Since ancient times, all people with prestige can be sought after by everyone, so as to obtain huge practical benefits, and many times, the so-called prestige is just a trick to deceive people, when an emperor raises troops, he can pretend to be a god and fool the public, and when he governs the country, he will also pretend to be a god and a ghost, so that the people are obedient.

Others, who also like to pretend to be gods and ghosts and seek their own interests, must obey the greatest rights and interests, that is, the ruling class, so that they can pretend to be gods and fool ordinary people in a righteous and bright way.

In other words, everyone wants to seek the best interests for themselves by pretending to be gods and ghosts, and anger is on the public, and there will inevitably be conflicts, if both people say that they have been guided by the heavens and have come to the mortal world to rule the masses, then who should the people believe? These two people, who represent the Son of Heaven, are naturally going to clash.

Of course, if one of them claims that he is guided by the heavens and the lower realm to assist the Son of Heaven, then there will be no contradiction, and the two people who pretend to be gods and ghosts can be brothers, one is responsible for being the emperor and the other is responsible for being the minister.

However, many magicians in ancient times were simply performing magic tricks to seek huge benefits for themselves, but did not have a good relationship with the ruling class or the church, and did not deliberately serve them, so when their prestige increased, it would pose a huge threat to the ruling class and the church.

When the common people are all obsessed with magicians and worship magicians as gods, then the ruling class and the church will be very nervous, and in their eyes, the ignorant people should follow them, how can they bow down to the insignificant magicians? If the situation is allowed to develop, one day, the magician suddenly raises the anti-flag, will these ignorant ordinary people follow the magician to rebel? If these ignorant people give all their money to the magicians, how can they have more money to honor the church and the court?

Therefore, no matter from that point of view, as long as these famous magicians are unwilling to serve the court and the church, then they must be persecuted, so that they can better protect the vested interests of the court and the church, so that they can always ride on the heads of the people and be powerful.

As magicians became more and more popular, so did their persecution, from the death penalty during the reign of King Henry VIII to the brutal massacre of witches by the end of the 16th century.

In the later period, all magicians were threatened with their lives, and in this case, they had to share the secrets of magic, and if they didn't share, they would be killed, so the first English magic books were born.

In these magic books, the origin of magic is explained in detail, and all readers are told that magic is nothing more than a trick to deceive people by using some natural phenomena, and in this way, the church has no reason to say that magicians are doing black magic, because it is not magic at all, it is a trick to deceive people.

Since it is a deceptive trick to use natural phenomena, then the influence of these magicians among the masses has been greatly reduced, and the threat to the ruling class and the church has ceased to exist, in this case, the magician has become a very ordinary artist, and the persecution of an ordinary artist, a person who poses no threat to the court and the church, is obviously unnecessary.

However, after revealing the secret of magic, the magic show industry did not fall silent, but made great strides forward, because before the birth of movies and TV series, the entertainment for the masses was really very limited.

Although many people know that magic is a trick to deceive people, many curious viewers still like to watch it, and even, there are many people who open their eyes wide to see how the magician does magic and how he deceives his eyes through magic.

With the rise of the theater, the magician found a new stage, the magician will skillfully combine lighting and stage effects, and start a new era of magic, since then, the magician has reached the pinnacle of history, many magic tricks were born in order to cater to the theater, in the late nineteenth century, magic performances ushered in a golden age, magic performances everywhere are full, magicians were wearing formal tuxedos at that time, just like the audience who went to the theater at that time, which is also the origin of the magician tuxedo performance.

And with the development of the film industry, the aura of magicians has gradually been replaced, but the magic industry has never disappeared, after all, there are still many people who like to watch magic shows.

Li An casually did a magic show, and Li Xiaolu was shocked, this magic trick that caught fire in the palm of his hand was very simple, and many magicians in later generations basically knew this trick, and there was nothing to be surprised about, just because Li Xiaolu had never seen it, so he thought it was more amazing.

"Li Shilang, how did this fire come about?"

Li Xiaolu still doesn't believe in the so-called Tianhuo, and still feels that Li An is lying to him, he feels that the fire in Li An's hand is conjured up in some way, and this is enough to show that this little girl is not stupid.

"Smell, what's the smell?"

Li An put his palm on the tip of Li Xiaolu's nose and let Li Xiaolu smell it well.

"Haha! I see, this trick is fun! ”

Li Xiaolu smelled the smell of a substance and said with a smile.

The beauty of the sunrise is only in an instant, in the casual conversation and laughter between Ang Li and Li Xiaolu, the sun has already risen high, and the cold feeling just now is no longer there, replaced by the dazzling sun's rays.

This may be what a great man in later generations said, the sun at eight or nine o'clock! However, this is not the time yet, but there is already a dazzling trend.

The seashore will smell more or less fishy, but when you reach the depths of the sea, you won't smell the fishy smell at all, because the sea is too big, and no matter how much fishy there is, it will be diluted by the huge seawater, and it will disappear completely without a trace.

After that, Ang Lee performed a few more magic tricks, but did not deceive Li Xiaolu, but after Li Xiaolu's many requests, he handed over the magic skills to Li Xiaolu, and let this little girl learn to perform, however, Li Xiaolu's qualifications are really a little poor, and Ang Lee has not taught for a long time.

