Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder's Record of Counterattacks Chapter 2156

Chapter 2156: Felt Chilled Down to the Bone
Ning Shu was a woman and her identity was quite inconvenient within the procession. Yet despite the possibility that she would end up dragging the group’s hind legs, Gu Rui still agreed to take her.
Although she hadn’t known Gu Rui for long, she understood that he was a calculating person who carefully considered everything he did.
Since he agreed to let her go with him, she must have some use.
Ning Shu couldn’t think of what use she would have.
The procession eventually stopped in a small town.
The merchandise was delivered to a small pharmacy.
The group stayed at an inn.
There was light snow falling and it was very cold. Even though Ning Shu’s dantian was full of energy and she was wearing a lot of layers, she felt chilled down to the bone.
Ning Shu sat on a stool while grasping a cup of tea. She asked Gu Rui, “Have we reached our destination yet?”
“We have,” Gu Rui said.
Ning Shu was quite curious about how Gu Rui was able to read the map.
“It’s somewhere around here?” Ning Shu asked.
Gu Rui nodded.
“It’s finally here. The day I dominate the martial arts circles is not far away.” Mo Juechen stretched his neck. His eyes were full of eagerness and desire.
“It’ll probably be the sunflower manual,” Ning Shu said to Mo Juechen.
“The sunflower manual?”
“To obtain the root of power, you must first give up your original root.”
“Damn fatty, I don’t want to talk to you.” Mo Juechen looked away.
“We are still waiting for one more person,” Gu Rui said while sipping his tea.
“Gu Rui, you’re sure this person is not here to fight with me over the secret manual?” Mo Juechen stared at Gu Rui.
“The things you desire are not worth mentioning in others’ eyes.”
Mo Juechen’s expression sank. “That’s because you don’t know the power of strength and my determination to pursue it.”
“If a person like you became strong, it’d only bring disaster,” Gu Rui said indifferently.
“The disasters I cause are only the power of one person. People like you harm even more people than me,” Mo Juechen retorted.
Ning Shu rolled her eyes. Neither of the two men were good people.
As they spoke, a Taoist priest entered the inn and walked to the group of three. He held a ragged cloth canvas on which the words, ‘precise and accurate predictions,’ were written.
“Young Master Gu, this humble Taoist greets you,” The Taoist priest said to Gu Rui with a flick of his horsetail whisk.
Gu Rui stood up. “Long time no see.”
Gu Rui introduced the Taoist priest. “This is Taoist Cheng Mingzi.”
“Why do we need a Taoist priest?” Mo Juechen looked Cheng Mingzi up and down before looking away.
Ning Shu also observed Cheng Mingzi and felt that he shared the same profession as her.
She’d felt this same feeling from Old Man Tao.
This old man’s role was probably to find the tomb.
“Taoist Cheng will guide us to the tomb,” Gu Rui said.
Sure enough, Taoist priests could not only eliminate ghosts but also locate things.
“I hope it works. Don’t drag the team down when the time comes,” Mo Juechen said condescendingly.
Cheng Mingzi stroked his beard, “The young master doesn’t need to worry about this humble Taoist.”
“This humble Taoist would like to give some advice to the young master. Your yintang acupoint is black and you should be careful when you visit the tomb,” Cheng Mingzi said calmly.
“You must be joking. I have survived a mountain of swords and flames. Why should I be wary of a small tomb?” Mo Juechen sneered. He didn’t take Cheng Mingzi’s words to heart at all.
