  At the same time, Guo Jing sat on the wall and did this:

  Beside him stood a statue of a heavenly king, shouted "You are strengthened, go ahead", and then disappeared.

   Well, gone:

  7777 "magic soldiers" were wiped out.

   It was also because of this great defeat that the Jin people boarded the city wall of Bianjing for the first time. (If you are interested, you can read the history of the Song Dynasty-Sun Fu Biography. The author sighed after reading it.)

   Another funny thing is.

  In later generations, there are still some people who clean up the Liujia Shenbing.

  For example, there is no way to do this. The fighting power of the Liujia Shenbing is also stronger than that of the Song Army, forcing the Jin Army to send the main force to wipe them out.

   Later, Guo Jing was even described as a failed version of Joan of Arc.

   But what is the truth?

  At that time, there was Zhang Shuye in the city, Zongze's army was on the way, and Li Gang was still there.

   Judging from the weapons and effects distributed to the residents of the city later, it is really not that difficult to survive until Zongze saves him.

  The two civil servants, Sun Fu and Prime Minister He Li, who turned out to be wonderful, together with Song Huizong's opinion, insisted on choosing Guo Jing.

  In addition, the Liujia Shenbing was indeed the main force of the Jin army, but the problem was that the four armies at the gate of the city were all tm the main force

  If you think about it with your brain, you know, who would block the door at such a juncture?

  At the same time, in addition to "Song History", Jin History also recorded this battle:

[Song General Guo Jing sent tens of thousands of troops to the Loushi camp, and the living women fought from the sidelines. The enemy was in chaos, so they broke it. The king sent the living women to lead elite troops to cut them across. With a flowing arrow in his hand, and a full bridle and a gun, he can shoot freely. The enemy was defeated and fled to the city. 】

   That is to say.

  At that time, after leaving the city, this group of Liujia soldiers went straight to the Jin army to kill them, and the momentum was probably quite fierce.

  So Lou Shi retreated a little and abandoned the gate of Daying,

  Let them rush into the encirclement, and let the living women flank and besiege.

   This very simple bait and encirclement tactic, in the mouths of those scrubbing parties, actually became a big camp to capture the Golden Army.

   Lou Shi was shot by an arrow in the arm, and became Lou Shi, the number one general of the Golden Army who was seriously injured

  What can this say?

  Some clowns in history insisted on clearing up the shame of the nation, while some national heroes clung to unnecessary or negligible black spots.

  So seriously, there are times when you really have to wonder what those guys are made of.

All right.

   Closer to home.

  Although Guo Jing is a charlatan through and through, he is an excellent candidate to fool Song Huizong:

  Xu Zhichang is very Buddhist and basically does not interfere in government affairs, so he lived to be 94 years old before dying.

  Lin Lingsu

   Because he is not in Bianjing, he is still wandering around.

  Besides, this is one of the patriarchs of the Taoist Eight Classics, if he is used as a buffoon, it is easy to be reported 404 by force majeure.

  So after careful consideration.

  Xu Yun finally chose Guo Jing as his target. (The reward is over, unfortunately no one guessed it right, but it is still very gratifying that someone guessed Lin Lingsu)

  The line of sight returns to reality.

   Then Xu Yun paused, changed the subject, and asked Old Su:

   "Master, when you were inquiring about the news, have you ever heard of this master's ability?"

  Most of the anger in Lao Su's heart has disappeared at this time, and more of it is doubt and curiosity. Hearing this, he thought:

   "The old man once wrote to a friend to inquire, but was told that this Master Guo has the ability to reach heaven and earth, which is far beyond the reach of ordinary pretenders."

   "For example, extracting things from the oil pan, detaining ghosts by gods, burning ghost corpses by fire, etc."

   "If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have been worshiped as a guru by officials so quickly."

how to say.

   It really deserves to be one of the top three dynasties in history with respect to ghosts and gods.

  Even Lao Su, a great master of the times, always has strong personal emotions when he mentions supernatural things.

  Xu Yunjian said that he looked around for a while, then took out a piece of yellow paper from his sleeve, and handed it to Old Su:

   "Master, take a look at this yellow paper, is there anything special about it?"

  Old Su took the yellow paper, touched it, shook his head and said:

   "It seems to be just an ordinary talisman paper?"

  Xu Yun smiled mysteriously at her, took back the yellow paper, pointed to a corner and said:

   "Master, borrow the light from the study."

