Chapter 489: Chapter 485: Encounter with the Old Daoist Again (Votes for the Month) Chapter 489: Chapter 485: Encounter with the Old Daoist Again (Votes for the Month) “Your Excellency, your generous hand, is indeed compassionate.” Shen Luo, if he bought this fish, would plan to release, he stepped forward and bowed, indicating his appreciation for the scholar.
“Once, I was also like a fish on a cutting board, at the rcy of others, it’s just an act of empathy. After all… it is my undeniable… responsibility,” said the middle-aged scholar lightly.
Shen Luo’s face was startled, what does this scholar an?
The middle-aged scholar did not seem to want to explain any further to Shen Luo, he sighed, turned, and walked away.
The young fisherman watched the back of the middle-aged scholar, his eyes flicked and he hurriedly walked away with his fishing gear.
Without any thrill, the onlookers left one after another.
Shen Luo did not move. When the crowd had dispersed completely, he took out his hand which he had held behind his back.
Between his fingers, he was twirling a golden scale, belonged to the middle-aged scholar who had bought the fish. He had used his mana to secretly take this object from the fisherman’s arms.
However, he also put in ten taels of silver, so he didn’t take it for nothing.
“This can’t be wrong, these are dragon scales!” He attached the gold scales to the center of his brow, carefully sensing it, a sharp glance flickered in his eyes, he murmured.
These were not only dragon scales, but there was also a faint trace of Yin Qi entwined on the scales.
“This scholar is sowhat strange, follow him and see what happens.” Shen Luo looked upward in the direction where the scholar was going, his figure flashed and he followed.
A figure rushed out of a nearby alley. If Shen Luo didn’t move, the figure would crash right into him.
Shen Luo glanced at the figure, used so spinning force with his foot, and shifted to the side to dodge. He just barely avoided the person but bumped into the object in their hands.
With a clatter, the wine bottle in the person’s hand fell to the ground, shattered to pieces, and a rich aroma of wine was released.
“My wined aged for a hundred days! You bastard, not looking where you’re running into. How dare you bump into this Daoist!” The person in the grey robe was an old Daoist. Seeing his wine bottle smashed, he pointed at Shen Luo and cursed angrily.
Shen Luo frowned, about to speak, when his eyes suddenly lit up and he bowed, “Master, it’s you! It’s been a long ti since we have t.”
This elder Daoist was none other than the fortune-telling monk who had instructed him to find the Thousand-Year Spirit Milk at the foot of Hundred Flower Mountain.
Seeing his behavior, this master fortune-teller has taken on another identity.
“Who are you?” The Grey Robe Elder Dao seed bewildered by Shen Luo’s gesture, his face reflecting confusion.
“Does the master not rember ? The last ti we parted at the foot of Hundred Flower Mountain in Tangqiu County. It’s surprising and unexpected that we et here today, ” Shen Luo said with a smile.
He spent a long ti looking for this man in TangQiu County City that day. He was disappointed that he couldn’t find him then, but now to et him here today, his heart filled with joy and surprise, he imdiately put aside the matter of tracking the middle-aged scholar.
“Oh, I rember now, it’s you. Did the divination I gave you that day co true?” The Elder Dao looked at Shen Luo with a pair of scrutinizing eyes, and quickly rembered him.
“Master’s divination was spot on. With your kind guidance, I was able to locate the object I was seeking,” Shen Luo thanked him.
“My fortune-telling is passed down from the ancient ability of Guiguzi. It is indeed accurate and excellent. However, your face looks more unhealthy compared to the last ti we t. Could it be that the object you found didn’t work?” Grey Robed Elder Dao chuckled proudly at himself, then looked at Shen Luo’s face and exclaid in surprise.
“The Master has keen vision, discerning my condition at a single glance,” said Shen Luo with a sigh.
He then glanced at the Grey Robe Elder Dao attentively, about to say sothing.
A few big n, with staves in their hands, charged out of the alley.
“Found him! The wine thief is right here!”
“Surround him quickly! Don’t let him run off.”
The n were yelling and surrounded the Elder Dao.
“Damn it, I was busy talking and forgot to run! Boy, I did your fortune once. I need you to cover for this ti.” The Grey Robe Elder Dao slapped his forehead in annoyance and hid behind Shen Luo.
“What are you fellows doing?” Shen Luo had a favor to ask from the old Daoist and imdiately stepped forward and addressed the big n.
“Who are you? This old Daoist is audacious and stole our wine in broad daylight. We’re going to catch him and take him to the officials. Others don’t need to poke their nose in this business.” A brawny and solid man spoke angrily.
“Eh, stealing and thief sounds so bad. Isn’t the wine brewed for people to drink? Besides, you guys left all that good wine exposed to the sun in the yard. It slls so good, who could resist it?” The Grey Robe Elder Dao stuck his head out from behind Shen Luo’s back and argued loudly.
“Damn it! Daring to quibble!” The burly man was furious and wanted to grab the Elder Dao.
“Gentlen, isn’t this all about a jar of wine? Let’s not be violent. Tell how much the wine costs, I’ll pay for him.” Shen Luo, who was amused by the Elder Dao, stopped the burly man.
“Who’ll pay for him? This old Daoist stole one jar of wine, aged for a hundred days, and broke three other jars of wine in our wine shop. All together it’s fifteen taels of silver.” The burly man looked at Shen Luo and said.
“Take it.” Shen Luo took out a piece of silver and threw it over, which weighed not less than twenty taels.
“This young master is generous, for your sake, we’ll let it go this ti, let’s go.” The burly man weighed the piece of silver, waved his hand, and walked off with his n.
“Young man, thanks for this. I happened to pass that wine shop and was attracted by the strong aroma of the wine. I didn’t have any money on at that ti, and I had no choice but to enter and take one jar. I didn’t expect that they would find out! Haha, I was lucky to see you.” The Grey Robe Elder Dao breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Shen Luo.
“It’s nothing. Since the master has tight finances, take these silvers for now.” Shen Luo took out a lump of silver weighing fifty taels and handed it to the Elder Dao.
“Then I won’t stand on ceremony, but I can’t just take your silver. You are ailing, let tell your fortune again. You can treat this silver as the fee for the divination, can you agree to that?” The Grey Robe Elder Daoist replied.
“I’m at your disposal. Please undertake this burden, Master,” Shen Luo, eager, replied.
However, it wasn’t suitable to divine fortunes here. Elder Dao promptly pulled Shen Luo to a nearby quiet teahouse, took out his bamboo tube and divination coins, and began to calculate.
The Elder Dao drew a picture and frowned slightly without speaking. He seed to have encountered so difficulty and rattled the tube again for a second divination.
Seeing this, Shen Luo didn’t disturb him.
But after finishing this one, The Elder Dao remained silent, and then calculated once again. Only then did he cease.
“Elder, what’s my fate?” Seeing the Elder Dao stopped, Shen Luo hastily asked.
“Weird! I have not encountered such a strange divination in many years. My Sky Gang God calculation couldn’t determine your fate,” the Grey Robe Elder Dao showed a surprised expression.
Upon hearing this, Shen Luo’s brows twitched in anxiety.
“Young master, don’t worry. Although I couldn’t calculate your life and death, just now, having connected three observations, I’ve discerned so secrets. You just need to do as I tell you, and you will certainly be able to turn calamity into a blessing, and break through the current deadlock,” the Grey Robe Elder Dao said.
“Kindly guide ,” Shen Luo bowed.
“From the divination, you will need to do three things in the future. The first is to et a crying woman, and you need to stick this talisman on her back.” The Grey Robe Elder Dao took out a yellow spiritual charm from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Luo.
