Chapter 94: This is a great killing array, retreat quickly

~11 min read 2,004 words

Master Zhang proposed consulting Zhang Lin, the storyteller, once again.

This also shifted the attention of the entire internet toward Zhang Lin!

Especially the live audience who had been secretly streaming Zhang Lin’s storytelling; when they looked down at their streaming rooms, they simply couldn't believe their eyes.

The livestream room of an amateur had actually surged with millions of viewers in an instant!

Even the streaming platform began issuing warnings, thinking there was a glitch in the data.

Finally, when the technical staff determined that the content of the stream was Zhang Lin telling stories, they not only didn't ban it, but provided data support and pushed it vigorously!

Everyone knew that this storyteller who had suddenly emerged now represented traffic.

Zhang Lin’s personal traffic could even surpass the entire archaeological team!

For a time, the whole internet wanted to hear Zhang Lin’s opinion on the Big Dipper Suspicious Coffin Array.

Yin Yin Nanfeng asked Zhang Yueshan with great interest: "That Master Zhang’s hole-hooking method actually failed. If you were on the archaeological team, would you have a way to crack this Big Dipper Suspicious Coffin Array?"

Zhang Yueshan thought for a moment and said: "If I went, it wouldn't be so troublesome."

"Just open all the coffins one by one, because with my skills, I could escape completely."

Hearing this, Yin Yin Nanfeng was clearly stunned for a moment.

Only then did she say: "You... you really don't treat others as human beings!"

"You can run, but what about the people on the archaeological team?"

"That Master Zhang, I see his combat power is no worse than yours; why don't I see him running away whenever there's trouble?"

Zhang Yueshan replied with a calm expression: "What others do has nothing to do with me. I am not a nanny specifically responsible for protecting the archaeological team."

Yin Yin Nanfeng was retorted and instantly speechless; she turned her head to ignore him and continued listening to Zhang Lin talk about the Big Dipper Suspicious Coffin Array.

At this moment, Zhang Lin sat on his chair with a calm expression and said to everyone: "Actually, the method Master Zhang used is correct!"

Master Zhang’s method is correct?!

Hearing this, everyone was stunned. If Master Zhang’s method was correct, did that mean as long as the archaeological team continued to search according to this method, they would definitely find the real coffin?

Just when everyone thought Zhang Lin was in favor of the archaeological team continuing to open coffins.

They heard Zhang Lin say: "This method of Master Zhang, according to his own words, is derived from Daoist alchemy."

"However, it is a coincidence that the Mountain-Moving lineage among the four great schools of grave robbing also happens to have a similar method."

"This method is called the Secret Technique of Hole-Hooking, and it is the best choice for Mountain-Moving Daoists to deal with suspicious coffins!"

"A Mountain-Moving Daoist with high cultivation can judge what is inside the coffin based on the scent lingering on the items hooked out by the iron wire!"

Upon hearing this, the audience exclaimed at the wonder of it, while also determining that the method Master Zhang used must be different from that of the Mountain-Moving Daoists.

Therefore, many people began to discuss it one after another.

"Mr. Zhang, according to what you said, the method Master Zhang used must have nothing to do with the Mountain-Moving Daoists."

"That's right, Mountain-Moving Daoists both look and smell, but Master Zhang just relies on his eyes to look."

"You scared me; I thought Mr. Zhang was going to say Mount Mount Wudang had a connection to grave robbing. Now it seems these are two completely different things!"

"However, it sounds like the Mountain-Moving Daoists are a step higher; for the same hole-hooking, the Mountain-Moving Daoists have an extra scent identification."

The audience in Sanqing Garden discussed it heatedly.

In the ancient tomb, Wang Pangzi and Tian Zhen, who were eavesdropping through Bluetooth headsets, both had their expressions change, their hearts pounding!

In the entire network, they were likely the only two who knew that Master Zhang’s method was exactly the same as that of the Mountain-Moving Daoists!

Because they had seen with their own eyes Master Zhang put the hole-hooking iron wire under his nose to smell it!

At the time, Wang Pangzi and Tian Zhen even wondered if Master Zhang had some special hobby.

Now it seemed he was just using the second move of the Mountain-Moving Daoists: sniffing to identify objects!

Wang Pangzi turned to look at Tian Zhen in shock, "This guy, he isn't a Mount Wudang Master at all, right?"

Tian Zhen’s chest was also heaving violently; he shook his head and said: "I’m not sure either, but his technique definitely comes from the Mountain-Moving Daoists."

"Otherwise, you tell me, what does this kind of hole-hooking method have to do with Daoist alchemy?"

"Oh, could it be that after Daoist masters finish refining pills, they don't open the furnace, but instead drill a hole from the bottom to hook out some pills to taste if they are salty or bland?"

"Isn't that pure nonsense?"

After hearing this, Wang Pangzi nodded repeatedly and said: "So this person is very likely a grave robber. It’s possible he’s like the Nine Gates, a secret family that doesn't want to reveal their identity."

"Perhaps he could be a disciple of the Mountain-Moving Daoists. Didn't that Mr. Zhang say that the Mountain-Moving lineage’s inheritance is basically broken?"

"If one popped out from some corner, it would be within reason..."

As Wang Pangzi spoke, he suddenly grabbed Tian Zhen and said somewhat excitedly: "That’s it, he is definitely a descendant of the Mountain-Moving lineage!"

