Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 118 Is the Immortal Pillow so inconvenient? (Compensation)

"Oh, that makes sense..." Faxiu said, and after thinking about it, he felt that it made more sense. He let him go and said, "It's okay then. They really don't know it was me who did it."

He even said with some pride: "The uncle from the Discipline Hall called all the brothers present to question them, but I was the only one left out."

"That's good. Are you checking the scriptures in the academy very strictly now?" Chen Baxian asked the waiter.

"Of course, this kind of thing is so embarrassing, we must investigate it thoroughly." The little monk said, "Even the three masters decided not to go out at the same time anymore, at least leave one person to look after the house."

Chen Baxian and Ren Yuan looked at each other. It seemed that it would be even more difficult to steal the house again.

Fa Xiu looked at the expressions of the two men and couldn't help asking, "Two big brothers, you guys don't want to use the Three Life Stone again, do you?"

Chen Baxian looked at Ren Yuan again, who shook his head and said, "No, we don't want to use it again."

"That's good, that's good." Faxiu breathed a sigh of relief, "Such an exciting thing should only happen once in a lifetime, don't let it happen a second time."

"We want to steal the Three Lives Stone." But he let Yuan Youyou say.

"Ah? I... Amitabha..." Faxiu was incoherent and said in astonishment: "Two brothers, tell me, are you kidding me?"

"I'm not kidding, this is real." Ren Yuan nodded and reassured him, "But we don't need your help this time, and you can't help. Just do whatever you can to avoid suspicion when the time comes."

"Are you using the method of provoking me again?" The little monk pouted, looking unhappy.

"Hey, you little monk don't know what's good for you." Chen Baxian laughed, "Sanshengtang is such a remote place, you appearing nearby once is just a coincidence. If it happens twice, even if I break your legs, people will suspect you!"

"..." Faxiu also knew that what he said made sense, so he no longer insisted, but he still explained in detail the restrictions of Sanshengtang, the situation of the three monks, and the latest defense status.

Simply put, there is security, surveillance, and power grid...

Chen Baxian was so confused that he smiled bitterly at Ren Yuan, "It seems that even if you have a special trick, it will be difficult for us to succeed."

"And have you ever thought about it? Even if we can really steal it, how can we refine such a big stone in three days?" Then he sighed and said:
"Last time, I just used it for a moment and white light shot up into the sky. This time, I have to refine it. Who knows how big a commotion it might cause."

"Well, that's indeed a problem." Ren Yuan nodded.

Yang Zhong said, "It would be great if we could refine it on the boat... Didn't you originally plan to bring the stones on the boat?"

"Brother Yang, you hit the nail on the head," Ren Yuan nodded with a wry smile, "But there is someone else who can refine the Three Life Stone, and I can't bring a living person on board."

"Who said that living people can't get on board?" At this time, an old voice suddenly sounded, and Zu Chongzhi said proudly in the cabin: "How can an ancient artifact like the Youxian Pillow be so inconvenient?"

"Oh my god, there are people on the boat?!" The three people except Ren Yuan were all shocked.

"Yes." Ren Yuan smiled awkwardly and said, "There is an old man in the cabin, but I didn't introduce him to you without his consent."

"You can talk as much as you want." Zu Chongzhi smiled nonchalantly and said, "Boy, let me ask you, have you ever thought of me in real life?"

Ren Yuan thought about it carefully for a while and said in surprise: "Really not."

"That's right. Because that old senior has helped me cover up the concept of 'existence' in reality. Unless I appear in the real world and am discovered by people I know, no one will remember me." Zu Chongzhi said slowly.

"Oh my god..." Although Chen Baxian and the other two did not understand, they were greatly shocked. They were in awe and their confidence increased greatly. It turned out that there was such a peerless master hidden in their side. "Why are you talking in there, old senior? Please come out and let us meet you." Chen Baxian's attitude was too respectful.

"Nonsense, I want to get out. Who wants to stay in a dark room all day?" Zu Chongzhi said unhappily.

"Is it that the old man still has the concept of 'existence' in the dream world, so he must hide in that room, otherwise he will be targeted by powerful characters." Faxiu grew up in a scripture translation institute, and he has a strong understanding of these abstract things.

"Haha, the little monk is quite intelligent." Zu Chongzhi praised, "You are right. At any time, do not mention those extraordinary beings, especially on their territory, or you will be discovered."

Everyone nodded quickly and took note of this survival rule.

"Of course, many people mention them every day. Unless you are a registered member like me, they won't even look at you." Zu Chongzhi comforted everyone again.

"Yeah, we are not worthy of being noticed." Chen Baxian laughed at himself.

"No, you are indeed not qualified in reality, but in this world, everyone is qualified," said Zu Chongzhi.

"Okay." Ren Yuan nodded and asked Zu Chongzhi, "Why did the old man come out of seclusion?"

"Boy, I've suddenly realized something and I can't help but come out and tell you." Zu Chongzhi said excitedly:

"Even if the circle in your world cannot be cut completely, it does not mean that the circle in this world cannot be cut completely. And this just proves that as long as I can cut the circle in this world completely, I can smash this false world in one fell swoop and save everyone from the nightmare!"

"..." Chen Baxian and the other two were completely confused and felt like they had missed a lot of episodes.

"Well," Ren Yuan wanted to explain, but found that he couldn't explain it clearly, so he coughed and said, "This is a profound mathematical problem. You won't understand it even if I tell you."

"Then tell us something we understand. What did the old man mean by that?" Chen Baxian got back to the point and asked, "Is there a way to get the ship owner to bring people on board?"

"Of course." Zu Chongzhi replied, "How else could I have gotten on board? Wasn't it the senior who brought me aboard?"

"But I've tried it many times before..." Ren Yuan whispered.

"That's because you don't have the power." Zu Chongzhi said calmly, "The Immortal Pillow has infinite uses. As long as I change the rules a little, you can bring a living person on board. But your realm is too low, so you have to consume sleep on the boat. When you run out of sleep, you will naturally be ejected."

"Brother, I'm not trying to stir up trouble, but you don't deserve the title of ship owner..." Chen Baxian said deliberately. He said this not to mock Ren Yuan, but to squeeze Zu Chongzhi so that the old man would give more power to Ren Yuan.

Zu Chongzhi was really unhappy and said, "What do you mean by that? It's true that I gave the ship owner to Ren, but I didn't give him the position of the owner of the Youxian Pillow. The pillow belongs to the old senior, I can't decide."

"My goodness, you must have been an official, right? You are an expert in building houses." Chen Baxian said with a smile.

"Yes, I served as an official for many years in the previous dynasty, but later I gave up my official position to study mathematics." Zu Chongzhi was silent for a while, and then said to Ren Yuan: "Okay, Ren, the rules have been changed. Now whoever you want to take on board can get on board."

"Is it that simple?" Chen Baxian looked at Ren Yuan and didn't notice any changes.

"Do you understand that divine weapons have spirits? Why does it have to be so complicated?" Zu Chongzhi was about to end the small talk and said, "Okay, don't bother me anymore. I have to continue working on the questions."

"Don't worry, don't worry. One last question." Ren Yuan hurriedly stopped Zu Chongzhi and asked, "Can the Youxian Pillow be used in a restricted environment?"

"Unless there is a divine weapon with a higher status than it, it will not be affected at all." Zu Chongzhi said, "But is there any divine weapon with a higher status than the Youxian Pillow in this world? Anyway, I have never heard of it."

ps. I will make up for it, but I can still ask for a monthly ticket... It's the last day and the amount is doubled. Does anyone still have tickets? Vote for the poor kid. Thank you, thank you! !
