Seeing this, Zhang Lin said with a hint of teasing: "Shall we start storytelling then?"

"But let's agree first, no matter what the Xisha archaeological team encounters in the tomb passage in a moment, you must not scream!"

"My storytelling here requires concentration; a sudden shout can easily scare the words right back into my throat!"

The audience below began to roar with laughter.

Zhang Lin paused and continued: "Yesterday we mentioned that Zhang Dafo Ye had successfully taken the non-losing stone, boarded the Japanese soldiers' truck, and returned to the concentration camp!"

"If this trip goes smoothly, he will regain his freedom in less than two days."

"Sitting on the truck, Fo Ye was incredibly excited, his hand tightly gripping the non-losing stone, not daring to let go."

"Even his mind was somewhat dizzy with the excitement of his emotions."

"It wasn't until he re-entered the concentration camp and saw the horizon beginning to turn white that Fo Ye's heart gradually calmed down."

"He knew that today was critical, because there were no results from touching treasures, so digging for stones had to continue."

"Mr. Gui would be taken away to work for the day, and they would only have a chance to chat for a while before resting at night."

"This meant that this stone would have to stay in Fo Ye's hands for a whole day."

"This day, Fo Ye spent in fear and trepidation, basically lying on the bed and covering himself up."

"He also wondered if Mr. Wei would come to see him alone to continue explaining things about the non-losing stone."

"But until night fell, Zhang Qishan realized he had thought too much; Mr. Wei had never shown his face at all."

"It seemed that by revealing the news of the non-losing stone to him, Mr. Wei's task was considered complete."

Hearing this, everyone also felt it was somewhat unreasonable.

By logic, the stone had already been obtained by Zhang Qishan.

If Mr. Wei was truly a descendant of Han Xin and cared so much about this divine stone, he wouldn't even show his face.

What was even more eerie was that, as a descendant of Han Xin, the person most qualified to obtain this stone seemed to want to see it find a new owner very much!

Could there be such a generous person in the world?

Many people put themselves in his shoes and felt they couldn't do it!

Not to mention that the treasure was used by their own ancestors and should have been most qualified for the descendants to obtain.

Even if this divine stone wasn't their own, they would still risk everything to fight for it.

Mr. Wei's approach was simply like a saint!

"Zhang Qishan was full of doubts, and the doubts turned into anxiety, spreading in the bottom of his heart."

"Seeing that the prisoners who went to work today were about to return to the camp, he felt even more impatient."

"It was only after they had finished eating collectively and had a short rest before sleep that Zhang Qishan had the opportunity to get close to Mr. Gui."

"In the barracks, there were people chatting in low voices in groups of two or three everywhere, so he and Mr. Gui didn't look special."

"Without waiting for Mr. Gui to ask, Zhang Qishan spilled the beans and told Mr. Gui about the situation of touching treasures today."

"After listening, Mr. Gui fell into deep thought, and the first question he asked Fo Ye was: You didn't hear wrong, that Mr. Wei said to let that officer not return to his hometown for fifteen years?"

"Fo Ye nodded and said very certainly: Absolutely didn't hear wrong; he said fifteen years."

"But Mr. Gui shook his head and said: Your Japanese is self-taught, so you are not very familiar with their language habits; if I guessed correctly, Mr. Wei didn't say not to return for fifteen years, but not to return in the fifteenth year!"

"Fo Ye was stunned; he didn't understand what the difference was between the two."

"Mr. Gui explained: Let's put it this way, the requirement of not being allowed to return for fifteen years is inherently unreasonable. As Japanese soldiers in Xia, these officers must return to their country to report to the Emperor every once in a while."

"Hearing this, Fo Ye also felt that the requirement of not returning for fifteen years seemed too excessive!"

"Mr. Gui continued: So he must have meant that starting from this year, in the fifteenth year, he cannot return; that year, there might be a major change in that Japanese officer's hometown."

"At this time, Fo Ye didn't know what kind of change could happen in the Japanese soldiers' home country."

"He asked curiously: I heard that there are volcanoes and earthquakes there; could it be that in the fifteenth year, there will be an earthquake in the officer's hometown?"

"Mr. Gui heard this and smiled somewhat inscrutably: I fear it's not an earthquake, but something even more terrifying than an earthquake! Earthquakes can still be avoided, and the danger to life is not great, but Mr. Wei's admonition is much more serious than this."

"Everyone, at that time Zhang Qishan naturally didn't know what would happen fifteen years later, but Mr. Gui must have already guessed roughly."

"Even you, looking back at history, know what earth-shattering event happened in that place that year!"

Hearing this, almost everyone's expression changed.

Many people thought of it but didn't say it out loud.

Others simply felt it was incredible!

If the major event Mr. Wei mentioned fifteen years later was truly the explosion of two mushrooms.

Then for this Japanese officer, it could be considered saving his life!

Otherwise, staying in his hometown that year, what awaited this officer would be a living hell!

It's just that this was too bizarre.

Does this count as Mr. Wei being right?

If he was right, it proves that his identity as a physiognomist is fine.

He must have seen a calamity in this person's fate from the Japanese officer's face.

But everyone still remembered that when the officer asked Mr. Wei if he had seen it.

He pointed to the sky with one finger and said he had heard it!

And at that time, there was only the roaring sound of thunder in the sky!

"Everyone, standing in the future looking at the past, we can be sure that this Mr. Wei was right!"

"Even the year he set was extremely accurate, but for Zhang Dafo Ye and Mr. Gui who were in the present, there was no fact to use as a reference!"

"Therefore, to peek at the truth in the fog, one needs great wisdom!"

"And this Mr. Gui just happened to possess this wisdom!"

"This adventure in the concentration camp was an opportunity for Zhang Dafo Ye, and why wasn't it for this Mr. Gui?"

"There is a master behind the master; Mr. Gui was Zhang Dafo Ye's noble person, and he himself also needed to find a noble person!"

"This noble person must have the ability of Zhu Yuanzhang and the perseverance of Han Xin."

"That is the person who can truly use the non-losing stone!"
