Apart from this house, there is no other habitable place around Laobie Mountain. The house looks old, but it was built with high-quality materials. The exterior walls are all made of blue bricks, but over time, the blue bricks are covered with moss.
The house was located in a shady spot on Laobie Mountain, so it rarely saw sunlight, giving it a damp and cold feel. Wang Yao led Hui Shuo around the front and back of the house, but Mo Luopo, who was selling fish, had not returned. The house was dark and they could not see anything inside.
Wang Yao kept an eye on Hui Shuo, and seeing that he didn't seem inclined to chant any scriptures, he pulled Hui Shuo away from the house in Molupo and headed up the mountain.
Laobie Mountain is actually not very big. The top of the mountain is round and flat with little undulation. Wang Yao and his companion found the Sanyan Pond, which Fang Xia and the landlady seemed to have never seen before, without much effort.
The reason Wang Yao guessed that this was Sanyantang was because the name was so fitting. Three small oval water surfaces were connected to each other, which looked like three unfolded leaves. It was also very apt to say that they were three eyes. Sanyantang was located at the tail of Laobieshan.
The mound here has a slight depression, and Sanyantang is located in that depression. Although it is partially hidden by some bushes and trees, it is still easy to spot. Wang Yao assumed that Fang Xia and the landlady couldn't see Sanyantang, probably for the same reason that they couldn't see Molupo.
He led Hui Shuo to the edge of the pond, where Hui Shuo stared blankly at the deep, bluish-green water, showing no sign of wanting to chant scriptures.
Wang Yao noticed two other people fishing near the pond. They had a motorcycle parked behind them and food laid out beside them. They looked travel-worn, suggesting they had come a long way.
Knowing that fishermen dislike being disturbed, he didn't approach to inquire. Instead, he took Hui Shuo away from Laobie Mountain and returned to Ziqiang County. On the way, they found a restaurant, ordered two dishes, and arranged for the disgruntled Hui Shuo to have lunch.
Although this trip seemed to have been fruitless, Wang Yao did confirm one thing: the problem in Molopo was not caused by the environment. The system's prompt about fate, luck, and feng shui meant that feng shui could be ruled out.
Although he didn't understand why Moloppo had to live in that shady, sunless place, it was clear that the place wasn't the cause of Moloppo's problems.
After all, Hui Shuo did not strike the wooden fish, and Wang Yao believed that what could trigger Hui Shuo to strike the wooden fish was the root cause of the Molopo problem.
As for the fortune mentioned in the system, Wang Yao ruled it out from the start. Bad luck, not even able to see a woman? That's obviously nonsense. So next, he would have to look for the answer in Molopo's numerology.
After Hui Shuo finished eating, Wang Yao led him back to the inn, and the two stayed in the room without going out again. Early the next morning, Wang Yao went to the Xiangyang Road vegetable market again, and he was shocked to find that Mo Luopo was still being ignored by the woman. He finally realized that Hui Shuo's chanting could only solve the problem temporarily and could not cure it completely.
After leaving the market, Wang Yao thought for a moment and then called Hua Tuo.
"Hua Gu, I have something I'd like to ask you. Do you know where to start when dealing with matters of destiny?" Wang Yao asked.
"When did you switch careers to fortune telling?" Hua Tuo asked.
"No, wasn't I doing the task assigned by the Heavenly Court..." Wang Yao explained the situation of the Solitary Mission and his reasoning to Hua Tuo. After listening, Hua Tuo remained silent for a while before slowly speaking on the other end of the phone.
"There are three ways to resolve this. The first is to go to your Fairy Caixia. The Heavenly Court has methods to alter the fates of mortals; this is the simplest and most convenient method. The second is to do it yourself in the mortal realm, but you must obtain detailed information about that individual, such as their birth date and time..."
"Then deduce the problem in his destiny and prescribe the right remedy. The third method is to go to the underworld. The destiny of mortals is determined by the underworld. The underworld is the governing body for destiny. You can ask them for help, but those guys in the underworld are very difficult to talk to. This method is the most difficult."
Heaven, the mortal realm, and the underworld? Wang Yao thanked Hua Tuo and had already made up his mind to go to the celestial realm to find Cai Xia. Since the reason why the lone Mo Luopo was not favored by women was because of his bad luck, and Heaven had made this a problem, then Heaven would naturally have to help Mo Luopo defy fate and change his destiny.
As for getting it done in the human realm? Moropo is clearly not cooperating, so getting his birth date and time will probably not be easy. It's better to follow Hua Tuo's advice and go to the Heavenly Court.
Now that Wang Yao had made up his mind, there was no need for him and Hui Shuo to stay in Ziqiang County any longer.
Although he hadn't yet completed the task of Molopo's reluctance to associate with women, it was the second priority in the task prompts. Wang Yao felt that he should first solve the first task, Molopo's problem of not being liked by women.
He hurriedly woke up Hui Shuo at the inn, settled the room fee with the landlady, and said that something had happened at home in Huadu. He then took Hui Shuo back to Zhidu by car, and along the way, he had to buy Hui Shuo a few meat buns for breakfast.
When the two arrived in Zhidu, it was already afternoon, and a light drizzle began to fall. Wang Yao took Hui Shuo directly to the airport, but he found that the checks at Zhidu Airport had suddenly become much stricter. Upon entering the station, not only were their addresses checked, but they were also required to register the places they had visited within the past week.
Wang Yao and his companion traveled from Huadu through Zhidu to Ziqiang County, and then returned from Ziqiang County to Zhidu. The route was clear, and the journey didn't take too long. The inspectors didn't say anything and let them pass.
However, Wang Yao heard from the people waiting for the plane that there seemed to be a serious epidemic in Xianghe District of Zhidu, causing widespread panic.
