Meng Yan's Transformation

Chapter 207: Revelation 2

Everyone looked at each other and fell silent again.

"Okay, okay, everyone be quiet. You haven't practiced walking on a knife mountain before, so don't imitate blindly. It's easy to get hurt. If no one tries, let's do the iron shoes performance." Zhan Yu said.

After Zhang Xincheng put the plowshare in the fire and heated it red, Zhan Yu put his foot into the iron blade, and heard a hissing sound and white smoke. Yun Qing and Zhan Yingying rushed over and wanted to pour water on Zhan Yu's feet, but were stopped by Zhan Yu.

Everyone screamed in fear.

Zhang Xincheng brought a chair for Zhan Yu to sit on. Zhan Yu raised his feet high, and everyone stared at him. Zhan Yu's feet were not burned at all.

"Now, please let Xincheng answer the questions for everyone. I'm going to wash my feet." Zhan Yu said.

Zhang Xincheng held the vinegar bottle in one hand and the ointment in the other and said, "Uncle Zhan, before putting your feet in, apply anti-scalding medicine on them and dip them in the vinegar basin. Then put your feet into the iron blade as quickly as possible. When the vinegar on your feet hit the fire, it started to make a noise and smoke. You pulled your feet out immediately before they burned your feet, so everyone thought it was because your feet were burning and making noises and smoke. In fact, it was a chemical reaction caused by the vinegar when it met heat."

"Oh, it seems that I need to study more. Look at Xincheng, he knows so much at such a young age."

"Yes, yes, I put what I learned into practice, and the explanation is very clear."

"Wang Baoqin is really good at giving birth. She gave birth to a promising son. He will definitely have a bright future..."

Everyone was praising Zhang Xincheng. Wang Baoqin was very angry. She was angry that Zhang Xincheng went home without warning and came up to make trouble. At this time, she saw everyone praising her son. She felt proud and happy. The angry expression on her face instantly turned into a gentle smile. She straightened her back and accepted the envious looks from people...

After washing his feet, Zhan Yu put on his shoes and continued, "As for the red date eating performance, I won't perform it because of time constraints and my lack of practice. When performing, you first hold a mouthful of vinegar in your mouth, and when you put the small iron in your mouth, make sure that the iron does not touch your lips and tongue, and only reacts in the vinegar in your mouth, emitting white smoke. But this requires some hard practice beforehand, otherwise it is easy to get burned."

"Isn't this the chemical reaction that Zhang Xincheng mentioned just now, when vinegar meets heat?" asked a man next to Zhang Ershuanzi. His wife pinched his ear and said, "You know nothing. Don't ask nonsense questions, or you'll make people laugh. Just listen quietly."

Everyone laughed.

"Uncle Zhan, what's the matter with holding a knife in the mouth to exorcise ghosts and taking pills with bare hands?" Zhang Ershuanzi asked.

"Holding the knife in the mouth to drive away ghosts, this move also needs to be practiced in advance. First practice holding the knife in the mouth to increase the strength of your teeth, then practice hitting the knife, clench your teeth. As long as your teeth are clenched tightly, and the blade becomes thicker as it goes outward, you can use this resistance. In addition, you are holding the knife yourself, which is easy to control. If you use appropriate force, it will not be able to be smashed in. As for taking pills from the air, using an empty bowl to get water, and using an empty fire to get wine, these are completely folk magic performances. Taking pills uses the technique of "immortals picking beans", which mainly relies on the skill of pinching with fingers. Taking holy water from an empty bowl is a "empty cup turning into water" trick, and taking holy wine from an empty pot is a "empty pot turning into wine" trick. It is not a magical power of gods at all."

Zhan Yu also collaborated with Zhang Xincheng to perform tricks such as taking medicine from the air. The pills were made from a mixture of incense ash and wood ash.

Everyone asked Zhang Xincheng to continue explaining the magic trick. Zhang Xincheng said: "Magic tricks are a kind of trick. I will not reveal the secret to you. I will save it for the class New Year's Eve party. If everyone knows it, it will be useless. I will keep it as my own program."

"When that day comes, you secretly teach only me. I won't let you and I'll give you a reward." Zhang Ershuanzi whispered in Zhang Xincheng's ear.

"Let's talk about it later. You should just listen to Uncle Zhan's words quietly first..." Zhang Xincheng replied in a low voice.

Zhan Yu poured a glass of water for the two "great gods" who were sitting in the corner with their heads down, and continued, "I also heard that there is a kind of hanging guillotine. The "great gods" will not easily perform this trick unless they have no other choice. This performance requires two steel spikes to be inserted into the left and right shoulder bones. The steel spikes are smooth, round and rust-free. As long as there is no wind, no bleeding, and no infection, there is no other danger except pain. Then hang the guillotine on both ends of the spikes, endure the pain, and seek fame and fortune. After removing the guillotine, the "two great gods" will seal the wound with medicine, and it will heal in a few days."

"What great god? Turns out he's a liar..."

"We can't let them deceive us anymore..."

"Take them to the police station and let them face legal punishment..."

The crowd was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to rush forward to settle accounts with the "great gods". The two great gods hurriedly hid in the closet in the house.

Zhan Yu shouted to stop him.

"The revealing show ends here tonight. Please go home and have a rest! The patient needs a quiet rest..." Zhang Xincheng said loudly.

After everyone left tactfully, the two "great gods" walked out of the closet in a miserable state.
