Chapter 389

Zhang Dafo Ye's question made the spine of almost everyone listening to the story turn cold!

As long as one is human, no one is not moved upon hearing the function of the treasure!

Zhang Dafo Ye was the same; before the object was even in his hands, he was already calculating how to use it to build his career.

He even fantasized that he could be like Han Xin, becoming a king or prime minister.

But Mr. Wei's words were equivalent to a ladle of cold water poured over his head!

Mr. Wei asked Zhang Dafo Ye if he wanted Han Xin's achievements, and if he also wanted Han Xin's end?

This was practically reading the Buddha Lord's ID card and then pointing at his nose to say, you will die a miserable death after taking the treasure!

This result made many onlookers feel surprised.

If Zhang Dafo Ye would not have a good end using this thing, then Mr. Wei looking for him to excavate the treasure was too unreasonable.

This was equivalent to making the horse run while not giving it grass to eat!

Mr. Wei told Zhang Qishan everything about the Unbeatable Stone in great detail and even stated that only he could bring the treasure out.

Yet in the end, he told the Buddha Lord that he couldn't use this thing!?

This contradictory approach left many people puzzled.

Some people even had such a strong sense of immersion in the story that they already felt their anger soaring!

Isn't this just treating oneself as a tool?

What Zhang Dafo Ye had to do was not simple; he not only had to find the treasure but also had to bring it out.

And all this had to be completed under the noses of the Japanese soldiers!

Although Mr. Wei would certainly cooperate, this behavior was no different from pulling chestnuts from the fire.

Once discovered, the end would be being torn apart by five horses!

The Japanese soldiers' methods of torturing people were far more cruel than imagined.

In Zhang Dafo Ye's own words, falling into the hands of the Japanese soldiers was not much better than Han Xin being pounded to death by the woman at the mountain base back then.

The audience's emotions were driven wildly, and they were all thinking about what they would do if they were Zhang Qishan at this moment.

Zhang Lin felt the series of storytelling points being credited in his mind.

He sighed that, indeed, adventures and treasures are the most heart-stirring!

Even though this Unbeatable Stone had nothing to do with many people now, and they might never have the chance to see the treasure in their whole lives.

But hearing that others might have the chance to obtain it, they couldn't help but have their moods rise and fall!

……

Old Lady Huo in the second-floor box couldn't help but sneer upon hearing Mr. Wei's words.

Her skin was already deathly pale, and her laugh was sinister, making Chang San, who was serving her on the side, feel a chill in his heart.

Old Lady Huo sneered while saying: "This descendant of Han Xin, Mr. Wei, is truly interesting; he actually set his sights on the Buddha Lord."

"Zhang Qishan is not someone who scares easily; if he doesn't offer concrete benefits, how could the Buddha Lord do such a dangerous thing for him?"

Chang San asked carefully on the side: "Do you think it's possible that the Buddha Lord is paying lip service?"

"That he doesn't believe what Mr. Wei said at all, and will just run away with the treasure after finding it?"

"Anyway, the function of this treasure is to be unbeatable; as long as the Buddha Lord gets his hands on it, the Japanese soldiers certainly won't be able to catch him!"

Hearing this, Old Lady Huo giggled.

She turned her head to look at Chang San and said: "I hadn't noticed, you actually have some wit!"

"This method sounds quite feasible! It's just a pity, the Buddha Lord won't use it."

Chang San, hearing this, asked with a curious face: "How do you know the Buddha Lord won't use it?"

Old Lady Huo's gaze drifted into the distance, and she began to reminisce about the past.

"Because you don't understand Zhang Qishan as a person; broadly speaking, he has great righteousness in his heart, and narrowly speaking, he is the best at weighing pros and cons."

"This is true for himself, and it is also true for us old folks!"

"Secretly running away with the Unbeatable Stone involves risks."

"In the case of not being sure whether what Mr. Wei said is true or false, the possibility of a miserable end is fifty percent."

"Zhang Qishan won't do things with less than seventy percent certainty; he once said that the remaining thirty percent depends on heaven's will, but seventy percent is the prerequisite!"

