Chapter 368 I have never been bitten by a snake in my life
Master Wang was completely in the state, with his eyes slightly closed. As he recited the words, a group of disciples gradually gathered around him, whispering in agreement with him.
Those are some short onomatopoeias.
"Bian!"
"tingua!"
The master's voice became louder and louder, and the words he recited were really incomprehensible. It was like a rare language created by himself, a special language used to communicate between heaven and earth, but his disciples actually understood it. They chanted the same convoluted syllables together.
Fang Yi didn't know much about Taoism. He guessed that it was a formula that he didn't know in some kind of classics, like the scriptures that monks often chanted. Many of them were transliterated from ancient India, so they were difficult to understand in the Chinese context, as if they were from heaven. .
But after listening carefully for a while, he gradually understood the words clearly and couldn't help laughing.
Ma Et didn't react at first, and was a little confused when he saw Fang Yi's expression. Then Master Wang stamped his feet and started to perform the exercises, and gave a powerful drink, which made Ma Et understand.
"Change!"
"obedient!"
This is the dialect of Master Wang’s hometown!
This master doesn't try to wrap up his tricks. He should at least learn Mandarin.
The spectators were completely attracted by Master Wang's strange movements. They were almost two meters away and could only stare at the big iron basin, thinking that it was the secret of the mechanism.
This led to Master Wang’s deception.
There was a magician Liu Xuan on the Spring Festival Gala stage. Before he became famous, he had done magic decryption in related programs in Tokyo and Baodao, and elaborated on the core points of magic:
Divert attention.
This technique is very similar to some scenes in suspense movies. First, there is a very superficial action that allows the audience to focus on it, such as Master Wang’s yelling; then there is the second level of action, the action of The key point is to deliberately leave an "obvious" loophole, so that smart people will quickly fall into the second layer after thinking they have seen through the first layer.
Here, the flaw is the opaque iron basin.
What if there is a third layer?
For example, if someone like Fang Yi suspects that there is something wrong with the table or the snake, the acrobats will block the road in advance so that the spectators cannot verify it.
While Master Wang was stamping his feet, Fang Yi took a few steps forward and touched the edge of the table: he found that it was a little colder than the current room temperature.
Master Wang's apprentice was very vigilant, half persuading and half pushing Fang Yi back: "Don't disturb the master's performance!"
Ma et waited for him to come back and asked him in a low voice, "Fang Yi, why are you touching the table?"
"Let's see if he is really capable or if he is just pretending."
"Then do you see anything?"
Fang Yi shook his head and said, "This master has been doing tricks for more than ten years. He can only turn into snakes, but cannot turn into foxes, squirrels, or rabbits... Why do you think it is, and what is the difference?"
Ma et thought about what he said about the table being a little colder than room temperature, and hesitated, "Because snakes are cold-blooded animals?"
"There are many cold-blooded animals, so why do you have to transform into a snake? Instead of a toad, a lizard or something like that."
Ma et stared at Master Wang and looked up and down, from the man's exposed elbows to his legs covered in trousers, and wondered, "I don't understand this, how do you explain it?"
Fang Yi: "Because snakes are elongated, they can stick to people's bodies."
"You mean, snakes are crawling on him?" Ma et said, probably thinking about that scene for a moment, "There are a lot of disciples around the master. Even if it is possible, most people can't get close to him.
There is no way to verify it.”
Fang Yi: "Although this juggling is low-level, all aspects have been considered. Master Wang's degree of completion is quite high - it is a mature trick that has been tested by the market."
While speaking, Fang Yi seemed to hear a small sound of mechanical rotation, but this sound was quickly hidden in Master Wang's yelling. After that, Master Wang completely entered the state, jumped up from the place, and surrounded the table.
Spin around and dance.
He tried to touch the iron basin again and again,
As if the back of the iron basin was hollowed out, the onlookers couldn't help but follow Master Wang's movements and circle around, repeatedly confirming that the basin was intact.
——This may be the third deceitful trick: deliberately using flaws to lure people into being deceived and attract people's attention to the real place. The magic trick is 70% true and 23% false. The more fake it looks, the less likely it is.
Maybe fake.
This strange chanting and dancing continued for a while, and Master Wang was covered in sweat. At a certain moment, he suddenly stopped and violently lifted the iron basin, which made a loud clang when it fell to the ground.
Everyone, including Fang Yi, was attracted by the basin, and then looked back at the table like lightning - and sure enough, the snake was gone.
Ma et said excitedly, "Did the contract change be made at the last moment? We didn't even see what happened in those few tenths of a second?"
Fang Yi thought it was unlikely.
Sure enough, Master Wang's apprentice brought the footage captured by a high-speed camera, which showed that within a few tenths of a second that was not noticed, the master's snake had already disappeared.
Ma et asked, "Can you send me this video, uukanshu.com www.uukanshu.com. I want to start watching it when the master is reciting sutras."
The apprentice objected, "It can only be placed here."
This is a rare opportunity. Ma et al asked Fang Yi to come over and take a look and analyze whether there are any spliced parts in this video.
Fang Yize touched the table again and found that it was even colder than before. He also wanted to knock on the piece of tabletop that had turned into a snake to see if it was hollow - but Master Wang's apprentice did not allow him to try this.
Went down.
Isn't that a waste of time?
The apprentice said: "Just turning the snake away is not a skill. The real skill is to turn the snake back..."
Master Wang stood under the table for a while, then climbed up on the table with difficulty, crawling in a posture similar to Liang Xiaolong's Toad Kung Fu in Kung Fu, and facing Fang Yi and Ma et al.
The low iron basin blocked part of the line of sight, so that Fang Yi could not see what was happening behind him. The disciples shouted:
come out!
come out!
Master Wang's veins were stretched out and his face was red. Rather than using his internal strength, it seemed more like he was suffering from constipation.
As soon as Fang Yi thought about the fact that his vision was blocked, a snake quickly emerged from the basin. Master Wang caught the snake and cheered for himself with a short native dialect. His short and fat body fell off the table and jumped.
Great God.
The movements were funny and rhythmic. The snake raised its head in cooperation with him and tried to attack Master Wang several times. However, it was squeezed tightly by Master Wang and could not reach Master Wang's flesh.
He said proudly: "I have never been bitten by a snake in my life!"
Someone asked: "Why?"
"How could a person from the Immortal Family be bitten by an animal crawling on the ground?"
After this juggling, everyone felt that it was very enjoyable and much more interesting than Dian Niang's little white essay, and they applauded one after another.
