Tomb robber: I am the tenth of the nine gates
Chapter 287 One life for one life?
"Okay, let's go."
In the end, it was Yin Xinyue who made the decision. As she was closest to Zhang Qishan, she noticed his subconscious resistance, but she still made the decision.
Adjutant Zhang distributed self-defense weapons to everyone and kept reminding them, "I don't know much about the ancient building. Don't walk around casually, or you might accidentally trigger the trap."
Qi Tiezui came close to Er Yuehong and started to complain, "Second Master, you don't know, Xiao Ning was very powerful just now. He entered a very dangerous room and we couldn't stop him."
Qi Tiezui had a look of "praise" on his face and praised with words, but his voice was full of gritted teeth.
Er Yuehong looked at Chu Ning with a half-smile, "Oh~ Xiao Ning is so brave."
Chu Ning's body froze. He felt the so-called Yin Qi at this moment...
"Haha, that..."
Chu Ning glanced around and saw Adjutant Zhang coming. Chu Ning closed his eyes and raised his claws to point at Adjutant Zhang.
"I saw the adjutant hesitating at the door, so I thought of going in to take a look.
Second Master, you know I won't force anything I'm not sure of."
Adjutant Zhang raised his hand to push up his glasses, ignored the blame thrown by Chu Ning, and finished off the opponent very naturally.
"The room is filled with poisoned silk blades. Even a great immortal would be unable to save someone if they got a little bit of it.
Although Xiao Ning is special, it’s just…”
Qi Tiezui quietly gave Adjutant Zhang a thumbs up and said that Adjutant Zhang was not as cold and dull as he looked.
When it comes to arguing with people, Adjutant Zhang is an expert at finishing off the opponent! He's experienced this firsthand.
Chu Ning avoided Er Yuehong's gaze and secretly glared at Adjutant Zhang and Qi Tiezui, receiving a standard smile from Adjutant Zhang.
Qi Tiezui grinned and laughed silently. He liked Chu Ning's lively side. He would rather Chu Ning be more "aggressive". At least this would be more like the normal emotions of a person of this age.
Adjutant Zhang was also very happy. Chu Ning, who had always been well-behaved, was now tainted with other emotions and could even glare at him. Although it had no lethality, it was pretty good and made him want to rub him even more.
Er Yuehong ignored the undercurrents in their eyes and said quietly, "Help Adjutant Zhang explore the way?"
"A room filled with poison threads?"
"Not sure if you should do it?"
Every time he asked a question, he took a step towards Chu Ning. Although Chu Ning did not retreat, he stood there obediently like a wooden man and did not say a word because of Er Yuehong's questioning.
"Xiao Ning, didn't I tell you that you should take care of yourself first?
Adjutant Zhang is capable of solving it. We trust you, and you should trust us too."
Although Er Yuehong was a little angry when he first heard that this kid always rushed forward like this, he was more heartbroken.
He knew that because they were good to Chu Ning, Chu Ning would give them more in return.
But this feeling is like "a moth to a flame", and there is always a feeling that Chu Ning is protecting them with his life.
This is an intuition, and Er Yuehong has always been a person who believes in intuition.
He really wanted to say something harsh to Chu Ning. Whenever he thought of this, Er Yuehong felt guilt, heartache, and regret filling his whole body.
He didn't want to explore Chu Ning's past, he just hoped that Chu Ning, who was with them now, could be safe.
"I'll take note of this and deal with you later."
In the end, Er Yuehong just rubbed Chu Ning's head fiercely, and only when he received Chu Ning's resentful and accusing look did he chuckle and stop.
"you!
I’m awesome!”
Chu Ning defended and accused, and in the end even Yin Xinyue turned away with a smile on her lips.
“Okay, let’s go to the ancient building.
Try to get to the city gate before dark, after all, this is not a place to stay for long."
After Yin Xinyue finished speaking, she supported Zhang Qishan and walked to the back, followed by Er Yuehong and Chu Ning.
Adjutant Zhang pulled Qi Tiezui to clear the way.
【Zhang Family Ancient Building】
Qi Tiezui pointed at the bronze tripod in front of the ancient building with a look of surprise, and turned to ask Adjutant Zhang, "Did we see this tripod in the back hall of the ancestral hall just now?"
Adjutant Zhang nodded solemnly and glanced at the main entrance of the ancient building. "Let's go over there."
Just when a few people were about to cross the tripod, Zhang Qiling appeared again.
Zhang Qiling didn't look at Zhang Qishan and Adjutant Zhang from the clan, but looked at Chu Ning.
When Chu Ning saw Zhang Qiling, he knew that this was the place that could make Zhang Qishan sober.
"Are you going too?"
There was no expression on Zhang Qiling's small face, and there was a hint of disapproval in his eyes, as if he didn't want Chu Ning to enter the ancient building.
This sentence successfully drew everyone's attention to Chu Ning.
Chu Ning and Zhang Qiling looked at each other, their eyes clear, "Can't I come in?"
Zhang Qiling seemed to frown, but quickly made way.
Adjutant Zhang knew Zhang Qiling's identity. Although he was puzzled as to why Zhang Qiling seemed to be stopping Chu Ning, he let the matter go for the time being.
