Chapter 387

He said slowly: "Do you think what Mr. Zhang said makes sense?"

The student hurriedly replied: "Mr. Zhang took a different path to explain the two battles, as well as the role Han Xin played in them; it truly makes one benefit a great deal."

Professor Liu also nodded and said: "Now it increasingly indicates that this treasure exists, and that it once fell into Han Xin's hands."

"The appearance of Han Xin's descendants has the purpose of asking Zhang Qishan to help find the treasure and bring it out!"

"Presumably, the events that took place within this are also very spectacular!"

The student also chimed in: "I also think that the experiences of Zhang Dafo Ye can be considered full of ups and downs, with constant suspense."

"Mr. Zhang's storytelling is truly excellent! He has me so impatient that I want to know what happened next."

Hearing this, Professor Liu burst into loud laughter.

The thoughts in his heart were the same; he was very eager to hear the entire story.

However, on the surface, he remained reserved, not as open as the young people.

After Professor Liu finished laughing, he composed his mind and looked at Zhang Lin.

At this time, Zhang Lin had finished answering the doubts and finally shifted the perspective back to the story itself.

"Once the Buddha Lord knew that Mr. Wei was a descendant of Han Xin, he stood there stunned as if struck by lightning."

"After a long while, he asked with difficulty: 'Are you of the Guangxi Wei clan?'"

"Mr. Wei nodded: 'Correct. The only son of the Marquis of Huaiyin was secretly sent to Nanyue by Xiao He back then and handed over to the King of Nanyue, Zhao Tuo, to be raised. To avoid disaster, he took half of the character 'Han' and called himself the Wei clan.'"

"Upon hearing this, the Buddha Lord nodded repeatedly and said: 'No wonder the Guangxi Wei clan often worships the spirit tablet of Zhao Tuo; this is treating Zhao Tuo as a life-saving benefactor.'"

"After saying this, both of them fell silent."

"The Buddha Lord had received too much information at once and had been impacted; his mind was a mess."

"Mr. Wei, on the other hand, seemed to have no desires or demands; having said all this, he waited for the Buddha Lord to digest it himself."

"After a long while, the Buddha Lord finally came to his senses and asked Mr. Wei: 'Since you are a descendant of the Marquis of Huaiyin, logically you are the most qualified person to pick out the treasure; why do you say that only I can bring the treasure out?'"

"Mr. Wei sighed long and said: 'Since it is a treasure, it naturally has a temper; do not treat this stone as an ordinary treasure. Furthermore, who says that just because the Marquis of Huaiyin once obtained this treasure, it must bear the surname Han?'"

"According to Mr. Wei's account, this stone is a natural object born of heaven and earth, and it never belongs to anyone permanently; otherwise, how could it be that after thousands of years, they, the descendants of the Marquis of Huaiyin, also lost it?"

"Hearing this, the Buddha Lord's heart stirred, and a strange thought arose within him."

"He looked at Mr. Wei and said: 'Sir, do you mean to say that this thing will disappear on its own and choose its own master?'"

"The Buddha Lord felt this thought was too absurd and was still a bit embarrassed to ask it out loud, but unexpectedly, Mr. Wei looked at him with a face full of surprise and said: 'How did you know?'"

Everyone was shocked once again upon hearing Mr. Wei's words!

The Buddha Lord's casual guess had actually been correct!

This stone really would disappear on its own, only to be discovered by a fated person after a period of time.

Such magic is truly inconceivable!

It sounds as if this stone has consciousness?

Zhang Lin ignored the shock of the crowd and just continued: "The Buddha Lord saw Mr. Wei's surprise and explained: 'It's nothing, because you've been talking for so long without saying where the Marquis of Huaiyin obtained the treasure. Plus, you mentioned before that this treasure was later associated with the Hongwu Emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang, so I thought this thing might have changed hands several times.'"

"Mr. Wei nodded repeatedly, and only after a long while did he say: 'You are right, you are very right!'"

"Subsequently, Mr. Wei told the Buddha Lord that the Marquis of Huaiyin's opportunity to obtain the Unbeatable Stone began with that famous allusion: Xiao He chasing Han Xin under the moonlight."

"After Han Xin was not given important responsibilities under Xiang Yu, he turned to Liu Bang."

"Who would have thought that even with Xiahou Ying's recommendation and Xiao He repeatedly persuading Liu Bang, feeling that Han Xin was a talent and hoping Liu Bang would use him, he still did not receive Liu Bang's attention."

"Coupled with the fact that Xiang Yu had already entered Xianyang and Liu Bang was holed up in Hanzhong, seemingly having lost his grand ambitions, Han Xin, in a state of despondency, left quietly on a moonlit night."

"When Xiao He found out, he mounted a fast horse and chased after Han Xin."

"According to Mr. Wei, when Han Xin rode his horse to the side of a river, he stopped."

"He looked up at the bright moon in the sky and then at the murmuring river water on the ground, lamenting that he was born at the wrong time!"

"Just at this moment, the shadow of the moonlight projected into the river, and Han Xin felt his eyes dazzled by something."

"Out of curiosity, he abandoned his warhorse and walked into the river, and among the stones at the bottom of the river, he fished out a strange stone!"

