Just now I had a very strong feeling that if I dared to move even slightly, that white owl would immediately peck out my eyes.

Xiaobingtou and his group left, now only Red Sister and I are left here, trapped.

Sister Hong regained her consciousness after about two and a half hours. Sister Hong told me that she still had some memory of what happened before, and she also thought about resisting, but her body wouldn't obey.

I sat on the ground leaning against Sister Hong, and she told me some things about the owl woman.

She said that she was forced to swallow a small package of something before. That package is what they call "finger gold."

My arm hurts and I'm cold and hungry. I forced myself to ask: "The owl was white, what was wrapped in gold inside its finger How could it control a person so easily, is it even more powerful than the old sea dog's hypnotic incense"

In the darkness, Hongjie weakly said, "Yunfeng, have you ever heard of a man named Partridge Whistle"

"A Partridge Whistle Is that the tomb robber who can mimic every bird call in the world"

"Yes, it's that person."

“These professions are all from the old skin trade. Their identities are not just tomb robbers, men are called partridge whistles, and women are called partridge wives. This line of work is already small, and there are even fewer female partridge wives, counting them on one's fingers. Yun Feng, the person we just met, is a real partridge wife. I never thought before that there would still be such a young partridge wife now.”

The old saying goes that "pi xing" used to be about real magic. According to Red Sister, there were many people in the pi xing who truly had abilities.

Now people are more familiar with kinds of leather performances, like the Three Immortals Returning to Their Cave, swallowing a sword and iron ball, and having a sharp blade pointed at their throat.

These methods were only considered inferior in previous leather workshops.

The Partridge Whistle and the Partridge Wife, one can learn birds' calls and the other can drive them away. There are many untold secrets within this, which ordinary people simply cannot understand.

In the old society of last century, the traveling peddlers' industry collapsed. Some chose to continue living on the streets performing arts, while others, influenced by foreign art troupes, eventually joined circuses and performed abroad. Among them, the most famous were Hongniangzi and Zhu Liankui.

Zhu Liankui once performed for Empress Dowager Cixi while she was in her palace. After watching, Cixi was very pleased and specially instructed Sun Dianying to give Zhu Liankui a small yellow fish as a reward.

Sun Lian Kui had four great skills, namely spitting a hundred zhangs, fishing with an empty pole, restoring torn paper, and flying water from a bowl. The last skill, flying water from a bowl, was Sun Lian Kui's specialty. At that time, no one else in the entire Jianghu (martial arts world) could perform this skill.

In 1898, Julien Cue followed a circus troupe to perform for the first time in America. His magic trick "Flying Water with a Big Bowl" shocked the entire foreign magic world as soon as it debuted.

From then on, all of Julien Kuai's performances were always sold out. All the foreigners who watched them were mesmerized.

At that time, several major theaters abroad were vying for Julian Kwei, competing fiercely. Every theater wanted to have this mysterious magician from the East.

During the same period, there was another master of magic in the circus named Cheng Liansu. This person claimed to have completely deciphered the secret of Da Wan Feishui, and he even issued a challenge to Zhu Liankui.

That year, in winter, this earth-shattering magical duel from the mysterious East made headlines in foreign tabloids.

That same year, snow fell. Foreigners crowded the theater to watch this match-up.

Time came as scheduled, and Zhu Liancui and Cheng Liansu met, bowing to each other and greeting each other with "Brother Zhu" and "Brother Cheng."

At the beginning of a match, to heat up the atmosphere, both sides will first show off their skills, which is called a debut.

Cheng Lian Su's specialty was "shooting live people", much to everyone's surprise, the praise session didn't last long before an accident occurred.

It is said that during the performance, a black bird flew into the venue from somewhere. Some witnesses claimed it was a crow, while others said it was a different species. At first, everyone ignored the bird. Unexpectedly, the bird suddenly flew to Cheng Liansu's gun barrel and pulled the trigger with its claws!

A gunshot!
