Magic City.
A city with characteristics of both East and West.
Among them are black, white, and gray. Concessions from various countries, warlords, financial tycoons, gangster tycoons, foreign gangsters, patrol officers... a miscellaneous group of powerful people make up today's Magic City.
Along the way, Hong Kang relied on his extraordinary hearing and heard the sound of blades slashing from the dark alley more than once.
"Bang bang bang" a few times, accompanied by several screams.
Eliminate it again.
Then there was the sliding sound of the body being dragged.
There was also the voice of the leader: "Those who are dead should be given adequate housing allowance! Those who are not dead should be sent to the hospital."
The process seems very skillful! !
Listening to the sword fighting in the dark alley, and watching the comings and goings of various gentlemen, wives, lords, non-officials, and elites on the road, Hong Kang seemed to have a painting of separation in front of his eyes.
There were screams and shouts on one side, and laughter on the other.
Hong Kang sighed in his heart: "What a... wonderful place!!"
…
Hong Kang found out where Cha Xiaoyun was by asking someone casually.
It is true that his theater is so outstanding in the local area.
I heard someone say that it’s really not easy to watch Boss Cha’s show.
Tickets for Boss Cha's plays are always the fastest-selling. Theater fans often bribe the ticket sellers in the theater in order to catch a glimpse of Boss Cha's plays.
Hong Kang thought to himself: "The guys in this theater are living a good life thanks to their boss."
Arrived.
Hong Kang looked up: "Yichun Garden?!"
There were rickshaws and many cars parked at the door. It was obvious that the people who came to watch the show were all dignitaries.
That's right, if ordinary people are busy working for a living, it's too late! Do you still have time and spare money to watch movies? !
I bought the ticket from the clerk. The clerk introduced with a smile: "You are here by chance. Today is our class leader's specialty - "Ticket Picking"! Guest, you are in for a treat!!"
""Ticket Picking"??!"
Hong Kang knows this drama.
It is a traditional play in Peking Opera, long based on Wusheng opera, also known as "Niutou Mountain". The performance story is based on the 39th chapter of "The Complete Story of Yue Shuo".
Marshal Ha Tielong of the Jin Army blocked the attack with an iron pulley. Gao Chong was so brave that he overturned eleven pulleys in succession with his gun. Finally, due to the exhaustion of his horse, Gao Chong was crushed to death while trying to pick up the twelfth iron pulley.
"This scene...it depends on your skills!"
Entered the door.
There was a sea of people in front of me, probably hundreds of people, including men, women, old and young.
This theater is tall and divided into two floors, and the second floor is also full of people.
The sound of gongs and drums on the stage continued.
There was a martial artist performing.
Suddenly, Wu Sheng's body jumped, and he flew over the audience's heads at a very fast speed.
"Um?"
Hong Kang said, he can't even fly so far.
But when I took a closer look, it suddenly dawned on me.
"It turns out there is a thin rope hanging there! It's just that with the lighting, it won't be visible to anyone unless you have extraordinary eyesight."
Other viewers who saw it for the first time were stunned by Wu Sheng's wonderful performance.
After Wu Sheng leaned over and circled the auditorium, he stood up behind the crowd with the sound of a loud gong.
Put on a tough look.
"Huh~"
He threw the gun in his hand towards the stage, and the gun whirled out.
Wu Sheng stepped on his feet, and his body was pulled into the air by the string and chased after him.
Those who have seen it several times will naturally understand the trick and explain the string and so on to the people next to them.
But in Hong Kang's eyes, Wu Sheng's movement in the air was definitely not due to the pull of the string, but his own strength.
This man's light body skills are not inferior to his own! !
Hong Kang stared at his back.
"That thin rope is probably just to cover up his superb skills."
"With the "Ape Attack Technique" by my side, it's easy to do all kinds of difficult moves. No wonder it's so popular!!"
Because of these few efforts, Hong Kang knew that this Wu Sheng was the boss of Cha Xiaoyuncha whom he had found.
After Cha Xiaoyun came on the stage, the cooperators immediately threw up a square table.
Before the table even hit the ground, Cha Xiaoyun shot at the foot of the table.
With one force, the entire table flipped over on its tip like a windmill.
It caused a burst of applause from the people below!
Some older girls kept clapping and even stood up excitedly.
Although, Hong Kang didn't know what they were excited about? !
With a flick of the gun, the table landed firmly in the center of the stage.
Then, his assistant threw two more tables, both of which were caught by Zha Xiaoyun with the tip of his spear. Finally, the three tables were stacked on top of each other like an Arhat.
These three tables were compared to the battlefield pulleys in the story. Although there were not as many as eleven, the audience still applauded.
Cha Xiaoyun first jumped up and stood on the top table, as if he was playing the role of a military commander who successfully knocked down the battlefield pulley. Then, he twisted his waist, performed a backflip, and fell down from the top.
Accompanied by a burst of distinctive Peking Opera laughter, the "Pick the Pulley" finally came to an end.
The audience below applauded for a long time, and Hong Kang also applauded together. This martial arts performance by Cha Xiaoyun is indeed wonderful!
…
Cha Xiaoyun arrived backstage and was about to take off her makeup.
There was a "dong dong" knock on the door.
"Who?" Cha Xiaoyun asked.
"Master, someone is looking for you." The voice was an old one.
"It's Uncle Qi! Come in first!" Zha Xiaoyun asked while changing his headgear, "Who is looking for me outside?"
"He's a young man." Uncle Qi replied, "He said his name is Hong Kang, but he looks unfamiliar to me, so he shouldn't be a regular customer."
"Did he say anything to do with me?"
Cha Xiaoyun has almost cleaned the makeup on his face.
Not a regular visitor? !
Most of them are theater fans who want to get to know each other after watching their own plays.
Have you met very few theater fans like this in recent years? ! !
"No." Uncle Qi said, "But he asked me to pass a message to you, and he said you would see him after hearing it."
"Hey! Then I'd like to hear what he said."
Zhou Xiyu had already washed his face and was about to change out of his costume.
Uncle Qi said: "Never leave, never leave, never get angry or hate."
Whoosh!
Uncle Qi only felt a dark shadow flash, and Cha Xiaoyun's figure appeared in front of him.
"Are you sure that's what he said?"
Cha Xiaoyun's expression was a little excited, a little nervous, and a little nostalgic.
"Yes……"
Before he finished speaking, Cha Xiaoyun didn't even bother to change out of his costume and rushed out of the door.
But when he got outside, his joyful expression froze.
Because what he saw was not the person he expected to see, but a young man who looked to be in his mid-twenties at most.
He didn't know that this was due to Hong Kang's successful practice and his body's functions being greatly enhanced.
"Who are you……?"
"I'm Hong Kang."
"How do you know that??!"
"Zhou Xiyu is my senior brother."
"..."
