I'm telling fortunes in North America. I'm really not a wizard.

Chapter 72: Seal
For more than a week, Chen Yaozu had not been able to contact Zeng Hongbing, but he did see news about Florida and several surrounding states being devastated by the hurricane.

He guessed that the typhoon was too strong, which interrupted the communication, so he didn't take it seriously.

He has resumed his normal life in the past week or so and played two games, still advancing from the round of 16 to the quarterfinals, from the quarterfinals to the semifinals, and then to the finals.

After confirming their safety, Zeng Hongbing's brief romance has resumed normal life, and the child has also gone back to school, but he probably has some psychological trauma.

During this week or so, when he saw Mikhailov again, he finally understood why Mikhailov wanted to kill him after knowing that he had the ability to tell fortunes and could know other people's backgrounds through their faces!

Infernal Affairs!

Are you afraid of your identity being revealed?
However, he also knew why the other party didn't dare to kill him that day. At that time, he gritted his teeth and remembered a sentence in his heart. In the movie, Master Jia Qian once said to his junior fellow apprentice: "I will eat your secret for the rest of my life!"

So, when Antonio returned to South America and Cindy planned to stay, Chen Yaozu found Mihayev and asked his wife to help get a work visa for Cindy.

Mihayev was extremely conflicted at the time, thinking that if Chen Yaozu threatened him openly, he would feel relieved.

But Chen Yaozu bought a gift, found him, and used the politeness of an Oriental asking for help, and even paid 2 US dollars as a gift, asking his wife to help him get a work visa...

He wasn't sure whether this was a threat or the normal attitude of an Oriental person giving gifts to ask for favors.

But this matter!

He has no choice but to help. If he refuses, it would be just an Oriental habit of giving gifts to ask for favors, which is fine. But what if the other party is blackmailing you with secrets and will turn the table over if you don't agree?

Therefore, Mihayev, feeling insecure, had to hold his nose and go back to his wife to quickly get a work visa for her and also find a job for Cindy.

As for the Fuqing Gang, after Chen Yaozu finished his semi-final match, Red Stick A Yu waited outside the venue with the new leader Zhou Jiping and his wife.

There is no other way. There are people coming from the headquarters, secretly investigating what happened, and are ready to come to the hall to ask openly, why the change of hall master was not reported to the headquarters?

He chose his own leader without waiting for the headquarters to finalize the candidate. Does this mean he is planning a rebellion?

This made Red Stick A Yu, who had killed the boss with his own hands, feel like his neck was already on the gallows, waiting for someone from the headquarters to pull the gate under his feet, so that he would be pulled down by a rope tied with hundreds of pounds of stones and his neck would be torn off.

Including the new hall master Zhou Jiping, if something happened to him, he would not be much better off.

Therefore, when he received the task from Chen Yaozu to help him get a purple Taoist robe from the Longhu Mountain Tianshi, he immediately called home without saying a word.

I asked someone to go to Mount Longhu to donate some money, just to see the purple Taoist robe worn by the Taoist priest of Mount Longhu.

Then I took photos of all the details, returned to Changle, Fuqing, found the best garment factory, spent a lot of money, and made sure to make such a piece of clothing in the shortest time possible.

In order to get the purple Taoist robe as quickly as possible, A Yu asked someone at home to put a check of 20 US dollars in front of the factory director.

20 US dollars to make a piece of clothing is more expensive than the most high-end luxury clothes from Italy. If it requires design concepts, it may be very troublesome.

But if you just copy others and spend the money to get the best clothes as quickly as possible, $20 is enough.

Making the pattern and cutting are quite simple, but embroidery is a little bit more difficult, after all, there are many patterns on a Taoist robe.

But it was only difficult in ancient times. It is much easier now. Just input the program and pattern, and automated embroidery can be done very quickly.

There is also gold wire pressing, which is actually not that difficult.

Some people say that 996 is hell.

But some people also say that 996 with sufficient overtime pay is actually what many people dream of.

