Chapter 56: Dancing with Dragons

Seeing that the situation was chaotic, the tour guide took out a simple tin horn and comforted him loudly: "Tourists, don't panic, these two killer whales have no malicious intentions, they are just joking with us!" ”

Not only that, but one of the tour guides also mentioned two silver carp, and he beckoned to the two killer whales and shouted, "Two lazy worms, come and have breakfast!" ”

The two killer whales clearly understood what he meant, their large, basin-like eyes staring at the guide, stretching their graceful, streamlined bodies and speeding in this direction.

Less than two feet from the shore, the guide tossed the two fish in his hand high and fell in the direction of the killer whale.

On the ground, the two giant beasts jumped out of the lake, opened their huge mouths, and both caught the silver carp with great precision, and the huge body was majestic and dazzling in the sun, which made people admire.

Seeing this, Yuan Shu was also playful, he caught a few silver carp, beckoned to Cao Ang, and shouted with a smile: "Good nephew, go and tease the killer whale with your uncle!" ”

Cao Ang's childlike heart was still untouched, he broke free from Cao Hong, and jumped to Yuan Shu's side, and the two shouted in unison: "One, two, three, throw!" ”

Cao Hong was inconvenient to stop at this time, he was dissatisfied in his heart, and muttered to Yuan Shu: "What about Uncle Yet?" Obviously one month younger than my brother Meng De, he is thick-skinned! ”

Yuan Shu didn't hear the dissatisfaction of others. Each of his servants carried a large wooden barrel, each containing a dozen silver carp. At this moment, Yuan Shu is like a naughty boy, competing with Cao Ang to catch fish from the bucket, and the two are competing to see who throws fast and who throws accurately.

As long as you throw the fish, the two killer whales will change their tricks to receive them - one moment jumps out of the lake and "grabs a rebound"; After a while, I quickly flip 360 degrees in the water, and then easily catch the food... Another time, I threw the silver carp in the air again with its tail fin, and then opened its mouth, and the fish fell right into the mouth! They are natural actors, and their wonderful performances make the visitors applaud, and the previous fears have long been blown away by the wind!

The human-whale interaction lasted for nearly half an hour, and the two killer whales had almost eaten breakfast, and the horn sounded again. The sea beast immediately turned around and swam towards the center of the lake, and its well-behaved level was definitely far better than that of the pet cats and dogs at home.

At this moment, two well-proportioned young men walked onto the wooden bridge in the middle of the lake, wearing a close-fitting water cushion made of whale skin, waiting for the whale to swim closer, and the two of them were freshly baked killer whale trainers. When the sharp whistle echoed in the middle of the lake, the surrounding managers and tour guides shouted in unison: "Whale jumps over the dragon gate!" Let's see. ”

Tourists around scramble to raise their eyes to look at each other, only to see the two sea monsters continue to accelerate towards the wooden bridge to swim, less than three zhang away from the bridge, two behemoths suddenly jumped out of the water, two feet away from the water in the air leaping and gliding, when crossing the wooden bridge, the two sturdy animal trainers standing under the huge body seem so small! The splash of water on their bodies suddenly enveloped the two of them, and when they saw that they were about to become soup chickens, suddenly, the man in front of them raised his hands upward, and no one knew what he was going to do! However, I saw a large cowhide umbrella flying and spinning, as if by magic, appearing above the heads of the two animal trainers out of thin air, and the water curtain that fell from the canopy on the head and face was immediately thrown horizontally by the rotating umbrella surface, and the flowers fluttered, forming a dazzling and strange close-up.

Originally, the momentum of Mount Tai made the onlookers all frightened and worried about their safety, but now these two people are like a small bridge walking, not touching the water. It's amazing and amazing. Yuan Shu high-fived and praised: "Strong, wonderful!" ”

The moment the killer whale landed on the other side of the bridge, the gong sounded, and the killer whale heard it, stopped its body, and really did the order.

The two young animal trainers on the bridge suddenly let out a strange roar, jumped off the wooden bridge, and jumped towards the sea beast, and soon they turned over the tail of the fish. The killer whale immediately swam, pulled a distance of three or four feet, and stopped in a straight line, opposite each other with its tail.

At this time, the drum beat loudly, and two pairs of tail fins were suddenly raised high and thrown up, and the two people standing on the tail were immediately thrown into the air, and their vigorous posture crossed an arc in the air and passed by, and then landed accurately on the tail fin of another killer whale. When the drum beat again, the whale tail swung again, and the two were sent into the air... Three times and twice, the action is exquisite and chic, which makes people overwhelmed. Its excitement is no less than that of the trapeze acrobatics of later generations.

