Nine Rings C07
by MarineTL — Chapter 7: The Strange Team With Fourth Brother not around, I locked the door from the inside and lay down on the bed, reflecting on everything that had happened today, especially that Nine-Ring Jade Casket. When Tian Yuqing asked me to take a closer look the second time, I did notice something I hadn't seen before. On the right side of the casket, there was a faint painting applied with a special kind of paint, which I hadn't noticed at first. I guessed it must be a unique paint that only becomes…

Nine Rings C08
by MarineTL — Chapter 8: Granny Yin I thought Tian Yuqing would arrange for me to ride in the same car as him, but to my surprise, he put me in the second car while he got into the first one. Squinting, I peered into the first car and saw an elderly man with a grizzled beard sitting in the backseat. I found it odd that there was such an elderly person in the group. At his age, enduring such a bumpy journey seemed rather inhumane. I wondered what the rules were. Reluctantly, I climbed into the backseat of the…

Nine Rings C01
by MarineTL — Chapter 1: The Beginning In truth, the start of many stories often stretches back much further than we imagine. That box wasn't famous at first; it appeared without any warning. In the late 1970s in New China, a few old farmers were leaning on their shovels, which were stuck deep in the ground.

Nine Rings C02
by MarineTL — Chapter 2: Fourth Brother's Guest Inside a courtyard on Longshan Road in Langling, Henan, I sat on a long bench, having waited for over an hour. The half cup of tea in my hand had been refilled and cooled numerous times. I checked my watch for the 32nd time, thinking that if no one showed up in ten minutes, I'd buy a train ticket for the afternoon and leave. This private residence was left by my grandfather. It was kept very clean, with a spirit tablet and incense burner on the altar. My…
