"What's the name of this trick?"
The old man smiled slightly and replied: "This one is called Fire Alchemy Ghost!"
"Okay!"< /p>
The audience immediately burst into applause and cheers.
The old man didn't say much, tied the cotton thread to the copper coin, and let the copper coin hang in the air.
Then the old man danced and muttered something.
Suddenly!
The old man’s fingers actually burned.
"Ouch." Someone exclaimed.
"Here, daddy, water."
The child handed over a bowl of water, and the old man took it.
Taking saliva and spraying it on the ignited fingers, the small flame suddenly turned into a bunch of flames!
"Heavenly Thunder, Earthly Fire Alchemy Ghost."
The old man shouted loudly and lit the cotton thread with the flame in his hand.
The cotton thread quickly burned and soon turned into a burned-out black thread.
Although it burned to a carbon color, the thread was still continuous, and the copper coin hung in the air and did not fall to the ground.
At this moment, the old man said to Mr. Su from a distance: "The golden ghost has been refined. This is the golden cave of Tongshan. I wish the Su family will make more gold every day and be surrounded by pearls and greenery!"
"Okay, okay!"
Mr. Su was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.
"Look and enjoy!"
The child received the red envelope and was overjoyed.
Go back and open the red paper. There are two gold coins inside.
When the old man saw him, he immediately knelt down with the child and bowed several times to Mrs. Su.
You must not worship.
According to Lin Yi's estimation, these two gold coins are equivalent to twenty taels of silver, which is enough for the two of them to work for two and three months.
However, the secret of this second trick did not escape Lin Yi's eyes, and it was not difficult to deduce.
My fingers were burning. It must be that the old man had hidden camphor powder, phosphorus and sulfur on his body in advance.
During the performance, secretly put it on your fingers.
Since phosphorus and sulfur are easily volatile, they will burn upon contact and will not hurt your fingers.
The bowl of water that the child gave the old man was actually wine. When the wine met the flame, it instantly turned into flames.
As for the continuous burning of the kapok, it should be because the kapok was soaked in salt brine and then dried in the sun.
Although it was later burned to ashes, it continues to exist due to the strong cohesion of chemical effects.
......
The old man stood up and said to the child: "My child, they have given us so much reward, do we have to repay them?"
The child's childish voice replied: "Dad, you often say that a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. Of course we should repay others."
"How to repay?"< /p>
"We travel around the world selling crafts, so let's perform some unique skills for others to see."
"Then what unique skills should we perform?"
"Only the Immortal Cord may be able to open Mr. Su's horizons."
As soon as he heard that it was the Immortal Cord, someone immediately took the lead in shouting.
"Okay! That's it!"
Even though some people at the scene had already seen it, the trick was so magical that they wanted to see it several more times, and naturally they cheered along.
And those who had only heard of its name but had never seen it were even more anxious and cheered loudly, fearing that the old man and his son would change their minds.
Seeing that Lin Yi was also cheering, Duolong asked: "Brother Lin, what is this fairy rope? Is it wonderful?"
"You can take a look later. I knew it right away, and it was quite magical."
After all, there were so many tricks, but this one was the only one that Lin Yi never saw through.
......
"Child, bring me the immortal!"
The old man did not pretend to be mysterious, and in the shouts from the audience , and started performing directly.
The child took out a sack and placed it at the old man's feet.
"Dad, the gods have got it."
The old man leaned down, took out a ball of rope from the sack, grabbed the end of the rope and threw it over his head, and the rope Rising higher and higher!
After all, this stage is set up in the hall, not like the ground arch that shoots straight into the sky.
But the top of the platform was surrounded by clouds and mist, and the rope could not be seen clearly when it entered, and it was constantly being pulled upward.
After a while, the ball of rope came to an end.
Everyone looked at the clouds on the stage, floating in the sky, enduring for a long time, and couldn't help but marvel.
The old man tugged on the rope and said to the child as he did when he was on the ground last time: "Son, I am old and stupid. Come on, remember to go to the garden of the Queen Mother. Pick a fairy peach and give it to Mr. Su who celebrates his birthday today." After that, he handed the rope to the child.
Although the top of the platform is not as high as the sky, it is still as high as eight or nine adults.
At that time, the lobby of wealthy people was very spacious, and dozens of people could squat on it with a large beam on top.
The child took it, pulled the rope, moved his hands and kicked, and disappeared in the clouds in the blink of an eye.