After the performance, the animal trainers jumped onto the wooden bridge to the cheers of the people, saluted the surrounding spectators, and retreated to the lakeshore for a short rest. At this time, four strong men rushed out of the bridge, two of them carrying large wooden shields. They came to the center of the wooden bridge, and the other two took out a new thing from their waists, one end is like the hand-pressure pump commonly used in the countryside when there was no running water in later generations, made of bronze, three feet long, three or four inches in diameter, and the tail is followed by a canvas water pipe, which is the latest "pumping machine" produced by Qingzhou Institute of Technology.

After the commissioning of the pumping machine, the horn on the shore was also sounded. The two beasts turned their heads and swam to the edge of the bridge, stopping at four or five feet and raising their heads and whining at the four people on the wooden bridge.

The two of them aimed the pump at the sea beast, pulled down the pressure rod, and the water dragon in the copper pipe suddenly spewed out far away, shooting right on the heads of the two killer whales. The killer whales swung their heads and immediately responded with a shot back, and two thick and sharp jets of water shot out of their nostrils and were about to land on the four men in the wooden bridge.

The two shield-wielding men hurriedly protected their teammates who were playing with water dragons. The curtain of water that fell from the sky hit the shield, and several people were staggered, but they also stood. The two people hiding behind are still fighting with water dragons, and several water arrows are sprayed on the big eyes of the killer whales from time to time, which makes the killer whales annoyed, and the big head on the left side suddenly gulfs down, and then suddenly the huge mouth is wide open, only to hear a loud noise, a water column with a diameter of more than three feet like a giant python flies on the bridge deck, and the powerful water instantly knocks the big shield into the air, and several people are also drenched worse than the soup chicken, and stumbles and falls into the lake.

This man-whale water battle is funny and chic, making visitors laugh... The earth-shattering war drums sounded again, and when the tour guides saw this, they grabbed the earthen iron horn one after another, tore open their throats and reminded loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, please pay attention, the finale 'Dancing with Dragons' is about to be staged!" ”

In full view of the public, two young animal trainers appeared on the stage, carrying hemp rope in their hands, and on their shoulders carried a smooth wooden plank with two slightly upturned ends, five feet long and nearly two feet wide, with curved ends and a foot cover in front of the board near the middle, which turned out to be a water skiing board.

After saluting the tourists around the lake, the two mermaids jumped into the water and quickly swam to the killer whales.

After the twine was tied to the whale's tail, they put on their wakeboards and blew their whistles.

When the whales heard the news, they suddenly accelerated and jumped forward, gradually leading the two behind them to glide like speedboats.

Pulling the long rope tightly, the two skillfully drove the skateboard on the lake, and the waves splashed under their feet, stirring up a scene of water walls, which was very magnificent!

After a while, the sea beast's traction speed was faster, the waves behind him were churning, and the beast tamer on the left stepped on a four-foot-high crest, he suddenly squatted down, and by inertia he turned a 360-degree difficult rotation in the air, and landed steadily on the water.

The audience on the shore was first startled, and then burst into thunderous applause!

His companions were not to be left behind, sometimes he danced on the water, sometimes he slid on the foot of the board, or lying on his back, or like a snake shuttling on the surface of the lake, and his wonderful performance also made people applaud!

These two people stepped on skateboards, tread the wind and waves, flew up and down, like butterflies wearing flowers, and like Lingbo micro-steps, turning the sky on the water, it was simply dazzling and overwhelming...

Xuanwu Pond's stunning "Dancing with Dragons" has attracted countless envy. It is said that it didn't take long for this novel and exciting water skiing to be copied in the Han Dynasty, with their ability, the sea beast killer whale don't think about it, but the clipper can also be sloppy instead, and the clippers are named dragon boats. Soon, the monkey version of "Dancing with Dragons" became popular in Kyushu.

When the curtain fell on the show, the wooden bridge in the middle of the lake was opened to visitors on a limited basis, allowing people to interact with the sea beasts up close.

But there are only 20 indicators, and the tickets are 20 per person.

Yuan Shu didn't wait for the tour guide to introduce him to finish playing, so he pulled Cao Ang onto the wooden bridge, Cao Hong hesitated, wanted to go to the bridge but was reluctant to pay for the silver, his fat body just blocked the bridge.

At this moment, a strong man with a leopard's head and eyes squeezed him away, and he was unsteady on his feet, and almost fell into the lake. Cao Hong was about to scold, but he was hit on the shoulder again and slipped with one foot. Fortunately, the tour guide next to him was quick and pulled him back, Cao Hong was angry and was about to scold, but the red-faced man who hit him turned around and glared at him, the cold light was like a sharp arrow, Cao Hong was frightened, and the words came out of his mouth and immediately came to a 180-degree turn: "It's the brother who is wrong, blocking everyone's way, forgive sins, forgive sins." ”

The two are Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. The two of them hurried with Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang's caravan. When they arrived at Donglai Ground, Zhang Shiping hired a local know-it-all as a guide for the two of them, and let them visit for a few days first, so that they could have a rough understanding of the place. After some explanations, the two wealthy businessmen went into several big cities in Donglai separately to look for business opportunities.

