Chapter 106 13. Underground Black Jade Gate

Zheng Yun picked up the map from the ancient book and looked at it. Most of Fu'en City was drawn on it, as well as the Commandery Department of the Western Region. Comparing it with the modern map and comparing the outline and position along the coastline, it turned out that it was really under their feet.

Thinking about it carefully, this possibility is quite high. The basement of my adoptive father is directly behind Jianghe Pawn Shop and can be reached through the back door.

If there is something underground, then it makes sense for the pawn shop to be opened here. The entrance is probably under the pawn shop, or in the basement.

"Look for it."

Zheng Yun immediately collected the map. This discovery was astonishing. They could verify it now.

"Is the store closed?"

Ji Dao glanced outside the door.

"No need, maybe there are only two positions. You can tell what's going on at a glance." Zheng Yun shook his head.

Ji Dao nodded.

The two immediately searched the pawn shop, squatting on the ground and tapping the floor, allowing Ji Dao to use his hearing to determine whether there was any entrance below.

Zheng Yun also brought Gui Jiu with him, who was also an expert in this field and was good at demolishing bricks on Sanyao Island.

The fairy demon also followed around, but she couldn't hear anything and could only follow Zheng Yun to join in the fun.

Everyone was busy looking around the pawn shop, Ji Dao shook his head and said there shouldn't be one.

Guijiu didn't respond either.

That can only be in the basement.

"You stay and look after the store while I take a look." Zheng Yun said to Jidao, and then hurriedly walked towards the back door.

The basement was left by his adoptive father. There was a picture of the Immortal Palace and a lot of clutter. He had to go and take a look first to know if Ji Dao could enter.

Walk out of the small courtyard at the back door.

Zheng Yun took out his key and got into the old residential building opposite. The corridor was still narrow and the basement was full of moisture. As soon as he came down, he felt chest tightness and shortness of breath.

Basement No. 306.

Zheng Yun opened the door with the key.

He had cleaned this place last time, so there wasn't much dust, but when he opened the door, there was a pile of boxes.

These things were just junk. He had read them once before. There was really nothing magical about them. The good things were the picture of the Immortal Palace and the waist badge inside.

"Move outside first."

Zheng Yun spoke to Gui Jiu and took action himself, stacking the boxes at the door and occupying half of the aisle, blocking the door like a wall.

It didn't take long.

The clutter has been cleared out.

Ask Guijiu to close the door and guard it.

Zheng Yun raised his hand and turned on the light. The basement was immediately filled with golden light. There were several vacuum display cabinets in the corner, and the small golden lights in the cabinets were dazzlingly bright.

I am afraid that I cannot see it.

After walking around the display cabinet, the one-and-a-half-meter-long picture of the Immortal Mansion and the special material waist badge engraved with the commander were all placed intact in the display cabinet.

There are some things in other display cases.

There were two strangely shaped white branches, very thin, as if they had been burned by fire, a small black metal bar, and an ordinary bowl.

They were all weird things. Zheng Yun didn't pay attention to them last time because he couldn't understand them. He still can't understand them now. He didn't know what they were all about.

But this time he knew that these objects were probably treasures, and maybe they were all related to the mysticism of gods and ghosts, the kind that should not be touched lightly.

Take a photo for Ji Dao to see.

Maybe he knew what it was.

Looking around, he saw that the middle of the basement had been emptied. Zheng Yun knocked on the floor and searched bit by bit until he reached the bottom of the display cabinet.

Boom, boom, boom.

It seems really empty.

Zheng Yun didn't know what to say. His adoptive father didn't say a word before his death, and his family wasn't very rich.

And he is not the kind of prodigal son who digs things around at home. When he encounters a problem, he goes directly to sea. It makes him want to break his head, but he never thought that such a thing could happen.

Remember carefully.

His adoptive father just gave him the black jade pillow without even a hint. He told himself those mythical stories since he was a child, half-ridiculing and half-telling.

His ancestors had to float back from outer space to collect paper money. Zheng Yun will never forget this sentence in his life.

"well."

Zheng Yun sighed softly and began to search around to see if there was any mechanism.

Searched carefully.

Zheng Yun found a not-so-obvious gap under the display cabinet and subconsciously reached out to press it.

Dust stirred.

There was a crisp sound.

It is an iron door the same color as cement.

Zheng Yun was silent again, sweeping the floor and unwilling to sweep the bottom of the cabinet. This was a long-standing problem in the Lao Jiang family. Previously, the dust in the corner of the pawn shop cabinet was an inch thick.

My adoptive father never sweeps.

I didn’t scan it last time either…

But it is obvious that there is very little dust in this area, much less than in other places.

That’s it.

Zheng Yun stood up and pushed open the display cabinet.

An iron door one meter long and two meters wide appeared, and there was even a pair of iron handrails on the side against the wall.

Open the iron door.

A straight ladder appears below.

It was like a dark well in ancient times. There was a cold air escaping upwards from inside, and it was pitch black and scary.

"You get off first."

Zheng Yun called Gui Jiu. Although it was his own place, he decided to be cautious.

Guijiu naturally would not refuse. He walked to the entrance of the cave, took a look, took a step forward, and his body was directly suspended in the air. He actually fell into it.

Watching it sink into the well and disappear into the darkness at an extremely fast speed, Zheng Yun's eyelids twitched, he took out his cell phone and turned on the flashlight to take a look.

This well is three to four meters deep.

Gui Jiu stood below, not reacting much, and even raised his head and smiled to himself. There should be no danger.

So Zheng Yun also held the ladder and went down. After a while, he stepped on the ground. He raised his head and looked around. It was a corridor built with green bricks.

There are steps going down at the back.

The two walked down the steps, which were very narrow at first. After walking two flights of steps, after descending more than ten meters, a underground hall suddenly appeared in front of them.

Nothing.

But there is a groove in the wall.

Zheng Yun knew at a glance that this groove was for the waist badge, and it was similar in size to the commander's waist badge.

He immediately returned the same way, went to the basement, opened the display cabinet, and took out the waist badge.

It took a few minutes to go back and forth.

Zheng Yun stuffed the waistband into the groove, pushed it forward tightly, and then he actually pushed the wall away.

Just literally push away.

He pushed an entire wall inward for three meters, and another downhill corridor appeared at his feet.

"It's really complicated."

Zheng Yun gritted his teeth and continued down. Not long after walking this time, there was a sound of rushing water in front of him.

This is an underground hall.

It is very similar to the decoration of the secret realm, but the area is not large and empty with nothing.

There is a clear pool in the center, where many springs gather. There is a black jade gate in the water, which is blocked by a mechanism and is not completely immersed in the water.

Nomadou really got it right.

This place is really connected to the secret realm.

Judging from the size of this black jade door, it should be the small black jade door around the second section of the hall.

Remember carefully.

There are ten such small black jade gates in the secret realm, arranged on the left and right sides of the long and narrow jade table.

"It seems that the black jade gates in the second section of the secret realm lead to the capitals of various places. This place is so narrow and winding that only the commander of the capitals should know about it."

"It can be speculated that the secret realm of Jianxiansi should be superior to Haiwei and Dusi."

"Not only that."

"Even the Ming Dynasty probably doesn't know about this, and I haven't seen them use it during confrontation."

"Has the Immortal Supervisor already had a counter-intention?"

Zheng Yun sighed, stretched out his hand to turn on the mechanism, and directed the water around the base of the black jade door.

But no response.

The black jade door is two-way. It is useless to open only this side. You have to open the door to the secret realm as well.

In this case, let it open all the black jade doors in the second section of the secret realm.
