"Isn't it because of it again?"

Shen Luo After getting excited, he gradually calmed down, glanced at the skull tattoo, and muttered to himself.

Surprises came one after another, which made him a little worried.

It took him two full years to practice Minor Transforming Yang Art before he could get started, but now in just one day, not only Minor Transforming Yang Art was perfected, but Nameless Art was also at the first level, and even "Water-Treading Art" was mastered almost without any cultivation...

As the saying goes, there must be a monster when something goes wrong!

His childhood experience has taught him that if there is an effect, there must be a cause. If he had not become a doctor after a long illness and read miscellaneous books to prepare several elixirs such as "Golden Fragrant Jade", how would it be possible for Shen family to become famous in just a few years?

Whether everything that happened to me was a disaster or a blessing in the end, it's really hard to say now.

But in a short period of time, this is definitely a great good thing for him. The purpose of this trip has been achieved, and it seems that it is time for him to go back.

Shen Luo thought silently, turned around and walked back to the shore, got dressed, and soon arrived at the official road outside the town.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky at this moment, it was noon, and there were only a few people on the official road.

Shen Luo sniffed lightly with his nose subconsciously, and various smells came flooding in, but they were left by pedestrians passing by.

He suddenly discovered something quite interesting, that is, by smelling these smells, he could tell how many people had passed by recently, and even guess what the other person did.

For example, this smell is mixed with a beany smell. It should be a hawker selling soy milk and tofu. The smell is full of sweat, so he must be a coolie who does heavy work. He has just returned from the county town. There is also a smell on the other side, oh, it should be a night scent...

Shen Luo felt a little funny in his heart. After his sense of smell became more sensitive, it could have such wonderful uses. This was something that he had never thought of before.

After entering the town, Shen Luo walked towards the inn. When there was nothing going on, he raised his ears slightly, wanting to test his hearing. Suddenly, various sounds from far and near came over.

There were the sounds of women bargaining with vendors, there were also two old men standing on the street corner whispering, and even the shouts of the waiters in the restaurant not far away could be heard clearly.

Shen Luo smiled slightly, closed his eyes, and tried to listen to the sounds farther away.

The sound of cooking in the kitchen of a nearby large inn and the sound of someone snoring in the guest room on the second floor also reached my ears, and from further away...

After a cup of tea, Shen Luo slowly returned to the small rented inn.

The lobby of the inn where the meal was served was the busiest time of the day. Even in this remote small inn, there were four or five tables of guests sitting at this time.

"Mr. Shen, it turns out you are out. No wonder I knocked on the door several times before, but no one answered." Little Third was greeting business in the lobby. When he saw Shen Luo coming back, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Send me a meal to the room. No chicken, duck, hooves or other greasy food, but something light." Shen Luo nodded noncommittally, gave a casual order, turned around and went back to the room.

As a result, as soon as he took a few steps, he turned back and waved to Little Third. When he came to him, he lowered his voice and said, "Get me some more talisman paper, Cinnabar, black dog blood, and a set of pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and bring them to my room."

After saying that, he calmly put a piece of broken silver into the opponent's hand and quickly left the lobby.

Little Third looked at the back of Shen Luo who couldn't wait to leave. He felt a little strange, but he didn't go into details. He happily put away the broken silver and walked towards the kitchen.

"Hey, how did Mr. Shen know that the kitchen was cooking for lunch?" Just after taking two steps, he suddenly let out a sigh and muttered something.

There are a lot of chicken and duck meats on several tables in the lobby, but no one calls this dish.

Shen Luo returned to the room and was just about to pack his luggage when he suddenly sniffed and narrowed his eyes slightly.

There is an extra smell in the room. Judging from the smell, it must have been just after leaving.

The owner of this smell was no stranger to him, it was none other than the shopkeeper named Hou.

"What's he doing in my room?"

Shen Luo thought to himself, and then closed his eyes, trying to roughly judge the person's movement trajectory after entering the room through the strength of the smell.

Gradually, a hazy picture emerged in his mind. A figure entered the room through the door, walked around the room, and then left without doing anything.

"This person came in, walked around for a while and then left. It doesn't look like he was looking for anything. Could it be that he was just worried about himself, so he came here to take a look?" Shen Luo slowly opened his eyes and said a little strangely.

At this moment, a burst of footsteps came from a distance, and soon they arrived outside the house, followed by a knock on the door.

"The door is not closed, please come in." Shen Luo wrinkled his nose and said.

The door was pushed open with a creak, and a figure walked in, holding a large wooden plate in his hand. On one side was a meal, and on the other side were a writing brush, talisman paper, Cinnabar and other items.

The person who came was not Little Third, but the shopkeeper named Hou.
