Chapter 19: Who is stronger and who is weak

Chen Wanrong's wine glass was mostly half a glass of wine. Sima Chengzhen waved his hand and a silver needle floated on it. This was to use the surface tension of the liquid, and Chen Wanrong was not surprised at all. What surprised Chen Wanrong was Sima Chengzhen's skillful technique. Chen Wanrong also demonstrated this experiment at Ningxian Academy. It took a lot of effort to finish it. Just like Sima Chengzhen's weightlifting was as light as Sima Chengzhen, it was completed in an instant. Chen Wanrong sighed that he was not as good as Sima Chengzhen.

Princess Taiping took the lead, Dou Huaizhen and the others came to watch. In their impression, the silver needle could not float on the liquid surface, and their eyes were so surprised that they opened their eyes wide and they kept exclaiming.

Jiang Bingchu could do this, but he was not as skilled as Sima Chengzhen, and he was also very surprised. He was secretly glad that Sima Chengzhen was competing with Chen Wanrong. If he had changed himself, he would have lost more than he won.

"The Taoist Master's magical magic, Li Lingyue has seen it!" Princess Taiping was convinced, and smiled and bowed to Sima Chengzhen.

Sima Chengzhen waved his right hand lightly, not caring about it: "The princess is so serious, and a little trick will not be seen by the princess. This is something I discovered unintentionally in the past, and I cannot be true."

Jiang Bingchu was afraid of Sima Chengzhen and hated Chen Wanrong. He wanted to kill Chen Wanrong immediately, and seized the opportunity and ridiculed him: "Mr. Chen, what do you think Taoist priest has such a skill?"

Chen Wanrong understood what he meant and said coldly: "The frog in the well dares to ramble."

"You..." Jiang Bingchu sneered and asked back: "If you have the ability, do it too."

This sentence shifted the attention of Princess Taiping and others to Chen Wanrong and watched the changes. Chen Wanrong said calmly: "Although Master Sima's skill is beautiful, it is not impossible. Floating a silver needle in the wine is not a skill. I will put a copper coin on the water."

Sima Chengzhen's eyes were full of divine light, he looked at Chen Wanrong, stroked his beard and smiled, "Mr. Chen, I will wait and see."

Chen Wanrong said to Princess Taiping: "Princess please give me some instructions, get some water, and get some threads."

Princess Taiping wanted to watch the fun, but without saying a word, she ordered her to call Qingshui and take the thread. Chen Wanrong took out a copper coin from his arms and held it in his hand and said, "I've seen it all, this is a copper coin. Do you want to check it?"

He stretched out his slender jade fingers, Princess Taiping held them in her hand, nodded and said, "It's a copper coin." She returned them to Chen Wanrong, and was filled with interest. Her beautiful big eyes flashed and she looked at Chen Wanrong tightly.

Chen Wanrong cut off four coin heads, tied them to the four corners of the square hole in the copper wire, then wrapped the thread head around his finger, stood on the edge of the water basin, mixed breathing well, and put it down carefully.

Princess Taiping and the others surrounded him to see the news. Without Chen Wanrong's instructions, they all calmed down. No one spoke on the huge venue, and they were silent, only the sound of breathing was heard.

The surface tension of water is not small. As long as the force is controlled well and the water film is not destroyed, the copper coins can float up. The key is to master the force you put down well, otherwise it will not be possible to float up once the water film is broken.

Chen Wanrong slowly put the copper coin down, then slowly loosened the thread and gently placed it on the water surface. It was amazing that the copper coin really floated on the water surface, and under the pearl light, the copper light shone and was particularly conspicuous.

A sound of amazement sounded, which was even more surprising and louder than praising Sima Chengzhen's hand. Princess Taiping looked at it carefully and praised it: "It's really amazing! If you don't see it with your own eyes, you won't believe it. What kind of magic is this?"

What she said was exactly what Dou Huaizhen and the others wanted to ask, and they all stared at Chen Wanrong, hoping to know it immediately.

