Chapter 241 11. Identification of a batch of ghost tools

"So the ghost shadow you saw at that time was this kind of white algae?" Zhai Mo turned to look at the young security guard.

"This kind of algae removal is thorough, but it is also very time-consuming. Calculating the time, the date we originally planted the algae was three weeks before the haunting incident." The person in charge did not wait for the young security guard to speak, then took over and confirmed. .

"That can only answer one question, as well as earthquakes, water well outages, and human voices." Zhai Mo continued to ask.

Zheng Yun looked at the bottom of the well.

After giving a false alarm, Jidao turned around and pulled off the algae from his body, then threw it back into the well with a loud murmur:

"I thought it was something."

"This algae is really evil."

Although he was startled, Ji Dao remained calm and hesitant. It was not that he had lost his identity. After all, he had just come out of a dangerous place, so it was normal to be alert like this.

"Come up."

Zheng Yun nodded to Jidao.

This kind of algae also has some uses. Maybe they can buy some, but this time they have to let Ji Dao wash it thoroughly.

If you accidentally bring this kind of algae-eating white algae back to the Heavenly Palace, and accidentally get it into the Dead Pond and eat all the green ghost algae, even the ghostly figurines will have to suffer for several days.

"Have there been any recent earthquake records in Blessing?"

The person in charge took out his cell phone and checked.

After the false alarm from the ghost shadow, they had a new view on the haunting incident. They began to question the haunting theory and tried to analyze it from other angles, while also minimizing the big issue.

"Did you find anything? It's this hall at the back." Zheng Yunla came up and asked in a low voice in his ear.

"This is the palace. The underground structure is a little complicated, but the water is clear, but it is also dead..."

Ji Dao shook his head and nodded.

"Um."

Zheng Yun understood what Jidao meant.

The fairy door needs water to open, and the black jade door underground of the museum also sits in the pool. If you want to divert water into the pool, there must be a channel connecting the well, and there must be a water inlet.

Follow this water inlet.

You can manage to get into the sewer.

Ji Dao has already understood this part of the structure and the water channel. However, the sewers of the entire museum are blocked. The water is stagnant and cannot get out even if it enters the sewers.

It's easy to solve.

Just try to find a way to get out, but it looks a bit embarrassing. The Supervisor has to crawl out of the sewer.

"Are we still going to catch him?"

Ji Dao looked at the people at the well. They were looking for earthquake records and whether there was any construction work nearby.

Unexpectedly, this Zhai Mo turned out to be quite professional and serious. Looking at their posture and attitude, if there is no explanation, I'm afraid it will take some time to investigate.

They had prepared some tricks before they came. It was not difficult to put on a good ghost-catching show, but they were afraid that it would backfire and make things worse, and that it would be difficult to finish.

"Let's see."

Zheng Yun walked towards Zhai Mo and others.

The young security guard was being questioned by the person in charge and Zhai Mo at the same time. After seeing Bai Zao's incident with his own eyes, his statement was shaken again, and he gradually swung to the other side in the question and answer session.

"This is probably what I saw at the time. The well was out of water, probably because the algae had blocked the waterway, and the human voice was probably coming from outside." The young security guard wiped his sweat and said.

In fact, most of what he saw was true, but under pressure and hints, he began to doubt what he saw at the time.

"What do you two think?"

Zhai Mo asked when he saw Zheng Yun approaching.

"No problem has been found. This kind of misunderstanding is relatively common. Young people stay up late and hurt their bodies. Although the work is hard, they should get more rest, at least get enough sleep during the day."

Zheng Yun calmed down and shook his head, which seemed to give the matter a personality. He also expressed some concern for the young security guard, and then said to Zhai Mo: "He is very responsible, there is no need to blame him."

"Won't."

Zhai Mo shook his head.

"It seems it was all a misunderstanding. After searching for a long time, we only found the clean white algae we put down. This kind of algae is really scary. This Taoist guy was shocked. Ordinary people I must have misunderstood you."

