~7 min read 1,299 words

At this time, everyone was waiting for Zhang Lin's answer with expectation and nervousness.

Zhang Lin smiled mysteriously and said: "Everyone, whether the people of the Old Nine Gates can be ranked in the genius list is certain!"

"But who can enter the list is not the time to say today."

"Wait until I finish talking about the rest of the Old Nine Gates, and then you can see if the genius list I ranked is appropriate!"

"Of course, you have already heard about the Lower Three Sects and the Middle Three Sects, so you can think about who can be on the list in your own hearts!"

Seeing that Zhang Lin wouldn't say it now, there was nothing the crowd could do.

After all, this is a list ranked by him.

The crowd had no choice but to continue listening to the story.

This made Old Lady Huo, who was waiting for the answer on the second floor, look dissatisfied.

"A kid who plays tricks! Hateful!"

Thinking of her age, she was actually influenced by Zhang Lin to start caring about gains and losses.

How could Old Lady Huo not be angry? The more she looked at Zhang Lin, the more she felt Zhang Lin was hideous!

At this time, Zhang Yueshan breathed a sigh of relief.

Yin Yin Nanfeng saw this and said happily: "I have definitely invited this Mr. Zhang to the Crescent Hotel!"

"Maybe I can even know the list in advance from him!"

"Old immortal, if I know, do you want to hear it?"

Zhang Yueshan rolled his eyes and said coldly: "Who cares."

Yin Yin Nanfeng was not angry and shrugged indifferently: "Then you can wait slowly!"

……

After Zhang Lin suppressed the audience's emotions, he began to continue talking about Chen Pi A-Si.

"Everyone knows that the mountain ranges in the Guangxi area are numerous, which can be called the first in the country, and Cat Mountain is one of the important sources."

"Chen Pi A-Si, after several twists and turns, came to a village on Sleeping Buddha Ridge."

"He stood on the dirt mound and looked at the basin in the middle of the mountain range; the pagoda was much larger than he imagined."

"When it collapsed, it knocked down several trees, so a gap appeared in the green tree canopy of the forest."

"Sleeping Buddha Ridge is too far away to see what is in the gap."

"But Chen Pi A-Si almost immediately discovered that all the trees around the place where the pagoda collapsed were very messy because of the ground sinking."

"This shows that there must be something under the pagoda, and its volume is even larger than the pagoda base!"

"You also know that there is a Mirror Palace here."

"But Chen Pi A-Si at that time could know that there was a Mirror Palace buried underneath just by looking at the arrangement changes of the trees."

"This kind of judgment is also one of the best in the Old Nine Gates."

"After Chen Pi A-Si saw the terrain clearly, greed had already arisen in his heart."

"In the underground palace of the pagoda, there will only be three things: sarira, the golden body of a high monk, and a large number of Buddhist scriptures; no matter what it is, it is a priceless thing!"

"But Chen Pi A-Si is an outsider, and it is not very convenient to move here."

"The several villages here are all Miao villages; at that time, there were occasional fights between Han people and Miao people, and if Chen Pi A-Si rushed in, he might arouse suspicion."

"After careful consideration, he came up with a plan."

"He paid a high price to find a local Miao guide, telling the guide that he was a teacher from outside who came to support the border, and when he came, one of his students fell off the cliff."

"At that time, the Miao people's customs were simple and honest, and they didn't know the world, so they couldn't see the trick in it."

"As soon as they heard someone fell off the cliff, they immediately notified everyone in the village."

"The young Miao men used ropes to tie a hanging basket and lowered Chen Pi A-Si and several young people who were helping down the cliff!"

Everyone heard that Chen actually used deception to gain the trust of the Miao people.

A sense of relief actually rose in their hearts!

It can be seen that people will grow up; the only difference between Chen Pi in his sixties and Chen Pi in his twenties or thirties is that he no longer kills people indiscriminately.

Otherwise, according to his past habits, he should have slaughtered the entire village.

Of course, there is probably also the reason that the Miao people are good at martial arts, and Chen Pi A-Si dared not act rashly.

It's just that Chen Pi A-Si occasionally not killing people would make the audience feel relieved.

No wonder that saying is widely circulated: killing and arson bring golden belts, while repairing bridges and paving roads have no one to bury.

A person like Chen Pi who is used to doing evil things, occasionally not doing evil things, would actually make people feel that he is getting better.

And people who have always been good people, occasionally doing a bad thing, people will say, so he is such a bad person!

This may be human nature!

Putting down the butcher knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot; why can bad people become Buddhas after putting down the knife, while good people have to do good deeds and accumulate virtue to become Buddhas?

……

"After Chen Pi A-Si got down the cliff, he pretended to be physically exhausted and sat there panting."

"The Miao leader saw that he was not young, looking like a little old man, so he let him wait in place, and he himself lit a torch to greet others to search in the direction he pointed."

"But as soon as the Miao people left, Chen Pi A-Si immediately took out a compass and drilled into the depths of the jungle according to the direction he had remembered in advance."

"This compass, let me introduce it to you; like the Luoyang shovel, it is also one of the tools for tomb raiders to explore tombs and locate acupoints."

"However, it should have been lost now; the only remaining few are all in the hands of this group of old tomb-raiding families and schools."

"The compass can survey directions, and using directions to look at feng shui requires the use of the I Ching and arithmetic classics."

"I Ching and arithmetic classics, do you remember? That is the origin of the Lower Three Sects' calculator, Qi Qi Tiezui's strange gate eight calculations."

Zhang Lin's words made the crowd fall into chaos again.

The Luoyang shovel, because of Zhang Lin's storytelling, has now been replicated by the archaeological team and used in the latest archaeology.

But now Zhang Lin has mentioned something called a compass!

This thing must also be used in conjunction with profound I Ching and arithmetic classics!

Not only can it survey ancient tombs, but it can also distinguish directions and feng shui; this is simply a divine artifact!

It's a pity that Zhang Lin said this thing is also lost!

Immediately, someone started asking Zhang Lin about the compass.

"Mr. Zhang, can you make this compass?"

"Yeah, you must be able to; if you can, make two, and I'll pay a high price!"

"Mr. Zhang, I'll pay 100,000 for a compass!"

"I'll pay 200,000!"

For a compass, the crowd actually started bidding.

This made Zhang Lin a bit dumbfounded; he is a storyteller, not a compass seller!