Chen Wanrong explained: "The princess doesn't know that this is not a magic trick, but a little rule. The water surface is like flesh skin. As long as it is not broken, it will have a lot of force to prevent the copper coins from sinking. If the water surface is broken, the copper coins will sink immediately." He picked up the silver needle in the wine glass, wiped the wine dry, and handed it to Princess Taiping and said, "Princess, you sting it gently on the edge of the money."

Strictly speaking, you must explain the surface tension of the liquid, which is troublesome. Princess Taiping and others do not have this knowledge, which is tantamount to playing the piano for a cow. This statement is vivid and vivid, simple and easy to understand.

Princess Taiping was curious and didn't ask what was going on. She stabbed her as she said, and saw that the copper coin fell down immediately when it approached the needle. The water flooded and flooded the copper coin. In just a moment, the copper coin tilted and all fell into the water, sank to the bottom of the basin.

"Miaomiaomiao!" Princess Taiping brimmed her high-highlights and was amazed.

Sima Chengzhen gently stroked his palm and said, "Young Master Chen, you have solved my questions! Over the years, I have practiced many times, but I have never understood the truth. After listening to my friend's words, I can understand the truth. Please give me a gift." I asked with one hand.

Chen Wanrong returned the gift and asked, "Does the Taoist priest think it is an immortal method?"

Sima Chengzhen laughed: "Don't make fun of me, my friend, there must be a mystery in this matter. It's just that I don't understand it. There are no immortal skills and Taoisms. The wonderful things discovered by alchemy should have all the reasons, but I just don't understand it. Those who are good at making good deeds can use the immortals to tell things and cheat people of money, which is really sad!"

Alchemists discovered chemical phenomena and explained the Taoist method of becoming an immortal for unknown reasons. Some bad people even used it to deceive the world. There are many such people, Jiang Bingchu is one of them. There are very few people who can see it like him. Chen Wanrong respected him in awe and bowed: "The Taoist master is extraordinary, and Chen Wanrong admires it!"

Sima Chengzhen returned the courtesy and said, "My friend has been awarded too much. I would like to ask you where is your mansion? I want to linger with you more."

No matter what, Dou Huaizhen and the others did not expect that the famous Sima Chengzhen would value Chen Wanrong so much. This was a breaking relationship, and his eyes were wide open. Looking at Chen Wanrong was both admiring and jealous. Princess Taiping spent so much effort to invite Sima Chengzhen, but she had no good expression. Chen Wanrong received Sima Chengzhen's praise in just a few words. Is there any reason for the law?

Chen Wanrong was convinced by Sima Chengzhen's mind and smiled happily: "Now I am temporarily staying in Zheng Mansion on Pingkangfang. In a few days, I will move to Changlefang East Street. If the Taoist priest intends to visit the humble house, Chen Wanrong is honored!"

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Sima Chengzhen said happily: "My friend, I will definitely bother you."

"I'll sweep the bed and wait!" Chen Wanrong smiled.

Sima Chengzhen touched his beard and smiled: "My friend has extraordinary knowledge and is very skillful. I am too worried. Master Jiang, please see Zhen Zhang well." A sharp light flashed in his eyes and then he disappeared. This was warning Jiang Bingchu not to plot against Chen Wanrong.

Although Jiang Bingchu was unwilling to do so, he had to bite the bullet and take it off. He responded and said, "Mr. Chen, how do you compare?"

"Eat all!" Chen Wanrong returned to his seat, grabbed the chopsticks and picked up the meat and ate it. Princess Taiping waved her hand, and a maid changed the wine glass. Princess Taiping walked over lightly, grabbed the wine pot and said, "Mr. Chen, I'll toast you." Sheeted Chen Wanrong a glass of wine and said, "You have given me a better understanding."

Princess Taiping actually poured wine for Chen Wanrong. No one expected that Dou Huaizhen and Jiang Bingchu would stare at the boss, and looked at Chen Wanrong with jealousy, and there was nothing to do.

Chen Wanrong picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you Princess!" He drank it all in one go.

Princess Taiping poured another glass, stretched out her hand, and took her glass from the handmaid's hand: "Mr. Chen, come, I'll toast you! I'll thank you for your good deeds!"

She didn't say what was going on. Chen Wanrong also understood that it was referring to the help of Ruizong, and smiled and said, "The princess said where was it, it was a mere thing." She met Princess Taiping and each drank it.

