It was built by the British Swire Shipping Company from 1904 to 1908 for use by the Swire Shipping Company.
In the 1920s, Yangcheng was a relatively complete storage terminal.
No. 124, Gexin Road.
After activation, it can be used for wine exhibition and sales, catering, tourism and leisure, design, etc.
"Yangcheng in this era is already so prosperous!" Murphy sighed.
Cars can be seen everywhere on the streets.
Of course, people who can afford to drive a car are either rich or expensive.
It’s just that the world has never been short of rich people.
After casually strolling around Yangcheng, it was soon noon. Murphy found a decent restaurant and went to have dinner.
Of all things in the world, food and wine should not be missed.
Murphy ordered a lot of Yangcheng's signature dishes.
White-cut chicken, also called white-cut chicken, is a Chinese national specialty dish. It originated in Yangcheng and is common in southern cuisines. Cantonese cuisine’s white-cut chicken is the most famous.
The shape is beautiful, the skin is yellow and the meat is white, the meat is tender and delicious, and the taste is extremely delicious. It is very delicious. The meat is white and buttery, with the aroma of scallion oil. The green onion segments are decorated with flowers and borders. It is served with soy sauce or special Puning bean paste, which maintains the flavor of the chicken.
Delicious, authentic, and unique in taste.
While Murphy was enjoying his meal, his ears twitched and he suddenly heard someone in the restaurant talking about "driving corpses", which made Murphy interested.
He picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, and looked at the person he was talking about.
Then I saw a man wearing a yellow Taoist robe and a black Taoist crown, dressed like a Taoist priest, chatting with a fat middle-aged man with a well-built figure.
"Huh?"
Murphy made a sound of surprise, because this Taoist priest looked familiar...
Especially that pair of glasses.
"Taoist Priest Simu, this time my father is here, so I beg you to send him back to his hometown safely!"
said the rich fat man.
"Don't worry, Master Qian. If you can find me, you must also know what my reputation is in this industry." The Taoist priest patted his chest and said, "I will live up to my high expectations if I am entrusted by others and loyal to others!"
"Taoist Priest Four Eyes?" Mo Fei was stunned and muttered: "Is it the Taoist Priest Four Eyes I know?"
The fat man chatted with the Taoist priest for a few words and then left. As for the food on the table, he didn't touch it at all.
Taoist Priest Simu could not help but move his throat as he smelled the aroma of wine and food.
Although he has saved a box of gold by "catching corpses" over the years, he is stingy and reluctant to spend money. The clothes on his body are all worn for several years.
It is absolutely impossible for him to arrange a banquet for himself, but if the guests are treating him, then he will not be polite.
“I haven’t had such a sumptuous meal in a long time!”
Taoist priest Simu immediately poured himself a glass of wine, drank it down, then picked up his chopsticks and picked up the vegetables.
Food and wine are all in your mouth, so happy.
But an uninvited guest came to disturb the situation.
Just as Taoist Priest Simu was enjoying his meal, a young man with an almost enchanting appearance in a suit sat across from him and held his hands in front of him:
"Taoist Priest!"
The four-eyed Taoist priest frowned and looked at Mo Fei, and said for a long time: "This young master, do we know each other?"
"I didn't know each other before, but I should know them now." Mo Fei said with a smile: "I'm sorry, my hearing has been better than ordinary people's since I was a child. I just heard the Taoist priest and Mr. Qian talking about 'causing corpses'..."
"Sir, I'm afraid you heard wrong. Mr. Qian just asked me to help him check the Feng Shui. There is no such thing as 'causing corpses'." Taoist Master Simu smiled, but his eyes were full of vigilance.
"Ding dong!"
A handful of ocean fell onto the table, making a crisp sound.
Taoist Priest Simu's greedy eyes immediately widened. He swallowed hard and couldn't even bear to move his eyes away from those oceans:
"Master, what did you just ask me? I must have told you everything I know with my four eyes!"
Murphy chuckled and said, "I asked the Taoist Priest and Mr. Qian just now if they were talking about 'exorcising corpses'?"
As a transportation hub connecting East Asia and Southeast Asia, Yangcheng is naturally indispensable for British banks. In fact, in 1845, the British Bank of West India opened an office in Yangcheng.
It is really a simple matter for Murphy to convert the pounds he has on him into oceans.
"Yes, Mr. Qian's father came from a foreign country to make a living. Now he has earned a share of the family business and Mr. Qian has inherited it. However, he returned to his roots. Before his death, he left a will and wanted to return to his hometown for burial. Therefore, Mr. Qian specially entrusted me to bury him.
Dad's body will be sent back to his hometown." Taoist priest Simu said.
