Chapter 358 Inspection!

"You have already checked the key, do you have any questions?"

Chen Yun did not answer directly, but spoke lightly, his tone was neither cold nor hot.

There was a hint of calmness and dignity in his eyes, and he didn't want to reveal too much of his situation.

I just hope that the innkeeper can follow my requirements and cooperate with me to complete the next things.

"It's alright. Since the young master was able to find me and has this key, my identity is certainly true. It's just that..."

The boss subconsciously looked back at the concubine behind him, a look of worry on his face.

After all, what they were going to discuss next might involve some secrets, and he was worried that it would implicate his family, so he was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should continue.

"Don't worry. Before I woke you up, I had already cast a spell to make her unconscious. Even if you yell in her ear, she won't be able to hear anything."

Chen Yun's eyes flashed, but his expression remained unchanged as he said that he had already considered this.

So we made preparations in advance to avoid any unexpected situations caused by the innkeeper's family.

It will affect my plans. After all, it is better to be cautious when it comes to such confidential matters.

"That's good. The master hasn't contacted me for several years. I'm just a mortal, and I don't know what happened."

"I dare not ask around, for fear of attracting the attention of other monks."

"Now that the young master has come with the key, I am finally relieved. If I hadn't heard from the master that the young master would look different next time, I wouldn't have dared to recognize him casually."

The innkeeper said honestly, with a hint of helplessness and relief in his words.

The helpless thing is that I have been living in fear for so many years and know nothing about the situation of my family.

Fortunately, Chen Yun has finally arrived. Perhaps I can learn some news about the family, and I can also complete what I should do according to the instructions of the head of the family.

"Something did happen to the Feng family, so I need to open the secret cave this time and take some things out. The address of the secret cave should be known to the head of the family, and there should be a backup map saved with you. Give it to me!"

Chen Yun didn't hesitate and said in a commanding tone that what he was most concerned about now was to get the address of the secret cave.

Then I will try to get something useful from it, so I don’t want to exchange too much small talk.

He directly stated his purpose and request, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes, hoping that the innkeeper would cooperate with him as soon as possible.

"Yes! Since you have the key to the secret cave, you are naturally qualified to open it. Please wait a moment!"

The innkeeper said without any doubt that he was completely convinced of Chen Yun's identity.

And since Chen Yun has the key to the secret cave, according to the rules, he is naturally qualified to open the secret cave.

So he agreed without hesitation, and then hurriedly put on some clothes.

He took Chen Yun out of the house and went straight to the backyard of the inn, his steps were hurried.

It can be seen that he also wanted to help Chen Yun get this done as soon as possible so that Chen Yun could get what he needed smoothly.

As a result, the innkeeper found an iron hoe and dug it up at the base of an inconspicuous corner of the wall in the backyard.

Then he carefully groped with both hands and pulled out a seemingly ordinary blue brick.

Then he wiped the sweat off his forehead and turned around, although his movements were a bit clumsy.

But he exuded a sense of seriousness. After all, this blue brick was related to the address of the secret cave, and there couldn't be any mistakes.

"The address of the secret cave is sealed in this thing. There are restrictions on it. This old servant cannot open it, and has never seen it with his own eyes. Young Master should have a way!"

The old man handed the blue brick to Chen Yun and said hesitantly that although he knew that Chen Yun was of extraordinary status.

But he really had no power to break the restriction on the blue brick, so he was still a little worried whether Chen Yun could open it successfully.

If it can’t be opened, it will be troublesome and I don’t know what to do.

So a look of hesitation appeared on his face, and he looked at Chen Yun, waiting for his response.

Chen Yun held up the brick with one hand, raising it slightly so that he could look at it again carefully, and extended a finger with the other hand.

A green light flashed at the fingertips, shining with a mysterious glow, and then gently tapped on the brick surface.

The movement was very cautious, as if this slight touch had great significance.

Suddenly, a layer of white hazy light spread out like ripples, and the light flickered with a soft luster.