If the boss gives 10 US dollars as bonus and distributes it to all the positions that make this dress, the harder you work, the higher the bonus will be; the better you do, the higher the bonus will be; and the faster you finish, the higher the bonus will be.

Will you find?

What 996? Is that 996?
That is a blessing!

So, in just one week, Honggun Ayu got a purple Taoist robe worth more than 20 US dollars.

Perhaps, if it were not for the weight recognized by the Oriental Taoist Association, and apart from those purple robes passed down from generation to generation, this Taoist robe would basically be the most expensive purple Taoist robe to date.

After receiving the Taoist robe that was delivered directly by plane, A Yu took Zhou Jiping and his wife to the locker room of the stadium where Chen Yaozu was playing in the semi-finals.

He needs shelter, and so do Zhou Jiping and his wife.

Although he is now in control of the Los Angeles chapter, people's morale is still unsettled and the prestige of the headquarters is still unshakable.

Without Chen Yaozu's mysterious protection, his own fate would not have changed, and neither would Zhou Jiping's fate.

The reason why Zhou Jiping was brought here, and the couple was brought here, was to see if Chen Yaozu would give Zhou Jiping a favor.

At this time, Chen Yaozu happened to receive a call in the locker room, which was Zeng Hongbing's call for help.

Zeng Hongbing said on the phone that Florida, South Carolina, Georgia and three or four other states were all flattened by the strong typhoon. Many people were floating in the rivers and many people were hanging in the mountains.

Anyway, the local people were in mourning. Where the hurricane passed, the wooden houses were basically all flattened, except for those far away from the center of the storm, which did not suffer that great damage.

There is an urgent need for food, water, medicine, tents, and most importantly, garbage bags, thick garbage bags for people.

Because those people floating in the river and hanging on the trees need to be fished out and put into garbage bags and buried.

Chen Yaozu was a little confused: "Is it so serious? Why isn't there much coverage on the Internet?
I only knew there was a typhoon there, but I didn’t know it was so serious!”

Zeng Hongbing was very resentful on the phone: "I don't know either!

There was no signal and no electricity in the first few days.

The road was blocked and my car was flooded.

People from the Emergency Bureau blocked all entrances and exits. It was said that a rescue team had arrived outside, but they were stopped by the people from the Emergency Bureau and could not come in.

The victims had to spontaneously set up resettlement sites and get generators to generate electricity, so I had the opportunity to charge my phone and call you.

An old lady was very kind and pulled me into her cellar to hide from the tornado, but we couldn't hide from the flood that followed.

When I buried her, there was no coffin, not even a black plastic bag. I just found a dirty sheet to wrap her up, dug a hole and buried her.

Then they joined in the rescue of other people, but too many people died!
We are lacking everything now..."

Zeng Hongbing talked for a long time about what was missing. He actually knew in his heart that Chen Yaozu didn't have much money. All he had were the hundreds of thousands of US dollars he robbed from the Fuqing Gang.

Even if Chen Yaozu used hundreds of thousands of US dollars to buy supplies, he might not be able to deliver them.

Because the people from the Disaster Emergency Bureau did block all major entrances and exits.

A warning was also issued to all those who came to rescue spontaneously that rescue without approval is called illegal rescue and the person may be prosecuted and imprisoned.

Yes, illegal rescue!
So even if someone wants to bring something in, it's basically difficult.

But he subconsciously called Chen Yaozu to tell him all this, just to relax and release the pressure.

These days he helped with rescue operations, carried bodies, and searched for people trapped in the mountains and hanging on trees.

He is under a lot of psychological pressure!
After finally getting through to a fellow villager whom he subconsciously believed to be very powerful, of course he wanted to talk to him to his heart's content.

Chen Yaozu listened quietly in the locker room. He could tell that this man from Northeast China had encountered a disaster he had never encountered before and was about to collapse.

The psychological pressure this situation brought him was greater than owing more than 100 million yuan, because he had someone to rely on in his country, but not here.

A person who is used to having a reliable environment is always more likely to collapse than others when faced with such a large-scale natural disaster but has no one to rely on.

