Chapter 86

~6 min read 1,130 words

Especially in the current scenario, it’s like being handed a pillow when you’re sleepy.

Zhang Lin was just worrying about not being able to understand the inscription script, and isn't this it?!

After understanding the first reward, Zhang Lin also developed a great interest in the "Moon Gate Ancient Color Trick Soul" reward.

"System, what is this Ancient Color Trick Soul?"

The system explained: "As a classical school of ancient color tricks, the Moon Gate is the most orthodox and the school with the most genuine talent."

"The reason their status is far higher than other ancient color trick schools is because the masters of all generations have mastered the Ancient Color Trick Soul!"

"The Ancient Color Trick Soul is a necessary prerequisite for the Moon Gate to perform high-end ancient color tricks."

"It’s just a pity that by the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the Ancient Color Trick Soul was lost, and the Moon Gate gradually declined."

Hearing this explanation, even Zhang Lin was a bit shocked!

The history of the Moon Gate can actually be traced back so far?

The system said it was passed down to the Yuan and Ming dynasties, which means the Moon Gate’s ancient color tricks were even earlier than this period.

Conservatively estimated, the inheritance is at least a thousand years!

Moreover, before the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the masters of the Moon Gate all possessed the Ancient Color Trick Soul.

The Ancient Color Trick Soul allowed the master to perform profound ancient color tricks that were different from ordinary members.

For example, the Five Ghosts Moving Technique mentioned earlier!

There is another one, which is the Heaven-Reaching Rope that many people have heard of!

This trick also gradually disappeared after the Song Dynasty.

Now hearing the system’s explanation, Zhang Lin also understood the reason for its loss.

It should be that the masters of the Moon Gate lost the Ancient Color Trick Soul, leading to this trick no longer being able to be performed.

The Heaven-Reaching Rope sounds like a somewhat eerie trick.

Under normal circumstances, it is a trickster bringing a three or four-year-old child to perform together, usually appearing at birthday banquets.

At this time, the trickster would say that to wish the birthday star a long life, he would send the child to heaven to steal flat peaches!

And usually, when performing this trick, it is not the season for peaches.

Thus, it attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

The trickster would take out a rope, calling it the Heaven-Reaching Rope.

Throwing it into the sky, the rope would seem to have a life of its own, continuously extending toward the sky until it reached a height invisible to the naked eye!

And at this time, the trickster would let the three or four-year-old child climb the rope toward the Heavenly Palace!

The child would truly climb as if ascending to heaven, gradually climbing until he disappeared from sight.

Just as everyone was waiting patiently, a huge flat peach suddenly fell from the sky, and the ancient color trickster would catch it steadily, sing some auspicious words, and offer it to the birthday star.

The scene was suddenly harmonious, and at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

The trickster began to worry why the child who stole the flat peach hadn't returned.

Because of his worry, the audience also became nervous.

Not long after, sounds of metal and stone were heard from overhead, accompanied by bursts of screams.

Then, the child’s severed limbs fell from the sky!

This scene simply scared the guests into fainting.

And the trickster took the opportunity to cry and complain, saying that to help the birthday star steal the flat peach, his child met the heavenly soldiers and generals and was executed!

Usually, when the birthday star heard this, they couldn't bear it and would give the trickster a large amount of money to let him grieve.

The trickster would then take back the Heaven-Reaching Rope, collect the child’s severed limbs into a basket, and leave with a sorrowful expression.

Leaving only the legend of the Heaven-Reaching Rope and the fairy child stealing flat peaches in the local area!

It’s just that as soon as the trickster carried his load out of the city, the dismembered child would lift the basket and jump out, laughing and giggling.

Look closely, there wasn't a single wound on his body!

When Zhang Lin first heard this trick, he was very amazed.

From that time on, he felt that foreign magic couldn't be compared to the ancient color tricks of the Xia Kingdom at all!

He also knew that the Red Girl in Ghost Blows Out the Light was a master of the Moon Gate.

But the Red Girl didn't perform such profound ancient color tricks when following the Unloading Ridge Leader Chen Yulou.

Looking at it now, it was all because the Moon Gate’s Ancient Color Trick Soul was lost!

But now, this thing was drawn by Zhang Lin from the King-level prize pool.

He might be the last person in the world who can perform the Moon Gate’s ancient color tricks!

More importantly, possessing the Ancient Color Trick Soul, those lost tricks could all be successfully performed.

For example, the Five Ghosts Moving Technique is simply a sharp tool for doing small tricks!

It can move the opponent’s things to one’s own hands without anyone noticing.

Zhang Lin couldn't wait to take the Ancient Color Trick Soul to a casino to see if he could use the God of Gamblers’ ultimate move to change a three!

As for the last skill, the Fa Qiu Finger, this is the ultimate skill of the Fa Qiu Heavenly Official.

Zhang Lin isn't going down into tombs currently, so it’s not of much use.

The conversation between the draw and the system made Zhang Lin daze on the stage for a while.

It wasn't until the audience member handing the phone started to urge him that Zhang Lin came back to his senses.

"Mr. Zhang, have you finished looking?"

"Do you recognize these inscriptions?"

Zhang Lin returned the phone to that audience member and returned to his original position, saying: "It’s a coincidence, I really do recognize the writing on these inscriptions!"

Hearing this, the whole venue was in an uproar.

Everyone thought they were just asking for luck, and no one had thought Zhang Lin could recognize them.

After all, that was writing that even the archaeology experts of the Xia Kingdom hadn't deciphered.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lin gave everyone a surprise.

Seeing that the audience was looking at him with anticipation, Zhang Lin smiled.

Then he said slowly: "These inscriptions actually tell a story."

"But this story is very interesting, I can tell you all about it in detail!"
