Chapter 1740 Peace of Mind
During the existence of the bottomless bag, Goddess Fenghe had to continuously inject divine power into it to keep it running. In this small cave, the three-hour time limit was already very difficult.
After he finished explaining, Bai Ziqi asked him, "Any other difficulties?"
"Normally, I have no problem entering and exiting the Immortal Cave. I am familiar with the spirit beasts guarding the cave and the three managers. But there are two problems. First, to withdraw the black crystals from the Immortal Light Cave now, you must have the hand order of Sect Leader Xiao. Secondly, according to the normal process, I cannot enter the treasure house on the bottom floor. Instead, I have to give Sect Leader Xiao's hand order to a scale monster, which will enter the warehouse and take out the black crystals in a fixed amount."
He paused and said, "In fact, everything in the treasury is sent and received by the scale monster. We have no right to enter."
"The first problem is not difficult to solve. There have been at least twenty or thirty withdrawals of black crystals in the sect today. I can go find Sect Leader Xiao." Wu Shidao has done this process of signing orders, storing, and taking things out thousands of times. Why would Xiao Wencheng doubt it?
"But as for the second question, I can't do anything about it. If I forcefully use my magical powers, Ya Taowu in the treasure house will definitely be alarmed! If there are other living creatures staying in the Fairy Light Cave without permission, they will also be discovered by Ya Taowu!"
Taowu is an ancient mythical beast. The big monster guarding the treasure house of Huanzong has some Taowu blood, so it is ranked "Ya".
It is not an easy task to steal the black crystal from the immortal's treasure house.
"Have you ever been into the lower level vault and seen its layout?"
"Yes." Wu Shidao nodded, "The treasury needs to be cleaned manually every five years, and the accounts need to be checked at the same time. I went in with Elder Xu and checked the accounts. The treasures inside are all classified and placed."
"How is the black crystal placed?"
"The black crystals are placed in special caves, classified by grade, and packed in box-shaped storage spaces." Wu Shidao glanced at Bai Ziqi, "This bottomless bag itself cannot hold storage space, then, that's not easy to deal with."
Bai Ziqi thought for a moment and asked, "How many scale monsters are there?"
"There's only one, about this big." Wu Shidao gestured to him, "It's not easy for a scale to become a spirit. It's said that this one was obtained by the Immortal Lord, and it's the only one in the world."
"Does it have human-like intelligence or emotions?" Bai Ziqi asked further, "Will it become suspicious and interrogate?"
"No." Wu Shidao shook his head. "It is very strict and follows the rules and procedures. If it passes the test, it will be given. If it fails the test, it will not be given. It will do whatever Sect Leader Xiao tells it to do. I have been in the sect for more than 30 years, and it has never said a word to me."
What should I do? Bai Ziqi fell into deep thought.
At this time, a grey parrot descended from the sky with a small box in its mouth.
It is smaller than a powder box used by women.
"Use this." The grey parrot spat the box into Bai Ziqi's hand and then said, "This is a part of Qian Huan's external Dharma image. I ground it into powder. It's enough to make a few illusions."
Bai Ziqi was overjoyed: "Thank you, goddess!"
The grey parrot then taught him how to use it, and Wu Shidao took the powder box and the bottomless bag and left.
Bai Shiqi was about to lead him down the lighthouse when Wu Shidao paused and turned to Bai Ziqi and said:
"My Lord, I remember one more thing: before the Storm Wall dissipated, the elders held many closed-door meetings and had several arguments. Although they later opened the soundproof barrier, I still heard Elder Liu say to Elder Liu, 'The Wisdom Lamp will be lit again, and in the next few days... someone has to go to Yaozi Lake.' This morning, when they walked into the pavilion, they mentioned Yaozi Lake and Silver Pearl Fruit, but they didn't say much."
"I have served in Wenhui Pavilion for too long. The elders often ignore my existence and don't speak carefully." Wu Shidao knew very well that he was just a background board most of the time in Wenhui Pavilion.
No one will remain wary of the background board for long.
After saying this, he turned around and left the tower.
This person is very aware of the current situation, so he took the initiative to report the secret. Bai Shiqi encouraged him at the right time: "You have explained these few words very well. Remember, we all keep our word and have clear rewards and punishments! What you have done for Lord Bai is worth the past thirty years of hard work!"
Wu Shidao whispered "yes" and left the lighthouse to return to the battlefield, not daring to look in the direction where his fellow disciples had just been burned.
Bai Shiqi stared at his back until he disappeared.
Other superiors use both kindness and severity to win people over, but in his family, the adults also have to grasp the word "reason".
This "reason" is the "reason" that brings peace of mind.
Although the Heavenly Palace and the immortals are equally cruel, they revealed the true face of the Illusion Sect to Wu Shidao. The latter would instinctively hate the sect even more because he had been deceived and betrayed!
This is what Envoy Bai has always taught us. One must make people feel that they are both the victim and in the right, so that they can feel at ease betraying the original owner!
When he returned to the lighthouse, Bai Ziqi praised Bai Shiqi: "You made a good choice in Wu Shidao."
Among the thirty or so prisoners, Bai Shiqi did pick out a useful one.
"Your Excellency God, I am too kind. I was just lucky. I have gone through so many captives, but I only picked out this one person."
Afterwards, Bai Ziqi began to think about the place called "Yaozi Lake".
The bottom of this small lake just lit up in sync with the moonlight. Now Wu Shidao said that the immortals of the Illusion Sect also mentioned it again and again.
It can be seen that this place is extraordinary.
When you are emotionally excited during an argument, you tend to tell the truth. However, these immortals from the Illusion Sect are all quite old, and they should have a celestial bearing and good self-cultivation skills. How could they quarrel so unpresentably?
In other words, the topic of debate made them ignore their identities.
Bai Ziqi could guess at once that they were discussing Qian Huan's retreat and the opening of the Diagonal Sea.
Then, Wu Shidao heard them mention Yaozi Lake, and more than once.
The glowing lake bottom, um...
The grey parrot suddenly said, "The lamp of wisdom is the moon. This is what people said in ancient times."
"That is to say, Elder Liu of the Illusion Sect told his companions that the moon will be bright again?" Bai Ziqi pondered, "Today is the fifteenth day, when the moon is full. Why must immortals enter Yaozi Lake when the Storm Wall is open? What is the connection between this and the full moon?"
The immortals also mentioned the silver bead fruit, the shiny fruit on the shore of Upside Down Lake.
"The silver bead fruit is also related to the fifteenth day of the lunar month." Bai Ziqi continued, "The moonlight at other times will not make the silver bead fruit shine."
"Fairy, full moon, Kidney Lake, Silver Pearl Fruit." The grey parrot asked him, "What can be connected?"
"The ten days after the Storm Wall disappears is their only chance to leave. If they miss it, they will have to wait another five years. But the Upside-Down Sea is sealed, so they may not be able to get out. So the reason they must go to Yaozi Lake can only be because of Master Qianhuan!"
