Chapter 41

Master Zhang thought Zhang Lin was talking about him.

So he asked Fatty as if unintentionally: "Does the storyteller mention the name of this person who knows the Hill-Felling Finger?"

Fatty immediately replied: "Yes, his name is Zhang Yancheng!"

Hearing this, Master Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

But then he felt vaguely uncomfortable.

To be honest, in terms of the Hill-Felling Finger and two-finger hole-probing, he was much stronger than that Zhang Yancheng.

This storyteller only knew Zhang Yancheng, but didn't mention him?

Could it be that he didn't know of his existence?

Thinking of this, Master Zhang suddenly had a bit of interest in Zhang Lin's storytelling.

He really wanted to hear what kind of story this storyteller would tell if he talked about him, about the Zhang family?

After all, Zhang Lin's storytelling was always about events through characters.

A story without characters cannot be called a story!

Master Zhang had some pasts that even he himself had forgotten; this was the soul-loss syndrome brought about by the Zhang Qilin bloodline, which could only be found slowly.

If this storyteller told his story, what could he possibly say?

Just at this moment, someone from the archaeological team began calling everyone.

The strong acid had been drained, and they could dig open the brick roof to enter the ancient tomb!

Instantly, everyone gathered their focus and crowded toward the tomb pit.

And on the other side, after finishing the little story about the Hill-Felling Finger, Zhang Lin.

Began to officially start talking about Chen Pi A-Si!

……

"You must all remember that I said before, among the Old Nine Gates, the Lower Three Sects are thieves."

"In the case of Black-Back Old Six, this 'thief' character was not yet obvious enough."

"But in Chen Pi A-Si, it is displayed vividly and thoroughly."

"When the ancients said 'thief,' it didn't just refer to petty thieves."

"The extremely treacherous and evil are thieves, those who commit crimes are thieves, the extremely vicious are thieves, and even those who steal the country and manipulate power can be called thieves."

"This Chen Pi A-Si is such a thief, the head of the extremely vicious!"

"He is ruthless and kills without blinking; fighting and killing are just daily routines for him."

"Although he is a ruthless person, his skills are supernatural."

"His iron marbles are more accurate than a gun, and his nine-claw hook can hook back a raw egg from over ten meters away without breaking it when it lands!"

"Such skills are among the best in the Old Nine Gates."

Hearing this, the audience had already gradually outlined the image of Chen Pi A-Si in their minds.

This was a person completely different from Black-Back Old Six.

If there was still a bit of chivalry in Black-Back Old Six, then Chen Pi A-Si completely erased that bit of chivalry from the Old Nine Gates.

Yin Yin Nanfeng, hearing the name Chen Pi A-Si, asked curiously: "If this Old Chen Pi is still alive, he must be over ninety, right? Is this person still alive?"

Zhang Yueshan said: "The storyteller already called him a thief; 'to be old and not die is to be a thief,' of course he can't die."

Yin Yin Nanfeng nodded, "That's true, good people don't live long, and scourges last for a thousand years."

"Chen Pi A-Si, now he must also be called Fourth Uncle Chen."

……

"Chen Pi A-Si was originally a disciple of the Upper Three Sects' opera singer, Er Yuehong."

"Because of his extremely high talent, he was accepted as an exception!"

"From a theoretical standpoint, Er Yuehong's tomb-raiding skills, as an old Old Changsha hand, were never passed on to outsiders."

"From a practical standpoint, people from the southern ports couldn't sing flower-drum opera, so it was a unique occurrence."

"Many people speculate that there were some unknown origins between Er Yuehong and Chen Pi A-Si."

"As for what these origins are, even the Old Nine Gates don't know."

"Although I know, it doesn't have much to do with today's storytelling content, so I won't mention it for now."

By now, the audience was already used to Zhang Lin's "won't mention it for now."

Whatever he didn't want to say, no matter how you asked, Zhang Lin wouldn't say it.

So everyone had to continue listening to Zhang Lin.

"As a disciple of Er Yuehong, Chen Pi A-Si was treated extremely well by Er Yuehong."

"But if you were a disciple of Chen Pi, it was completely the opposite."

"Chen Pi A-Si is most famous for killing his disciples; being his disciple often meant wealth one day and death the next."

"But even so, there were still people lining up to become his disciples; for no other reason than that Chen Pi A-Si was extremely generous."

"As the saying goes, wealth is sought in danger; Chen Pi A-Si, whenever he raided a tomb, would immediately divide the loot on the spot."

"Therefore, in terms of money, he never mistreated his disciples, and these people knew that following him meant making money!"

"Listen, everyone, is this person much better than some bosses today?"

"However, if anyone thinks that following him to raid tombs is good just because he doesn't care about money, then they are very wrong."

"To what extent is Chen Pi A-Si ruthless and paranoid? I will tell you about a major case from back then, and you will know."

