Chapter 237: Leaving the West (Part I)
"There's no need for you and me to come to these false courtesies. Zheng Xuan touched the beard on his chin and said, "You must be very careful when you go to the West." Although those sideways in the West are not as good as the good and evil in our China, they can survive in the West for so long, which proves that there must be something outstanding in them, don't be too careless. ”
"Senior brother, please rest assured, Changqing understands. Xu Changqing smiled slightly, hugged his fists at everyone again, and said, "I'll go first, and you will have a meeting later." ”
After speaking, Xu Changqing cast a ghostly magic act and disappeared from everyone's eyes in an instant, turned into a phantom, leaped over a field, rushed into the woods, and galloped towards the south. After seeing Xu Changqing leave, everyone took the carriage prepared by the Chen family and went northwest along the mountain road.
After leaving Chen Jiachong, Xu Changqing used his skills to pass directly through the mountains and dense forests, without stopping on the road, and rushed towards Hong Kong. Due to the three-element qi of heaven, earth and man, Xu Changqing was stranded on the mountain, and did not have time to catch the ship in Shanghai, and the closest ship would not wait until two months later. Fortunately, there is no endless road for him, and the Chen family inquired for him that a passenger and cargo cruise ship of the Portuguese Pacific Trading Company had left Osaka a day ago and would stay in Hong Kong for half a day in the past two days. If he missed the ship again, he would have to take a fishing boat to Mumbai, India, where he would board a British cruise, which was obviously an outcome he did not want to see.
With Xu Changqing's ghostly and magical body method being used with all his might, it only took four or five hours to rush from Shaoguan to Hong Kong. Because he was shuttling in the mountains and forests all the way, his clothes looked a little messy, but fortunately, because the Five Elements Dao Law has a dust-avoiding effect, there is no dust on his body, and it doesn't look too dusty. Although he had a very smooth journey, he still encountered a little trouble when entering Hong Kong.
In the previous civil war between the north and the south, although Guangdong was in the rear of the battlefield, it could not make the local people feel stable, so a large number of people poured into Hong Kong to seek the protection of the British colonial invaders. Due to the influx of displaced people in a short period of time, Hong Kong's law and order deteriorated, and under pressure, the Governor of Hong Kong ordered the closure of the entry route and prohibited the entry of displaced people into Hong Kong. Although the North-South peace talks were later successful and a new regime was formed, Hong Kong had no idea of lifting the ban. In order to avoid trouble, Xu Changqing spent money to apply for a temporary entry permit before entering Hong Kong.
After the establishment of the new regime, Provisional President Sun Yat-sen issued a whipping decree, which was followed by most of the young people in Guangdong, except for the elderly. Hong Kong has also been affected by this trend of whipping, not only young people cut off the whip on their heads, but even some trendy old people still have this Qing court root removed. For a while, the street was full of pedestrians with clear lights in front and shoulder-length pedestrians in the back, which looked particularly weird.
Two years ago, Xu Changqing cut off his braids when he was refining the Thousand Souls Yama King Suo, and he had been using fake braids. After that, when he was on the mountain, his head grew again, although he was not combed, and his hair was scattered, and it looked messy, but after all, his head was full of black, and he looked much better than other people who had just cut off the whip.
After learning from the terminal management that the Atlantic Trading Company's passenger and cargo cruise ship would not arrive at Hong Kong until noon tomorrow, Xu Changqing did not wait at the dock hotel, but hired a horse-drawn carriage and entered the city of Hong Kong.
Since you are going to the West, you will inevitably deal with Westerners, and if you wear this long coat and green shirt all the time, it is obviously a bit out of place. After entering the city, Xu Changqing bought several sets of gray and black dress suits at the best dress store in Hong Kong, including leather shoes, trousers, shirts, vests and a knee-length woolen coat. Xu Changqing himself is not shorter than those foreigners, and he uses the Five Elements Dao Law to shrink and fit his clothes, which makes people look as if this dress is specially made for him, and it is extremely decent.
"Sir, I have ever seen one of the best-looking Chinese in a dress, better looking than most foreigners. The owner of the clothing store looked at the handsome and handsome Xu Changqing and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Aren't other Chinese people looking good in Western clothes?" Xu Changqing looked at himself in front of the big mirror, always feeling that something was missing, and while thinking about things, he also accosted casually.
"They?heh!" the owner of the dress shop smiled slightly disdainfully, and then his eyes glanced at Xu Changqing's back schematically.
Xu Changqing turned his head to see that at the ordering counter not far behind him, a rich man from a village near Hong Kong was leading a group of domestic slaves to try on the suits he had just made in the store. I saw that he was wearing a Su embroidered brocade robe on his upper body, a long horse coat with gold embroidered edges on his lower body, a pair of thick-soled cloud boots on his feet, and gold and silver on his body, which was completely dressed as a traditional rich man. The reason why he was looked down upon by the owner of the dress shop was mainly because he regarded the suit as a general brocade coat, covering the outside of the gown to wear, which looked unChinese and nondescript, and looked extremely bloated and funny. Although this person's dress looks a bit unsightly to outsiders, in the eyes of himself and most Chinese people, the suit should be worn like this.
Seeing this scene, Xu Changqing couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, with no intention of stepping forward to point out. Like this rich man, many Chinese people are swaying in the impact of Chinese and Western cultures, and what they need is not reminders and guidance, but self-awakening.
Although Xu Changqing didn't point out what the rich man was wearing, the rich man's dress gave him a hint and made him understand what he was missing. So he turned to the shopkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you know where Western pocket watches are sold?"
"Sir, if you want to buy a pocket watch, the shop just happens to have it. After hearing this, the owner of the dress shop hurriedly and respectfully welcomed Xu Changqing into the back room, and after passing through a small patio, he came to the shop on the other side. This shop is a foreign goods store, selling all Western gadgets, obviously the owner has a very high understanding of these Western gadgets, the various goods are neatly arranged, plus the special glass counter, the overall look is extremely comfortable.
The shopkeeper asked the guy to take out a few boxes from the counter and opened them one by one in front of Xu Changqing, only to see that there were more than a dozen beautifully shaped Western pocket watches inside. Xu Changqing looked at it and did not choose those gorgeous pocket watches, but chose a silver pocket watch with a simple style and a little old look.
