There is a wandering monk in Hejian who sells medicine in the market. On the case, a bronze Buddha is placed, pills are kept on the plate, and the Buddha leads his hand to get things. Some buyers pray to the Buddha first and then put the plates in. If the disease can be cured, pills will leap into bergamot. If it is difficult to treat, the pill will not jump. The whole country believes it. Later, someone saw him studying iron filings behind closed doors in the temple, and he realized that the pills on his plate must be half iron filings and half iron filings. His bergamot must be made of magnets and filled with gold. If the test is true, its skills are defeated. (Excerpted from Ji Yun's Notes on Reading Weeds)

There is a wandering monk in Hejian county who sells medicine in the market. First, put a bronze Buddha on the table and put pills on the side. The bronze Buddha held out his hand as if to take something. To buy medicine, he must first pray to the bronze Buddha, and then approach the bronze Buddha with a medicine tray in his hand. If the disease can be cured, the pills on the plate will jump into the hands of the Buddha. If it is an incurable disease, the pills on the plate will not move. The whole city trusts him very much. Later, someone saw him close the door and secretly grind iron filings in the temple where the monk stayed, only to realize that half of the pills on the monk's plate must have been mixed with iron filings and half were not mixed with iron filings. The bergamot must be made of magnets, but it is covered with gold (to hide people's eyes and ears). After investigation, it was true, and the monk's deception was exposed.
"If the test is true, its skill will fail." After testing, it is true, and those deceptive tricks are exposed.
