"Crack!" The moment the jade pendant and the design on the bronze door merged together, the bronze door suddenly caved in and opened to the left.

Inside the door was a cylindrical cabin. On the wall, there was a copper embroidered ball. A three inch long golden object could be vaguely seen.

Shen Ling Jue looked around and confirmed that there were no traps in the cabin. He then carefully opened up the copper ball and took out its contents.

"Key?"

The three were first surprised, then disappointed.

Feng Ningyan had originally thought that there was a high chance that the Infinite Buddha Temple was hiding the Heavenly Fate Jade Seal, but who would have thought that this mechanism that was difficult to break through was unlocked? It was fine without the Heavenly Fate Jade Seal, but it only had a single golden key.

The three of them looked at each other.

Shen Ling Jue flipped the key over, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

When Feng Ningyan and Luo Yunxuan saw his shocked expression, they hurriedly looked at the place where Shen Lingjue was staring at. Only then did they discover that the horizontal plane of the key was actually three diamond-shaped shapes.

"I've finally found the same pattern as on your scented sachet!" This means that the scented sachet was left behind by Imperial Concubine Min. " Feng Ningyan asked excitedly.

"If there's a key, there should be a lock."

Shen Ling Jue walked out of the cabin and returned the jade pendant to his waist. The three of them separately searched for the lock on the other eight pillars.

As expected, another door appeared on the other pillar. Moreover, there was a keyhole like that on the door.

Shen Ling Jue hurriedly inserted the key and listened to the sound of the machine. Following the principle of opening the mechanism earlier, he quickly opened the bronze door.

Behind the door was another room. The only difference was that this room was suspended in a copper pillar, and it wasn't welded to death.

The three of them walked in and saw that there was a Twin Swallows Banshou by the door. Then, they gently pulled it off.

The moment the wrench landed, the cabin shook slightly and slid towards the bottom section of the copper pillar at a uniform speed.

Although Feng Ning Yan and Shen Ling Jue had already seen that there were mechanisms within these bronze pillars, they didn't expect it to be a vertical passage.

Soon, they arrived at the bottom of the bronze pillar. The bronze door opened, and a brilliant light shone in front of them, as bright as day.

If not for the chilly air and the scent of books, Feng Ning Yan would have thought that they were outside the Ten Thousand Buddha Pavilion.

The brilliance they saw was not the sunlight, but the radiance emitted by the countless Night Pearls.

This was the bottom of the Thousand Blessings Pavilion, a position much deeper than the underground mechanism.

Who would've thought that there would be a palace deep underground?

The hall was filled with rows and rows of bookshelves that were over ten meters tall. They were filled with case files, handwritten letters, books, and other items. From the looks of it, it didn't seem like the place where the scriptures were kept.

Since this place is already absolutely safe, there aren't any traps. Shen Ling Jue pulled Feng Ning Yan along as he slowly walked forward. At the same time, he picked up a file on the right side of the bookshelf and looked at it.

"In the summer of the sixteenth year, noble Yun secretly contacted Yu Meng, and the next year, he gave birth to Di Ji. He ordered Qing'er to kill the mother and daughter of noble Yun and burn them at the cemetery on the outskirts of the city. Then Yu Meng disappeared. "

He could not help but feel his scalp go numb. He recalled that when he was three or four years old, he had heard of this person before.

But he never would have thought that there would be such a case under the Thousand Blessings Pavilion, with such a shocking harem scandal written on it.

What kind of place was this underground palace exactly?

Feng Ning Yan hurriedly took out a letter. After looking at it, she shockingly placed it in front of Shen Ling Jue.

The first page of the letter read: "Ten years of peace, spring. "County Governor Pan Yang often kept it. He bribed the Minister of Revenue, Chu Zheng, to bribe him with three thousand taels of silver. At the Moon Pavilion in the capital, he formed a trading company to purchase military supplies."

Luo Yunxuan also hastily flipped through a few scrolls and discovered that all of them contained records of this inconceivable secret.

Feng Ningyan could not help but feel a chill run down her spine, "Historian records that noble Yun died in childbirth, and the previous Minister of Revenue, Chu Zhengtang, is a very famous official in the Imperial Department … But in the booklets here, why are there so many completely opposite things? "

Shen Ling Jue's eyes were cold as he put down the book: "It's not the opposite, but rather unknown."

As far as he could see, there were countless "unknown" secrets hidden within the tall bookshelves, countless of them.

Although that was all in the past, and was no longer of much use to him now, he faintly understood that Imperial Concubine Min's goal in building the Thousand Buddha Pavilion was definitely not to hide the Heavenly Fate Jade Seal.

Feng Ning Yan's heart was beating wildly; it was hard to tell if it was excitement or shock.

"Your Highness, why would Imperial Concubine Min collect so many secrets? From the imperial court to the imperial harem, from place to people, there seems to be no secrets that can be hidden from her. "

Luo Yunxuan was also extremely curious. She quickly sorted them out according to the bookshelves, wanting to find out if there were any secrets behind the fire that year. She had always wanted to know who set the Palace on fire.

Shen Ling Jue's hand tightly gripped the scented sachet on his waist and he slowly said: "Double Swallow Jade Pendant, Three Diamond Pattern... Yan'Er, do you feel anything special here? "

Feng Ning Yan looked at him, and nodded, "Before I came here, I thought that the only organizations that were proficient in gathering intelligence were the Pavilion of Interpretation. He didn't expect that Imperial Concubine Min would also have such an interest. The Interpretation Pavilion is here to earn money, so why would Imperial Consort Min collect so much information and hide it deep in the ground of the Thousand Blessings Pavilion? "

Shen Lingjue was silent because he did not know the answer.

He looked around and saw that other than the bookshelves, other than those secrets, there seemed to be nothing else of value.

However, he knew that the Thousand Blessings Pavilion that Imperial Concubine Min had left behind would definitely be even more precious than the Heaven's Mandate Jade Seal.

He frowned thoughtfully and walked to the center of the hall where the white jade stone base rested. Step by step, he walked up the stairs. Looking at the seven-colored glass night pearl palace lamp erected above it, he could not help but be lost in thought.

When he opened the bronze door, he was thinking that the Destiny Jade Seal should be here.

But not only did he not find the Heavenly Fate Jade Seal, this underground palace had given him a new suspense.

He thought to himself, 'Mufei, why did you leave so straightforwardly? You never told me anything!' Now that I've unlocked one of my rings, and have another, when will I finally understand what mufei never said before she died …

He felt a sudden sense of powerlessness as he slapped the ceiling lamp with his palm.

At this moment, Feng Ningyan suddenly ran up. She lowered her head to take a closer look and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, look, there's also a lock here!"

Shen Ling Jue hastily used the golden key to probe around, and sure enough, he heard a series of crisp sounds from the lamppost.

Then the stone steps suddenly moved away to either side, revealing a secret passage.

The secret passageway looked like an ancient tomb passageway. The walls and ceiling were carved with the images of the Underworld's Yama Attendant.

However, the moment she walked in, Feng Ningyan immediately felt a sense of familiarity.

"Why does this place look so similar …" She stuttered and looked at Shen Ling Jue in shock, "The Pavilion of Interpretation …" "Ancient tomb?!"
