NOVEL NEXT Chapter 166 The soul is separated
With doubts, Mao Xi stood in the auditorium of the East Stage waiting for the performance.
On the stage, a master chef stood on the left side of the stage, and a large box on the right was covered with a black cloth.
The old master took a whip and started beating the floor.
The black cloth on the right is getting higher and higher, reaching a height of three meters.
The old master threw away the whip, walked to the black cloth, and pulled it open.
A large python suddenly appeared under the black cloth, spitting out a message, staring at the auditorium, and making a sound of "呲!呲呲".
Ma Xi took half a step back along with the audience. She was also frightened by this realistic image.
The sound and picture are synchronized. In ancient times, this was even used as a magic show.
Ma Xi looked at the four corners of the stage and didn't see any "image making" machines.
"It's strange, no wonder this is really a legendary illusion."
Just when everyone was still afraid of this python.
The old master on the left put the black cloak behind him forward to cover his body, and slowly, he buried his head in the cloak.
Suddenly, the cloak fell to the ground, and an eagle flew out of it.
The eagle circled twice in the air and then swooped down towards the python.
The python became smaller and smaller until the eagle's talons caught the python.
In an instant, the python disappeared and turned into a cluster of rose petals, which exploded in place and fell into the audience.
The wooden box on the right side of the stage was suddenly opened, and the old master jumped out of the box.
The air is filled with the scent of rose flowers, which is intoxicating.
Ma Xi applauded along with the audience. She had no time to find the flaw in this scene.
Whether it is illusion or magic, this performance is really wonderful. Not only the picture is realistic, but also the fragrance is like watching a 4D movie.
If they hadn't only performed once, Mao Xi would have really wanted to watch a few more performances in the audience.
In the audience, two young men wanted to go up to the stage to find the master performing the illusion. However, when they squeezed to the front of the stage, the master was already gone in the waiting area.
Mao Xi asked them, "Brothers, who is this master? When did you start performing? Are you still there tomorrow?"
The boy holding the paper fan said: "This old master is said to be a disciple of Taoist immortals. He came to Kaitang County this time just to preach. The performance only started in the past two days. Now many people want to join his sect and follow him. Learning the magic of immortality!"
Another boy was pushed forward by the crowd and said, "Having said that, the old master has not officially accepted his followers yet. Every evening, he transforms into a giant roc and lands on the stage. The technique disappeared on the spot, so it’s probably only possible for someone with a predestined relationship to join the cult!”
After being pushed out of the east stage by the crowd, Mao Xi finally returned to the market.
She only felt a little dizzy, probably caused by lack of oxygen due to too many people in the audience.
When she returned to the fruit cake shop, she sat on a chair outside and her breathing became rapid.
Sensing the abnormality in Mao Xi's complexion, Mu Zhiyuan, who was still selling coffee, handed over the work to A Tian.
"Ah Shu, what's wrong with you? Your head is so hot?"
Mao Xi panted, suddenly feeling dizzy and ringing in her ears: "Brother Mu, I'm a little dizzy, like carsickness."
Mu Zhiyuan put his hand on Miao Xi's forehead and touched it.
"Motion sickness? Didn't you go to see the Sun's Fruit Cake Shop just now? Why did you suddenly feel dizzy?"
Mrs. Chen rushed to the door from the kitchen and saw her daughter looking strange: "Maybe she is exhausted, or she may have eaten something bad. Ah Mu, why don't you send her back to Lihua Town to rest first."
Mu Zhiyuan first took Shu Xi back to Liuxiang Snacks. Lou Lan'er stepped forward to check on Shu Xi and saw that she was dazed and kept saying: "Dizziness, I'm sleepy!"
After feeding Ma Xi some warm water, Lou Lan'er took her back to the house to rest first.
When she came back from closing at night, Lou Laner found that Shui Xi was still sleeping, so she covered him with a quilt: "Is Shui overworked? Let her have a good rest."
Unexpectedly, the next morning, when Mao Xi woke up early, she began to talk about going to the stage to watch the master perform illusions, completely forgetting about the food shop.
Xiaodouzi was extremely worried, grabbing Mao Xi's wrist and shaking it: "Sister, sister, I am Xiaodouzi, what's wrong with you?"
Mao Xi squatted down, touched Xiaodouzi's head and said, "Xiaodouzi, go watch the master's performance with your sister in the evening."
Lou Lan'er suspected that Shu Xi was sleepwalking and pinched Shu Xi's arm.
Mao Xi shouted in pain: "Don't pinch me, Lou Lan'er, you're hurting me!"
Lou Lan'er took Shu Xi back to Liuxiang Snacks. Today, Shu Xi was completely out of shape. She seemed to be looking forward to watching the illusion show in the evening all day long.
Realizing that the situation was not good, Lou Laner secretly ran to Lu Da, and the two discussed countermeasures.
"Brother Lu Da, I heard what Ah Shao was talking about. She is going to see some illusion show. Could it be that she was enchanted by some show she saw yesterday?"
Luda shook his head: "I don't think so. She recognizes us, but her condition is not right. She seems to have been drugged, and she is missing part of her consciousness. You can go find Dr. Zhang and take a look."
To be on the safe side, Lou Lan'er asked Xiao Qing to keep an eye on Mu Xi first: "Xiao Qing, I'm going to find Dr. Zhang. Please keep Mu Xi in the room and don't come out to cook for now."
In the medical clinic, Dr. Zhang listened to Lou Laner's description, took A Dong and the medical box, and came to Liuxiang Snacks for a consultation.
He first checked Mu Xi's eyes and tongue, and then took her pulse.
"Miss Lan'er, what did shopkeeper Shu Xi eat yesterday?"
"Nothing special about it. I ate the same as her."
"But where did you go to become like this?"
"I went to the theater yesterday to watch a performance. I've been like this since this morning. I'm still thinking about going to see it in the evening."
Doctor Zhang looked sternly and said: "I hope my guess is wrong, Miss Lan'er, Ah Shui is suffering from 'Soul Leaving Syndrome'. Normally, it only occurs after taking a large amount of 'Leave the Soul'" This kind of symptom can usually be cured automatically within three days, but if you take it every day, you may lose your mind and be controlled by others."
Lou Lan'er panicked. She had heard of the word "Liehunshun" when she traveled around the world, and it was only used by some robbing gangsters and black shop owners.
"Please ask Dr. Zhang to perform acupuncture and save Mao Xi's soul."
A Dong opened Dr. Zhang's medicine box and assisted him in administering acupuncture.
Doctor Zhang applied acupuncture on Mao Xi's arm.
Mao Xi suddenly took a breath and looked at everyone in confusion.
"Doctor Zhang, Adong, why are you here?"
Miao Xi's soul finally came back.
