Tomb Raider: Make your choice from the Old Nine Gates

Even though Zhang Qihai tried his best to rescue him and snatched him from Fa Si's hands, the old man was still barely breathing and it seemed that he might die at any time.

"Wait a minute, old man. If you hold on a little longer, we will definitely get you out of this mine."

When Er Yuehong saw the dying old man, he didn't know whether it was because he thought of his ancestors, but a moment of pain flashed in his eyes.

"leave here."

The old man murmured to himself, and there was a hint of longing in his words.

"For decades I have dreamed of leaving here, but I have walked here again and again, walked here again and again, and have learned all the conditions of the land here, but I can't leave this mine."

Hearing this, everyone began to sigh.

"Wait a minute, old man. We will definitely take you away. Just hold on. The medical equipment out there is very advanced. You must hold on."

Zhang Qihai also spoke up. After all, the old man had helped them so much, and of course he didn't want the old man to die because of leading him.

"I may not be able to make it. If I can't go out, then I can't go out. I have been here for decades. Although every day is hard, I am much luckier than my fellow miners who died."

The old man's voice became weaker, and then he said to everyone, "It's okay, you don't have to be sad for me. After all, I've lived like this, and it would be a relief if I die. I'm so old, even if I die, I will definitely not have any relatives."

"Old man, I'm sorry."

Qi Tiezui couldn't bear to see this kind of scene, and spoke with a choked voice.

Zhang Qihai originally wanted to give the old man acupuncture and help prolong his life so that he could hold on until he got out. However, he found that he did not take these belongings, and he felt very powerless for a moment.

Even though he was a skilled doctor, he could not cook without rice. In this situation, he had nothing and could do nothing to help this old man.

Everyone fell silent.

After a while, Zhang Qihai slowly spoke.

"Old man, I'm really sorry that I asked you to lead the way for us, and you got implicated. Don't worry, we will bury you properly after we get out. The Buddha and I will also do our best to find your family. If they are still alive, we will give them a good end and ensure that they will have enough food and clothing in the future."

Zhang Qihai made a promise to the old man. This was the last thing he could do for the old man so far.

"If that's the case, then I have nothing to regret in this world."

The old man spoke. He was already very weak. Now Zhang Qihai had arranged everything for him clearly. He had no attachment to the world anymore. In the end, he died under the gaze of everyone.

For a moment, everyone was surrounded by a sad atmosphere and silently mourned for the old man for three minutes.

However, their top priority now is to find out the conspiracy of the foreigners, and they still have to continue doing what they should do, so they had to order a few servants to carry the old man's body and continue to move forward.

On the other side, Jude Kao suddenly came up with an idea and then said it to everyone.

"Since Zhang Qishan got his name because of a big Buddha, we can also follow this method and ruin his reputation."

When he said this, everyone's interest was obviously piqued, and they all looked in his direction, waiting for him to continue talking about this idea.

"Whether Zhang Qishan has the ability to move mountains and fill soil or not, he has placed a big Buddha in his home and is also revered as the Big Buddha by others. So we can also follow his example and give him a taste of his own medicine. We can find a suitable candidate from among the Zhang family's personal soldiers, and then tell him about Zhang Qishan's burial and use his personal soldiers to create public opinion."

“That’s a good idea.”

"Such words will indeed have a great impact on Zhang Qishan. Mr. Jude Kao, you are indeed smarter."

"Okay, let's do this. Not only Zhang Qishan, but also Er Yuehong, Zhang Qihai, Qi Tiezui, and Jiu Ye. All of them will suffer."

Several people hit it off and agreed to the idea immediately.

"The pressure from public opinion is quite great right now. If this matter can be successfully spread, I estimate that it won't be long before Zhang Qishan's reputation in Changsha will be completely ruined."

Jude Kao continued to add, and couldn't help but smile on his face, as if he had foreseen what would happen to Zhang Qishan when he was in trouble.

At this time, Zhang Qihai and the others were still in the mine, walking deeper into the mine. Of course, it was impossible for them to know what these people were thinking.

They continued to move forward, and after an unknown amount of time they finally arrived at the mysterious bronze door described in the records of Senior Er Yuehong.

"We're here, we're finally here."

"It's been a long time coming, and it's finally here."

"I've been looking forward to this place day and night, and now it's finally here."

Several people spoke excitedly, although they didn't know what was waiting for them behind the bronze door, but they all knew that after entering this door, the conspiracy of the Japanese people might be solved.

Of course, being able to unravel the Japanese conspiracy has been what these people have been thinking about day and night.

Several people continued to move forward and stopped in front of the gate.

"Those who enter this door should give up all hope."

Qi Tiezui read the words above. Although Er Yuehong had already mentioned this when he talked about his ancestors, and also mentioned this incident, when they saw this sentence in person, they couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Anyone who enters this door should give up all hope.

What hope should be abandoned?

What does this sentence mean?

"Master Buddha, this sentence sounds really creepy. Do we really want to go in?"

