The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 531: Hong Kong Past (12)

Taoist Lingkong continued to explain to Qian Xiaoyi why they came to cause trouble for each other:
"Besides being unable to bear it, we actually had a mission at the time. Isn't Hong Kong going to return in two years? So in addition to studying the cognitive environment here and perfecting the theory, we also had to investigate the metaphysical forces here and collect some intelligence. Starting with the local tyrants was a good choice."

The sound of wind chimes rang out, and this nameless shop welcomed three uninvited guests.

When they walked into the store, they didn't see anyone. Strange statues and various weird items were placed cluttered on the shelves. The air was filled with the smell of incense, and the dim light bulbs gave people a sense of panic and depression.

Relying on the presence of two masters, Ah Fa looked around the store with great pride and did not feel any pressure at all.

At this time, he was attracted by a black multi-armed Buddha statue. Ah Fa wanted to touch it, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was hit on the back of the head. He suddenly realized that it was Taoist Jingde when he turned around.

"Don't touch it." Taoist Jingde reminded: "There is a curse on it. If you touch it, you will be cursed. Everything here has problems. Don't touch it."

What he didn't say was that even the incense had problems, so even the boss here didn't stay here.

Ah Fa was shocked. When he thought about how close he was to being tricked, cold sweat broke out on his head. He cursed, "This place is really weird!"

After they looked for a while, the owner of the place walked out slowly. He was a thin middle-aged man wearing a black gown, with a serious yet evil temperament. When he walked out, his scattered eyes suddenly focused because he saw the two Taoists in the store.

Normally, only the target and the unlucky ones would appear here. Now two Taoist priests came. This is not a good intention! Now I just hope that they are not coming for me, but they found this store by chance.

His expression immediately became amiable, like an ordinary, mercenary man. He bowed and came in front of them and asked, "Excuse me, I was just taking a shit. Are you two here to buy something? I have a lot of good stuff here, all imported from Southeast Asia."

The two Taoists didn't understand Cantonese, but Zhang Chunfa got angry when he heard it.

"Hey! What are you pretending for?" Zhang Chunfa pointed at his nose and said, "You have nothing but harmful things here! What's good about it? Last month, there was a girl at Yau Ma Tei Station. Do you remember her? It was you who cast a spell on her, right?"

The shop owner's face immediately turned cold. He understood that the black magic had been exposed and someone had come to his door. No wonder he suddenly couldn't feel the target's presence some time ago.

"Business~" the shop owner said helplessly, "I was just asked to do this. Now that the girl is fine, it means there is a master. According to the rules of the martial arts world, I will not attack her anymore. Please go back."

Ah Fa was young and hot-tempered. He said angrily, "You still haven't explained who instructed you to kill people!"

The two Taoists stood beside Ah Fa, seemingly supporting him. After all, the financial sponsor also asked them to try their best to find out who wanted to harm his daughter. Just like what the shop owner said, they were just asked by someone to do it and they just wanted to alert the enemy.

The store manager had a cold expression on his face: "Where are you from, kid? Don't you know the rules of the underworld? I've already promised to stop, don't ask any more questions, the people behind are not someone you can afford to mess with, leave quickly, otherwise..."

“I can’t afford to offend you? Who do you think you are…” Ah Fa stretched out his hand angrily, trying to push the shop owner, but someone pinched his arm meridians with his backhand, making him unable to move and crying out in pain.

Upon seeing this, Taoist Jingde also reached out to grab the store owner's hand. The two of them fought like they were in a movie, using Ah Fa's arm. In the end, Taoist Jingde was slightly better and defeated the store owner and rescued Ah Fa.

"Old man, don't argue with a child." Taoist Jingde said with a smile, "Children don't know much." Hearing the Mandarin, the owner snorted coldly, pulled down a rope next to the counter, and waved his hand and said in Cantonese, "From the mainland? You are not welcome here, go away! Otherwise, you will be in trouble! Do you know who is protecting this place?"

Ah Fa rubbed his hands and cursed, "Dui Lei mother, do you know who I'm hanging out with?"

"Who are you hanging out with? Scarface~" A nonchalant voice suddenly came from outside the store.

Ah Fa's face changed, as if he recognized the voice. He pulled the two Taoists and whispered, "Not good, let's leave quickly. This is the territory of another gang, and they have a grudge against our boss."

Having said that, he walked out with his head held high. The two Taoists looked at each other and followed Ah Fa out of the store.

In the alley, a few hooligans stood outside, holding iron bars and machetes. The bald leader shouted to Ah Fa, "I was wondering who it was. It turned out to be Scarface's younger brother. What was his name? Oh, Blind Eyed Fa, wasn't that right?"

Another thug laughed and said, "That must be right. Scarface is the only one around him who wears sunglasses every day and pretends to be a punk."

All the hooligans started laughing.

At this moment, there was a "swish" sound behind Ah Fa. He turned around and saw that the shutter door of the store was pulled down, isolating them outside.

"Tsk tsk tsk~ What is this? Young and Dangerous?" Qian Xiaoyi and Taoist Lingkong were watching this scene on the side. Qian Xiaoyi exclaimed: "It really feels like that."

Taoist Lingkong explained: "As I said before, Hong Kong would return to China in two years. People were panicking at the time, so the gangs on the streets were not stable. Some wanted to surrender and transform, while others wanted to take advantage of the chaos. It was the darkness before dawn, so the streets were still a bit chaotic at the time."

"Tietou! I didn't expect that the restaurant in front is actually run by you!" Ah Fa shouted unyieldingly, "Why? Are you standing here to treat us to a meal?"

He put his hands behind his back and gestured to Taoist Jingde and Taoist Lingkong, signaling them to leave quickly, but the two Taoists looked at each other and neither moved.

"Eat? If I invite you to eat shit, will you eat it?" The bald man spat, "How dare you come to my territory to cause trouble! Beat him! Make him crippled!"

A group of thugs came up with steel pipes and machetes. Ah Fa picked up a brick from the ground and turned back to shout, "Master, hurry up! I'll hold them back here!"

Then he rushed over, waving the brick around.

Two fists are no match for four hands, not to mention there are so many enemies at the scene. However, Ah Fa rushed forward without hesitation. He was ready to be beaten, but he didn't expect that someone would be faster than him!
Two figures rushed past him like the wind, and within half a minute, Ah Fa was stunned to see a group of people lying on the ground, rolling and wailing, while the two Taoists stood aside as if nothing had happened, with a calm look on their faces.

"Wow! 'Fist of Fury'? 'Once Upon a Time in China'?" Ah Fa opened his mouth wide.
