The Gods' Decree
/ The Gods' Decree Chapter 6
Tafari watched the whole ordeal and was impressed as always with Mr Ming .
"Ha ha Old man Ming nice touch there "paragon forest" and " award winning wine"
"hmmm I wonder if this paragon forest is related to the dragons might forest or King of kings mountain range you mention to some customers couple days ago?" . He rolled his eyes as he sarcastically questioned
Mr Ming looked at Taf with a knowing look . "Ha ha . . , you know the sale is made most times by the impressiveness and grandness of the name" . he winked .
Advertisement"Old man Ming I have been meaning to ask . Do you Know of any places with books in regards to the outside world, but most importantly cultivation?" .
Old man Ming looked on Taf with a curious gaze . "Books on cultivation huh, Interesting it seems that you Lil Taf have dreams of one day taking such a road am I right?" .
"Many men I've known have had similar dreams as you and not one of them have succeeded in any regard" . He sighed as he continued .
" Some have grieved for decades, while others became so discouraged that they have ended there own pitiful live in their failed attempts . "
" I may not know much about the topic but I know it's a road that should not be encourage and sort after especially for mortals like us" . Taf listened as Old man Ming spoke not letting one word pass him by .
"Why do you think our city is only made up of mortals?" He questioned .
" It isn't that there aren't many who wouldn't seek that road . It is just that we are bounded by our own body to forever be entities that are only a fleeting memory on this earth" .
"I don't know why but over my many decades of life I have pondered and found that there might be special trait essential for cultivation . I am not sure, but I have come to that conclusion .
Mr Ming saw the disappointed look on Taf's face and smiled and patted him on the back .
"Well there have been cases whereby a few of us mortals have been selected when the cultivators decend" .
At the mention of cultivators, Mr Ming had a look of awe on his face . Taf rarely saw such a look on his face but the mere mention bare fruit to that reaction .
"Next time I cannot miss the descend of the cultivators in the city . I wonder if I can be selected? . Ha ha i wonder what look would old man Ming have?"
Mr Ming collected himself and looked at Tafari with a worried look .
"In the last decade only a few have been selected Lil Taf, so do not get overly excited" . He did not want this youngster to get his hopes up for them only to be dashed .
"OK we are mortals, so I doubt there are any books in the city available to common folks on cultivation . However, there should be books and articles about the outside world in a book store I know" .
"Today is customer appreciation day on all the stores on West brook Side, where all the merchants are slashing their prices . "
"This would be the best time to go . Maybe you can find elixirs to temper your growing body and the information you seek" .
He remembered and then recommended to the youth with curious looking eyes .
"We may be mortals but that doesn't mean we can't have any strength . Look at this old man arms, old and grey from top to bottom yet fit like a bull and keeping Mrs Ming happy" . He curled his skinny arms in a pose .
Little Taf rolled on the floor laughing after seeing the old man looking as though he thought himself a himself a hunk .
