The historian next to me couldn't help but have a look of admiration on his face after hearing these words from his cousin. I also noticed that when he was listening just now, he couldn't help but nod his head.

"Teacher Wang is indeed very knowledgeable and has a commanding position. Today is also an unexpected harvest for me... because after a few of my friends were killed in the valley, I have nightmares almost every night. It is difficult for outsiders to imagine. The various pressures I endured: on the one hand, I still didn’t quite believe what the officials told me about the situation. This made me very depressed, aggrieved, and a little helpless; on the other hand, I felt sorry for the mysterious deaths of my friends. I can't figure it out. I really can't figure out what kind of terrible monsters it is that killed them. This makes me feel scared and miserable. I'm confused. I really don't know what to do next. .

But what I didn't expect was that I was lucky enough to meet you today. It solved the mystery in my heart and gave me hope for revenge. What you just said, Teacher Wang, makes sense. I am a native of Shanghai. Since I have to go to Shanghai to find that Taoist priest, of course I am obligated. I also hope to be able to help. Let's work together to kill that devilish tall blind man."

The historian volunteered excitedly.

My cousin smiled and nodded and said, "Well, you are right. As long as we work together, we will be able to defeat Blind Man Gao in the end. Since you have lived in Shanghai for a long time, if you participate in our next move, then we will have the right time. The advantageous location and people will be of great help to us, 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 it's very old. It's 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".

What Xiao Lei said also revealed our doubts. Yes, even if the Taoist priest is not dead, it is not easy to find such a person in the vast Shanghai.

After listening to Xiao Lei's question, my cousin smiled faintly, as if he was confident. We didn't say anything and looked at him eagerly, wondering what tricks he had in mind.

The cousin glanced at the historian. He seemed to be full of confidence. He smiled and said, "Actually, it is not as difficult to find the Taoist priest as you said, because there is a very important clue in the Taoist priest."

Clues. What clues will there be?

The cousin paused and then continued: "Don't forget, everyone, that Taoist priest's experience was very special. All the skin on his body once fell off. Then he came to the United States and used a special method to make the Taoist priest's skin... His skin has grown back. Because of this special experience, some of his body characteristics are very different from those of ordinary people. So what are the significant differences between him and ordinary people?

The biggest difference is that the new skin will be very pink and tender. It can be said to be white and rosy. The skin color is very good. But this kind of skin has a special characteristic, which is the ability to perspire and regulate temperature. They are all super strong. Moreover, this kind of skin will produce a special smell. Even if you are naked in the wild in summer, mosquitoes will not bite you.

Therefore, based on the characteristics of these skins, we can deduce that the Taoist priest is different from ordinary people in some strange ways. Although this man is old, he still has a childlike appearance, a pink complexion, and very few wrinkles. In addition, His skin has a very strong ability to regulate body temperature. Even if the outside temperature changes greatly throughout the year, the thickness of his clothes changes very little compared to ordinary people; and this person is not afraid of mosquito bites;

Combining these extremely unusual characteristics, no matter where this kind of person is, he will attract the attention of others. Although he may not be well-known to everyone, he will at least be famous. When we inquire, we will focus on people with these characteristics. That's about it. It’s that Taoist priest.”

We found that the cousin's words made the historian's eyes light up. As soon as the cousin finished speaking, the historian stood up from his chair in excitement and said loudly: "I found it. I found it. "Teacher Wang is so amazing. He is even more powerful than Sherlock Holmes. When you say this, I immediately think of a person. That person completely fits the characteristics mentioned by Teacher Wang. It is wonderful."

After hearing what the historian said, all of us became excited and quickly asked about the whole story. Only after the historian narrated it did we know what happened.

It turns out that the characteristics mentioned by my cousin just now made historians immediately think of a person. In fact, that person was a capitalist in Shanghai. In the old society, his family was very rich. I heard that that person was good at medicine and was also good at medicine. He had Feng Shui skills and made a fortune by relying on them. Before liberation, he had very strong financial resources and had opened several hospitals.

But that's not the most amazing thing. The most amazing thing is that people say that this man's health regimen is very good. No one knows his exact age. But many people in their forties and fifties say that when they were children, look at that capitalist. He looks like this. These forty or fifty years have passed and I haven't seen him age. His skin is still pink and tender, without a single wrinkle.