Qi Tiezui couldn't help but hesitate and asked Little Buddha.

Chapter 80 Handicap

"Of course we have to go in. We have gone through so much trouble to get to this place, just to enter this bronze door. If we give up now, all our efforts will be wasted."

Zhang Qihai spoke without hesitation.

It was just one sentence, how could it possibly stop his efforts over this period of time.

Qi Tiezui was in hesitation. Although he was a little afraid of death, he also wanted to know something about the secret inside the bronze door.

"I want to go in with you, too."

"Me too."

"Together."

At this time, Er Yuehong, Master Fo, and Master Jiu all spoke up, all with a fearless look on their faces.

In fact, they knew in their hearts that even after entering the bronze door, there would still be an ancient tomb inside. After all, this was recorded in the materials compiled by Er Yuehong's ancestors. However, the ancient tomb represented danger and meant that they would face various challenges.

"Okay, in that case, let's go in together."

Seeing that several people spoke without hesitation, Zhang Qihai was naturally moved by this kind of brotherhood.

He looked stunned for a moment, then spoke to the crowd.

"Let's go in."

The Buddha said it again at this time.

Qi Tiezui also walked forward, "No matter what, we have always been brothers. Since you are determined to do this, I will be drunk for seven days and accompany you to the death today. I will risk my life to play with you."

"Well done!"

It was rare for these people to see Qi Tiezui being so tough, so they couldn't help but turn their eyes to him, and some of them looked at Qi Tiezui with some satisfaction.

Afterwards, the group tried their best to open the door.

"As expected, there is still an ancient tomb inside."

Qi Tiezui murmured to himself that although he was not good at martial arts, he had some attainments in the area of ​​Qimen Bagua, so he told himself a fortune before going in, and it turned out to be like this.

However, the hexagrams did not indicate whether it was good or bad, so he was not sure what he would encounter next.

"Let's go ahead and take a look."

Zhang Qihai carefully observed the pile of ancient tombs and found nothing special, so he led the group to continue moving forward.

At this time, everyone was used to responding to his call, so they followed Zhang Qihai forward, and soon they arrived at another place.

"I'll go, what's going on?"

"There are several cave entrances here, Little Buddha. Which one should we go through?"

"I remember the information about Er Yuehong's ancestors mentioned something about the gate of life and death. I wonder if we are going in the wrong direction and our lives will end here."

The subordinates started talking one after another, and when they thought about the things in the information that Er Yuehong had described, they began to make mistakes in their hearts again.

"How can it be so easy to die?"

Zhang Qihai responded coldly, "I have told you many times that you must stay calm at all times and don't scare yourself. If you continue to ignore my words, I will no longer care about you."

At this time, Zhang Qihai was obviously a little annoyed by this group of soldiers. He suddenly felt that it would be better for his brother not to bring these soldiers with him, as it would only cause him unnecessary trouble.

At this time, the Buddha also had a cold face, and it was obvious that he thought so too.

"Little Buddha, what should we do next?"

Seeing that Zhang Qihai was getting a little angry, these people stopped making terrifying remarks and started asking Little Buddha questions.

Zhang Qihai thought for a moment, then said to Er Yuehong and Foye, "Second Master, Brother, let's split into three groups. Each of us will tie ourselves up with a steel wire, and then explore the three roads. Xiao Ba, Adjutant Zhang and others will stay where they are, holding the steel wool and waiting for us."

At this time, Lu Jianxun and his group were still discussing how to deal with Zhang Qihai and his group.

Hearing the three words Qi Tiezui, Lu Jianxun suddenly became curious about him.

"Who on earth is this Qi Tiezui? He has been following Zhang Qishan, Zhang Qihai and the others, but he doesn't look that powerful."

"He's OK."

Jude Kao said, "To put it bluntly, he is a fortune teller, but if you are interested, I can take you to his fortune-telling business."

Huo Sanniang and Chen Pi were both from the Nine Gates, so they naturally had no curiosity about Qi Tiezui, who was ranked eighth.

However, Lu Jianxun was different. He always thought that Qi Tiezui was just a gangster, but Zhang Qishan and the others seemed to care about him a lot, so he agreed with Qiu Dekao's words on the spot.

"What's the point of making money from such a small deal?"

Huo Sanniang grumbled a little dissatisfiedly, while Chen Pi just stood there with a cold face the whole time and didn't say a word.

"Why not take a look? Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. Although this old man looks like a gangster, he must be quite capable to be entrusted with such an important task by the Zhang family."

Lu Jianxun couldn't resist his curiosity after all, and persuaded several other people by himself.

Jude Kao didn't care about these things. Seeing that the others agreed, he followed Jude Kao to Xiaopankou.

“This small plate is too small.”

"I originally thought he was just a gangster, and he must be a big shot in private. I didn't expect that even this small plate is so small, and there are so few customers."

Huo Sanniang and Lu Jianxun both spoke with disgust, but Chen Pi still looked on coldly, as if he didn't want to pay any attention to them.
