Acting for the gods

Chapter 702 The Haunted Villa
At noon, Jiang Fan and Bu Tonglin had lunch at Uncle Jiu's place, and then led by Uncle Jiu to the Taoist Association of Hong Kong Island.

Unlike Bu Tonglin's imagination of being located in the mountains and rivers, the headquarters of the Taoist Association is located in Kowloon, and it is still in an office building.

Looking at the Taoist Association, which is like a company, Bu Tonglin was surprised: "The Taoist Association is too advanced with the times!"

He originally thought that the Taoist Association should be in a gymnasium deep in the mountains and old forests, where a group of practitioners of immortality and Taoism sat and discussed the Tao, but after looking around, except for a few older people who were dressed in retro styles, most of them were in suits Leather shoes, those who didn't know thought they had joined some big company.

Uncle Jiu said with a smile: "The so-called great hermit hides in the city, and Taoism is not static. If the waves wash away the sand, if you can't follow the trend of the times, you will only be eliminated in the end!"

"Uncle Jiu is right. Man follows heaven, heaven follows Tao, and Tao follows nature. Practice is to conform to nature. The times are developing. Only by trying new things can we keep pace with the times and not be swallowed by the tide of the times. "

Jiang Fan came here this time just to identify the door and see if there is a suitable task.

"Uncle Jiu, are these two your apprentices? Why haven't I seen them before?"

At this time, a middle-aged Taoist priest who looked similar to Daoist Qianhe walked over. He was a few years younger than Uncle Jiu, with short and neat hair, wearing a dark blue long mandarin jacket, and looked upright.

"I'm not so lucky. Afan is a disciple of Wudang School."

Uncle Jiu introduced: "As for Abu..."

Bu Tonglin said with a smile: "I don't have any sects, so I will learn more from the boss."

"Afan came to join the club this time, and I am his guarantor."

Uncle Jiu then introduced to Jiang Fan: "This is Daoist Zhong Fabai. He learned art at the age of five, became famous at the age of 16, and opened a grocery store at the age of 20. There is a place where Daoist Zhong Fabai lives, with a radius of twenty miles. They all have to immigrate."

"Uncle Jiu, stop laughing at me!"

Lin Jiu's seniority is relatively high, so Zhong Fabai also called him Uncle Jiu.

As for Uncle Jiu's introduction, it was a joke that Zhong Fabai had drunk too much.

However, Zhong Fabai did have real skills, and was one of the eight masters of the Taoist Association.

Today, there are only 26 official members of the Taoist Association of Hong Kong Island, most of them are human masters, there are only eight earth masters, and only one celestial master.

Zhong Fabai belongs to the early stage of the earth master, and Jiu Shu belongs to the peak earth master, there is still a big gap between the two.

In fact, Jiang Fan has now recognized Zhong Fabai, and knows that the other party is the Taoist priest who was killed by Jin McKee and Meng Chao in "The Devil's Office".

Jiang Fan's arrival solved the ghost king Issey Miyake in advance, and to a certain extent, it also saved Zhong Fabai's life.

"Master Zhong, look up to me for a long time."

Jiang Fan said politely.

Zhong Fabai saw that Jiang Fan was tall, full of energy and blood, and broke through to the realm of human master at a young age, so he couldn't help but praise: "You are young and promising!"

He thought it was Uncle Jiu who brought his disciples to learn more, but he didn't expect to bring Jiang Fan to join the club.

With the development of the times, the aura is gradually thinning, and there are fewer and fewer real practitioners, and it is becoming more and more difficult. The Xuanmen Association has not come to newcomers for several years!
Now seeing a rising star, Zhong Fabai is more and more pleasing to the eye, but he has just accepted a task, so it is inconvenient to stay longer, so he just gave Jiang Fan an address, saying that he can go to communicate when he is free.

After Zhong Fabai left, Uncle Jiu took Jiang Fan to register. The process was not difficult. He just entered a piece of Jiang Fan's basic information in the association's computer database.

After learning that Jiang Fan had become a human teacher at the age of 17, it caused a storm. Many old people in the association came to watch, just like watching giant pandas.

"Afan, are you a human teacher?"

Among the crowd, a mature beauty said in surprise.

The person who spoke was Zhang Xiaoling who had fought side by side with Jiang Fan.

She wasn't surprised by Jiang Fan's strength, but felt that Jiang Fan was hiding something.

"Sister Xiaoling, you're here too!"

Seeing Zhang Xiaoling, Jiang Fan wasn't too surprised. Zhang Xiaoling is an Earth Master, so he is naturally qualified to join the Taoist Association.

Uncle Jiu glanced at the two of them: "Afan, do you know Xiaoling?"

Zhang Xiaoling said generously: "The Xinjian building was haunted before, and Afan and I solved it together."

"I see!"

Uncle Jiu nodded.

He had heard about the haunting of the Xinjian Building, but Zhang Xiaoling had taken over the task, so it was not easy for him to intervene.

They chatted for a while, and Uncle Jiu left beforehand.

Knowing that Jiang Fan wanted to accept the mission, Zhang Xiaoling brought Jiang Fan and Bu Tonglin with him to the task bar in the mission hall.

I saw a scrolling data panel playing the task list in turn.

Zhang Xiaoling explained: "Afan, if you want to claim that task, you can go to the special window. After accepting the task, the task on the data panel will disappear."

"After receiving the task, you have one month to complete the task. If it times out or the task fails, the task will be placed on the data panel again."

"The tasks on the data panel are roughly divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D."

"Level D is the lowest, usually some ghosts and evil spirits."

"Class A is the highest. It has only appeared once so far. It has been many years ago."

"Like the ghost king in the newly built building, it belongs to the B-level difficulty."

"After completing the task, you can get the corresponding point rewards. These points can be exchanged for various items or money within the association..."

Zhang Xiaoling patiently introduced.

The Taoist Association is a non-governmental organization supported by high-level officials in Hong Kong Island, so they can get corresponding rewards for completing tasks.

It's not that those high-level people are kind, but that they are afraid of death.

If it wasn't for the Xuanmen Association to suppress evil spirits everywhere these years, I don't know how much trouble would have caused it.

Those high-level people are in high positions and have gained both fame and fortune. They don't want to die in the hands of evil spirits, so they allocate funds to support the Taoist Association.

Jiang Fan is not interested in the operation mode of the Taoist Association, he is more concerned about the tasks related to weirdness.

After looking at the data interface, Jiang Fan found that there are a total of fifteen tasks on the task panel.

Among them, there are two haunted houses, three strange places on the isolated island, and some are urban rumors, such as ghost bus, midnight taxi, ghost ordering, ghost knocking on the door, hotel fairy fox and so on.

Quests are refreshed daily.

Of course, there are also some old tasks that no one has completed.

Compared with the huge Hong Kong Island, the more than [-] official members of the Xuanmen Association, even if their disciples are added, it is impossible to cover everything.

It is not easy to maintain relative stability!
Jiang Fan looked around, selected a task of a haunted villa, and went to the window to receive the task.

But Zhang Xiaoling said that he would accompany Jiang Fan.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Bu Tonglin said decisively that he forgot to turn off the gas at home, and went back to Ciyun Mountain alone.

Only Zhang Xiaoling with eager eyes was left with Jiang Fan.
