Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 65

Ma Yi'ao said calmly with usual reserve on his face, "You're welcome, it's just a little effort."

Husband Li Jun stepped forward and preached to us, saying, Dad, Mr. Liu and Mr. Hou really turned the tide this time. If they weren't there, you and your elder brother would be in danger this time. Unexpectedly, Ah Ren usually doesn't show up It's really too much for someone who is not exposed to do such a thing...

Ma Yi'ao was recommended by his wife Li Jun, and he made a great contribution to this matter. Now that Uncle Jiu woke up, he couldn't help but express his credit.

However, Uncle Jiu had just recovered from a serious illness, his head was hurting, and he heard such a sad news, obviously he was impatient to listen to him, his face darkened, and he directly reprimanded: "What is it, Ren? He is your second brother, Did you know?"

Husband Li Jun didn't expect that his father would still protect Wang Liren at this time, so he couldn't help being taken aback, and subconsciously argued: "Dad, you don't know..."

Before he finished speaking, the old man stared and said, "Go out."

Li Jun's husband didn't expect his father to be like this, he was stunned for a moment, dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't move, and he left just now under Li Jun's pull.

Uncle Jiu said to us with a tired face: "The kindness of saving your life, I will never forget it. When I rest, I will thank you again; I will trouble you today, A Fu, you take the two of you to the other courtyard of the mansion." Stay here, and after I finish handling the family affairs, I will hold a banquet and thank these two masters."

He had already talked about this, and Ma Yi'ao and I couldn't afford to beg for money as soon as he woke up and was in a state of desperation, so we left the ward with Uncle Fu.

Uncle Fu led us to live in a villa near the hospital.

There are housekeepers and cooks here. Sitting on the grandstand on the second floor and looking down the mountain, they can see the dazzling Victoria Bay. Looking at the scenery outside the window, I said: "Unexpectedly, at noon, we were still squatting outside the tea restaurant, watching the stalls with people coming and going, swallowing our mouths, and we had no money, but now we are lying in the most expensive land on Hong Kong Island. Looking at the scenery in the villa in the middle of the mountain—tell me, isn’t life very strange?”

Ma Yi'ao stretched his waist and said, "What's the point of this? In our industry, we suffer from hunger and cold for a while, and prosperity and wealth for a while. It's just passing by."

I licked my lips and said, "Speaking of which, the geoduck sashimi just now was sweet and delicious. Can you ask them to prepare some more tomorrow? As for the fried crab, it's a bit greasy. The ingredients of the crab are good, but the cooking technique is so-so, it’s better for me to make it..."

Hearing my gossip, Ma Yi'ao laughed, and then said: "Tomorrow probably won't work, we have to go to Chongqing Mansion at noon, we have an appointment with that boy Yuchijing, have you forgotten?"

I just recalled it and said oh, yes.

After finishing speaking, I remembered one thing, saying that the food and drink here is good, but when will the money be given to us?
Ma Yi'ao shook his head, saying that he didn't know, he got the invitation letter for the auction tomorrow, got the admission ticket, and asked about it then.

I remembered one more thing, is the Raptor Nightcrawler I met today very powerful?When it came in, I felt that the whole space was suffocated. If it was more thoughtful about separation, we might not be able to escape, right?

Ma Yi'ao said no, you still haven't figured out why people with the blood of the monster race call themselves "night crawlers"?

what?
Suddenly hearing Ma Yi'ao bring up such a topic, I couldn't help being taken aback, thought about it, and asked why?
Ma Yi'ao said, "The principle of yin and yang is infinitely changing and cannot be fully described. Let me give you the essentials. When talking about yin and yang, it refers to heaven and earth, qi and blood, or the universe. The body of this treatment is actually yang. It is yin, the sky covers the earth, and blood follows qi, so the sage makes changes"—this is the ancient theory of yin and yang, and orthodoxy is yang, and divergent paths are yin. Yin belongs to the worship of moonlight, but the energy and blood under the sunshine are insufficient.This difference, the lower the level, the more imperceptible it is, and the more it reaches the top, the more obvious it is.

I said so that's where Nightcrawler comes from?

Ma Yi'ao nodded, and said yes, that guy didn't want to be entangled, that's one; the other is Hong Kong Island, where hundreds of people gather, and I don't know how many heroes are stationed here. The demonic aura is overflowing, there must be a big boss paying attention, if you don't leave quickly, I'm afraid there will be local snakes guarding the island.At that time, even if he wanted to leave, he might not be able to leave.

I couldn't help laughing, why haven't I seen Shoudao's local snake?
Ma Yi'ao stared at me and said you haven't seen it?Did you forget who we worshiped yesterday?

I was surprised and said that Master Wu Yingli was the island guard?
Ma Yi'ao said yes, he is, but he is just one of them, and these people are not all kind-hearted. Hong Kong Island can maintain the current order, and the dark places that people can't see have their own forces competing. And anyone who wants to get in here will probably have to be counterattacked by these people.

