"You don't have to be so polite, Little Brother Jin. These gold and silver are nothing to me. Could you please tell me in detail how your uncle met the ghost?" Shen Luo asked.
"No problem. When my uncle met the ghost, he was cooking in the kitchen. I heard that something happened at the Wild Goose Tower in the west of the city. Anyway, when I went to find him, he was squatting on the ground, trembling, saying that there was a ghost. I couldn't wake him up no matter how hard I tried!" Jin Buhuan said.
"Oh, did your uncle say what the ghost looked like?" Shen Luo asked.
"No." Jin Buhuan shook his head.
"Then how is your uncle now?" Shen Luo asked again.
"After that, my uncle became absent-minded and didn't speak. Even after seeing a few doctors, he still didn't get better. Alas …" Jin Buhuan sighed worriedly.
"I know a little about medicine. Can you let me diagnose your uncle later?" Shen Luo raised his eyebrows and said.
If his uncle was harmed by a ghost, he could take the opportunity to see some clues about the ghost.
"Sir, you know medicine?" Jin Buhuan looked at Shen Luo with some suspicion.
"Little Brother, do you often feel sore in your left shoulder today? Do you feel numb in your hands and feet at night?" Shen Luo's Divine Sense swept over Jin Buhuan's body and felt that the blood and Qi in his left shoulder were not flowing smoothly.
"How do you know?" Jin Buhuan asked in surprise.
"A doctor can see many things at a glance by looking, listening, asking, and feeling the pulse," Shen Luo said.
"Sir, you are really a genius doctor. Later, you will definitely take a look at my uncle." Jin Buhuan no longer doubted and said excitedly.
"Well said." Shen Luo nodded slightly. When he saw the middle-aged scholar stand up and walk out, he immediately waved the two people back and stood up to greet him.
"Sir, we are really fated to meet again."
"It's you? You also came to hear the story of this Tang Emperor who cheated thirty years of his life? "The middle-aged scholar looked at Shen Luo and said with a smile.
"Cheat me of thirty years of life?" Shen Luo was stunned.
He had only been talking to the waiter and Jin Buhuan, so he didn't pay attention to what the storyteller was saying. He only vaguely heard something about the reincarnation of Taizong of the Wandering Underworld, and he was going to deliver the souls of the dead.
"That Tang Emperor promised Jinghe Dragon King to plead on his behalf, but he went back on his word. The two of them argued in the Underworld, but the Underworld coveted riches and honor. Not only did they severely punish Jinghe Dragon King's ghost, they even added thirty years of Tang Emperor's lifespan. Hmph!" The white-robed scholar's face was filled with resentment.
"Jinghe Dragon King!" Shen Luo was shocked.
That day in the Underworld, wasn't the ghost that Hu Yong wanted to release the Jinghe Dragon King's ghost? Cheng Yaojin also kept this matter a secret and refused to talk about it.
"Oh, it seems that you don't know about the Jinghe Dragon King. That's right, the Tang Emperor did such a wicked thing, so naturally, no one is allowed to spread it around. The storytellers in this building only dare to talk about bits and pieces of what happened back then. It's really boring." The white-robed scholar sneered. He seemed to find it boring to talk to Shen Luo, so he continued to walk outside.
"Your Excellency, please wait." Shen Luo flashed and stopped the person again.
"What else do you want?" The white-robed scholar frowned.
"There is one thing that I don't understand. I would like to ask Sir to clear it up for me. Where did you get the golden scale that you used to buy the fish?" Shen Luo cupped his hands and asked.
"Where I got it from has nothing to do with Your Excellency." The white-robed scholar tapped his palm with a paper fan and said indifferently.
"If it were ordinary gold and silver, I would naturally not care. However, this golden dragon scale carries a very strong Ghost Qi. I'm afraid that it is related to the ghost plague in Chang 'an City. Please tell me, Your Excellency," Shen Luo said.
"Oh, you can actually sense that it is a dragon scale. You have good eyesight. However, if you want to know this, you can investigate it yourself. " The white-robed scholar laughed and his figure flashed. He disappeared and reappeared outside the Smiling Daughter Pavilion. Then, he headed east.
Shen Luo's expression changed. He immediately used the Slanting Moon Steps and chased after him.
However, the scholar's movement was like a ghost. He was much faster than Shen Luo. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the crowd in front of him.
Shen Luo chased after him for a few steps but stopped helplessly.
However, he had the Shadow Venomous Insect and was not worried that he would lose the scholar. However, the scholar's movement shocked him.
"There is absolutely no magic power fluctuation on the white-robed scholar's body. Unexpectedly, he has such a swift movement. Is he an expert whose cultivation is much higher than mine?" He thought to himself.
"Ghost! Don't come over! "At this moment, a woman's scream came from the front.
"Ghosts in broad daylight!" Shen Luo was startled.
"It's this Yin Qi. That ghost has appeared again!" The Ghost General in the Cosmos Bag became restless again and growled.
Shen Luo's expression changed. He had no time to be shocked. He flew up and chased after the source of the sound. In the blink of an eye, he rushed into a tall attic building.
A plaque with the words "Lingering Fragrance Pavilion" was hanging at the entrance of the attic. It seemed to be a brothel.
Shen Luo spread out his Divine Sense and quickly found the source of the sound. He came to a room in the attic near a window.
"Ghost … Don't come near me … Someone come and save me … Wu wu …" A young girl in a palace dress was squatting in the room. Her face was full of tears. She was waving her hands in front of her in fright. It seemed that she was driving something away.
"Young lady, what happened?" Shen Luo cupped his hands and asked.
"I didn't see anything! I didn't hear anything! Wu wu … I am so scared … "The young girl in the palace dress seemed to be scared silly and could not communicate with him.
Seeing this, Shen Luo brushed his hands in front of the girl's face. His ten fingers danced and made a flowery pattern, casting a spell to stabilize the mind.
The young girl in the palace dress' expression changed along with Shen Luo's hand gestures. She reluctantly eased up and was no longer so frightened. She raised her head and looked at Shen Luo.
"Young lady, you don't need to be afraid. I am not a bad person. I just heard your voice and came to take a look. Young lady just said that you saw a ghost. Is there really a ghost in broad daylight?" Shen Luo stopped casting the spell and cupped his hands again.
"I … I just saw a ghost pass by downstairs! It was a headless ghost! The ghost was dripping water and kept saying 'My head, where is my head …' It really scared me to death, wu wu … "The young girl in the palace dress said blankly.
But when it came to ghosts, the young girl panicked again. She covered her face with her hands and cried again.
"Young Lady Lian Xiang, what's wrong? Hey, who are you? " A maid wearing an emerald green dress rushed in from outside. When she saw Shen Luo, she was surprised.
"Hey, what do you mean by 'steal' and 'thief'? That's so unpleasant to hear. Isn't wine brewed for people to drink? Moreover, your winery has placed 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 Taoist stuck his head out from behind Shen Luo and shouted righteously.
"Bastard! You dare to twist words and force logic! "The brawny man was angry and wanted to arrest him.
"You guys, didn't you just take a jar of wine? Why are you so rough? How much is the wine? I will pay for him." Shen Luo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He stopped the brawny man.
"You will pay for him? This old Daoist stole a jar of Hundred Days Drunk Wine. He also broke the other three jars of wine in the winery. The total is fifteen taels of silver. "The brawny man looked at Shen Luo and stretched out his hand.
Shen Luo took out an ingot of silver and threw it over. It was more than twenty taels of silver.