The person in charge took advantage of the situation and found a way to make up for it.

Their purpose this time was to find ghosts, and they finally found a white algae that looked like sheepskin, which was an explanation.

"Is it really okay?"

Zhai Mo still looked at Zheng Yun.

He may be the only one among everyone present who still has doubts and hopes to continue investigating.

Haunting is not a trivial matter, and if there is a real problem, then this hidden danger may cause security personnel to be harmed.

"No problem. The hidden danger now should be the cultural relics whose origins cannot be determined as you just mentioned. We don't know where those things are, so it's not convenient for us to take a look."

Zheng Yun changed the topic.

"This is a small matter. You need to submit an application to the superiors. Just say hello." Zhai Mo nodded and looked at Ji Dao with a smile: "It seems that there is no chance to see a ghost this time."

"Are you quite disappointed?"

Ji Dao also smiled and answered.

Even if they got to know each other this time, they might have a chance to meet again in the future. Whether there are ghosts in the world or not, maybe next time, Zhai Mo will get the answer himself.

"Haha, that's not true." Zhai Mo shook his head and took out his phone and started to apply for relevant permissions from his superiors.

It's not hard to tell from his phone call.

It is true that the origin of those cultural relics cannot be confirmed, but most of them are weird and ordinary utensils. They are stored in the cultural relics storage room, and entry and exit must obtain permission from the Cultural Relics Bureau.

It's quite strict.

After a few words, Zhai Mo put down his phone and told Zheng Yun to wait, and his superiors would have to ask for instructions again.

Zheng Yun nodded.

This request may be a bit excessive. After all, it was in the middle of the night, and I had to call everyone to report.

But this is exactly an explanation given to Mr. Xu.

It is impossible for Jianghe Pawn Shop to come to the museum to catch a ghost for no reason, and in the end he only caught a sheepskin. If he left without doing anything, he might be able to fool Zhai Mo, but he would definitely not be able to fool Mr. Xu. .

Mr. Xu will definitely doubt the motive.

Will even continue to pursue the matter.

Rather than making him suspicious, it is better to give him a reason. He came to the museum this time just for the cultural relics of the Commander's Office, and for a certain purpose.

This time it makes more sense.

The scope of suspicion was instantly narrowed, and the target was directed at those cultural relics that were more suspicious. Catching ghosts was just an excuse to get closer to those cultural relics. Let Mr. Xu figure out which cultural relic it was.

Waited for a while.

Zhai Mo received a reply and his superiors agreed that they should go and have a look. The key to the storage room was in the security office.

The person in charge nodded and went back to get the key. Zhai Mo took Zheng Yunjidao to a closed warehouse in the deepest part of the museum and gave a general introduction to the storage room.

The Imperial Palace is well-preserved, with a total of more than 70,000 pieces of cultural relics, large and small. Those that are OK are protected in glass display cases in situ, while those that cannot be accommodated and the more bizarre ones are stored in storage rooms, with the number approaching 40,000. .

A large number of cultural relics are duplicated, as well as things of low value and no exhibition significance. There are actually only over a thousand cultural relics whose origin and provenance have not been confirmed.

This number surprised Zheng Yun.

He knew that the Commander-in-Chief's Office must be extraordinary, but he did not expect that there were so many items that even the Cultural Relics Bureau was unsure of. More than a thousand items were enough to fill a warehouse.

"pity."

Ji Dao murmured in a low voice.

The Ming Dynasty Dusi of this level had a large population and property under its control, and its wealth was beyond ordinary people's imagination. The entire Dusi was operating at full strength, and its power was astonishing.

This kind of capital can be understood as a country. It belongs to the Ming Dynasty, but it may be richer than the capital.

Not to mention this kind of Dusi.

Any one will do.

As long as Jianxiansi can take over the entire Dusi Mansion, he will immediately make a fortune. The gold and silver treasures alone are enough for Jianxiansi to develop vigorously, not to mention that Dusi also has a reserve of magical means.

