The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 521: Hong Kong Past (2)

"Do you really think so?" Qian Xiaoyi looked at him strangely and asked, "Now you are the boss of the gang and you have the final say. You are still young and strong. It is the time for you to fight hard. Are you willing to hand over these powers?"

"Don't test me." Zhang Chunfa waved his hand, then sighed: "After seeing what I did in there, I thought about retiring. What I have to do now is to slowly replace all those harmful things in my hands with legitimate businesses. If I do those things again, I feel that my end will definitely not be much better than those two flops. I will go to hell sooner or later.

After these things are completely resolved, I will retire and go out with my wife and children every day. Maybe I can even go back to China. These things in the underworld are all harming people under the banner of benevolence and righteousness. The brothers in the underworld I met at the funeral these days are full of benevolence and morality, but in fact they are all for profit. I want to vomit when I see them now. "

"It's a pity that the matter has not been resolved yet. You can't relax yet." Qian Xiaoyi asked: "Hasn't the Hundred Ghosts come to you yet?"

Logically speaking, after the death of the Green Ghost and the Red Ghost, the nest is still there, so the Hundred Ghosts will definitely not let go of this benefit. In addition, no one else knows about Zhang Chunfa's existence, so it is undoubtedly a good time to make a comeback, rebuild the game hall and continue to harvest souls.

Zhang Chunfa shook his head: "No, no other strangers have contacted me during this period... Are you sure they will contact me again?"

"I'm sure." Qian Xiaoyi said, "You didn't see the demon sword after you went there that day. It's very likely that it has been recovered by the Hundred Ghosts. They won't let go of this piece of fat meat like you."

"What a hassle." Zhang Chunfa suddenly said, "By the way, can you help me take a look at the tattoo on my back? It seems to have changed a bit in the past few days."

He took off his shirt and turned around to let Qian Xiaoyi see what was going on.

At this time, Zhang Chunfa's original ghost's mouth tattoo seemed to have faded a little, and below the faint ghost's mouth tattoo, a tattoo of a human portrait was faintly visible.

Zhang Chunfa explained: "That day, the punk Chuan Dao Liangwu took me to Kabukicho and forced me to drink. You know I can't drink alcohol. I get allergic reactions if I drink too much, so I usually only drink coconut milk. But that day I couldn't avoid it. After drinking too much, the skin on my back became swollen, and the tattoo became like this."

"Have you been to the hospital? What did the doctor say?" Qian Xiaoyi asked.

"The doctor said I was fine," Zhang Chunfa said. "I took two anti-allergy pills and the swelling went down."

"That's a good thing." Qian Xiaoyi said, "That day I let the Green Ghost absorb the power of the Ghost's Mouth that had accumulated in your body for a long time, and returned the karma that was originally supposed to be borne to him. Now the things that were suppressed deep inside by the Ghost's Mouth have appeared, and it was also it that saved you, otherwise you would not have survived that night... So, it's time to explain about the things suppressed by the Ghost's Mouth tattoo and what you promised to tell me, otherwise I don't know how to help you."

Zhang Chunfa put on his clothes, then sighed and said, "Okay... I'll tell you about the past. Alas, they are all old stories. If you want to listen, be prepared. This story is a bit long."

He picked up the teacup and blew on it, drank some water to moisten his throat, and then said, "This happened twenty-five... Oh, it seems to be twenty-six years ago this year. Yes, that's right, twenty-six years ago. You know, I lived in Kowloon Walled City when I was a child. At that time, the walled city had just been demolished for two years, and my father and I were resettled in public housing...

I was just 18 years old that year, and I was fearless. I watched movie tapes every day when I was a child and regarded Brother Mark as my idol. After my father moved out of the Walled City, he lost his dental license and his job. Our family was in financial difficulty. I was not a good student and could not concentrate on my studies, so I followed those bad guys and joined gangs. That was when I met your master.

At that time, your master did not come to Hong Kong alone, he was accompanied by someone..."

Zhang Chunfa spoke slowly and leisurely from the afternoon to the evening. He talked for a long time and drank several pots of tea. Finally, he finished recounting his experiences and the things he remembered about Taoist Lingkong.

During this time, Qian Xiaoyi listened quietly and occasionally asked a few questions.

They even ordered some snacks from a nearby Chinese restaurant. While eating, Zhang Chunfa talked as if he was just chatting with his family, recalling those glorious past events and sighing. After telling all the stories in his memory, Zhang Chunfa patted his thigh and stood up, saying: "I have said everything I should say. This is what I promised you before. I hope it can help you... By the way, this is for you. Your master gave it to me. Maybe it will be useful to you."

As he spoke, he took out an eyeball from his pocket and placed it in Qian Xiaoyi's hand.

Feeling the cold and hard touch of the eyeball, Qian Xiaoyi looked at Zhang Chunfa and asked, "What is this..."

Zhang Chunfa pointed at his sunglasses and said, "This is what your master gave me. I have been hiding in there for more than 20 years. Now that I have spoken out everything, I feel much better. One cannot hide in there forever. It is time to come out~"

He patted Qian Xiaoyi on the shoulder and said, "Now we are both on the same boat. I will help you if you need anything. You should take care of yourself. I hope you know what you are doing."

After saying that, he left Lingkong Office.

Qian Xiaoyi looked at the glass eyeball in his hand and pondered for a while, then rushed to the bedroom and frantically searched through the books and notebooks on the bookshelf. The information Zhang Chunfa told him began to combine with what he knew. The huge amount of information was constantly combined and diverged in his mind, gradually completing and revealing the full picture of what happened that year.

After searching for information for an unknown amount of time, Qian Xiaoyi lay on the bed, holding a notebook left by Taoist Lingkong in his hand, and fell into a trance.

……

When he opened his eyes, he suddenly smelled the aroma of wine, so he got up from the bed in the side room, tidied his Taoist robe and hair, yawned, and walked out of the room.

In the yard, Taoist Lingkong was sitting in front of a stone table, on which was placed a plate of peanuts, a pot of wine, and two wine glasses.

"Are you awake?" Taoist Lingkong asked, looking at the green mountains in the distance.

"Yeah." Qian Xiaoyi sat on the stone bench, picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth, then said, "I know everything about what happened back then."

"Alas... what a sin..." Taoist Lingkong looked into the distance and asked with a bitter look on his face: "What happened back then is already in the past, do you still want to continue?"

Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said, "You can't stop me, and isn't that what you want to do too? So, do you want to tell me in person?"

"What's the difference?" Taoist Lingkong said, "I am just the remaining cognition in your mind. I don't know what you don't know. You know everything I know."

"I want to confirm it." Qian Xiaoyi said, "And I always feel that it would be better for you to tell me about this kind of thing."

“Okay~” Taoist Lingkong stood up, stretched, and said, “What a troublesome disciple… Come to think of it, it was my first time on a plane, and I almost peed myself.”

Qian Xiaoyi looked up and saw a huge plane flying over his head and landing at the Hong Kong airport. Two Taoists walked out of the airport with excitement and curiosity, looking at this modern city with its bright lights and splendor.