He was the only one who was qualified to ask here, so he bowed deeply to Zhang Qiling very respectfully and asked for help from Zhang Qiling.
"Please also tell us how to wake the Buddha up after entering the ancient building."
Zhang Qiling's gaze fell on Zhang Qishan, then he looked away and left four words.
“The fallen leaves return to their roots.”
After Zhang Qiling finished speaking, he waved his hand, opened the Zhang family's ancient building for them, and turned to leave.
When leaving, Zhang Qiling held the small red gourd that Chu Ning gave him in his hand, and his eyes fell on Chu Ning again. Chu Ning smiled and pointed at it.
Zhang Qiling understood and left with peace of mind.
Er Yuehong looked at Chu Ning's actions and felt inexplicably worried.
But now that we're here, we have no choice but to go in. I have no choice but to keep an eye on Chu Ning.
"Don't run around, stay by my side."
After Er Yuehong gave Chu Ning some instructions, they entered the Zhang family's ancient building.
This ancient building looks like an ordinary building from the outside, but the space inside is surprisingly large.
It looks like it has many layers from top to bottom, and the entrance seems to be just a balance platform connecting the upper and lower parts of the ancient building.
There is a platform extending from the wall of each corner section, and a coffin is placed on each platform.
"Hey! There are so many coffins here!"
Qi Tiezui exclaimed in surprise, and his voice echoed inside the ancient building.
Er Yuehong looked at the coffins filling the building and realized that the Zhang family's ancient building was the burial place of all the Zhang family members.
Er Yuehong couldn't understand what Zhang Qiling said at this moment. Fallen leaves return to their roots, but the Buddha is still alive, so how can the leaves return to their roots?
"That person said 'fallen leaves return to their roots', how are we going to find it?"
Qi Tiezui asked the question that everyone had, but Chu Ning was not one of them.
At this moment, there was a noise, and the mechanism on the platform rang, and a coffin with patterns slowly rose from the edge of the stone platform.
The pattern on the coffin lid is exactly Qiongqi. Qiongqi's eyes should be inlaid with gems, which emit a glass-like glow under the candlelight.
As everyone gathered closer, Qi Tiezui's face changed color. He covered his eyes with one hand, while his other hand was not idle either, as he did not forget to cover the eyes of Chu Ning next to him.
He loudly warned everyone, "This thing is extremely dangerous. Never look at it directly. Looking at it for too long will cause you to develop inner demons!"
Yin Xinyue asked Adjutant Zhang, "What do you want us to do?"
Adjutant Zhang said solemnly, "This is a test from the Zhang family."
Yin Xinyue looked at Zhang Qishan who was sitting beside her, then turned to face the inside of the open sarcophagus.
The sound fell softly into everyone's ears.
"Is this a life for a life?"
Adjutant Zhang remained silent. Qi Tiezui showed an expression of reluctance, "Ah, this isn't really going to happen..."
Yin Xinyue's neatly trimmed nails dug into her palm and then released it. The momentary stinging pain made her mind clearer.
He lifted his legs and entered the coffin. Qi Tiezui and Adjutant Zhang hurriedly held up the coffin lid to stop it from slowly closing.
Er Yuehong stared at Chu Ning intently.
Chu Ning blinked and regained his sight. Knowing that Er Yuehong was looking at him, he looked up.
"Second Master, you also want Master Buddha to wake up faster, otherwise you wouldn't have followed me all the way here."
Er Yuehong frowned. Although he had some guesses about Zhang Qishan along the way, due to their years of relationship, Er Yuehong still hoped that his good friend could regain his composure.
As for the rest, let’s wait until Zhang Qishan wakes up.
Er Yuehong nodded and saw Chu Ning smiling brightly.
"Then no matter what I do next, please don't stop me."
After Chu Ning finished speaking, he stepped forward and patted Adjutant Zhang and Qi Tiezui on the shoulders.
The two men felt a numbness starting from their shoulders and extending to half of their bodies, and they released their hands that were pressing against the coffin lid.
The coffin lid had no resistance and closed faster.
Yin Xinyue, standing in the coffin, had a firm look in her eyes. She nodded to Chu Ning, thanking him for respecting her decision.
But he got a puzzled look from Chu Ning, and then Chu Ning reached into the coffin and pulled Yin Xinyue out.
The force was so great that Yin Xinyue was thrown out almost as a shadow and sent to the side of Adjutant Zhang and Qi Tiezui.
The people outside the coffin thought that Chu Ning was going to go in by himself, especially since they had heard what Chu Ning said to Er Yuehong.
For a moment, the four of them were anxious to pull Chu Ning, whose half body was almost in the coffin.
"Xiao Ning!" This is the shocked Adjutant Zhang.
"Chu Ning, how dare you!" This was the extremely angry Er Yuehong.
"No!" This was Yin Xinyue who had just stood firm.
"Ahhh! Don't go, Xiaoning, don't go!"... This is the talkative Qi Tiezui.
Then Chu Ning slammed the coffin lid shut, cutting off everyone's shouting.
(At this moment, an evil little Fu Ni is yelling and yelling~)
