"After the alum water dries, no one can see the ghost anymore. But as soon as the yellow paper gets wet, the ghost will reappear. This is what they call the trick of imprisoning the evil spirit in the paper."
Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials in the court suddenly understood.
Some things are just a layer of window paper, and once it is punctured, they are worthless.
Xu Yan's spirits lifted, and he quickly asked, "Then how did you kill the evil spirit with a peach wood sword?"
"I just sprayed some water on the peach wood sword. This wasn't just ordinary water, it was lye water." Lu Chen poured some of the water from the gourd onto his fingers, then gently smeared it onto the yellow paper. "You can see, the lye water reacts with the yellow paper, turning it bloody. Those charlatans claim this is the blood they inflict on injured ghosts. This is how they use the peach wood sword to slay evil spirits."
"As I said, this isn't some magical technique or sorcery, it's simply the application of some simple chemistry knowledge. It doesn't matter if you don't understand chemistry. All you need to know is that these are common phenomena in nature, so there's no need to be alarmed."
When Wei Yong saw Lu Chen performing these strange methods, he was very nervous. He was afraid that Lu Chen would use this sorcery to seduce the emperor.
However, after Lu Chen analyzed the principles clearly, Wei Yong's eyes became extremely complicated when he looked at Lu Chen.
He suddenly discovered that the so-called immortal master in front of him was indeed somewhat different from the demons he had encountered in the past.
Song Lian, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but sigh, "Is this Master Lu? He's truly an open-minded man. No wonder he has such a deep understanding of my Confucianism. I wonder if I'll have the chance to learn from him."
Not to mention that Song Lian wanted to ask Lu Chen for advice, after witnessing Lu Chen's various magical methods, how many civil and military officials in the court did not want to have a long talk with Lu Chen!
Li Zhuo slapped the dragon throne and said, "Lu Xian is truly a master! Lord Xu, do you understand what Master Lu has said? Immediately mobilize all the officials below and expose the evil methods of the White Lotus Sect to the public! I want to see what other tricks they can use to deceive the people!"
Xu Yan hurriedly bowed and said, "I understand. However, if we want to make these methods revealed by Master Lu known to the public, I'm afraid it will take some effort. It probably can't be done in a short time."
Civil and military officials all nodded. These days, there is still a saying that imperial power does not extend to the countryside. How to make every citizen of Da Qi understand the methods of the White Lotus Sect is indeed a problem.
Just when the civil and military officials were at a loss, Lu Chen spoke again: "Your Majesty, if you simply want to stop the people from believing in the White Lotus Sect, I do have a way."
"Master Lu, please speak quickly!" Li Zhuo's body shook, and his face was filled with ecstasy again. He found that he had really picked up a treasure. It seemed that the questions that had troubled him for a long time could be answered by Lu Chen.
If the White Lotus Sect issue could really be settled, Li Zhuo would willingly appoint Lu Chen as the Imperial Master.
Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Words are not enough. I'd better show you what I can do. I need a statue. It could be a statue of a deceased general of our dynasty, or a great scholar from the past. I will bury these statues in the ground, and I can make them grow out of the ground on their own! When that happens, we can discuss how to deal with the White Lotus Sect!"