  Old Su nodded:

   "Just use it."

  After getting Lao Su's approval.

  Xu Yun walked to a kerosene lamp near the desk, and stood sideways so that Lao Su could fully see his movements.

  Then he placed the yellow paper over the flames and shook it a few times.

   Less than a moment.

  The yellow paper began to burn with heat.

  At the beginning, Lao Su's expression was still a little puzzled, and he didn't understand the meaning of Xu Yun's move.

   But watch and watch.

  His expression gradually became a little horrified:

   I saw the dark fire on the paper slowly burning in, but it didn't spread to the entire paper, but gradually burned out into a strange shape!

   seems to be

  Yaoying!

   After a while.

  Xu Yun put the burnt yellow paper in front of Lao Su, and said respectfully:

   "Master, please look."

   In fact, Xu Yun didn't need to remind, Lao Su's attention was completely attracted by the yellow paper:

   On the yellow paper in front of him at this time, the burnt mark was a centipede one foot long!

  Old Su carefully picked up a corner of the yellow paper, and after confirming that it was just a hollow shape, he was slightly relieved.

   Then he looked at Xu Yun again, and said impatiently:

   "What the **** is going on here?"

  Xu Yun came to him with a little bear spreading his hands, and said with a smile:

   "This is what you said about gods holding ghosts, but it's actually just a trick."

   As he spoke, he tore a small hole in the yellow paper, pointed to some cotton-like things in it and said:

   "This yellow paper is surrounded by asbestos nets, which can resist dark fires, and the centipede-shaped area is ordinary yellow paper."

   "At the same time, the villain also dipped the potassium nitrate solution with a clean brush in advance, and applied it to the centipede area."

   "Potassium nitrate is colorless or yellowish, and no matter what the situation is, it will not leave traces on the yellow paper."

  "When the time is right, just pretend to catch ghosts, stage a human-ghost fight, and then find another opportunity to say that the ghost is going to escape."

   "At that time, step on the gangster step, form an array, swing the mahogany sword, and put on an appearance of fierce fighting with ghosts."

   "After the fighting is over, take out the yellow paper, say that you have sealed the ghosts on the yellow paper, and then light it up, and you can see all kinds of 'demon forms'."

   The operation Xu Yun mentioned was actually a very common method of "eliminating demons" in the Ming Dynasty.

  Because according to the development of technology, the core material required for the whole process is potassium nitrate solution, and it will not be relatively popular until then.

Of course.

  The Taoists at that time did not call it potassium nitrate solution, but yellow salt water.

  At present, the Song Dynasty has not yet developed to this point, but Xu Yun produced potassium nitrate in advance when preparing salt bridges and nickel steel.

  With the assistance of such an ultra-dimensional solution, it is not too easy to pretend to be a ghost, and it is guaranteed that the abnormality will not be discovered.

  As for the extraction from the oil pan and the burning of ghost corpses that Lao Su mentioned

   To put it bluntly, it is also very simple.

  The so-called burning of ghost corpses is actually a very "self-abuse" performance:

  The caster danced and danced, chanting words.

   After a while, his fingers started to burn.

  The caster then took a sip of water, and sprayed it on the 'cut' but invisible demon corpse and his own burning fingers on the ground.

  In an instant, a bunch of fire ignited on the ground.

  If the conditions are right, you can also see a little ghost fire rising.

   Actually.

   This is because the caster put camphor powder, phosphorus and sulfur on the ground in advance.

   While performing.

  The caster puts these on the fingers first.

  Because sulfur and phosphorus are flammable, camphor is volatile.

  So it will burn on contact without hurting your fingers.

  At the same time, what the caster sprayed was not water, but wine.

  That's why a beam of fire appeared, completely burning the demon corpse.

   This is also a trick that only appeared in the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, compared with the bug in the original version that may be exposed due to the 'alcoholic smell', what Xu Yun provided was medical alcohol.

  Although medical alcohol has a special taste, it is still very different from alcohol.

  If the other party really asks, they can evade the "consecrated" demon-subduing water, which can be regarded as a patch for the bug.

   It only needs to be taken from the oil pan, so I won’t explain much.

   This should be a trick with a wide spread, and it was quite popular in the qigong craze of the 1990s.

  But here is a wrong knowledge to be corrected:

  Many people think that the oil pan is taken out because vinegar is put under the pan, and oil is put on top of the vinegar. Since vinegar has a low boiling point, it moves upward when heated, and it looks like oil.