Moreover, the capitalist almost always wears a white shirt all year round. No one has seen him sweating from the heat or shivering from the cold. People have said that this man is proficient in health preservation. In old Shanghai At that time, many gangsters and even high-ranking officials treated him with great courtesy. They often asked him for advice on health care. At that time, the university in Shanghai even tried to invite him to give lectures. But he was almost always rejected by that person. He lived a very life. He is low-key, but precisely because he is so mysterious, countless people want to see him for medical treatment. Some even offer him a staggeringly high price.

Later, during the Cultural Revolution, that man was severely criticized because he was a capitalist. He also spent many years in prison. Although the conditions inside were extremely difficult, many people younger than him could not bear it. . were persecuted to death one after another. But he survived it unscathed. His skin was still so pink and tender, and there were no wrinkles. Only his hair was a little gray. Some people secretly called him "the old goblin".

What's even more amazing is that when his own son is already in his fifties, his face still looks like he is thirty or forty years old. In other words, he looks younger than his son.

A few years ago, the BBC's Discovery Channel specifically wanted to make a documentary on him, but he refused to agree to anything. In the end, the BBC had no choice but to give up. He even refused to appear on any TV programs.

But because this person is really special, he is quite famous in Shanghai. Almost all Shanghainese people over forty years old have heard of this strange man.

However, this man has been living in seclusion in recent years. Very few people have seen him again.

As a native of Shanghai, the historian has of course heard of this man for a long time. Many years ago, the historian had seen that man once. What amazed the historian was that it was just as the legend said. As expected, that man was pink and fair, with no wrinkles on his face.

Historians have always thought that what caused that man's ageless appearance was just a superb maintenance technique. But he didn't expect that today, after hearing what his cousin said, he realized that the capitalist turned out to be a Taoist priest. And he was still like this. A weird and wonderful experience. It’s so incredible.

It's true that "you can't find anything even if you break through iron shoes. It takes no effort to get there." This Taoist priest with extremely mysterious whereabouts was tracked so easily by us. It's really exciting.

In this case, we will immediately prepare to return to Shanghai with the historian to find the Taoist priest. And the Taoist priest we are looking for this time is the one who truly understands the core secrets of the cave and Gao Xiazi.

Originally, we all thought that since my cousin was getting older, it would be better to let him stay at home. After all, time was tight and the journey was tiring. We were afraid that he would not be able to bear it physically.

But everyone thought about it later. If we left our cousin at home alone, we would be even more worried. Because if blind man Gao suddenly launches an attack while his cousin is alone, then his situation will be even more dangerous. After much thought, we decided to let my cousin go with us. Of course, my cousin was also happy to go to Shanghai with us.

It was precisely because of my cousin that we completely gave up our plan to go to Shanghai by train and decided to take a plane instead. Although the air tickets were very expensive, we all risked it. Think about it carefully. At such a life-and-death moment, money is nothing. .

Of course, our air tickets are under the AA system. Originally, Sister Li, my cousin, and I all felt that Hongmei and Xiaolei were here to help us, so we wanted to share the share between the three of us. But Xiaolei and Hongmei didn’t agree with anything and had to pay for it themselves. In the end, we couldn’t help them and had to let them pay for it out of their own pockets. However, our gratitude to them is even more One step further.

The two of them not only risked all kinds of dangers to help us eliminate the blind people, but also had to spend their own money at critical moments. They were so willing to contribute money and efforts. This is a true friend.

Although the threat of blind man Gao completely destroyed our normal life, it also allowed us to gain unexpected friendship. And we can also feel that in these days of fighting together, Xiaolei and Hongmei's relationship gradually gradually Deepen. In a sense, if it hadn't been for Gao Yizi, their relationship might not have existed. Things in the world are really amazing. Good things can turn into bad things, but bad things can sometimes turn into good things.

We worked non-stop. That night, we drove to the provincial capital airport. Fortunately, it was not a holiday, so the air tickets were easy to book. We quickly bought the tickets to fly to Shanghai that night. We waited until we passed the security check and took the boarding pass. After boarding the plane, we relaxed a little. We all felt exhausted like a tide. After the plane took off, I couldn't help but drifted into sleep.