Although magic is a false trick to deceive people, but this technology is also very demanding on people, not anyone can perform magic, the most basic quality of performing magic is to react fast enough, if the reaction speed is particularly slow, any magic can not be performed, because if the speed is very slow, anyone can see how it has changed, so, how can it become magic, it can be said that there is no magic at all.

Therefore, learning the technique of magic is also very hard, you must practice repeatedly, practice the speed of reaction, when the speed exceeds the ability of the human eye to discriminate, the magic trick will be successful, and if the speed is not enough to exceed the ability of the human eye to discriminate, the magic will fail.

Ang Lee also liked to watch magic very much in his previous life, how most of the magic changed, Ang Lee really didn't know, but there were a small number of magic changes, but Ang Lee knew, this is also because some magicians were unqualified and the speed was a little slower, so that Ang Lee didn't see the flaws.

For example, there is a black strip of cloth, and the magician only needs to flick it lightly, and the black strip of cloth will become colorful, which is very magical and very interesting.

Ang Lee watched it for many years and didn't know how it changed, until one time, when watching a guy who didn't learn very well, Ang Lee discovered the mystery, it turned out that this cloth strip was a barrel, just like a person's sleeve, but the color inside and outside is different, just turn the inside over, and the color will change, very simple.

But if you slowly get the color out inside, a fool can see what's going on, and only a quick flick can make people unable to see what's going on, so that they think the magician is very powerful.

Due to the lack of skill, when the magician touched the inner layer, his fingers slipped, so, he got it a little more, so that the spectators all found out, which caused a violent laughter for a while, and the ugly magician could only continue to perform, after all, these are just ordinary street performances, not important occasions, even if they are seen through, it doesn't matter much, and besides, everyone in later generations knows that magic is fake, so, when they see how to fake, On the contrary, there will be a very excited feeling in my heart, at least the mystery in my heart has been solved, which is still very good.

Magic can only satisfy people's curiosity for a while, and if you watch magic every day, people will be very tired, for example, if you let a person eat meat every day, you will soon get tired.

It takes a long time to travel from the northern ports of Egypt to the distant ports of Gibraltar in Spain, and the journey is long enough, so you have to find something to do, or you will be bored to death.

Work is a part, and there is also entertainment and pastime, isn't a person's life spent in constant work and entertainment?

Li An's work is quite simple, nothing more than listening to the reports of his subordinates, designing topographic maps of various bases in Datang, or improving the structure of the Datang Canal, so that the Datang Canal is more perfect, these tasks are very easy work for Li An, and there is not too much difficulty, and the rest of the chores and tiring work are all done by his subordinates, Li An does not need to do it himself, otherwise, wouldn't it be to exhaust Li An to death.

As for entertainment and pastime, Ang Lee enjoys more, eating delicious food is a kind of enjoyment, holding a cute little beauty is also a kind of enjoyment, and seeing beautiful scenery is of course a kind of enjoyment, in short, doing anything is a kind of enjoyment, as long as you don't go to work, don't do dirty work, it can be called enjoyment and entertainment.

In later generations, the weather was not very good, and there were many lights at night in the city, so it was difficult for a person to take a good look at the stars in the sky.

But the air in this era of Datang is very good, at least, much stronger than the industrial pollution planet of later generations, during the day, the sky can be very blue, and at night, the stars in the sky are not only very numerous, but also very clear, it is not difficult to see countless stars at a glance.

It is a pleasure to look at the stars in the night sky on the ground, and it is another kind of enjoyment to stand on the boat and watch the stars, and it will be clearer and more romantic to see the stars lying on the big boat.

It's just that if you specialize in astronomical observation, it's better to be on a relatively static ground, because the ship is too shaky, and the observation will be inaccurate, but there is no such problem on the ground, and it can be observed very accurately.

The last time he was in the car, Ang Lee had already explained some astronomical knowledge to Li Xiaolu, and even focused on some of the more important and famous stars, and at this moment, being in a boat, looking at the stars has become a hobby for everyone.

After all, the sea is relatively monotonous and boring, in addition to the blue sky and white clouds during the day, it is blue water, and once it is night, it is all dark around, and only the stars are left to see, so it is natural to look at the stars It has become a hobby for all people who sail on the sea.

The most famous Cowherd Vega, Sirius, and the Big Dipper, these planets have already been told to Li Xiaolu, but there are too many famous stars in the sky, and there are many stars worth talking about.

For example, the old man's star, which is slightly fainter than Sirius, is a star worth talking about.

"Xiaolu, have you heard of the old man?"

Ang Lee asked.

Li Xiaolu shook her head and said, "No, of course not, I've never heard of it, the old man star, is it a very old star?" ”

Li An pointed to the south, looked at it for a long time but did not find any trace of the old man, and said disappointedly: "The old man star is a star, below the southern Sirius, however, there is no old man star in the sky now, maybe it is too short to be blocked by the horizon!" ”

I thought I could find the old man star, but Li An didn't find the slightest thing after looking for a long time, after all, the location of the old man star is too far south, and it is not easy to see the old man star in the northern hemisphere, and even, the position very far north, you will never see the old man star.

"It looks like the old man is playing hide and seek with us, it's so interesting!"

Li Xiaolu said with a smile.

Ang Lee likes Li Xiaolu's cute appearance, how you look at it, how you like it, I like it to the core.
