Chapter 278: Lacked Gou In Life.
Qing Ming City.
Underground.
The man and the card looked at the group of empty ancient tombs and they glanced at each other. The ancient tombs and lines that were just in front of them, contained things like geotry, advanced mathematics and calculus...
Lu Ming took one look and had a headache.
“You haven’t seen this before?” Lu Ming suddenly asked.
All the writings originated from ancient tis and Xiao-Xiaojian was an ancient sword spirit...
“I have. But I don’t understand,” Xiao-Xiaojian said honestly.
It felt that... Apart from a geomancy specialist, no one would study this!
“Good-for-nothing!”
Lu Ming looked down on it.
As an ancient sword spirit, it had lived long enough, yet it did not understand an ancient tomb!
Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.
It was a combat fighter. There was no need to solve mysteries!
Besides...
Why did he kill the man in black then?
“Can’t you spare one of your enemies?”
Xiao-Xiaojian felt helpless.
“If I spared his life, don’t you think that he would have continued burning his life?”
Lu Ming felt helpless.
Xiao-Xiaojian thought about it. That was true indeed.
They were helpless when they ran into a man who kept burning his life. If they had spared his life, he would have co up with ways to keep on burning his life!
But then again... It was because Lu Ming was too weak!
If he had been able to defeat them, there would have been no need to be concerned about this. Lu Ming would have been stronger after the enhancent of the Moonlight Card...
“Is the improvent due to the Moonlight Card very minimal?”
Xiao-Xiaojian felt that it was odd.
“It’s not too bad,” Lu Ming rembered. “In fact, it is quite strong. However, it mainly increased the fitness level. If it is used with an Energy Warrior, the effect would be excellent!
But when it is used on ...
At the very least, I can take a few more blows.”
Moonlight was very powerful.
He had no doubts about it.
It resulted in a comprehensive strengthening and increase in power!
It was just that...
Lu Ming did not major in cultivating his fitness level. The effect of the strengthening was very minimal. It rely increased his survival abilities!
His opponent this ti was a Demon Warrior!
Like the Sword Card Master, Demon Warrior did not major in cultivating its fitness level. If he had been an Energy Warrior...
Lu Ming would have suffered a crushing defeat.
“I see.”
Xiao-Xiaojian felt regretful.
It thought that with the Moonlight Card, Lu Ming would be able to fight his opponents head-on in the future! Guess what? He was useless! It still had to fight on its own!
“Good-for-nothing!”
Xiao-Xiaojian felt that its existence was very important.
Hahaha!
How dare he say that it was a loser?
“If you have such tempering...”
Xiao-Xiaojian was proud of itself.
Afterward...
It suddenly thought of sothing and kept its mouth shut.
Lu Ming had heard everything and was mulling over what it said.
That was right!
Why did he have to fight head-on?
Who had been cultivating?
Xiao-Xiaojian!
Who fought in battles?
Xiao-Xiaojian!
Since that was the case, when the Moonlight Card landed, he should hand it to Xiao-Xiaojian. Why would he strengthen himself? It was useless...
It was purely due to habit!
If he strengthened Xiao-Xiaojian...
Shush!
Lu Ming’s eyes lit up.
Furthermore...
Xiao-Xiaojian was the Original Card and it had been through tempering. Moreover, it was an ancient sword spirit and it had a limitless lifespan. If the Moonlight Card strengthened it, it could burn when necessary...
Ss——
Now that he thought about it...
He had no problem fighting a six-star!
It turned out that...
He was that impressive?!
“Right! This is it! In the future, you will take the steroids,” Lu Ming said excitedly.
Xiao-Xiaojian turned sullen.
Damn!
Why did he bring this up for no reason?!
“Please don’t do this.”
Lu Ming sighed. “It is very cool to be strengthened by the Moonlight Card.”
“Yes, you’re right.”
Xiao-Xiaojian looked at the ashes from the X layers of ice and fire in the distance. It was too tiring to rebut. “Of course it is cool. Look at the man in black that just died...”
Lu Ming was speechless.
The subject of enjoying the strengthening and dying was temporarily put to the side.