"I see." Murphy nodded, and then asked: "Is there really a Taoist technique that can make the dead walk in this world?"
"Ha!" Taoist Priest Four Eyes slapped his chest, raised his head, and said with a proud look on his face: "To be honest, young master, I am a direct disciple of the Maoshan Sect. The art of 'driving corpses' is just a small way, and it is as easy as flipping a finger."
"Master, if you have business, you can also introduce me to Simu, and I will ensure that I send you back to your hometown safely, and I can also give you a 20% discount!"
Mo Fei has a black streak on his head, you seem to be cursing something bad for my family, right?
"I am alone, so I may not be able to take care of Taoist priest's business for the time being." Mo Fei said: "But Taoist Master Simu, I once heard that there is a Taoist Lin Jiu of the Maoshan sect who has great magical power and can easily kill demons.
Have you ever known him?"
"Didn't you expect that my senior brother's reputation has spread so far?" Taoist priest Simu said: "Young master, Lin Jiuzheng is my senior brother. Now he lives in Renjia Town, doing weddings and funerals for others, exorcising ghosts and demons.
I have accumulated public morality, but I have long stopped engaging in the business of “removing corpses”.”
Mo Fei understood. It seemed that this world was really the world he thought. With Taoist Master Four Eyes and Uncle Nine, it was basically stable.
"Taoist Priest Four Eyes has misunderstood. I am not looking for Taoist Priest Lin Jiu to drive away corpses, but I have been interested in Taoism since I was a child and want to experience the advanced Taoism." Mo Fei said with a smile: "I just don't know.
Can Taoist Master Four Eyes give me a recommendation?"
Taoist Master Four Eyes felt a little unhappy now. What's going on? I'm a big living person in front of you. You treat it like you can't see it... Do you have to go see my senior brother if you want to experience profound Taoism?
I admit that my four eyes are a little behind my senior brother in terms of realm, but the difference is limited!
Then he said with a smile on his face: "Master, you want to experience advanced Taoism. This is easy to do. When we find a quieter corner, I can demonstrate it to you."
After all, Murphy gave him too much money.
As long as Mo Fei grabbed a handful of money, he could tell with his naked eyes that it was at least fifty yuan!
This is a big fat sheep in front of me.
As long as you make him happy, isn't the ocean huge?
"This..." Mo Fei looked hesitant, obviously disgusted with Taoist Priest Simu. After a long time, he said: "As long as Taoist Priest is willing to introduce Uncle Jiu on your behalf, I can give you a gift of two hundred yuan as a thank you?"
"Isn't that enough? Then five hundred oceans! Otherwise, Taoist priest, can you just name the number?" Mo Fei said.
"That's enough, that's enough, two hundred oceans is enough!" Taoist Master Simu said quickly, with a somewhat reluctant look on his face: "I just want to introduce you to you, it's not a big deal. I deserve two hundred oceans."
"No need to worry about Taoist Master Simu. I have nothing but money. It's only two hundred oceans, which is not enough for me to eat for a day!" Murphy waved his hand and said.
Taoist Priest Four Eyes: "..."
It hurts my heart, old man!
Envy, jealousy, teeth are about to break. When will he be able to earn two hundred oceans for a day's meal?
"Okay, this matter is settled. When I finish the business with Mr. Qian and the others, I will come to Yangcheng again and specially lead you to Renjia Town to meet my senior brother." Taoist priest Simu said.
"Are you still going to such trouble?" Murphy frowned and said, "Can't we set off to see Uncle Jiu now?"
"But Mr. Qian and the others can't afford to delay here. If the body is broken, it will be tragic." Taoist priest Simu said.
"Can't you resign and let others 'drive' you? Don't worry, Taoist Master Simu, I will pay for all losses!" Mo Fei said.
"This is not a matter of money." Taoist Master Simu shook his head and said, "It's also a matter of my credibility. If I really regret it at the end of the day, I may not be able to work in this industry in the future."
"Is there really no way to get the best of both worlds?" Murphy said.
"The best of both worlds..." Taoist Priest Simu thought for a while: "Yes... but... no, no!"
"What's not possible? If Taoist Master Simu has something to say, don't say it directly. If it's about money, don't worry. I'm so poor that all I have left is money," said Murphy.
Good guy!
How much money does this young master have in his family?
Are you saying something so arrogant?
Taoist Priest Four Eyes marveled in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Originally, on my trip to drive away corpses, I also went to my senior brother's residence in Renjia Town. I also wanted to see my senior brother who I haven't seen for a long time..."
"Isn't this just right!" Murphy clapped his hands and said, "Master Simu, what are you still hesitating about?"
