Chapter 355: The Great Supernatural Event: The Battle of the Fall of a Foreign Country (18)
While Jiang Kai was eating Sukala, he took out a Simbapur banknote beside him, pointed to the wizard on the note to the Wizard of Petawadai and asked: "Wizard of Petahuadai, I came here to talk about it this time to want to know the status of the wizard in Simpopwe, and then an in-depth interview: some tidbits and details of the wizard's landing on the Simbapur banknote."

Wizard Petawadai tasted the food in front of him, and didn't seem to be in a hurry to answer, and after chewing the food in his mouth, he wiped his mouth with a napkin, and asked slowly: "You are all Chairman Mao on the RMB, right?" ā
Jiang Kai nodded and said, "Yes." ā
"I remember that there were still heads of various ethnic minorities on the renminbi in the past, right?" The Wizard of Peta Wadai seemed to know the Chinese yuan very well, and Jiang Kai nodded a little surprised at such a question and said, "Hmm...... Yes, it seems that the Wizard of Petavadai knows a lot about world coins as well! Is it possible to be a member of the World Association of Numismatic Organizations? ā
Wizard Petavadai shook his head and said: "The title of a wizard makes me already emaciated, and it is absolutely impossible for me to join any other unrelated organization, I just want to ask Mr. Jiang Kai is: Do you print the avatar of a certain kind of person on the banknote, huh...... For example, if you have a five-yuan note with a steelworker on it (in this case, China's third renminbi), and you go to find out why the steelmaker has a banknote, you go to a random steelworker to interview, how do you think the steelworker will answer? ā
Jiang Kai was immediately speechless for such a rhetorical question. Wizard Petawadai laughed twice and said, "To paraphrase a famous Chinese saying, 'drunken and warm means not wine'. This time you came to me. It's not for the wizard on the banknote, is it? ā
Jiang Kai saw that Wizard Petavadai's words revealed his scheming. I felt quite embarrassed, so I could only eat Sukara in front of me constantly, and after eating three bites in a row, I swallowed the food and said helplessly: "It's still the Wizard of Petavadai who is powerful and can understand my intentions this time." To tell you the truth, I'm not here for anything else. I just want to know about your head-lowering technique! ā
Wizard Petawadai did not answer Jiang Kai directly, but looked at Jiang Kai for a while, and then asked, "Your real identity should not be a member of the World Numismatic Association, right?" ā
People have insight into the purpose of your visit, so why do you need to hide it in your profession? Jiang Kai nodded and said: "Indeed, I was said again, I am indeed not a member of the World Numismatic Association, just an ordinary psychological worker!" ā
"And who's the boss behind you?" Wizard Petavadai then asked:
"My boss behind the scenes?" Jiang Kai couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, could it be that Deputy Director Liu Yongfeng was confessed, this also seemed too much, right? After thinking about it, I think I should be calm. So he replied calmly: "I...... I don't have any behind-the-scenes bosses, do I? ā
After the Wizard of Petavadai ate the food in front of him, he left a twenty-dollar note and got up to leave. Seeing this, Jiang Kai hurriedly got up and stopped the Wizard of Petawadai, and asked cautiously, "Do you always want to go to the bathroom?" ā
"After the food is finished, there is nothing that can help you, so I pay for it myself and leave, what? Isn't twenty dollars enough? Wizard Petawadai looked at Jiang Kai and said:
When Jiang Kai heard that Wizard Petavadai was leaving, he hurriedly stopped Wizard Petawadai and asked, "Huh...... Isn't this not over yet? Counselor Wei told me that you can give me 90 minutes, how long is that? I still have a lot of questions for you, old man? ā
"Excuse me? Don't dare to be, maybe it's the cultural differences between China and Singapore, in our country, you have to ask one side, the premise is that you have to be honest, you yourself are deceiving, so how can you expect others to teach you and guide you? "The Wizard of Petavadai said in a matter-of-fact manner:
As soon as Jiang Kai heard this, he understood that in front of this wizard today, he had to be honest first, and he was not honest here, so don't expect others to help you? Jiang Kai hurriedly pulled Wizard Petawadai back into his seat, and then said in a very apologetic tone: "I'm really sorry, to be honest, this time I was indeed entrusted by a high-ranking and powerful figure to come here with a mission!" It's not that I don't want to confess to you, but there are some secrets that are inconvenient to talk to you! ā
After Wizard Peta Wadai re-seated, he heard Jiang Kai's answer, nodded slightly and said: "These few words of yours are to the point, if there is no one to instruct you, just rely on you, an ordinary psychological worker, dare to risk your life to go here, just do a wizard's investigation?" Whoever you say it to, no one will believe it? Moreover, you don't have to do it yourself, and you can ask about this so-called visit clearly and clearly with an international long distance. You're here, the interview is just one of the contents, you must have more important things to do, right? Jiang Kai saw that this Petawadai wizard was worthy of being born as a wizard, and all the guesses and judgments were hit, which made Jiang Kai not dare to deceive, but said honestly: "Yes, what you always said is right, the most important thing for me to come this time is to find a person, she was beheaded, this person is very important to us, so, before saving him, I want to know some relevant information about the head!" ā
