Chapter 216: The Old Foreigner of Xiaojing Mountain

On the surface, Locke and I made an agreement that we would go to the puppet town together to join in the fun, and if we could fish in troubled waters, we would fish in troubled waters. If you can't, eat and drink at Smith's house.

Anyway, Mr. Smith is not short of money, there is no merit, and there is always hard work.

But this is only an agreement on the surface, and only God knows what is going on in the other party's mind behind the scenes.

When we had agreed, neither of us spoke, but lay down in our chairs with our eyes closed. At noon, the private jet landed in London, the general manager took the client to run errands, and we took advantage of this time to have a simple meal.

As we don't have a UK visa, we can't get around, so we can only grab a bite to eat at any random shop around the airport.

Fortunately, the general manager was a nice person, and after seeing off the client, he took us on a private jet and started flying to Ottawa.

At this time, I realized that the general manager was afraid that he sent me to Ottawa, right? But why didn't he talk to me? Don't even look at me?

I thought about it, but I didn't know what was going on. But I rightfully put the blame on Colonel Diming. After all, Colonel Di Ming has great power in China, and it should be a piece of cake to ask the general manager of a commercial company to make a special trip to see me off.

And the other party didn't talk to me, or even meet me, it was probably specially ordered by Colonel Di Ming. If the general manager wants Colonel Di Ming to owe this favor, he will definitely abide by it firmly and dare not disobey it in the slightest.

Anyway, he took a fancy to Colonel Di Ming, and as for who I was and where I was going, it had nothing to do with him, and he didn't dare to ask.

The exorcist thing, it's better not to contact ordinary commercial companies.

After thinking about this, I felt a lot more relaxed. So much so that I didn't bother to take care of that high-spirited young man. Speaking of which, the young man didn't understand anything, didn't know anything, and he was angry with someone like him for no reason.

I'm an exorcist, your general manager doesn't dare to talk to me, what are you doing as a little grasshopper?

The journey was uneventful, and we soon arrived at McDonald-Cartier International Airport. This is the largest airport in Ottawa by floor area and the airport with the highest passenger traffic.

When you get to this place, it's basically Locke's territory. He showed me my ID, acted as a translator, booked me a taxi, contacted the Smith family, and was busy.

In contrast, I was very relaxed. Just nodded at the general manager from afar when he left the private jet, and when I nodded, the general manager happened to be looking at me, and then he smiled at me and turned back to the cabin.

I don't know what the name of this general manager is, but from Urumqi to Ottawa, I almost crossed half the world along the way, and he actually sent such a long distance.

Even with the favor of Colonel Diming, this is an extremely hard job. If you have the opportunity to meet him in the future, you must thank him.

While he was thinking about it, Locke hurried over with his papers. His face was full of joy and said, "Big brother, do you want to get jet lag?" ”

I shook my head: "It's not uncommon for exorcists to reverse yin and yang, and jet lag doesn't exist for us. ”

Locke smiled: "That's right! But we're lucky, the Smith family's driver is just outside the airport, they are specially here to pick up the exorcist, as long as it is an exorcist, no matter who it is, you can pick it up by car. ”

I raised my eyebrows slightly and said, "Drive to the puppet town?" ”

Locke shook his head: "No, drive to the Smith family's manor, and then take a helicopter over together!" This time, Mr. Smith made a cruel statement, everyone will go to work together, as long as the matter can be solved, the merit will be rewarded! I won't treat you badly! ”

The Smith family is an old family in Canada, and there was a decline in the sixties of the last century. But this kind of century-old family, the family heritage is very deep, even if it declined for a while, it won't take long to rise again.

Especially this generation of Mr. Smith is also a masterpiece, he invests in whatever industry makes money in Canada, and his hand cramps to make money, and it is said that he has a place on the Forbes rich list.

In order to solve the problem of the puppet town, Mr. Smith also made a bloody investment. He has a luxury fleet outside the international airport that is dedicated to picking up and dropping off exorcists.

As long as you are rushing to the puppet town, you can ride for free.

Although Locke didn't have much skills, he was also the number one person in the local area, so it was easy to contact Mr. Smith's luxury car, and then take me to the car and go straight to Smith's estate.

Mr. Smith's estate is on the east side of Ottawa, and all the way to it is a wide and clean asphalt road. It is said that the road was built by the Smith family to lead to the Smith Manor.