Princess Taiping smiled slightly and returned to her seat and said, "Sit down. Please please Lord Chen and Taoist Jiang to cheer us up!"

A crowd of cheers sounded. Dou Huaizhen and others knew Jiang Bingchu's ability. They also witnessed Chen Wanrong's methods. The two of them must be very exciting in the competition. They held the wine glass, ate delicious food, and took a leisurely look at it.

Jiang Bingchu stood up, came to the venue, took out a cotton thread from his arms and held it in his hand, and said, "This is cotton thread, please look at it all."

Everyone was confused, so Sima Chengzhen shook his head slightly, already knowing what kind of magic he was going to perform, but it was not convenient to point it out. Looking at Chen Wanrong, Chen Wanrong took a sip of wine and teased: "Oh, Master Jiang, I didn't realize that you are a versatile talent. You actually brought a wire on your body. Do you want to be a female worker?"

The words made everyone laugh. Princess Taiping pursed her lips and pointed at Chen Wanrong: "You Wanrong, you are a little bit like that." She didn't call her Lord Chen, but Wanrong, she was much closer.

Jiang Bingchu was so angry that he didn't show any color and ignored him. He then said, "I tied a copper coin to one end and hung it here. After I used the magic technique, I used fire to burn it. Do you think it would burn it?"

Princess Taiping and the others were not sure about this matter. Chen Wanrong smiled and teased: "Of course it's burning. If you have magic, what's the ability to burn it?"

Jiang Bingchu was thick-skinned and beat the snake with the stick: "It's good that you know." He handed the cotton rope to Dou Huaizhen: "Mr. Dou, you have tested it, don't give it a contributor, and say I'm cheating."

Chen Wanrong held back his laughter and just ate and drank. Jiang Bingchu waited for Dou Huaizhen to test it, took out the copper coins from the basin, tied them up, hung the thread, took out the fire and handed it to Xiao Zhizhong: "Mr. Xiao, please."

Xiao Zhizhong was very excited. He took the fire break and without saying a word, he strode over, ignited the cotton thread, staring at the cotton thread. He saw the flames, like a dancing fire snake. What was strange was that the thread had not broken and the copper coins had not fallen. His eyes widened and he kept saying, "Strange things, strange things."

Looking at Jiang Bingchu again, he looked solemn, his hands kept pinching, and he muttered something in his mouth, and was casting spells, sweat oozing out of his forehead. Under the pearl light, it was particularly crystal clear. Sweat came at any time. This acting was amazing, and it was really a pity to not go to Hollywood to film.

Until the flames went out and the copper coins did not fall off, Xiao Zhizhong was surprised and called out strange things. Except for Chen Wanrong and Sima Chengzhen indifferent, everyone was surprised. Princess Taiping came over and touched the cotton thread with her jade hand, and her pretty face was filled with surprise: "I wonder if Taoist Master, what kind of immortal art is this?"

Jiang Bingchu was considerate and asked with one hand: "The princess asked, but I dare not refuse to answer. But Lord Chen is the only one who is Mingxiao." He had an appointment with Chen Wanrong, and Chen Wanrong wanted to break his magic.

This is a harsh approach to Chen Wanrong. Princess Taiping and the others looked at Chen Wanrong together, waiting for Chen Wanrong to explain. But Chen Wanrong was eating happily and said vaguely: "Come on a bowl of braised water."

"Shut up!" Dou Huaizhen was very angry: "You are so rude." Princess Taiping was already displeased, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes and disappeared immediately.

After hearing Chen Wanrong's words, Jiang Bingchu knew that it had been broken by Chen Wanrong. Just as he was unaware, he heard Dou Huaizhen's words, as if a man who fell into the water grabbed the straw: "The wind shone with his tongue, don't care about him."

Chen Wanrong laughed: "Master Sima, soak the cotton thread in brine and soak it, dry it, tie one end with copper coins, and ignite it with fire, will the cotton thread break?"

"My friend has his own concerns, why do you ask me?" Sima Chengzhen replied lightly, eating mountain fruits was very leisurely.

