Tomb robber: I am the tenth of the nine gates

[Changsha - Huo Mansion]

"You said Chenpi sneaked out of town?"

Huo Sanniang tapped the tabletop lightly with her red-painted nails, glancing sideways at the person who was reporting.

The person reporting this felt her body go limp at the sight, even though she was also a woman.

"Master, he left openly, it's not like he left the city secretly..."

Huo Sanniang gently stroked her temples, slightly parting her red lips, looking bright and generous.

"You left the city last night, and you're just reporting it now."

Huo Sanniang hooked her finger and said, "Come here~"

The subordinate's body trembled slightly, but he still approached obediently, "...Master Huo, I deserve to die. I deserve to die.

I thought Captain Chen was one of our own, so I didn’t care…”

The subordinate's voice suddenly stopped because Huo Sanniang's fingers slid across his cheek and finally stopped at his chin, lifting his chin up to look at her.

"You can be stupid, but being too stupid will only be a burden~"

The guy was trembling all over. He didn't dare to stare at the person in front of him, nor did he dare to step back.

Huo Sanniang sneered and decided to let her go for the time being.

The people Chen Pi went out of the city to meet were none other than those people. Adjutant Zhang of Qi Tiezui did not dare to show up, and Er Yuehong himself had just sent them off, so he met them.

As for Chu Ning~

Huo Sanniang looked at her nails and thought of it as a favor. She didn't want the little guy to fall into Lu Jianxun's hands again. It would be pitiful.

Huo Sanniang was thinking this, and the waiter saw that Huo Sanniang did not move, so he thought of making up for his mistake, "Then boss, are you still going to chase me?"

"Go down and accept the punishment yourself, and this will not happen again.

I'm in a bad mood, whoever wants to chase me can chase me.

Close the door, no visitors today!"

Huo Sanniang stood up and left, walking with her long legs. The well-tailored cheongsam highlighted her slim figure.

The guy raised his hand and quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling that he had survived a disaster.

[Bai Qiao Village - near the Valley of the Dead]

The funeral procession finished their rest and walked out of the woods. The further they walked, the thicker the fog became, and finally water droplets fell from the sky.

Soon it started to rain heavily.

The chieftain in front ordered everyone to find their straw raincoats and put them on. He glanced at his child's coffin and frowned.

"Big toast, be careful."

The guard beside him saw that the chieftain slipped and hurriedly grabbed him, looking like he was doing his duty.

“This mountain road is difficult to travel on, and it’s raining now.

Even more…”

The guard only kept half of the answer and kept the other half, making it seem as if he was just trying to feel unfair, which further aroused the chieftain's resentment towards the guard.

Sure enough, I heard the chieftain say, "The guardian clearly knew that it was raining heavily, but he still forced me to go into the valley. He really has evil intentions!

I will never let him succeed!

Everyone, be careful and hurry up!"

The chief toasted raised his voice to remind the people behind him.

"Yes!"

The guard glanced at the chieftain and then lowered his head to the ground, as if he was watching his steps carefully, but the corners of his mouth hidden under his straw raincoat and hat slowly curled up.

Yes, the Dharma Protector not only has evil intentions, he also wants to kill everyone.

When the guard showed murderous intent, Chu Ning looked up and kept watching the guard's every move.

Seeing that the guards were only supporting the chieftain, he withdrew his gaze and paid careful attention to his feet.

It was because the rain was too heavy, making the road too slippery, and Chu Ning was almost sliding forward in the mud.

Staring at his soaked cloth shoes, he still remembered that Master Buddha said he would give him waterproof boots...

"You think this big toast is crazy?!

You are still on your way in such heavy rain, aren't you afraid of falling? "

It seemed to confirm what Qi Tiezui said.

Qi Tiezui's feet suddenly slipped and he was quickly picked up by Adjutant Zhang.

"Master Ba, please shut up!"

Adjutant Zhang was really afraid of Qi Tiezui's bad mouth.

"The chieftain probably doesn't want the prince to get wet in the rain, so he's in a hurry to get going.

After all, finding a place to stay sooner can also give the prince some rest."

Although the coffin was of high quality and coated with waterproof oil, which mother could bear to watch her child being exposed to the rain in the wild?

Chu Ning looked at the coffin that was constantly hit by the rain and spoke.

After hearing this, Qi Tiezui and Adjutant Zhang looked silently at the coffin, which was obviously much smaller than an ordinary coffin, and kept silent.

Qi Tiezui looked back quietly and saw that the killers, under the cover of their straw raincoats, had put their knives on their waists and put their hands on the hilts one by one.

"Brothers behind, please be careful~"

Qi Tiezui shouted in a concealed voice, then immediately turned around and hugged Adjutant Zhang's arm.

"Adjutant, I see those people behind us are about to take action!"

Chu Ning heard this and looked at the surrounding terrain, and whispered, "There is only one road around here, they shouldn't attack here.

