Chapter 235

In the tent, the female illusionist Lin Xueer was performing the last show "Paper Hanging a Thousand Categories".

There was a large wine jar weighing about thirty kilograms on the stage. The mouth of the jar was only the size of a fist. She first kneaded a piece of cardboard into a long and slender paper roll only as thick as chopsticks, and then bent the front end of the paper roll.

, forming the shape of a hook, and finally slowly pushed the paper roll into the mouth of the altar.

"Masters! If the thin paper pole can lift the wine jar, please don't begrudge your applause. It will also be the finale of today's illusion show!"

After saying that, she carefully lifted up the thin paper stick.

Everyone's eyes are widened!

The large wine jar, which weighed about thirty kilograms, was completely lifted up, about one meter above the floor!

"good!"

"Wow..."

There was thunderous applause in the tent.

At this time, Wan Zheng and his two bodyguards entered the tent. The old man looked sideways at Lin Xueer on the stage, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and sneered disdainfully. However, the leader of the group, Deng Hong, who had received the news, hurriedly took him backstage.

When Lin Xueer saw Wan Zheng, she first had a look of astonishment on her face, then her expression changed several times, and her expression was very complicated. This made Guo Xuanwu, who was standing aside observing his expression, confused as to what was going on.

Backstage, Wan Zheng sat lazily on the floor, with two bodyguards sitting behind him holding swords. The leader of the group, Deng Hong, respectfully served tea, and Wan Zheng raised his glass and took a sip.

"spit!"

Wan Zheng spit the tea on the ground with a look of displeasure on his face.

"Say! Is there no wine? You should be smarter. Is this the way to treat guests?"

Deng Hong really didn't dare to offend him, so he quickly ordered someone to bring a jar of wine, held the plate with both hands, and presented a package of silver coins.

Wan Zheng winked, and a bodyguard behind him stood up and took the bag of silver, weighed it in his hand, then his face changed, and he shouted loudly: "Do you think we are beggars! You have performed here for ten years.

Oh my god, I made five hundred taels without saying a word! We only want half of it, we can take the money and leave immediately!"

After speaking, he threw the cloth bag in his hand on the ground. With a crash, the cloth bag fell apart, revealing four five-tael silver ingots.

Another bodyguard laughed sinisterly and said: "Hey! If Mr. Wan exposes your illusion in public, you will not be able to survive! Leader Deng, you should think carefully about it!"

Deng Hong looked panicked and kept raising his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead. These three people were simply vampires. They were more ruthless than robbing money. If they kept blackmailing them for a long time, all the illusion troupes in the world would drink the northwest wind.

.

At this time, Lin Xueer, who had finished her performance at the front desk, opened the curtain and walked in. Her face was as cold as frost, and she said coldly: "Leader, we don't give you this kind of money!"

"What..." Deng Hong's face was full of astonishment.

Wan Zheng and the two bodyguards turned around with angry looks in their eyes, as if they wanted to eat her alive.

One of the bodyguards yelled fiercely: "What the fuck! Have you never heard of the famous illusionist 'Die Po Zheng'? How dare you refuse in person? It's in vain that you are still the world's number one illusionist Wan Zheng."

Disciple!"

Deng Hong looked panicked and said: "Xiaoxue... don't be too pushy..."

"Leader! Leave it to me!"

Lin Xueer looked determined, and Deng Hong lowered his head, not daring to speak any more.

Lin Xueer silently sat down cross-legged in front of Wan Zheng, staring deeply at his withered old face with an extremely complicated expression.

Wan Zheng's hand holding the wine glass began to tremble constantly, as if he had a cerebral thrombosis.

Lin Xueer said slowly: "All the illusionists in the world know the bad reputation of 'drinking and breaking the government'! Everyone regards you as a poisonous snake and beast, and they can't wait to tear you into pieces! It's just because the senior has done something to his mentor Wan Zheng.

It was my uncle who taught me the art, so I ordered my disciples to be tolerant to you again and again. This is why you, senior, are so unscrupulous today and make a living by extorting money!"

Wan Zheng lowered his head unconsciously and said nothing.

Lin Xueer continued: "The illusion techniques created by the resourceful senior Wan Zheng, who was once known as an illusion genius in the imperial capital of Leiyue City, are still the skills that illusionists rely on for a living, even me!

"

After hearing these words, Wan Zheng raised his neck suddenly and drank the wine in the glass. His lifeless eyes began to shine and became deeper, and he fell into the memories of the glorious era before, and then lightly

He sighed and lowered his head in shame, his skinny body looking even more rickety.

"I can't believe it! You, a master-level figure in the past, have now fallen into the company of drinking and gambling. You also specialize in exposing the tricks you created, and wander around to extort money to make a living!"

Wan Zheng gradually became excited and couldn't help shouting: "Shut up! What do you know at such a young age... Since you were in Banner State eight years ago... Forget it, everything... doesn't matter... Really, what?

It’s all meaningless…”

One of the bodyguards said impatiently: "Father! What do you have to say to this girl? Since they won't pay, we will expose their tactics in the next performance and make it impossible for them to survive!"

Lin Xueer pursed her lips and said angrily: "I am just an unknown little illusionist! But I have also figured out a few tricks. If seniors can see through the tricks I created, I will sacrifice my life with both hands! If so,

If senior can't see through it, then he will lose five hundred taels of silver to me!"

Everyone trembled, this was clearly a life and death bet!

Who is Wan Zheng? A master-level figure among illusionists, what other tricks can he not see through? Isn’t this little girl obviously looking for death?

Having said that, Wan Zheng hesitated, secretly wondering how much truth and lies there were in Lin Xueer's words?

"Wan Zheng is her master. The title of the best illusionist in the world is not given for nothing. The illusions he creates are absolutely profound. Even Wan Zheng is not sure that he can see through them all. If this Lin Xueer gets Wan Zheng,

Zheng’s true biography claims that the most mysterious secret skill is his own creation. If you can’t figure it out, wouldn’t you have fallen into her trap?”

Lin Xueer seemed to see through Wan Zheng's thoughts at a glance, and vowed: "I definitely designed this illusion trick myself! I promise not to deceive you with the tricks taught by my teacher. If I do this, wouldn't I destroy my teacher?

Is your name despised by your peers in the world?"

After hearing what she said, Wan Zheng accepted it!

"Little girl! I really don't know how high the sky is! I want to raise my bet! Not only are you at my disposal, but all your income in the past ten days will be mine! Do you have any objection?"

With a frosty look on her face, Lin Xueer replied coldly: "Wan Zheng! I also want to increase my bet! If you don't see through my method, not only will I give you five hundred taels of silver, but I will also blind your eyes to avoid

You go blackmail your colleagues again!"

"Quack, quack, quack! Very good! What you say is unfounded, but what you say is proof, so you won't default on your account!"

"I think so too!"

Both parties made a life-and-death declaration on the spot and signed and pledged their signatures.

A female apprentice walked onto the stage and said loudly: "Masters, please stay! Today we have a special show. Please wait a moment. After the stage is set up, the performance will begin immediately!"

The audience who were about to leave immediately cheered, and they all sat back in high spirits.

The stage was covered by a circle of curtains. Guo Xuanwu was still sitting in the front row, while Wan Zheng and his two names stood at the back of the crowd.
Chapter completed!
