Chapter 1793: Chapter 1820: Advanced Maneuvers
Inside the room, four people sat around a table, eating and drinking.
A nun nearby, and a monk outside the room, were fully attentive, listening intently to the conversation among the several people.
Ma Niubi and Monk Liaowang suddenly barged in and sat down naturally, likely acquainted with the two inside the room. Everyone now knew that one of the young monks inside was Wuhu, who had caused a commotion in the Pure Land.
It was said that Ma Niubi had been friendly with Wuhu and had gone together to the Debating Buddha Platform. This eting was an opportunity to judge whether Wuhu’s body had truly been possessed by a strange spirit through their conversation.
However, after waiting for a while, the four remained silent, just continuing to eat.
The nuns stared at the table, observing as the dishes were gradually consud, secretly noting what each person ate.
Ma Niubi picked up an onion…
Li Xiaobai picked up a piece of winter lon…
Monk Liaowang stabbed a knife into a plate…
…
After a cup of tea ti.
Monk Liaowang opened the shell of a crab, and Li Xiaobai suddenly flipped the table, sending pots and bowls clattering to the floor.
Monk Liaowang and Ma Niubi stood up, cupped their fists towards Li Xiaobai, and left through the door.
The monk outside wore a confused expression, and the nuns inside were equally baffled. What did this an? Eating a silent al and flipping the table at the end?
“Why are you standing there dumbfounded? Clean up the tableware, you can go.”
Li Xiaobai said coldly.
“Yes!”
The nuns responded, cleared the table, and left the room, whispering with the old monks waiting outside.
“Did you see anything? Why did this old monk hear nothing from outside?”
“They never talked, nor showed any signs of transmitting ssages via divine sense, rely eating in silence. But in the end, they flipped the table. Could it be that the two seniors couldn’t hold back and erupted?”
“No, I don’t think it’s that simple. This al must have so secret. They picked dishes in a regular pattern, one person picking then the next, but I can’t figure out the mystery. Moreover, this al was made on short notice, leaving no opportunity to prepare traps in advance.”
“It’s too profound and unfathomable; let’s report to Master Lingtai when he returns and continue observing!”
…
Inside the room.
Yu Huan Shui scratched his head, “Young brother, what were you saying earlier? I couldn’t see a thing in it.”
Li Xiaobai said: “Just now, we were eating, you were eating too, weren’t you?”
“Don’t fool , I can see you were using the dishes to transmit information. Those two are acquainted with you; one is your friend from the Immortal Spirit Continent, and the other is your disciple, appearing in your mory.”
“How did you communicate?”
Yu Huan Shui took out paper and pen, eager for knowledge like a student; ever since following Li Xiaobai, his life seed more exciting, with increased experience, and learning many novel things from this young man’s words.
“It was simple, Ma Niubi picked up an onion, asking where we ca from.”
“I responded with winter lon, aning we ca from the east.”
“Monk Liaowang stabbed a knife, asking where we were headed, I slurped a scallop indicating we were heading west.”
“Then I used lion’s head and untied the crab’s strings to indicate my senior sister was also present. They placed tea bowls on the table, asking which senior sister. I tasted the ‘Two Dragons Play with Pearl’ and ‘Four Happiness atballs’, telling them Second Senior Sister and Fourth Senior Brother were both here.”
“That’s how each dish selection responded to their questions.”
Li Xiaobai spoke plainly; to the cultivators of the Divine Realm, it might seem incredible, but for those ascending from the Lower Realm, such communication was routine after being tricked along the way, understanding a simple move reflected their thoughts.
“Gasp!”
“Astonishingly genius, but why did you flip the table at the end? Was it to destroy evidence, preventing the surveillance nuns from reviewing what happened?”
Yu Huan Shui seed to catch on, continuing to ask.
“Before I flipped the table, Monk Liaowang opened the crab shell, asking what to do next. I flipped the table, the ssage clear, it was ti for battle. They got the information they wanted, now returned to prepare early, we gained two allies in the western battlefield.”
Li Xiaobai spoke slowly.
“Impressive, indeed! People shouldn’t be naive. Everyone says the Boundary Sea is where the strong gather, but who would’ve thought such maneuvers existed even within this small Divine Realm. Yu Huan Shui dares to say, this is a skill the top forces of the starry sky could never learn in a lifeti.”
Yu Huan Shui praised, recording Li Xiaobai’s words word for word, shocked at how a al could hold so many secrets, the information imnse.
“You’re too kind. It’s just trivial tricks, nothing significant. When Second Senior Sister acts, Master Lingtai will know I’m truthful, affirming the strange spirit’s identity.”
The sky gradually darkened, and Lingtai returned, his face gloomy, followed by Jianglong and others, head down and silent.
They checked around, finding not one spirit anywhere, all arrays broken, and materials plundered completely clean, leaving not a trace, a robber act by Hongguoguo.
Instinct told him this matter couldn’t be separated from the two reckless individuals.
“How long will you continue playing dumb, pretending to be a spirit, deceiving this old monk, gutsy!”
Lingtai’s expression was stern with a cold snort, oppressive instantly.
On the bed, Li Xiaobai turned over, appearing indifferent but frantically worried inside, quickly thinking where the error occurred, how it was discovered.
“I asked the disciples at the mountain gate, you two entered my Lingyin Temple today, holding Jing Ci from Cihang Nunnery as leverage. Master Xuan Tian learned of this and led disciples to suppress, but there’s been no news since. Am I right?”
“In such a short ti, how could you be possessed by a spirit? How were the arrays broken? How did the spirit escape? Explain everything to live.”
Lingtai squinted, eyeing Li Xiaobai’s reaction.
“Nonsense, I could possess soone in an instant.”
“Do you want to claim a junior disciple alone could capture tens of thousands of spirits?”
Li Xiaobai said indifferently.
“Haha, this old monk knows Wuhu had captured tens of thousands of spirits at Task Hall previously, seen as a miracle, though unaware how it was done, you indeed have that ability.”
“Next, I will act on you, proving whether you were possessed.”
Lingtai’s eyes transford into golden light, shooting scorching lines towards Li Xiaobai.
But at that mont, a thunderous sound suddenly echoed, shaking heaven and earth, forcing Elder Monk Lingtai a step back, collapsing the ground by a few feet, dispersing the fiery lines.
A high-pitched female voice, full of overwhelming power, reverberated in the Pure Land sky.
“Liu Jinshui, bring your life!”
