Chapter 459

~6 min read 1,052 words

Captain Zhou didn't talk nonsense and gave the recording equipment directly to Sheng Sheng Man.

Sheng Sheng Man put on her headphones and started listening slowly on the side.

At the same time, she was constantly writing the name Wu Tianzhen to feel the difference between the two audio sources!

This was a very tiring and meticulous job; Zhang Lin estimated that the comparison would take some time.

He then asked Captain Zhou: "How is it, did you ask? Where did everyone go?"

Captain Zhou's expression was a bit strange; after a long while, he said: "You really said too much; the move to transport people to Mount Zhangbai was definitely not done on a whim, because while the people were still halfway there, Mr. Wei suddenly changed his mind!"

"He contacted the leaders above directly and changed the destination!"

Changed the destination?

Hearing this, Zhang Lin didn't know why, but he had some premonitions in his heart.

Without waiting for Captain Zhou to finish, he asked: "It wouldn't be that they changed course to the Qin Ling Mountains, would it?"

Hearing this, Captain Zhou widened his eyes and stared at Zhang Lin like he was a monster.

His tone was shocked: "Consultant Zhang... how did you know? Did you hear my phone call?"

Zhang Lin chuckled, "No, your phone is specially made; not a single sound leaked out."

"Actually, I couldn't understand him transporting people to Mount Zhangbai."

"Changing to the Qin Ling Mountains now is within my expectations!"

"Alright, I roughly know what this person's purpose is; you should just do as he says for now."

"There are treasures in the Qin Ling Mountains; maybe he can lead you to find them."

Zhang Lin's words were headless and tailless, leaving Captain Zhou confused.

But he understood the sentence that there were treasures in the Qin Ling Mountains!

In this situation, after it ended, he would definitely have to report it upwards one by one!

Since Zhang Lin said there wasn't much of a problem now, Captain Zhou trusted him and felt relieved for the time being.

Seeing Sheng Sheng Man still constantly writing Wu Tianzhen's name, Captain Zhou curiously walked over to take a look.

Then he said: "It's him! That college student from the Wu family, right?"

Tianzhen entered the authorities' sight because of the matter of handing over the Warring States silk book rubbings.

Now he was also a member of the archaeological team; Captain Zhou certainly knew him.

So, seeing this name, he didn't have much of a reaction.

The master of the Unbeatable Stone coming from the Jiumen seemed to be within reason.

"This little Wu is also considered a celebrity; he accidentally ate the Qilin Jie, which is very helpful for archaeological work; I'm afraid he can officially enter the establishment in the future."

Hearing this, the corners of Zhang Lin's mouth twitched.

The future Evil Emperor entering the establishment? Why did it sound so awkward?

Sure enough, the end of the universe is the establishment!

It's hard for ordinary people to squeeze in, but for those with some background like Tianzhen, they are recruited quickly!

Sheng Sheng Man was still listening while writing, and Captain Zhou asked about the name Chang San wrote down.

Zhang Qilin!

"Mr. Zhang, this Zhang Qilin, listening to the name, wouldn't it be the Zhang family member you mentioned in your storytelling?"

"Our citizen identity system only gradually became standardized after the founding of the country."

"Even Zhang Qishan, the Great Buddha, whom you mentioned, has records, but only this Zhang Qilin doesn't."

"Is he a very important core figure of the Zhang family?"

Regarding this Zhang family patriarch, Zhang Lin decided not to disclose too much.

He estimated that the Zhang Tianshi should have other arrangements for his identity!

His identity being revealed would definitely not be less important than Yang Lusi's.

But how the Zhang family patriarch's identity was used, and what kind of life he wanted to choose, all required the Zhang Tianshi himself to make the decision.

Zhang Lin only said: "This person's origin is indeed extraordinary; it's understandable that you can't find him in the citizen system."

"If you really want to understand him, I suggest you check some top-secret materials from the same period as the Great Buddha Zhang."

Zhang Lin could only guide them like this now.

Back then, Zhang Qishan, for the sake of power and status, disclosed the secret of the Zhang family's longevity to those above in exchange.

Naturally, it caused a huge shock in the upper echelons!

But times are different now; pursuing longevity is absolutely not to be spoken of on the surface, especially for people with noble status.

Emperors in ancient times practiced alchemy and still knew to avoid the ministers, fearing that the imperial censors would submit remonstrances, saying the emperor was muddled.

It was even more inappropriate at the time of Zhang Qishan!

Things like longevity were uniformly classified as feudal superstition and had to be eradicated.

Anyone with a bit of culture would sneer at such things, let alone big shots?

But not being able to say it didn't mean they didn't yearn for it.

So, under the promotion of a certain force, Zhang Qishan led the Old Jiumen and started the largest grave-robbing activity after the founding of the country!

It was this grave-robbing that caused heavy casualties to the Old Jiumen, even affecting the next generation.

Now these materials were either sealed or destroyed, and had been forgotten along with the dissipation of that force.

The name Zhang Qilin was naturally erased and became a secret.

But this matter was very sensitive, and Zhang Lin absolutely couldn't say it.

Even in his storytelling, he didn't detail the activity of the Old Jiumen, which was nominally grave-robbing but actually looking for a method of longevity for big shots!

Some secrets were better kept hidden.

If the authorities wanted to know, they could only investigate privately!

Thinking that times change, no matter how earth-shattering the events of that year were, now that they were dug up, they would at most receive a few exclamations.

Zhang Qilin's specialty needed them to discover it themselves!

At this moment, Sheng Sheng Man suddenly spoke.

"Mr. Zhang, the comparison is finished; this name is not among them."
