Nine Rings C175
by MarineTL — Chapter 175: Spirit Channeling It was impossible for any mechanism to silently move a massive, solid stone door to another location. This was a matter of physics, not metaphysics; moving something that heavy would inevitably make noise. With that realization, our previous "mechanism theory" fell apart on its own. But if it wasn't a large-scale mechanism, what else in a tomb could move a door without making a sound? He Yu sucked in a breath of cold air. "Um, Xiao Yao, let me brainstorm for a…

Nine Rings C174
by MarineTL — Chapter 174: The Yin-Yang Thirteen Palaces I realized something immediately. I had been wrong from the very start when I first saw that string of numbers. I had been calculating based on what each part of the code represented after the founding of New China: for example, "434" stood for the 434 Archaeological Team, and "1951" likely referred to the year 1951. But I had forgotten one thing: the code for the Nine Rings Project was "4341951009." It didn't just refer to a single part. To truly understand…

Nine Rings C173
by MarineTL — Chapter 173: The Dead Man's Credentials The passage ahead reached its first corner. He Yu stopped and shone his flashlight at the ground. "Whoa! Your analysis was spot on. Look at all this sand and these footprints. They're a mess. Looks like quite a few people from that damn archaeology team made it in!" I was leaning against He Yu's back, my chest hurting too much to even stand up straight. I could only listen as he described the scene. "We've been seeing these footprints all along the way, but…

Chapter
Nine Rings C172
by MarineTL — Chapter 172: Severe Injuries The massive grinding of stone and the whistling of wind roared in my ears. Simultaneously, an even louder sound emerged. At first, I thought it was the resonance of dozens of stone beams moving in unison, but after listening for a while, I realized with a jolt of alarm that it wasn't. The realization hit when my leg touched a relief on the rock wall. It was a turtle-faced immortal holding a banner. This immediately put me on high alert, because this rock wall should have…

Nine Rings C171
by MarineTL — Chapter 171: The Mechanism Tian Xiaoqi and I continued forward along the plank path. The walkway, constructed from linked iron chains, was incredibly unstable. I had no idea how deep the darkness below went or how high up we were, so I didn't dare move too fast. This slowed our pace to a crawl, forcing us to stop every three steps. After walking for over half an hour, sweat pouring down my face, I shone my flashlight toward the end of the rift. I discovered the path was nearly at an end, and not far…

Chapter
Nine Rings C170
by MarineTL — Chapter 170: Parting Ways I was completely baffled by his words. I looked up at the column-head bracket sets in the Spirit Path. These architectural elements weren't commonly used in tomb passages; they were more typical of palaces. The designer had likely incorporated them into the Spirit Path to provide a robust structural barrier, offering significant support. However, I soon realized that I had never seen this particular style of bracket set before. Every joint and connection was unusual, and the…

Nine Rings C17
by MarineTL — Chapter 17: The Eccentric The tradition of the Record Keeper of the Heard has been passed down through the ages, branching into various sects over time. The He family remains steadfast in their adherence to the old ways. Traditional Record Keepers of the Heard hold a distinctly martial worldview, forbidding their direct descendants from pursuing official positions or high-level clerical work. As a direct descendant of the great-grandson generation, He Yu was naturally barred from such professions.…

Chapter
Nine Rings C169
by MarineTL — Chapter 169: Master Jiyun's Ominous Tomb? "Master Jiyun? Why does that name sound so familiar?" He Yu stared up at the sky, looking like he was thinking hard. After a long moment, he let out a sudden "Oh!" of realization. "I remember now! He's that Feng Shui master!" I noticed that after I voiced my suspicion, Lu Ayao fell into a rare silence. I had a strong premonition that if the records in the Lu Family Ancestral Hall were the only things proving Master Jiyun's historical existence, then Lu Ayao's…