"This case caused a sensation at the time; I'm afraid you can still find it if you check the local county annals now."

"That time, Chen Pi A-Si, for the sake of an ancient tomb, went insane and slaughtered an entire village!"

…….

"It is said that one day, Chen Pi A-Si and his disciples came to a village and found the terrain very peculiar."

"So they inquired about legends locally and learned that the snow in this village melted particularly early!"

"Generally speaking, if there is a problem with the geology under a village, it will cause the ground temperature to be slightly higher than other places, and the snow will naturally melt early."

"Chen Pi A-Si felt there was something to it; there might be something good under this village!"

"But as for the specific location, there were too many houses, making it impossible to judge."

"Having no other choice, Chen Pi A-Si could only search house by house."

"But working in a village is not like working in the wild; there are too many eyes, and progress was very slow."

"At first, they wanted to buy the house that was most likely."

"But too many people lived in that large courtyard, and it was very troublesome to negotiate."

"Chen Pi A-Si hardened his heart and, without considering so much, decided directly: kill them all!"

"That night, the group sneaked into the residence, took out towels and curved knives, and killed everyone in the large courtyard."

"They piled the corpses in the inner room, sprinkled lime, and then moved into the courtyard openly to start probing the ground."

"However, after searching for a long time, they found there was nothing under that house, so it was clear they had found the wrong place."

"At this point, Chen Pi A-Si naturally wouldn't give up; the next night, he sneaked into the neighbor's house and killed everyone in the same way, repeating his old trick."

"But after probing the ground again, he found it was still wrong; this repeated, and more and more people died; the people killed in the first house had even started to stink."

"Yet Chen Pi A-Si's men were completely like night demons, killing people every night like weasels stealing chickens."

"In the end, which house to kill tonight was decided entirely by rolling dice!"

"Half a month later, more than half of the village had been killed."

"Only then did Chen Pi A-Si realize he had misjudged this time; there was no ancient tomb under the village at all."

Hearing this, some people already felt a chill down their spines.

Chen Pi A-Si was simply insane!

For the sake of an ancient tomb that had no trace, he killed people just like that.

And he didn't just kill one household; whoever blocked his way, he killed!

He could even eat and live with rotting, stinking corpses.

This psychological quality was truly a ruthless person in the absolute sense!

What was most speechless was that after killing so many people, he found he had misjudged, and there was no ancient tomb in the village at all.

Didn't this mean those innocent people died in vain?

Just when everyone thought that Chen Pi A-Si had confirmed there was no ancient tomb and he had misjudged.

And after killing so many people, he should have run away, who knew that Zhang Lin's next words would make everyone's jaws drop.

"You must think that at this time, Chen Pi A-Si should have taken his disciples and left this village."

"But that is the thinking of normal people; don't forget, this is Chen Pi A-Si!"

"So, in his frustration, Chen Pi A-Si directly set a fire and burned the village!"

"This act wiped out the remaining forty-plus lives, including children and pregnant women; not a single person in the entire village was spared!"

"For the sake of a non-existent tomb, he slaughtered a village; this is the style of Chen Pi A-Si!"

"You must think this person is simply a devil, but Chen Pi A-Si felt this behavior was perfectly normal."

"Anyone who blocks him from finding an ancient tomb to raid must die!"

Hearing this, many in the audience couldn't help but frown.

It was really that this person Chen Pi gave people such a bad impression!

With Black-Back Old Six as a pearl before him, this Chen Pi A-Si seemed like he wasn't human.

Some people felt Black-Back Old Six wasn't a madman at all.

This Chen Pi A-Si was a thorough madman!

At this time, some audience members couldn't help but start asking Zhang Lin questions.

"Mr. Zhang, Chen Pi A-Si is so cruel, and he is Er Yuehong's disciple; is Er Yuehong also this kind of person?"

"I don't think it's possible, right? Er Yuehong is an opera singer; is there such a vicious opera singer? Maybe his master didn't even know about these things Chen Pi A-Si did!"

"Chen Pi's tomb-raiding skills were all taught by his master, right? It seems his master is not a kind person either."

"This sect of Chen Pi A-Si is really strange; both the master and the disciple are strange!"

Zhang Lin smiled faintly upon hearing everyone's questions.

For a person like Er Yuehong to accept Chen Pi A-Si, it was probably the most regrettable decision of his life.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have expelled Chen Pi A-Si from the sect after he couldn't bear it anymore.

Therefore, Zhang Lin replied directly: "The Second Master of the Upper Three Sects is of course not that kind of person, so when he learned that Chen Pi was using the skills he taught to raid tombs outside and slaughter the innocent, he expelled Chen Pi A-Si from the sect."

"This village slaughter tragedy also happened after Chen Pi was expelled from the sect."
