As soon as Xia Younan said this, the whole audience was in an uproar. The people were like a pot of boiling water, and they all asked her to explain herself.

"Then explain first, how come the words appeared out of thin air on the statue?" someone asked, raising his arm.

Xia Younan smiled slightly, signaled everyone to be quiet again, then took out the small porcelain bottle he had found under the statue and said to everyone, "I found this under the table in the mountain temple. It must have been lost there by someone who did something naughty.

"It was only because more people were added to the temple to guard it day and night that they had no chance to find it."

After saying that, she took the prepared stone from Zhu Li, walked to a secluded place nearby where the sun couldn't reach, opened the bottle stopper, dipped the brush into the liquid inside, and wrote two words on the stone.

The people looked at the words she wrote and asked curiously, "What are you writing? We can't see any words."

Xia Younan smiled, held the written stone in his palm, pointed the written part towards the crowd, and then walked step by step into the sunlight.

As the sunlight covered the stone, the originally blank area began to gradually show color, and then became clearer and clearer until it turned into the bright red word "truth"!

Those two words were exactly what Xia Younan had written just now.

This scene was completely seen by everyone present. They were stunned at first, and then they sighed in unison.

"This... these words were invisible at first, but how come they appeared out of thin air when the sun shone on them?"

"This scene... is exactly like the appearance of the mountain god!"

The people started discussing it, and after they finished, Xia Younan patiently explained the whole story to them, telling them his guess about how the villain used the bottle of liquid to play tricks.

With the magical potion as evidence, everyone was convinced after hearing it.

"We believe that the 'appearance of the mountain god' was caused by someone, but how could the house catch fire spontaneously? This is even more absurd in comparison."

Someone asked again, causing a chorus of agreement.

This explains it better. Xia Younan and his companions made way, and the people in black who were tied up in the middle of the square were exposed to everyone's sight.

"They are..." As soon as they were seen, they immediately began to ask questions.

Xia Younan replied: "Since it was man-made, they would definitely leave clues while playing tricks. So we cast a wide net and sent people to secretly patrol all over the city. Finally, we caught these people last night."

At this point, Xia Younan picked up the sack seized from the man in black and threw it to the front. "When we found them, they were on your roof, grabbing the contents of this sack and throwing them onto the roof."

"What's in this sack? Why are they spreading it on our roof?" everyone was puzzled.

No matter how much you say, it is better to do it yourself to convince people. Xia Younan stopped explaining and picked up the sack, spreading the gunpowder powder evenly on the ground exposed to the sun.

Afterwards, she took out the convex lens she had prepared in advance, looked up at the position of the sun, and then chose a suitable place to stand. She then pointed one side of the convex lens at the sun and the other side at the gunpowder powder on the ground.

Soon, the convex lens gathered the sunlight coming from all directions. When the light passed through the mirror, it refracted and converged into one point.

The brightest spot fell on the gunpowder on the ground...

"What are you doing?" Some people were whispering as they watched her actions, but they were too embarrassed to ask.

After finding the right angle, Xia Younan stood still, staring at the light spot on the ground, waiting for scientific verification.

About half a minute later, the spot of light cast on the gunpowder powder began to smoke, and the smell of sulfur wafted into the air.

"There's smoke?!" The crowd became excited again.

"boom--"

Before anyone could ask, flames suddenly shot out from the place where smoke was coming out, and then exploded instantly. The place on the ground where the gunpowder powder was sprinkled was quickly engulfed by the flames, turning it into a small sea of ​​fire.

"Wow!!" There were exclamations again from the crowd. They looked at the flames in front of them in disbelief, wondering if they were seeing things.

After the experiment was completed, Xia Younan explained to them the principle of ignition using a convex lens, and then asked, "Did you see it clearly? This is the so-called sky fire. Your house is burning in this way."

After she finished speaking, she was worried that some people still didn't understand, so she pointed to a nearby wooden house and patiently explained: "If you want to burn that house, just sprinkle gunpowder powder from firecrackers or fireworks on the roof the night before.

"When the sun comes out the next day, take this convex lens and hide in a tree not far from the house. Focus the sunlight on the roof like I did just now. In less than a minute, the house will spontaneously combust!"

At this point, the truth about the scene of the house's spontaneous combustion was revealed.

"That's how it is. That evil guy played a trick on us!"

The people learned the truth, but they were very angry and started to curse the murderer behind the scenes.

"Damn it! Using the beliefs of my Tang City to harm the people of my city is an unforgivable crime!" Jun Zhonglin couldn't help but clench his fists in anger.

At this point, the people had completely come to believe that the so-called miracles were all caused by humans. They cursed indignantly for a while, and someone couldn't control his curiosity and asked again.

"What about the wild beasts that entered the city and caused chaos?"

Xia Younan smiled and replied, "You will know soon."

As luck would have it, just as she finished speaking, she heard two crisp "pa pa" sounds of gongs.

When I heard the sound and looked over, I saw a dark-skinned man running towards me, beating a gong and shouting.

"Run! The wild beasts are coming again! The mountain god is angry again! The mountain god is going to punish us!"

Sure enough, the next second everyone heard the roar and footsteps of the wild beast approaching.

Looking again, I saw lions, tigers, leopards, bears, wolves and other beasts of more than ten different species, running towards us with their fangs bared and their fangs growling. The dust they kicked up was more than half a meter high, which was very majestic.

"Run! The beast is coming!"

When the people of Tang City saw this situation, they were terrified and immediately became chaotic, wailing and screaming and fleeing in all directions.

Only Lu Xiuyuan and a few others in the middle of the square remained calm. They were not in a hurry, did not move a step, and watched the lively scene in front of them with cold eyes.

"Pa pa pa!" The man who first reported the news kept beating the gong in his hand, shouting at the top of his voice while beating it.

"The mountain god is angry. We shouldn't have refused Zhujing Nation's request for troops. We shouldn't have doubted the existence of the mountain god. The mountain god is angry, and we all have to die!"

When he shouted, the people looked at the ferocious beast, and their newly firm faith could not help but be shaken a little.