Wizard Petawadai called the waiter again, asked for a cup of Sri Lankan black tea, and after waiting for the black tea to come up, while tasting the tea, he said: "Lowering the head is a branch of Gu art, and it is a relatively evil one. How so? Take your Mr. Jiang Kai as an example, I want to lower your head, first of all, I have to collect some things on your body, the most important thing is hair and nails, only after collecting these two things, I can lower your head on it, and the effect of lowering your head will generally be reflected in making people lose their memory, lose their minds, and lose their feelings...... Anyway, even if a person is manipulated by this wizard, the wizard can do whatever he wants? The only way to undo this trick is to burn the hair and nails that have been lowered. That's it. Only those who have been subjected to the technique of lowering their heads can return to normal. ā
What Wizard Petavadai said was much as Professor Ashframe had expected. Jiang Kai nodded, and then asked, "As far as an outsider is concerned, this head-lowering technique is very practical, how can it be disdained by you wizards?" ā
After taking another sip of Sri Lankan black tea, Wizard Petavadai replied, "It takes the blood of the wizard to do it." Wizard bloodshed is relatively taboo in our wizarding world, and the fighting methods that wizards and wizards only see rely on their own solid blood, so if you give someone a head reduction, your mana will be reduced by one point accordingly. We shamans make a living by divination, such as killing chickens and eggs. Of course we don't give a damn! ā
"That'...... Can I understand that ordinary wizards are reluctant to do this kind of thing, and they really have to do this desperate thing? Jiang Kai asked:
Wizard Petavadai thought for a moment and replied, "You're half right and half wrong!" As you said, the technique of lowering the head is usually done when it is extremely critical and the last resort. But not all wizards have the ability to lower their heads! Normally, you need a senior wizard to do it! ā
"A wizard of the senior level?" Jiang Kai was taken aback and said, "It's those wizard officials? ā
"Yo...... Mr. Jiang Kai, you know my country's national conditions quite well! Indeed, as you said, if our wizards here want to become officials, they must be senior wizards. Once this kind of wizard becomes an official, he will basically gain fame and fortune, and he will be crowned with a wife and a son! "Wizard Petavadai said:
"Wizard of Petavadai. Let me ask you a question that shouldn't be asked: why aren't you a senior wizard with such qualifications? Jiang Kai wondered:
Wizard Petavadai smiled heartily. Then he picked up the kettle next to the table, refilled his teacup with a little water, and said, "Not all wizards like to be officials!" Mr. Jiang Kai, let me tell you this: in my concept, wizards are a divination industry, helping people understand the future, guiding the maze, this is our own job, if we have to let the wizard become an official, I personally think it is inappropriate, as far as the wizard's political talent, what can lead something? The reason why Simpopwe is like this today is obviously very related to the wizard's political career. These wizards became officials, all of them greedy for comfort, and turned the whole society into a miasma, and in addition to being heartbroken, it is better to start from me quietly, stay away from officialdom, and do my job well! ā
Jiang Kai listened and nodded, feeling that the mood and artistic conception of this Petavadai wizard were indeed superior, at least much more reliable than the five wizard officials he met last night. Seeing that Jiang Kai had nothing to say for a while, Wizard Petavadai took the initiative to ask, "Do you have any other questions that I need to answer?" ā
Jiang Kai looked at the Potawadai Wizard, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "I don't know how much the Petawadai Wizard charges for divination?" ā
Wizard Petawadai stretched out five fingers and said: "5000 Simbapur (Editor's note: At that time, because of the political turmoil in Simpopwe, the official did not disclose the corresponding economic data, so in terms of exchange rates, the horizontal comparison method has been applied, what does it mean?) For example, if a gram of gold sells for 10,000 Simbapur in Simpopwe, and a gram of gold sells for $50 in the United States, then it can be considered as 10,000 Simbapur for $50. However, due to the priceless gold price announced by Simpopwe at that time, many people wanted to use the currency in their hands to buy gold as a reserve to resist inflation, but no one was willing to sell the gold price announced by the state, which made such an exchange rate very embarrassing, in 2005, the gold price announced by Simpopwe was 12,000 Simbapur per gram, but in fact, the black market price had long been speculated to 270,000 Simbapur per gram, which was more than 20 times the national purchase price. In 2005, the price of gold in China was about 350 yuan per gram, which can basically be understood as 350 yuan is equivalent to 270,000 Simbapur, and the 5,000 Simbapur offered by the Potawadai wizard is almost equal to more than 6 yuan, which is really not expensive. ļ¼ć ā
