Light Dance Jiajing

Although Meng'er is not a magician, all the magic tricks that are popular in later generations have been cracked long ago. But she doesn't remember much in her mind. How did the big living person trick work? Well, think about it slowly. The ancients were not so easy to fool. She has to figure it out carefully. Anyway, she has a general direction. She will use the Behemoths to see who can beat whom. So she told Zheng Liu that she can do magic tricks, but Meng'er doesn't want to show up. She wants Zheng Liu to find a few smart, reliable and dexterous people, and find someone to make props. Besides, knowing tricks alone is not enough. Magicians need professional training. She, a half-baked one, can only be a screenwriter. She doesn't care about the specific training. You, Master Zheng, should worry about it.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Liu actually found a Taoist priest. His name was Shao Yuanjie. He was a wandering Taoist priest, but he had a background. Shao Yuanjie practiced in Longhu Mountain in his early years and traveled around in recent years. He and Zheng Liu had met once, and it happened that he came here again recently. As a graduate of the orthodox sect of Longhu Mountain, he naturally looked down on the deceptive and despicable tricks of the White Lotus Sect. Zheng Liu and he hit it off immediately, but were bewitched by the White Lotus Sect. The people were all devoted believers. The White Lotus Sect had taken root here in recent years. If they stood up, they would probably be immediately dealt with by the crazy believers. After listening to Meng'er's method, Shao Yuanjie thought there was no better way, so he might as well give it a try.

He was a cultivator and knew some Taoist techniques such as talismans, divination, and fortune-telling, which could almost make him a charlatan. Seeing that Meng'er was just a young girl, he didn't quite believe her. Seeing that Meng'er had racked her brains but hadn't come up with any ideas, he became even more disdainful. Then Meng'er said that she had a headache and wanted to go back to sleep and think about it carefully. Shao Yuanjie couldn't help shaking his head, thinking that this Sixth Master Zheng was still too young to actually believe that such a little girl could have a way. He couldn't help but look down on them.

Two days later, Meng'er gave Zheng Liu a list and asked him to prepare some materials. Zheng Liu did as he was told without thinking, which surprised Shao Yuanjie. Zheng Liu actually listened to the instructions of this little girl. After the things were ready, Meng'er began to give the lecture in a serious manner. However, it was like talking to a deaf person after a long time. Meng'er had a hard time explaining, but Shao Yuanjie still didn't understand. He kept asking, "Can you fool people like this?"

Meng'er simply didn't bother talking anymore and asked someone to make props. Seeing is believing. The famous dismemberment performance was actually done with the help of props. Those boxes seemed to be independent, but in fact they were connected in the middle. As long as the assistant's body was flexible enough, the performance could be completed. Meng'er's mind was a little vague. She was thinking about the magic scenes in later generations while writing and drawing with a pen. Zheng Liu was beside her and thought of ways according to her ideas. Meng'er chose a thin boy as her assistant. After tossing around for a long time with several large boxes of props, it finally looked good. Xing Shuyu was left aside as an idle person, staring at Zheng Liu without blinking. Seeing When the magic trick was ready, she volunteered to replace the skinny boy. She finally got what she wanted and didn't even dare to cry out for being tired. She just actively practiced under the magician Zheng Liu. Magic looked simple, but it took ten years of hard work behind the scenes. Meng'er saw that they all understood the principles, so she didn't care about the rehearsal. Zheng Liu had a strong character and Xing Shuyu just wanted to be with Zheng Liu, so the two of them practiced from morning to night and actually persisted. On the second and the day after, they continued with the devilish training and got better and better. Meng'er also gave a brief description of the magic of sawing a person in half. Anyway, you can choose one, just practice it well and fool people.

At the first performance, Shao Yuanjie was the only audience member. Although he knew the trick, he was still stunned. Afterwards, he couldn't help but sigh, he was really good at fooling people. So Zheng Liu was replaced by Shao Yuanjie as the charlatan, and the three of them began to practice busily. Meng'er, the chief planner, was also busy. She kept searching her memory. Although her memory was limited, she managed to find some useful things by piecing them together. After a few more refinements, the charlatan Shao Yuanjie's level of deception immediately improved a lot.

Since Zheng Tianyi invited the first master six years ago, the three villages of Poyang seem to have become a favorite place of immortals. The magicians have worked hard to help the people in this area avoid disasters. Now everyone here believes that the White Lotus Patriarch is the reincarnation of the Buddha. It is said that the leader is more than 900 years old. If such a person is not a god, then what is a god? Who doesn't want to live forever and enter paradise? However, not everyone can join the Holy Religion. One must practice devoutly. Several wealthy families were able to join the religion not long ago. Of course, the amount of gold and silver they offered is countless.

Originally it was Shao Yuanjie's turn to perform, but Zheng Liu brought a piece of news that the great magician would perform a ritual in their village in a month, and it was said that he would be able to invite immortals to come. They had begun to build the platform for inviting immortals in the past two days, but the project was entirely done by their own people, so it was predictable that these people would do some tricks. They wondered what the White Lotus Sect was trying to do this time, and whether the old tricks were no longer fresh, and they wanted to continue to deceive people in a different way. So the original plan was put aside, and everyone paid close attention to the platform for inviting immortals that was being built.

In the Zheng family stronghold, the great magician personally supervised the construction. First, the area around the platform for inviting gods was tightly sealed, and the periphery was decorated with flags, auspicious clouds and the like. Naturally, outsiders were not allowed to get close to the place where the gods were going to descend. If the holy place was polluted, you would be responsible for not being able to invite the gods. Therefore, Boss Zheng listened to the great magician and strictly prohibited people in the village from getting close to the platform for inviting gods. The great magician's people solemnly surrounded the platform inside and out like an iron barrel. It was extremely difficult to break in. In order to show piety, Boss Zheng took the lead in fasting, and everyone followed suit. The village simply gave up meat for a month, and everyone prayed devoutly every day, hoping to catch a glimpse of the gods.
