From A Gong, Yan Shouyi learned about the grudge between him and Chu Liang.
Their master, named Bonan, is a legendary paper maker.
Bonan accepted Chu Liang as his disciple more than 20 years ago. Chu Liang’s talent was quite good, but his personality was extremely withdrawn. The main reason why Bonan accepted Chu Liang was because He is quiet and talks little.
However, the master and apprentice have traveled around the world for many years, and Bo Nan has never taught Chu Liang his true skills.
At first, Chu Liang believed that Bo Nan did not pass on his true skills to him because he was worried that "the disciples would starve to death of the master." Therefore, Chu Liang was not angry, but thought that he would wait until the master wanted to retire. , he will naturally teach himself the true skills, and he only needs to quietly follow his master.
Later, Bonan picked up Agong, who was only four years old, and adopted him.
Chu Liang also loved this junior brother so much that he would give up all the delicious food and drinks to Agong. Sometimes he would even bend down and carry Agong on his back when walking far away.
A Gong admired Chu Liang very much, and he felt a sense of security that he had never felt before.
This should have been a beautiful story of two brothers growing up together, but it didn’t end like that.
Not long after picking up Agong, Chu Liang suddenly discovered that the master was secretly trying to pass on the true skills of paper-making to Agong!
It was then that Chu Liang realized that the master was not worried that the disciples would starve to death, but simply felt that he was not qualified to learn the skill of making paper figures!
There is nothing greater than grief. When Chu Liang learned the truth, he was extremely desperate and was blinded by anger.
He called Agong to the kitchen. The naive Agong thought that his senior brother had something delicious to give him. Unexpectedly, his senior brother, who usually loved him very much, unexpectedly grabbed him rudely. His hair pushed his head into the fire pit.
The hot charcoal left ugly scars on Agong’s face, which almost killed Agong. Fortunately, Master Bonan arrived in time and stopped Chu Liang, and he was saved. A Gong saved his life.
Since then, Chu Liang left. There were only three masters and disciples left, and A Gong's heart was forever missing.
Years later, A Gong became a real paper maker, but the scars on his face also grew up with him. After his master died, he put on a mask and vowed to find Chu Liang and take revenge. The hatred of the past.
Now, the opportunity has come.
…
The next night, a remote teahouse in Wuyi Mountain.
Six people, Yan Shouyi, Long Feicheng, Luo Ning, A Gong, Wang Jichang and Zhao Yiyao, appeared in the teahousedownstairs.
The teahouse is located in the mountains, and its specifications and grades are very high. Although it is located in a remote place, there are still many wealthy people who are willing to drive there.
A group of people walked into the teahouse and asked for a seat in the lobby on the first floor. They sat around and ordered two pots of tea.
The decoration of the teahouse is simple and elegant. When you are in it, you don’t even know whether it is in ancient times or modern times.
There were several beauties in ancient costumes on the stage, playing soothing folk music, which was quite emotional. Many guests in the teahouse probably came here for these beauties.
A waiter dressed as a waiter in an ancient shop enthusiastically served tea to everyone. Yan Shouyi casually gave him a tip of two hundred yuan, and the waiter immediately beamed.
"Let me ask you," Yan Shou said to the waiter, "Which seat in your teahouse has been reserved by guests tonight?"
The waiter took the money, of course. It was easy to talk, and he replied without hesitation: "Tables 3, 19, and 21 are all reserved by guests." ."
After sending away the waiter, Yan Shou explained to everyone:
"Since the magician and Chu Liang will definitely appear here tonight, then both of them are possible Book a location. We will focus on these three locations in a moment."
"I have a question." Long Feicheng raised his hand.
"If you fart, hurry up."
"Brother Yan, why didn't you give me the two hundred yuan just now? I asked the waiter in the shop to go out for a cigarette and asked everyone. There is no need to waste it!"
Yan Shouyi: "..."
Wang Ji went to smile and said: "You still want to be a middleman to make the difference? ?”
Luo Ning said in a weird voice: “Ever since Yan Shou married into a wealthy family, he has been generous.”