Princess Taiping heard it, said with a move, "As long as you want", and went straight back to her seat. Chen Wanrong said, "Get some cotton thread, and then take a basin of fire. Don't be too big, just dry it."

Jiang Bingchu looked at Chen Wanrong, his eyes flashed sharply, and his right hand suddenly reached into his arms, and murderous intent suddenly appeared. Sima Chengzhen coughed clearly, and the cough was not loud, but it sounded like a heavy hammer in Jiang Bingchu's ears. He knew that Sima Chengzhen was warning him not to do anything. He threw a long list of swear words in his heart to Sima Chengzhen, and had to give up.

Chen Wanrong didn't even bother to see the maid bringing things: "Sir, who is confused in his heart? Do what I said."

Dou Huaizhen stood up and said, "Come on!" He strode out, picked up the cotton thread and soaked it in the brine, and then baked it next to the charcoal fire. After it was dried, he tied the copper coin and ignited it. A series of surprises sounded: "It's really not, it's really not." He walked past everyone with the burning cotton thread, everyone was surprised and surprised.

Princess Taiping's chest was undulating, and she said lightly: "Is this a spell?" The words were not loud, and anyone could hear the anger. Jiang Bingchu's face changed color and her scalp exploded, so she couldn't even speak.

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "The princess doesn't know, it's just a little trick. Master Jiang, what you are performing now is that cotton thread is burning continuously, which is not difficult. Will you use the other hand to burn the cotton thread, and the ash must be straight and not falling continuously."

After the cotton thread was burned, the ashes fell one after another, and they had to be straight and not fallen. It was unimaginable. Sima Chengzhen raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Wanrong, and was a little surprised. He probably didn't know this method.

Princess Taiping was surprised and asked, "Wanrong, aren't you lying?"

"If the princess doesn't believe it, verify it immediately." Chen Wanrong said firmly and glanced at Jiang Bingchu: "Master Jiang, please."

Jiang Bingchu wished that a crack in the ground would crawl into it and said, "The evil way!" but it attracted a lot of ridicule.

Chen Wanrong smiled and waved his hand to the servant girl. The servant girl came over. Chen Wanrong muttered a few words in her ear. The servant girl looked surprised and looked at Princess Taiping. Princess Taiping smiled and said, "Do as he said!" The servant girl responded and left quickly.

Everyone wanted to see it. When they looked at Chen Wanrong, Chen Wanrong was having fun and kept saying, "This dish is good, it tastes great. The wine is not bad, it is strong enough."

Princess Taiping smiled and said, "It tastes delicious, just eat more."

Dou Huaizhen heard the meaning of her words, raised her glass and said, "Mr. Chen, come on, Dou, I wish you a glass."

Chen Wanrong picked up the wine glass and touched it, "Please." He was about to drink it, but Xiao Zhizhong also picked up the wine glass and said, "Mr. Chen, please." He had to touch him again and drink it in one sip.

Jiang Bingchu stood in the local area, no one cared about it. The former noble style of being a noble man disappeared, as if he was a stranger. He was angry, jealous, helpless, and had a mixed taste. But Chen Wanrong teased and smiled at him.

The maid turned around, holding a handful of cotton thread in her hand and holding a bowl. She put the bowl on the table. Princess Taiping was curious and walked over to see it. It was a bowl of clear water. She frowned and asked, "Is this done?"

Chen Wanrong walked over, dipped his index finger in the water, put it in his mouth and sucked it salty, and smiled and said, "Cheng. The princess is not a letter. Put the thread in a bowl, soak it, dry it, and then burn it over the fire, everything will be clear." Back at the seat, he started eating and drinking again.

If Princess Taiping does it herself, she will lose her identity. She pondered for a while, after all, curiosity prevailed. She acted as she said, so she soaked the cotton thread into a bowl, dried it on the fire, tied it up, shaking the fire, and the flames churned, and the cotton thread immediately ignited.

Sima Chengzhen stood up and stared at the cotton thread. Although Jiang Bingchu was uneasy, he was also curious and looked at the cotton thread. It was strange that the cotton thread had changed color and must have burned through, but the gray line was straight, more than a foot long, and it was constantly.