"Otherwise, think about it, why did Mr. Zhang specifically name him to try the Kui Star Kicking the Dipper?"

"Mr. Zhang said that Kui Star Kicking the Dipper takes many years to practice and won't amount to anything."

"But look at Master Zhang, damn it, he learned it in one go! Is this a normal person?"

Hearing this, many things in Tian Zhen’s mind were connected.

He even thought of an absurd possibility.

"Pangzi, do you think it’s possible that Mr. Zhang, the storyteller, knew all along that the Master’s identity was fake?"

Wang Pangzi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, thought about it slightly, and felt this hypothesis was very plausible.

He slapped Tian Zhen on the back and whispered: "It has to be you, classmate Tian Zhen; this brain of yours turns fast!"

"Anyway, I trust Mr. Zhang, the storyteller. If he knew the Master was fake all along, then Mr. Zhang’s actions were either to test him or to interrupt him!"

"I think we should stand on the same front as Mr. Zhang and help him stop this fake Master!"

"Mr. Zhang must know the purpose of this fake Master infiltrating the archaeological team, so he has been keeping an eye on him!"

Tian Zhen lowered his head and thought about it, agreeing with Wang Pangzi’s statement.

The two of them inexplicably reached an agreement to help Zhang Lin keep an eye on Master Zhang.

Master Zhang, who was still checking other coffins in the ancient tomb, had no idea that it was raining on top of a leaky roof.

He hadn't even dealt with Zhang Lin, and now two more people were dragging him down!

All three of them were up to no good, preparing to find an opportunity to trap him!

Wang Pangzi looked at the serious-looking Master Zhang and curled his lips: "Anyway, we’ll just follow Mr. Zhang and see what this fake Master’s purpose is."

"Entering an ancient tomb, it must be for the artifacts!"

"We have to keep our spirits up; it would be best if we could intercept the fake Master’s loot."

Fortunately, Master Zhang couldn't hear the conspiracy of these two cobblers.

Otherwise, he would really be crying without tears, lamenting that this team was simply impossible to lead!

……

Zhang Lin introduced the secret hole-hooking method of the Mountain-Moving Daoists, broadening the audience’s knowledge.

Afterward, he said: "Of course, this method of the Mountain-Moving Daoists is not omnipotent."

"For example, if you run into a grave robber of the level of King Lu Shang, as the tomb owner, he thinks much more than the grave robbers!"

"He can almost block all the methods that grave robbers can think of."

"Therefore, it’s not that the hole-hooking secret method is wrong, but that it is not very suitable here."

At this time, the Flower Monk was already listening impatiently.

If the Mountain-Moving Daoists’ method doesn't work, could there be a more powerful method in this world?

The impatient Flower Monk asked directly: "Mr. Zhang, there is only one correct coffin out of seven. Now that one fake has been ruled out, can you tell us how to distinguish the remaining six?"

As soon as the Flower Monk became impatient, the surrounding audience echoed him one after another!

Seeing this, Zhang Lin said directly: "Actually, this Big Dipper Suspicious Coffin Array is very simple. When the competition of techniques reaches the highest realm, experts often do one thing, which is returning to simplicity."

"To put it in a way everyone can understand, it’s about thinking about the problem from a different angle."

"I ask you all, if you were King Lu Shang, knowing that grave robbers are endless and have many methods."

"No matter how many mechanisms you set, as long as they aren't afraid of death, they can open the coffins one by one. When they find the real main coffin, what would you do?"

This question was actually not difficult. The audience lowered their heads and pondered for a while; most of them already had the answer.

Seeing this, Zhang Lin didn't continue to keep them in suspense, but said: "If it were me, in this Big Dipper Suspicious Coffin Array, I wouldn't put a single real coffin!"

"All seven coffins are fake! I would make this Big Dipper Suspicious Coffin Array a purely killing array!"

"No matter what school of grave robbers comes in, if they recognize this as the Big Dipper Suspicious Coffin Array, they will inevitably believe that one of them is the main coffin."

"I want to use the grave robbers’ own thinking to make them, under the control of greed, use all their strength to open all the coffins."

"Although opening each fake coffin is extremely dangerous, greed will make the grave robber think that the next one is the real coffin!"

"As long as they find the real coffin, there will be countless burial goods and treasures."

"Under this psychological effect of not turning back until they hit the south wall, the Big Dipper Suspicious Coffin Array as a whole becomes a defensive array that drags down the grave robbers!"

"As for the real coffin, how could I possibly put it here?"

"Of course, it would be hidden in a more secret place in the tomb chamber. Don't you all agree?"

In this instant, the entire audience was stunned.

Including Zhang Yueshan and Old Lady Huo on the second floor, they were all dumbfounded!

Because they knew that Zhang Lin’s analysis must be correct!

Especially when placed in this ancient tomb of the State of Lu, facing a grave robber of King Lu Shang’s level.

Zhang Lin’s statement was the guess closest to the truth!

Old Lady Huo even said directly: "This old woman has learned something today."

"After I pass away, if I build a tomb, I must use this psychological tactic."

"If anyone dares to enter my tomb, they can all stay and be buried with me!"

Chang San of the Huo family, who heard this, gasped and complained in his heart: You don't need this method anymore; everything is cremation now!

Seeing that everyone was thinking, Zhang Lin continued: "Therefore, if the archaeological team asks for my opinion, I would say that none of the remaining coffins are real."
