Zhou Hexuan rinsed the mutton and asked: "Brother Ha, do you really believe that Liu Shenxian can do magic?"
Fan Haer was stunned and replied: "I'm afraid I can't explain this kind of thing clearly."
Zhou Hexuan explained: "The day before the fight, I asked Commander Liu about the Taoist priest's usual spells, so I was already prepared. His talisman spontaneously ignited without fire. It looked very supernatural, but in fact it was stained with white phosphorus. White phosphorus
The ignition point is very low. Ordinary paper needs more than 100 degrees to burn. Apply white phosphorus to it and it will burn at 30 degrees."
"What about the one that turns to ice when it touches water?" Fan Haer asked again.
"Taoist Liu hid saltpeter in his sleeve. Every time he chanted a mantra and splashed the water, he would quietly throw a piece in. Because the amount of saltpeter is relatively small, it melts quickly when it enters the water, so it is difficult for others to detect it," Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.
The method of making ice had been invented in the late Tang Dynasty. By the Song Dynasty, some people even used saltpeter to make iced drinks in the summer and sell them for money."
"That's so verbose," Fan Ha'er asked, although he didn't know what saltpeter and white phosphorus were, but he still understood. "What about you? How did you turn the entire plate of water into ice all at once?"
Zhou Hexuan smiled and popularized science: "Under normal circumstances, water will freeze when it reaches zero. But if there is a lack of condensation nuclei, water below zero is still water. This kind of water is called supercooled water. I have already made a basin of supercooled water.
Cover it with a thick towel to prevent the supercooled water from coming into contact with condensation nuclei in the air. As long as you uncover the towel and touch it lightly, the supercooled water will freeze immediately."
The more Fan Haer listened, the more confused he became. He could only giggle and said: "Brother Zhou is still knowledgeable. Those who have drank foreign ink will know more than us rotten people."
"Haha, this is called science." Zhou Hexuan attended Peking University in his previous life. Although he was a liberal arts student, how could he not understand basic physics and chemistry?
The two chatted while eating hot pot. After drinking for three rounds, Fan Haer unbuttoned his belt and said with a big belly: "Brother Zhou, I'm going to Shanghai in two days. Do you want to come and play with me?"
"
"I still have business to do in Chongqing, so I won't accompany you." Zhou Hexuan said.
"That's okay, you go about your business," Fan Ha'er said. "I built a Fan Village over at Shangqing Temple in Chongqing. It is estimated that it will be completed this year. Next time you come to Chongqing, go directly to Fan Village to see me. We will
You two have a good time reminiscing about old times."
"I will definitely pay you a visit when the time comes," Zhou Hexuan raised his glass, "I would like to toast Brother Ha again and wish you a smooth trip to Shanghai."
"Easy to say, easy to say, done!" Fan Haer raised his neck and drank.
The two of them got drunk and left the restaurant respectively. Zhou Hexuan returned to the hotel with the support of Sun Yongzhen.
As soon as I returned to the hotel room, I saw a few more people in the room, Luo Zezhou, his attendants, and a pitiful young girl.
Zhang Mouzhi said anxiously: "Xian son-in-law, you are finally back. This military master has something to do with you."
Luo Zezhou came over to please him and said with a smile: "Immortal Lord, my disciple has come to greet you and brought a greeting gift to the Immortal Lord."
What the hell?
Zhou Hexuan looked at the girl with confusion. He saw that she was wearing a coarse cloth dress and her family background was probably very ordinary. However, the girl had her hair cut short at the ears. In Sichuan, where the atmosphere is relatively conservative, she was probably a progressive female student.
Luo Zezhou smiled evilly and explained: "Immortal Lord, are you satisfied with this girl? My disciple specially helped you find her. Her name is Yang Shufen. She studies at Kaiming School. She can also write articles and speak foreign languages."
Zhou Hexuan said angrily: "How dare you rob a civilian girl!"
"Immortal Lord, you misunderstood, it was not stolen," Luo Zezhou said quickly, "I spent 300 oceans to buy it from her mother (parents) with real money. There was absolutely no forced sale!"
"Go away!" Zhou Hexuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with this bastard.
Unexpectedly, the girl named Yang Shufen actually knelt down in front of Zhou Hexuan: "Mr. Zhou, please accept me. I can do laundry, cooking and everything, and I can also grind ink for you, read
newspaper."
