Chapter 252: Straight Attack on Shanghai
The historian next to me, after listening to my cousin's words, couldn't help but admire him, and I noticed that when I was listening to it just now, he couldn't help nodding his head.
"Mr. Wang is really knowledgeable and strategic, and today is also a kind of unexpected gain for me - because, since my friends were killed in the valley, I have had nightmares almost every night, and it is difficult for outsiders to imagine the various pressures I am under: on the one hand, the official still does not believe what I say, which makes me very depressed, very aggrieved, and a little helpless; On the other hand, I couldn't understand the strange deaths of my friends, and I really couldn't understand what kind of terrible monsters were that killed them, which made me feel both frightened and bitter, and I was very confused, I really didn't know what to do next.
But what I didn't expect is that I was lucky to meet a few of you today, solved the mystery in my heart, and let me see the hope of revenge, Mr. Wang, what you just said is very reasonable, I am a native of Shanghai, since I want to go to Shanghai to find that Taoist priest, of course I am duty-bound, and I also hope to help, everyone works together to kill that demonic blind man."
The historian excitedly asked for help.
My cousin smiled and nodded, and said, "Well, you're right, as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to defeat the blind man in the end, since you live in Shanghai, if you participate in our next move, then we have the advantages of time, place, and people, which will help us a lot, because our top priority is to find that Taoist priest."
At this time, Xiao Lei frowned and asked his cousin: "But Shanghai is too big, and in addition to the age, it is not easy to find that mysterious Taoist priest, even with the participation of this history professor, is it still very difficult?" Looking for a needle in a haystack."
When Xiao Lei said this, it also expressed our doubts, yes, even if the Taoist priest is not dead, but in the vast Shanghai, how easy is it to find such a character?
After listening to Xiao Lei's question, my cousin smiled faintly, as if he was confident, we didn't speak, we looked at him blankly, wondering what he had to do.
The cousin glanced at the historian, seemed to be full of confidence, and said with a smile: "Actually, it is not as difficult to find that Taoist priest as you say, because there is a very important clue in that Taoist priest."
Clue? What clues will there be?
The cousin paused, and then continued: "Don't forget, the experience of that Taoist priest is very special - all the skin on his body has fallen off, and then he came to the United States and used a special method to make the Taoist priest's skin grow again, because of this special experience, some characteristics of his body are also very different from ordinary people. So what is the significant difference between him and ordinary people?
The biggest difference is that this newly grown skin will be very pink, it can be said that it is white and red, and the complexion is very good, but this skin has a characteristic, that is, the ability to perspire and regulate the temperature is super strong, and this skin will produce a special smell, even in summer, naked in the wild, mosquitoes will not bite.
Therefore, according to the characteristics of these skins, we can infer some peculiarities about the Taoist priest who was different from ordinary people—although this man was already old, he still had crane hair and a childish complexion, and had very few wrinkles; Coupled with the fact that his skin has a strong ability to regulate body temperature, then he changes very little throughout the year, even if the temperature outside varies greatly, and the thickness of his clothing changes very little compared to ordinary people; And this man is not afraid of mosquito bites;
Combining these extremely unusual characteristics, therefore, no matter where this kind of person is, he will attract the attention of others, although it may not be well known, but at least it will be famous. ”
As soon as the cousin's words fell, the historian got up from his chair excitedly and said loudly: "Found it, found it, Mr. Wang is really amazing, even more powerful than Sherlock Holmes, as soon as you say this, I immediately think of a person, that person completely meets the characteristics that Mr. Wang said, it is wonderful."
Hearing the historian say that, all of us get excited. hurriedly asked about the ins and outs of the matter. It took some telling from historians that we knew what was going on.
It turned out that the characteristics that my cousin had just said made historians immediately think of a person. In fact, that person is a capitalist in Shanghai, in the old society, the family was very rich, I heard, that person is good at medicine and feng shui, and is relying on these to make a fortune, before the liberation, the financial resources are very strong, has opened several hospitals.