The disaster-stricken people in Florida and several other states did not feel disappointed because they had no expectations.

As for whether Chen Yaozu would come or not, he just mentioned it casually to talk and ease the pressure in his heart.

Unexpectedly, after listening silently, Chen Yaozu actually agreed: "Okay, I will find a way to get some of these things and send them over as much as I can, but I can't guarantee how much."

He came to America just to survive. If he could settle down and get an identity, he could survive.

But what happens after you survive?

What to do again?
He was sometimes confused.

When he got the temporary green card for marriage application, he was not confused. But Mihayev told him that after playing the game, his official green card might be issued faster.

There is no need to wait for two years, maybe only one year. A strong athlete like him who is invincible on the court can definitely apply for the talent introduction program.

He can guarantee it!
Now that his status was secure, he became confused about what to do in the future. Should he continue to be a high school teacher, and occasionally work part-time as a fortune teller using his half-baked skills and the two chances a day granted by the amulet?
Isn’t this a bit bland?
And now, after listening to Zeng Hongbing telling him about the various setbacks he encountered during the rescue operations in those places in Florida, he suddenly wanted to go.

So he agreed to Zeng Hongbing's request and said that he would bring the things over. At the moment he agreed, he heard the amulet's prompt.

[Benevolence is love for others, which is one of the four virtues of Taoism.]

Having a compassionate heart and doing compassionate things are the signs of great virtue.

Today, the master of the talisman has kindness and great goodness in his heart, and can gain insights into the art of deduction once more, which can help you to make further progress in your superficial art of deduction.

Another tip: Before setting off, worship the seal first!

Confucius traveled around the world and accepted seventy-two disciples and three thousand followers, so the cultural tradition has been passed down.

Now that you have taken the seal, if you do your best to help people, you will gain merit and solidify the Taoist lineage that has been sealed.

When worshipping the seal, it is best to have 49 disciples worship together. 】

Immediately afterwards, a stream of information about the art of deduction flooded into his mind, bringing him into a state of slight enlightenment.

But this epiphany lasted only a short time. He felt that he had gained something, but he also felt that he still had a lot to learn about the art of deduction.

While he was standing there in a daze, thinking and recalling, the old coach came over and said, "Chen, you are standing here in a daze after making a phone call. What happened?"

Chen Yaozu came back to his senses and responded, "My friend called me and said that Florida was hit hard by the disaster, with numerous casualties. I was a little confused as to why there was not much news on the Internet."

"Oh!"

The old coach was used to it: "It's normal, you said the affected states are red states, the bases of the big golden retriever.

The more serious the disaster is on his side, the better, because that way the votes of the big golden retriever will suffer a serious blow.

As for the online platforms, they are still under the control of the Supreme Leader, so of course not many messages will be released.

If you want to know the most authentic news, you can download TT, which is your Eastern platform and cannot be controlled by the Supreme Leader.

Moreover, even this platform will push information based on big data. California is a blue state, and people are more likely to gloat over the situation there, pay less attention to it, and push less information.

So it's normal that you don't know this news.

Well, you have a friend waiting outside, and he’s been waiting for a long time!”

A Yu and Zhou Jiping and his wife were waiting outside, watching the team members leave one by one. They didn't see Chen Yaozu and thought there was another back door, so they quickly stopped an old man and asked.

They only then realized that Chen Yaozu was making a phone call inside. The old man invited them into the locker room, but how dare they come in?
Just say wait at the door, very respectfully.

The old coach thought about it and decided to call them, then he came in and saw Chen Yaozu in a daze.

"Oh!"

Hearing that someone was waiting for him, Chen Yaozu quickly changed his clothes, picked up his bag and walked out of the locker room. Then he met Red Stick A Yu from the Fuqing Gang and the new Los Angeles leader Zhou Jiping. The couple knelt down in front of him.

The old coach who was following Chen Yaozu was stunned by this sudden change.

"Mr. Chen, the purple Taoist robe you requested is ready for you.

I guarantee that this is exactly the same style as the one worn by the Heavenly Master on Mount Longhu.

