Touch my tail

A magician is a profession that surprises people, makes people happy, and brings dreams to the eyes.

So Tu Twelve looked at the chopsticks, two bowls, and three eggs in front of him, and was stunned: "What are you doing?"

"Let's play Three Immortals Returning to the Cave." Shen Jiusi said.

He had just returned from giving a lecture at the Capital University, and he sat down in the living room with the suit jacket pinned to the seven-pointed star on it, but with the sleeves pulled up to his elbows.

This appearance really doesn't match the egg bowl and chopsticks.

Tu Twelve sat across from him blankly: "How do you play?"

Shen Jiusi smiled and said, "Just guess, how many eggs are in the bowl."

Tu Twelve pursed his lips unhappily, only thinking that he had seen this scene before.

That was all from his childhood.

At that time, even his transformed appearance was a fat baby with fat hands and feet.At that time, his practice was not going well, everyone could fly, but he still couldn't fly.

All the other foxes in the school laughed at him because Twelve was too fat to fly.

He was very sad, and cried all the way home to find Master.Then Master took him down the mountain.

That was the first time he left Tu Shan.

It is different from the quiet Tushan.There are people coming and going at the bottom of the mountain, and it is very lively. The little fox in the mountain is directly dazzled.The master took him to the market in the human world, where he bought a candy painting for him.

The little fox in the painting is chubby with a pair of wings.

After getting the candy, he finally became happy, followed the master all the way around, and met a little girl about his age at the end of that busy alley.

The little girl held two broken bowls and three eggs, and said loudly to the onlookers: "Whoever can guess how many eggs are in my bowl will win those eggs. Otherwise, I will be given a copper coin." "

It is a good deal to exchange a copper coin even for an egg, and the adults around applauded.The little fox who came down the mountain for the first time had never seen such excitement and wanted to participate, but he was penniless and only had the candy that his master bought him.

The little girl looked at him and said generously, "If you don't guess correctly, just give me your candy."

The little fox was reluctant to part with both sweets and excitement, so he hesitated for a while before nodding.Anyway, he is a vixen, he will not lose.At worst, he didn't want her eggs in the end.

But who would have thought that he clearly saw two eggs in a bowl, and when the little girl opened the bowl, there was only one egg.

"You..." cheated.

"What's the matter with me? Bring the sugar."

The little fox, who was so happy after going down the mountain at the beginning, lost his beloved sugar painting, and followed his master back to the mountain crying.

At that time, while wiping his tears, the master laughed at him: "Don't think that you are a practitioner and look down on mortals. Have we, Little Twelve, realized the tricks of mortals?"

He wept, and nodded limply.

For a long time afterwards, he felt in his heart that the mortals who performed tricks under the mountain were all disgusting liars.

Now, the familiar two bowls and three eggs were placed in front of him again.

Shen Jiusi slowly put all the eggs into the bowl, knocking on each one for him to choose.

"Mr. Shen, I'm sure I won't be selected." Tu Twelve said.

"Choose one and open it." Shen Jiusi said.

Tu Twelve hesitated for a moment, then tapped the bowl on the right.

Shen Jiusi opened the bowl, the bowl was empty, there was no egg, but there was a stick of sugar painting.

The little fox in the painting has nine tails and fell asleep in a chubby group.On the transparent outer packaging, there is also a small red bow tie.

Tu Twelve suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Once a little fox cub, he wanted to learn to fly.So his sugar painting has wings.

Tu Twelve, who is now in the WTO, wants to cultivate a nine-tailed fox, so his sugar painting has nine tails.

It was as if the magician had brought back the candy he had lost before.

The little vixen grabbed the candy and looked at Shen Jiusi with sparkling eyes: "How did you think of buying this for me?"

"Today, our twelfth classmates didn't get drinks or flowers. Then we have to have our own candy." Shen Jiusi asked him, "My apology, do you like it?"

Tu Twelve nodded again and again: "Mr. Shen, you have saved the image of a magician in my heart for hundreds of years!"

"It was saved so easily?" Shen Jiusi smiled helplessly, "It seems that the previous image was not bad."

"No." Tu Shishi muttered, "I've met a lot of weird magicians when I was recording the show."

Shen Jiusi rubbed his head, walked to the side and took off his suit jacket, and said, "Okay, now that I've calmed down, let's start the next stage of the course."

After he finished speaking, he took Tu Twelve to the laboratory on the second floor, and pushed away the huge painting on the wall.

After the paintings are hung, there is a room shaped like a dance studio with mirrors on all sides.

Shen Jiusi walked to the middle of the room and said to Tu Twelve: "You stand on the stage, and your audience will look at you from these places."

As he spoke, he drew a semicircle: "In other theaters, there will be seats on the second floor. Their vision is very high, and they can directly look down on the movements in your hands."