It spread out in circles all around, looking quite magical, as if the endless mysterious power contained in the blue bricks was slowly being awakened.

Chen Yun smiled and nodded slightly. He knew what was going on.

It seems that this blue brick is indeed not an ordinary object, just as Feng Zhen said.

I am also looking forward to the next exploration.

According to Feng Zhen, this blue brick is not an ordinary thing, but a magical tool similar to a storage bag.

However, it has special requirements for opening, and must be opened with a set of special spells.

Otherwise, if you use brute force to open it, the things inside will immediately turn to ashes, which would be a pity.

Chen Yun naturally got the mantra from Feng Zhen before his death, and a low spell came out of his mouth.

The spell sounded low and mysterious, as if carrying some special rhythm, and then he opened his mouth.

A ball of green light with flashing runes spurted out and hit the green bricks.

It covered it precisely, and when the green light came into contact with the green bricks, it seemed as if some kind of resonance occurred between the two.

Then Chen Yun made a gesture with one hand, and his fingers moved quickly, tapping the four corners of the brick with his fingers.

As he moved, a soft "bang" sound was heard.

A round hole appeared on the surface of the blue brick. It was dark and looked extremely deep.

It seems to lead to some unknown mysterious space, making people want to explore it.

Chen Yun did not reach in rashly. He was well aware of the possible dangers. He was always cautious in doing things, so he chose to pat the bottom of the blue brick first.

With this shot, the rays of light suddenly shook, and the colorful rays of light were very beautiful.

Immediately afterwards, two objects flew out of the hole on their own, as if they were pushed out by the glow of light.

One is a jade slip several inches in size. It looks crystal clear and emits a faint luster. You can tell at a glance that it may contain important information.

There was also a stack of documents that looked like account books, which were neatly bundled together. It made people curious about what was recorded inside.

Chen Yun scooped up the two things with one hand with great ease.

He first looked at the two things, wondering where to start checking first.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to start with the jade slip.

After putting away the blue bricks, Chen Yun didn't even look at the stack of documents. Instead, he grabbed the jade slip first and immersed his consciousness in it. He closed his eyes and concentrated.

Trying to explore the information contained in the jade slip, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

There was only the sound of Chen Yun's steady breathing, as if the whole world only contained him and this jade slip.

Before long, Chen Yun's expression became strange and his face gradually became gloomy.

A complicated expression appeared on the originally calm face, and his brows were slightly wrinkled, as if he had seen something that made him very embarrassed.

"Why, there is no address of the Feng family's secret cave in it?"

When Lord Dayan saw Chen Yun like this, he couldn't help but ask, he was very curious.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Logically speaking, this jade slip should be related to the Feng family secret cave. Why did Chen Yun have this expression after reading it? So he couldn't help but ask.

"No. There is indeed a secret cave address inside, and it is clearly marked."

Chen Yun let out a long sigh, and after withdrawing his consciousness from the jade slip, he spoke slowly, but his brows were still frowned, and he seemed to be still worried about the matter of the secret cave.

"Then why do you look so troubled? Is there still some danger in the secret cave?"

This man is indeed an old monster who has lived for nearly ten thousand years. After a little thought, he immediately guessed some of the truth.

He looked at Chen Yun's expression and combined it with his past experience. He suddenly felt that this matter was not that simple. There must be some hidden dangers in the secret cave.

"Maybe we'll run into some trouble, right? This Feng family secret cave is actually built deep in the Xueling Mountains."

Chen Yun sighed lightly and said with a hint of helplessness on his face. He thought to himself that the Xueling Mountains were not a simple place.

Monks often go missing in there. Since this secret cave was built there, going in to look for something would definitely be quite risky.

But now that we have come this far, we can’t give up easily.

"Why did the Feng family build the secret cave there? Don't they know that there are some strange things in this mountain range and that monks often go missing?"

Lord Dayan was also somewhat surprised. He really couldn't understand what the ancestors of the Feng family were thinking.

Why would they choose such an important secret cave in such a dangerous place? This would only bring trouble to themselves.

