Chapter 107

Chapter 107

This cave is like a dungeon. Once the lid is closed, the light below instantly dims.

I had a strong feeling just now that as long as I dared to move even a little bit, the white owl would peck my eyes out immediately.

After Xiao Tuantou and his group left, only Sister Hong and I were left here, and we were locked up here.

It took more than two hours for Sister Hong to regain her normal consciousness. Sister Hong told me that she still had memories of what happened before, and she also thought about resisting, but her body refused to obey her orders.

Sister Hong and I sat on the ground, back to back, and she told me something about the owl woman.

She said that she was forced to swallow a small package of something before, and that package was the so-called Zinger Gold.

My arms ached, I was cold and hungry, so I forced myself to ask: "That owl is white, and what is it wrapped in gold? How can it control a person so well? Is it better than that old sea dog's fascination?"

Is the soul fragrance still powerful?"

In the darkness, Sister Hong said weakly: "Yunfeng, have you ever heard of a man named Partridge Whistle?"

"Partridge Whistle? Is that the tomb robber who can learn the calls of all the birds in the world?"

"Yes, that's the person."

"This kind of profession is a kind of skin trade in the past. Their identities are not just tomb robbers. The men are called partridge whistles and the women are called partridge women. There are only a few people in this industry, and there are even fewer female partridge women.

There are only a handful of people. The person we met just now in Yunfeng is the real Partridge Woman. I never thought that there would be such a young Partridge Woman now."

Pi Xing refers to those who used to do magic tricks. According to Sister Hong, there were many people in Pi Xing who had real skills in the past.

The more familiar skin tricks that people are exposed to nowadays include three immortals returning to the cave, swallowing a sword, swallowing an iron ball, and holding the point of a spear in the throat. These methods could only be considered inferior in the previous skin tricks.

The Partridge Whistle and the Partridge Woman can both learn to imitate birds and the other can drive them away. There are many undisclosed secrets in this that ordinary people cannot understand at all.

In the old society of the last century, the circus industry fell apart. Some people chose to continue living on the streets as performers, while others were influenced by foreign art troupes and eventually chose to join the circus and perform abroad. The most famous among them were a man and a woman named Red Lady and Zhu Liankui.

Zhu Liankui once performed in the palace for the Empress Dowager Cixi when he was traveling. Cixi was very happy after seeing it and specially ordered Sun Dianying to reward Sun Liankui with a small yellow croaker.

Sun Liankui had a total of four unique skills, namely spitting hundreds of feet, fishing with an empty pole, restoration of shredded paper, and flying water from a large bowl. This last skill, flying water from a large bowl, was Zhu Liankui's special skill. At that time, there was no one else in the leather industry.

A big bowl of water will fly.

In 1898, Zhu Liankui performed on stage for the first time in the United States with the circus. The Oriental magic of the big bowl of flying water shocked the entire foreign magic world. Since then, all Zhu Liankui's performances are always full, and all foreigners can watch it.

They were all intoxicated.

At that time, several major foreign theaters were fighting for Zhu Liankui. Each major theater wanted to have this mysterious magician from the East.

Major theaters offered Zhu Liankui a sky-high weekly salary, and finally he chose the Boston Opera House. The Boston Theater offered Zhu Liankui a weekly salary of US$1,013. You know, this was the weekly salary 130 years ago.

...With the price of goods at that time, you could have a concubine for five yuan!

In the circus at the same time, there was another master of jugglery named Cheng Liansu. This person claimed to have completely cracked the secret of the big bowl of flying water, and he even issued a challenge to Zhu Liankui.

In the winter of that year, this shocking magic showdown from the mysterious East made headlines in foreign tabloids.

It snowed that same year, and the theater was packed with foreigners who came to watch the showdown.

The time came as promised. After meeting, Zhu Liankui and Cheng Liansu bowed to each other, clasped their fists and said "Brother Zhu and Brother Cheng".

At the beginning of the duel, in order to ignite the atmosphere, both sides showed off their unique skills first, which is called debut.

Cheng Liansu's unique skill was "shooting people alive". What everyone didn't expect was that an accident happened not long after the praise began.

It is said that a black bird flew in from nowhere in the venue at that time. Some witnesses said it was a crow, while others said it was another bird. At first, everyone did not pay attention to this bird. Who would have thought that this bird

Suddenly he flew onto the barrel of the gun used by Cheng Liansu for his performance, and pulled the trigger with his bird's talon!

A gunshot!

Cheng Liansu fell to the ground and died!
