Chapter 1 Laohui
Broadway theater is the center of the entertainment industry in New York and even the country. It represents the forefront of individual and public appreciation of art and is a performance sanctuary not to be missed.
Every practitioner is proud to be on this stage, and is even willing to fight for his or her life.
However, the world is always so miraculous. What some people cannot achieve even after a lifetime of hard work may only take half a year for another person.
At this moment, the theater was full of seats, and there were some small chatter in the quiet environment, but the content of their conversations could not avoid one person.
Lu Xixian.
This is a Chinese performer, or "magician".
It only took half a year for this man to go from the streets to the largest theater in the United States. With his incredible magic skills, he gained exclamation, fame, money, as well as criticism and curses.
This is a mysterious and contradictory man.
Today is the other party's first official performance, and the theme of the performance is four words.
Wherever the heart desires.
But unlike others, someone sitting in the left corner of the first row didn't care about tonight's performance. He looked at the time on his watch and said.
"I thought you were going to hold an award ceremony for me and get some reporters and people from the military to praise me."
"You surprised me, Uncle Stan."
Stretching his feet, Tony Stark felt that some seats should be replaced on Broadway. The old furnishings gave him a smell of decay.
It was obvious that he didn't like it here.
"I know you, Tony. Compared with those false names, you should like another thing more."
As he spoke, Obadiah Stan looked at Virginia Pepper Potts next to Tony and smiled politely.
As the personal secretary of Tony Stark, an industrial giant, Pepper responded with the same polite smile.
Although Obadiah did not continue to tell, everyone understood that as a playboy known throughout the United States, beauty was often ranked first in Tony's eyes.
Second only to inventions and cheeseburgers in some cases.
Several people talked quietly, but as time went by, not only Tony became more impatient, but also Obadiah.
As an inviter, the excitement of the show determines his face, which can be viewed on the stage.
The bright red curtain has been closed, but the host on the stage has not yet arrived.
However, just as everyone's conversation gradually became louder, the attentive Tony discovered that a tuft of grass suddenly grew beside his feet.
The grass is green and fresh, and if you look carefully you can even see a drop of dew falling.
Just when Tony had some doubts about his dazzling vision, the surrounding environment also began to change.
The colors faded, and black and white intertwined together. In an instant, everyone saw that the interior of the theater had changed into something completely different, with mountains and rocks standing there, flowers and birds standing still, and after a crisp chirping, the surroundings began to have color.
Everything seemed to come alive.
At the same time, a figure slowly walked from the sky surrounded by a group of cranes.
Dressed in white, holding a folding fan.
Flying across the sky, lotuses grow step by step.
This person's face doesn't look very stunning, but his deep eyes seem to lead people deeper into sinking.
Several unmarried girls in the audience have even thought of names for their children.
"Jarvis! Material analysis!"
Tony's watch lit up, and the complex data on it began to be calculated. After a moment, this rare smart butler in the world gave a result.
No exception.
He reached out to grab the soil on the ground and felt the moisture and delicateness in his palm. Tony, who firmly believed that science was the source, looked around with some doubts.
At this time, you will be at the top of the mountain and have a panoramic view of the mountains.
Even Tony Stark, who was traveling around the world as usual, was amazed by this scene. He seemed to be in a dream at this moment.
But unlike him, the eyes of the others were already looking at the young man who fell gently to the ground.
"Sorry everyone, I'm late."
“To express our apologies, we invite everyone to come here.”
"At the same time, I also have a cup of apology."
The young man folded his fan and waved it gently, and then the crane from the sky slowly flew over. When it fell in front of everyone, they found that the crane was holding a glass of thin wine in its mouth.
In an instant, the wine glasses fell into everyone's hands, and the glasses were divided equally. At the same time, a sweet taste lingered in the nose.
Tony still frowned at the wine glass in his hand. The clear liquid inside made him suspect that he had fallen into a deeper hallucination.
Looking to the side, Obadiah had already finished the drink, and then his eyes lit up.
"Good wine!"
Some people tasted it lightly, some drank it all in one gulp, and some people threw it away carefully, but the young man not far away didn't take it seriously and just continued to speak.
"The wine has been drunk, have you seen enough of the scenery?"
The voice was not loud, but it rang in everyone's ears. But before anyone could reply, the young man waved his folding fan and walked away.
"Everyone didn't say anything, obviously they haven't seen enough. In this case, my performance is about to begin."
As soon as he finished speaking, in the blink of an eye, the surrounding scenery had changed back to its original state, as if everything just now was just a dream.
In the stands, the curtain has been opened, and an elegant young man is standing quietly with a smile.
And Tony Stark looked at the wine glass made of grass leaves in his right hand. There was a pair of thinking eyes in the clear wine inside.
"A hallucination?"
"Hmph, let me see what other tricks you have up your sleeve!"
Illusion, also known as blinding, is a small trick used to confuse ordinary people. It is neither good nor inferior to ordinary people.
Lu Xixian could be called a great master of illusion in his previous life, but compared with the Taoist priests on Longhu Mountain, his conception of magic was still far behind.
Although his previous cultivation level has not been completely restored, it is completely enough to confuse this group of foreigners.
Looking at the eyes in the audience switching between confusion and thinking, Lu Xixian spoke again.
"I was just late because of a traffic jam. The driver at the front said he saw an elephant."
"The elephant encountered a lion, and earlier the lion was taking a walk."
"To be honest, the scene was a bit chaotic."
As he spoke, Lu Xixian scratched his head in annoyance, and then pieces of silvery debris that could not be seen by ordinary people slowly fell down and floated towards the audience.
