Chapter 150 The Door to the Color Play
"Captain, this house also has a cellar."
The houses in Caixi Lane have a characteristic, that is, the space is narrow, and there is no place to put sundries and store grain.
But this does not bother the local residents. They mostly dig cellars in their own courtyards to expand the storage space.
Before leaving, most people went into the cellar and took away some valuable items.
Therefore, when the Yu Lin Fuqi divided into two groups yesterday and inspected the structure of each house in detail, they focused on recording the location of the cellar.
"The cellar is well hidden and must be inspected. Take me to see it."
Zhou Yuan has always been serious about his work. He has checked the cellars of several previous houses, and it is even more impossible for him to let go of this cellar.
Upon hearing this, the Yu Lin Fuqi immediately moved the water tank in the vegetable garden, bent down and picked up a thick wooden board, indicating that the cellar was here.
Zhou Yuan had the ability of wide vision, so he didn't need torches or other lighting objects. He walked forward and saw that the space inside the cellar was narrow and round.
The entrance is not big, and it gets wider as you go down. There is a bamboo ladder climbing up the earth wall. Firewood, radishes, rattan baskets and other sundries are placed at the bottom of the cellar.
However, the bamboo ladder is no longer usable. The horizontal bar in the middle is broken in many places. Judging from the broken marks, it should have been done in recent days.
"Is anyone injured?"
"Don't worry, Captain. No one is injured. It's just that this bamboo ladder is not durable. We stepped on several steps and broke them twice."
The Yulin auxiliary cavalry is a tall and strong man. In addition, he is wearing armor, which is not something that a crudely made bamboo ladder can withstand.
Zhou Yuan asked why he didn't remove it if it was broken. The Yulin auxiliary cavalry smiled foolishly.
"It's dark down here. If the master comes back, he will fall half to death if he steps on the air.
I left him a broken ladder. Even if it doesn't work, he can slide down by grabbing the bamboo tube."
This made Zhou Yuan helpless. He ordered him to buy a new ladder and replaced it, and then jumped directly into the cellar.
As soon as he fell into the cellar, he made a new discovery. In the convex cellar, there was a door that looked like a shadow.
There were some stars twinkling around the door, and there were outlines of objects such as pills, swords, beans, rings, and ropes on the door.
[School: Caiximen]
[Introduction: The magic tricks are cleverly changed in thousands of ways, and the truth and falsehood are confusing and intoxicating.
Those who meet the conditions can enter Caiximen and obtain the secondary profession of magician. ]
[Entry conditions: Any magic trick has reached the maximum level. ]
The situation of Caiximen exceeded Zhou Yuan's expectations. He thought of many possibilities before coming.
For example, it was a casual copy, or there was a rope monster in the copy, which became a family heirloom for street performers after killing people and gaining wisdom.
Even when he first discovered the white light flashing, he thought it was a secret portal.
But he never expected that the truth of the matter was more complicated than he imagined.
"No wonder the Hemp Rope to Heaven was only a flash in the pan and then disappeared."
You can enter if you reach the maximum level of any magic trick. This prerequisite sounds easy, but it is much more complicated than the triggering conditions of props.
Zhou Yuan himself has the maximum level of string control skills. The three-star chain arrows he often uses are achieved by the maximum level of string control skills.
The source of this skill is too simple. The coach of Jing'an Camp taught him for a few days and he learned it.
But until now, Zhou Yuan has not seen an archer who can shoot three-star chain arrows like him.
The most common skills are practiced to the highest level, which is the accumulation of persistence and understanding.
In addition, normal people cannot maintain the peak state. If they do not practice for a few days or are not focused, they may fall from the peak state.
They do not have attribute panels and have no idea how far they are from the entry conditions.
When they think they have practiced it but still cannot enter the Color Play Gate, most of them think that the Color Play Gate does not exist.
The most important thing is that if you have a full-level magic trick and just happen to pass by this place and touch the portal of this sect, the chance is too low.
"It seems that the old man who played tricks on the county magistrate and the father and son who stole peaches with a hemp rope are both geniuses in magic tricks.
However, they may not be two people. Perhaps the story of stealing peaches happened earlier, and playing tricks on the county magistrate was a later event.
It's just that the magician with superb skills has grown old, and his former caution has become free and easy as his ability grows."
Zhou Yuan pretended to explore and touched the illusory door. This time, there was no reaction.
The attribute panel directly gave feedback information, [Ding, insufficient conditions, unable to enter the Caixi Gate].
To be honest, this is the easiest and most difficult trigger secret realm he has ever seen.
Easy refers to himself, and difficult refers to everyone, including the warrior group.
He even suspected that even if he handed over the method to enter the Caixi Gate, the Wei court would not be able to find someone who could enter in recent years.
Unless the Wei court specially opened a magic class, extensively trained and constantly improved, maybe someone would meet the requirements in a few years.
"Magicians, immortals, only after entering can you see their true appearance, and if you don't enter, it's just a dream."
Zhou Yuan used the wind control technique to enter the floating state, and jumped out of the cellar. He already knew what to do next.
In the next two days, he searched normally with the warrior guards, and sent out the Yu Lin Fu Qi to find the residents of Cai Xi Lane to ask about their past.
Soon the Yu Lin Fu Qi brought a valuable news. An old man told the origin of the name of Cai Xi Lane.
He said that his ancestors used to be street performers, and later opened a Cai Xi Garden, which not only accepted apprentices but also performed.
Therefore, Caixi Lane was once a theater. Although it was later dilapidated and converted into a residential building, it still retained the name of Caixi.
He also said that the generations in his family tree can be connected into one sentence: magic tricks are as good as real ones, and Caixi is the entry point.
Unfortunately, time has changed. I don’t know from which generation their family has become carpenters, and they have been making a living with carpentry skills.
At the end, he also sold his stools to Yulin Fuqi, and the honest and strong man bought a few back.
"Didn’t you ask if there were any magic books?"
"Sir, I asked.
The old man Liu said that even if there were, his ancestors used them as fire starters. Now their family has nothing except carpentry drawings."
Although this honest Yulin Fuqi did not bring back any important information, it provided Zhou Yuan with a good entry point.
"Colorful Opera Garden, Fairy Rope, Street Performers, the strange stories and place names here are all related to magic tricks, maybe we can start from here.
You go find Magistrate Zhang and ask him to post a notice to invite a few folk magicians to perform for me. The remuneration is calculated at 30 copper coins per day."
With the scale of resources that Zhou Yuan can mobilize, it is easy to give hundreds of copper coins every day.
But folk artists are cautious. If they offer too high a price, they will think it is a life-saving money, and then they dare not accept it.
Therefore, Zhou Yuan is stingy for a rare time and is ready to use less money to draw out the most valuable clues.
"Next, it is to learn a magic trick.
As long as it is upgraded to the maximum level, you can get a glimpse of what is inside the Colorful Opera Sect."