When they returned, he could get Xiao-Xiaojian to test it out. Burning life strengthening by moonlight... red and blue collaboration...
Monts later.
They walked around the ancient tomb, but they still could not find anything.
“Perhaps we should leave.”
Lu Ming felt very helpless.
He was sowhat envious of Lara.
It was true.
Regardless of which tomb she ended up in, she knew its origins and history. She could tell from the clues she gathered when she was being hunted down to deduce the sches of her enemies.
As for him?
He had killed his enemies and looked around the huge ancient tomb...
But he did not understand any of it.
He felt like a fool, bringing another fool with him.
The group of ancient tombs...
Lu Ming looked around. He had many doubts.
For example...
Had it been compromised?
What the hell was in there?
The tomb was ancient. Soone should have discovered it! Why was it that no one discovered it after that many years?!
It was a pity.
They had no idea at all.
“Let’s leave.”
Lu Ming decided to go back.
He would report the tomb to the police so that they would send people to take a look.
“Let’s go.”
Lu Ming was about to leave.
However...
Just then, a faint vibration ca from the distance.
“Eh?”
Lu Ming halted in his tracks.
Those sounds...
Soone was there!
“Let’s go!”
He rushed toward them instinctively.
Afterward...
He noticed that there was a faint sound coming from one of the ancient doors.
Yes.
It was a faint sound.
The ancient stone door seed capable of shielding energy. It had blocked 90% of the energy behind it and the sound seed like that of a mosquito.
He would have missed it if not for the slight vibration!
On the other side of the door...
Soone was attacking the stone door!
Lu Ming’s heart stirred slightly.
Like Lu Ming, the other party had co there for so reason and found another door to the group of ancient tombs. As for the n in black...
If they were the n in black, there was no need to bombard the door.
Oo...
Lu Ming had an idea and he hid quietly.
This was a good opportunity to lay an ambush!
Regardless of whether the other party was a friend or foe, he would give them a round of beatings first...
At the thought of this...
Lu Ming found a good position and waited to be able to strike the mont the other party appeared.
“Get ready.”
Lu Ming instructed Xiao-Xiaojian.
“Alright.”
Xiao-Xiaojian looked serious.
It was always serious during combat.
Hence...
They began to wait.
Bang!
Bang!
There were faint booming noises coming from outside the door.
Ten minutes later.
Bang!
Bang!
The faint booming noises continued.
Thirty minutes later.
Bang!
Bang!
The faint booming noises continued.
Lu Ming beca more and more upset. With the slowing down of the bombardnt of the stone door, he ca to a sad conclusion—
The other party could not open the stone door!!!
What was the point in waiting there?!
And...
Since they could not open the door, why did they co to the ancient tomb?!
...
At this very mont...
Outside the stone door.
A young man looked doubtful.
He held an ancient tool in his hand, and he pointed it at the stone door in front of him. Faint fluorescent lights flashed. The tool glimred.
Buzz—
Buzz—
Whenever it glimred, there would be so vibrations from the stone door.
Afterward...
There was nothing more.
The young man tried nurous attacks, but all of them were in vain!
“Isn’t this right?”
The young man was puzzled.
His master had said that...
There was a huge group of ancient tombs under Qing Ming City. The ancient tombs had been integrated together and their aura was recycled. The door could only be opened at a fixed timing!
His master said that this rare opportunity was for him!
Therefore...
He was there!
He ca there with full trust in his master.
It was a pity...
He did not see the ancient tomb.
He only saw a stone door and he could not open it!
His master gave him the materials and tools. He even gave him the exact ti! He clearly rembered that his master said that...
This mont... was the ti when the group of ancient tombs underwent maintenance.
In ancient tis, the person who was in charge of managing the group of ancient tombs would appear at this ti to maintain them. This was why this was the only ti he could enter!
And this...
This was his only chance!
This was a turning point in his life!
However...
He could not even open the door!
No matter how he tried, he could not open the door with the tools left by his master. It did not seem right. The heavy stone door seed to be dead and it could not be opened!
This was strange...