This road can be considered the property of the Smith family, as long as it is the Smith family's convoy, it has the right of way.

We were in a comfortable Lincoln van, a modified car with a spacious interior with only four luxurious leather seats, a small wine cabinet next to the seats, and a variety of wine glasses.

Locke was a thick-skinned man, and when he came in, he unceremoniously opened a bottle of red wine, and then poured it into a glass and tasted it carefully.

While tasting him, he said to me, "Brother Zhang, do you want to have some?" ”

I shook my head and said, "I don't drink." ”

Although drinking alcohol can increase the yang energy in the living, it can also make people's brains slow down. The work of an exorcist is all about putting his head on the waistband of his trousers, and no one will drink alcohol unless he has to.

Locke would also know this rule, so he no longer persuaded me, but said while drinking: "Brother Zhang, it's up to you whether we can make money this time." You must remember that we are here to fish in troubled waters, not to play with our lives, although money is important, but our lives are more important! ”

I said, "I speak very poorly. ”

Locke said without hesitation: "Don't worry, the exorcists are very good at Chinese!" ”

That's true! Don't look at the current international lingua franca is English, but in exorcism circles, Chinese is the most widely used language.

For a long time, exorcists around the world have all taken China as the birthplace of exorcists, and Chinese exorcists are famous for their mystery and power.

Even the unruly holy knights and proud scientists admit that China's exorcists are the most powerful. Even some ancient mantras and incantations are inextricably linked to the Chinese language.

It's understandable that many exorcists don't know English, but if they don't know Chinese, they will definitely be laughed at. If you don't know Chinese, you won't be able to get in touch with the most profound exorcism! You'll be stuck in the middle and lower classes forever!

Chinese is so important to exorcists that even if there are no Chinese present, if the two sides do not understand the language, they will talk in Chinese.

This has basically become an international practice.

I didn't ask anymore when I understood this, listening to Locke's chattering nonsense, but my eyes looked at the shadows flying backwards outside, and I didn't know what kind of existence the sword-wielder in the Valley of the Severed Head was.

Before you know it, the luxury Lincoln has driven out of the city and along the asphalt road. The scenery outside changed from a modern building of reinforced concrete to a neatly manicured flower and tree, and it was then that I realized that this was probably the interior of Smith Manor.

The limousine was parked in a fixed parking lot only after passing through two iron gates. A well-dressed old man saw us get out of the car, bowed respectfully, and said, "Welcome to Smith Manor, two distinguished guests." ”

His Chinese is very standard, and his tone is very polite, but I don't know how, I always feel that this person exudes a very dangerous aura.

This aura is very inconspicuous, and even flashes away, making me wonder if I have too much heart, or if this old man really has a problem?

But looking at the other party's skinny and gray hair, he shouldn't look like a dangerous person.

I guess I just feel wrong, right?

In this case, Locke was much more tactful than me, and he said loudly, "You're welcome Steward Smith, I'm a ghost merchant from Ottawa, and this is an exorcist from China, Mr. Zhang!" ”

Mr. Smith's gaze paused on me for a moment, and he said, "Smith Manor welcomes distinguished guests from China, please!" ”

I nodded to him and said, "You're welcome, old man, we're here to get rid of the ghosts in the puppet town......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard someone next to him sneer: "Chinese? You incompetent exorcists, and you dare to say that you want to rid the puppet town of ghosts? I think they're here to cheat money! ”

I turned my head sharply and saw a strong man with a big beard just stepping out of another van, looking at me with disdain in his eyes.

In the face of such self-righteous things, I have always been unaccustomed to them, and immediately sneered: "What are you? Dare to question me? ”

The man said proudly: "The old foreigner of Xiaojing Mountain! Steward Smith, are you sure you want to let these incompetent exorcists into the puppet town? I'm telling you, they're going to die! ”

It turns out that he is an old foreigner from Xiaojing Mountain? That self-righteous Yankee?

The old foreigner is not a Canadian citizen, and Xiao Jingshan is not in Canada, but in the United States. The old foreigner is the best exorcist in Minnesota, and was once invited to the headquarters by scientists from the Paranormal Research and Defense Agency.

According to the grapevine, the Supernatural Research and Defense Agency intended to accept him as a scientist specializing in the study of the way of yin and yang, but the old foreigner naturally likes freedom, so he refused without hesitation.
