Chapter 471

Best to find a way to open it!

He believed that inside there must be something that mysterious person had left for him.

In truth, at this moment, even Zhang Lin could not be certain whether he had a way to open the dragon-patterned stone box.

After all, that too was something that only existed in legend, and it was said to have been kept by the Wang family ever since.

Back then, when the Zhang family opened the box, it wasn't because they had any special ability.

It was simply because the password on the box had jumped to the corresponding time!

The nature of the dragon-patterned stone box's timer destined it to be unaffected by external force.

This was also a layer of insurance Zhou Muwang had designed into the box for himself.

Whether Zhang Lin could actually open the box, only trying would tell!

At this moment the attendant outside hadn't yet come to urge Zhang Lin onto the stage, so he wanted to go find Yin Nanfeng and get the box in hand first.

But the moment he opened the door, he saw an attendant just about to knock.

"Mr. Zhang, it's almost time, they're outside urging you onto the stage!"

Zhang Lin had no choice but to give up on the box for now and finish today's storytelling work first.

Today's tasks were very heavy — the story of Zhang Dafo Ye needed to be wrapped up, and a new story also needed to begin!

He had to leave some suspense for listeners like Chang San, so as to facilitate Zhang Lin's subsequent operations.

"Alright, I know, I'll be right there!"

……

When Zhang Lin took the stage again, every audience member's face wore an expression of anticipation!

Before Zhang Lin could even ask, the crowd below began clamoring all at once.

"Mr. Zhang, what name did you write? Can you spoil it for us?"

"That's right, the National Archaeological Institute just announced that the slip of paper you blind-bet with that… Mr. Wei will be placed on display in the square for preservation!"

"But how long do we have to wait before we see the result? Why don't you tell us first — who did you write?"

"Yeah, Mr. Zhang, if you reveal it early, the people on the list can prepare in advance, right?"

Hearing the expectant voices of the crowd, Zhang Lin actually laughed.

He raised a hand to ask everyone to quiet down, then said: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's not that I don't want to tell you!"

"If the Archaeological Institute hadn't arranged this public display, I wouldn't need any of you to ask — I'd be willing to tell you who I wrote!"

"But now that the authorities have stepped in, to ensure fairness and impartiality, we still need to follow some rules!"

Hearing this, the crowd was somewhat disappointed, but some still refused to give up and kept asking questions.

"Mr. Zhang, is the name you wrote really something you heard from the thunder?"

"You say your thunder-listening art far surpasses Mr. Wei's — then where did you learn this skill?"

"Yeah, yeah, tell us — do ordinary people have any chance of learning the thunder-listening art?"

Hearing these curious questions one after another, Zhang Lin didn't feel annoyed at all.

He was just worrying about some things that were hard to hint at — and here someone had delivered the pillow just in time!

"I can tell you all, with great responsibility, that ordinary people absolutely have a chance to learn the thunder-listening art!"

Originally, many of the audience members asking this question were just joining in the commotion blindly.

No one really took the matter seriously!

After all, that was the thunder-listening art — the very foundation of an entire clan's existence!

The Thunder-Listening Clan had stirred up winds and waves throughout history with this skill.

Anyone with a shred of common sense knew that such an ability was extremely rare — even someone like Chang San had only learned it halfway, let alone ordinary people?

Just when everyone thought Zhang Lin would crack a joke or two and continue the storytelling.

Instead, from his mouth came such an explosive answer!

In an instant, inside the Crescent Moon Restaurant, the noise erupted — every person stood up in excitement!
