Chapter 486

"This must be because he heard of his master's great name, so he came to invite Master Guo to go down and raid a tomb!"

"But now, hearing Master Guo's words, he was actually refusing!"

"Instantly, Half-a-Li and his fellow apprentices all became anxious."

At this time, the audience off the stage, hearing this, already had some people frowning.

Clearly, they felt there were very unreasonable parts in this story!

That was, this Northerner named Chale'gai came to Luoyang to invite someone to raid a tomb, and actually found Master Guo, this swindler!?"

This was clearly being scammed!

Generally, when locals scam outsiders, there are only two situations.

One is feeling that they can't make big money off this person, so they do a one-off deal, scamming whoever they can.

The other is purely feeling that the person is stupid, so why not scam them!

Looking at Chale'gai's situation, it's estimated that both were involved!

As a Northerner, coming to Luoyang wanting to find a tomb-raiding expert, he probably spent a lot of money to find someone to point the way.

As a result, that person pointed him to Master Guo, this swindler!

While many people felt this person was immoral, they were also a bit puzzled.

Why would that person do such a thing?

In Luoyang city, in those years, tomb-raiding gangs were as numerous as hair on an ox!

He could have pointed Chale'gai to any half-baked expert, and it would have been better than pointing him to Master Guo!

Moreover, the name Chale'gai was also very strange; it was clearly not a Han name, having a bit of a minority feel.

In the mysterious room, Chang San, whose face had shown no change while listening to the story, suddenly sat up straight and his breathing became a bit rapid when he heard the name Chale'gai.

This abnormality naturally couldn't escape Mr. Zhou's eyes; he glanced at Chang San calmly.

He immediately understood that it was the name Chale'gai that caused Chang San to react.

This name had distinct Mongol characteristics!

Mr. Zhou also didn't know what connection the Thunder-Listening Clan had with the Mongols?

So he chose to continue listening to the storytelling calmly, without showing any abnormality regarding Chang San's reaction.

……

Hearing the discussion off the stage, Zhang Lin also knew that everyone had seen the strangeness of this story.

So he said directly: "You all also feel that the person who pointed the way for Chale'gai was too immoral, right?"

"Actually, the person who pointed the way had a reason for pointing him to Master Guo; you all will know if you continue listening."

"Just saying that Master Guo wanted to refuse to come out of the mountains, the apprentices all became anxious, one after another shouting, asking Master Guo not to refuse!"

"This turn of events also reignited confidence in Chale'gai, who had been disappointed!"

"He opened his mouth with a heavy accent, his tone strange when speaking Han Chinese, but all the apprentices heard clearly what Chale'gai said."

"The apprentices, who had been excited, basically looked at each other in dismay after hearing clearly what Chale'gai said, and some even turned around and left directly."

"Only a few remained on the spot, wanting to continue listening to what Chale'gai had to say, and Half-a-Li was among them."

"And the reason many apprentices turned and left was because Chale'gai said he was a descendant of Genghis Khan, and this time he came to Luoyang to find experts to accompany him to raid Genghis Khan's Imperial Mausoleum!"

Hearing this, the audience off the stage, like those fellow apprentices who left, were basically dumbfounded and looked at each other in dismay!

They finally understood why the middleman had pointed Chale'gai to Master Guo!

Because the other party had simply treated Chale'gai as a fool!

A fool who claimed to be a descendant of an emperor and dreamed of raiding an imperial mausoleum!

In those years, although there were many people who raided tombs privately, not a single tomb raider would dream of raiding Genghis Khan's mausoleum.

Firstly, there was absolutely no historical record, and secondly, that piece of land had already been ceded.

Going there now meant going abroad, and things were much more complicated.

After the audience understood, they all smiled, thinking that Chale'gai was probably a madman and not the protagonist of the story.

Because until today, Genghis Khan's mausoleum had never been discovered.

So Half-a-Li and his group certainly wouldn't follow this lunatic Chale'gai to raid a tomb!

Zhang Lin took in everyone's expressions and didn't offer any evaluation.

He just continued: "Chale'gai's rhetoric was naturally very ridiculous; at that time, the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum hadn't been discovered yet, and the Terracotta Warriors were still lying in the farmland."

"Therefore, even less would anyone believe that one could find Genghis Khan's mausoleum just like that."

"But everyone, sometimes, things are just unpredictable!"

"The more absurd and impossible things seem, the more they tend to happen!"

Hearing this, the audience's hearts skipped a beat.

They didn't understand what Zhang Lin meant by this?

Could it be that he was going to say this "Golden Aristocrat" bloodline of Chale'gai was real?

Was he really a descendant of Genghis Khan, and did he really know where the Imperial Mausoleum was?

If that were true, wouldn't the subtext be...

Half-a-Li, this greenhorn tomb raider, had entered the real Genghis Khan Mausoleum?!

At this moment, the whole audience was shocked!

Everyone was waiting for a detailed explanation from Zhang Lin!