But that's not the most fantastic. The most amazing thing is that people say that this person's health skills are very good, and no one knows his exact age, but many people in their forties and fifties say that when they were children, they looked at the capitalist who looked like this, and after forty or fifty years, they didn't even see him get old, and his skin was still pink and tender, without a trace of wrinkles.
And, all year round, the capitalist wore almost always a white shirt, and no one saw him sweating hot or shivering from the cold. People have legends, this person is proficient in the art of health preservation, in the old Shanghai, many underworld bosses, and even high-ranking officials, are courteous to him, often ask him for advice on health preservation, at that time the university in Shanghai also tried to invite him to give lectures, but almost all of them were rejected by that person one by one, he lived a very low-key life, but it is precisely because he is so mysterious, but there are countless people who want to see him, and some even give a staggering high price.
Later, when it came to the Cultural Revolution, because he was a capitalist, he received strict criticism and spent many years in prison, although the conditions inside were extremely difficult, and many people younger than him could not bear it, and they were persecuted to death, but he survived unharmed, his skin was still so pink, and there were no wrinkles, but his hair was a little gray. Some people secretly call him the "old goblin".
What is even more amazing is that when his own sons are in their fifties, his face still looks only thirty or forty years old, that is, he looks younger than his sons.
A few years ago, the BBC's Discovery Channel deliberately wanted to make a documentary for him, but he didn't agree to anything, and in the end the BBC had no choice but to give up, and he refused to appear on any TV show.
But because this person is really so special, he is well-known in Shanghai, and almost everyone in Shanghai, who is over forty years old, has heard of this strange person.
However, in recent years, this person has lived in seclusion, and few people have seen him again.
As a native of Shanghai, the historian has of course heard of this person for a long time, many years ago, the historian had met the man once, to the historian's amazement, as the legend goes, the man was really pink and fair, without a trace of wrinkles on his face.
Historians have always felt that what caused that person's ageless appearance was just a superb maintenance technique, but he didn't expect that when he heard his cousin say this today, he realized that the capitalist turned out to be a Taoist priest, and he still had such a strange and wonderful experience, which was really incredible.
It's really "stepping on the iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get it", this Taoist priest whose whereabouts are extremely mysterious has been tracked down by us so lightly, which is really exciting!
In that case, we immediately prepared to go back to Shanghai with the historian to find the Taoist priest. And the Taoist priest I was looking for this time was the one who really understood the core secrets of the cave and the high blind man.
Originally, we all thought that it was better for my cousin to stay at home when he was old, after all, the time was more urgent, and the journey was more tiring, so I was afraid that he would not be able to stand it in his old age.
But then we thought about it, if we left our cousin alone at home, we would be even more uneasy, because if the blind man suddenly attacked while my cousin was alone, then my cousin's situation would be even more dangerous.
It was because of my cousin that we completely gave up our plan to take the train to Shanghai and decided to take a plane instead.
Originally, Sister Li and I and my cousin all felt that Hongmei and Xiaolei were completely here to help us, so we wanted to share their air tickets with the three of us, but Xiaolei and Hongmei didn't agree with anything, and they had to pay for it themselves.
The two of them are not only willing to take all kinds of dangers to help us eliminate the blind man, but at the critical moment, they even have to spend their own money, so willing to contribute money and efforts, this is the real friend.
Although the threat of the blind man completely destroyed our normal life, it also allowed us to gain unexpected friendships, and we can also feel that in these days of fighting together, the relationship between Xiao Lei and Hongmei has gradually deepened, in a sense, if it weren't for the blind man, maybe there would be no relationship between them. Things in the world are really amazing, good things can turn into bad things, but bad things can sometimes turn into good things.
We are non-stop, in the evening of the same day, we drove to the provincial airport, fortunately this day is not a holiday, so the ticket is very good, we quickly bought a ticket to fly to Shanghai that night, until after passing the security check, holding the boarding pass to board the plane, we were a little relieved, but also felt like a tide of exhaustion, after the plane took off, I couldn't help but fall asleep in a daze.
Shanghai, what awaits us?