After a while, a peach as big as a bowl fell from the sky, and the old man caught it with his quick eyes and hands.
He wiped it with his sleeve, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he stepped forward and handed it to Mr. Su.
"Mr. Su, the flat peaches from the Queen Mother's garden are here to celebrate your birthday."
Mr. Su took it with a smile and put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully.
The quality is excellent, crystal clear and round, and seems to be a bit better than the tribute peaches that go to the capital.
This old man Su was also a traveler, but he had never seen a peach with such good looks throughout Yuzhou.
"Xiu'er, I'll give you this fairy peach. Eat it."
This sentence alone is enough to show how favored Su Xiu'er is in the Su family.
ThisThere was only one peach, and Mr. Su was reluctant to eat it, so he gave it to his granddaughter, which proved his love for Su Xiu'er.
Su Can quickly stepped forward and said: "Dad, today is your birthday. These peaches are longevity peaches. Only you can eat them. If we, the younger generation, eat them, our longevity will be shortened."
After listening to Su Can's words, Mr. Su took Taozi back to him.
"Dad, please try it."
Su Huan nodded and took a bite. It was unexpectedly soft and glutinous.
It is big, thin-skinned and full of fragrance.
You can smell the fragrance from those sitting in front of the main hall.
"Oh, this fairy peach is indeed extraordinary. If the old man eats it, he will live a long life." The magistrate praised.
Ding Song stood up quickly and said, "Tomorrow our yamen will also hold a show. Please ask the father and son to send you flat peaches."
The county magistrate heard this and stroked his beard, nodded and smiled.
After delivering the peaches, the old man returned to the stage.
As soon as he reached the bottom of the rope, the originally straight rope suddenly seemed to be broken and fell to the ground quickly from the air.
Lin Yi stared closely at the rope and the old man on the stage, fearing to miss any detail.
He knew that the most exciting part was coming.
Sure enough, just like last time, the old man's expression changed when he saw this, and he exclaimed: "Oh no, God must have discovered my son stealing peaches and cut the rope. My son is in danger!" "
As soon as he finished speaking, a bloody thing fell.
Everyone could clearly see that it was the child’s head!
There was an exclamation from the front row immediately.
The people behind quickly stood up, looked forward, and started shouting too.
Duolong was chewing on a rib. When he heard the noise, he raised his head and looked around. When he saw it clearly, he couldn't help but fell back, and the rib stick almost got stuck in his throat again.
Lin Yi knew that the head was fake.
But I have to praise the old man’s acting skills.
If someone is unaware of this, they will definitely think that everything that happens before them is true.
The old man held the head in his hands and cried loudly.
"My son is really miserable. He must have been doomed when he was found torn into pieces by that god."
Following this, another human foot, limbs and body fell out of the mist. Half body.
This cutscene is the same as the performance on the ground, there is no difference.
Lin Yi frowned slightly and stared at the old man as he put the child's stump into the wooden box and closed the lid.
Lin Yi could clearly see from his position that the wooden box was indeed empty at first, and the child must not be hiding in it.
Putting the wooden box in place, the old man knelt down facing everyone.
"This old man only has one son. He follows me around as a performer and does not live a good life. But I ask all the gentlemen here to give me some burial money so that my son can be buried in peace."
Everyone at the scene was shocked.
Is this true?Is it false?
Logically speaking, this is a trick and should be fake, but the old man is sincere and seems to be real.
What many people didn’t expect was that today, two pieces of money would be given out, one for happiness and one for mourning...
Mrs. Su was also affected by this matter. The son was confused and quickly asked his servants to bring some silver.
Duolong was also about to pay, but was stopped by Lin Yi.
"Don't worry, it's enough."
After hearing this, Duolong still wanted to take out the money and said: "No matter how much it is, it is given by others, and I have to express my feelings. ."
"False." Lin Yi said quietly.
"Fake?" Duolong raised his eyebrows in surprise.
The old man received a lot of money, wiped the tears from his face, patted the wooden box, and shouted: "My son, why don't you come out to thank me for the reward!"
Lin Yi waited for the scene where the lid of the box was pushed open and the child jumped out of the box, but after waiting for a while, the wooden box didn't move at all.
The old man's expression suddenly changed, and he patted the wooden box again.
Before the old man could speak, he heard a "pop" and something fell from the cloud...
