Nine Rings C14
by MarineTL — Chapter 14: Destination Tian Yuqing opened the car door and tossed me a black backpack from Lao Gen's hands. "Pack the Jade Casket well. No matter where you go, you must take the casket with you. If you find the journey too boring, you can try to crack it to pass the time." I packed the Jade Casket, slung the backpack over my shoulder, and got out of the car. He Yu was waiting for me in front of the second vehicle, smiling as he approached. "Hey, I didn't peg you for a tough guy. How'd it go? Judging by…

Nine Rings C13
by MarineTL — Chapter 13: The Grand Archaeological Project I am someone who is rarely curious about anything, and following this team to this point without knowing much is already my limit. Tian Yuqing was very adamant; if I were to learn everything from him, I would have to stick with the team to the end. On this point, his stance was firm. But abandoning Fourth Brother and running off on my own was something I could never do. My mother was a very career-driven woman. As soon as she finished breastfeeding, she left…

Nine Rings C12
by MarineTL — Chapter 12: Two Teams? This rhyme was never meant to teach anyone how to find dragon veins or explore grand tombs. Yet, many unskilled Tomb Raiders once believed it to be true. How could something so profound that some people spend their entire lives trying to understand be condensed into just a simple rhyme? The original purpose of this rhyme was to introduce the unique skills of each master among the Five Masters. It was meant to guide those who found themselves lost when determining the auspicious…

Nine Rings C11
by MarineTL — Chapter 11: Three Sacks of Rice Back in the car, the chill that had seeped into my bones seemed to be whisked away by the warmth of the air conditioning. He Yu had been woken by our commotion, but he didn't seem grumpy at all. Instead, he was curiously staring at Lu A'yao, who had just gotten into the car. Tian Yuqing had mentioned bringing in some help, but it turned out he had only invited Lu A'yao. Once we were all in the car, the convoy turned around and got back on the highway. My emotions were a…

Nine Rings C10
by MarineTL — Chapter 10: A Mistake I thought to myself, I've always been a straightforward person, lived for so many years without offending anyone. So why have all these big shots suddenly appeared here, itching to mess with me? It's not like I wanted to encounter a ghostly wall. How was I supposed to know that when you walk, nothing happens, but when I walk, an extra path appears? Tian Yuqing finally shifted his gaze away from me. He pushed Tian Xiao slowly to the threshold and stopped. Seeing Tian Xiao's frail and…

Nine Rings C09
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 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 second…

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…