"This kind of storage room is strictly guarded. You need to be searched before entering, and the items in your backpack must be counted and recorded, or you may leave them at the door without taking them in. I hope you understand." Zhai Mo introduced it to Zheng Yun in advance.

"Understandable."

Zheng Yun nodded.

Soon everyone walked to the storage room, which was a large black warehouse built under the city wall. It was two stories high and the surrounding security was very tight.

The length of the warehouse is probably several hundred meters.

Darkness stands in the corner of the city wall.

The person in charge took out the electronic key, opened the warehouse door a crack, led everyone in and turned on the lights.

Two rows of chandeliers lit up simultaneously.

Iron racks for storing cultural relics are neatly arranged inside the warehouse. Each iron rack is placed from the north to the south. You can see the end of the warehouse at a glance, and the view is extremely broad.

These iron racks are four meters high. Each cultural relic is in a dry environment and adapted to the temperature. They are marked with various blue and white labels, which look very professional.

The security inspection room is on the left hand side of the warehouse door.

Zheng Yun chose to put his backpack in the cabinet in the storage room and did not let security check the items because the black jade pillow looked weird and it would not be a good thing to leave a record.

Arriving at the site of the Cultural Relics Bureau.

It is impossible to lose something.

Moreover, the cabinets in the storage room have locks and are located inside the warehouse. They can see the storage room at any time.

"That's a lot."

This was the first time Ji Dao saw such a scene. A large number of cultural relics were neatly arranged, and the aisle hundreds of meters long could be seen at a glance.

"Storage in this way facilitates supervision. There is no blind spot in the line of sight. Any abnormality can be seen at first glance."

Zhai Mo raised his hand and pointed to the top of his head. Not only did the aisle go straight to the end, but there were also a large number of cameras on the top of the warehouse.

The arrangement is comparable to a prison.

What he said is right, it is impossible for anyone to steal anything from here, as long as someone does it, they will be discovered.

"The cultural relics related to the commander are in Area C3. Shall we go directly to have a look?" The person in charge followed them and called two more security personnel at the same time.

Not only Zheng Yun and Jidao, but also Zhai Mo had an 'exclusive tour guide' following him closely.

People in the Cultural Relics Bureau are not immune to this. The Security Department doesn't want to lose their jobs, and they have to find someone to keep an eye on Xu Yu when he comes.

"good."

Zheng Yun nodded again. Seeing such strict rules, he felt relieved and felt much more at ease.

The Cultural Heritage Bureau is indeed responsible.

Observing the details of the warehouse carefully, the doors and windows are all sealed, and the steel plates on the walls are very thick. It is by no means a simple temporary warehouse, and the underground may even be sealed.

This is not a sealed cultural relic.

The Cultural Relics Bureau is basically ready to seal away the ghosts and ghosts, so that even if the Han Immortal comes, it will be difficult for them to escape.

After all, it is a complete capital commander's office. Such an important place should have such preparations. If Zheng Yun is allowed to prepare, he may do it more rigorously than the Cultural Relics Bureau.

Several people walked along the aisle to the depths.

The four-meter-high cultural relic racks on the left and right are divided into six to ten levels, and you will pass dozens of cultural relics every step you take.

Zheng Yun and Jidao looked around. The first few areas were all filled with bottles and jars from the mansion. There were hundreds of large Ming blue and white porcelain vases with the same picture.

The things that Zheng Yun couldn't put down at the beginning were completely trashed in the storage room of the Cultural Relics Bureau. They were all in good shape and almost perfect. Taken alone, they would amaze ordinary people.

But put it all together.

It's like a morning market stall selling hot pots.

The halo of these large blue and white porcelain vases has completely disappeared, making people unable to even think of stopping and taking a closer look.

As we walked deeper, the situation changed.

From the porcelain area to the gold and silver jewelry area, a dazzling array of rare treasures appeared one after another, but it was still a batch of hundreds of pieces, and black pearls as big as longans were packed in iron barrels.

Zheng Yun felt a little numb.

