[Three Kingdoms] Burning incense and sacrificial wine

What can Cui Song say?Is it the "Leyton Frost effect [1]" to say that stepping on fire without injury, and the "placebo effect [2]" to drink talisman water to cure all diseases?

Even if he explained these two principles, it would probably be difficult for the ancients to agree.

Feeling the focused gazes around him, Cui Song felt that he was really wronged by the gun.

"Brother Cui, what do you think?" Seeing that he didn't speak, You Heng repeated, as if there were two hooks hidden in his eyes, insisting on hooking out his insides.

Cui Song really wanted to answer no, but even though he was forcibly dragged into the pit by Mi Heng, he was also favored by Mi Heng, who helped him out of the siege intentionally or unintentionally.If he turned his head and left at this moment, it would be unkind to let Mi Heng be criticized here alone.

Cui Song thought for a while, and said, "Song dare not talk about alchemy, but the ability to step on fire and drink talismans may not be a strange force."

This can be regarded as implicitly agreeing with Mi Heng.

Among the crowd, the scholars who disapproved of the other party's sorcery and witchcraft did not say a word, and the scholars who were jealous but neutral and self-reliant watched silently. Shi Jie's face was tense, and his eyes wandered back and forth between the two.

At this time, a young scholar who was dressed in commoner clothes and hadn't said a few words when everyone hated you Heng took a step forward and said politely, "Dare to ask your opinion."

Cui Song didn't dare to say a word, and got straight to the point: "Song once read anecdotes, one of which recorded similar tricks. If you know the secrets, everyone may become a god-like fairy teacher."

The young scholar asked with a smile: "What's the secret?"

"Just talking about this 'jumping through fire without hurting' technique, one thing is enough."

"What?"

"water."

There was a moment of silence in the crowd, and one person sneered:

"Water puts out the fire, who doesn't know? But what the thief walked away was not the extinguished brazier, but the raging fire. Cui Jun's words, are you joking?"

They were discussing the ability of the leader of the Yellow Turbans to walk on fire without being hurt. What did Cui Song mean by water?Who doesn't know that water can put out a fire, is walking on fire the same as walking on ashes put out by water?

"Why did I ever say that I need to pour water on the brazier?" Cui Song straightened his back and looked at the man without hesitation, "Just immerse your feet in the water for half a breath, and then walk barefoot on the fire, and you will be able to retreat completely. No damage at all."

"Extremely ridiculous." One person scolded in a low voice, "Water can overcome fire, how can a small amount of water resist the prairie fire?"

Although the others didn't say anything, their eyes were full of disapproval.

Although water can extinguish a fire, the premise is that there must be a corresponding amount. If you immerse your feet in the water and then take them out, how many drops of water can you get on them?I'm afraid those water droplets will be evaporated as soon as your feet touch the fire, so what's the use?

Cui Song did not defend himself.

He didn't want to explain to them that when a liquid encounters extreme heat suddenly, it will produce an insulating gaseous protective layer, which can insulate a large amount of heat in a short period of time, and he doesn't want to explain that water vapor conducts heat much slower than liquid.The fact that the Leidenfrost effect [1] involves thermodynamics does seem like nonsense to these people.

After all, Cui Song didn't expect them to accept this explanation.Even if some people believe that "stepping on fire without getting hurt" is due to getting wet, I am afraid that some people will attribute it to "blessing of the water god" and will not understand the role played by the form of water.

As for drinking talisman water to cure diseases, either the cured person is a babysitter, or it is the placebo effect [2], which involves the field of psychology, and it is even more difficult to explain.

Unexpectedly, Cui Song's refusal to refute is lack of confidence in the eyes of interested people.

The few people who questioned before were about to laugh again, when Mi Heng tore off the jade crown from his head and threw it heavily on the ground.

The few people closest to him were taken aback, wondering why this arrogant and rude guy was going crazy.

After Mi Heng threw off the crown, her hair was disheveled, she took off her coat, and threw it aside.

Several self-restraint and courtesy scholars were stunned by his behavior: "The clothes are disheveled, how decent!"

Mi Heng ignored them: "Bring fire."

Cui Song looked at him suddenly: "Could it be that you want to—"

Mi Heng snorted coldly: "Ask knowingly."

Cui Song was very choked up, but he couldn't give up persuading him: "It's just a matter of words, why bother." In order to argue with others for right and wrong, risking his own life, is it worth it?

"Qubark, how can I keep it in my heart?" You Heng sneered, kicked off the clogs, and stepped on the river mud by the pond, "But the barks don't stop, it's disturbing to hear them, if you don't let them open their eyes, don't worry about it." The Shu dog barks at the sun, but the cicada does not know the snow."

Originally, he was shocked by Mi Heng's behavior, because he put himself at risk to test the truth, and the scholars who were convinced by his courage, after hearing the ridicule immediately after, gave themselves a slap in the heart, and sent You Heng is pulled back to the blacklist.

The commoner who spoke to Cui Song before persuaded him softly: "Sitting in the hall, why put yourself in danger?" He implied that what Cui Song said may not be true. burns.

It may not be true, but in the eyes of these scholars, Cui Song's words are fallacies, and this Mi Heng still wants to step on the brazier, what is it not to die?Thinking about it, this person is not only crazy, but also very crazy.

The commoner probably had good intentions, but Ni Heng didn't appreciate it, and didn't even look at the other party directly: "The neighbor is mourning, pretending."

The commoner scholar stopped talking.

Cui Song felt that he was under a lot of pressure.

