Chapter 2168: Too Much Karmic Hindrance
The others were also eating.
Mo Juechen suddenly said to Gu Rui, “Gu Rui, we are now grasshoppers strung together on the same rope. You should tell us what you know. Information should be shared with all of us.”
“You already know what I know. I have never been here before and I have no more knowledge than you. But since we have already entered, we should be more careful.”
Mo Juechen wiped his face. “Gu Rui, do you think this is the first day I’ve met you? If you haven’t hidden even a tiny piece of information, I’ll fucking take your surname.”
Gu Rui shook his head. “I’m really not hiding anything from you.”
Mo Juechen wiped his face irritably.
Ning Shu felt that Mo Juechen was restless.
Under this faint but constant pressure, everyone was put under large amounts of stress and Mo Juechen’s irritability affected everyone around him.
Ning Shu silently recited the heart-clearing chant.
“Young Master Mo, please suppress the restlessness in your heart. This poor Toaist has already said that it will be easy for you to have an accident inside the tomb,” Cheng Mingzi said.
“Preach to me again, and I’ll kill you.” Mo Juechen stared at Cheng Mingzi with red eyes.
Mo Juechen hadn’t gone crazy, had he?
Mo Juechen felt agitated when he saw everyone staring at him.
This place had an aura that he hated and he felt suppressed and uncomfortable.
He wasn’t even able to vent his anger.
Gu Rui looked at Mo Juechen and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
“I’m not feeling well,” Mo Juechen said irritably.
Cheng Mingzi flicked his horsetail whisk and said lightly, “Young Master Mo has too much karmic hindrance.”
“Karma, ha…” Mo Juechen sneered. “Even if I had a chance to do things over, I would still choose to kill those who deserve to be killed.”
Cheng Mingzi didn’t say anything more and just smiled indifferently.
Ning Shu looked at Mo Juechen’s red eyes. His meridians weren’t really about to flow the wrong way and make him go crazy, right?
Under the circumstance that there was no danger, if he just went crazy by himself, that would really be a joke.
“Let’s keep going.” Gu Rui pulled Ning Shu away.
Mo Juechen rubbed his forehead, shook his slightly dizzy head, and followed the group.
After an unknown amount of walking, the group finally came to the end of the passage.
The end was blocked by two massive stone doors with a squatting stone lion placed on each side.
The stone lions were blood red and were a frightening sight at first glance.
The stone doors looked very heavy and probably couldn’t just be pushed open.
Everyone looked at Gu Rui.
Gu Rui stared at the stone lions and remained silent for a while.
“Is there any way to get in?” Mo Juechen asked.
Gu Rui glanced at Ning Shu. Then he pulled out a dagger and grabbed Mo Juechen’s hand. He cut Mo Juechen’s palm and pressed it to one of the stone lions.
The stone lion actually began to absorb Mo Juechen’s blood.
“What are you doing?” Mo Juechen’s face was extremely ugly as he stared at Gu Rui.
Gu Rui let go of Mo Juechen’s hand and said lightly, “If my guess is correct, this stone lion is the mechanism to open the doors.
“Why didn’t you cut your own hand?” Mo Juechen stared at Gu Rui angrily. “You said you didn’t hide anything from me. How did you know such a thing?”
“I, of course, have my own information channels. Don’t forget that the state preceptor was from the Jia Kingdom.” Gu Rui stared at the stone door and explained insincerely.
When the blood from the wound had been completely absorbed, the stone doors slowly opened.
Ning Shu stared at the doors. This opening mechanism was unscientific.
Was some mechanism triggered by the blood and then caused the doors to open?
The ground beneath her feet trembled slightly and when the stone doors had opened completely, a strange smell came out.