There are more and more tourists on the bridge, Cao Hong counted that there were seventeen or eighteen people, he was so anxious that he gritted his teeth and took out his pocket and walked up the bridge to the center of the lake.

The tin horn sounded again on the small bridge; Distinguished guests, please enjoy a few works by the great painters. Several staff members immediately held up a few portraits and immediately introduced to the twenty VIP tourists, this is "Whale Jumping Dragon Gate", this is "Flying Trapeze", it is "Dancing with Dragons"... Tourists immediately gathered around, weren't these paintings the scene at that time? The things in the scene are so vivid that they are as if they were there! When everyone gave a thumbs up and gave a sigh of admiration, the horn sounded again: Do you want to dance with whales? My master painter of Xuanwu Pond will paint for you on the spot, the whole process is free of charge, limited to one person, there is only one chance, first come, first served.

I think that the people of our time go out to play just to take some photos, and then upload them to the WeChat circle of friends to show off the limelight.

Everyone was hesitating, Yuan Shu was a little eager to try, when he glanced at the sea beast, the sea beast seemed to have a sense, its pair of giant eyes as big as a lantern suddenly swept towards Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu couldn't help but shudder, frightened and trembling, no longer able to rise to this thought.

"I'm coming!" Everyone looked back, only to see a big man with a leopard head and eyes squeezing through the crowd. This person's voice is like a bell, he took off his coat, under the guidance of an animal trainer, jumped on the back of the whale, according to the beast trainer's command, posed a variety of POSS, his person to the killer whale as a ride, looking majestic, this big man is Zhang Fei.

On the small bridge in the middle of the lake, four painters set up easels and began to paint Zhang Fei at different angles. Soon several sketches of watercolor with whales from different angles took shape, in the picture, Zhang Fei's mighty image of flying the sea beast jumped on the paper, the people who watched the painting were amazed and admired, which aroused Zhang Fei's curiosity, he jumped on the wooden bridge to look at it, and was surprised and delighted, he was also an expert in painting beauties, and asked urgently: "What kind of painting technique is this, more real than the things in the mirror?" ”

Zhang Fei's vision is good. This technique is obviously far ahead of its time, and I taught it to these artists by hand. At the beginning, in order to make the basalt pool popular, I taught some perspective principles and sketching techniques in later generations... Today, there are current results.

The painter replied proudly: "This is created by my lord Lord Shi Shen, how can it be worse!" ”

Zhang Fei was secretly happy when he heard this: This trip to Qingzhou is the right one, the legendary Shen Changshi is not only good at martial arts, but also a master of painting, I must go to visit him. He suddenly saw that Guan Yu was also contemplating a few of his photos, so he said to a painter beside him: "Sir, can you also make a few photos for my brother Guan?" ”

The painter nodded, and asked people to lead Guan Yu to get close to the sea beast. Guan Yu was serious, and he didn't want Zhang Fei to break the bank, so he shook his head and refused. Zhang Fei knew this person's stubborn temper, so he begged the painter again: "Can you paint for him on the bridge?" After saying that, he bowed to the painter again.

The painter didn't answer, and a few other people circled around Guan Yu a few times, and soon swiped to paint, less than a meal, a few mighty images with killer whales as the background were brilliantly written, and Guan Yu was also happy to praise each other, and when Yuan Dagongzi saw this, he squeezed close to the painter regardless of the image. He was overjoyed and asked the artist aloud: "I don't have to go into the water, can I make a portrait of 'Dancing with Whales'?" ”

The artist replied simply, "Yes." ”

After speaking, he took out a large stack of sketches, all the pictures have one thing in common, that is, with the Xuanwu Pond as the background, with the killer whale as the first supporting role, but the killer whale is still a little hazy, and there is still a large amount of flying white in some places, obviously it needs to be further processed to be considered a complete work...

The painter showed them one by one in front of Yuan Shu's eyes, and took the trouble to explain and introduce them - this is "Dancing with Whales", this is "The Game of the Brave"; This is the "Fish Leaping Dragon Gate"... Just insert your glorious image into the picture and you're done.

Yuan Shu was a smart man, and he understood at once: the background painting seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and there were more than a dozen versions. You can choose which scene you like. He thought it was funny, this kind of way of putting himself in the shoes of tourists was really amazing, Yuan Shu immediately ordered the shore servants to go to the management office to pay the money, and after picking out a few background pictures, he waited for the photo with great anticipation.

On the lakeside, Jia Xu Tianchou watched the superb performances of killer whales and animal trainers, while secretly thinking about the great value brought by this basalt pool. Now, they didn't go up to the bridge to join in the fun. But as soon as the wooden bridge was launched, the high-priced on-site photo for tourists to paint as a souvenir immediately attracted the attention of the two, seeing those high-rollers scrambling to pay the bill, the two looked at each other and smiled, and they all looked at Guo Jia and shouted in unison: "Amazing, it's nothing more than turning stones into gold!" ”
