Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2269 (Two Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty Nine) Groove

Looking at the keys inside, I thought: I hope these keys are really related to opening the passage leading to where the remains of the suicide victims are buried, otherwise what should I do then?

While thinking, Tie Wandao took one of the keys out of the groove. At this time, he found that there was a "five" in the groove where the key was embedded before. He put the key back to its original position and took out another key from the groove. He saw that there was a "three" in the groove where the key was embedded before. After he put the key back to its original position, he took out several other keys from the grooves one by one. He saw that most of the keys had only one word representing a number in the groove. Only the groove where one of the keys was embedded had three words "underground one".

When Tie Wandao saw the word "underground", he thought: Dad once said that these keys were related to Muxi Pavilion. I couldn't find any connection between them and the above-ground part of Muxi Pavilion before. So, it seems that these keys are the keys to open the underground door of Muxi Pavilion. Li Pingrun told me that the entrance of the passage is usually sealed in many layers. It is estimated that there are multiple doors in the passage under Muxi Pavilion. The words marked in the grooves where these keys are located should indicate which door you encounter after entering, right? "Underground One" should refer to the first door you encounter after entering, and "Two" should refer to the second door you encounter after entering. Only the word "underground" is before "One", and the words after it are probably omitted.

At this time, he noticed that there was a very small and simple picture on the upper left and lower right corners of the box cover. He felt that both pictures were familiar, but he couldn't figure out what they were. He thought they should be two very simple maps, but he felt that they didn't match the situation in Muxi Pavilion.

He turned the key box and the directions of the two pictures changed.

At this time, he felt that it was the map, and suddenly realized that if he changed direction again, he should be able to see the situation of Muxi Pavilion from the map.

Tie Wandao turned the key box again, and then he immediately understood what was drawn on the two maps.

It turned out that the map in the upper left corner specifically marked the location of the entrance to the basement on the first floor of Muxi Pavilion, while the map in the lower right corner specifically marked the location of the sealed entrance in the basement.

Tie Wandao was relieved immediately after seeing these, thinking: It seems that these must be the keys to open the doors in the passage, they are so clearly drawn, they can't be wrong! Although I have opened this box before, I didn't notice that there were two such small maps in the upper left and lower right corners of the lid. I have never taken those keys out of the grooves before, so I never knew that there were words in the grooves where they were embedded. If my father hadn't mentioned to me before his death that these keys were related to Muxi Pavilion, even if I noticed the two maps inside the lid and saw the words in the grooves, I would never have thought of Muxi Pavilion.

Although Tie Wandao had not tried these keys, he was sure that they must be the keys that could open the door in the passage. Later, he put them in the bag he was carrying and took them out.

At this moment, in the basement of Muxi Pavilion, Tie Wandao took out the box containing the key from the bag he was carrying.

Tie Jinjue raised the candle in his hand to the area near the box in Tie Wandao's hand to illuminate it.
