From A Gong, Yan Shouyi learned about the grudges between him and Chu Liang.
Their master, named Bonan, is a legendary paper maker.
Bonan had accepted Chu Liang as his disciple more than twenty years ago. Chu Liang's talent was quite good, but his personality was extremely withdrawn. The reason why Bonan accepted Chu Liang was mainly because he was quiet and spoke little.
However, the two masters and apprentices have traveled around the world for many years, and Bo Nan has never taught Chu Liang his true skills.
At first, Chu Liang believed that Bonan did not teach him his true skills because he was worried that "teaching his disciples to starve the master to death", so Chu Liang was not angry. He just thought that when the master wanted to retire, he would naturally teach him his true skills.
You, you just need to quietly follow Master.
Later, Bonan picked up Agong when he was only four years old and adopted him.
Chu Liang also loved this junior brother so much that he would give all the delicious food and drinks to Agong. Sometimes he would even bend down and carry Agong on his back when walking far away.
Agong respected and loved Chu Liang very much, and he felt a sense of security that he had never felt before.
This was supposed to be a beautiful story of two brothers growing up together, but it didn't end like that.
Not long after he picked up Agong, Chu Liang suddenly discovered that the master was secretly trying to pass on the true skills of paper-making to Agong!
Only then did Chu Liang realize that the master was not worried that the disciples would starve to death, but simply felt that he was not qualified to learn how to make paper figures!
There is nothing more sad than heartbreak. When Chu Liang learned the truth, he was extremely desperate and was blinded by anger.
He called Agong to the kitchen. The naive Agong thought that his senior brother had something delicious to give him. Unexpectedly, his senior brother, who usually loved him very much, grabbed his hair roughly and pulled him away.
His head was pressed into the fire pit.
The hot charcoal left ugly scars on Agong's face, which almost killed Agong. Fortunately, Master Bonan arrived in time and stopped Chu Liang, allowing Agong to save his life.
Since then, Chu Liang left. There were only three masters and disciples left, and A Gong's heart was forever missing.
Many years later, A Gong became a real paper maker, but the scars on his face also grew up with him. After his master died, he put on a mask and vowed to find Chu Liang and avenge him.
Now, the opportunity has come.
…
The next night, a remote teahouse in Wuyi Mountain.
Yan Shouyi, Long Feicheng, Luo Ning, A Gong, Wang Jichang and Zhao Yiyao appeared downstairs in the teahouse.
The teahouse is located in the mountains, and its specifications and grades are very high. Although it is located in a remote place, there are still many wealthy people who are willing to make a special drive to come here.
A group of people walked into the teahouse and asked for a seat in the lobby on the first floor. They sat around and ordered two pots of tea.
The decoration of the teahouse is simple and elegant, and you can't even tell whether it is in ancient times or modern times when you are in it.
There were several beauties in ancient costumes on the stage, playing soothing folk music, which was quite emotional. Many customers in the teahouse probably came here for these beauties.
A waiter dressed as a waiter in an ancient shop enthusiastically served tea to everyone. Yan Shouyi casually gave him a tip of two hundred yuan, and the waiter immediately beamed.
"Let me ask you," Yan Shou said to the waiter, "Which seat in your teahouse has the customer reserved tonight?"
The waiter took the money, and of course it was easier to talk. He replied without hesitation: "Tables 3, 19, and 21 are all reserved by customers."
"I know, you can go and don't disturb us."
After sending away the waiter, Yan Shou explained to everyone:
"Since the magician and Chu Liang will definitely appear here tonight, both of them may reserve positions. We will focus on these three positions in a while."
"I have a question." Long Feicheng raised his hand.
"If you fart, hurry up."
"Brother Yan, why didn't you give me the two hundred yuan just now? I asked the waiter at the shop to go out and have a cigarette and he asked me all about it. There is no need to waste it!"
Yan Shouyi: "..."
Wang Ji went to smile and said: "Do you still want to be a middleman to earn the difference?"
Luo Ning said angrily: "Ever since Yan Shou 'married' into a wealthy family, he has been very generous."
