"Jack, can you secretly reveal it?" Orinoah asked mysteriously, "Do you need my cooperation?" ”

Her meaning is obvious, that is, to be a to.

Magic is magic after all, no matter how magical it seems, it is actually a trick, and the difference is who is more subtle.

Tor is a character that is necessary for many magic tricks, and can be used to distract or work with clever mechanisms.

Spells are compared to magic, which is directly crushed. There is no need for any fancy and cover-up, and there is no need for any support.

"No, my magic doesn't require any cooperation. ”

"I'm really looking forward to it. Ori Noah said with great interest: "Jack, can I be your student? I like magic very much, especially the traditional magic of China, and the immortal bean picking you performed last time is very magical." I've been studying it for a long time, but I can't figure it out. ”

Lu Zheng pretended to smile and said: "We have a rule in this industry, which is called passing on men but not women. ”

"Oh. Orinoah was disappointed and said, "Your Huaxia rules are really strange, why can't women?"

"Girls are outgoing, they always have to get married, and when the time comes, this craft will spread out, and they will rob their families of their jobs. ”

"Oh well. ”

After dinner, Lu Zheng didn't see Lin Xinmiao appear from beginning to end, and politely declined Orinoah's invitation to go to the deck to blow the wind, and went back to the room directly, waiting for Zheng Zhongyuan's news.

When there was still an hour before the performance at the Grand Theater, Zheng Zhongyuan sent a message telling Lu Zheng to perform on time and transfer the goods to the room. Seven days later, when I docked in Fukuoka, I made a deal.

Those cultural relics Lu Zheng is determined to get, so he can only go to the theater once, as for magic, just deal with it.

The Central Theater is on the seventh floor of the cruise ship and is lavishly decorated. It can accommodate 1,000 people, similar to a small concert hall. Tourists have just experienced a half-day voyage, and the excitement is high, so although the theater performance is midnight, it is also full.

Lu Zheng arrived at the theater half an hour early. The backstage of the theater was also overcrowded, with acrobats, dancers, singers, etc., most of whom were foreign actors, both white and black, and even actors dressed as Toei singers and samurai.

At this time, a group tango performance was being staged in the front desk. The music roared, the applause was enthusiastic, and the applause continued.

It was not easy to find the person in charge of the performance in the crowd, Lu Zheng had just reported Jack's name, and the middle-aged woman dressed in a noble lady's costume pulled him to a small room.

Looking at the fat squeezed out of her waist and the hot water bottle drooping on her chest, Lu Zheng was startled, and thought that Jack had a leg with this kind of woman.

Fortunately, the woman didn't pounce like a wolf, otherwise Lu Zheng didn't guarantee that he would not kick her into the sea. Her voice was high, temporarily muffling the music, and she shouted, "Jack." You're finally here. It's waiting for you now, James and Evan are ready, this time you must cheer up and fight for our countrymen. ”

This...... What do you mean?

Where did James and Evan come from?

The middle-aged woman didn't explain, but pointed to a box and said, "Your props are here, hurry up and prepare." This compartment was left for you by me. ”

"Come on. Jack, I'm optimistic about you!"

She made a cheering gesture towards Lu Zheng. Hurriedly opened the door and went out.

The box is not large, similar to a suitcase. After opening, it is neatly divided into many grids, with iron balls, small bowls, roses, hats, steel wires and other magic props, and there are more than 30 pairs of poker alone.

After carefully inspecting the box, I found a brown paper scroll inside the compartment, which was tightly sealed, and it should be a painting. In addition, there is a wooden box, which contains two pieces of Pixiu and fish-shaped jade, as well as a bronze jue wine vessel.

Knock knock knock...... There was a knock on the door.

"Jack, are you ready? It's about to start, Evan is performing his magic tricks, I think you should check them out. ”

Hurriedly used the Nahai technique to put away all these things, Lu Zheng thought about it, and put those magic props into the Dragon Palace before he walked out of the room.

The middle-aged woman glanced at Lu Zheng and frowned, "Jack, why haven't you even changed into a performance costume?" she opened the wardrobe as she spoke, took out a set of clothes from it, and urged: "Hurry up, James will also play later." ”

Okay, do a full set of plays, maybe Zheng Zhongyuan is also watching below, Lu Zheng has no choice but to change into that suit with a French tie.

Dressed up and looking in the mirror, he really has a bit of gentlemanly charm, and even Lu Zheng couldn't help but praise: "Looking at it, you are still the most handsome!"

Narcissistic for less than two seconds, the middle-aged woman rushed in and pulled him out.

At the entrance of the stage, there was a handsome foreign guy wearing a tuxedo and combing his big back, and his partner was a scantily clad bewitching girl, with yellow skin and black hair, who turned out to be a Chinese girl.