"But the 'corpse chaser' is in the company of the dead, sleeping day and night, passing through the barren mountains and ridges. I don't say whether you, young master, with such delicate skin and tender flesh can bear the hardship. Even if you have been in contact with the dead for a long time, you may be injured.
If your luck is damaged, you are more likely to encounter some monsters and ghosts. If anything happens..." Taoist priest Four Eyes said.
"Hahaha, Taoist Master Four Eyes, you are worrying too much." Mo Fei laughed and said, "I am not a person without self-awareness. If I am interested in Taoism, how can I just talk about it?"
Mo Fei picked up the celadon wine glass in front of him and sharpened it with his palm. The remaining half of the wine glass had a smooth curved surface.
"What a great skill!" Taoist Priest Four Eyes looked at Mo Fei in shock. Only then did he realize that the thin, handsome young man in front of him turned out to be a martial arts master.
"I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, and now I have achieved some success. I am not afraid of some monsters and monsters." Mo Fei said: "It's just that I have never seen a famous master in Taoism, so I yearn for it, but there is no real knowledge."
"It's just that I've lost my sight. You have trained your martial arts to this level, and your energy and blood are so strong that ordinary monsters and ghosts may not dare to come near you. So, it's okay to come with me." Taoist Master Four Eyes considered.
After talking for a while, he said.
"Taoist Priest Four Eyes, okay, it's settled!" Murphy slapped the table and said.
…
The moon was dark and the wind was high, the crows were crows, and the dense mountain forests were filled with coolness. In such a scary forest path, the four-eyed Taoist priest shook the "corpse driving bell" in his hand and recited a mantra in his mouth: "Yin people"
Borrow the way, Yang people avoid it."
"Whether you want to avoid it or not, you have to take care of yourself."
The corpse behind, with a pale and expressionless face, and a yellow talisman on its forehead, followed the four-eyed Taoist priest closely, and jumped forward, accompanied by the chirping of birds on the branches, the whole scene made people's hair stand on end.
The earliest record of expelling corpses is from the time of Chi You. It is said that thousands of years ago, Chi You's tribe fought with the enemy. After the war, blood flowed so much that the people in the river were in dire straits. Chi You couldn't help crying when he saw the scene of corpses strewn in the field, and ordered his military adviser:
I have been fighting for many years, and I cannot let the soldiers die in a foreign land under any circumstances. Can I send these corpses back to their hometowns, so that their souls can return to their hometowns and their fallen leaves can return to their roots?
The military strategist nodded and called for a wizard. This wizard had great magical powers and put yellow paper on the heads of the corpses. After a burst of spells, the corpses suddenly stood up and followed the wizard's spells and walked forward, all the way to their hometown.
Taoist Priest Four's lazy words echoed outside the wilderness, and Mo Fei followed Taoist Four Eyes' side.
"Taoist Master Four Eyes, you always said that you are a direct disciple of the Maoshan Sect, so I wonder if I can see the true secret book of the Maoshan Sect?" Murphy said: "It doesn't matter how much it costs, fifty thousand oceans.
, one hundred thousand ocean...as long as you can ask, then I dare to give you the money."
"Fifty thousand oceans, one hundred thousand oceans..." Taoist priest Simu swallowed hard, but immediately shook his head and said: "Don't have any illusions. How can the treasures passed down by our ancestors be measured by money? I, Simu,
Although I am greedy for money, I also know what money I can take and what money I cannot take."
"If I dare to accept this money from you and then reveal the Maoshan Taoism, after I die, I will be driven into the Nine Nether Hells by the Patriarch, and I will never be reincarnated?"
"Taoist Master, I'm here with Meng Lang." Mo Fei narrowed his eyes and said, "But what do you mean, is there really an underworld in this world?"
"Of course there is the underworld."
"Are there still ten palaces of Yama, Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, Emperor Fengdu, and Emperor Tianqi Rensheng?" Mo Fei asked immediately.
"I have only seen Yin Cha, and sometimes I can use the magic of inviting gods to ask the ancestors to help subdue demons and monsters. As for the Ten Palaces of Yama, I don't know... And the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, the Emperor Fengdu, the Emperor Tianqi Rensheng and other immortal gods, even more
Don't mention it." Taoist priest Simu said.
"Where is the Heavenly Court? I heard that the founder of the Maoshan Sect, Sanmao Zhenjun, is a priest of the Heavenly Court."
"The underworld hasn't figured it out, let alone the heaven. It seems that no one has contacted the heaven after Liu Bowen cut off the dragon vein..."
Taoist Priest Simu was speaking, his eyes suddenly focused, his aura suddenly changed, his lips murmured a few times, and he said to Mo Fei through sound transmission:
