Chapter 1677 Taicheng
In Taicheng, Lu Province, night falls.
Xia Ruofei found a remote place outside Tai City and landed the flying boat.
After he put away the flying boat, he walked to the nearby main road, beckoned and stopped a taxi.
"Master, go to Tianfeng Hotel." Xia Ruofei said after getting into the car.
"Okay! Please fasten your seat belts!" said the taxi driver, then deftly pressed the meter and started the car.
The taxi driver chatted with Xia Ruofei while driving: "Sir, it's your first time to Taicheng, right?"
Xia Ruofei was sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed, he nodded slightly when he heard the words and said, "Yeah!"
"Come to Mount Taishan?" the taxi driver asked with a smile.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "I have this idea."
"It seems that you are traveling on your own." The taxi driver said with a smile, "If you want me to say that it is more comfortable to travel on your own, you are rushing to the market with the tour group every day, and you can't see any good scenery!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and did not speak.
The taxi driver glanced at Xia Ruofei from the rearview mirror in the car, maybe he felt that the passenger was not good at words, so he didn't say anything anymore.
But at this moment, Xia Ruofei suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Master, it's time to change lanes. You have to turn left at the traffic light ahead. If you don't change lanes, you will enter the solid line area..."
The taxi driver was stunned and couldn't help but look back at Xia Ruofei.
He originally thought that Xia Ruofei was looking at the navigation on the mobile phone, but he found that Xia Ruofei was empty-handed and even closed his eyes.
In fact, after Xia Ruofei landed in Taicheng, he used his mobile phone to navigate to see where he was and the route to the Tianfeng Hotel.
With the memory of a Jindan stage cultivator, this simple route planning will naturally be remembered after reading it.
The taxi driver saw that Xia Ruofei was a first-time visitor to Taicheng. After some side-talking, he thought about taking a detour, but Xia Ruofei suddenly saw it through.
Before entering the solid line area, the taxi driver reluctantly changed lanes and entered the left-turn lane, then smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "This road has serious traffic jams. In fact, it is a little farther to go straight, but it is more economical. time."
When Xia Ruofei looked at the navigation just now, he found that the route planned by the navigation was green along the way, and there was no congestion at all.
But he didn't say anything, just said lightly: "It doesn't matter, just follow the normal route!"
The taxi driver could only say angrily: "Okay!"
Along the way, the taxi driver secretly observed Xia Ruofei through the rear-view mirror of the car from time to time. Although Xia Ruofei has been closing his eyes and resting, he felt a sense of emptiness in his heart for no reason. He felt that the passenger seemed to be a little evil, and he no longer dared to deliberately detour. If so, just follow the normal route.
More than half an hour later, the taxi drove to the entrance of Tianfeng Hotel and stopped slowly.
"Sir, here we are!" said the taxi driver.
At this time, Xia Ruofei opened his eyes, nodded slightly, and said, "Oh! It's hard work, how much is it?"
The taxi driver glanced at the meter and said, "The total is 65 yuan. Do you want cash or scan the code?"
Xia Ruofei glanced at the meter and said, "Is this price wrong! It's only about 35 kilometers in total, and it's about 40 yuan at most!"
Although Xia Ruofei closed his eyes and rested his mind all the way, he naturally had an accurate perception of how far the car had driven.
In addition, the local taxi prices in Taicheng are posted in the car.
Charges within two kilometers are based on the starting price of 6 yuan. After two kilometers, a charge of 0.5 yuan will be charged for every 500 meters.
There are virtually no traffic jams on the way, and no extra tolls.
After a little calculation, you can see that the price is about forty yuan.
And now the price of a taxi will be estimated in the navigation. When Xia Ruofei checked the navigation before getting in the car,
The estimated price displayed was forty yuan. Although he just glanced at it, he still remembered it clearly.
This taxi driver didn't expect a foreign tourist to be so smart. In fact, his meter was manipulated. There is a hidden button under the steering wheel. After pressing it, it will jump much faster than normal.
His last order was also an out-of-town tourist, so he pressed the button, and he hadn't returned to the original state when he received Xia Ruofei.
Although the taxi driver on the road felt that Xia Ruofei seemed a little evil, he felt that an outsider, even if he knew the route through navigation, could not be so sensitive to the price, so he simply ignored it.
Unexpectedly, Xia Ruofei directly questioned the price as soon as it came out.
The taxi driver's expression changed slightly and said, "Sir, this is what the meter shows, and I also follow the route you said. I often run this road, but it's more than 35 kilometers! This price is no problem! "
Xia Ruofei is naturally not bad for money, but this does not mean that he is willing to be fooled by a taxi driver.
He said lightly: "How far is this road, you can find out by opening the navigation and taking a look. Is it 35 kilometers, don't you know it yourself?"
"How do you say this?" The taxi driver naturally wouldn't admit it, "Sir, I'm a regular taxi, and I pay by the meter. You're a bit of a mess!"
"Am I messing around?" Xia Ruofei couldn't help laughing and said, "Master, if your meter is faulty, please repair it as soon as possible! I can pay you at the normal price, but don't just because I'm a foreigner. Think about slaughtering passengers. Taicheng is a famous tourist city, and taxis are equivalent to the city's window and business card. Don't smear Taicheng!"
In fact, Taicheng is very small, and the taxi just now happened to be taking guests to the outer suburbs. If he hadn't met Xia Ruofei, he would have returned to the city empty.
But he was thinking of taking a detour and playing tricks on the meter again. He was really insatiable.
Xia Ruofei said it euphemistically. In fact, he also saw that most of the meter was passively manipulated. Many news reported that the taxi driver changed the meter.
After listening to that, the taxi driver couldn't help but turn into anger and anger, and his tone became a lot colder: "Young man, be careful! You are a foreigner in Taicheng. It's better to pretend to be confused. Pretend to be confused, you don’t have a lot of money in total, why don’t you find yourself unhappy! Don’t you want to be happy when you travel?”
"Are you threatening me?" Xia Ruofei couldn't help but be amused when he heard the words, "Master, I won't tell you that much, let me ask you one last time, how much are you going to charge this time? If it doesn't work, I'll call Yunguan to complain. already."
The taxi driver seemed to feel that the dignity of a local person had been trampled on, and he said viciously, "You are going to ruin my job! Young man, if you have the ability, file a complaint! Cutting people's fortunes is like killing parents! If my job is smashed, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get out of our Taicheng!"
At this time, the security guard at the entrance of the hotel saw that the taxi did not drop off after it stopped, but it did not drive away. He couldn't help but came over to check, and knocked on the window.
Xia Ruofei didn't want to entangle with a taxi driver, so he pressed the window and said to the security guard, "Bring your manager Sun Xiao, and you will tell him that I am a friend of Chen Gongzi, and he will know."
This Tianfeng Hotel is an industry of Tianyimen in the secular world, and it is also an industry closest to Tianyimen.
Therefore, Tianfeng Hotel is actually a contact point of Tianyimen. Some monks who are not familiar with Tianyimen come to visit, and the first stop is here.
And that Sun Xiao, the outer disciple of Tianyimen, was specially responsible for receiving practitioners.
Of course, Chen Xuan told Xia Ruofei in advance.
At that time, he warmly invited Xia Ruofei to go to Tianyimen as a guest, and naturally he should inform Xia Ruofei in detail how to contact him at any time.
This manager Sun Xiao has a special status in Tianfeng Hotel and is not responsible for any specific business, but many times he has to listen to the general manager of the hotel, and the employees below also vaguely know that Sun Xiao is in the hotel. status.
Therefore, when the security guard heard this, his attitude immediately became a lot more polite, and he quickly said: "Okay, wait a moment..."
After he finished speaking, he immediately said on the walkie-talkie: "Manager Sun, someone is looking for you at the door. He said that you are Chen Gongzi's friend..."
The walkie-talkie rang, and a voice came: "I'll be there soon!"
The taxi driver patted the steering wheel and said angrily, "Will you give me money? Let me tell you, you've already delayed my work, and it won't be as simple as 65..."
"Shut up!" Xia Ruofei said coldly.
Although he only exuded a hint of momentum, it made the taxi driver feel like he was falling into an ice cave, and the blood all over his body was frozen.
He, who was fierce just now, was so frightened by Xia Ruofei's simple words that he didn't even dare to speak out.
At this time, the taxi driver also regretted it a little. He obviously felt that the foreign tourist he was pulling today was not a good person!
After a while, Xia Ruofei saw a man in a suit and leather shoes, about thirty-five or six years old, trotting out of the hotel.