“How can there be elephants on the streets of New York?”
"Neither does a lion! Let alone take a walk!"
"Nonsense, my uncle Jonard next door has a lion."
"Oh! Then your Uncle Jonard must be very strong."
"Of course, he is a strong man, and I will be like him in the future."
"You? Judging from your physique, you can only be a small strongman."
"Small? No! I'm Hercules!"
"Little Hercules!"
The people who came to watch Lu Xixian's debut were not ordinary people. Political dignitaries and rich people of all kinds were just the norm. There were even several royal members from the Middle East in the center.
But these identities are far inferior to those in the previous rows, such as Tony Stark who has been thinking about it.
As the president of Stark Industries, Tony Stark graduated from MIT at the age of 17 and has been studying for further studies since then.
At the age of 21, he inherited his father's business. With the reputation of his father, Howard Stark, a legendary weapons developer, the giant ship named Stark Industries sailed towards the wide sea. From then on, no waves could affect it. This huge ship.
It can be said that with the arrival of this person, tomorrow's headline list will definitely not be peaceful.
The audience was still talking, but most of them thought Lu Xixian was lying. But with a snap of his fingers, a burst of heavy footsteps sounded in the hall, and as far as the eye could see, an elephant actually walked onto the stage.
The elephant was a little clumsy, but its huge size still made the stage shaky. Just when the theater staff behind the scenes were worried that there was a problem with the stage, a lion suddenly appeared next to him.
A brown body walked past his feet, and then a cold shiver made him regain some consciousness.
"Lions? And tigers!"
Lu Xixian calmed the elephant in response to everyone's astonished gazes, and then gently raised his hand. A king of the jungle and an overlord of the grassland came to the young man's hand obediently.
"Look, to prove that I didn't lie, I brought all the beasts involved."
"There was even a tiger watching."
Bowing slightly, Lu Xixian had a smile on her lips, and a burst of warm applause sounded from below.
When the applause stopped, Lu Xixian waved his hand. There was no elephant on the stage, only broken pieces of paper.
"A little trick, thank you for your appreciation, but it's also an appetizer for tonight."
"Just like the three animals just now, the elephant may have come out because he was hungry."
"The lion may have come out because the living environment in the zoo is not very good."
“The tiger might just be there because of the excitement here”
"Their simple minds have their own pursuits and aspirations. This is true for animals, and it is the same for humans."
"And tonight, we will follow our hearts."
After speaking, Lu Xixian pointed to a boy in the middle seat, ignoring the still thinking eyes below.
It can be seen that the other party is very well-dressed, even if he is just at school age, he is wearing a well-fitting suit.
The other party was panicked for a moment when Lu Xixian was selected, but then calmed down and stood up while trying to maintain a serious expression.
But the boy was so cute that the adults next to him laughed out loud.
The same was true for Lu Xixian. Afterwards, he walked off the stage and just took one step. When he took the second step, he was already in front of the boy. This flash-like behavior made the audience couldn't help but applaud.
Even Tony Stark, who was finishing his thoughts, was the same.
"I have to say, Uncle Stan"
"This is much better than the awards show."
At this time, he had given up thinking about the reason. After all, the brain of a genius also needs to rest, and when it rests, it needs to put away its annoying arrogance.
At this time, Lu Xixian came to the boy, smiled slightly at the two people beside the boy, then took out a microphone and put it in the boy's hand, and then asked softly.
"How old is the little gentleman this year?"
The boy picked up the phone slightly awkwardly and answered.
"Eight years old..."
It can be seen that the other party is quite nervous. After all, previous performances did not include interaction in the audience, and Lu Xixian's several dazzling skills just now also gave the boy a filter for the gentle big brother in front of him.
At this time, I even stuttered a bit when answering the questions.
But Lu Xixian didn't take it seriously and continued to ask questions.
"Little sir, if you could choose a place in the world that you most want to visit"
"Where would you choose?"
This question made the boy think deeply, and then he remembered the last summer vacation, when his father clearly promised him that he would take him to see the Sphinx.
But due to my father’s work and the desolation of Egypt, I finally chose Bali.
This troubled the boy so much that he wanted to see one of the wonders of the world and was willing to go a whole year without causing trouble.
But in the end he didn't achieve his wish.
Hearing the other party's question at this time, the boy responded quickly.
"Sphinx!"
The same answer made Lu Xixian stand up, then opened his hands and said to everyone.
"Very good, it seems our first stop has been decided."
"Then let's begin our journey now!"
It was still the familiar snap of fingers, but this time everyone did not see the changes around them. Instead, following a trance, the surrounding air began to get hotter.
At the same time, Lu Xixian also said slowly.
“I forgot to tell everyone that you must wear sun protection.”
“After all, this is Egypt.”
A heat wave hit, and the dramatic temperature rise caused everyone to neatly stretch out their hands to block the sun.
Among them, Tony Stark clenched the grass wine glass in his hand and looked above his head. There was a huge thing there.
The other person wears a crown on his head, has fan-shaped hoods hanging down from the sides of his ears, and has the symbol of an Egyptian emperor on his lower jaw. There is no doubt that this is the Sphinx.
Such a scene allowed him to restart his brain after a short rest, and then looked at the mysterious "magician".
"I'm a little bit interested in you!"
As for the scene, it exploded with the boy's exclamation, followed by various behaviors of calling God.
Some people even want to try to see if the scene in front of them is real.
But all this was stopped by Lu Xixian.
"Excuse me, sir"
“No open defecation here!”
At the same time, tonight's performance finally officially started.
