Chapter 3: Luo Daoist
"I recently found an ancient local record, which documents some weird and unusual phenomena that have happened in Chunhua County over hundreds of years. Based on the research carried out by my men, these records are mostly true, but for unknown reasons, they are little known to ordinary people. Among these anomalies, a place called the Spring and Autumn Pavilion is frequently mentioned. According to the records, this Daoist temple is located within Chunhua County, and the priests there should know the real art of exorcism.” Shen Luo replied with bright eyes.
"That’s news! Where is this Spring and Autumn Pavilion? I will send someone to invite them immediately.” On hearing this, Shen Yuange, agitated, stood up with a ‘bang’.
"Father, do not worry. I have already sent people to invite them, paying them handsomely. If everything goes according to the letter, the people of Spring and Autumn Pavilion will arrive today.” Shen Luo replied with a slight smile.
"Great, I will tell the servants to prepare immediately so that there won’t be any issues with our hospitality.” Shen Yuange was not concerned about the actions taken by his eldest son; instead, he rubbed his hands together and said contentedly.
At this time, from outside the study, Shen Yuange’s personal assistant delivered a respectful message:
"Old Master! Young Master! A Daoist named Luo has arrived as scheduled with the Young Master.”
Upon hearing this, both father and son looked at each other in surprise and joy.
"Father, you stay here and have some tea. I’ll personally meet this Daoist from the Spring and Autumn Pavilion.” Shen Luo decisively suggested.
"This matter concerns your life and death. How can I stay here and have tea? Let’s meet Master Luo together.” Shen Yuange waved his hand, and people hastily ran towards the entrance.
