Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

"When we were discussing the incision just now, it wasn't important what we said. The key was only the first sentence, 'Where is the Pure Land?'"

Even after returning to the room, Master Zheng still spoke in a low voice, fearing that others would hear him.

Seeing how cautious he was, Shen Lin, who had originally let down his guard, became more vigilant again.

At this time, Master Zheng continued:

"You should have seen it just now! That old monk kept banging on the table. Actually, that's the most important thing."

"At that time, I seemed to be waiting for his answer, but in fact I was silently counting how many times he knocked on the table."

After listening to what Master Zheng said, Shen Lin recalled the situation at that time.

Indeed, Master Zheng hadn't said anything at that time, but then he suddenly interrupted the old monk.

Logically speaking, this behavior is extremely impolite. How could one do such an impolite thing if he is asking for help from others?

Unless there is only one possibility, this is what must be done and it is the right thing to do.

What Master Zheng said next was exactly what Shen Lin had guessed.

"The act of interrupting him by knocking on the table is a confrontation, and the number of times you interrupt him is informing the other person of your identity."

"White Lotus True Man is nine, but this situation will basically never happen. The Four Dharma Kings are eight, which means they can be interrupted with eight knocks."

"For someone like me or a Dharma Protector, the number is seven, so when he banged the table for the seventh time, I interrupted him by slamming the table."

Having said that, Master Zheng suddenly took out the gold ingot from his arms.

"And this gold ingot, it's actually not gold at all but made of lead, but coated with a layer of gold paint."

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Zheng picked up the gold ingot, raised it high, and then threw it directly to the ground.

Click!

Unlike the muffled sound of normal metal being dropped, this gold ingot actually broke into two pieces after it hit the ground.

Looking closely, it turns out that the gold ingots are inlaid together, and the bottom and the ingots are two accessories.

After being thrown hard by Master Zheng, they separated naturally.

And after the gold ingots were separated, a small white paper roll actually fell out of it.

Shen Lin walked up, picked up the paper and opened it. There were only six simple small words written on it.

'At midnight, walk across the Immortal Bridge.'

After handing the note to Master Zheng, Shen Lin couldn't help but ask a question.

"Are you asking us to go to Zouxian Bridge at three o'clock in the morning and wait for someone to pick us up?"

However, as soon as Shen Lin finished speaking, Master Zheng immediately shook his head.

"No, if someone really took the note and went to the Immortal Bridge, they would just end up as a corpse, or disappear completely."

"what?"

To be honest, Shen Lin was really confused now.

Just now at Hualien Temple, I finally got the gold ingot after cutting it and counting how many times I knocked on the table.

After getting the gold ingot, you still have to smash it open to see the small note inside.

This process is already troublesome enough, but after listening to what Master Zheng said, this note turned out to be a trap.

Do you have to make it so troublesome?

Just when Shen Lin was puzzled, Master Zheng took out a fire starter from his arms.

After uncapping the lid, he blew gently twice until a flame appeared on the tinderbox, then he moved the note over to it.

When the note was brought closer to the flame, four small words appeared on the back again.

'Wait for guidance'.

Seeing this, Shen Lin frowned and continued to ask:

"What do you mean by waiting for guidance? It's not another trap!"

Master Zheng did not keep Shen Lin in suspense and immediately explained the inside story to him.

"No, the key to this note is only the first three words and the hidden text written in hidden ink."

"Waiting for guidance means we don't have to do anything. We just have to wait for them to send someone. The third watch is the time."

Hearing this, Shen Lin suddenly understood.