"Who knows? Maybe the ancestor of the Feng family who chose the address thought that the more dangerous the place, the safer it would be."

Chen Yun grinned and could only guess like this. He actually had no idea.

I just thought it might be due to safety considerations, thinking that the more dangerous the place, the harder it would be for others to find it, but I didn't expect that it would create a problem for me now.

"Since the Feng family has been using this secret cave, it means that this place should not be dangerous. There is no need to worry too much."

Lord Dayan said slowly. He tried to comfort Chen Yun, thinking that the Feng family had been able to use it normally for so many years.

That means it should be relatively safe and there is no need to worry too much.

"I hope so! We already have the map, we can't give up just because of this unknown risk. If everything goes well, we will be able to find this secret cave in a day."

Chen Yun said this with a self-deprecating smile.

He knew in his heart that he had no choice but to go ahead with it.

After all, in order to find the Buddhist technique that can remove the evil spirit from one's body, this secret cave must be explored.

Then Chen Yun put away the jade slip, picked up the bundle of documents and flipped through them slightly. As he flipped through them, he let out a light exclamation and a look of surprise appeared on his face, as if he had discovered something unexpected.

"Hey! These are the documents proving the Feng family's assets and deeds in the secular world! There are quite a few of them, enough to make them rich."

Chen Yun was full of surprise. He never expected that this document was related to secular assets.

And it looks like it’s worth a lot of money. This is an unexpected gain.

"There's nothing strange about this. The Dajin family is different from the Tiannan immortal cultivation family in that they regard entering the world as a normal thing and do not consider it shameful to associate with the rich and powerful."

"There are even independent cultivators who often take the initiative to go there to seek refuge. Although the territory of Dajin is large, the secular mortals are much more densely populated than Tiannan."

"They occupy most of the land in Dajin, so many spiritual medicine and spiritual stone resources are not in uninhabited places, but are directly controlled by the court."

"But it's different in Tiannan. The mortal world doesn't occupy much territory, and most of it is wilderness. Tiannan monks naturally don't need to interact with mortals."

Lord Dayan seemed to know something about this and gave Chen Yun some pointers. He explained in detail the differences between Dajin and Tiannan in this regard so that Chen Yun could understand why the Feng family had these documents of worldly assets.

"So, if the secular monarchy of the Great Jin controls so many immortal cultivation resources, will the other sects allow it?"

Chen Yun was somewhat skeptical. He felt that the sect forces would not easily allow the secular monarchy to control so many important immortal cultivation resources.

After all, this is related to one's own interests, so such questions are raised.

"Hehe, so what if it's not allowed. Dajin is not like Tiannan with many countries. Instead, it has always been a powerful court ruling the mortal world since ancient times."

"No matter how powerful a monk is, he cannot blatantly do things that harm mortals."

"Otherwise, not only will the secular world not react, but other sects will also take advantage of the situation to make a fuss."

"The current Jin Dynasty is actually the product of a compromise between several major forces in the world of immortal cultivation."

"If I remember correctly, these major forces seem to have an agreement that no sect can blatantly put pressure on the secular court and force it to do anything."

"In order to ensure the dignity of the secular court, they even specifically allowed the government to directly recruit some independent cultivators. The Dajin royal family can also train a certain number of palace cultivators."

"Of course, the ranks and numbers of these cultivators will not allow them to become too inflated as the big sects keep a cold eye on them."

Lord Dayan explained in detail the complex relationships and conflicts of interest behind it, allowing Chen Yun to have a deeper understanding of the situation in Dajin.

"In secret, in order to occupy more cultivation resources and manpower in the secular world, the major forces also showed their magical powers in private and made friends with some royal families and dignitaries in the court."

"Especially for those high-ranking officials like county governors, almost all of them have the shadow of large and small sects operating behind them."

"In order to avoid being caught by other forces, most of these matters are handled by the noble families under our tutelage."

"In this way, gradually, the immortal cultivation families have acquired a lot of assets in the secular world, which has long been a common thing in Dajin. (End of this chapter)