Jiang Kai had a little calculation in his heart, and had to secretly admire Wizard Petawadai, "No wonder people are so busy, dare to love this fair price!" In fact, Jiang Kai once asked the Wu brothers and Counselor Wei Minxin in private. How much does it cost to ask a more ordinary wizard to do a divination here? The Wu brothers and Counselor Wei Minxin gave almost the same price: $20. This price is just the price of divination by ordinary wizards. Compare to the Wizard of Petawadai. It's really a difference. Jiang Kai respectfully took out two hundred yuan, handed it to the Wizard of Peta Wadai and said, "There is Wizard Lau Potavadai to help me divinate a hexagram!" ā
"Divination?" Wizard Petawadai looked at the two hundred yuan that Jiang Kai handed over and confirmed:
Jiang Kai nodded and said, "Well, it's just a hexagram!" ā
Wizard Petavadai shook his head and said, "That's a lot, I don't have so much change with me!" ā
Jiang Kai smiled slightly and said: "It's all hexagram gold, don't look for it!" ā
Wizard Petawadai hesitated for a moment, then returned a hundred to Jiang Kai. said: "That's fine, but this one is enough!" What are you going to divination? Just ask! ā
"I'm going to tell you about my coming to Gramon this time, will things go well?" Jiang Kai asked:
"It didn't go well." Wizard Peta Wadai directly handed back the remaining one hundred to Jiang Kai and said, "This is not a fortune count, and the hexagram money will not be accepted!" ā
"Huh?" Jiang Kai didn't accept the money handed back by the Wizard of Petawadai, and asked inexplicably: "Master, you haven't divined yet?" How can you say with such certainty that I'm not going well? ā
Wizard Petavadai shook his head slightly and said, "If it goes well, you can still come to me to tell the fortune?" Are you kidding me? Could it be that I misunderstood the meaning of smoothness? ā
Jiang Kai looked at Potawadai Wizard and finally understood what Petavadai meant: there was a disagreement on the word "smooth". How to explain it? It is necessary for the author to explain here some "techniques" about fortune telling and divination. When some people are telling fortunes, they often ask fortune tellers questions like, "Will I get rich?" "Can I live a long life? "Can I get a higher position"...... In the face of such a problem, if the fortune teller can still be "pinching your fingers" with you. I advise you to leave: because most of this fortune teller is a charlatan, and he doesn't have the ability to tell fortunes. Why? Because wealth and longevity are a general concept. Zhang San thinks: A few million is considered to be rich, and living to 80 is considered longevity! But Li Si believes that it takes tens of millions to be considered rich. A person must live to 90 to live a long life. Whether it is wealth or longevity, it is all different from person to person, and the standards are different. The fortune teller doesn't know the specific concept of your wealth and longevity, so he will help you pinch your fingers in a serious way, so can the results of this calculation be reliable? It's not reliable. Then again: Jiang Kai asked Wizard Petavadai: Will what you do go smoothly this time? What is the concept of this smoothness? Maybe Jiang Kai thinks that it will be smooth to get home safely after the work is completed, but the Wizard of Petavadai thinks: The process of doing this thing is full of twists and turns, and this is not smooth, and there is a great ambiguity in the understanding of smoothness, so Wizard Petawadai will ask Jiang Kai such a sentence, "Is it difficult that I understand the meaning of smooth?" This is true divination, Jiang Kai was reminded by the Wizard of Peta Wadai, so he hurriedly changed his question: "Can I finish this and return home safely?" ā
This question is relatively reliable, and the Wizard of Petavadai nodded and said, "I have to help you with this divination!" Jiang Kai saw that the Wizard of Petawadai finally agreed, and hurriedly handed back the money that had been handed back. I thought in my heart: The difficulty of this hexagram is not small! Because there is a double meaning in it, it is not just as simple as pointing to Yuan Yanyao to remove the head reduction, but the most important thing is: whether Peng Puyi can safely embark on the journey back is directly related to his own human and ghost transactions.
Fortune-telling, many countries, especially those influenced by Confucian culture, have traces of fortune-telling, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Simpopwe...... However, with the different cultures of different countries, the way of divination is not the same, and in China, there are usually eight characters, word measurement, and coin turtle shells...... But in Simpopwe, it was not like this, I saw that the Wizard of Petawadai took out a small bag of things, opened the bag, and then sprinkled the contents on the countertop, Jiang Kai looked at it, wow...... All of them are crystal clear, the size of a grain of rice, like diamonds, and they are very dazzling. Wizard Petawadai asked Jiang Kai to stretch out his right hand and press his entire palm on top of the pile, and then reminded: "Mr. Jiang Kai, press hard, press as hard as you can!" In order to have the effect of "exerting force", Jiang Kai couldn't help but stand up from the chair, condescendingly, clasped his left hand on his right hand, assisted his right hand to exert force together, and pressed down desperately, several times in a row, Wizard Petavadai nodded and said, "It's okay, raise your hand!" ā
Jiang Kai sat back on the chair and raised his right hand, only to see that part of the diamond like a grain of rice was stuck to Jiang Kai's right palm...... (To be continued.) )
