Chapter 412

~7 min read 1,270 words

In the Crescent Hotel, everyone had completely understood the issue of Zhang Qishan's permissions.

Of course, they would also feel sorry for Zhang Qishan.

After all, he could see and touch the treasure, but couldn't use it.

To some extent, this feeling is more uncomfortable than never having obtained it at all!

Zhang Lin glanced at the crowd below and continued: "As long as it's a normal person, holding a treasure but not being able to use it, they will feel uncomfortable in their heart, and the Fo Ye was the same."

"But at this time, he had been holding this stone for a while; to avoid attracting attention, the Fo Ye put down the Unyielding Stone in his hand and started pretending to touch others."

"Zhang Dafo Ye is now extremely nervous, not only standing under the thunderstorm clouds touching for treasure, but there is also a group of Japanese soldiers with live ammunition watching him; this is much more stimulating than any time he has gone down to raid a tomb!"

"After touching a pile of stones, one has to rotate and transfer positions; the Fo Ye's mind turned rapidly; he must find a way to hide this stone before changing stone piles!"

"At this moment, there were Japanese soldiers eyeing him covetously all around; the Fo Ye couldn't find a chance to make a move at all."

"Looking at that stone still emitting treasure light, the Fo Ye was also worried that this stone would be taken away by others."

"But he observed for a while and discovered an interesting phenomenon: the people surrounding the stone pile touching stones all seemed as if they couldn't see this stone."

"Every person, when reaching their hand toward the stone, chose to bypass it."

"Some even almost touched it, but forcibly turned their hand in another direction!"

"The Fo Ye, seeing this, felt a move in his heart; seeing the Japanese soldiers didn't notice him, he wanted to ask a prisoner beside him if he saw a strange stone."

"But when the Fo Ye wanted to describe that small stone, he discovered that his mind was actually empty, and he couldn't think of a single adjective."

"He could only tell others that there was a stone there, but couldn't tell others what the stone looked like or how big it was!"

"This eerie situation was really exactly the same as what Mr. Wei said."

Everyone hearing this felt both curious and yearning.

A stone that cannot be described or characterized, what would that be like?

And except for the Fo Ye, others seemed as if they couldn't see it!

So even if he wanted to tell others that there was a stone of a certain shape there, there was no way.

The self-protection mechanism of this stone is to make those with permission unable to describe it.

So for thousands of years, those who could see and touch it couldn't say what it looked like.

Those who couldn't see it would never know what it looked like!

To say it's mysterious, this stone is definitely mysterious enough!

Even now, people only "heard" it's a stone.

As for whether it really is, that's really impossible to determine.

Some even guessed that it might not be a stone at all.

But those who saw it felt it was a stone, so they described it that way.

Just like that question that bothers many people.

Why is a chair called a chair, and what was a chair called before it was called a chair?

The first person to call it a chair, why did he know it was a chair?

The Fo Ye saw that others couldn't see the Unyielding Stone and was afraid the stone would be taken away by others.

So he wanted to find someone to experiment with; he would tell the other person what the stone looked like and let the other person touch it!

But obviously, this idea didn't hold up!

……

"The Fo Ye saw that he couldn't describe the Unyielding Stone to others, and the people touching stones around him all acted as if they didn't see the stone; a bold idea arose in his heart!"

"As soon as this idea appeared, Zhang Qishan's hands shook a bit, because it was too risky!"

"What he thought of was the principle of 'darkness under the lamp'; since others couldn't see this stone and the treasure light, if he took it directly, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

"After all, in the Fo Ye's eyes, the treasure light of that stone was very obvious; as long as one wasn't blind, one could see it!"

"With a plan in mind, the Fo Ye couldn't help but look at Mr. Wei not far away."

"Mr. Wei was scanning the crowd at this time, his eyes still extremely cold."

"But when his gaze swept to Zhang Dafo Ye, he actually nodded without leaving a trace."

"The Fo Ye's heart contracted violently; he quickly lowered his head, understanding in his heart that this was Mr. Wei telling him that his plan was feasible!"

"Originally, the Fo Ye thought Mr. Wei would continue to pretend not to know him, but didn't expect he would still find a chance to give him a hint!"

"Since that was the case, the Fo Ye's courage grew much larger; when reaching out to touch a stone next to the Unyielding Stone, he quickly held two stones in his hand at once."

"Fortunately, the divine stone wasn't too big, so holding two at once didn't look cramped."

"Having settled the most important thing, the Fo Ye's heart finally let go of half; although he was still worried that the stone in his hand would be discovered, he also had the energy to observe the surroundings."

"The first thing the Fo Ye noticed was Mr. Wei; this person had a problem, and the Fo Ye had also noticed it, but until now, he hadn't seen what the problem was."

"Just at this moment, some sporadic Japanese words drifted into the Fo Ye's ears."

"It was that Japanese officer talking to Mr. Wei in Japanese!"

"I haven't told you before, but Zhang Qishan, Zhang Dafo Ye, is smart and alert, especially good at learning!"

"He didn't know a single word of Japanese originally, but having stayed in the concentration camp for so long and often listening to Japanese soldiers talk, he actually slowly learned some."

Hearing this, many people's faces showed expressions of admiration.

They all say that learning a language requires an environment, and Zhang Qishan is now in such an environment.

But language is not something you can learn just by listening to others speak; the most important thing is to speak it yourself.

Zhang Qishan had never spoken Japanese, yet he could understand seven or eight out of ten; one has to say that in learning, he is a genius!

Everyone finally understood why that benefactor would promote him so much after he left the concentration camp.

Having the grace of saving his life is one aspect, and Zhang Qishan's personal ability is another!

He must have had extremely excellent personal ability for that backer to spare no effort to promote him, leaving others with nothing to say!

Yin Nanfeng, hearing this, asked curiously: "Is this ability of the Zhang family to learn fast a personal talent, or a bloodline talent?"

"Zhang Dafo Ye is like this, and it is said that the Qilin of your main family is also like this."

"Learning things is like having a personal teacher with them, the speed is extremely fast!"
