Tomb robber: I am the tenth of the nine gates

When Adjutant Zhang saw Qi Tiezui's eyes meet the big chieftain's, he turned his head to stare at Qi Tiezui and narrowed his eyes.

"I never thought that Master Ba would gain the trust of your chieftain so quickly."

Qi Tiezui thought that Adjutant Zhang had rarely said something sensible and that he was praising him, so he laughed and put his arm around Adjutant Zhang's shoulders.

"Of course not. You are awesome, aren't you?"

Seeing Qi Tiezui's smug expression, Adjutant Zhang felt that his back teeth were a little sharp and he wanted to grind them.

Chu Ning tilted his head to look over, and saw Adjutant Zhang had a face full of resentment, and Qi Tiezui was grinning so hard that his teeth were exposed...

"Do you smell something sour?"

Chu Ning's lips curled up slightly, with a mischievous look in his eyes, and his gaze wandered between Adjutant Zhang and Qi Tiezui.

Qi Tiezui believed it and actually sniffed around a few times. Finally, he even tilted his head to sniff the tip of Adjutant Zhang's ear.

"No?

Or maybe there’s mold in some building.”

Chu Ning looked at Adjutant Zhang again. At this moment, Adjutant Zhang's ears were as red as pomegranate seeds.

"Well, I must have smelled it wrongly. The smell has dissipated a little now."

Chu Ning smiled so widely that he almost laughed out loud. Chu Ning saw through Adjutant Zhang's thoughts, and at this moment he wished he could find a hole in the ground to bury his face in.

"Xiao Ning, follow me or my adjutant closely, don't be left alone.

I'll go in first and see where to set up."

After saying that, he patted Adjutant Zhang on the shoulder and left first.

Chu Ning nodded and waited for Qi Tiezui to enter the temple before he walked towards Adjutant Zhang.

"Adjutant, what's this? Huh?

Let me guess, it’s definitely not because he is jealous of the Eighth Master’s trust in the Great Chieftain.

So that means... huh?!"

Chu Ning widened his eyes and looked at Adjutant Zhang in surprise.

Adjutant Zhang covered Chu Ning's mouth before he could say anything, and now he shook his head with pleading eyes.

I...care about Qi Tiezui so much, maybe I'm just used to taking care of him, how can I still have...possessive desire? !

In fact, Adjutant Zhang himself was shocked by his sudden emotions.

Seeing the entanglement and struggle in Adjutant Zhang's eyes, Chu Ning was puzzled... He was worried that the Eighth Master would just say it directly, why was he hiding it?

Chu Ning blinked and poked the back of Adjutant Zhang's hand with his fingertips. Adjutant Zhang suddenly retracted his hand with an apologetic look on his face.

"Sorry, Xiao Ning, don't tell Master Ba, okay?"

Afraid that his hidden thoughts would be exposed, Adjutant Zhang almost pleaded.

Chu Ning tilted his head, confused but still made a promise.

“Don’t worry, I won’t tell Master Ba about this.

"Just adjutant, if you are worried about Master Ba, why don't you just say it? Why are you hiding your feelings so obscurely?"

When Adjutant Zhang met Chu Ning's clear eyes, he felt that all his little thoughts had nowhere to hide.

Just looking at Chu Ning like this, it seems that he didn't realize that he had some special feelings for Qi Tiezui as he thought?

Adjutant Zhang thought about it and realized that Chu Ning was so young, what could he see?

It was me... I was just seeing things.

But Chu Ning just looked at him with such concern that Adjutant Zhang felt helpless, as if he was performing for a blind man.

Finally, Adjutant Zhang moved his mouth, opening and closing his upper and lower lips, and said to Chu Ning with a complicated expression, as if he had lost all his strength.

"It's okay, Xiaoning, go play..."

Chu Ning: ?o?o?...It seems to involve the exploration of unknown areas...

Adjutant Zhang clenched his fists secretly. If he was not discovered, everything would be normal. If he was discovered, he would deny it. That's it!