His master had said that the seventy two stone doors complented each other to form a perfect cycle. This thing that he set up was to boost the cycle!
This was how he would be able to open the stone door!
However...
It was ineffective!!!
What did this an?
Master...
He had made a mistake again...
The young man sighed.
He had given up.
“Master. I have followed your will and ca here. It’s a pity, the stone door could not be opened.
I don’t know whether it is a legacy or a legacy site behind the door. Or perhaps it is an ordinary ancient tomb. But this is no longer important...”
The young man lit three joss sticks in front of the door.
“Master. I have done everything according to your wishes.”
The young man had a bitter smile. “I can’t change the fact that there is nothing. It has been three years. I have been searching for three years. It’s ti for to work on my cultivation...”
With that...
He kowtowed.
“Master.
Take care of yourself down there. I...”
He kowtowed respectfully.
Afterward...
Bang!
There was a deafening sound.
The heavy stone door opened slowly.
The young man looked up with a dazed look. He noticed that there was a figure behind the stone door! Lu Ming, who was on the other side looked sullenly at the young man.
Oh.
Since this guy was about to give up, he decided to help him.
Afterward...
He witnessed the scene where he kowtowed to him.
Was this a joke?!
The Lunar New Year was long over. Why was he being so polite?!
Shush!
The stone door opened slowly.
The young man cleared his mind and he could see a man clearly.
“Lu Ming?!”
He was surprised.
“Do you know ?”
Lu Ming looked calm.
“Of course.”
The young man got up. “You are the only person who is more good-looking than in Qing Ming City.”
“Oh?”
Lu Ming took a careful look at his appearance. “You are indeed dashing, but you are second to .”
Xiao-Xiaojian was silent.
Lu Ming was getting more and more shaless.
...
Shush!
The atmosphere turned silent.
After singing praises of each other, Lu Ming and the young man looked at each other, getting ready to strike anyti. The atmosphere was strange and tense between them.
Lu Ming rotated a card in his hands.
The young man grabbed an odd stick-like tool..
The atmosphere... Beca more and more tense.
...
“Who exactly are you?”
Lu Ming squinted his eyes.
“Li Ergou,” the young man said.
Lu Ming paused montarily. “I have no idea how I should continue this conversation with this na of yours...”
“My master gave this na. He said that I am too reckless and that I might die easily. I lack the Chinese word Gou [1. In Chinese, this ans drifting in life but managing to stay alive] in my life.”
Li Ergou felt very helpless too.
Because of this na, he had been single his whole life. It was a pity that he had such good looks.
“Your master?”
Lu Ming pondered deeply.
“Yes.”
Li Ergou did not hide anything from him. “My master is a fortune-teller... oh, no, he was a Scout... Master said that there is a group of ancient tombs over here and told to take a look...”
According to the past experience, his rate of survival would increase if he pointed out that he had a master.
“You know about the group of ancient tombs?”
Lu Ming was shocked.
This guy was here for the group of ancient tombs!
It seed that he had finally found soone who knew about the tombs!
“There really is a group of ancient tombs?!”
Li Ergou was surprised.
Damn!
His master was right?!
Lu Ming looked sullen. “Judging from your tone... I can’t help but doubt your words.”
He did not seem like he knew about the tombs!
Didn’t he say that he was here for the group of ancient tombs?
“My master was rarely correct.” Li Ergou was honest. “Now I am very doubtful of the reason why my master gave this na. It might be because he saw two yellow dogs at the village entrance of the neighboring Widow Village.”
Lu Ming was speechless.
He could tell at one glance that he was soone who obeyed his master’s words!
...
Li Ergou was being very honest.
It was true.
He had revealed everything that could be said or could not be shared to him.
He even ntioned that his master liked to roam around the Widow Village at night...
Lu Ming believed that he really followed his master’s words to co there to investigate the group of ancient tombs. The most important thing was they had no conflict of interests!
He was here to investigate the group of ancient tombs! While Lu Ming needed soone who knew about the tombs!
As for his ability...
It was more or the less similar.
Hence...
The two of them hit it off!
