Tomb robber: I am the tenth of the nine gates

Qi Tiezui thought for a moment, then continued.

“But now that you mention it, I remember it.

There was a remarkable man in our Qi family's ancestor who integrated the two major schools of the Book of Changes and numerology to form his own school.

At that time in the martial arts world, everyone knew about our Qimen Divine Fortune Telling.

Tsk, what a pity that this successor is so immoral that he has lost all his unique skills."

Qi Tiezui said, looking at Chu Ning pitifully, "So Xiao Ning, are you sure you don't want to learn from me and inherit my legacy?"

It was not easy for him to come across such a good seedling.

Chu Ning tilted his head. Master Ba came again, "No."

Zhang Qishan had long been accustomed to Chu Ning and Qi Tiezui's relationship, so he was not in a hurry to urge them.

Qi Tiezui was already familiar with being rejected, so he immediately continued the topic.

"When this unique skill was passed down to me, there was basically nothing left.

Only a bronze mirror was left to protect the body, which was said to ward off evil spirits.

I’ve been wearing it for many years.”

As Qi Tiezui spoke, he reached into his clothes and rummaged around inside.

He really took out a palm-sized bronze mirror and held it in front of Zhang Qishan's eyes with both hands, cherishing it very much.

"This mirror can reveal the true form of evil spirits and ghosts. Take a look."

After saying that, he handed it to Zhang Qishan.

Chu Ning held up his chin and looked left and right. He always felt that Mr. Ba was just using this as an excuse to sell something.

I was afraid that Mr. Ba would start shouting in the next second: I don’t want nine dollars, I don’t want ten dollars, I only want five dollars now.

Five dollars won’t buy you any loss or cheating.

Take it home to ward off evil spirits and protect your home...

Chu Ning was lost in thought, and Zhang Qishan took it doubtfully.

Qi Tiezui was delighted, "Haha, oh, there's no water, I'll go add some water."

Zhang Qishan lowered his head to look at the mirror, and as he looked, he actually felt as if there was a small world in the mirror.

He could hear the sound of gunfire, and one tribesman after another fell before his eyes.

"father!!!"

Zhang Qishan dragged his father behind a big tree, rolling and crawling, to block the bullets.

But... all the tribesmen died in the end...

The young Zhang Qishan numbly dug one deep pit after another.

However, if Chu Ning was there, he would definitely find the place where the pit was dug. Isn’t this the burial ground they encountered when they entered the ancient tomb?

Zhang Qishan walked to his father's body, and the sadness and loneliness in his eyes reached its peak at this moment.

Suddenly a huge monster fell next to Zhang Qishan, and Zhang Qishan rolled over to avoid the attack.

Chu Ning turned sideways, snatched the bronze mirror from Zhang Qiling's hand, grabbed Zhang Qiling's wrist and channeled his Qi into Zhang Qiling again.

This time, Chu Ning's face turned pale.

"Buddha! Wake up!"

Chu Ning shook Zhang Qishan's arm, and Qi Tiezui poured the water back.

Seeing this, he raised his hand and waved in front of Zhang Qishan.

"What's going on? Master Buddha? Master Buddha!"

Zhang Qishan raised his head suddenly, and Qi Tiezui let out a long sigh of relief, "Ouch! You scared me to death!"

Chu Ning's lips turned pale at this moment, but he did not loosen his hand that was holding Zhang Qishan's wrist.

"Master Buddha, what did you see?"

Qi Tiezui was shocked by Chu Ning's expression and hurriedly poured a cup of hot water for Chu Ning.

Zhang Qishan looked dazed, "I saw... my father..."

Chu Ning slowly withdrew his hand. Zhang Qishan raised his eyes and was shocked by Chu Ning's expression.

"Xiao Ning!"

Chu Ning waved his hands, "It's okay, it's okay.

It's just a bit energy-consuming.

Master Ba, that mirror of yours is indeed of some importance."

Qi Tiezui said with a serious expression, "I was just out for a while, what happened to you two?"

Chu Ning waved his hand, signaling Zhang Qishan to speak first, as he felt a little exhausted.

Qi Tiezui turned his gaze to Zhang Qishan, "Master Buddha, did you say you saw your father?"

Zhang Qishan held Chu Ning's cold hand with one hand to warm it up, with thoughts surging in his mind.

"I saw my father, and then I was attacked by something..."