Although he knew that there was such a theory, he didn't study thermodynamics. It can be said that he knew what it was but didn't know why, he just knew the term.What's more, practice and theory are different. The most important condition to achieve this phenomenon is: the temperature of fire must be higher than the Leidenfrost point of water.However, this point is related to water quality and water temperature, and he will not count it.

If the temperature of the fire did not reach the point of Leidenfrost, then Mi Heng, who stepped on the fire, would probably be burned into a roasted pig's trotter.

While feeling the pressure, Cui Song also had some doubts——

Mi Heng's words and deeds have always been unexpected, and it is not uncommon for him to want to take part in the battle to try himself out.But didn't he ever think that what he said might be all nonsense?Aren't you afraid of being tricked by yourself?

Cui Song couldn't help reminding Mi Heng in a low voice, but received the caring eyes of the other party.

"If it's useless, I'll get out of the brazier in time, so what's the matter with me?—It's you," You Heng looked him up and down, and said with no good intentions. gone."

The first half of the sentence sounded open-minded, but Ni Heng chose to continue with a sarcasm, which completely changed the deep meaning of the whole sentence.

Still sounded like he was gloating at his misfortune.

If Cui Song hadn't learned about Mi Heng's works through history, he might have been annoyed by him.

Cui Song couldn't help thinking of the god of ridicule in "Greek Mythology", Momus, who was so similar to Mi Heng that he really wanted to popularize this Western god with Mi Heng and ask him what he thinks.

At this time, the servants in the garden brought dozens of braziers, lined up one by one, forming a three-foot-long fire path.

Mi Heng walked a few steps into the river until the water was below his knees, then rolled up his sleeves and came ashore slowly to the brazier.

Without saying a word, he just stepped on it.

There were a few whispers from all around.

Without changing his face, Mi Heng walked the entire fire path with his head held high.

Afterwards, the healer brought by the servants checked his feet and made sure that there were no signs of burns, and no medicine was needed.

Cui Song secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, a commoner man came towards him, "I have great knowledge and knowledge, and Jiang Zun admires it. I don't know where the words of walking through water and fire come from, but I hope you will not hesitate to enlighten me."

With a buzzing sound, his head seemed to have been hit by a metal rod.

Which book is the theory from?

Naturally, it comes from "Physics XX Collected Solutions", but this is obviously not something that can be announced.

Cui Song hesitated for a moment, unable to make up a suitable title for the book, so he said: "It's just a miscellaneous book that I read when I was young, but I never paid attention to it."

The scholar who claimed to be Jiang Zun seemed a little sorry, seeing Mi Heng coming, he consciously said goodbye.

As soon as Mi Heng came over, the first thing he said was: "Which book did you read about this method of fire?"

Cui Song repeated the wording just now, only to get Mi Heng's skeptical gaze of "I will believe you?"

Knowing Mi Heng's difficulties, Cui Songzhen said casually: "This is an isolated copy. It's called "Heavenly Creation."

Cui Song has no pressure to quote the title of a famous science and technology book from the Ming Dynasty.

If you want to expose him, Mi Heng will live another thousand years.

"Heavenly Creation..." Mi Heng chewed on the title of the book that fits his aesthetics very well, and felt that the author of this book must be a strange person, so he could write things that the world cannot know.

What did Mi Heng say to Cui Song again.Cui Song listened puzzledly for a long time, and after Mi Heng went around several times, he realized that Mi Heng wanted to read it with the help of "Heavenly Creation".

However, where can Cui Song find "Heavenly Creations" to show Mi Heng.Not only is there no modern "Physics XX Collection", even the real "Tiangong Kaiwu" from the Ming Dynasty is nowhere to be found.

Cui Song can only say calmly: "It is lost today."

Sorry, I lost the book and can't give it to you.

Against Mi Heng's suspicious eyes, Cui Song was extremely calm.He "couldn't find" the book in the first place, and he didn't lie to him.

Perhaps it was because Mi Heng's actions just now were too crazy in the eyes of many scholars, and he was no less than a desperado; or maybe those scholars lost a city and their morale plummeted, so they stopped besieging You Heng. Today, only five or ten people gathered together to discuss classics or comment on current affairs, but they dissipated their anger and concentrated on academic exchanges.

However, before Mi Heng came over, they also quarreled endlessly over a small issue.

Cui Song felt that Ni Heng probably made an indelible contribution to the harmony among scholars.

Because of Mi Heng's presence, the scholars consciously took a detour, and even Cui Song was successfully purified.

Cui Song was planning to hang out by the river all afternoon to get rid of this headache of literary meetings, why not Ni Heng suddenly took out the wooden tablet, knife and pen from his bosom, and carved lines of words on the wooden tablet with flying brushwork.

In the blink of an eye, Mi Heng carved three lines.

Cui Song faintly felt bad.

"You are..."

You Heng didn't lift his head: "As a Fu."

"..."

After not getting a response for a long time, Mi Heng waited for a short period of engraving, then looked up, and there was no one in front of him, only a dead tree standing opposite him, swaying against the cold wind.

Mi Heng who still wants to pull the other party to make Fu together: ...

The author has something to say: [1] Leidenfrost effect: When a liquid is suddenly heated (reaching the characteristics of Leidenfrost), it will vaporize to form a suspended heat insulation layer, which blocks heat in a short time.

[2] Placebo effect: A phenomenon in which patients do not receive treatment, but because they believe that the treatment is effective, the disease is slowed down or cured without medicine.For example: taking vitamin C as a painkiller by mistake, the result is that the pain is really relieved.
