"Taoist priest, you are really a living immortal. I was rude before, please come in and have a seat!" Seeing that the fire in the backyard was under control, he breathed a sigh of relief and then hurriedly invited the white-robed Taoist priest into the house respectfully.
"Old immortal, you are really resourceful. I would like to invite you to my house to have a look at the Feng Shui!"
"Taoist priest, my son is about to take part in the imperial examination. Could you please predict his future?"
"Taoist priest, my daughter is 23 years old this year and is not married yet. Can you predict where her Mr. Right is?"
The other onlookers also showed respect and rushed to the white-robed Taoist priest, forming a big circle around him.
Shen Luo came down from upstairs, put a small piece of silver on the counter, and strode out without looking at the white-robed Taoist priest.
The fire in the backyard did not start for no reason. When the white-robed old Daoist priest was using the copper coin for divination, a sneaky person outside the backyard threw a ball of fire in and ignited the pile of firewood in the yard.
He had something to do now and did not care about other things. He was too lazy to expose this kind of Jianghu swindler.
After leaving the Red Fragrance Restaurant, Shen Luo went straight to a nearby inn to stay.
During the day, people came and went everywhere in the county town. It was not a good time to look for the Millennium Milk, so he planned to start looking at night.
Shen Luo booked a good room and told the waiter not to disturb him. He sat down on the bed and took the small green bag from his waist.
"Whoosh", a purple shadow shot out and stopped on his shoulder. It was the Shadow Gu.
"Little Purple, I am afraid I will have to rely on your sense of smell to find something at night." Shen Luo stretched out his hand and touched the Shadow Gu's head, and said.
The purple lizard saw Shen Luo's finger and did not dodge. Instead, it moved its head over obediently. Obviously, it had been completely subdued.
This Shadow Gu was the method he had prepared. According to the dream realm jade slip, although the Thousand Year Spirit Milk was sealed in a large rock, the Shadow Gu's sense of smell was extremely sensitive and should be able to smell it. He didn't need to dig the rock to check.
The only worry was that this Shadow Gu needed to smell a scent and remember it before it could follow the trail. He had no way to get some Thousand Year Spiritual Milk for it to smell.
Moreover, Gu worms were different from demonic beasts. They had very low intelligence, and he couldn't use words to describe what he was looking for. It was somewhat troublesome.
"Forget it. Once the Gu Worm smells a Thousand Year Spiritual Milk, it will definitely react strangely. There's no need to worry too much about it." Shen Luo thought to himself. He cut his finger and squeezed out a drop of blood to feed the Shadow Gu. Then, he put the Shadow Gu into a small bag.
He sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to circulate his energy.
Time flew by quickly, and night fell. The bustling Tangqiu County Town quickly fell into a deep sleep, and not a sound could be heard.
Shen Luo got up and quietly left the inn. Soon, he arrived at the east side of the town.
The Thousand Year Spiritual Milk was related to his life. He didn't dare to have the slightest bit of hope. He planned to start his search from here. He planned to search all the houses that could be considered as officials.
Shen Luo looked around and quickly stopped at a courtyard with a rather high door. He quietly walked over and checked the ground in front of the door.
He also released the Shadow Gu and let it rest on his shoulder. He used his sense of smell to search.
The night passed quickly.
Because the jade slip only said that the Thousand Year Spiritual Milk was found outside the door. It didn't say whether it was outside the main door, the back door, or some other door.
Shen Luo was afraid of missing something, so he searched very carefully. He only searched thirty houses in one night.
Compared to the huge number of houses in Tangqiu County Town that needed to be searched, he only found less than one percent.
After dawn, Shen Luo couldn't continue to search by climbing over the walls and houses. He had to return to the inn.
For the next ten days, he continued to hide during the day and go out at night to investigate the situation in the town.
After ten days of hard work, he only searched ten percent of the houses in Tangqiu County Town, but he didn't find the Thousand Year Spiritual Milk.
Although Shen Luo wasn't discouraged, he was somewhat annoyed. At noon one day, he was annoyed at the inn and went to the Hundred Flowers Mountain outside the town to sightsee.
This Hundred Flowers Mountain was named because there were many flowers growing on it. There was also an ancient temple on the mountain. The scenery was quite beautiful. Many local people came here to sightsee.
Shen Luo strolled around the mountain. Looking at the green mountains, clear waters, and flowers everywhere, his mood was much better.
"Divination and fortune-telling, guide half a life's maze! Ask about the past first, I won't take a single cent! Official fortune, fortune, marriage, feng shui, there's nothing you don't know, there's nothing you can't know! " When he came down from the Hundred Flowers Mountain, a loud shout sounded. It was a stall set up at the foot of the mountain. An old monk wearing a red kasaya sat behind it. Beside him was a white cloth with the words "Divination and Fortune-Telling" written on it.
Beside the old monk stood a young novice monk. His eyes were bright and spirited. He looked quite intelligent.
Shen Luo glanced at the two of them. Just as he was about to walk over, he suddenly stopped and turned around to look at them.
Although the old monk was bald and had no beard, Shen Luo recognized him. He was the old Daoist who scammed people at the Red Fragrance Restaurant.
The young novice monk beside him was the one who set the fire outside the restaurant.
Hundred Flowers Mountain was a famous sightseeing spot in Tangqiu County. Many people came here to sightsee. These two scammers actually changed their appearances and came here.
Shen Luo was angry and amused. He was busy before and spared the two of them once. Now that he met them for the second time, they were still scamming him.
He wanted to teach them a lesson so that they would restrain themselves. He walked over.
"Bang!" A piece of silver was thrown on the table, startling the two monks.
"I am Zen Master Liao Kong. I am the 72nd successor of the ancient fortune-telling sect, Jinguang Temple. What do you want me to tell you?" The old monk saw the silver on the table and showed a greedy look. However, he immediately restrained himself and did not touch the silver. He raised his head and looked at Shen Luo.
"Nothing much. I see that Zen Master has a dignified appearance. Your cultivation must be profound. I admire you. I will be going to the capital to take the exam soon. I am here to ask for your guidance." Shen Luo smiled in his heart and said lightly.
"Sir, I don't think you are a scholar, nor are you going to take the exam." The old monk raised his eyes and looked at Shen Luo. A light flashed in his eyes and the corners of his mouth revealed an unfathomable smile as he said firmly.
"Oh, why do you say that?" Shen Luo said with a faint smile.
Before he became a cultivator, he had experienced many hardships in the secular world. He knew that these fortune-telling scammers liked to say shocking things to gain the upper hand. They wanted to establish their own image as a master and take the initiative step by step. In the end, they wanted the other party to completely trust them and hand over the money.
"This is a heavenly secret. It cannot be revealed." The old monk shook his head and said with an unfathomable look.
"Then please read my face. Let me say this first. If you are wrong, don't blame me for being hostile." Shen Luo raised his voice and said with a slight smile.
The nearby tourists heard the voice and gathered around.
"Of course. Although your complexion is good now, from your appearance, I can see that you had a serious illness when you were young. The illness lingered for a long time and almost took your life. Fortunately, you had the help of an expert and slowly got better. Am I right?" The old monk looked at Shen Luo a few times and gently tapped the table with his finger.
Shen Luo heard this and his eyes flashed with a trace of surprise. He carefully looked at the old monk, but after a long time, he could not see anything.
This person looked like an immortal, but there was no trace of magic power in his body. He was indeed an ordinary person. However, the old monk could see that he had a serious illness in the past.
"I did have a similar experience when I was young. However, the illness has been cured. I am very healthy now." Shen Luo said lightly.
