Chapter 113: The Tomb Raider Who Went to His Death Chen Canghai knelt beside me to rest. Seeing me look at him, he made a few hand gestures. After seeing them so often, I could guess most of what he meant. He Yu hadn't seen them much, so he didn't understand and tapped me on the shoulder. "Wh-what was that? What does that mean again?" I explained, "He might have had systematic training in something like Sanda before." Chen Canghai nodded after hearing my explanation. I had guessed correctly,…-

Chapter 112: Reinforcements from the Heavens I wondered if he was being a bit dramatic. Lu A'yao had only exchanged a few words with Tian Yuqing, so how did they end up being labeled as thick as thieves? Besides, even if he really was in league with Tian Yuqing, the man was still Tian Xiaoqi's cousin. She couldn't possibly fly into a murderous rage just because she couldn't get the answers she wanted, right? "This is a bit much, isn't it?" I forced a chuckle. Baldy waved a hand dismissively.…

Chapter 111: Baldy's Frankness On the sides nearest that stone wall, there were several rows of scattered shrines. I had noticed early on that some shrines held statues while others were empty. My previous experience with Chen Canghai while jumping on the stone pillars made me instinctively think of the Big Dipper. The fourteen shrines on both sides were arranged so that the positions where the statues were placed corresponded exactly to the seven stars of the Big Dipper. Based on my experience,…

Chapter 110: The Lotus Statue The light of the fire starter flickered in the stone passage. I stood alone before the stone wall. I didn't know the exact time, but it felt like a long time had passed. I had felt every inch of the gaps in the stone wall, and there was no doubt it was a single, solid piece. The surface was smooth, with no signs of mechanisms or grooves. Baldy had found a stick from somewhere and was tapping it on the ground out of boredom. The contact between the stick and the floor…

Chapter 109: The Wrong Path Fifteen minutes to memorize an entire map was no simple feat, especially since the structure was frustratingly complex. After Qiao Sangui finished speaking, I squeezed my eyes shut, forcing my brain to stay calm, then quickly looked down to start memorizing. When a person focuses intently on a single task, time always seems to slip away with inexplicable speed. After carefully examining every section of the map, I had essentially committed it to memory. As soon as the…

Chapter 108: The Underground Palace The second before I lost consciousness, in addition to the sight of Tian Xiaoqi moving as if in slow motion, there was an incredibly crisp sound. It was the noise of stone colliding with stone, accompanied by the heavy rumble of a mechanism being triggered. The entire mountain began to vibrate. A piece of rubble struck me squarely, and with a sharp pain in my shoulder, I quickly drifted into oblivion. However, I woke up soon after. Unlike previous times, I was…

Chapter 107: Poisoning and Murder He Yu was still jumping around, complaining about how we had ruined him. He grumbled that he was already having a run of bad luck, and now that we had used the explosives he provided to blow the Buddha statue to smithereens, he would probably choke on a sip of cold water from now on. I retorted, telling him that since he knew he had been down on his luck for so many years, praying to Buddha clearly hadn't done him any good. I suggested we try a different approach,…

Chapter 106: Blowing up the Buddha The Soul-Suppressing Pagoda. I understood it as a stone tower meant for suppressing and performing the Transcendence Ritual for the souls of the dead. Lu A'yao told me that the incantations chiseled into the pagoda were actually the text of the Diamond Sutra. Logically, the chanting I heard was likely meant for lonely spirits. "What do you mean? Why can't any of you hear it, but I can?" I protested. I wondered if the Bodhisattva thought my soul was impure and wanted…
