Chapter 20 fourth quarter

The table moved slowly, and Zhang Xian's body under the guillotine also moved. He raised his hands and feet, his wrists had already been detached from the rope, and he fumbled around the severed head, but he seemed unable to stand up for a while. The table on which Zhang Xian's head was placed gradually moved towards the guillotine, and stopped when it was in front of the body.The two hands of the body fumbled to reach the top of the table, hugged Zhang Xian's head, pulled up the black scarf, slowly covered the head, then took the head down with both hands, and adjusted the position. at the neck position.

With a bang, thick smoke rose from under the guillotine. Seeing the guillotine broken into several pieces, it fell down. In the smoke, Zhang Xian stood up and walked out with a black scarf on his head. Everyone in the audience did not speak this time, and there was no sound. Zhang Xian held the black scarf in his hand, and with a bang, he lifted it off!The audience exclaimed!I saw Zhang Xian standing upright, as if nothing had happened, with a smile on his face, bowed slightly to the crowd, and stretched out his hand to make a move. The masked man ran out from the side of the stage quickly, took off the hood, and was about to It's Li Yi.Zhang Xian and Li Yi once again clasped their fists and saluted everyone with smiles on their faces.

"Good! Good! Good! Good! Good!" This time, all the people in the audience finally understood that what they saw just now was just a thrilling magic trick.But the magic trick just now completely convinced everyone, and even those who were rogue and cynical were all filled with admiration from the bottom of their hearts. "Zhang Xian! Good! Zhang Xian! Good! Zhang Xian! Bull! Zhang Xian! Bull!" The applause was thunderous, and the shouts were endless. Everyone's face was full of admiration, and they shouted desperately, a little He didn't hide his admiration. Standing beside Li Fengren and Li Jiao, they also applauded loudly.Seeing this scene, Li Fengren couldn't help himself, his eyes turned red, and two lines of tears rolled down.Seeing this, Li Jiao hurriedly asked, "Daddy, what's wrong with you?"

Li Fengren wiped his tears and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm excited! I'm excited! Mr. Zhang is really amazing! Mr. Zhang's tricks, no, Mr. Zhang's magic can be so magical. I have never seen it with my own eyes in my life." Live in vain." Li Jiao's nose was sour, and she hugged Li Fengren, also weeping sadly. The father and daughter went from great sorrow a month ago to great joy; from smug to uneasy; Joy and all kinds of surprises are intertwined and mixed, and it is hard to tell what it feels like. The beheading magic performed by Zhang Xian is exactly the "seven holy methods" in ancient Chinese tricks. The essence of the seven holy methods is the resurrection of killing people. The most authentic seven holy methods are very bloody. terrible way.Zhang Xian made a change, and it became this form just now.In fact, the reason why Zhang Xian performed the Seven Sacred Techniques to these idlers was to shock them, because these people may not be able to appreciate the elegant and elegant magic tricks, but this kind of "beheading and resurrection" is good for them.

Zhang Xian's first performance ended like this.The people who came out of the Yueke Magic Hall were either in a daze, excited, or out of their minds, and some were still wandering around, and those who could not enter the Yueke Magic Hall saw this appearance, became curious, and pulled An acquaintance asked: "What's the matter, how is the trick inside? Why are you a little dazed?" The man made two oohs, and slapped his thigh violently: "Brother, it's a big loss for you not to go to see it! This Yueke Magic Hall is very popular, very popular!" "What's the matter? Can you still say good things out of your stinky mouth?"

"I'm telling you, I'm telling you..." This person uttered a dense chatter, which made the other party stunned, and only shouted: "True or false, please speak slowly." "Don't say good things twice, I said brother, if you have some money in your pocket, you must come and see, the entrance fee will be charged for the afternoon show, I'm not soliciting customers for them, the dollar you charge is worth it! It is said that the tricks in the afternoon are different from those in the morning, and they will not be the same every day!" "Don't rush away, let's talk again, and I'll treat you to tea."

"I'm going home to find my wife's private money! Can I do it in a hurry? My wife is back, where can I get the money? Come on, let's do this first, see you later." It's not like the two of them. Anyone who watched Zhang Xian's performance is like a nest of noisy sparrows, eager to talk to everyone. There is nothing wrong with Zhang Xian's arrangement.Don't look at the people who came in the opening scene with nothing to do. They usually gossip and gossip everywhere, but if you conquer them all, just wait for them to go crazy and gossip.Having these people say good things for you, embellishing it with embellishments, is more real than any advertisement.

In the old society, there was no TV, radio and Internet, and the few newspapers could not be read by illiterate people, and they were even less lazy to read them. Therefore, most of the things about the Tianqiao generation were passed on by word of mouth. , to ensure that all women and children know.In the old society, there was a criminal law called "hand punishment". In fact, it was slapped with big bamboo slaps, which could make the face swollen into a pig's head.This is enough to show that people's words are terrifying, and the power of public mouths can make money, and criminal laws must be specially established to punish them.