Cheer yourself up, well done, Zhang Rishan!

…………

Night gradually fell, the moon outside the window was dim and the stars were sparse.

The night was particularly quiet and cool after dark. The big chieftain was sitting at a table not far away, and the group of people gathered around the fire to keep warm.

Perhaps because the village was deserted, they could even hear a few wolf howls in the dilapidated temple.

Qi Tiezui and Chu Ning each held a bowl of hot soup and huddled under the blanket they brought with them, looking quite comfortable.

Chu Ning saw the killers on the periphery, nudged Qi Tiezui and looked over there.

Qi Tiezui and Chu Ning made eye contact, and they both understood each other's meaning. In this situation, how could they not recite a poem!

Adjutant Zhang glanced at the two restless people and felt tired.

You must treat me to a day's wait to see the Buddha.

Do not!

I need to take a week off!

"Ah~ It's a dark and windy night~" Qi Tiezui took a sip of the soup and sighed while looking up.

Chu Ning imitated Qi Tiezui and took a sip, then raised his head and continued, "When killing people and setting fires!"

Everyone in the room was shocked when they heard this, especially the killer team. They thought they were exposed and their hands were reaching for knives.

The chief chief also cast a wary look at Qi Tiezui and Chu Ning.

Adjutant Zhang's eyelids jumped when he saw this, and he kicked Qi Tiezui rudely, and also gave Chu Ning next to him a slap on the face.

Two of them screamed "Ouch", one covered his legs and the other covered his head, and they looked aggrieved as they rubbed the parts that had been beaten.

Adjutant Zhang gritted his teeth, "You two! If you can't write poetry, don't talk!

This is the poem you wrote? ! "

Everyone in the room had different expressions on their faces, but they all lowered their heads and stopped looking over there, each of them trying not to smile.

The big toast lowered his eyes and paused for a long time before continuing eating the cake.

Adjutant Zhang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was paying attention to this side. He met two pairs of pitiful gazes and resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

He knew it! The child was quiet, so he must be doing something naughty?!

"You, you, you! Is it so great that you know martial arts?!

Look at the one that was given to our Xiao Ning, it’s all red.

You are not smart to begin with, don’t let me make you stupid again~"

Qi Tiezui seemed to be comforting Chu Ning, but in fact he was just trying to make the child angry.

Sure enough, Chu Ning slapped away Qi Tiezui's hand that was rubbing his forehead, and looked at Qi Tiezui with an accusing look on his face.

Adjutant Zhang is happy with his invisibility.

"Woo woo, I'm going to tell Second Master, Madam, Master Buddha, Master Jiu, Sister Yue, Chenpi, and Master Huo!"

I guess it's the Huo family's fault. After all, she gave me a Huo family token.

Anyway, Chu Ning has counted all the numbers that can be counted. After saying this, he looked up at Qi Tiezui and Adjutant Zhang with a proud look on his face.

Hearing Chu Ning counting on his fingers and shaking his head, Qi Tiezui's face changed and he looked at Adjutant Zhang. Adjutant Zhang spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know either.

Well, this little guy actually has so many people backing him up. Qi Tiezui was very moved.

"Hey~ Young Master? Xiao Ning? Ning Ning?

Master Ba is wrong~ Our Xiao Ning is the smartest child in the world!"

Chu Ning wasn't really angry at first, so he suppressed his smile and went to look at Adjutant Zhang. Adjutant Zhang rubbed his knuckles that had just hit Chu Ning, and he just hated his own impulsiveness.

Not to mention his immediate superior Zhang Qishan.

Chu Ning himself knew how precious the Second Master and the Ninth Master were, not to mention that there was also Chen Pi who argued with him every day.

Adjutant Zhang felt powerless again in the afternoon. He was destined not to experience the joy of beating children.

"... Master Ba is right, Xiao Ning is the best."

Adjutant Zhang said these words to coax a child with a numb face, which was such a funny contrast.

