Li Shui took out the convex lens, and the courtiers were a little silent.
They have really never seen this thing before, so they don't dare to evaluate it. But... they couldn't trust Li Shui's character, so they were a little suspicious of any talk about specialties from the fairy world.
Li Shui shook the convex lens in his hand and asked everyone: "What? Don't you all believe it?"
No one said anything, not wanting to stand out.
Li Shui was reluctant and began to name names: "General Wang Li, do you believe it?"
Wang Li cursed secretly, and then said: "What is heavenly fire?"
Li Shui said: "It was born out of thin air. No need to drill wood or flint. It directly draws fire from the scorching sun."
Wang Li sneered and said, "This is a bit exaggerated."
Although Li Shui is a bit evil and often does incredible things. But Wang Li absolutely refused to believe that it could draw fire from the sun.
Li Shui raised his hand to Ying Zheng and said, "Please give it a try."
Ying Zheng nodded: "Yes."
Li Shui looked outside the hall and found that the weather had been sunny recently and the daylight was just right. He nodded with satisfaction and said to everyone, "Please move out of the hall and take a look."
It was late summer and the weather was hot. Li Shui tried it outside. With this temperature and sunshine, there would be absolutely no problem in using a convex lens to ignite. Just a little too hot.
He looked back at Ji Ming who was beside Ying Zheng, and then said with a smile: "Master Ji? Why don't you take care of the fire?"
Ji Ming was surprised and happy: "Me? I am a slave with a low status. Can I take the fire from the sky?"
Li Shui said: "You have a low status and are as unbearable as an insect. It is absolutely impossible for you to take the fire from heaven. If you dare to take the fire from heaven, you will definitely be angry and cause five thunders. However, you have stayed with His Majesty for a long time, and you have become a trace of the saint." When God smells this gas, he will be afraid of the emperor's power and will not dare to do anything to you. Just feel free to make fire."
The courtiers rolled their eyes when they heard this: "Touting the emperor as a saint? God is afraid of him? How shameless is this guy Li Shui? No, no, no, he has been shameless for a long time."
Ying Zheng shouted: "Stop talking nonsense."
These words sounded like a reprimand, but there was a slight smile on Ying Zheng's face. Obviously, he thought Li Shui's flattery just now was original and interesting.
Li Shui respectfully agreed, and then put the convex lens into Ji Ming's hand.
Ji Ming held it carefully and came outside the main hall. He was very scared, fearing that something would go wrong and cause wrath.
Although, Li Shui's words are most likely false. But what if it happens once? What if God is really dissatisfied, what if he doesn't have enough saintly energy... Ji Ming doesn't dare to think about it anymore.
People in this era are in awe of heaven. There is absolutely no one like Li Shui who comes right out of his mouth. Ji Ming never expected that Li Shui would dare to joke about this.
Li Shui squatted next to Ji Ming and taught him how to operate the convex lens and focus the sunlight into a point.
After Ji Ming learned it, Li Shui couldn't wait to return to the shade.
Ji Ming's body was sweating hot and his head was sweating coldly: "Why is Huaiguzi gone? Are you afraid that when I am struck by lightning, he will be implicated?"
At this moment, Li Shui took out another lump of something from his body. Like dead grass, like sawdust, a small ball.
Li Shui handed the ball to Wang Li and said: "General Wang, when the sky fire comes down, someone needs to take care of it. Just like the emperor sends envoys to travel around, and the county magistrates and guards want to go out of the city to welcome them. In this way, Fang It seems polite. It is not appropriate to sit in the county government office in such a rude manner while someone comes in."
Wang Li held the ball of fire-igniting objects, frowned and said, "Catch it with your hands?"
Li Shui said: "When the fire starts, the general can put it down gently. But before the fire starts, it is best to be respectful and wait upright."
"The heavenly fire descends to the earth, and it has some power. The person who takes it may feel pain. But it doesn't matter. A gentleman has the awe-inspiring righteousness composed of benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust. This awe-inspiring righteousness can help you resist the power of the sky fire. In other words, Gentlemen feel no pain."
Wang Li was a little suspicious: "Did you make up this nonsense again?"
Li Shui bowed respectfully to Fusu and said, "This is Mr. Fusu's wise opinion."
Fusu glanced at Li Shui coldly, but still said: "Yes, there is great righteousness in people. Full of righteousness, water and fire can't invade, and all kinds of diseases can't occur."
Wang Ligan laughed twice, but did not dare to refute Fusu. To refute in front of so many people would be tantamount to offending Fusu, and the gain would outweigh the loss.
But he didn't want to use his hands to draw the fire from the sky. After all, Li Shui was too damaged, and he might be holding back the damage.
So Wang Li said: "Lord Huai, why don't you personally guide me? You are a banished immortal, and you are the most suitable person to guide the heavenly fire."
Li Shui said with regret, "No, I'm not a gentleman. I'm worried about being burned by the heavenly fire."
Wang Li was immediately speechless: "This guy admits that he is a villain, what else can he do? Why don't I call myself a villain too? I can't speak. Who has such a thick skin like him?"
Li Shui then said: "General, why are you pushing back and forth? Do you not believe that you are a gentleman? Don't you believe that you have great righteousness in your heart? There is no other spirit, not even a spirit of loyalty and courage? It is a bit strange for a general to have no courage. And as a court official An important minister has no loyalty. Could it be that you have a disobedient heart..."
Wang Li couldn't bear it any longer and yelled: "Sir, you! Am I going to rebel again?"
Li Shui sighed and said to Wang Jian and Wang Ben: "You are really good at training children. Wang Li can actually speak well."
The flesh on Wang Jian's face twitched, and he held his breath and said to Wang Li: "Go. Show your loyalty to His Majesty."
I have to go. If I don't go, I will be called a traitor.
Wang Li felt aggrieved and held the fire starter out into the sun.
Ji Ming was even more aggrieved. Li Shui and Wang Li had been discussing for a long time just now, and he was just basking in the sun like this outside. Now Ji Ming felt like he was going to faint.
Ji Ming wiped the sweat from his head, followed the method taught by Li Shui, and pointed the dazzling bright spot at the fire starter in Wang Li's hand.
At first, Wang Li felt that his palms were a little warm. But gradually, there was a burning pain. It was as if I had put my hand into the flames and was being burned.
Wang Li's painful palms were trembling, and he was sweating profusely, quickly soaking his clothes. He looked even hotter than Ji Ming.
In the end, his facial features were twisted in pain, and he almost screamed.
What loyalty and courage, what awe-inspiring righteousness, what benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust. Wang Liquan relied on his endurance and gritted his teeth, refusing to speak.
Finally, the fire starter started to smoke. Wang Li almost cried and stared at it.
With a bang, the ball of withered grass burst into flames. Wang Li quickly shook his hands, threw it to the ground, and then staggered back into the shade.
Ying Zheng looked at the small fire on the ground and asked Li Shui with great interest: "Is this the sky fire?"
Li Shui bowed and said: "Exactly, this fire has no roots and origins, it comes from the sky."
Ying Zheng sighed and said, "What a wonderful skill."
Wang Li hid his painful hand behind his back and said coldly: "Master Huai, your convex lens is indeed interesting. However, how do you explain the matter of steamed buns and fairy wine?"
Chunyu Yue stroked his beard and looked at Li Shui with burning eyes, waiting for his answer.