"When Mr. Wei reached this point, the Buddha Lord's whole body tensed up; he knew that Han Xin's feeling was exactly the feeling one should have when touching the Unbeatable Stone."

"In two days, he would also have to follow this group of captives to touch the stones dug out by the Japanese soldiers one by one, so he had to firmly remember what Mr. Wei said."

When Zhang Lin reached this point, the listeners also wished they could prick up their ears.

The feeling of touching the Unbeatable Stone?

This is an experience unique to Han Xin!

I am afraid that if it weren't for the fact that the Marquis of Huaiyin still had descendants alive, these would all become mysteries.

From what Mr. Wei said, it can be seen that Han Xin was not the only person to have obtained this stone.

The Hongwu Emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang, is also suspected!

As a founding monarch, Zhu Yuanzhang himself certainly would not leave behind any records regarding the Unbeatable Stone.

With the dignity of an emperor, it must never be known that he was influenced by external forces.

Therefore, Han Xin's initial feeling upon contacting the treasure appears particularly precious.

……

"Han Xin held that peculiar stone in his hand, yet he was unable to describe its appearance!"

"The Buddha Lord, hearing Mr. Wei say this, immediately retorted: 'That is not right! The object was already in the Marquis of Huaiyin's hands, how could there be talk of it being indescribable?'"

"Mr. Wei, however, said seriously: 'The words of my ancestors are exactly so!'"

"It turned out that when Han Xin held this stone in his hand, he knew in his heart that it was a stone, but when he wanted to say what shape or color this stone was, he discovered that his mind was completely blank!"

"Han Xin felt shocked, thinking he had encountered something evil at night, and wanted to throw the stone away."

"Just at this moment, he suddenly felt a kind of will from the stone!"

"That will caused a sense of heroism to rise in Han Xin's heart; it seemed that all difficult problems could be solved easily."

"This feeling was very ethereal; even for him, he had to calm his mind to perceive it."

"When Han Xin grasped the stone and stood in the river for a full quarter of an hour, he finally understood that the stone in his hand was a treasure!"

"That will was translated by Han Xin as 'unbeatable'; holding this stone in his hand, he would never lose!"

"Han Xin, holding the stone, felt that helping Liu Bang break out of Hanzhong was not a difficult task, and he even thought of several plans in his heart!"

"Han Xin, having just obtained the treasure, did not feel joy; instead, he felt some fear, and he threw the stone back into the river in one motion."

"Once the treasure left his person, that sense of heroism and ambition immediately disappeared!"

"At this moment, having thrown away the stone that made him feel somewhat fearful, Han Xin's heart was not at peace; on the contrary, he began to miss the feeling of holding the stone just now!"

"It was as if there were some kind of inner demon; once one has experienced that feeling of being unbeatable under heaven, one can never forget it."

"Driven by an irresistible force, Han Xin bent down and picked up the stone again, and also picked up his own future!"

"Han Xin, holding the stone again, heard shouts coming from behind; it was Xiao He who had arrived."

"As soon as Xiao He arrived, he reproached him with a look of regret: 'Why must you be so willful and leave?'"

"Before Xiao He could persuade him, Han Xin suddenly said to Xiao He: 'Prime Minister, if I return, can you persuade the King of Han to appoint me as Grand General?'"

"Hearing Han Xin's request, Xiao He was stunned, and then said: 'If you return with me, I will do my utmost to persuade the King of Han.'"

"Hearing this, Han Xin, standing in his wet clothes under the moonlight, said to Xiao He: 'Then I, Han, swear an oath with the Prime Minister under the moonlight: if the King of Han appoints me as Grand General, I will surely lead the Han army to break out of Hanzhong and return to Xianyang!'"

"As for what happened later, you all know; Han Xin indeed kept his word, and could be considered as not failing the oath made with Xiao He under the moonlight."

When the story reached this point, the crowd finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Just now, when Zhang Lin spoke of Han Xin holding the supreme treasure, many people held their breath, feeling extremely nervous.

Now, after hearing it, besides being shocked, there was also confusion!

Mr. Wei had indeed told Zhang Dafo Ye about the feeling of holding the stone.

But what the stone looked like was equivalent to not being said at all!

What Mr. Wei said was that it was indescribable; this statement was too absurd, and many people could not agree with it.

Zhang Lin, however, said: "Don't you all think that it is more reasonable for Mr. Wei to say the treasure's appearance is indescribable?"

"Otherwise, the Japanese soldiers wouldn't have been digging in the wilderness for over half a year without any harvest!"

"Let us just assume this is the treasure's own defense mechanism!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd, although still having doubts, knew that there was no place to reason this out.

Mr. Wei, as a descendant of Han Xin, was the only person who knew the truth.

Even the Japanese soldiers had no doubts about Mr. Wei, which shows that the information this group of Japanese soldiers obtained was much the same as Mr. Wei's.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have made everyone try one by one!

At this time, Zhang Lin continued: "Zhang Dafo Ye also understood why Mr. Wei would look for him."

"Since even Han Xin could not describe the appearance of the treasure and could only perceive it when held in his hand, then one could only adopt the most primitive method."