Chu Ning couldn't hold it back any longer. A sly smile appeared on his face, and he pounced towards the two of them like a puppy.

Qi Tiezui and Adjutant Zhang were startled and quickly opened their arms to catch Chu Ning, fearing that Chu Ning might accidentally bump into something.

Although some people were looking at the farce of the three people here, no one paid much attention to it. They just thought that the three brothers had a good relationship and were in the mood to play around.

Chu Ning sat down between the two people, and then spoke in a low voice, explaining why he asked Qi Tiezui to cooperate, attracting everyone's attention.

“You see, even the seat of the big toast is the one closest to the door. Although she is very alert, she is still not enough compared to those killers.

We attract everyone's attention, one reason is to prevent the killer from making any sneaky moves.

And there’s…”

Chu Ning said this and looked at the killer guard beside the chieftain.

"The chieftain didn't trust us that much, he just wanted Master Ba to help him find the direction temporarily.

It would be better to let her be more alert to her surroundings so that she can detect abnormalities earlier.

I am worried that the group of people will make some moves in the second half of the night."

After hearing Chu Ning's words, Adjutant Zhang and Qi Tiezui both nodded in agreement. Qi Tiezui was not polite and directly reached out and pinched Chu Ning's face.

The touch is extremely good, delicate and white, just like your fingers soaked in milk.

"Haha~ Our Xiao Ning is really smart~"

Chu Ning glared and warned ruthlessly.

"Master Ba, I'm going to tell Buddha... huh?!"

Qi Tiezui tried to stop him physically by covering his mouth. His free hand kept moving and he kept mumbling.

"Ah~ I don't want to listen, I can't threaten you!"

In the end, Chu Ning had a messy head and an expressionless face. He sat next to Adjutant Zhang with a cold face, away from Qi Tiezui.

If you look closely, you can see that the corners of his eyes are red, just like a puppy that has been severely bullied, which makes people feel guilty.

But the person he was facing was Qi Tiezui. Qi Tiezui rubbed his hands and said, well, I made a profit!

Let this brat not take care of himself and abuse his abilities. Now I have the chance to teach him a lesson!

Otherwise, with Chu Ning's personality, how could he really be so obedient as to allow Qi Tiezui to "torture" him like this? He would have definitely run away as far away as possible.

Adjutant Zhang shook his head. He had really seen it. "No wonder the Buddha always told me,

"Our Eighth Master can tell fortunes, but he can also tell people's hearts."

This sentence attracted the attention of Qi Tiezui and Chu Ning. Qi Tiezui straightened his back and smiled with his gums exposed.

"Eh?! Did Master Buddha really praise me like that?!"

Adjutant Zhang nodded, thinking about the second half of what Zhang Qishan said, and wanted to laugh, but had to hold it back.

Seeing Adjutant Zhang's expression, Chu Ning relaxedly took out a handful of pumpkin seeds from his small pocket and started eating them!

"Well, the Buddha also said that it was because Master Ba was so good at understanding people's minds.

So there are some things that I don't need to reason with you about, just go ahead~

Just use force!"

As Adjutant Zhang said this, he tore off a piece of the cake in his hand. Qi Tiezui's eyelids jumped when he saw it.

He snatched the cake from Adjutant Zhang's hand. He lost all his happiness and angrily pinched the cake in his hand.

"This Buddha is not praising me at all, he is clearly scolding me!

Eh?! So you don't understand what I'm saying, right?

what? "

Chu Ning blinked his eyes. Master Buddha had helped him to anger Master Ba invisibly.

Adjutant Zhang lowered his head and chuckled, while Qi Tiezui pointed at the two people who were laughing at the joke.

"Hey?! You two are still laughing!

Tsk~"

Qi Tiezui said with a gloomy tone, "After being with Master Buddha for so long, being bullied has become a daily occurrence.

I don’t know how the Buddha is doing now.”

Adjutant Zhang shook his head, and the smile disappeared from his brows. "Xiao Ning, what disease do you think Master Buddha has?"

