Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1473

A river flows across the two peaks, its winding course revealing layers of verdant green.

Who says that Lao Tzu's journey was within the confines of the landscape?

This poem is the third in a series of four poems titled "Passing Shanghu Ridge, Gazing at the Mountains North and South of Zhaoxian River" by Yang Wanli, a poet from the Southern Song Dynasty.

Although not a famous poet like Li Bai or Du Fu, Master Zheng greatly admired Yang Wanli's poems.

So he wrote a piece of calligraphy himself, framed it, and hung it in his room.

Originally intended only for my own enjoyment, I never imagined that this calligraphy would serve as a means of conveying a message today.

From the beginning, Master Zheng suspected that the little red dot was trying to convey some kind of message to him, but he couldn't figure it out for the time being.

But now, seeing where the little red dot is stopping, Master Zheng is 100% certain that it is delivering a message.

It just so happens to stop at the fourth character of the first line of that poem, which is definitely not a coincidence!

Although he couldn't quite understand why the young master wanted him to delay things, Master Zheng knew that following orders would be the right thing to do.

Given the current situation, if they're going to delay, it's definitely not Xiao Jinghai, but rather Bai Lian Dao Ren.

To stall the White Lotus Taoist without arousing his suspicion, a logical reason was needed.

Thinking of this, Master Zheng immediately started racking his brains, but unexpectedly, at this moment, the White Lotus Taoist suddenly stood up.

Although he hadn't spoken yet, Master Zheng could tell that the White Lotus Taoist was preparing to leave.

Master Zheng was getting anxious. He had just received the message to hold off the White Lotus Taoist, but the other party was about to leave immediately.

"What should we do now? The White Lotus Taoist is not easy to fool. We can't just use a few words to keep him occupied."

"There's even a chance he'll realize my intentions, and then not only will I be unable to hold him back, but I might also force him to take action immediately."

"We need to come up with a plausible and interesting reason, but what exactly is the White Lotus Taoist interested in?"

Thinking of this, Master Zheng suddenly felt somewhat powerless, because he knew far too little about the White Lotus Taoist.

Even if we wanted to speculate, we couldn't find a direction, so we had no choice but to start from the level of human nature.

"Every human being has desires, so we can find out what Bai Lian Dao Ren's desires are from a human perspective."

“Wealth? No, that only attracts ordinary people. The White Lotus Taoist controls the White Lotus Sect and is not short of money at all.”

"As for women, the White Lotus Sect has no shortage of women. If he wanted, countless women would be willing to offer themselves to him at any time."

"That leaves only power, which no one can resist. But what right do I have to talk about power with him?"

Thinking of this, Master Zheng couldn't help but feel a little anxious, even though these thoughts only flashed through his mind for a fleeting moment.

But time, however short, is still passing. Just as Master Zheng was pondering this, the White Lotus Taoist also spoke.

"I still need to keep an eye on Wei Wu, so I won't linger here any longer!"

After saying this, the White Lotus Taoist immediately strode toward the gate, but at that moment, Master Zheng had a flash of inspiration.

"That's right! Who cares about wealth, sex, or power now! What the White Lotus Taoist cares about most is the young master!"

"If it's the young master, we might find a lot of things on him that would interest the White Lotus Taoist, and we won't be able to find any flaws in his defenses."

"After all, no matter how powerful the White Lotus Taoist is, he couldn't possibly understand the young master better than I do!!"

Having made up his mind, Master Zheng immediately looked up and saw that the White Lotus Taoist had already reached the edge of the room door.

Seeing this, Master Zheng quickly spoke up and said loudly.

"My Lord, I do not wish to worry day and night about the deadly poison in my body. Therefore, could you please grant me the true antidote?"
