The wind blew past the farmer's bamboo hat, causing the flame to flicker and extinguish.
In the light, in the light, Jin Xiaolou looked at the faces.
Ignorance was not scary. What was scary was ignorance without knowing it. Just like this group of villagers who were shouting "burn her to death", was there really any malicious intent in their hearts? Not necessarily, but it was most likely to be incited and used by those with a vicious heart.
In the midst of the villagers, Liu Jiedi was holding onto her ingot and laughing recklessly. At this moment, when she looked at Jin Xiaolou who was tied to a wooden stake, it was as if she was looking at a piece of meat on a knife board.
He wished that he could be the saber-wielding person and ruthlessly kill him with a single slash ..
Liu Yuyan waved her hand, causing Jin Shun and Jin Shou to walk forward and pull Huang Guizhi away.
"Grandmaster Deadwood, please help us get rid of this Demon Evil right now!" Liu Yuyan requested.
The white-browed monk received the torch from a green clothed disciple beside him. Just as he was about to walk forward, he heard Jin Xiaolou slowly say: "I know how to play this trick too."
The white-browed monk stared at Jin Xiaolou with cold eyes. Liu Yuyan was afraid that there would be more troubles, and immediately urged: "Master, what are you waiting for, burn her quickly!"
As long as she burned Jin Xiaolou to death, Gui Qi had no one to rely on anymore. Where else could she go?
And since the Golden Lin'er was raised within the Jin Family, it was the easiest for Liu Yuyan to keep him by her side. In the entire Jin Family, only the Madame Wu would compete with him, but as for the Madame Wu, that old thing, the person who half her body buried in the ground, she couldn't compete with him.
The Golden Lin'er was He Guangkun's biological son, so how could the Madame Wu possibly testify? The person Liu Yuyan was fighting for was a gold digger, a gold digger.
"Master Li Zheng!" Seeing that the White-browed Monk was not willing to listen to Jin Xiaolou and went straight forward, about to light up the firewood under the piles, Jin Xiaolou shouted, "Master Li Zheng, I can prove that the actions of this master are just a bluff and not trustworthy!"
Jin Xiaolou paused for a moment, then continued: "Little Lou has grown up in the village, and has never done anything that goes against heaven and earth, much less anything evil.
The crowd whispered to each other.
They did not believe that Jin Xiaolou was an evil being to begin with. They had witnessed what Jin Xiaolou was like, and even though she had changed a lot after giving birth to the child, they had never done anything bad to him.
Many villagers had to benefit from this. A few days ago, he had heard Carpenter Sun's Madame Ye mentioning it in the fields, and Little Lou had even planned to bring the entire village to become rich!
How could such a good person be evil? On the other hand, his Jin Family caused trouble for him everyday, causing him to be in chaos.
It was just that, this Talisman Paper started burning in front of Jin Xiaolou, it was so evil that the villagers had no choice but to believe it.
Just as she was clearing her throat, the sounds gradually died down. After the past few incidents, his heart was clear, this Jin Family was not a good person, she had put her heart and soul into it for Jin Xiaolou.
This time, Liu Yuyan was the one leading the group, and since she was not sure, she nodded: "Jin Xiaolou, how do you prove this?"
Jin Xiaolou laughed, then said: "I have only seen this kind of trick in Xin Ning today. A street acrobatic and performer from the martial arts world is most proficient in this kind of acting! "
Jin Xiaolou had never seen it before in the Xin Ning, she only wanted to find the source of the knowledge she had learnt from the middle school chemistry textbooks.
"If it's possible, I'll ask this Master Deadwood to bring out another Talisman Paper." Jin Xiaolou said to the white-browed monk.
The white-browed monk calmly took out a Talisman Paper from his sleeve and held it in front of Jin Xiaolou.
Jin Xiaolou looked at them and said, "Master Li Zheng, please come and take a sniff."
Li Zheng walked over and took the Talisman Paper from the white-browed monk's hands.
Li Zheng raised the Talisman Paper to his nose and took a deep breath, "Un .. "Nothing."
"Is that so?" Jin Xiaolou nodded her head, "Then, it looks like our Master is still quite cautious. Master, please take out all the Talisman Paper s from your sleeves."
Just as Jin Xiaolou finished speaking, Abbot Whitebrow's face froze.
"Also, please smell them one by one. I guess Master has prepared two types of Talisman Paper, one of which is in your hand, the most ordinary kind. If anyone suspects anything, you can take them out and use them as backup; the other type is a Talisman Paper with green flames that can ignite out of thin air. Master Li Zheng, if you smell any Talisman Paper that has the stench of garlic, it will be the second type. "
Hearing Jin Xiaolou's words, Abbot Whitebrow's face turned green.
Seeing Li Zheng looking at him with a solemn expression, Abbot Whitebrow could only take out all the Talisman Paper s from his sleeves, trembling.
Just as he was saying, he picked up the Talisman Paper s and smelled them one by one. Every time he smelled one, the white-browed monk's face would turn uglier.
Half of them were ordinary Talisman Paper s with no smell.
"Master Li Zheng, don't believe Jin Xiaolou's nonsense." Liu Yuyan could not hold her anger anymore, "These are all ordinary Evil Realm Talisman Paper, how could this be a trick, everyone don't be fooled by Jin Xiaolou! Grandmaster Deadwood was ..
