"Then can we cooperate?" Song Siyuan had already sensed the meaning of Gu Baiyue's words.
"If you are willing, of course we can't ask for it. It seems that your understanding of King Shanshan City is deeper than ours. I wonder if you have any clues? If so, we can indeed cooperate and we can be your guide. , look for the Sand Sea King City with you."
Song Siyuan nodded to him and took out a photo from her backpack. The photo showed the murals in the underground palace of Secret Orchid City, which could clearly show the regional style and city map of Shahai King City. Gu Hengxi took the photo and observed it carefully, with excitement in his eyes. mean.
It is estimated that they have been searching for the Sand Sea King City for a long time, and this clue is very precious to them.
"Can I ask you why you are obsessed with restoring the magic tricks of the Sand Sea King City?" Song Siyuan asked casually while Gu Hengxi was checking the photos for clues.
Gu Hengxi looked through the photos and explained casually: "There are many city-states or small countries around the desert, and there are countless lost countries. The Sand Sea King City is no different from those lost city-states, except for one thing that is very special—— That is, they are a small oasis country built in the desert, living completely in the heart of the devil's desert. This alone has distinguished them from other desert countries and has become a legend among desert city-states."
She was very curious about this and was willing to talk more, and continued: "Especially Queen Shanshan of the ancient Shanshan Dynasty and her jade pendant have become legends in the desert. Such stories were once heard in southern Xinjiang It became popular in towns and cities in northern Xinjiang and was adapted into musicals, dance dramas and operas."
"Of course we also want to adapt the story of Queen Shanshan into a magic trick. This will not only be good for our own reputation, but also let more people in the Western Regions know how the most glorious ancient Shanshan Kingdom in the desert perished! "
"Can I see your adaptation of the illusion trick?"
Since it was related to Shahai King City, they had to treat it carefully.
"sure."
Gu Hengxi glanced at Gu Baiyue. The man took out the pocket on his waist, took out a candle and a transparent glass ball, and then took out a bronze lamp stand from the backpack at the back. Clear beads can be placed on the lamp stand.
Then, he lit the candle with firewood. As the candle body gradually melted, the light of the candle also changed from red to yellow and became more brilliant, as if there were five colors of light. Mi Bao's story was recorded in "Youyang Zazu" As for illusion, he can make candles burn out with seven colors of light. If they guessed correctly, this is probably the neon candle illusion that turned into colorful candles in the Tang Dynasty.
This means that the skills of these brothers and sisters have reached the point of perfection. Otherwise, how would it be possible to restore the illusion skills of the Tang Dynasty!
Realizing this, everyone began to hold their breath and concentrate, not even wanting to breathe out any extra breath for fear of disturbing them.
For a moment, the flames danced and burned in the bronze fire cup. As the temperature got higher and higher, the transparent beads in a static state began to float continuously in the thermal shock, as if forming a group of light floating in the air, silhouetted against the candlelight. A bright light bloomed from below, and they saw that this transparent bead seemed to contain all things in the universe, just like what was said in the Buddhist scriptures, there are thousands of worlds in the hands, and the stars of the universe could be seen flashing through the beads in an instant.
Gu Baiyue then took out a pair of gloves from his pocket. These gloves were obviously specially made magic tools. The entire gloves were finely woven to fit the curves of the hands. They were made of the purest white and softest silk. They hung at the fingertips. Looking at the eyeball-sized mirror, it was as if there were ten small lenses attached to his hand. He began to swing various gestures around the lamp. The ten mirrors on his fingertips also began to wander up and down, with the crystal ball as the center. Rotate.
During this process, some pictures began to appear above the crystal ball!
Some phoenixes covered with colorful feathers began to gradually appear in the flowing light, dragging their gorgeous tails up and down, and swam around the room. As they continued to swim, various strange and gorgeous birds appeared immediately, like hundreds of phoenixes. Bird Chaohuang followed closely. Amidst the joy of countless birds, thick clouds and mist began to appear in front of their eyes.
When the misty clouds and mist dissipated, only a golden light pierced through the thick clouds. After the golden light was completely dispersed, it could be seen that the clouds held up the fairyland of Yaochi, the Golden Palace and the Jade Palace, and the gorgeous pavilions of the thirty-third heaven appeared in the clouds one after another. In the middle, above these gorgeous towers, there are all bejeweled and compassionate gods floating on their faces, just like the murals in the sutra caves in Dunhuang, which are vivid and lifelike.
After the clouds cleared, the Heavenly Palace gradually disappeared, and the scene turned from the sky to the desert. It can be seen that in the position of the Red and White Mountains, a large prosperous oasis has appeared.
Above the oasis, a city bustling with pedestrians began to appear, and then there was no movement at all, just like a video tape that stopped abruptly, with no next step at all.
When Gu Baiyue reached this point, he let go of his hand and said with a slight regret on his face: "The magic trick is just a picture, that is, a magnificent fantasy scene. No matter how we imagine it when we do the magic trick, we can't imagine the King of Sand Sea." How glorious is the city?"
"If an ordinary palace is used as the scene, it will fall into the cliché. There will be no special feature at all, and it will not be able to show the shock of the Sand Sea King City. It will be deadlocked here and unable to proceed to the next step."
Song Siyuan and the others observed the illusion at close range and found no flaws. This showed that their illusion had reached a certain level. She asked curiously: "Why can just a bead and these lenses create an image that is fake and real? What is it?" How did you do it?"
"This is the secret of the illusionist. You cannot tell outsiders easily. However, since you are curious, I can also tell you the secret. It is that this bead also has a mirror."
Gu Hengxi continued to decipher them: "The patterns in the transparent beads may seem complicated, but in fact they are all regular. At different angles and different heights, different images will appear under the influence of light, which can be directly illuminated. The mirror, the lens in his hand, also has many tiny holes. These holes make up various fantastic images. As long as you shine light through the holes, you can use the holes to magnify the image in the beads ten or even hundreds of times. , thereby forming various complex visual illusions."
When she mentioned this, her face became serious: "The hallucinations seen by the human eye may not always be real, but there is a saying that everything is the same, and the tools that create the hallucinations must be real, unless they are used. Drugs are hallucinogenic, otherwise, you can always find certain rules."
"It's just that a mature illusionist will take this kind of discipline very seriously and won't let people know it easily. Even if it is from his own apprentice, he must hide three-quarters of it, so as not to starve the master to death."
After talking to this point, Gu Hengxi would not reveal the secret any more. They just stopped there. They wanted to see the illusion of Shahai King City to see if they were really interested in Shahai King City. interested.
"What do you think?" Gu Hengxi asked.
