Chapter 114

Could this be the legendary fickleness of women?

Although he felt this Miao leader had a special identity, Zhang Yueshan would not take the initiative to ask Zhang Lin.

The Zhang family members in the Northeast later scattered, so it was possible for one to appear in a Miao village in Guangxi.

The audience was cheering for Chen Pi Ah Si getting his just deserts.

Old Lady Huo, however, could not help but sigh.

"Sigh, this Chen Pi… he is a complicated man."

"Once a person has lived long enough, they can see that there is no absolute good or evil in this world."

"Heibei Laoliu wasn't exactly innocent of killing and looting while tomb-raiding in Old Changsha."

"But this storyteller promoted the past deeds of Heibei Laoliu by the Jinshajiang River and elevated his reputation as a hero."

"It made the madman most disliked within the Laojiu Sect the focus of so much attention and affection."

"Truly, with one turn of a storyteller's tongue, black can be turned to white."

Old Lady Huo had lived a whole life, and while she understood these principles, she could not summarize them.

This was, in fact, the power of propaganda.

People often only empathize with things that are true, good, and beautiful.

Anything, as long as you add a touch of artistic color to it, changes its very nature.

The events involving Heibei Laoliu by the Jinshajiang River were, to put it bluntly, internal gang struggles.

They were filled with blood and darkness; if the audience had to learn about it themselves, they would definitely skip over it immediately.

But after Zhang Lin's artistic processing, the internal gang fight was suddenly imbued with tragic and romantic colors!

It was the same for Heibei Laoliu, and it could actually be the same for Chen Pi Ah Si!

Don't look at how the audience currently hates Chen Pi Ah Si to the bone.

But as long as Zhang Lin tells the story of Chen Pi Ah Si killing one person for a hundred coins in the coastal region during his youth,

these people will immediately change their views on Chen Pi Ah Si.

Some might even feel that the later Chen Pi Ah Si, who slaughtered the innocent, was actually a pitiful person.

This is the charm of storytelling, and it is the ultimate goal Zhang Lin pursues as a storyteller!

That is to constantly manipulate the audience's emotions, making them cry or laugh along with his stories!

Only in this way can the storytelling points in his system grow faster!

……

Knowing that Chen Pi Ah Si had his eyes blinded by the Miao leader and was handed over to the authorities and put in jail,

even the Eight Treasures Layer was confiscated by the authorities as a cultural relic.

Chen Pi Ah Si went through all that trouble, not only failing to get the items but also losing a pair of eyes.

The audience felt it was very satisfying!

At this moment, someone began to shout.

"Mr. Zhang, Chen Pi Ah Si has done so many evil things; this bit of retribution is not enough!"

"I also think so. He killed so many people, either slaughtering villages or wiping out families; just blinding a pair of eyes is letting him off easy!"

"If it were up to me, he should have paid with his life. I didn't expect him to be released after only a few years. It's truly unfair."

Hearing the audience criticizing Chen Pi Ah Si one after another,

Zhang Lin smiled and then said: "This old Chen Pi actually has decent luck. For such a big incident, he only lost a pair of eyes."

"Even after going to jail, he could walk away unscathed. Perhaps this is the karmic reward for the only good deed he did by the coastal river when he was young."

Hearing this, the audience was directly shocked!

Chen Pi Ah Si could do good deeds?

Did the sun rise from the west?

Chen Pi Ah Si was clearly a guy who would even shake an egg until the yolk broke; slaughtering families and villages was a daily routine.

Everyone didn't believe such a person could do good deeds!

Could it be that the Laojiu Sect was so particular about picking people that they happened to see the only shining point in a villain, which is why they listed Chen Pi Ah Si in the Pingsan Sect?

Seeing the audience looking curious,

Zhang Lin said: "I told you all before that Chen Pi Ah Si had two legendary events in his life."

"One was the treasure theft at the Mirror Palace; although he blinded a pair of eyes, he walked away unscathed."

"The other was his heroic act of hanging a sign to kill one person for a hundred coins at a dilapidated temple in the coastal area when he was a youth!"

"Human nature is complex. You all can also listen to what the great villain of the Laojiu Sect was like when he was young."

"Perhaps after hearing this story, you will change your views on Chen Pi Ah Si?"

These words instantly aroused the audience's rebellious psychology.

They wanted to see what kind of good deed a person so treacherous and evil, who killed like he was mowing grass, could possibly do!

And have it be talked about with such relish by a storyteller!