Chu Ning was stared at by two people and couldn't eat the melon seeds in his hand anymore.

He couldn't tell these two people that the Buddha was disobedient and insisted on taking the meteorite jade with him.

Then it was affected by the power of the laws remaining in the meteorite jade, and now it is relying on its own blood to suppress the damage.

If he told them now, he would be revealing the secret of this world. In order to maintain the balance and operation of the small world, he would also be punished by Fusang...

Chu Ning clenched his fingers unconsciously and frowned slightly. He usually looked directly into the eyes of the two people, but now his gaze was dodging.

"Master Buddha... the medicine I gave Master Buddha should be able to last for a while, so we just need to hurry up and find Master Buddha.

Don't worry, as long as I find the Buddha, I will definitely restore him to his original state!"

Chu Ning's voice was full of sincerity.

Chu Ning was not good at lying at all, and Qi Tiezui and Adjutant Zhang also noticed it. Adjutant Zhang wanted to ask more questions, but was stopped by Qi Tiezui.

Qi Tiezui shook his head at Adjutant Zhang, who pursed his lips and nodded.

Everyone has secrets. Chu Ning appeared in this world by accident, and Qi Tiezui was a little scared.

He knew that what Chu Ning was hiding would definitely not threaten Zhang Qishan's life, but he was more afraid that Chu Ning would suddenly disappear after telling them!

“Well, Xiaoning, we believe you.

Next, we just need to reunite with Master Buddha as soon as possible!"

Adjutant Zhang saw Chu Ning's self-blame and patted Chu Ning on the shoulder.

"Xiao Ning, don't put too much pressure on yourself.

I am very tired today, lean on me and take a rest. "

Adjutant Zhang pressed Chu Ning's head on his shoulder. Chu Ning nodded, closed his eyes, leaned against Adjutant Zhang and stopped talking.

Qi Tiezui sighed. He really wanted the child to accept him wholeheartedly, but he was afraid that he could not afford the price.

The three of them stopped talking for a while, and a few villagers from the nearest Baiqiao Village came over to Qi Tiezui.

“Thank you sir, today was a very dangerous day.

If it weren't for you, we would still be stuck there!"

The villagers looked frightened.

Qi Tiezui waved his hand, "Oh, you're welcome, you're welcome."

“This valley is full of weirdness, no wonder it’s called the Valley of the Dead!

I heard that Black Joe is the most evil, we must have encountered a ghost today."

Qi Tiezui frowned, looking a little angry. A gentleman does not talk about strange and supernatural things.

"Nonsense!"

So he raised his voice and said, "I've heard this ghost many times.

Hey! Has anyone seen it? "

Everyone looked at each other, and no one said a word.

"I'm telling you, there are only humans in this world who are pretending to be gods and playing tricks!"

Qi Tiezui's voice was very firm, and carried an inexplicable soothing power.

One of the assassins questioned, "Why did Hei Qiao's men suddenly disappear and die there?

We saw all this with our own eyes.”

Qi Tiezui glanced over there, but also patiently explained, "Well, what you see may not be the truth.

Eyes can sometimes deceive us.

In short, none of us encountered any ghosts today, otherwise we would not be able to get out of this swamp!"

After Qi Tiezui finished speaking, he looked towards the chieftain and said, "But the appearance of the people from the Black Mountain Village is indeed a bit strange. I'm afraid they have a trick up their sleeve. Everyone should be careful."

The chief chief glanced at Qi Tiezui and then looked away.

The killer guards around the Great Chieftain were also shocked when they heard Qi Tiezui's words. Even if the guards wanted to kill the Great Chieftain, they would never cooperate with the people from Heiqiao Village.

They had not received any news about Heiqiao Village, so the guards began to analyze the situation.

"Big Chief, please don't be anxious, this Black Joe may not be coming for us.

They look like they are holding some kind of ceremony."

The chieftain nodded, but he had his own thoughts in mind.
