"A person's life is filled with birth, aging, sickness, and death. Although you've survived the calamity, your future is still full of calamities. If you don't have a way to resolve it, I'm afraid …" The old monk shook his head and sighed.
"What kind of calamity do I have? Please tell me clearly." Shen Luo said.
"The world of mortals is filled with thousands of tribulations. As long as one is in the midst of it, even the gods and buddhas will find it hard to escape, let alone us mortals. Little friend, you have a rosy complexion and abundant spiritual energy, but your glabella is pale. You look strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Therefore, I conclude that little friend's tribulation should be in the words' longevity 'and' fate ', am I right?"
"Strong on the outside but weak on the inside? I don't believe in life and calamity. Since you're so good at divination, why don't you tell me why I'm here?" Shen Luo was shocked, but he didn't show it on his face. He snorted and said.
"That's easy. But when I finished my apprenticeship, I set a rule that I have to collect money for my fortune-telling. You see …" The old monk showed a smile on his face.
"Hey, then you have to calculate accurately. It's not easy to take my money." Shen Luo raised his eyebrows and took out another piece of silver.
"Don't worry, esteemed guest. My master's magic is brilliant. He will definitely be able to solve your problems." The young novice monk quickly put away the two pieces of silver and said with a smile.
"I hope so." Shen Luo looked at the young monk and said.
The old monk took out a sealed bamboo tube from his bosom. With his other hand, he took out six copper coins and put them into the tube. Then, he held the tube in his bosom and murmured with a solemn expression.
After a dozen breaths, the old monk suddenly opened his eyes and shook the bamboo tube.
The sound of "Hua La La" echoed around. It was neither fast nor slow. It had a strange rhythm, but it made people feel inexplicably peaceful.
Shen Luo's eyes moved. It seemed that this old liar had some tricks up his sleeve. Not all of them were tricks.
The old monk shook nine times and opened the bamboo tube. He poured the six copper coins on the table in two rows. He looked at them carefully for a while and nodded slightly.
"Done?" Shen Luo raised his eyebrows.
"Alright, this is the Jie Hexagram. On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, look for a gap to appear. Little friend, you must be here to search for something, right? "The old monk raised his head and asked.
Shen Luo's expression stiffened. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
"The word 'Qin' means west of the city. That thing is in the west of the city. As for the word 'Liu', it doesn't mean willow wood. It should be referring to a specific location. Young friend, if you go to the west of the city and look for a place with willows, it should be there." The old monk lowered his head and continued speaking.
Shen Luo looked at the old monk in front of him. His face was gloomy, but his heart was in turmoil.
He had never told anyone about his search for the Millennium Spirit Milk. Yet, this old monk was able to divine it. Could it be that he could really divine everything?
The onlookers looked at Shen Luo's expression and knew that the old monk had made a good calculation. They all swarmed forward.
"Esteemed monk, I also have a matter that I would like you to calculate."
"Master, please give me a divination as well."
"Benefactors, thank you very much for your support. But I have a rule that I can only calculate three divinations a day. Now that the three divinations have been used up, if you want to calculate, please come back tomorrow. My good disciple, pack up and let's find a place to drink … oh no, to beg alms. " The old monk stood up and bowed to the crowd. He pulled up the white cloth of the Immortal Guide and turned around to leave.
"Master, wait for me." The young novice monk picked up the table with difficulty and chased after him.
Seeing this, the crowd did not dare to stop him. They were all disappointed.
Shen Luo looked at the two figures in the distance and only retracted his gaze when they disappeared.
"Is what this person said true or false …" He frowned and stood in the same place for a long time. Then, he turned around and returned to the city.
Night fell quickly. Shen Luo left the inn quietly again and came to the place he had been looking for last time.
This was a big mansion in the north of the city. Just as he was about to enter, the words of the old swindler appeared in his mind unconsciously.
"Forget it, I'll just go and take a look. I haven't searched the west of the city anyway." He hesitated for a moment, but still turned around and rushed to the west of the city. Soon, he came to an alley.
In the past few days, Shen Luo had already investigated every place in Tang Qiu County. This place was called Silver Willow Alley. He immediately thought of this place when he heard the words of the old fortune-teller during the day.
He looked around twice, and then he saw a courtyard with a tall and large door in the alleyway.
At this moment, the sound of the Shadow Gu came from the small bag at his waist. It was unusually urgent.
Shen Luo raised his eyebrows and hurriedly opened the small bag.
The Shadow Gu immediately jumped out and turned into a purple shadow. It did not run to the tall door, but to a small courtyard at the side. With a whoosh, it flew into it.
Shen Luo quickly followed behind him. Soon, they arrived beside a well in a vegetable garden in the courtyard.
There was a flat bluestone beside the well. It was a few inches above the ground. It was wet and covered with moss.
The Shadow Gu landed on the bluestone and crawled quickly. It made an urgent sound as if it wanted to get into the bluestone but could not find the door.
"Looking at Little Purple, could this bluestone be the door? Didn't the jade slip say it was in front of a minister's door? "Shen Luo saw this scene and was stunned.
"I know! There are still a few hundred years before the thousand-year-old milk is discovered. During this time, it is not strange that there are changes in Tang Qiu County. " He immediately realized and secretly rejoiced that he had the Shadow Gu. If he came to look for it himself, he would not find this place even if he searched for a year.
He quickly calmed down and made a gesture with both hands and pressed on the ground.
A slight muffled sound came from the ground. The ground of the vegetable garden shook slightly. The bluestone beside the well slowly rose up as if there was some force below.
After a few breaths, a large bluestone about the height of a person drilled into the ground. A big hand made of water lifted the bluestone from below.
The Shadow Gu was still lying on the bluestone. It moved up and down more excitedly as if it was looking for a gap to get in.
"Come back!" Shen Luo waved his hand and sent out a stream of water to take the Shadow Gu back. He threw it into the small bag at his waist and then moved his hand again.
A stream of water shot out from the well next to him and rolled on the bluestone, forming a whirlpool.
In the sharp sound of "chi chi", the accumulated mud and moss on the bluestone were all washed away. Soon, its original appearance was revealed.
The bluestone turned into a piece of sparkling and translucent green jade. Except for the topmost part, the rest of the jade emitted a misty green light. Compared to this, any other jadeite or agate paled in comparison.
"What kind of jade is this? It doesn't look like an ordinary object. This is normal. The stone that contains the Thousand Year Spirit Milk is not an ordinary bluestone. "Shen Luo said softly. He walked in front of the jade, put his nose close to it and sniffed.
A very light fragrance came from the bluestone. It was similar to cow's milk and goat's milk, but it was more refreshing.
"It smells the same as the Thousand Year Spirit Milk recorded in the book. It seems I found the right one." Shen Luo's eyes flashed with joy. He turned his hand and put the bluestone into his storage bracelet.
"That fortune-teller was actually right. It seems he really has a master fortune-teller!" The image of the fortune-teller appeared in his mind, and his heart thumped quickly.
Shen Luo took a deep breath and calmed his mind. He cast a spell to flatten the upturned ground. He took out a large piece of silver and put it in front of the main house of the small courtyard as compensation for taking away the Thousand Year Spirit Milk.
After doing this, he didn't continue to stay here and quickly returned to the inn.
He closed the door and windows and made a gesture.
A stream of water flew up from below and spread out, forming a square water shield that covered all parts of the room.
After doing this, Shen Luo took out the bluestone and put it on the table in the room. He looked at it carefully.
