"Show-Off!" Wei Sian said hatefully when he saw Meton staring at his sunglasses.
However, many people were tempted when they saw Meton moving freely under the glaring sunlight. Putting aside the fact that the sunglasses were used to block the sunlight, just the fact that he was wearing them made him look pretty cool.
"Old people wearing reading glasses, nearsighted people wearing glasses, and normal people wearing sunglasses. Mo Jiazi won't let go of any opportunity to make money! Profiteer! "Quan Wanji said hatefully.
"With such means, he's indeed worthy of being Chang 'an City's God of Wealth!" The merchants present all clicked their tongues. Mo Jiazi's business of taking in all of them was really crazy, but it made them worship him as if he was a god.
After Meton finished his advertisement, he was satisfied and gestured for Mo Jiazi to put the bronze mirror back. At the same time, he took off his sunglasses.
"Now that we've finished talking about the refraction of light, let's talk about the color of light. Everyone says that light is white. Is that true? However, I don't think so." Merton asked.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Right now, most of them were under the sun, but they could clearly see the white sunlight shining on them. However, this Mo Family disciple actually said that the color of the sunlight wasn't white.
"Hmph! If the sun isn't white, then could it be black like the Mo Family? This time, I want to see how Mo Jiazi will justify himself. " Quan Wanji looked at Meton with a belly full of anger. In his opinion, no matter how much Mo Jiazi said, it would be difficult for him to turn black into white in front of everyone.
Meton pointed to the east and said, "As everyone knows, when the sun rises from the east, it is often red. At noon, the sun is white and extremely glaring. At sunset, the sun is dyed red. Could it be that the sun can change its color in just one day?"
Everyone's expression changed, and the bottom line in their hearts was slightly shaken.
"Interesting!" Li Shimin's satisfied expression suddenly disappeared, and he looked at Meton's performance with interest.
"Some time ago, I was fortunate enough to come into contact with the secret techniques of Daoism and discovered something very interesting," Merton said.
Wei Sian clenched his teeth as the resentment in his heart soared. Mo Jiazi had used the External Alchemy Sect's methods to deal a fatal blow to the Wei Family, causing the entire Wei Family to lose their family's pillar of industry and causing him to be scolded by his father.
"That is, there is no such thing as white in this world. There are only the three primary colors of red, yellow, and green. Furthermore, you can use these three colors to create any color in the world," Meton suddenly said.
"There's nothing white!"
In an instant, the entire crowd was shaken. Everyone looked at the sunlight shining on their bodies in disbelief, as if they had been struck by lightning.
Meton waved his hand, and a group of Mo Jiazi Brothers appeared in front of everyone, carrying buckets of red, yellow, and green paint.
"Yellow and green can be combined to form green."
Under Meton's command, the Mo Jiazi Brothers mixed the paint in front of everyone. They mixed the yellow paint with the green paint and splashed it on a huge piece of white paper. It was indeed green!
"When green is added with blue and red, it becomes white." Under Meton's command, the Mo Jiazi Brothers mixed the three colors evenly. In an instant, all the colors disappeared, leaving behind only white.
"Could it be that the sunlight we're seeing is a mixture of green, blue, and red?" Everyone looked at the pure white sunlight shining on their bodies in disbelief. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't see any other colors.
Quan Wanji couldn't help but widen his eyes. If someone had told him that the sunlight wasn't white, he would've thought that person had lost his mind. However, Meton had personally mixed the white color. With irrefutable evidence, he had no choice but to believe it.
"That's right! White is indeed a mixture. "Wei Sian explained to Quan Wanji in a deep voice.
He had been to the Wei Clan's printing and dyeing workshop before and had personally witnessed the craftsmen mixing all kinds of colors. Thus, he had a deeper understanding of Meton's words.
Quan Wanji immediately felt as if he'd lost his soul.
In the private room, Li Shimin was like a curious baby. He held a few barrels of paint and mixed all kinds of colors according to the color chart that Meton had left behind. Every time he mixed a color, he would be extremely excited.
Pande waited on him from the side. Seeing Li Shimin's expression, he sighed in his heart. Ever since Li Shimin ascended to the throne, he had never been so relaxed and happy!
"Your eyes may deceive you, but Mo Technique won't. Next, let me reveal the secret. How many colors are there in sunlight?" Meton's voice fell.
A huge curtain slowly flew across the sky from the west. Everyone sighed in their hearts. As expected, every time Mo Jiazi showed the Mystery of Light, there would always be a curtain blocking the sunlight.
Everyone couldn't help but look forward to it. Every time Meton showed the Mystery of Light, he had never disappointed them.
As usual, there was a gap in the curtain. A ray of sunlight shone on Meton's body, as if he was covered in a mysterious halo.
Meton held a huge prism in his hand and fixed it on a stand. He placed it under the sunlight, and in an instant, a marvelous scene appeared in the hall. A belt of multicolored light appeared on a huge white board.
"It's actually real!"
"Sunlight really is composed of many colors!"
… … …
Almost everyone cried out in surprise. No one had expected sunlight to have so many colors.
"Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet! These are the true colors of sunlight! "Meton's voice resounded from the darkness.
In the private room, even Li Shimin was staring at the multicolored light refracted by the sunlight. Meton's actions today could be said to have completely overturned everyone's worldview.
"Does this rainbow color look familiar to all of you?" Moton moved the triangular prism slightly in the dark. Immediately, the rainbow ribbon of light began to move along with it.
"Rainbow!" Li Shimin's eyes lit up as he blurted out.
Everyone was instantly enlightened. Wasn't the halo in front of them the color of a rainbow after the rain?
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas says, 'Rainbow in the north, there are two in each direction.' The ancients believed that the rainbow was a two-headed dragon, and the appearance of the rainbow was an omen of misfortune and disaster. The Classic of Songs says, 'In the east, no one dares to point at it'. The people also say that the rainbow can enter a stream to drink water. There were even ancient people who were worried that if the rainbow drank too much water, it would cause the rivers to dry up, causing droughts for years.
Today, the Mo Family has reclaimed the name of the rainbow. A true rainbow is just the refraction of sunlight. It's a common natural phenomenon, and not a disaster. Next up is the finale of today's Mo Arts Exhibition, the Artificial Rainbow! "
Following Meton's voice, the curtain of the curtain fell. The curtains above the venue slowly retreated. However, in the east of the Mo Technique Exhibition, a group of Mo Family disciples held a water dragon cart and sprayed streams of water mist into the air.
Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, an arched rainbow slowly appeared in front of everyone.
"Rainbow!"
"It's actually man-made!"
"Spraying water can actually create a rainbow. No wonder rainbows only appear by the water or after the rain?"
… … …
Instantly, the entire place was in an uproar. Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief. Li Shimin suddenly rushed to the entrance of the private room, staring at the rainbow in the air.
Meton smiled slightly. The reason why he held the Mo Arts Exhibition in the afternoon was to wait for this moment. At this moment, the sun was shining at an angle, and it was the best time to form a rainbow.
"What a marvelous skill!"