I took a deep breath, sighed, and said that the rivers and lakes are really complicated.

Ma Yi'ao smiled, took out the copper ball from his pocket, shook it, and said that the way to balance lies in the game.

I watched him play around and said, how on earth can you put such a big spider in it?That poisonous spider is as big as a washbasin...

He shook it, and then said: "This thing is called the Demon Refining Ball, which was passed down from my master. Besides the special material, it is said that there are many secret forging methods in it - the Wudang Sword Fairy Li Jinglin's back then. Junior brother, master craftsman Wen Bolong got a volume of "Mo Shi Chunqiu" from the tomb of the Song Dynasty, and made many demon refining balls according to the ancient method. I am just an ordinary product, which can only hold ordinary foreign objects. It is said that the top-level demon refining ball can even directly put a big monster like Ba Xia into it..."

I am a little puzzled, what is a foreign body?

Ma Yi'ao rubbed his chin, what should I say, take this poisonous spider for example, it is not naturally golden, and its body is not so huge, its appearance is artificially refined.This kind of unnatural thing can be called foreign body.

He also said: "The material of the refining ball has a natural attraction to this kind of thing, but if it is an ordinary thing, let alone such a big thing, even a rabbit or a mouse may not be able to fit in it... "

I said this thing is really amazing.

Ma Yi'ao agreed, saying that I have been trying to study everything I have seen from a scientific point of view over the years, but the end of science is theology. It is because we know too little that we have formed since the Renaissance The body of scientific knowledge has yet to fully explain what happens to us...

The two of them were chatting, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and they fell asleep without knowing it, and went back to their rooms to rest, and nothing happened all night.

The next morning, after we woke up, breakfast was ready. After we had breakfast, Uncle Fu rushed over and told us that we had to wait for a few days because there were too many funds and it would be troublesome to raise them.

After saying this, he gave us another 5 yuan, saying that it was our expenses for the past few days.

If you run out, you can ask him again.

Ma Yi'ao was a little surprised. After asking a few more questions, he realized that although Uncle Jiu had several good properties under his name, he didn't have much liquidity on hand due to the impact of the financial turmoil last year.

Whether it is to withdraw money from the stock market or the finances of listed companies, it will take some procedures and time. I hope we can understand this.

Hearing the other party's sincere words, Ma Yi'ao and I stopped talking and said there was no problem.

Uncle Fu left, but arranged for us a car, a Toyota Crown, which was enough for us. After tidying up a bit, we left by car and headed to Chungking Mansions on Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui.

Chungking Mansions is a building in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. It is nearly 40 years old and consists of five buildings with nearly 4000 residents.

The reason why I made an appointment here is probably that it is famous enough, at least I, who have never been to Hong Kong Island, know that, after all, this place was mentioned in the movie "Chongqing Express" by Wong Kar-wai a few years ago.

But different from the movie, the place is actually quite chaotic, and there are foreigners from India and Pakistan who come and go.

And the way they looked at us was not very friendly, which made me very nervous.

Fortunately, Huang Mao Yuchi did not miss the appointment. At noon, he sent someone to meet with us, and handed the invitation letter of the auction to us.

With the admission ticket, we can participate in the auction and get the things after Uncle Jiu pays the salary.

Thinking of this, both Ma Yi'ao and I breathed a sigh of relief.

After days of running around, finally there is a result.

Of course, Huang Maoyuchi said so much about credibility, we naturally reciprocated, Ma Yi'ao found a place to call Lao Wai, and asked his younger brother Ah Shui to release the two of them.

After finishing these things, we returned to the Wang family's half-mountain villa and stayed for several days. I remembered the situation when I met the raptor night crawler that day, and I felt more and more weak. Whenever I had free time, I would pester Ma Ao and ask him for advice. Various problems encountered in practice.

Ma Yi'ao is also looking forward to my growth. He knows everything and has endless words, and has given me great support.

In the past few days, I have gained quite a lot, I am obsessed with cultivation, and my heart is satisfied. Until the day before the auction, Ma Yi'ao suddenly said to me: "Hou Zi, something may not be right."

I was taken aback, what is wrong?

Ma Yi'ao asked me, saying that we have been here for several days, have you met Uncle Jiu, or someone who came to see us to discuss the matter of remuneration?

I thought about it for a while, only to realize that not to mention Uncle Jiu, even his eldest son has not shown up in the past few days. Li Jun and her husband have visited once, but they have no right to speak at home. As for Uncle Fu, in my impression, although he shows up every day, every time Ma Yi'ao asked about it, he said that he was working on it and waiting for news.

And in the past two days, he didn't appear again, so that there was no one else in the room except for two Filipino maids who didn't know anything.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but take a deep breath, saying that Uncle Jiu's family is rich and powerful, so it shouldn't happen, he's going to renege on his debt, right?