   But this is actually wrong.

  The boiling point of acetic acid is 118 degrees. Edible vinegar will form compounds due to the doping of water, which will also lead to azeotropic conditions. The boiling point is definitely not the so-called 40 degrees.

  The so-called boiling point of vinegar is only 40 degrees, and the temperature is only 35 degrees when human hands rise into the pot, which is also a rumor that appeared out of nowhere.

   Actually.

  The reason for this kind of seemingly oil boiling, but actually low temperature.

  In fact, it is because there are substances such as calcium carbonate and boric acid that are easy to generate gas when heated, forming a false boiling phenomenon under the oil pan.

  So if any unlucky person really crosses, remember not to add vinegar to the bottom of the pot.

   Otherwise it’s Melody watching a little movie and taking little pills—more fun.

all in all.

  These small tricks that seem extremely simple in later generations can deceive many people in the Northern Song Dynasty. Or any feudal dynasty in ancient times.

  In addition, Song Huizong was a relatively foolish emperor, so Guo Jing's success in front of him was not at all what Xu Yun expected.

   Then Lao Su suddenly thought of something, and asked:

   "But Xiao Wang, the old man heard that in addition to subduing demons, the master can also deduce the past and present, and grasp the power of the world. How did he do it?"

  Xu Yun scratched his head in embarrassment, and pointed to himself:

   "To tell you the truth, the so-called thoroughness of the master's ability."

   "Actually, it's just that the villain determined the time of the Xingbo and Ludong earthquake through calculations, and Master Guo 'predicted' it."

  Old Su was taken aback when he heard the words, and then Xu Yun's preparations for observing the telescope flashed through his mind, and suddenly said:

   "That's why you waited for more than ten days before starting to observe after the lens was made?"

   "The old man thought Xingbo was just a coincidence."

   "But...this kind of celestial phenomena and earthquakes can also be calculated by humans?"

  Xu Yun's mouth twitched a few times:

".sure."

   Finished speaking.

  He silently added two words in his heart:

   It's strange.

  Not to mention the Song Dynasty, even in later generations, comets and earthquakes are extremely difficult to calculate.

   Comet is better to say something.

  A 100-kilometer celestial body that is approaching the sun has a probability of being discovered by an infrared telescope when it is about 50 AU from the earth.

  When the distance from the earth is about 28 astronomical units, there is a high probability that it will be detected by the Hubble Space Telescope based on the color.

  The speed of this type of interstellar celestial body relative to the sun is usually within 40 kilometers per second, which is very slow compared to the distance.

  Therefore, after a few years of supercomputing, there is a high probability that the time that can be observed by the naked eye can be accurately determined.

   But earthquakes are different.

  Even in the 21st century, no country can predict earthquakes with 100% accuracy.

   At most, after an earthquake occurs at the epicenter, the characteristics of electromagnetic waves faster than seismic waves are used to allow people farther away to take protective measures in advance.

  And this is only a prototype-level technology, the practical effect is very general, and the promotional significance is greater than the actual value.

  Xu Yun can remember these two things purely because he is a time traveler:

  The comet is because it appeared at the same time as Cai Boyu's death time, which originated from childhood records.

  The earthquake happened because it just happened on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the day was not bad.

  In addition, Huizong came to the throne this year, and he will never forget it.

   Just follow the original time trajectory.

  At this time, the Empress Dowager Xiang had not passed away, so Zhao Ji was only exempted from Lu Dong's yearly endowment, and the whole thing went through relatively smoothly.

   This is also one of the core reasons why Guo Jing is willing to listen to Xu Yun after taking over the position:

  Whatever Song Huizong and court officials looked at him, he looked at Xu Yun.

  If at the beginning Guo Jing was only under pressure, then when a few prophecies happened, he really regarded Xu Yun as a god.

   It's a pity that Lao Su didn't know that he was being fooled by Xu Yun—on the contrary, combined with Xu Yun's previous performance, he believed this statement 80% to 90%.

  Think here.

  His eyes could not help showing a trace of deep doubt:

   "Xiao Wang, since you can guarantee the safety of Uncle Wen Qingzhao, why did you do such a thing?"

Note:

   Is there any friend who read our book the day before yesterday or yesterday, and tell me where you read it? The increase in collections in the past two days is very strange

   Decided, buy K50!

   Recently, some long comments or comments with sensitive words will be blocked due to the reasons before and after the meeting. I didn’t delete them.
