If someone comes over, they will probably be scared to retreat as soon as they see this deserted house, especially at night.

Jiayin first used his spiritual consciousness to explore the entire remote courtyard.

Except for the cabinet that also serves as the tunnel exit, there are no darkrooms in the remote courtyard.

Even the cabinet that serves as the tunnel exit is so tattered that it looks like it might break at any time, as does the other furniture.

Jiayin suspected that this tunnel had not been used for at least ten years, and did not know what it was used for.

She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't explain it for a while.

When I wanted to take back my spiritual consciousness and explore another house with an underground tunnel, by some strange coincidence, I placed my spiritual consciousness in the courtyard that was corroded by fire.

As if there was something there, Jiayin directly wrapped the courtyard with his spiritual consciousness and reached down.

Oops!

Jiayin couldn't help but marvel.

Who would have thought that this yard that had been burned by fire and had been abandoned for many years would have such a large stone room underneath!

The size is about the same as the house on the ground, and the layout is the same. That's why Jiayin didn't detect it before, and his spiritual consciousness swept past it and thought it was a room in this courtyard.

Inside the stone chamber were all boxes containing gold, silver and jewelry, large and small.

Jiayin looked at the entrance and felt that this house was probably a stronghold for the Binghuo Island pirates.

Because the entrance is also in a well, but the entrance in this well is much more concealed than the previous well in Jiangcheng.

In the well in Jiangcheng, as long as the upper stone slab is removed, you can see the stone steps below, but this is not the case. This well is a real well, and there is still water in the well.

If you want to enter the darkroom, you must first climb down the well with a rope. The entrance is on the side wall of the well just before reaching the water surface.

In other words, you can't see it at all from above, and you will just think it is an ordinary well.

Jiayin admires the person who designed this entrance, it is really unexpected.

As for whether the well water will surge and flood the dark room? That is impossible, because there is another hole slightly lower on the well wall for drainage.

If the well water rises to a certain level, it will flow into another hole and be discharged outside.

I just don’t know how these gold and silver jewelry were moved in. The entrance is so narrow, and some boxes are so big that it’s impossible to get in.

There should be another entrance.

Jiayin used his spiritual consciousness to explore it again, and this time he didn't miss every corner.

Suddenly, a sealed entrance was discovered behind a box. Only traces of the doorway were left there, which was completely sealed.

It should have been in a livestock shed before, and the entrance was under the stone trough of the livestock shed, which has been backfilled with soil.

It must have been sealed after putting away the gold, silver and jewelry for fear of others discovering it.

It's not that it's just put in and not taken out. It's not difficult to dig out the tunnel entrance again, it just takes some time.

Moreover, it seemed that the gold and silver jewelry had been put there for a long time. There was no sign of anyone moving in the yard, so it should have been put in before the fire.

When there was a fire, it was very likely that someone had been burned to death here, so people around it were very taboo.

You can tell from the fact that no one lives in the remote courtyard, and the house on the other side is also empty.

There may have been rumors of some kind of haunting, which is why the three courtyards were left empty.

There are people living in the fourth courtyard, which is separated from these three courtyards by an alley.

Jiayin looked at it and understood a little bit. The reason why the fourth house was so bold was because it was a shop selling funeral supplies, a coffin shop.

If this shop were to be opened anywhere else, it would be weird, but if it is opened here, it feels inexplicably appropriate...

Jiayin suddenly thought that if this courtyard is a pirate stronghold, then this remote courtyard is likely to be too!

That tunnel is relatively close to the inner city, so it's okay.

This place is next to the city wall, and people hide here through tunnels. If there is another tunnel that can go out and go directly to the outside of the city, wouldn't it mean that they can come and go freely?

Thinking of this, Jiayin searched several surrounding yards, including the open space near the city wall.

Sure enough, I found one in the third empty yard!

If Jiayin sits down and wants to slap his thigh, this is really a big deal. He actually built four courtyards as strongholds in the south of Guanhai City and dug tunnels.

Who would have thought that the three abandoned courtyards were pirate strongholds and even had tunnels leading out of the city.

The reason why I didn't notice the good news about the third courtyard is because the tunnel inside is very short and its location is hard to describe.

Because the tunnel was actually dug into the toilet. It was said to be a tunnel, but if you didn't pay attention, you would have thought it was a manure outlet dug for the toilet.

The entrance is under the large pottery jar used to hold feces in the toilet. When you take out the pottery jar, there is a hole underneath.

