Chapter 398

~7 min read 1,282 words

The appearance of this character whose name Zhang Lin hasn't explicitly stated directly pushed the story to another climax.

There is no need to question this person's identity; he is definitely Zhang Qishan's noble person!

Zhang Qishan at that time was slightly immature; after talking with Mr. Wei, he didn't discover the abnormality until the appearance of this noble person.

The attention of the whole audience was focused on Zhang Lin, and everyone wanted to know the process of the Buddha Lord touching the treasure.

And what exactly did this noble person notice?

From what he said, it can be seen that Mr. Wei's identity is questionable.

At least the identity of being a descendant of Han Xin is very problematic!

Zhang Lin shook his fan and said slowly: "It is not convenient to say the name of this noble person, so let's give him a code name like Mr. Wei, and call him Mr. Noble for now!"

The listeners below, hearing this, couldn't help but twitch their mouths.

Zhang Lin's code name…… was given too casually……

It can also be seen that he doesn't want to give this person any directional symbols.

"This Mr. Noble, after hearing what Zhang Dafo Ye said, immediately noticed Mr. Wei's abnormality, but Zhang Qishan still couldn't figure it out."

"He asked with a confused face: 'According to what you mean, he doesn't want to double-cross?'"

"Mr. Noble smiled and shook his head: 'How could it be a double-cross? If he could use this thing, he could find the stone himself like Han Xin! If he didn't lie to you, holding this stone would make one unbeatable, then he could take the thing and escape to safety and fly away!'"

"Zhang Qishan thought about it, and it made sense, but he still couldn't figure out where the problem was?"

Following Zhang Lin's storytelling, everyone was also thinking along.

Actually, from the moment Mr. Wei exposed his Han Xin identity, some people had already vaguely noticed something wrong.

Especially since he told Zhang Qishan the secret of the Unbeatable Stone in such detail; this point is strange no matter how you look at it!

But the audience didn't have Celestial Master Zhang to enlighten them on the side, so they hadn't seen Mr. Wei's problem yet.

"Mr. Noble, seeing Zhang Qishan lost in thought, even forgetting the work in his hands, immediately reminded him."

"The Buddha Lord was shocked, and when he looked up, there were already Japanese soldiers looking at them."

"He hurriedly lowered his head, worked seriously, and asked: 'Since that's the case, why do you say he wants to call himself a descendant of Han Xin and tell me such a big secret?'"

"Mr. Noble didn't answer, but asked another brainless question: 'Is the time for captives to touch the stone fixed? Is there a rule of once every three days or once every two days?'"

"Speaking of this, the Buddha Lord also immediately thought that he had doubted this time arrangement for touching the treasure."

"Actually, there is no such thing as three days or two days; the Japanese soldiers' arrangement for this time to touch the treasure is not fixed at all!"

"It looks like they are doing it as they please; they touch a wave when they have enough stones, a bit like everyone opening blind boxes now."

"Zhang Dafo Ye knew this time interval, and although he had doubts, he never thought about it carefully. Now that it was raised by Mr. Noble, he suddenly felt that he had ignored something."

"The Buddha Lord said to Mr. Noble: 'The time is not fixed, it's all temporary notice, but…… that descendant of Han Xin, Mr. Wei, seems to know when the treasure will be touched; he asked me to prepare yesterday!'"

"Hearing this, Mr. Noble nodded and asked again: 'Then have there been any special circumstances in these few times of touching the treasure? Any circumstances can be said, weather, temperature, or the time of morning, noon, or evening.'"

"The Buddha Lord began to ponder, but still asked casually: 'What influence do special circumstances have? Could it be that like Han Xin, it is only suitable to touch the stone on a moonlit night?'"

"The Buddha Lord said this casually, but didn't expect Mr. Noble to shake his head and say: 'It's not a moonlit night, I'm afraid it's another celestial phenomenon; look up at the sky.'"

"The Buddha Lord, hearing this, was somewhat confused. When he looked up at the sky, he discovered that the already chaotic sun had slowly disappeared into the thick clouds; it looked like the weather was going to change."

"Such thick clouds clearly meant it was going to rain heavily."

"But the rain in the northern winter comes slowly; judging by this situation, this rain won't come down until tomorrow."

"If this is the case, there will definitely be no moonlight when touching the stone tomorrow, which is completely different from Han Xin's situation of finding treasure in the river."

Zhang Lin paused slightly when he reached this point and drank some tea to moisten his throat.

Old Lady Huo on the second floor took this opportunity to say to Chang San beside her with great interest: "It's truly bizarre; after this Mr. Noble appeared, things became even more confusing."

"Chang San, your brain turns fast; tell me, what does this celestial phenomenon have to do with touching the treasure?"

At this moment, Chang San was staring at Zhang Lin without moving.

The cold light in his eyes had never appeared in all the years he had served Old Lady Huo.

Especially when hearing Mr. Noble mention that celestial phenomena would be different, Chang San secretly clenched his fists.

Old Lady Huo saw that she had asked a question, but Chang San didn't answer.

She picked up the cane at hand and knocked it on Chang San.

"I'm talking to you, old woman? What are you dazing for?"

This poke brought Chang San back to his senses, and he instantly changed his posture, bowing to Old Lady Huo.

"This…… I don't understand either; now I only know that when the Marquis of Huaiyin obtained the treasure, it was a moonlit night."

"This Mr. Wei didn't say what it was like when others obtained the treasure, so it's hard to judge."

Old Lady Huo nodded, but then sneered and said: "Since this so-called descendant of Han Xin actually has problems, then what he told the Buddha Lord may not all be true."

"Looking at the Buddha Lord's backer mentioning celestial phenomena, I think the moonlit night theory is open to question; it's possible it wasn't a moonlit night at all!"

Chang San's expression changed, but he echoed: "You are right."

……

Zhang Lin, after finishing the theory of celestial phenomena, was intentionally observing everyone in the field.

He wanted to see if anyone would take the bait?

"Noticing that the weather would change tomorrow, the Buddha Lord said with some worry: 'If it rains, can we still touch the stone?'"

"Mr. Noble, however, had a calm look and replied: 'Touching the treasure tomorrow will definitely proceed as scheduled. You have read history books, right? Do you remember what season it was when Han Xin was rushing on a moonlit night?'"

"Zhang Dafo Ye thought about it and said: 'It was winter……'"

"After saying this, the Buddha Lord shook his whole body; it was winter when Han Xin obtained the treasure."

"Now they have come to the wilderness to dig and touch the treasure, and it is also winter; what connection could there be in this?"

"Could it be that this Unbeatable Stone only appears in winter?"
