      Nine Rings C30

      Nine Rings C30 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 30: Look Up and See All Beings He Yu sat down by the tomb wall, brushing dirt off his pants. “I told you this was pointless. If you’re going to leave a message, at least make it clear. Writing something cryptic like this is worse than writing nothing at all.” I was still mulling over the meaning of “Look up and see all beings.” The phrase itself wasn’t hard to translate, but using it in this context felt bizarre. I thought about it for a long time but couldn’t make sense of it, so I…

      Nine Rings C62

      Nine Rings C62 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 62: A Counterfeit Relic As soon as she finished speaking, I realized something was off. A logical person always has a focus when they speak, and Yu Jingzi was undoubtedly that type. She had said a lot, but every point she made stuck clearly in my mind. Also, this was the first time I’d ever heard of something called the "Wood-Returning Stone." Her emphasis leaned heavily toward that, unlike Hou Jinshan, who had clearly focused more on the Ghost Market Map itself. Why the difference? I was…

      Nine Rings C09

      Nine Rings C09 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 9: Five Masters Our family doesn't have any genealogical records. The origins of my grandfather's craft have only been passed down orally through generations. According to my grandfather, our ancestors were once part of an immense family, as prosperous as the Ningguo Mansion in "Dream of the Red Chamber" at its peak. The exact years of these past events are now impossible to verify. Moreover, it seems their work was somewhat related to imperial tombs. They needed not only to master the I Ching…

      Nine Rings C41

      Nine Rings C41 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 41: Another Version I thought for a moment, then quickly steered the conversation back. “Senior, from what you just said, does that mean you know the origin of this casket?” The old man coughed a few times, then suddenly lowered his voice. “It’s a long story. As of now, I’d say no more than three people in all of China know the true origin of this Nine-Ring Jade Casket. I only caught wind of it because of my previous line of work. Are you sure you want to hear it?” I was stunned. If…

      Nine Rings C73

      Nine Rings C73 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 73: The False Miracle The space inside the stone gate was vast, easily the size of two or three football fields. I couldn’t say for certain whether this was a side chamber or the main tomb chamber, but judging by its sheer scale, I decided to call it the Tomb Chamber for now. Beneath my feet lay piles of golden artifacts and gleaming jewels. Five bronze pillars stood in five different directions, their bases buried beneath golden sand. These pillars were crafted from the same material and…

      Nine Rings C20

      Nine Rings C20 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 20: The Terracotta Array It wasn't until I saw Tian Yuqing's reaction that I realized my sensitivity to danger was far too low. I was still wondering if this Tomb Raider had suffered severe injuries before dying here, but a little thought would tell you that couldn't be the case—there wasn't a single fatal wound on the body. I tightened the straps of my backpack and stood up alongside Tian Yuqing. He clearly had no interest in the Mummified Corpse on the ground anymore. "In ancient times,…

      Nine Rings C52

      Nine Rings C52 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 52: Gan Ji’s Risky Move Hou Jinshan made it pretty clear—he had no intention of letting me go any further. But I’ve always had a rebellious streak. I hate following rules, especially when they’re shoved in my face. The more he tried to shut me out, the more determined I became to stick with the team and keep moving forward. We got back in the car. The rain had stopped, and the sun broke through quickly, causing the temperature to spike. One by one, we started peeling off our jackets.…
