Chapter 007: The Great Golden Tooth
The two individuals ended the call
The esteemed teacher has offered a substantial sum of money, and clearly, this is someone whom the esteemed teacher holds in high regard, as no contract has been signed. Such a person is not someone he can provoke
Previously, after listening to a few people's conversations, he thought the plot would not begin for a while.
Mark got out of the car and opened the door for Cao Yi
Cao Yi walked over, reached out to pick it up, and opened it
I truly do not understand what use there is in raising you
Hello, Mr. Mark, um, Daoist?
Upon entering the beer house, Cao Yi immediately spotted a man with a slicked-back hairstyle and dressed in a very retro style, sporting a prominent gold tooth, sitting at the bar.
Cao Yi responded calmly, and then he heard Mark screaming on the other end of the phone
Cao Yi : `` ... ... ''
That person! Cao Yi suddenly thought of a character in the plot, a slight smile playing at the corner of his mouth
This mobile phone was given to me by your esteemed teacher for the convenience of communication; she left shortly after you departed
Cao Yi looked out of the car window, and it was several miles before he could see a single household. He couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder; America was indeed much like what was described in textbooks. Apart from the large cities, the population was extremely sparse
tonight
An hour later, the sedan stopped in front of the Paddy McGuire's Pub in Manhattan
On the stone table between two jujube trees, a red mobile phone left by the rainbow (at this time referred to as "Big Brother" on the mainland, expensive and a symbol of wealth) is ringing incessantly
In comparison to the original plot, the attitude towards the Tomb Raiders and others can be described as being worlds apart.
Mark listened, looking puzzled: "What a strange religion, it doesn't evangelize? It doesn't talk about going to heaven or hell after death?"
Is the Taoist priest also going?
At this time, it is when the alcoholics are most active, yet there is not a single sound inside, clearly indicating that the venue has been booked exclusively by Global Mining.
Feeling bored, Mark opened up the conversation
The car door opened, and Mark, dressed in a sharp suit that exuded professionalism, got out with a beaming smile and opened the rear car door
Cao Yi shook his head helplessly
Is there a problem
Xiao Tian, having eaten his fill, either takes a stroll or sleeps, understanding the principles of health preservation better than most people. How could he possibly fall ill
Cao Yi speaks to himself
"Daoist, please get in the car"
Soon, after Xiao Tian finished eating, Cao Yi quickly cleaned the used pots and tidied up the items. He returned to his room and began drawing talismans again
Cao Yi explained
As the legal representative of Global Mining Group, everything related to contracts falls within his scope of work
Mark noticed that Cao Yi remained silent and assumed that he had inadvertently violated some religious taboo, so he refrained from speaking further
Who would be a good choice
Although this healing talisman communicates with the primordial energy of heaven and earth, its actual effectiveness remains an unknown, as it has not been subjected to practical verification
Did you just say we will meet the tomb raider tonight
Daoist priest, I sincerely apologize for disturbing you at such a late hour
Mark's tone became very polite
Mark returned to the car, gripping the steering wheel, and drove out of the woods surrounding the Taoist temple. Before long, he arrived at a straight road.
You, you are Mr. Cao from the Yuxu Temple, no, Daoist Cao, why are you the one answering the phone? Is Master still with you?
After Cao Yi tidied up, he locked the Taoist temple and stood at the entrance with a shoulder bag featuring the Taiji and Bagua patterns, waiting.
I washed two more leaves of cabbage, chopped them, and stir-fried them in the wok.
Yes
Taking a bite, mmm, delicious
Draw a talisman that can communicate with the primordial energy of heaven and earth, which has been his long-cherished desire since he became a Taoist
Cao Yi, concerned that Mark might not understand, added: "The Dao is the original driving force behind the transformation of all things in the universe, the root of creation; virtue is noble character; the unity of heaven and humanity is in accordance with the laws of nature, achieving harmony between humanity and nature; valuing life and benefiting the world means respecting life and helping others."
Clearly frightened
Mark asked again
I am very interested in the Tomb Raider
Respect virtue and uphold morality, achieve harmony between heaven and humanity, value life and benefit the world
Once the pot of soup comes to a boil, turn off the gas, take a sheet of dough, place it on a plate, then pour a portion of the stir-fried cabbage on top, roll it up, and a delightful steamed pancake filled with vegetables is ready.
Who should I try to find
Cao Yi rolled up his sleeves, took a piece of dough the size of half a palm, rolled it out into several sheets, spread vegetable oil between them, and placed them in a pot of water with a strainer, then turned on the gas.
Respectful teacher, Da Jin Ya has arranged for Mo Jin Xiao Wei to meet tonight at the Paddy McGuire's Beer House in Manhattan
Cao Yi used his foot to hook out the plate from under the table and placed the last steamed bun roll with vegetables on top.
Daoism, what is the philosophy of Daoism? Many of my friends from the Celestial Empire have told me that Daoism is quite different from general religions
Daoist Cao will also participate in this operation. He heard that I am meeting with the Tomb Raider tonight and is very curious, so he came to take a look.
Thank you
The voice of Mark, the legal representative of Global Mining, came through the mobile phone
Mark walked over to explain, his face displaying a newfound arrogance that had not been present moments ago
Da Jinya reacted, looking up and down at Cao Yi, his eyes shining with excitement, and he clicked his tongue, saying: "I never expected to see a Taoist priest from my hometown across a Pacific Ocean!"
In the blink of an eye, evening has arrived, the last glimmer of light on the horizon struggles for a moment before being buried by the boundless darkness, signaling the end of yet another day.
Come over to eat
Cao Yidao expressed his gratitude and got out of the car
Gululu... Suddenly, my stomach rebelled
A few seconds later
The suburban area of New York at night is very cold, with the wind blowing in from the woods, chilling the face
The kitchen is not large, and the layout is quite simple. There are three tables: one with a gas stove on it, another with a cutting board, seasonings, spoons, and bowls, and the last one with a large cabbage, radishes, and flour. Items that cannot fit are placed under the tables. Oh, and there is also a bucket of water.
Cao Yi set down the vermilion that had been used up, the exploded brush, and looked at the healing talisman firmly pressed down by his other hand, a knowing smile appearing on his face
Cao Yi placed the now quiet healing talisman into a canvas shoulder bag adorned with the Taiji Bagua pattern, left the room, and proceeded to the kitchen
On the other end of the phone, Mark, taken aback, inquired
One cannot rely solely on oneself; after undergoing the baptism of the Golden Elixir, one's physical health becomes remarkably exceptional
Xiao Tian approached as if he were a distinguished guest arriving at a restaurant, walking slowly and deliberately, before bowing his head to begin eating
Having finished drawing the talismans, Cao Yi, who was performing the evening ritual in the shrine, suddenly heard a ringing sound and got up to leave the shrine
Cao Yi was a bit surprised
Cao Yilian had just eaten three when he was about to eat the fourth one, when Xiaotian appeared at the kitchen door, staring with a pair of bright, piercing eyes, as if to say, "Hey, I haven't eaten yet."
Daoist priest, please
No problem, I will come to pick you up
Five million dollars, no contract signed
Dajin Ya was about to greet Mark when he saw Cao Yi, who was dressed in a Daoist robe, and was taken aback
The Long March has taken its first step
Cao Yi nodded and got into the car
Approximately thirty minutes later, a sedan slowly drove in from the night and stopped at the entrance of the temple.
Have you signed a contract with the teacher? How much compensation did they give you