Chang San suddenly understood; Zhang Dafo Ye's way of doing things meant he was destined to weigh the pros and cons.

It is estimated that he will only consider his actions after Mr. Wei states all the conditions!

Although he is a captive of the Japanese soldiers at the moment, once interests are involved, everyone will have eight hundred schemes in their minds.

Old Lady Huo had dealt with Zhang Dafo Ye for many years and had long known that Zhang Qishan would not act rashly without certain assurance.

What's more, the serious consequences mentioned by Mr. Wei were not something an ordinary person's mental fortitude could withstand.

This is the power of a physiognomist!

You don't have to believe his words, but they are like a sharp sword that will always hang over your head.

The more burdened a person's mind is, the sharper this sword becomes!

……

The crowd below had different thoughts, and everyone looked at Zhang Lin.

They wanted to know what Mr. Wei relied on to move Zhang Qishan.

At this time, they heard Zhang Lin continue: "Actually, before Mr. Wei could answer, Zhang Qishan knew that he must have seen something in his physiognomy."

"Mr. Wei did not hide it either; he said directly: 'I observe your physiognomy, and you are not the fated person for the treasure, but you can become the beneficiary of the treasure.'"

"This statement was fresh and immediately hooked Zhang Qishan's curiosity."

"Mr. Wei added: 'This is the east wind I spoke to you about! The treasure in your hands might not even be as effective as it was in my ancestor's hands!'"

"Hearing this conclusion, Zhang Dafo Ye felt slightly unhappy in his heart."

"He felt that this kind of remote comparison didn't count! Especially since Han Xin was already dead, there was no way to compare even if he wanted to."

"Mr. Wei, seeing the Buddha Lord's expression, knew what he was thinking, and he smiled and said: 'Have you heard Li Taibai's line: 'The Great Peng rises with the wind one day, soaring ninety thousand li up into the sky'?'"

"Zhang Dafo Ye, feeling unhappy in his heart, retorted directly: 'Not only have I heard it, I've also heard 'The great wind rises, the clouds fly away'!'"

"This line is a poem by Liu Bang; strictly speaking, Liu Bang could be considered Mr. Wei's enemy. The Buddha Lord mentioning this poem was also to annoy Mr. Wei."

Everyone hearing this smiled knowingly.

At that time, Zhang Qishan was young, and his speech and actions still had some impetuousness.

To annoy someone to their face like this is something that would be absolutely impossible to see in the future leader of the Laojiu Sect, Zhang Dafo Ye.

"Mr. Wei, hearing Zhang Qishan say this, showed no anger, but said in a warm tone: 'Actually, both poems are about the same to you. You are both the warrior in Liu Bang's poem who guards the four directions, and the Kunpeng in Li Taibai's poem that soars straight up!'"

"The Buddha Lord, hearing this, suddenly realized, and he looked at Mr. Wei and said: 'You mean to say that this treasure must pass through my hands and be handed over to someone who can help me soar? Is this the east wind you spoke of?'"

"Mr. Wei nodded, with an expression of 'a child who can be taught.'"

"Zhang Qishan felt something strange in his heart; the current him was not yet the warlord who would dominate Changsha in the future."

"At this time, Zhang Qishan was, to put it bluntly, a man whose family was broken and dead!"

"His clan had been expelled from the main Zhang family, there was no place for them in the Northeast, and even his father had been killed by the Japanese."

"If Zhang Qishan could escape, without his father's protection, he would have to support the livelihood of his family in Changsha."

"The fastest way to make money he could think of should still be tomb-raiding, competing for food with the Southern-style grave robbers!"

"But Zhang Qishan's ambitions did not lie there; he always felt that he should accomplish a great career."

"Now that the situation is turbulent, it is a good time to accomplish a career, but the risks are also huge."

"For someone like him with no roots, no foundation, and no status background, even if he joined the army, he would inevitably start from the grassroots, and who knows when he might die in some insignificant war."

"Therefore, hearing Mr. Wei compare him to a Kunpeng soaring straight up, Zhang Qishan knew that the east wind that would help him take off was the key!"

"That stone was the letter of intent he presented, and also his bargaining chip!"

At this moment, the Xinyue Hotel was silent.