"Skills are just skills after all. It can't really be created out of nothing. It's just a process of hiding and releasing." Shen Jiusi said, "So you have to pay special attention to the sight from a rare angle. You can't let the naked eye see your flaws."

"So next, we're all going to practice here."

Tu Twelve nodded with candy in his mouth, then took a deck of cards from his pocket and started to practice, Shen Jiusi stepped aside to observe his movements, and made corrections from time to time.

Only slowly, Shen Jiusi's voice became less and less.

Through the mirror, Tu Twelve could see his non-stop replying to messages.When he didn't reply, the man was on the sidelines and was a little distracted.

"Mr. Shen." Tu Shier walked up to him and called softly, "Are you unhappy?"

Shen Jiusi came back to her senses, and after a while said: "There are indeed some troubles."

"Then tell me, what if I can help you?"

Little Twelve pulled him and sat down on the ground, directly posing for a long conversation.

Shen Jiu thought for a long time before saying, "It's better if you knew about these things earlier. Don't you find it strange that the magicians you met when you recorded the show treated you badly?"

Tu Twelve nodded obediently: "Well, they are all inexplicable."

"Because they regard the Spring Festival Gala, as well as the evening shows of other first-line satellite TV, as private land. Of course they are not happy that you have violated their territory." Shen Jiusi said, "It's always been like this. Ordinary magicians don't worship on the top of the mountain , there is no way out."

"But..." The little fox was dumbfounded, "Didn't I get on the show based on my skills!"

"Yeah, but they don't think so. They think you stole what belongs to them." Shen Jiusi said, "Look at the top executives of the Magic Association, those surnames are still those who used to appear on the David TV. A surname. This is probably..."

"The big monster in the magic world!" Tu Twelve eagerly replied, "Tu Shan used to have one too. He occupied a mountain outside and asked other little monsters to support him, otherwise he would chase them away. In the end, it was taken care of by Master. La."

Shen Jiusi smiled and said: "That's almost what it means. Half a month later is the final of this year's Longxia Magic Competition, and they are inviting me to be a judge. But out of the five judges, four are their own people. Among the contestants, there are also Basically, the No.1 person has already been decided."

"So you're worried...is the game unfair?" Tu Twelve asked him.

Shen Jiusi shook his head, "I'm thinking, is this competition worth going?"

It's not that he doesn't understand the current situation of Long Xia's magic, but before returning to China, he really didn't expect it to be so difficult.

Although those big magic families competed, they formed a huge network with a tacit understanding, firmly controlling all channels from the official to the satellite TV platform.

It is really not an easy task to break this net, rebuild a new system, and revitalize Long Xia's magic.

Tu Shishi didn't think too much about it, he just took it for granted: "Of course I'm going. If even Teacher Shen doesn't go, wouldn't those magicians who don't get fair be even more pitiful?"

He thought for a while, and then added: "You are Teacher Shen, even if you can't fight for them for the time being, just encouraging them on the spot is the greatest reward for other magicians!"

It really doesn't work... The little fox thought for a while, then shook his head hastily.

There is no such option.Teacher Shen's body has been suppressed in the concept of departure, and if he breaks the contract to do things, I am afraid that even this distraction will not be free.

Shen Jiusi was taken aback when he heard the words, he looked at the little fox for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Twelve, that big monster outside of Tushan was taken care of by your master, right?"

Twelve nodded: "That's right. He couldn't beat Master, and was suppressed... and driven away!"

Repression cannot be mentioned.Teacher Shen is in such a bad mood, and it will be even more sad to mention suppressing him.

Shen Jiusi pondered and said: "You are right, when the inner net is flexible enough, it is better to try to break through it with force from the outside."

Tu Twelve:? ? ?

What Teacher Shen is saying, I don't understand...

"Practice hard, I'll go out and make a phone call." Shen Jiusi stroked his hair and hurried out the door.

Seeing the door close, Twelve simply went out, took a few pillows from the living room and went back to the practice room. After practicing for some time, Brother Yang suddenly called: "Twelve, you said you didn't know Teacher Shen was busy. What? Look at the money, isn't it coming!"

Tu Twelve tilted his head and clamped his phone, still cutting cards in his hand.Hearing this, he said absent-mindedly, "Brother Yang, I can understand what you said."

"Hey, it doesn't matter if you don't understand." Brother Yang said happily, "Just remember to turn to the publicity blog in a few days."

A week later, the No.30 [-]th Longxia Magic Conference suddenly set off a hurricane on all major social platforms.

This event, which has been held by the Longxia Magic Association, Longxia Art Association and Longxia University Alliance for 35 years, has entered the eyes of the public for the first time.

At the same time, the final will be broadcast live by Cherry Media on its own Cherry TV and Cherry Video platforms.

Tu Twelve saw this action, and suddenly realized.

He reposted the promotional blog happily, adding fuel to the already lively publicity.
