Chapter 6: Chen Pi Ah Si

Chapter 6: Chen Pi Ah Si

Among the middle three clans, were very familiar with Chen Pi Ah Si and Old Dog Wu, but weve heard little about Black Back who reigns sixth.

Ill only give a brief introduction about the first two people, and then give a more detailed story of Black Back.

Chen Pi Ah Si

Chen Pi Ah Si, Grandpa Four, ranked first in the middle three clans and might be the most skilled one in the Mystic Nine. He aimed his iron beads more precisely than bullets, and his nine-clawed hook could grab raw eggs from more than ten meters away.

Chen Pi Ah Si was Er Yuehongs apprentice, and was taken in as an exception because he was extremely talented.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Generally speaking, the tomb robbers in Changsha never revealed their skills to outsiders, not to mention how difficult it would be for people from Zhejiang to learn Huaguxi. As a result, this kind of apprenticeship was unheard of.

People speculated that Er Yuehong and Chen Pi Ah Si might have gone way back, but the truth had been lost with the passage of time.

If the stories of the upper three clans sounded heroic, wonderful, and gossipy, then the stories of the middle three clans sounded notorious.

This was especially true for Chen Pi Ah Si, who was the most infamous person. If Banjie Li was a big gangster, then Chen Pei A Si was the aircraft carrier of gangsters.

Almost everyone knew that he was capable of anything, but he was most famous for murdering his apprentices. They often became rich one second and were killed the next.

Chen Pi Ah Si was different from others. He was incredibly generous, barely had any family business, and would immediately squander all of the money he got from tomb robbing, which meant his apprentices could become wealthy overnight.

Chen Pi Ah Si shifted his eyes to the neighboring house, and the next day, they snuck next door and killed all the people there. They tried the same trick again, but it still wasnt the right place.

They repeated this process over and over, until the corpses from the first family were already starting to stink.

Chen Pi Ah Sis men were like boogeymen, and they stealthily killed people every night. Eventually, they even rolled dice to determine which family to kill.

There were fewer and fewer people in the village, and when they left half a month later, most of the villagers had been killed. They found that they had made a mistake in their judgment, and there actually wasnt an ancient tomb at all.

Chen Pi Ah Si was frustrated and returned home, but before leaving, he and his men set the whole village on fire. Of the forty villagers alive at that time, not even the children and pregnant women were spared.

This incident became a major case, and later, an apprentice got drunk and spilled the whole thing. Everyone was captured and shot, except for Chen Pi Ah Si who fled to Guangxi alone.

After that, Chen Pi Ah Si did things more subtly. In the end, the story of the Upside-Down Mirror Palace at Reclining Buddha Ridge happened when he was in Guangxi. (1)

We cant imagine how vicious Chen Pi Ah Si was before Guangxi, but what we can understand is that after Guangxi, Chen Pi Ah Si had changed a lot. It seemed like that major case had changed some things for him after all.
