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 geometry, advanced mathematics and calculusâŠ
Lu Ming took one look and had a headache.
âYou havenât seen this before?â Lu Ming suddenly asked.
All the writings originated from ancient times and Xiao-Xiaojian was an ancient sword spiritâŠ
âI have. But I donât understand,â Xiao-Xiaojian said honestly.
It felt that⊠Apart from a geomancy specialist, no one would study this!
âGood-for-nothing!â
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!
BesidesâŠ
Why did he kill the man in black then?
âCanât you spare one of your enemies?â
Xiao-Xiaojian felt helpless.
âIf I spared his life, donât you think that he would have continued burning his life?â
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 come 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 enhancement of the Moonlight CardâŠ
âIs the improvement due to the Moonlight Card very minimal?â
Xiao-Xiaojian felt that it was odd.
âItâs not too bad,â Lu Ming remembered. âIn 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 meâŠ
At the very least, I can take a few more blows.â
Moonlight was very powerful.
He had no doubts about it.
It resulted in a comprehensive strengthening and increase in power!
It was just thatâŠ
Lu Ming did not major in cultivating his fitness level. The effect of the strengthening was very minimal. It merely increased his survival abilities!
His opponent this time 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 WarriorâŠ
Lu Ming would have suffered a crushing defeat.
âI see.â
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!
âGood-for-nothing!â
Xiao-Xiaojian felt that its existence was very important.
Hahaha!
How dare he say that it was a loser?
âIf you have such temperingâŠâ
Xiao-Xiaojian was proud of itself.
AfterwardâŠ
It suddenly thought of something 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 uselessâŠ
It was purely due to habit!
If he strengthened Xiao-XiaojianâŠ
Shush!
Lu Mingâs eyes lit up.
FurthermoreâŠ
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 necessaryâŠ
Ssââ
Now that he thought about itâŠ
He had no problem fighting a six-star!
It turned out thatâŠ
He was that impressive?!
âRight! This is it! In the future, you will take the steroids,â Lu Ming said excitedly.
Xiao-Xiaojian turned sullen.
Damn!
Why did he bring this up for no reason?!
âPlease donât do this.â
Lu Ming sighed. âIt is very cool to be strengthened by the Moonlight Card.â
âYes, youâre right.â
Xiao-Xiaojian looked at the ashes from the X layers of ice and fire in the distance. It was too tiring to rebut. âOf course it is cool. Look at the man in black that just diedâŠâ
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 collaborationâŠ
Moments later.
They walked around the ancient tomb, but they still could not find anything.
âPerhaps we should leave.â
Lu Ming felt very helpless.
He was somewhat 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 schemes of her enemies.
As for him?
He had killed his enemies and looked around the huge ancient tombâŠ
But he did not understand any of it.
He felt like a fool, bringing another fool with him.
The group of ancient tombsâŠ
Lu Ming looked around. He had many doubts.
For exampleâŠ
Had it been compromised?
What the hell was in there?
The tomb was ancient. Someone 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.
âLetâs leave.â
Lu Ming decided to go back.
He would report the tomb to the police so that they would send people to take a look.
âLetâs go.â
Lu Ming was about to leave.
HoweverâŠ
Just then, a faint vibration came from the distance.
âEh?â
Lu Ming halted in his tracks.
Those soundsâŠ
Someone was there!
âLetâs go!â
He rushed toward them instinctively.
AfterwardâŠ
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 seemed capable of shielding energy. It had blocked 90% of the energy behind it and the sound seemed like that of a mosquito.
He would have missed it if not for the slight vibration!
On the other side of the doorâŠ
Someone was attacking the stone door!
Lu Mingâs heart stirred slightly.
Like Lu Ming, the other party had come there for some reason and found another door to the group of ancient tombs. As for the men in blackâŠ
If they were the men in black, there was no need to bombard the door.
OoâŠ
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 firstâŠ
At the thought of thisâŠ
Lu Ming found a good position and waited to be able to strike the moment the other party appeared.
âGet ready.â
Lu Ming instructed Xiao-Xiaojian.
âAlright.â
Xiao-Xiaojian looked serious.