Ji Dao is okay. There are a lot of these things, but they are not particularly rare. The real good things are all in the museum display cabinets. These are common goods left after being screened.

It can't compare to the Heavenly Palace.

After all, the Tiangong has an attic courtyard reserved for the royal family members. The furnishings and arrangements there are still a few grades higher than the Dusi Mansion. After all, the Dusi from all over the country have to pay tribute to the emperor, which was screened out hundreds of years ago. Again.

Keep going deeper.

Passing through the jade and copper and iron areas, they entered the deepest part of the warehouse. The things here were completely different.

"The origins of the cultural relics in this area have not been confirmed. Those in the front right are the items belonging to the commander." The person in charge gave a general introduction, and then slowed down to let Zheng Yun check it out on his own.

Someone next to me handed over white gloves.

Zheng Yun stopped casually in front of a cultural relic shelf and observed the cultural relics on it and the detailed labels under the cultural relics:

Placed in the commander's bedroom are rotten black tiles of unknown origin; hidden in the corners of the beams are brown fragments of unknown material; thin bronze strips with cloud patterns of unknown purpose; inserted in a porcelain vase in the study, is a colorful tail feather of an unknown bird.

Move your eyes upward.

The purpose is unknown, the source is unknown, and the material is unknown. Qinghe jade ornaments and masks with human faces and animal bodies and cloud patterns.

"..., take a look."

Zheng Yun took a step back to let Ji Dao come.

These things are really weird and weird. Looking at the words on the labels, it seems that everything has some ghosts and ghosts. For example, why is that black tile placed in the bedroom?

Put tiles in the bedroom.

It's obvious there is a problem.

And half of the tiles are rotten.

Unless this tile belongs to the ancestral residence of the commander, or was given by the emperor, there is no reason to put it in the bedroom.

There is a specialization in the art, but for someone like Ji Dao who has been reading about the records of gods and ghosts since childhood, it is really a black eye for him. He really doesn't have the accumulation, and it is difficult to make up for it.

He didn't have time to go to Tiangong to read twenty-year-old books.

We can only rely on 'Tiangong masters' like Ji Dao to take action.

"This puzzle is much more exciting than taking a photo. Even I have never seen such bird tail feathers, but it seems to be..."

Ji Dao murmured and stared at the items on the cultural relic shelf, looking at each item extremely carefully.

It is indeed more exciting than taking a group photo.

These are all real objects, belonging to the commander and those not belonging to the commander. There are thousands of pieces in total. They are all mysteries that the Cultural Relics Bureau cannot solve. They are enough for him to spend two months here.

"What does it seem like?"

Zhai Mo's eyelids twitched and he quickly asked. The storage room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and you could definitely hear Ji Dao's murmur.

You must know that these things have been in the storage room since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The Cultural Relics Bureau has not found out the results for so many years. As a result, Ji Dao recognized something as soon as he saw it.

"Master Yun, can you tell me?"

Ji Dao turned to look at Zheng Yun and asked.

"You can do that if you think you can."

Zheng Yun's scalp was slightly numb and he was a little embarrassed. Jian Xiansi's rules for his peers to call themselves masters were all introduced by Ji Dao.

"This thing isn't the tail feathers of a bird at all. Isn't it monkey hair? Do you know about the mysterious monkey with colorful feathers in Chapter 12 of Volume 37 of Monster Blog?"

"Look at the black ends of the feathers. This kind of monkey has wings and can fly. This feather is from the monkey's wing."

Ji Dao glanced at Zhai Mo and gave the answer.

"It's actually monkey hair?"

The person in charge was shocked. Although he was the person in charge of security, he was also very interested in cultural relics.

"What is Monster Hiroshi?"

Zhai Mo was also shocked. Why did Jidao say a name from an ancient book that they had never heard of.

"..."

Zheng Yun was silent for a moment.

Ji Dao is well-read, and he can definitely stand out in a place like this. He would have no problem becoming a consultant to the Cultural Relics Bureau, but he still told him to stop talking. If he continued, he would be in trouble.
