When I was a Taoist

Chapter 506 Deal
"Young man, there is an old saying in your Huaxia country, you will suffer if you don't listen to the old man's words. If you don't follow my advice now, you will definitely suffer in the ghost competition in the future." The old man shook his head and said.

I stopped and turned around to look at this weird guy, and said with a light smile, "Old man, there is an old saying in our Huaxia country that tells dogs to meddle in their own business. You and I are neither relatives nor relatives, even if I really It has nothing to do with you, please don’t follow me anymore. There are many people who are going to Hell City from here, you can ask them if they need your guide.”

"Little guy, fate comes as soon as you say it. If you miss it, you really won't meet again."

The old man was not annoyed, he just let out a sigh of emotion and stopped pestering me to sell his guide services, and just followed me all the time, unable to get rid of him no matter what.If it was in Dragon City, I would have gone up and taught this annoying guy a lesson.Thinking of being in country B, where he was not familiar with now, he still endured it after thinking about it, and it would not be too late to persuade Shangguanmu to leave after his friends came.

I was sitting in a cafe next to the airport, eating and looking around.Before the start, Shangguanmu told me that he actually didn't know what this guide looked like. He only knew that he had a deep friendship with a senior member of the Taoist Association, so he voluntarily became a guide for members of the Taoist Association.Because the members who went to participate each time failed to come back alive, so until now no one can tell who this mysterious person is.

"You just need to remember that he is a reclusive magician with unfathomable strength."

Recalling the only clue Shangguanmu told me, I couldn't help but smile wryly.A magician is not a Taoist priest, how could I tell the other party's identity.It seems that this time it really has to be reckless.

At this time, I suddenly looked at the old man with his eyes closed and resting not far away, and a strange thought flashed in my heart, he wouldn't be the one I was waiting for, right?If it's really him, I offended him before, and I'm afraid I won't be able to help the Daoist Society again in the future.

With this strange thought in mind, I hurriedly sat beside the old man, and asked cautiously, "Old man, are you a magician?"

The old man didn't open his eyes, but shook his head and said, "Anyone who dares to be a guide to Hell City is not a magician. If you don't have some skills, you don't dare to approach that place at all."

When I heard that, my heart suddenly became half cold.Well, I didn't expect the supernatural circle in country B to be so large, and even magicians have become rare and commonplace.It seems that it is impossible to use this identity to find the "friend" Shangguanmu mentioned.

In desperation, I had no choice but to call Shangguan Mutong.But he was also very helpless on the phone, saying that this magician came here completely according to his temper. If he didn't take the initiative to find me, he might just have no interest in me.

After hanging up the phone, I found out that according to the current situation, he probably let go of my pigeons, and felt that there was no need to take me to Hell City to participate in the supernatural contest.Well now, I'm mostly disappointed all of a sudden.If I didn't have an old senior to guide me to familiarize myself with the entire process of the supernatural contest, I'm afraid I would suffer half the loss before others.

"Hey, has the little guy been released as a pigeon?"

Just when I was at a loss, the old man popped up again at some point, and said with a smile, "How about it, do you want to consider my suggestion now? In the whole country B, although I dare not say that I know the supernatural contest best, But it can be ranked first, and you will never be disappointed.”

I was distraught, and originally planned to drive this old man like jellybean away.But after thinking about it, Shangguanmu's friends would not come to me anyway, so why didn't I go along with the flow and accept the old man's help.Even if it is not as powerful as he blows, it is still better than nothing, and it is better than being hit by mistake like a headless chicken.

Seeing that my face softened, the old man knew that his chance had come, and immediately sat beside me and began to brag about his ability.I waved my hand to interrupt his long speech, and said straight to the point: "Let me tell you in advance that although I have been a Taoist priest for so many years, I don't have much savings. If you ask for too high a price, I will immediately Turn around and leave."

"Don't worry, I came to you because of our destiny. Many people wanted to ask me to be a guide, but I refused,"

The old man smiled slightly, then waved five fingers in front of me, and said, "50."

When I heard it, my eyes widened and I almost jumped out of the words "You are stealing money".But after thinking about it, if I can really use him to gain something in the supernatural contest, the 50 is definitely worth the money.And although I'm not very rich, the money I've saved over the years is barely enough.

Gritting my teeth and stomping my feet, I nodded and said, "Deal, I will transfer 50 to you right away, and you can take me to Hell City now."

"No, no, maybe you misunderstood me."

However, the old man shook his head, and said again with a smile on his face, "I mean $50."

"Damn it, you are stealing money, old man!"

I cursed loudly, got up and was about to leave.Just kidding, even if you sell me, it's impossible to raise so much money, so don't let this kind of profiteer!

"Hey little guy, wait!"

The old man hurriedly stopped me, and said with a smile: "You should know that No. 3 of this supernatural contest has a reward of 300 million US dollars. Think about it now, is this small amount of money counted as an investment?"

"Don't give me this kind of empty check, then I have to get No.3 first. If you point me to a detour, it's too late for me to cry, isn't the 50 yuan worthless?" I ruthlessly Glaring him a hard look, he said angrily.

"Don't worry, as long as you work hard, No.3 will definitely be in your pocket." The old man smiled lightly. I don't know why, this sentence sounds like a lie, but I saw his face full of confidence and arrogance , as if this kind of thing is really easy for him.

No matter what, I can't afford the $50, and I won't be taken advantage of.Seeing that he couldn't keep me, the old man hesitated and said, "If you can't get it out at once, I can charge you a tenth. If you lose the election in the end, I don't want any money. How about it?"

"I'll go, do you still have an installment payment?"

I didn't expect this old man to be so good at doing business, and now I don't have any reason to refuse.Without the slightest hesitation, I nodded and said, "Deal!"
