If Shen Luo bought the fish, he was planning to set it free. He was quite impressed by the scholar, so he stepped forward and cupped his hands. "Your Excellency is so generous. You are really merciful."
"I used to be like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others. I just feel the same way. Besides … I didn't fulfill … my responsibility, "the middle-aged scholar said lightly.
Shen Luo was startled. What did this scholar mean?
The middle-aged scholar seemed to have no intention of talking to Shen Luo. He sighed, turned around and walked away.
The young fisherman looked at the middle-aged scholar's back and rolled his eyes. He picked up the fishing gear next to him and walked away in a hurry.
There was no more drama to watch, so the onlookers walked away.
Shen Luo didn't move. When everyone was gone, he took out the hand behind his back.
He was twirling a golden scale between his fingers. It was the item that the middle-aged scholar used to buy the fish. He secretly took it from the fisherman's arms with his magic power.
However, he also put ten taels of silver in it. He didn't take it for free.
"It can't be wrong. This is a dragon scale!" He put the golden scale between his eyebrows and carefully sensed it. A sharp light flashed in his eyes as he murmured.
This was not only a dragon scale, but also a very light Yin Qi entwined around the scale.
"This scholar is a little strange. Let's follow him and see." Shen Luo raised his head and looked in the direction of the scholar. His figure flashed and chased after him.
A figure rushed out from a side alley in a panic and was about to crash into him.
Shen Luo glanced and used his feet to dodge to the side. He barely avoided the person, but still touched the item in the other person's hand.
With a clang, the wine jar in the person's hand fell to the ground and smashed into pieces. A strong wine aroma spread out.
"My Hundred Days of Drunkenness! Where did this little brat come from? How dare he bump into me! "The person was an old Taoist in a gray robe. When he saw the wine jar break, he immediately pointed at Shen Luo and scolded him.
Shen Luo's face darkened. When he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly lit up. He cupped his hands and bowed. "Master, it's you! Long time no see. "
This grey-robed old Daoist was none other than the fortune-telling monk who had guided him to look for the thousand-year Spiritual Milk at the foot of the Hundred Flowers Mountain.
From the looks of it, this fortune-teller had changed his identity again.
"You are?" The grey-robed Taoist was stunned by Shen Luo and looked confused.
"Master, do you not remember me? That day, we parted at the foot of Hundred Flowers Mountain in Tangqiu County. Who would have thought that we would meet here today? "Shen Luo said with a smile.
He had been looking for this man in Tangqiu County for a long time. Unfortunately, he hadn't been able to find him. He hadn't expected to meet him here today. He was pleasantly surprised. He immediately forgot about the pursuit of the middle-aged scholar.
"Oh, I remember now. It's you. Is the divination I gave you that day accurate?" The gray-robed old Taoist looked at Shen Luo and quickly remembered him.
"Master's divination is divine. According to your guidance, I have found the thing I was looking for," Shen Luo thanked him.
"My fortune-telling teacher is Gui Guzi. So, my divination is naturally very accurate. But, Young Master, your condition is more serious than the last time we met. Could it be that the thing you found didn't work?" The grey-robed old Taoist smiled proudly. Then, he looked at Shen Luo's complexion and said in surprise.
"Master, you are very perceptive. You can see my condition at a glance," Shen Luo sighed and said.
He then looked at the grey-robed old Taoist and was about to say something.
A few tall and burly men with clubs in their hands rushed out of the alley.
"Found him. The wine thief is here!"
"Quickly surround him. Don't let him run away."
Several people shouted and surrounded the grey-robed old Taoist.
"Damn it! I was so busy talking that I forgot to run away! Young man, for the sake of your fortune telling, you have to save me this time. "The grey-robed old Taoist patted his forehead in annoyance. Then, he hid behind Shen Luo.
"What are you doing?" Shen Luo had something to ask of the old Taoist. So, he immediately stepped forward and asked the few big men.
"Who are you? This old Taoist is very bold. He dared to steal wine from our winery in broad daylight. We are going to arrest him and bring him to the officials. Don't meddle in other people's business, "a big and sturdy man said angrily.
"Hey, thief. That sounds terrible. Isn't wine brewed for people to drink? Moreover, your winery has put so many good wines in the courtyard to bask in the sun. The fragrance is so strong. How can you bear it?" The grey-robed old Taoist stuck his head out from behind Shen Luo and shouted.
"Bastard! How dare you twist words and force logic! "The big man was furious. He wanted to arrest the thief.
"You guys, he just took a jar of wine. There is no need to be rough. How much is the wine? I will pay for him." Shen Luo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. So, he stopped the big man.
"You will pay for him? This old Taoist stole a jar of Hundred Days Drunk. He also broke the other three jars of wine in the winery. The total is fifteen taels of silver. "The big man looked at Shen Luo and said.
"Here you are." Shen Luo took out a silver ingot and threw it over. It was more than twenty taels of silver.
"This young master is very generous. For your sake, I will let this matter go. Let's go." The big man weighed the silver ingot in his hand and waved his hand to lead the others away.
"Young man, thank you very much. I just passed by the winery and smelled the fragrance of the wine. I didn't have any money, so I went in and stole a jar. I didn't expect to be discovered! Haha, fortunately I met you. "The old Taoist in grey was relieved and thanked Shen Luo.
"It's nothing. Since you are embarrassed, take this silver ingot and use it." Shen Luo took out a silver ingot worth fifty taels of silver and handed it to the old Taoist.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. However, I can't take your silver for free. Your body is unwell. Let me read your fortune again. How about this silver be divination gold?" The gray-robed old Daoist said.
"I can't ask for more. Then I will have to trouble you." Shen Luo had the same intention.
However, it was not easy to tell fortune here. The old Taoist in grey immediately pulled Shen Luo into a quiet teahouse nearby. He took out a bamboo tube and copper coins and started to tell the fortune.
The old Taoist frowned and didn't say anything. It seemed that he had encountered a difficult problem. He shook the tube and told the fortune again.
Shen Luo saw this and didn't disturb him.
However, after the divination, the gray-robed old Daoist remained silent. He divined again before stopping.
"Senior, how is my fortune?" Shen Luo saw the old Taoist stop and asked hurriedly.
"Strange fortune! I haven't seen such a strange fortune for many years. My Heavenly Divinatory Divination can't see your fortune clearly. "The old Taoist in grey was surprised.
Shen Luo heard this and couldn't help but frown.
"Young master, don't worry. Although I didn't tell your fortune clearly, I have seen through several mysteries. You only need to do as I say. You will certainly be able to turn misfortune into blessing and break out of this predicament." The old Taoist in grey said.
"Senior, please enlighten me." Shen Luo cupped his hands and said.
"From the fortune, you need to do three things. The first is to see a crying woman. You need to stick this talisman on her back." The old Taoist in grey took out a yellow talisman from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Luo.
