Tomb Raider: The man is in the Nine Gates, but the system insists it's the Primordial Era.

simply put.

That is when the divine strike technique is used.

One must keep the divine in mind, not deceive oneself in secret, maintain a pure and sincere thought, absorb the pure energy of heaven and earth into the body, eliminate turbid energy, utter incantations from the mouth, be familiar with the hand seals, avoid the taboos of the gods, and make the hand seals without the slightest error.

Having the ability to remember everything he saw, Su Mu finished reading it, then closed his eyes and tried it out.

"Duh!"

Su Mu opened his eyes again.

Divine power descended from the heavens and flowed into the Baihui acupoint, which Su Mu already knew about, and then...

"That's it?"

He felt some kind of divine power descend from the sky, pouring into the Baihui point on the top of his head and then dissipating from the Yongquan point on the soles of his feet.

It only traveled through his body once before disappearing back into the world.

The gods won't grant me divine power!

wrong.

It's not that we don't offer divine protection.

Instead,

The highest achievement of these three traitors from Heaven, as recorded in the book, was no more than the position of protector of the Buddhist Heaven.

What was Heavenly Buddhism in the ancient, primitive era?

He was a little brat who was beaten to a pulp by the demon court of the primitive and witch tribes who fought against each other.

If the conflict between the Lich King and the Demon King had not led to the rapid decline of both races and the extinction of their bloodlines, how could the later situation of the three powers of Heaven, Buddhism, and Taoism have arisen?

Therefore, it's not that the gods in the dark didn't give him the ability to summon spirits and become a medium.

Rather, it's something they simply can't provide.

How can descendants of the Pangu bloodline invite so-called deities to enter their bodies and perform miracles?

The thought swirled in my mind.

Su Mu understood the reasoning in a very short time.

"But that's fine too. It can be used by my men. Otherwise, if we really encounter a fatal danger, I'll be all alone."

Su Mu put away the book and shook his head to himself.

He forgot the last sentence in the book of Divine Strike Techniques: "If you believe, it exists; if you don't believe, it doesn't."

These three saints were extremely rare among believers during the Republican era, unlike those who would appear in the near future.

Su Mu continued to gaze out the window.

Not just Beiping.

After returning, he should also explore the city of Changsha again.

What if he discovers something good again?

It was worth the two days and one night of travel.

I gained a lot as soon as I got off the bus.

Beiping is indeed a good place.

"Are you all friends of Master Peng? I am Liu Zaize of the Liu family in Beiping, and I live under the Yi family at the New Moon Hotel. Master Peng will be received by Boss Yi in a while, so you may have to wait. Why don't you come to my Liu family and wait for a while? The head of the family is very eager to make more friends with chivalrous heroes."

The man driving the car glanced at the rearview mirror, his gaze unconsciously falling on Su Mu.

Peng Sanbian and Yi Xinyue are engaged.

They've come here to discuss their future marriage and wedding arrangements.

"Although my Liu family is not as famous as Boss Yi's family in Beiping, we still have some status. People in the underworld give us face and respectfully call our five families 'Mingyan Meihua'. Among them, my Liu family corresponds to the Red Gate, and we have some knowledge of calligraphy, painting and rubbings."

The man driving the car must have been reminded by his family.

Peng Sanbian may become the new owner of the Crescent Moon Hotel in the future, because the Yi family only has one daughter.

Then, Peng Sanbian's men will move into Beiping and take over the Xinyu Hotel.

Therefore, the friends that Peng Sanbian brought this time will definitely be high-ranking and powerful figures.

It's better to be on good terms now than to be cold and insincere later.

"What plum blossom?"

"A discerning plum blossom."

"Holy crap!"

Su Mu let out a strange cry.

Suddenly, something came to mind.

"The five families of the 'Clear-Eyed Plum Blossom Clan'? Xu of the White Gate, Yao of the Mysterious Gate, Liu of the Red Gate, Shen of the Green Gate, and Huang of the Yellow Gate?"

"White Gate: Gold and jade artifacts, silver and goldware; Black Gate: Porcelain; Red Gate: Calligraphy and paintings; Green Gate: Wooden furniture; Yellow Gate: Bronze funerary objects?"

"..."

The man driving the car gave Su Mu another strange look, then smiled and said:

"This gentleman is quite knowledgeable. He figured out the industry skills of each of my five families even before he arrived. That's right, it's exactly my five families."

Qi Tiezui and Huo Xian'er both turned their heads and looked at Su Mu in surprise.

They have no idea about these things.

Even Zhang Qishan didn't have the ability to be so far away in Changsha as to understand the underworld forces, industry trends, and various family factions in Beiping.

"Oh, there's one more."

Su Mu flipped through his memories of his past life and blurted out.

Swish!

The man's hand trembled, and he almost drove the car into the crowd.

"You idiot! Don't you have eyes?"

"Stop yelling like that! Watch out, you might bump into me and get hurt. Can you afford to pay for it?"

"Look at you, what's wrong with you? You think you're so great just because you own a car!"

"..."

I could hear the crowd cursing.

The man quickly turned the steering wheel, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and drove the car back to its original position.

"What did you just say?"

The man tried to calm himself down, his expression strange.

Indeed, there are more than just these five families among the plum blossom experts; there is another lineage.

However, that lineage almost caused the five families to be wiped out in the long river of history because it broke many rules.

The five families spent a great deal of effort to suppress the matter of that lineage, and never mentioned it to outsiders again, and have been trying to erase any trace of its existence.

This must have happened a hundred years ago, and the younger generation of the five families would not know about it.

How could someone from the Northwest discover something so secretive?

That was no longer just simple information gathering; it was preparation for the future conquest of the Five Gates!

There are indeed six.

After reviewing his memories of his past life, Su Mu confirmed the news.

The moment the words "bright-eyed plum blossom" were uttered, Su Mu knew them all too well.

In his past life, during his spare time after get off work, he preferred watching various TV shows, movies, and reading novels, rather than going out in the evenings and on weekends.

I've read all the tomb raiding novels and watched all the TV series.

None of the related cases were spared either.

I remember in a previous life there was a TV series called "Mystery of Antiques" that featured these five families, also known as the "Mingyan Plum Blossoms".

Furthermore, the current timeframe and context seem quite mild.

And so.

Su Mu remembered this incident when the other party introduced themselves.

Then, Su Mu casually revealed the hidden secrets within the five families.

Su Mu didn't intentionally mention the other branch that made the five families uneasy; he just thought of it and said it so simply.

Su Mu's casual remark stirred up a storm in the man's heart.

The last company to be removed from the list was notorious for its shady business of counterfeiting antiques and collectibles, and was looked down upon by many of its peers for violating industry rules.

If someone can find the other company whose traces they erased, they can indirectly plunge the five companies, which have already risen to fame, back into a trough.

In the antique and collectibles business, reputation is paramount.

The better the reputation, the more customers you get.

The reason why the powerful Crescent Hotel in Beiping accepted the five families of the Mingyan Plum Blossom as offerings and reverence was precisely this.

"Where? Where is the sixth company? It's always been the five of us. What nonsense are you talking about?"

The man had a stern face, but cold sweat still streamed down his forehead.

Su Mu, unaware of the other's thoughts, simply stroked his chin in confusion and asked, "Shouldn't there also be the old Master Zi Men?"

Call ~

The man driving the car slowly exhaled a breath of stale air; his hands were no longer trembling, and his legs were no longer weak.

Because, it's over...