At our speed, we will reach the open area in about 20 minutes.

That's near the swamp.

The chances of the killers taking action there are higher."

Qi Tiezui hugged Adjutant Zhang's arm even tighter, and he wanted to crawl into Adjutant Zhang's raincoat.

"What should we do then?" It was raining so heavily, which was different from what they had expected. Qi Tiezui's face was filled with anxiety and worry.

Adjutant Zhang patted Qi Tiezui's arm twice with his free hand and whispered.

"Master Ba, calm down.

Xiao Ning is right, they won't take action now.

We must remain unchanged in the face of change.”

Qi Tiezui assured Adjutant Zhang and Chu Ning, "Then the one at the back will rely on the Adjutant, and the one at the front will rely on Xiao Ning.

It all depends on you.”

Chu Ning and Adjutant Zhang turned their heads to look at Qi Tiezui. Qi Tiezui touched his nose guiltily and spoke in a lower and lower voice.

"Don't worry, I will stay far away and complete Xiao Ning's instructions. I will never get in your way!"

Chu Ning grinned at Qi Tiezui and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Master Ba~"

Chu Ning's smile widened as he looked at Qi Tiezui, who was walking close to Adjutant Zhang, and looked just like Adjutant Zhang's little wife...

Adjutant Zhang was very helpless, but still responded, "Okay~"

Qi Tiezui noticed that the two men were looking at him as if they were watching a show, so he immediately started to explain to them.

"Hey, first of all, let me make it clear.

I am not disloyal!"

Qi Tiezui had a very clear understanding of himself. Since he could neither protect Chu Ning nor help Adjutant Zhang, he might as well stay away to avoid making these two people worry.

"Master Ba, I have only one request for you.

As long as you don't hold me back, I'll be thankful~"

Adjutant Zhang met Qi Tiezui's accusing eyes and had to add very sincerely, "Really."

Chu Ning shrugged his shoulders. "I don't care. Anyway, I'm dealing with the one next to the chieftain."

Qi Tiezui was very happy to see that the two did not dislike him, "Hehe, that's good, that's good~"

The group walked for another fifteen minutes before they finished the road. The view ahead was wide, but there were many weeds and puddles.

Chu Ning coughed lightly, attracting the attention of Adjutant Zhang and Qi Tiezui.

"Adjutant, Master Eight, the people behind us have drawn their swords."

Qi Tiezui shook violently, pulling Adjutant Zhang's arm, and Adjutant Zhang stabilized his body.

"Do you want me to do it now?"

Adjutant Zhang asked softly.

Chu Ning's expression was serious, and he tilted his head and twitched his ears.

"No need for now, there is another wave of people ahead."

After Chu Ning finished speaking, the chieftain seemed to have noticed something. The guards beside him stared at the chieftain's raised hand nervously, thinking that they had revealed some flaw.

The chief chief only ordered, "Leave a few people to protect the prince, and the rest of you follow me."

The group quickly adjusted their formation and moved forward.

Chu Ning and Adjutant Zhang looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Adjutant Zhang received the signal and pulled his arm out of Qi Tiezui's arms, and gave Qi Tiezui a reassuring look.

After adjusting the team, Chu Ning and Qi Tiezui stood side by side, with only four or five guards from Baiqiao Village between them and the great chieftain.

Adjutant Zhang quietly moved to the back and turned around to face the killers.

The rest of the people carried the prince's coffin and followed from a distance behind.

The chieftain and his group hid behind a bush, and through the gap they could see the open space in front.

A group of people wearing black clothes and black headscarves were forming a circle and spinning and jumping continuously.

The group of people had small bells tied around their wrists and waists.

The sound of rain and bells merged into one for a moment.

Qi Tiezui whispered in Chu Ning's ear, "Xiao Ning, are these the other group of people you mentioned?"

Chu Ning nodded and looked at the back of the chieftain squatting in front of him and the guards standing very close to him, with suspicion in his eyes.

"I think the chieftain seems to know where the man in black is from."

Qi Tiezui asked doubtfully, "You can't be here to kill the chieftain, right?"

“No way…right?

The style of their clothes seems to be the same as those of the people in Baiqiao Village, but the color is different."

Chu Ning told what he had observed, and Qi Tiezui blinked and spoke speculatively.

"Then aren't they... 'Black Mountain Village'?"

Chu Ning twitched his lips. Is the village name so contradictory?

Then they heard the people behind them answering their questions.

"We are so unlucky. The Black Qiao Village and the White Qiao Village are sworn enemies. How could we run into someone from the Black Mountain Village here?"

The people from the Black Mountain Village in front finished dancing in the rain and then ran in one direction.

The chief chief immediately led them in that direction.

The two people behind Chu Ning and Qi Tiezui spoke again.

"Keep your voice down, this is the territory of the Black Mountain Village, it's not surprising to run into them, right?

This place must be full of traps, it will be safer for us to follow them."

"move!"

