"Okay, that's barely a benefit, but what's the third benefit?" I asked.
"That guy named Tie, Mr. Li must have some issues with him."
"Are you talking about Tie Qilin? It's not some festival, but a deep hatred. His grandfather once tortured and killed my grandfather. In order to avenge my grandfather, I forced his grandfather to death. Now this kid wants to put me to death." I told it truthfully.
"That's it. Although Mr. Li's strength can completely deal with Tie Qilin, Mr. Li should not underestimate this person. This person has learned Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang is not a big deal, but the key is that what he has learned is Onmyoji from Little Japan."
"I don't need to say more about how perverted the people of Xiaori Country are. Their magic is naturally evil beyond people's imagination, and there are many despicable and dirty methods that make it difficult for people to guard against."
"And this time after the Taoist Priest in Red has overcome the tribulation, she will be able to help you get rid of Tie Qilin and save Mr. Li a lot of trouble."
Wait, why does it sound like this Taoist nun in red is his servant? Whatever he asks the Taoist nun in red to do, she can do it?
But I suppressed this doubt and discomfort and did not show it.
"There is a fourth benefit. Mr. Li came to Yanjing this time to do something big. It is for a woman, related to the Long family, right?"
Damn it, he even knows this, his mind-reading skills are really awesome.
Now that he knows everything, I won't hide it anymore.
"Yes, I came to Yanjing to find my girlfriend."
"Mr. Li has deep feelings for your girlfriend, but it's a pity that the person who took her away was a member of the Long family. Mr. Li should have been to the Long family before."
"The Long family's residence is located at the foot of the imperial mausoleum. There are obstacles within a kilometer radius, and ordinary people cannot enter at all, including Mr. Li."
"Okay, don't beat around the bush, what exactly do you want to say?" I interrupted him.
"As long as I can help the Taoist priestess in red survive the catastrophe, in addition to the three benefits mentioned above, there is also the most important one. I can help Mr. Li break the obstacles outside the Long family and allow you to enter the Long family smoothly. .”
Forehead? This is really what interests me.
Because I am really worried about not being able to enter Long’s house to find Xu Jing.
"I know that woman is very important to Mr. Li, so I can solve Mr. Li's urgent need."
"Of course, without me, Mr. Li would sooner or later find a way to break through the obstacles to enter the Long family, but that will take time. Mr. Li's girlfriend is at the Long family, and I'm afraid Mr. Li is not willing to wait any longer."
"Okay, I've finished my words. Now it's up to Mr. Li's decision. To put it bluntly, this is a deal between us. Of course, if Mr. Li is willing to make me Zhang Chi's friend, we can also Say it’s about helping each other.”
"No rush, Mr. Li can think about it carefully."
Zhang Chi stood up as he spoke, walked to the tea table nearby, and skillfully made two cups of tea. One cup was brought in front of me, and the other was his own.
I really had to think carefully about it, and it would be okay to use three bells to help the Taoist priestess in red dress survive the calamity. After all, the Taoist priestess in red clothes was a pure and kind person. My grandfather had helped her back then, so he gave her the Fiery Bell.
There's nothing wrong with me giving her a little more help.
But the key is this relaxation. He always gives me a bad feeling. Isn't this a trap?
I looked up at Zhang Chi, who was sipping tea elegantly with his head lowered.
"How are Mr. Li's thoughts?" He put down the teacup.
I said: "I'm surprised, why are you so enthusiastic about helping the Taoist priestess in red to overcome the tribulation? Is it just out of good intentions?"
"You just talked about a lot of benefits. I'm afraid if you help the Taoist priestess in red to overcome the tribulation, it will also be of great benefit to you, right?"
Zhang Chi smiled.
"Mr. Li is indeed a thoughtful person, and he never speaks secretly. In fact, my elder, my grandfather, once received favor from the Taoist nun in red."
"At that time, the Taoist priestess in red had not yet embarked on the path of monasticism. She was still an ordinary villager in the mountains of western Hunan. At that time, my grandfather was young and energetic, and he went to the mountains of western Hunan with a group of friends to travel. I don't know why. He was poisoned and almost died."
"It was the Taoist nun in red who saved him. At that time, the Taoist nun in red was still Aunt Liu, a young girl."
"Is it because of this?" I looked at Zhang Chi and thought to myself, why do I not believe it so much? Just to repay a favor?
"Yes, as the saying goes, a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. If it weren't for the red-dressed Taoist nun, my grandfather might have died that year. Then there would be no dad, and naturally there would be no me. This is a great kindness. We Of course I have to repay it.”
"So after the Taoist priestess in red failed to escape the tribulation, my grandfather collected a trace of her remnant soul, brought it from the Magic City to Yanjing, and put it in the Morton Hotel, so that she could help the guests wash away their sins and start a new life. To accumulate merit for herself.”
"At the same time, we have also tried every possible means to provide her with the conditions for a second practice, so that she can overcome the tribulation for the second time and ensure success."
Well, it doesn’t sound like there’s anything wrong with it on the surface, but it’s quite reasonable.
"Mr. Li, there is no need to doubt my words. If you must doubt it, then you can verify it yourself."
"How to verify?" I asked. I said to myself that I don't have the ability to read minds. How can I know whether what you say is true or false?
"Tonight, 404, the Taoist nun in red will appear again. If Mr. Li is willing, he can stay in 404 tonight. You will meet the Taoist nun in red in a strange way. Then you will naturally know what I am talking about. Is it true or false?”
"And you will decide at that time whether you want to help the red-dressed Taoist lady survive the catastrophe?"
"good."
I stood up.
"Then let's wait until it's verified tonight. I'll take my leave first."
"Mr. Li, walk slowly."
I quickly left Zhang Chi's office and went down the stairs to the fourth floor.
When I returned to 404, Long Xin was already awake and chatting with Shu Wen there.
But Lao Hu was sitting on the sofa in the living room with a frown, wondering what he was thinking? He was relieved to see me back and stood up hurriedly.
"That man is really the owner of the Morton Hotel. Why are you looking for him?"
"You want to ask me for help, no, you want to make a deal with me. After all, he listed so many benefits."
"What's the deal?"
I recounted the conversation with Zhang Chi.
Lao Hu was surprised after hearing this.
"You're saying that the red-dressed Taoist nun is not the red-dressed fierce one among the four legendary evil creatures at all. She has never harmed anyone. The reason why she stays at the Walton Hotel is to help people wash away their sins. ?Also accumulate merit for herself?"
Lao Hu obviously didn't believe it.
I shrugged: "That's not what I said, that's what Zhang Chi said."
"Lao Hu, this goes against our previous judgment. Do you think what Zhang Chi said is true or false?"
Lao Hu said: "This red-clothed fierce reputation didn't spread in a day or two. It was obviously such a vicious evil thing, but how could it suddenly turn into a good person? It's nonsense, it's a bit nonsense."
"I think so too, but now it seems that Tie Qilin is just a little guy, not even qualified to be my opponent. The most important thing is that the Taoist nun in red still has this relaxation, so we have to deal with it carefully."
Lao Hu said: "In that case, then just go to 404 tonight and meet the Taoist nun in red in person. But if it is a hole dug by Zhang Chi, then you have to be careful."
I said: "Don't worry, the red-dressed Taoist priest needs three of my bells to survive the tribulation. He won't attack me until he gets three bells."
