Chapter 10: Magic Show (2)
"Sister Ayou, what about you? Ah Hai said you fell off a cliff? β
"Yes, the rebels forced me to the top of the mountain, and Ah Hai persuaded me to surrender. But I am the master of Taibai Mountain, and I would rather die than give in, and jump off the cliff. At the foot of Mount Taibai is the Valley of Hell, and since ancient times, those who fall to the bottom of the valley have no chance of survival. Therefore, it is not unreasonable for him to say that he fell off a cliff and died. β
Qin Beiyang took two steps back: "Could it be that it is a ghost in front of me?" β
"The white crane saved me!"
"White cranes? The dream three years ago, a long hundred days, as if there was that shadow in the dream......"
"It seems that the hypnotism and pills at that time were quite effective, and they were able to erase some of your memories, leaving only vague dreams."
"Hypnosis? Erase memories? Qin Beiyang's vest became more and more cold, and he didn't dare to approach Ah You in front of him, "Are you all taught by Freud and Jung?" β
Ah You is a natural actor, what she looks like, and now her various postures are like a middle-aged lady, and the corners of her mouth smiled coldly: "The technique of hypnosis has existed in China since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period." Eight hundred years ago, the heavenly garden of Assasin, an old man in the mountains of Persia, also used hypnotism and psychedelics to make the Assassins believe that they were dead, and that they were in heaven and that they would not be afraid of life and death. β
"Three years ago, in the spring, why did you put me back in the Old Summer Palace in Beijing from Taibai Mountain?"
"Is Beiyang a thing in the pool?"
"This ...... Also because, more than ten years ago, I saved your life next to the underground palace of Emperor Guangxu's mausoleum? β
He sat down panting and almost took off his fake beard.
"Brother, if you save my life, I will save your ten lives!" Ah You trembled like a swing, "I believe that you will come to save me." Brother, you are the only one who can save Taibai Mountain. But I also think that now that the assassins in all of China have been controlled by Ah Hai, the strength of the two of us alone cannot recapture Taibai Mountain, and there must be a helper. β
"So, you thought of Michael?" Qin Beiyang paced in the cave, "Because you have a life-saving grace for him in Paris?" β
Michael performs magic tricks in the Shanghai Public Concession while being hired by the New York Mafia Godfather to assassinate several American triad bosses. I rushed to Shanghai first and invited him to Taibai Mountain to help me take revenge. Michael was a warm-hearted, life-threatening and faithful-minded man who swore in Paris that if I asked him for any help, he would never give up. β
"So, you made this crazy plan, and the last thing is to find me out of the White Deer Plain."
Ah You nodded and said, "The three of us must work together to succeed in tonight's operation - and your nine colors are also the key to success or failure." But unexpectedly, under the Bailuyuan Rubik's Cube Tomb, Xiaomu actually threw himself into the net. So, I got another weight to make Ah Hai trust us. β
"By the way, what about Meng Po from the Heavenly Kingdom Academy? Is she still alive? β
"On the eve of the Ah Hai rebellion, Meng Po went into retreat and cultivated, and there is no trace of him so far. This is also a good time for Ah Hai to choose, if Meng Po is here, this rebellion will not succeed. β
Qin Beiyang remembered another face: "What about the ghost mask teacher?" β
"Ghost masks? He is a maverick being, unbound by the discipline of the Assassins, and no one can find him unless he comes to us. This is his prerogative. β
"Another question, how can you speak Cantonese?"
"Taught to me by Meng Po since I was a child, my ancestral home is Huaxian County, Guangdong."
"It turns out that Meng Po is the real master who controls Taibai Mountain from behind the scenes, hurry up and come out and clean up the portal."
"Angel" Michael retreated to the room and said in awkward Chinese: "Can you prepare for the magic show?" β
The world's best magician at killing people, tonight is ready to perform a classic of the magic world: the Great Change!
He took many tools out of the wooden box, reassembled them and put them together to make an iron cage that could fit the size of an adult.
"According to the rules of the magic world, I will tell you both the secret of the great transformation, but don't leak it to others!"
After Michael's repeated admonitions, he explained to Qin Beiyang and Ah You the essentials of this magic trick and how to deal with it at the critical moment - and the most important magic prop is the nine colors dressed as a South American mythical beast.
The sun on Taibai Mountain, the blood flowed all over the field and sank in the black sea of clouds, and the dinner began.
The Hall of Glory was brightly lit, and there were thirty or forty people sitting in the left and right rows. Ah Hai sat at the top, followed by the German Assassin Adolf Luxemburg and the American Assassin Michael "Angel" in second place.
Xiao Mu was actually at the table, he was treated as a VIP by Ah Hai, sitting in a special wooden wheelchair, and his injured right leg was fixed and lifted again with a splint. He was no longer a prisoner, the ropes were all untied, but his fingers could not move or speak, and the sixteen-year-old boy Nakayama was by his side to take care of him and feed him. Obviously, Ah Hai expected him to be incapable of escaping or resisting, so he let him go.
Qin Beiyang saw dozens of wild fruits on the platform, neither like apples nor raw pears, with a layer of rough fluff on the earthy yellow skin, like macaque hair, and an attendant next to him introduced: "This is kiwifruit." β
Grab one and stuff it into your mouth, the taste has never been tasted, the juice is fresh and tender, the flesh is delicate and sweet and sour, and the aftertaste between the teeth is endless. Although this fairy fruit is delicious, can it satisfy hunger?
The soup came up, a big pot, but no oil was in sight. The color is transparent and wafts a strange smell. Everyone didn't have utensils, they just sniffed hard and greedily enjoyed the smell of hot soup. Qin Beiyang was about to faint, so he could only follow the crowd. But the smell keeps pouring into the nostrils, as if it is wrapped in proteins, carbohydrates, electrolytes, calories......
The crowd was silent, as if hypnotized by the smell, and they were full when they smelled it.
In that long dream, the originally vague part slowly became clear, three years ago, in the "Heavenly Academy", a little girl named Fangzi, took Qin Beiyang to eat kiwifruit and nectar soup every day to satisfy her hunger, which was simply a delicacy in the world.
After three years, I returned to the heavenly kingdom on Taibai Mountain again, drank soup, ate peaches, and was no longer hungry, full of strength, refreshed, and deaf and clear.
"The three VIPs must have been accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, this Taibai Mountain diet, I don't know if it is appetizing?" Ah Hai on the throne has a leader's demeanor, "Don't look at the taste of this peach and nectar soup is bland, but when you eat it, it is a delicious delicacy, which can increase people's calories and physical strength, and even has benefits for practice." β
While the guests were eating, the Assassins performed musical instruments for the dinnerβthe guqin, the guzheng, the jinse, the pipa, the yueqin, the taoxun, the sheng, the flute, and the flute......
Michael, a black American, was born with musical cells, and when he heard the applause and dance, he almost sang the blues, and he also rubbed his hands and said, "Lord Hai, can you start a magic show?" β
"Tonight is the big day of Taibai Mountain, and every year at this time, there is a 'Ascension Festival'! How about three VIPs to observe? β
