The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 539: Hong Kong Past (20)

Ah Fa didn't pause, but walked past Qian Xiaoyi and Ling Kong Taoist priest with an expressionless face, then sat back in his seat and continued watching the movie as if he hadn't seen anything.

But at this moment, the atmosphere around them was different. Even the characters and scenes in the movie had problems. They always stared at Ah Fa with resentful eyes halfway through the performance.

Ah Fa opened his mouth and yawned, looking very bored.

"Brother Zhang has really grown up." Qian Xiaoyi sighed, "That's right. After all, in just a few months, he encountered all kinds of supernatural events that a normal person would hardly encounter in his lifetime. Now, watching a ghost movie is child's play for him."

Taoist Lingkong nodded: "That's right, so Senior Brother Jingde and I have been arranging trials for him during this period of time, letting him enter various urban legends and strange Feng Shui locations to hone his skills."

Qian Xiaoyi squinted at him and said, "You are also recording various situations in the ghost realm, right? You are doing both experiments and research."

"We can't do anything about it." Taoist Lingkong said, "This is still the British territory, and it's still very troublesome for us to renew our visas, so we have to hurry up. Now the research on the ghost domain is almost done, so next, we discussed it and started the next topic... You can guess what it is."

Qian Xiaoyi said: "Since you have already thoroughly studied the naturally occurring ghost domains, then next, is it the turn of the man-made ghost domains?"

"You have also seen the notes I left behind, plus what Ah Fa told you, so you should be able to guess it." Taoist Lingkong said with a somewhat bored tone: "It is a man-made ghost domain. Since we already know the principle and structure of the urban legend of ghost domains, and Hong Kong is such a rare place with auspicious feng shui and a very rich cognitive atmosphere, so we want to try to see if we can create a new ghost domain through the spread of modern information..."

"Then how did you do it?" Qian Xiaoyi asked, "To do these things, there must be people in real life taking the lead, right?"

"We already have a candidate." Taoist Lingkong looked towards the center of the theater. Ah Fa's figure had already appeared on the movie screen, escaping from the ghosts in the movie in a fierce chase.

This is much better than the previous low-quality ghost movies. The two of them watched it with gusto while holding popcorn. In the end, Ah Fa found a Green Dragon Crescent Blade in the scene of the movie, and he killed everyone with great momentum and finally escaped from the ghost realm.

He opened his eyes and woke up from his seat. The movie had ended and it seemed like he had just fallen asleep. The cleaning staff came to him and urged him to leave quickly.

Ah Fa yawned, stood up listlessly, and left the cinema.

"Now it seems that his fate has been almost changed." Qian Xiaoyi said.

"That's right." Taoist Lingkong said, "We were right about him. After being tempered in the ghost realm, he has grown up and become brave and resourceful. He is no longer so reckless, and his intuition has become sharper. Moreover, the ferocity in his bones has not disappeared. As long as he thinks it is right, he will do it decisively. At this time, Ah Fa has gradually suppressed the perception of Guan Gong behind him and will not be affected by that perception in turn."

Qian Xiaoyi said: "So naturally, his life path became smoother afterwards. After all, talented people are scarce everywhere, even in these gangs."

A few days later, Taoist Jingde and Taoist Lingkong held a ritual for Ah Fa in front of Guan Erye, the God of Wealth, in the corridor of the rental house, which formally ended this "life-changing" journey. With the end of the ceremony, Ah Fa opened his eyes. The eyes behind the sunglasses were no longer confused and ignorant as before, but like a soldier who had fought for a long time, resolute and restrained. The surrounding scenes turned like a revolving lantern. Ah Fa was first introduced to the higher-level gang leaders through the recommendation of the boss Daobaji. Later, he made many contributions in the fights between several gangs and made great contributions to the gang. In addition, his character of not being arrogant or humble but not afraid of things, as well as his style of being loyal, soon made him stand out in the gang like a rising star.

One day, he came to the rental house with delicious food as usual, and complained to the two Taoists while drinking.

"Oh my god... these big guys might really want to run away~" Ah Fa sighed, "They've gone crazy, they dare to do any business, they all want to take advantage of this period of time to make enough money, and then go overseas to have fun... I was scared when I saw it, luckily I played dumb and messed up the business they gave me, and leaked the secret by the way, giving the police some credit, otherwise they would really force me to sell powder. I'm good at hacking people and grabbing territory, but I really don't want to do those things that hurt people, it will damage my virtue, and I have finally changed my fate..."

In front of others, he is a rising star in the society, so he pretends to be a decent person and thinks for a while before saying two words to avoid saying the wrong thing. But here, the starting point of his destiny change, Ah Fa is not so pretentious. He does not have the prestige of a big gang like the Red Stick, because the two people in front of him know his background, so he is too lazy to pretend and says whatever he wants to say, very relaxed.

"What? You're already a big shot, but you're actually complaining?" Taoist Lingkong said with a smile, "Isn't this what you wanted in the first place?"

Ah Fa waved his hands and said, "Ah~ Don't laugh at me. Now that I'm actually involved in the society, I can see clearly that everyone in it is stinking shit, scum, and social scum! Of course there are brothers who are loyal, but they are either fools who are sold out, or they will change their ways when faced with benefits... It's completely different from the movies!"

"Don't want to do this anymore?" Taoist Jingde asked tentatively, "You changed your fate with great difficulty and suppressed Guan Gong. You have a bright future in this career. Are you tired of it after just a short while?"

"Compared to the ghosts I encountered, the society is nothing!" Ah Fa snorted coldly: "I have finally let it go. In the end, all of us brothers were sold out. When we return next year, this road will not cause any trouble. No matter how powerful the society is, it can't beat the missiles."

"So what are your plans for the future?" Taoist Jingde asked, "Are you going to open a video parlor and stock up on pagers after you have enough money, as you said before?"

"That's going to have to wait until I have money. Anyway, those two things can definitely make a lot of money!" Speaking of this, Ah Fa suddenly became excited: "I heard from those big guys that a business delegation will come from Japan in a while. Many people in Hong Kong want to escape, so they want to liquidate their assets, and those people came here just because they smelled the scent. I want to take this opportunity to build a relationship and make some money. Maybe I can make back the money I put into opening the store~"

The two Taoists nodded without any reaction. After all, they didn't know how to do business and were not interested in these things.

Taoist Jingde was eating some snacks when he suddenly asked, "By the way, Ah Fa, we are very interested in a place with a unique Feng Shui location. You happen to be the one who is most familiar with the place, so can you spare some time to take us there?"

Hearing this, Ah Fa patted his chest and said, "It doesn't matter where you go. I'll ask someone to accompany you! Now that I'm rich, I definitely won't forget you! I'm willing to go through fire and water~"

"No, I want you to take us there in person." Taoist Jingde emphasized, "You are most familiar with that place."

"Where?" Ah Fa asked curiously.

Taoist Jingde said, "Kowloon Walled City."