The security guard was still standing next to the taxi. Seeing this, he waved and shouted loudly, "Manager Sun, this way!"
The middle-aged man in a suit followed the reputation and walked quickly towards the taxi.
Xia Ruofei also opened the car door and got out of the car, the taxi driver opened his mouth, but finally did not dare to speak.
Sun Xiao quickly came to this side, glanced at Xia Ruofei, and asked cautiously, "Which friend of Chen Gongzi are you?"
Xia Ruofei smiled slightly and looked at the security guard.
Sun Xiao hurriedly said to the security guard: "I'll handle it here, you go first!"
"Yes! Manager Sun!" the security guard said quickly.
Xia Ruofei then took a few steps away from the taxi, then flipped his hand and took out a business card from the spiritual map space and handed it to Sun Xiao.
Xia Ruofei didn't speak, just looked at Sun Xiao with a smile.
This business card was left to Xia Ruofei by Chen Xuan, and the practitioners used the business card to keep pace with the times.
However, this business card is very well-crafted, and a special metal wire is embedded in it, so it is impossible to forge it.
Sun Xiao was shocked when he saw the business card.
He took the business card with both hands and looked at it carefully, then immediately returned the business card with both hands, and respectfully shouted, "I've seen senior!"
Xia Ruofei didn't know that there were actually three kinds of business cards for Chen Xuan, and the one he gave to Xia Ruofei was the rarest one, usually only for very important guests or very good friends.
Therefore, as soon as Sun Xiao saw this business card, he immediately realized the dignity of the guest in front of him.
In fact, within Tianyimen, Sun Xiao is only an outer disciple, and his cultivation is even more insignificant.
In terms of seniority, he and Chen Xuan are also two generations apart. Xia Ruofei can get such a business card, and naturally he is with Chen Xuan's peers.
Therefore, although Xia Ruofei is still much younger than Sun Xiao after changing into Xia's appearance, Sun Xiao still respectfully calls Xia Ruofei "senior" and does not dare to neglect at all.
Xia Ruofei took the business card and put it into the spiritual map space.
This time Sun Xiao also saw it clearly. He immediately understood that this young "senior" must have a storage magic weapon, and he couldn't help but pay more attention to it - in today's cultivation world, storage magic weapons are rare, some The relatively poor Jindan cultivators are not necessarily available. As for the cultivators in the Qi refining stage, it is even rarer to have storage magic weapons.
"Please inform Brother Chen Xuan as soon as possible, and say that summer will come to visit." Xia Ruofei said lightly.
"Yes! Disciple will report immediately!" Sun Xiao said quickly, "Senior please stay at Tianfeng Hotel to rest first, as soon as there is news, the disciple will report to you immediately!"
Although Xia Ruofei has the highest-level business card, Sun Xiao is not sure that Chen Xuan will meet Xia Ruofei, and even he does not know whether Chen Xuan is in Tianyimen, so he dare not speak too hard.
Xia Ruofei nodded. At this time, the corner of his eyes swept the taxi, and the foot he just took was retracted.
Xia Ruofei said, "Oh! I have something to help you deal with."
"Yes, senior, please order!" Sun Xiao said quickly.
So, Xia Ruofei recounted what happened when he just took a taxi.
Sun Xiao listened and listened, and his expression became a little weird - he didn't expect this "senior" to be so down-to-earth. …
But Sun Xiao also knows that many seniors in the cultivation world have some quirks, and maybe this senior has a sense of life in the game world?
So he didn't dare to ask more questions.
In addition, Sun Xiao also felt a little disgraceful when he heard that the distinguished guest of the young master was actually slaughtered by a taxi driver in Taicheng.
This is simply a slap in the face!
Therefore, Sun Xiao could not wait to kill the taxi driver with a sword.
After Xia Ruofei finished speaking, Sun Xiao said quickly: "Senior, leave this matter to the disciples! I promise to give you a satisfactory answer!"
Tianyimen has a huge industry in the secular world, especially in Taicheng, and their influence in the secular world is also very large.
When dealing with such small things, it is naturally a matter of one sentence.
Xia Ruofei said lightly: "Just give him a small lesson, don't overdo it. But you must let him understand that his behavior is to smear Taicheng, and... Always take the right path, relying on crooked ways not long term.”
"Yes! This disciple must handle it properly according to the instructions of the predecessors!" Sun Xiao said with a slight bow.