The big-mouthed idlers who came in the first performance, described in modern terms, are like hundreds of media hype, and it's strange if they don't make any noise. So when the Yueke Magic House opened again at noon, there were already a lot of people waiting outside the store door. As soon as they saw the store door open, they coaxed them to crowd inside.Li Fengren stopped him desperately with his buddies, shouting: "Don't come in, don't come in, you have to charge tickets, you have to charge tickets." Among the crowd were those with a few spare cash in their pockets, rushing to join in the fun and squeezing in. They were not rich kids, but these people had money in their pockets and their voices were loud.There are a lot of face-saving people in the capital, and they feel superior to others who can take out money to get tickets, so someone shouted triumphantly: "How much is it! I will give you a show!"

Li Fengren put forward the price tag that he had prepared long ago, and shouted: "The upper seats in the front row are 50 cents each, the other big seats are 30 cents, and the scattered seats are 10 cents! If there is a gentleman who wants to sit in the private room upstairs, it will cost 5 yuan per private room. Offer exquisite snacks and fruits." Someone pushed aside the crowd, handed over fifty cents, and said, "Come here! Three cents! Change money! Maybe you like it or not!" Some people couldn't afford the money, so they had no choice but to retreat in resentment. The rich squeezed their money and squeezed in angrily.Sometimes it's really strange that people in the capital like to join in the fun, and those who don't line up don't care if there are more people going.

In less than ten minutes, it was full!It's a pity that no one cares about the seven or eight private rooms upstairs. Li Fengren grinned, hung up a full-booking notice, stated the time for the next performance and ticket sales, closed the door, and that was it. Not surprisingly, after the show ended, many people who came out continued to spread wildly about how wonderful, eye-opening, and incredible the performance in the afternoon was, and they even said that there was something new tonight. queue!grab!The window where the tickets are sold is crowded with people. Some people have seen it in the morning, some in the afternoon, and some have heard people flickering over. They almost smashed the window eaves, and some were so angry that they almost put on a stance and fought. up.Ten cents, thirty cents, fifty cents, the men in the capital can afford it, and this is what they want! Li Fengren was so busy that his voice was almost hoarse, and his hand was about to soften when collecting money.He has been running a teahouse all his life, and he never thought that one day he would accept tickets. Except for the famous actors from Beijing and Tianjin, which restaurants in Tianqiao come to join in, there is no ticket collector on weekdays, and they all come in and out as they like.All of this was Zhang Xian's idea, and the effect was so good, which was beyond Li Fengren's expectation. Tickets for the evening show are sold out!There is still an hour before the opening, and all the tickets are sold out! On the first day of the Yueke Magic Hall’s opening, there are three shows a day. Except for the first show which is free, the tickets for the afternoon and evening shows are all sold out.Who believes it?No one would believe it. When Tianqiao established the rule of collecting tickets, they had never heard of a newly opened store. Not only were they all full on the first day, but they even grabbed tickets and got into fights. But Chen Guo of Wangfenglou believed it. After hearing what the Ermaozi who came back to report the situation said, he walked around the room with his brothers behind his back for half an hour, unable to utter a word in a daze. Chen Guo faintly felt that Zhang Xian should have this ability, Zhang Xian's every move seemed to be calculated, he suddenly disappeared, suddenly appeared, suddenly performed in the Yueke Teahouse, suddenly changed the Yueke Teahouse into a magic hall , but why did Zhang Xian do this?For whom?Chen Guo couldn't figure it out, the most urgent thing now was to go to the Yueke Magic Hall by himself and see Zhang Xian's tricks with his own eyes. Chen Guo is not afraid that the Yueke Magic Hall will become bigger. No matter how powerful Zhang Xian is, he will not be able to eat a flyover. His own business will not be affected too much. What Chen Guo is afraid of is that Zhang Xian will let Duan Shizhang know that Duan Shizhang has been looking for new tricks Once I know about Zhang Xian and take someone to see it, I am afraid that my big backer will be gone. Not only that, Duan Shizhang will even feel that Chen Guo is not doing his job well. It is obvious that Zhang Xian is there, but he didn't find it. move?If Duan Shizhang lost his temper one day and said something bad about Wangfenglou in the yamen, he would just pack up and leave. Chen Guo had a headache, what should he do?This question was entangled in Chen Guo's mind, and he didn't sleep well all night. Early the next morning, he asked Er Maozi to buy a ticket for himself.Chen Guo made up his mind, first put on a disguise and sneak in to have a look. The Yueke Magic Hall became an instant hit, and a big notice was posted that there were only three performances a day in the morning, afternoon, and evening, and it was guaranteed that within fifteen days, there would be forty-five finale magic performances, and there would be no repeats.Forty-five magic performances are divided into five major departments in the southeast, northwest and middle schools. Each department has nine magic tricks. There are three magic tricks on the first day. It is called La Liga's dazzling. There are also previews for the three magic games on the second day.