Seeing Lu Zheng coming, the handsome foreign guy raised his eyebrows at him and spoke a bunch of bird words.

His partner, Huaxia Meizi, looked at Lu Zheng contemptuously and said: "Mr. James said, Jack, you are his defeated subordinate, you have not come, he thought you heard his name and fled." ”

The middle-aged woman was surprised: "You know each other?"

"Yes, Lady Mary, this Jack once participated in the magic competition held in the capital of China with James. Oh, James finished runner-up, while Mr. Jack, was eliminated in the group stage. The person who eliminated him was none other than James. ”

The middle-aged woman's face suddenly became unsightly, and she glared at the Chinese girl who was acting as a translator, and muttered vaguely.

Lu Zheng heard it clearly, admiring the foreign.

James looked at Lu Zheng condescendingly, shook his head, and said bluntly: "Jack, you, you can't win." ”

The Chinese woman said, "What he means is that you can't win." ”

Lu Zheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "You tell this Mr. James, don't pretend to be forced, pretend to be struck by lightning." ”

The woman was annoyed and said, "Why are you scolding?

"No, right?" Lu Zheng said to the eldest sister beside him with an innocent face: "Did I curse?"

The middle-aged woman shook her head cooperatively and said, "No, there is not a single dirty word." ”

"You Huaxia people have this little ability!"

The middle-aged woman said disdainfully: "It's much better than some people who have forgotten their ancestors." ”

The woman gritted her teeth angrily and whispered a few words beside James, James raised her eyebrows, stretched out her little finger, gestured downward, and came out with a classic insulting line: "The sick man of East Asia." ”

In fact, the image of the Chinese in the eyes of many foreigners is not very good, because before the reform and opening up, China has always been a mysterious country, and foreigners' impression of the Chinese people is hearsay, and even deliberately ugly, so in many countries, they are excluded and despised, just like many Chinese people discriminate against Dongying people or Africans.

The reason why the sick man of East Asia is widely known is the famous martial artist Bruce Lee's "Jingwumen", which has attracted the blood of hundreds of millions of Chinese people. But the term first appeared in the late Qing Dynasty, in a newspaper run by an Englishman.

The word is well-known to the world, originating from the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games, Huaxia declared nearly 30 events, sent a delegation of 69 people, the tragedy is that only one person entered the semi-finals, and the rest of the players were eliminated in the preliminary round, and finally there was no harvest, and the whole army was wiped out. He was ridiculed by cartoons created by foreigners and inscribed 'The Sick Man of East Asia'.

In recent years, the status of Chinese people in the world has improved significantly, but there are still a considerable number of foreigners who still stay on the most primitive cognition, and this James, who has a slight race, race, and discriminatory tendencies, is obviously one of them.

Lu Zheng was angry in his heart, his face was full of smiles, and he stretched out his hand very politely and said, "Then please give me a lot of advice." ”

James was stunned for a moment, a hint of sinister appeared in his eyes, and he held Lu Zheng's hand tightly, and his palm exerted force, trying to give him a dismount.

That's what I'm waiting for.

Lu Zheng smiled narrowly, and his palm exerted force slightly.

James's face turned blue all of a sudden, and his hands were bruised, and his hands were as if they were caught by a pair of tongs, and the force was so great that his joints were squeezed together, and his heart ached.

"Ah......" A layer of cold sweat oozed from his head, and James, who wanted to resist stubbornly, found that he couldn't bear it even for a second, screamed miserably, felt that his whole hand was crispy, and couldn't help but shout: "release!"

Lu Zheng smiled faintly and said, "What? I don't understand?

“mary！”

"Let him go!" James' female partner screamed.

Lu Zheng lazily let go of his hand, and said with an unapologetic face: "Oh, I said it earlier." I thought that the longer you shake hands, the more respect you show in foreign customs. ”

"Hiss......" James rubbed his hands, gasped, and looked at Lu Zheng in fear, he really couldn't imagine that a white and pure Asian like him would have so much strength.

There was a round of applause outside.

"Let's give a round of applause to Mr. Evan for his wonderful magic show. ”

Evan, who was wearing a tuxedo, stepped down from the stage and saw James who was gasping with his hands in shock, "Hey, James, it's your turn." What's wrong with you? Do you have cramps in your hands?"

James barely moved his knuckles and forced a smile, "No, I'm fine." ”

On the stage, the passionate voice of the host said: "This is the stage of the magic stars, here is the podium of the magic champions, and tonight is the moment of the showdown of the magic stars." Three magicians of different nationalities will stage a peak showdown here. Witness the performance of the magic champions, feel the fierce competition in the magic arena, and witness the incredible moment of miracle. 2015 Costa Magic Championship, Central Centre for the Performing Arts, Special Dedication!