Qi Tiezui was trembling with fear, because he knew that Zhang Qishan's father had been gone for a long time.

"You mean..."

"Do you remember the bodies on the military train last year?"

Qi Tiezui paid attention to Chu Ning while answering Zhang Qishan's question, "Ah, I remember."

Zhang Qishan continued, "Those people were facing downwards, as if they were being pressed down by something, do you remember?

I also feel like my body is being pressed down by something.”

Chu Ning calmed down, took a sip of hot water, and continued Zhang Qishan's words.

"I have a guess that can probably confirm what Master Buddha said, but I still need evidence."

“Looking at Master Buddha’s current condition, it shouldn’t be too bad.

But Xiao Ning, why do you look worse than Master Buddha? "

Zhang Qishan did not loosen his hand around Chu Ning. Chu Ning moved his fingers but did not dare to look at the two men.

Without hiding anything, he said softly.

"…This is what I mean by suppression…"

Zhang Qishan held Chu Ning's hand even harder and stared at Chu Ning with an extremely serious expression.

“Don’t use this kind of power again. As Master Ba said, my situation is not that bad.

It's just that every time you use your power, you will be weak for a period of time.

Chu Ning, don't treat us as fools!"

Zhang Qishan's voice did not allow for any argument, and Qi Tiezui's face also darkened.

How could they not notice Chu Ning's condition?

The first time was in the mine tomb, dealing with those moths. It was also the first time that Zhang Qishan noticed the special physique of Chu Ning.

The second time was at the Hong Mansion. The maid fell ill. After Chu Ning came into contact with the maid, her condition improved somewhat, but Chu Ning collapsed.

The third time was at the Crescent Hotel, where Chu Ning fought against Peng Sanbian.

Qi Tiezui and Zhang Qishan both noticed the stiffness of Peng Sanbian's movements. Chu Ning's face turned pale after he finished fighting...

They saw all of this and knew that this was Chu Ning's secret. They, Jie Jiuye and Er Hong tacitly agreed to keep it secret for Chu Ning.

But now Zhang Qishan made it clear to Chu Ning, which meant that they didn't want Chu Ning to hurt himself to help them achieve their goals.

Chu Ning opened his mouth, lowered his head and agreed with Zhang Qishan's words.

The child looked even more pitiful with his head drooped.

Zhang Qishan did not comfort him as usual, and the same was true for Qi Tiezui.

If they are willing to include Chu Ning in their protection, then this protection in principle will not be compromised.

Pointing it out directly also makes the child realize that what he did was not covert and anyone who paid a little attention could discover it.

"Go back and have a good rest these few days. I will come up with a solution as soon as possible."

Qi Tiezui promised the two of them, and Chu Ning looked up and said, "I'll help too."

Zhang Qishan squeezed Chu Ning's hand hard and said, "Believe me, Master Ba. As for your guesses, we will confirm them one by one.

That’s if you put yourself first.”

Chu Ning shrank a little when Zhang Qishan held his hand, then nodded obediently.

Zhang Qishan stood up and reminded Qi Tiezui, "Don't tell anyone about what happened today."

Qi Tiezui nodded, and Chu Ning stood up with Zhang Qishan.

Zhang Qishan did not move, looking at Qi Tiezui, who looked around, "Master Buddha, what's wrong?"

Chu Ning quietly pulled his hand back, and Zhang Qishan's eyes trembled, "Didn't you say to bring some snacks?"

Qi Tiezui slapped his forehead and said, "Oh! Look at my memory!

Master Buddha, Xiao Ning, please wait a moment, I'll go get it!"

Chu Ning raised his eyes to look at Zhang Qishan, and saw Zhang Qishan's stern profile.

Zhang Qishan turned his head and met Chu Ning's eyes again.

Those eyes as clear as water seemed to be covered with a little mist, revealing a hint of sadness.

Just one glance and ripples of heartache arose in Zhang Qishan's heart.

Chu Ning's lips moved slightly, but no sound came out. However, Zhang Qishan knew what Chu Ning wanted to say.

"why?"

Deep in Zhang Qishan's eyes was a kind of pity that he himself was not aware of, and at this moment, these eyes were staring at Chu Ning.

A warm and soft smile appeared on his usually stern face, the corners of his lips turned up, and his voice was deep and pleasant.

"Because you're worth it."