Yan Shou has always ignored Luo Ning's weirdness. In fact, the Lin family is now rich and prosperous, thanks to his grandfather's help back then. Moreover, Yan Shouyi's "private goods" are all valuable, but there is no way to exchange them for money.
Just spend it.
Zhao Yiyao complained: "With the makeup on our faces, does the Chu Liang you are talking about really not recognize us?"
In order to prevent Chu Liang from recognizing Yan Shouyi and Wang Jiquang, they all dressed up in disguise, and Long Feicheng even put a big beard like Zhang Fei on his face.
Yan Shouyi smiled bitterly and said: "A battle is inevitable anyway. Just recognize him if you recognize him. As long as Chu Liang can show up."
"I still have questions." This time it was Agong who raised his hand and asked, "Doesn't anyone know what a magician looks like?"
Yan Shouyi shook his head and said: "This magician is the apprentice of the old magician. Even people from the Old Xuanshan Sect don't know what he looks like. We can only rely on ourselves to identify him."
Everyone was troubled for a while. In fact, the juggler was more elusive than them. Among the people present, no one really understood the juggler.
The only good thing is that there are not many customers in this teahouse. Counting them at this time, there are only four tables.
Everyone sat in the corner, drinking tea with their heads down, waiting silently.
Soon, the guests at table 21 appeared.
The guests at table 21 were a couple. They seemed to be regular customers of the teahouse, and the waiter was particularly enthusiastic towards them.
Yan Shouyi observed for a while and shook his head regretfully: "It shouldn't be them."
"Why?" Zhao Yiyao asked.
"The juggler knew that Chu Liang would show up tonight. Even if he had a wife or husband, he would not bring him here to test his own safety. Moreover, they are regular customers of the teahouse. The juggler fled here all the way, so he cannot be a regular customer.
"
Zhao Yiyao was secretly surprised. She thought she was already smart. The last time she fell into Yan Shouyi's hands, it was just because Yan Shouyi had Sanlong and Yu Litou behind him to help him.
But now it seems that Yan Shouyi is the same age as her, but his insight and analytical skills are much higher than hers.
This made Zhao Yiyao feel a little bit lucky while being frustrated. Fortunately, she had awakened at this time, otherwise she would have suffered even greater losses in the future.
Unconsciously, Zhao Yiyao's attitude towards Yan Shouyi became slightly better.
At this time, the guests at table 3 and the guests at table 19 walked into the teahouse one after another. The guests at these two tables were all alone. Among them, table 3 was a taciturn young man who stopped talking after asking for tea, while the guests at table 19
The guest is a middle-aged man. He is dressed in a classical style and looks a bit like a magician.
Long Feicheng put his head on the table and lowered his voice and said:
"Let's all take a bet. I'll be the banker and bet on who is the magician."
Yan Shou glared at Xiaolong: "What time is it? Don't mess around."
Unexpectedly, Wang Ji went to directly put down a hundred yuan and said, "I bet you are the guest at table 3."
Yan Shouyi: "..."
Someone took the lead, and others got interested and placed their bets one after another.
Yan Shouyi shook his head helplessly. In fact, in his heart, he felt that the guests at these two tables were not magicians.
The young man at table 3 lowered his head and played with his mobile phone. The hand holding the mobile phone was shaking slightly. He was obviously not a practicing practitioner.
A juggler's hands must be fast and steady, but with this young man's hands shaking like this, he must not be a juggler.
The middle-aged man at table 19 always stared at the classical beauty on the stage, but his eyes did not seem lustful, but doting. There was only one explanation for this. A certain beauty on the stage was this man's daughter.
.
Yan Shouyi speculated that the magician should not have a daughter. Even if he did, knowing that Chu Liang was chasing him, he would not bring trouble to his daughter.
Therefore, neither of these two people are magicians!
So, where is the magician?
At the end of the song, several classical beauties on the stage walked off the stage holding their instruments. The atmosphere in the teahouse suddenly changed. A face-changing master wearing a costume and carrying a theater flag walked out from the corner!
