The stall owner saw that she was dressed luxuriously and didn't seem like someone who was secretly learning from others. He also saw the small ingot of gold in her palm and immediately smiled, "Actually, this magic trick is also difficult. It requires a long time of practice and refinement before it can become vivid and not be seen through. It's not difficult, but it's not difficult either. It's just a trick and a clever idea. Let's take the Empty Cage as an example. Actually, this cage was specially made. There was another layer below, and in the middle, there was a small mechanism. When I covered the cage with the black cloth, my hand took the opportunity to press the mechanism, and the few birds that were hiding in the lower layer came up. When I removed the black cloth, wouldn't the trick be completed? My mechanism is very secretive and the audience won't come close to look. Naturally, they won't find anything. "
"So that's how it is. What a clever idea! So the so-called magic tricks and illusions are nothing more than this. It's a success if you deceive people's eyes, right? "Ning Shu clapped her hands and praised.
"Haha, yes, yes, yes. Miss is really smart!"
Ning Shu smiled sweetly and said, "Stall owner, my grandmother is celebrating her birthday next month. She also likes magic tricks very much. Can you teach me a few more tricks so that I can make her happy during the birthday banquet?"
After receiving the ingot of gold, the stall owner was very enthusiastic, "Tell me what kind of magic trick you want to learn. Can you make flowers out of paper or flying peaches? I can also teach you the Spirit Monkey Birthday Banquet. "
Ning Shu said crisply, "She is a follower of Guanyin Goddess. I want to make a Guanyin Goddess's image in the air. Do you have any good ideas?"
"In the air?"
"Yes."
The stall owner showed a bitter smile, "If I know what you want, I don't need to set up a stall here. I can just go to a Buddhist temple and become a senior monk. You are making it too difficult for me. Even my ancestor didn't have this ability. "
Ning Shu didn't have much hope. She thanked the stall owner and turned to get into the carriage. She shook her head at Xiahou Qing and said, "I didn't get anything out of him."
She picked up a cup of tea and moistened her throat. Her smile was slightly bitter. "From last night until this morning, three thousand Yongchengwei have searched the entire Phoenix Terrace, but they couldn't find the mystery behind the appearance of the ghost shadow. Even if it was really a magic trick, it was too seamless and difficult to understand. Based on the current situation, Empress Zhou's ghost is probably the most plausible explanation. "
In front of her, Xiahou Qing slowly ground the bones in his palm and leisurely said, "When I was ten years old, my first plum blossom petal grew on the side of my neck. Father was furious and personally investigated the entire Prince's Mansion three times. He didn't find any problems. In the end, he beat my eight closest bodyguards to death one by one. The remaining eighty-six people in my courtyard were all replaced, but he still couldn't prevent the second plum blossom petal from growing on the side of my neck when I was seventeen years old. So far, I don't know how many batches of bodyguards have been replaced, but they still couldn't find the person who poisoned me. Even my father, after being mentally and physically exhausted, muttered to himself: Is there really a ghost in this world that can come and go without a trace? That's why this matter can be done so flawlessly. "
He sneered and asked, "Do you think I believe it?"
Ning Shu slowly shook her head and answered, "No."
If he believed it, he wouldn't drag his sick body to the capital and wouldn't be standing in front of her at this moment. He also wouldn't spend so much effort to train Hui Mo, She Yan, and the others to be his eyes, mouth, hands, and brain, his left and right arms. He also wouldn't pin his hopes on a complete stranger like her and waste time with her.
Xiahou Qing's knuckles knocked on the small table. "Last night, someone wanted to kill you. I think this is good news."
"Yes." Ning Shu also agreed.