Chu Ning and Qi Tiezui exchanged glances. It seemed that those who wanted to become the great chieftain were like leeks, coming in one batch after another.

The chief chieftain and his entourage walked to the place where the Black Mountain Village had just formed a circle, observed it and did not find anything unusual.

The team carrying the prince's coffin caught up behind them. When they were almost reaching the great chieftain, the person carrying the coffin in front slipped.

He was about to fall, and no one was able to react to this sudden change.

Chu Ning mobilized almost all of his strength, and in two steps he teleported to the side of the coffin. He raised his hand and took the horizontal bar that was carrying the coffin.

I don’t know if it’s because all the skill points were put into his feet, but even though Chu Ning caught the horizontal bar with his hands, half of it still broke away and the entire horizontal bar and his hand fell on his shoulder.

The force was so strong that Chu Ning's face changed instantly.

Adjutant Zhang quickly ran to Chu Ning, stretched out one hand to lift the horizontal bar for Chu Ning, and used the other hand to pull up the porter who was carrying the coffin on the ground.

The chief chieftain took a step forward anxiously, but when he saw that the prince's coffin was fine, he retracted his step.

He tilted his head and whispered to the guard beside him, "Pay more attention to those two. They both look like martial artists."

The guard was startled and nodded to remember the appearance of Chu Ning and Adjutant Zhang. He kept wondering whether these two would ruin the guard's plan.

After the porter stood firm, he took the coffin from Adjutant Zhang and thanked him twice.

Adjutant Zhang looked at Chu Ning worriedly. Chu Ning shook his head at Adjutant Zhang with a pale face.

"I am fine."

After saying that, Chu Ning lowered his head and returned to the team, his lowered eyes filled with loss and helplessness.

Chu Ning's eyes were red. When did he become so... "useless"?

Chu Ning looked at his hands, clenched his fists, loosened them, and clenched his fists again...

Repeat this action in this way, but every time you use force with your hands, your shoulder will hurt more.

He was going to leave if Qi Tiezui hadn't come, but at the critical moment just now, Chu Ning was blown away like a gust of wind.

The only thing left in his ears was, "Master Ba, wait here."

Qi Tiezui did not rush there until Adjutant Zhang came back with Chu Ning. Qi Tiezui seemed to see a puppy with its head down, asking for comfort.

So Qi Tiezui stepped forward and put his hand on Chu Ning's shoulder that was hit, rubbing it slowly.

"Relax and don't talk.

Be careful or Master Ba will beat you up!"

Qi Tiezui glared at Chu Ning. Chu Ning's eyes turned red and he just looked at Qi Tiezui obediently.

Chu Ning clearly didn't say anything, but just based on this action, Qi Tiezui couldn't keep a cold face.

But he still couldn't help but scold the child.

"I'm so capable of you that I can order you, my Lord, to do this?

Show off! Let you show off again!

He can't even walk steadily, yet he tries to help others.

I think you should not go for the next move and leave it to fate!"

Qi Tiezui leaned close to Chu Ning's ear and spoke in a low voice.

Chu Ning froze, his face pale, his eyes pleading, and he negotiated with Qi Tiezui pitifully.

"Master Ba, I was wrong, I promise I won't do it again.

The adjutant can testify!"

Adjutant Zhang was also dragged into this. He glanced at Chu Ning's innocent look and raised his eyebrows.

I really don’t know whether the child raised by Buddha did it intentionally or not…

Qi Tiezui rolled his eyes at Adjutant Zhang in annoyance, "You two are the same!

He also told me to keep a low profile.

Well, you two are the most high-profile in the entire Valley of the Dead!"

Adjutant Zhang avoided Qi Tiezui's sight guiltily.

There was no one to take the bullet. Chu Ning curled his lips and suppressed the unhappiness in his heart. The most important thing at the moment was not to make Mr. Ba worry and get angry.

So Chu Ning rubbed towards Qi Tiezui little by little like a puppy, and while rubbing, he carefully looked at Qi Tiezui's reaction.

Qi Tiezui's eyelids twitched as he looked at his shoes which were wet by the water droplets on his two straw raincoats because Chu Ning was approaching.

Qi Tiezui smiles, Qi Tiezui jumps up and down, Qi Tiezui beats children on rainy days - he is just sitting around doing nothing anyway.

Chu Ning tried hard not to rub his face which was pinched red by Qi Tiezui. Why didn’t he rub it?

I don’t want Qi Tiezui to notice my shoulder pain, but if he sees the details, I’ll be in big trouble!

This matter came to an end and no one on their side paid attention to it. In the end, Adjutant Zhang was sent to the back to continue to stop the killer, while Qi Tiezui was staring at Chu Ning closely.

I will never listen to Chu Ning's promises again.

This little brat keeps talking nonsense! I can't fix it myself, so I'll ask Second Master, Buddha Master, and Ninth Master to take care of it!

It’s important to discipline your children as early as possible, including beating them!