This courtyard is less than two feet away from the city wall. The tunnel is dug directly to the drainage outlet under the city wall and is connected to the drainage outlet of the city wall.

Even if someone discovered it, they would think that the drainage outlet was dug when digging the toilet outlet.

This is because Jiayin uses his spiritual sense to detect it. If it is an ordinary person, it will not be discovered at all, unless the pirates run in and expose themselves.

Jiayin did not touch the gold and silver jewelry, thinking what if he guessed wrong?

And even if they belong to pirates, if they are wiped out by the court at that time, the court will come and seize them even if the lax talkers are found out.

If she takes it away, the people from the court will have nothing to gain and it will be a problem.

In fact, the main reason is that there are too many gold and silver jewelry in the Jiayin storage bag, and there is no place to put it. If you take it away, you have to replace the storage bag, which is not worth it.

She wasn't interested in these either. She didn't even have a luminous pearl that could be used for lighting, so she didn't want to accept it at all.

Remembering this location, Jiayin used his spiritual sense to explore the last courtyard with an tunnel.

Now that the sky is bright, the only thing left is the sun to rise. Jiayin looked at the sky, and I'm afraid I won't see the sun today. It looks like it's going to rain.

The last authentic courtyard is more interesting, it is in a shop.

Why is it interesting? Because this shop sells all imported products, all of which are rare things from other countries.

There are ornaments, jewelry, and even Inca gemstones.

The pieces are much smaller than the ones Jiayin picked out in the gem mine, only about the size of a fingernail, so they are very suitable for making jewelry.

The tunnel inside is very short, just from the shop to the outside of the wall.

I don’t know what the function of this tunnel is?

There is a wooden counter inside the shop, and there is an empty space under the counter. A wooden board is opened to reveal the tunnel entrance.

The tunnel exit is outside the wall of the backyard, and the exit is among a pile of messy items.

There are some tattered old furniture discarded there, and I don't know where they came from.

The wood was so rotten and so dark that I didn't even have the desire to pick it back and use it as firewood.

It can also cover up the tunnel very well.

Looking at these three places, only the three courtyards in the south of the city are the most suspicious. This tunnel, which only enters and exits my own courtyard, seems to have left a way for me to escape at any time.

I looked at the shopkeeper and the waiter who had just woken up in the shop, but I didn't see anything suspicious.

Finally, he returned his consciousness to the house connected to the small courtyard in the south of the city.

At this time, a large family living inside had also gotten up, started washing up, and making breakfast.

Jiayin used the technique of observing qi to look at them one by one and found that this family was an ordinary person with a peaceful aura.

Thinking about the entrance of the tunnel that has not been touched for ten years, it is very likely that the family does not know the existence of that tunnel.

This family may have purchased the yard later, and the reason why they left the back half untouched was because they had no slaves or animals.

There were just sundries in the back, and there was no need to flip the lid, so I didn't find the entrance.

In fact, in this way, it provides the best cover for the tunnel entrance. If pirates really live here, no matter how good the concealment is, sooner or later the secret will be revealed.

Jiayin rolled his eyes and thought for a while. Since these are ordinary people, there is no need to leave hidden dangers for them. If those pirates come, they may not leave here.

Although this family was under cover, they would be more easily exposed if pirates came over.

It would be more convenient to go directly to the burned courtyard or the remote courtyard than to enter the tunnel from here.

Jiayin simply used his spiritual consciousness to seal the tunnel behind and under the cabinet with sand.

In this way, even if the pirates in the remote courtyard wanted to come and hide in the courtyard here, they would not be able to get through.

As for breaking in directly from the front yard, I believe those pirates are not that stupid.

After doing this, Jiayin began to search in various inns again. Jiayin had already searched for the big inn in Guanhai City before.

What I'm looking for now is a smaller inn that I didn't find before, to see if there's anyone suspected of being the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult.

Tianzun's audience has been staying in the original inn and has not moved. Jiayin has heard their conversation.

After knowing that the Tianzun audience had arrived, the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult did not contact them. These people were also wondering, and it was not easy to go back directly after coming all the way.

Moreover, Tianzun Temple has plenty of money, so he is not afraid to wait here. As for whether the other party has a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain?

They are not afraid at all. You must know that Tianzun Temple is protected by the ancestor's formation. It is really not easy for ordinary people to defeat Tianzun Temple.

Jiayin used his spiritual consciousness to look through all the inns, but found nothing. Until the one they stayed in, they found a suspicious-looking person downstairs in the inn.