Yan Shou simply ignored Luo Ning’s words. It's weird, but in fact, the Lin family is now rich and prosperous, thanks to his grandfather's help back then, and Yan Shouyi's "private goods" are all valuable, but they can't be exchanged for money and spent.
Zhao Yiyao complained: "With the makeup on our faces, does the Chu Liang you are talking about really not recognize us?"
In order to prevent Chu Liang from recognizing Yan Shouyi When going with Wang Ji, everyone dressed up in disguise, and Long Feicheng even put a big beard like Zhang Fei on his face.
Yan Shouyi smiled bitterly and said: "A battle is inevitable anyway. Just recognize him if you recognize him. As long as Chu Liang can show up."
"I still have questions." This time it was Agong who raised his hand and asked, "Doesn't anyone know what a magician looks like?"
Yan Shouyi shook his head and said, "This The famous magician is the apprentice of the old magician. Even people from the old Xuanshan sect don’t know what he looks like, so we have to rely on ourselves to identify him.”
Everyone was distressed, but in fact the opera master The mage was even more elusive than them. Among the people present, no one really understood the magician.
The only good thing is that there are not many customers in this teahouse. Counting them at this time, there are only four tables.
Everyone sat in the corner, drinking tea with their heads down, waiting silently.
Soon, guests at table 21 appeared.
The guests at table 21 were a couple. They seemed to be regular customers of the teahouse, and the waiter was particularly enthusiastic about them.
Yan Shouyi observed for a while and shook his head regretfully: "It shouldn't be them."
"Why?" Zhao Yiyao asked.
"The juggler knew that Chu Liang would show up tonight. Even if he had a wife or husband, he would not bring her here to test the danger. Moreover, they are old customers of the teahouse. The juggler fled all the way here. He can't be an old customer."
Zhao Yiyao was secretly surprised. She thought she was already smart. She fell into the hands of Yan Shouyi last time, but it was because Yan Shouyi had Sanlong and Tu Li Tou helps.
But now it seems that Yan Shouyi is the same age as her, but his insight and analytical skills are much higher than hers.
This made Zhao Yiyao feel a little bit lucky while being frustrated. Fortunately, she had awakened at this time, otherwise she would only suffer greater losses in the future.
Unknowingly, Zhao Yiyao's attitude towards Yan Shouyi became slightly better.
At this time, guests from tables 3 and 19 walked into the teahouse one after another. The guests at these two tables were all alone. Among them, table 3 was a taciturn young man. After asking for tea, he He remained silent, but the guest at table 19 was a middle-aged man. Judging from the classical style of his dress, he looked a bit like a magician.
Long Feicheng put his head on the table and lowered his voice and said:
"Let's take a bet. I will be the banker and bet on who is the magician. ."
Yan Shou glared at Xiaolong: "What time is it? Don't mess around."
Unexpectedly, Wang Ji directly pressed down a hundred yuan and said: "I bet you are the guest at table 3."
Yan Shouyi: "..."
Someone took the lead, and others also got interested and placed bets one after another.
Yan Shouyi shook his head helplessly. In fact, in his heart, he felt that the guests at these two tables were not magicians.
The young man at table 3 lowered his head and played with his mobile phone. The hand holding the mobile phone was trembling slightly. He was obviously not a professional.
A juggler’s hands must be fast and steady, but with this young man’s hands shaking like this, he must not be a juggler.
The middle-aged man at table 19 always stared at the classical beauty on the stage, but his eyes did not seem lustful, but doting. There is only one explanation for this. A certain person on the stage The beauty is this man's daughter.
Yan Shouyi speculated that the magician should not have a daughter. Even if he did, knowing that Chu Liang was chasing him, he would not bring trouble to his daughter.
So, these two people are not magicians!
So, where is the magician?
At the end of the song, several classical beauties on the stage walked off the stage holding musical instruments. The atmosphere in the teahouse suddenly changed. A woman in costume and carrying a opera flag walked out from the corner. The face-changing master!
Yan Shouyi’s eyes locked on him instantly.