Who knew that before Liu Yuyan could finish her words, she had already picked up the next Talisman Paper.
The faint smell of garlic assaulted his nose.
"Alright, next, please pick up the limestone." Jin Xiaolou said.
Li Zheng bent down and touched the stone slab. He then frowned, "This stone slab is hot."
Liu Yuyan shouted: "How is it hot, it's just a little warm, this warm limestone is at most a warm hand, it's impossible to ignite a Talisman Paper!"
"Liu Yuyan, what are you so anxious about?" Jin Xiaolou retorted, "Besides, how did you know that the stone tablet is warm? Could it be that you were the one who prepared this bluestone slab? "
"You .." Liu Yuyan choked, the stone tablet was actually prepared by her. Master Deadwood said that he needed a small stone tablet to roast it in the fire for a while.
They had just been looking for Jin Xiaolou a while, and they hadn't found him yet. Liu Yuyan was still worried in her heart, what if the stone tablets did not get hot?
After finding Jin Xiaolou and tying him to the wooden stake, Liu Yuyan intentionally touched the stone tablet a little. It was already warm to the touch, but to say that the piece of paper was ignited, that was impossible.
Thus, when Master Deadwood placed the Talisman Paper on top, Liu Yuyan broke out into a cold sweat. She had never expected that a master was actually a master.
Jin Xiaolou smirked: "Sir Li Zheng, please place the stone tablet in front of Liu Yuyan!"
Of course, Jin Xiaolou knew that these stone tablets only had a little bit of warmth, as long as it was around 40 degrees, he could just warm her hands.
The white phosphorus in the humid air was igniting at a temperature of no more than 40 degrees Celsius. This little bit of residual heat touched the warm blue stone, just right!
Jin Xiaolou was able to see through White-browed Monk's trick with a glance. In this era, the methods that people could use to scare people were only at the Junior High Level.
Nine years of compulsory education was really good, successfully getting rid of feudal superstition and entering science.
"Next, Sir Li Zheng, put this stinky Talisman Paper in your hands onto the stone floor." Jin Xiaolou had the aura of someone controlling everything.
When the Talisman Paper was placed on the stone slab, after about a few moments, it let out a pfft and started burning.
The flames were still green, and looked quite frightening.
"Liu Yuyan, do you admit that you're evil?" Jin Xiaolou asked, and in the next moment she answered her own question, "Of course you won't admit to it, because as long as the Talisman Paper is placed on the warm stone slab, no matter who it is, it will burn in front of them."
"This... "What's going on?" He could see that the stinky Talisman Paper and the limestone had problems, but why did it light up?
"Have you all seen the Ghost Flame on a hot summer night?" Jin Xiaolou explained.
The moment he said this, almost all the villagers responded enthusiastically.
In the countryside, who hadn't seen green will-o '-the-wisps a few times?
"Then don't you guys think that this weird light is similar to the ghost fire?" Jin Xiaolou continued to ask.
Someone said, "It does look like it. It's all green."
"That's right, because the principle behind the Ghost Flame and the Talisman Paper's light are the same!" Jin Xiaolou sighed, this extremely intense scene, where she had actually become the popularization of the white phosphorus traits in the countryside's knowledge classrooms, had actually become so intense that it had ignited the evil spirits.
"After the person died, the corpse decayed, the calcium phosphate inside the skeleton became hydrogen phosphide, and came out from the soil. The summer air was hot and humid, the burning point of phosphorus was very low, and it was very easy to ignite, forming the ghost fire as you all saw it."
Seeing everyone's blank faces, Jin Xiaolou realized that she had said too much and coughed, busily saying, "This is all what I heard from Xin Ning and the acrobatics group. I heard from them that as long as they spread the white phosphorous on the paper, it would be ignited if the temperature was slightly higher! They are even more powerful. They just hold the paper in their hands, and when they rub their fingers, the temperature of their hands can ignite the paper. "
"However, it's very easy to burn yourself like this. I think Master Deadwood got someone to prepare this piece of limestone for his own sake."
Jin Xiaolou looked at Master Deadwood. Master's two white brows drooped, and he was no longer calm like before. At this moment, his face was extremely ugly.
Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that there would be a second person other than him who knew of these methods in this barren and remote place.
One had to know that Deadwood had gone to the capital all those years ago to become a great master. It had taken him a great deal of effort to learn this move and this move.
Seeing that the matter was exposed, Liu Yuyan gnashed her teeth in anger. In order to invite Deadwood, she spent five taels of silver.
Liu Jiedi was so angry that she almost bit her tongue to pieces. The veins on her neck bulged, she placed her treasure on the ground, rushed out of the crowd and rushed straight to the front: "Master, I have something to report!"
Li Zheng waved his hand. "If you have anything to say, say it in the future."
After he finished speaking, he no longer paid any attention to Liu Jiedi and spoke to the others. "Everyone settle down first.
Then, he turned to Abbot Whitebrow. "Grandmaster Deadwood, you have prestige in our village. Don't be conceited and fall into depravity. Quickly go back into the temple. This matter is overturned."
Deadwood's face alternated between green and white for a moment. He was already giving Deadwood face by not punishing him in any way.
Just as she was about to leave, Liu Jiedi extended her hand out and blocked her path: "Master, Huang Guizhi has the plague, we cannot wait!"