Zhou Hexuan was sweating violently, supported the girl and said: "Get up quickly!"
"If Mr. Zhou doesn't agree, I won't get up." The girl was so anxious that she shed tears.
Zhou Hexuan instantly understood the situation. The girl had been bought by Luo Zezhou. And Luo Zezhou was a demon king. If Zhou Hexuan didn't accept her, the girl's fate would be very miserable.
What the hell kind of world is this?
"Okay then, you can follow me from now on." Zhou Hexuan decided to send the girl home another day.
The girl was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou!"
Luo Zezhou also became happy. The bastard warlord said with great anticipation: "Immortal Lord, can you accept me as your direct disciple?"
Zhou Hexuan put on a serious face and coughed: "Ahem, I don't accept disciples in the mortal world, nor do I teach immortal magic to others."
Luo Zezhou said hurriedly: "You can also be a registered disciple, I don't learn magic."
Zhou Hexuan had a troubled look on his face, and said calmly: "Then I will reluctantly accept you as my only named disciple."
"Thank you Master!"
Luo Zezhou knelt in front of Zhou Hexuan and shouted at his attendants: "If you don't hurry up and set up the incense altar, I will kowtow and become my master!"
Zhou Hexuan looked unhappy and shouted: "Whose father are you?"
"Don't dare, don't dare, my disciple made a mistake." Luo Zezhou looked horrified.
What is this mess?
Thirty years after the taxation of farmland in Sichuan was reduced, the traitors committed all kinds of plunder and robbery. The "Emperor Luo" Luo Zezhou, whom everyone feared, turned out to be a fool who believed in gods!
Isn't he afraid that what he has done will lead to the eighteenth level of hell after death?
Luo Zezhou had already prepared, and the incense and candles were quickly placed on the table. He kowtowed several times while holding tea, and looked at Zhou Hexuan expectantly.
Zhou Hexuan stretched out his finger and touched Luo Zezhou's forehead, pretending to be a ghost and saying: "I accept disciples without following the customary etiquette, and now I give you the dharma title 'Tongxu'. To join my sect, you must abide by the three major precepts."
Luo Zezhou said: "Master, please speak."
"First, you must not harm the people. Can you abide by it?" Zhou Hexuan asked.
Luo Zezhou was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
Zhou Hexuan added: "Second, we must abide by Chinese orthodoxy. If foreign barbarians invade China, such as the Japanese, you must serve the country loyally. Are you willing to abide by it?"
"Yes." Luo Zezhou replied immediately.
Zhou Hexuan continued: "Third, we must respect our teachers and respect our teachings, and we must not bully our teachers and destroy our ancestors. Have you ever written this down?"
"I remember." Luo Zezhou said.
"Okay then, take the oath." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.
Luo Zezhou immediately raised three fingers and swore: "Disciple Luo Zezhou, whose Dharma name is Tongxu. Now that he has joined the sect of Emperor Donghua, he must abide by the sect's precepts. In the future, he will respect his master, treat the people well, and support Chinese orthodoxy. If you violate this oath,
, heaven and earth will be destroyed, five thunders will strike the top!"
Zhou Hexuan recited a spell randomly, slapped Luo Zezhou on the head, and threatened: "I have left the imprint of the Immortal Family on your soul. As long as you violate your oath, you will have no peace after death, and you will not be reincarnated. You will be an orphan for tens of millions of years."
Ghost."
Luo Zezhou turned pale with fright and said quickly: "Disciples must not break their oaths."
Zhou Hexuan calculated with his fingers and said: "You will have a great calamity in the near future, and you must do good deeds and accumulate virtue to resolve it. Remember, remember!"
"Disciple, remember this!" Luo Zezhou said in surprise.
Zhou Hexuan just said it to scare this guy, but what he didn't expect was that he actually got it right.
Just like in history, not long after Luo Zezhou left Chongqing and returned to his base, his harsh treatment of soldiers led to a mutiny. He was severely investigated and punished by his boss Deng Xihou. After his release, he went to join Li Jiayu, and from then on he became more convinced of Zhou Hexuan's power.
Although this guy did not change his nature and continued to exact taxes and levies, he eventually died on the anti-Japanese front line, which was much more glorious than committing suicide by swallowing ointment in history.
