The villain and I have eight hundred minds combined
Chapter 105: The Candle Trick (2)
"Don't listen to her nonsense. What she's talking about is just jealousy of our Master Tong!" shouted the servant standing behind Master Tong.
"That's right! Don't listen to an outsider's nonsense!"
Several servants started shouting again, but some of the townspeople began to frown and think, and stopped joining in the shouting, as if they were moved by Mu Hanxing's words.
"Hmph, forget it. Since you just said that the candles in my Tong family are useless, then come in with me!" Master Tong said as he took a group of servants and walked through the door into the Dragon King Temple.
Just at this time, Jingchen returned from Huajing.
Mu Hanxing looked back at him, and that look meant: The time has been set for you, you just have to perform well, or I will kill you if you mess up.
Jingchen received the threatening signal in her eyes and nodded calmly, saying: Don't worry.
A group of people stood in the Dragon King Temple, led by the master of the Tong family. When they saw the dragon statue, they first worshiped it, then closed the door and the only window. Not even a fly could get into the secret room. Outside the house, the sky was clear and the sun was bright, with no wind or rain.
Jing Chen put his hands in his sleeves and said, "Since the Tong family's candles will not go out, what if they suddenly go out?"
Master Tong immediately glared: "This is impossible! The fire in my Tong family is blessed by the Dragon King, and it can burn all night long!"
Jing Chen just smiled faintly: "Since you are so confident, why not show it to me."
"Show him quickly!" Master Tong immediately ordered the servants.
A servant nearby hurriedly took out a candle from the prepared wooden box. The candle was no different from an ordinary candle, except that it was surrounded by a cover with the word "exorcism" printed on it. It was pretending to be a holy object just because it was covered with a cover?
Jing Chen didn't care about the holy items for worshiping the Dragon King. He walked to the altar with a cold look and a nonchalant movement. He lowered his head to glance at the candlestick, which didn't look anything special. Then he took out a small metal object from his sleeve and installed it on the candlestick. He turned around and held out his hand: "Give it to me."
Perhaps he was intimidated by his cold and unattainable look, the servant holding the candle quickly handed it over with a look of awe when he heard his words.
Then Jingchen pressed the open flame candle under the metal-like object and deliberately moved the front end of the candle downwards, leaving only a small part exposed.
When Mr. Tong saw this situation, his face changed immediately.
Mu Hanxing caught his panicked expression and knew at a glance that Jingchen had broken the game.
I only heard Jingchen say, "Wait."
Everyone held their breath and watched intently. Many people who came to watch the fun were waiting outside the Dragon King Temple anxiously. There was a gap in the temple door, and countless people were leaning on the doorway, using one eye to see what was happening inside the temple.
After waiting for a while, I heard a crisp "pop" sound, and then the candle went out automatically.
Several people in the temple were stunned for a moment. Many of them were relatively objective and said in horror: "This is clearly the Tong family's open flame candle, how could it suddenly go out by itself! Could it be that the open flame candle is useless!?"
Jingchen explained, "This is just a very simple automatic fire extinguishing device. This device is made for the purpose of saving money and preventing fire. A metal buckle is put on the candle. There is a spring inside the buckle. When the candle burns for a while, the opening of the buckle gradually closes due to the shortening of the height. Finally, the box automatically closes and the candle is extinguished."
Mu Hanxing's eyes lit up. So that's how it was. As a modern person, she quickly understood it. However, the people present were not that stupid. Judging from their expressions, they seemed to have gradually reacted.
In order to let everyone see it clearly again, Jingchen asked the servant to take another open flame candle from the box. Then he took the metal buckle from the previous candle and put it on the new one. He demonstrated it again. He put the metal buckle on the outside of the lit candle and pushed the metal buckle upwards. With a "pop", the opening at the top closed and the flame was extinguished.
This is the principle used.
Everyone was shocked.
The people who were eavesdropping outside the Dragon King Temple heard everything and couldn't help but be shocked.
Mu Hanxing quickly took the opportunity to say, "Your Master Tong, in order to make you trust him and sell ordinary candles at a high price, probably installed this candle-extinguishing device at night when the Dragon King Temple was first built, in an attempt to make you think that the Dragon King is angry, and after you are frightened and at a loss, he can control you and make you listen to him, buy things from his Tong family, and make huge profits from it."
"Enough! Why do you say this to me without any evidence? I have done so much for Huaiyu Town over the years, and you outsiders are slandering me like this! It's simply lawless!" Master Tong was furious and pointed at the three of them and shouted angrily.
"Since you can't prove anything, get out of Huaiyu Town!" Master Tong said, ordering the servants, "Go ahead, drive these three out!"
"enough!"
Suddenly, Long Jin became furious, and his whole appearance changed instantly. His eyes turned red gold, dragon horns were faintly visible on his forehead, and dragon scales appeared on his skin because of anger. He conjured up a spear with his bare hands and pointed the spear head at the thugs rushing towards him.
A group of mortals had never seen such a posture, let alone such a dragon bone. They froze all over in an instant, and the sticks in their hands fell to the ground in fear. They stepped back and grabbed Master Tong's clothes for protection.
Master Tong had never seen one before. Even though he had traveled a lot and was knowledgeable, he had never seen a real member of the dragon clan. His face was frozen and he looked like a wooden chicken.
"This temple is for worship, and I have nothing against it. But you are scheming and trying to use these little tricks to deceive mortals. I can't stand people like you! You still want to govern a place? Humph, it's simply a fantasy!" Long Jin said, and swung his gun fiercely, instantly poking all the open flame candles in the box in front of him into pieces.
The people outside who heard the noise could no longer wait. I don't know who broke open the door first, and then a group of people swarmed in and saw Long Jin's shot. There were many impulsive people in the crowd who were about to roll up their sleeves and beat people up. But when Long Jin turned his head to take a look, those people were stunned for a moment.
They clearly saw the dragon horns on Long Jin's head and the dragon scales on his skin!
"Dragon, he is a dragon!" someone shouted in horror.
This shout shocked everyone even more.
At this time, Master Tong suddenly shouted in the crowd: "No! This is all a scam! I don't know what kind of tricks these three outsiders have used to destroy our Tong family's reputation, and now they are pretending to be the Dragon King. They just want to make things difficult for the Tong family! Let's kick them out together!"
Mu Hanxing sighed. This man was beyond saving. She couldn't do anything about Long Jin's rage.