I wonder if Mr. Chen is satisfied?"

Honggun A Yu put his hands on the ground, raised his head and spoke loudly.

Behind him were Zhou Jiping, who was holding a folded Taoist robe high in his hands, and his wife.

"Please check, Mr. Chen!"

Very respectful, because A Yu had analyzed the pros and cons with him.

As the hall master, he even said that if the couple could not get the protection of Chen Yaozu, even though he was now the hall master and the entire Los Angeles hall had been cleansed by A Yu, he could barely be considered to have control.

But once the people from the headquarters come down, they can even overturn this control.

Because they have just taken over, people's morale is unsettled. If they are given a year to operate, they will be able to say they are not afraid of the headquarters.

But why would the headquarters give them a year to develop?
There has been no outbreak these days. After receiving the news, we sent people to investigate the situation quietly.

It should happen in the next one or two days.

By then, Honggun Ayu might face three cuts and six holes, and Zhou Jiping and his wife, as the new hall master, might not be much better off.

Therefore, their only chance of survival now is to find a strong man for protection, and this strong man is the extremely mysterious Chen Yaozu.

That's why they are so low-key now!

After all, this is their only chance to survive. Shouldn't they be respectful and hold on to this important opportunity firmly?
Chen Yaozu nodded, took the purple Taoist robe from Zhou Jiping, and unfolded it with a shake of his hand.

Zhou Jiping and his wife looked at each other, and understood each other's meaning very tacitly, so they stood up at the same time.

"Mr. Chen, let us help you try it on and see if it fits!"

Before Chen Yaozu had the time to refuse, Zhou Jiping and his wife took the Taoist robe and helped him put it on.

He had no choice but to put his hands into the sleeves and satisfy his desire to be served like a landlord.

The old coach was stunned by the sight of this scene. What was going on?
Who is this Chen?

He is old and has traveled all over the country for decades, so how could he not recognize that the purple robe draped on Chen Yaozu at this moment is a specific costume of an Eastern religion.

So, Chen, the rising star of American football, has another mysterious religious identity?

As soon as Chen Yaozu put on the purple Taoist robe, he received a reminder from the amulet: "When you wear the purple robe, you can worship the seal ancestor god. The mirror is in your heart, the seal is in your hand, and the disciple is the sword. When the three are combined into one, the world is open to all!
You can choose the hour of Mao, when the sun is rising and the purple air is coming from the east, to worship the seal and offer sacrifices to the Three Pure Ones, and you can open the 25th overseas jurisdiction of the Taoist sect. You will be the governor of Los Angeles and hold the seal."

Chen Yaozu was so happy that he couldn't help laughing out loud: "Good! Good! Good! Ah Yu, Master Zhou, Madam Zhou, thank you!
Get up! "

Zhou Jiping and his wife knelt behind Ah Yu again: "Zhou Jiping, please ask Mr. Chen for protection, we are at the critical moment of life and death.

Please, Mr. Chen, save us!"

Chen Yaozu glanced over and did not use the two chances a day granted by the amulet. However, with the crude deduction technique he had just learned, he could see that there were indeed looks of disaster on the two men's faces.

I immediately knew what was going on: "Someone from the Fuqing Gang headquarters is coming?"

Ah Yu nodded and said, "Yes, although we have cleaned up the Los Angeles gang, people are still unsettled and are not united yet.

So, please protect us, Mr. Chen.

Otherwise, the three of us will be doomed!"

Chen Yaozu calculated in his mind that accepting them seemed to be beneficial to him.

He also remembered that he needed forty-nine people to take the seal. Wouldn't it be easy for the Fuqing Gang to find forty-nine disciples?

So I agreed.

"Okay, I agree, let's get out of here first!"

Then he turned around, said goodbye to the old coach, and left with Zhou Jiping and the other three.

After they left, the old coach took out his cell phone and called Mihayev.

"Hey, Mr. Sergey, you know what I saw?

That Chen actually has another mysterious identity. He must be a big religious figure!"