It was always serious during combat.
HenceâŠ
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 became more and more upset. With the slowing down of the bombardment of the stone door, he came to a sad conclusionâ
The other party could not open the stone door!!!
What was the point in waiting there?!
AndâŠ
Since they could not open the door, why did they come to the ancient tomb?!
âŠ
At this very momentâŠ
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 glimmered.
Buzzâ
Buzzâ
Whenever it glimmered, there would be some vibrations from the stone door.
AfterwardâŠ
There was nothing more.
The young man tried numerous attacks, but all of them were in vain!
âIsnât this right?â
The young man was puzzled.
His master had said thatâŠ
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!
ThereforeâŠ
He was there!
He came there with full trust in his master.
It was a pityâŠ
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 time! He clearly remembered that his master said thatâŠ
This moment⊠was the time when the group of ancient tombs underwent maintenance.
In ancient times, the person who was in charge of managing the group of ancient tombs would appear at this time to maintain them. This was why this was the only time he could enter!
And thisâŠ
This was his only chance!
This was a turning point in his life!
HoweverâŠ
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 seemed to be dead and it could not be opened!
This was strangeâŠ
His master had said that the seventy two stone doors complemented 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!
HoweverâŠ
It was ineffective!!!
What did this mean?
MasterâŠ
He had made a mistake againâŠ
The young man sighed.
He had given up.
âMaster. I have followed your will and came here. Itâs a pity, the stone door could not be opened.
I donât 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 importantâŠâ
The young man lit three joss sticks in front of the door.
âMaster. I have done everything according to your wishes.â
The young man had a bitter smile. âI canât change the fact that there is nothing. It has been three years. I have been searching for three years. Itâs time for me to work on my cultivationâŠâ
With thatâŠ
He kowtowed.
âMaster.
Take care of yourself down there. IâŠâ
He kowtowed respectfully.
AfterwardâŠ
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.
AfterwardâŠ
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.
âLu Ming?!â
He was surprised.
âDo you know me?â
Lu Ming looked calm.
âOf course.â
The young man got up. âYou are the only person who is more good-looking than me in Qing Ming City.â
âOh?â
Lu Ming took a careful look at his appearance. âYou are indeed dashing, but you are second to me.â
Xiao-Xiaojian was silent.
Lu Ming was getting more and more shameless.
âŠ
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 anytime. 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⊠Became more and more tense.
âŠ
âWho exactly are you?â
Lu Ming squinted his eyes.
âLi Ergou,â the young man said.
Lu Ming paused momentarily. âI have no idea how I should continue this conversation with this name of yoursâŠâ
âMy master gave me this name. He said that I am too reckless and that I might die easily. I lack the Chinese word Gou [1. In Chinese, this means drifting in life but managing to stay alive] in my life.â
Li Ergou felt very helpless too.
Because of this name, he had been single his whole life. It was a pity that he had such good looks.
âYour master?â
Lu Ming pondered deeply.
âYes.â
Li Ergou did not hide anything from him. âMy 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 me to take a lookâŠâ
According to the past experience, his rate of survival would increase if he pointed out that he had a master.
âYou know about the group of ancient tombs?â
Lu Ming was shocked.
This guy was here for the group of ancient tombs!
It seemed that he had finally found someone who knew about the tombs!
âThere really is a group of ancient tombs?!â
Li Ergou was surprised.
Damn!
His master was right?!
Lu Ming looked sullen. âJudging from your tone⊠I canât help but doubt your words.â
He did not seem like he knew about the tombs!
Didnât he say that he was here for the group of ancient tombs?
âMy master was rarely correct.â Li Ergou was honest. âNow I am very doubtful of the reason why my master gave me this name. It might be because he saw two yellow dogs at the village entrance of the neighboring Widow Village.â
Lu Ming was speechless.
He could tell at one glance that he was someone who obeyed his masterâs words!
âŠ
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 mentioned that his master liked to roam around the Widow Village at nightâŠ
Lu Ming believed that he really followed his masterâs words to come 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 someone who knew about the tombs!
As for his abilityâŠ
It was more or the less similar.
HenceâŠ
The two of them hit it off!
