Chapter 52. Gunpowder and stone gates

The terrain structure in this Bright Top Secret Passage is extremely complicated, and there are extremely many forks, but most of the forks are dead ends, and it is not known whether there are deadly mechanisms in them.

If there was no Xiao Zhao to guide the way, Lu Zhi would probably really be troubled by this labyrinth-like design.

The two of them walked all the way through the secret passage, and suddenly, Lu Zhi stopped, and he faintly smelled a trace of sulfur in the air.

"Brother Qingzhi, what's wrong?" Seeing Lu Zhi stop suddenly, Xiao Zhao asked puzzled.

"Something is wrong."

As he spoke, he stepped forward, squatted down, and reached out to wipe the seam of the secret passage.

Retracting his arm, he saw that his fingers were already stained with a black trace, and a choking smell of saltpeter and sulfur came out.

Lu Zhi's eyes narrowed: "Gunpowder.."

The light in the secret passage is a little dim, especially the position on the edge of the corner, which is shrouded in dark shadows, if it weren't for Lu Zhi's keen senses, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to find these black powders hidden in the cracks in the corners.

"Black powder?!" Xiao Zhao was also shocked, when she went in and out to explore the secret passage before, there was no such terrible thing in the secret passage.

Lu Zhi's eyes flashed slightly, he really guessed correctly, Cheng Kun's old thief had indeed sneaked into the Bright Peak from the secret passage, after all, he was the only one who would do such a thing as burying black powder in the secret passage of the Bright Peak.

And the purpose of placing black powder in the secret passage is naturally self-evident, he is afraid that he wants to blow up this bright top!

If the martial arts factions attack the top of the light and fight with the masters of the Ming Sect, they suddenly detonate the gunpowder in this secret passage... Not only is the Ming Sect going to be completely finished, but even those martial arts people who have attacked the Bright Peak are afraid that they will have to be killed or injured!

This old thief, his mind is really as vicious as ever!

Fortunately, Lu Zhi had expected it and came to this secret passage in advance to investigate, otherwise, I am afraid that the old thief's conspiracy would have succeeded.

"Brother Qingzhi, who will bury this gunpowder here? Could it be the evil monk you talked about earlier? ”

Lu Zhi replied: "It should be, that old thief is from the imperial court, he has buried so much gunpowder in this secret passage, I am afraid that he wants to use this gunpowder to detonate the gunpowder and blow everyone up to the sky when the martial arts people of all factions attack the top of the light!" ”

"Ahh Xiao Zhao couldn't help but be frightened when she heard this, but fortunately, she and Lu Zhi entered the secret passage and discovered the conspiracy of the evil monk, otherwise, when the gunpowder was detonated, everyone on the top of the light would have to be buried in the explosion!

Of course, she is also included!

"So what do we do now? Do you want to tell anyone else about it? ”

Lu Zhi shook his head: "Don't be in a hurry for the time being, it will take a while for the major factions to attack the Bright Peak, and before that, the old thief will not do it, so we still have plenty of time." ”

"And our immediate priority now is to find the old thief as soon as possible, as long as we find him, things will be much easier."

"Let's go." Lu Zhi got up and said, "Let's first look for the traces of the old thief in the secret passage." ”

In this secret passage, the path is complicated, the passage is deep and long, and the two of them traveled nearly two incense sticks before they came to the depths of the secret passage, and here are all kinds of secret rooms, full of dangers, if you don't know the way, even Lu Zhi may have to move an inch.

However, the old thief of Cheng Kun has never seen any trace of him, and Lu Zhi guessed that he should not be in the secret passage now, or maybe he has sneaked into the top of the light through the secret passage.

Maybe it was to transport gunpowder at the bottom of the mountain, after all, with the amount of gunpowder that Lu Zhi found along the way, it couldn't blow up this big bright roof, at most it was just a sound.

Although there is gunpowder in this era, it is only the most basic black powder, and the intensity of the combustion explosion is not too high.

And a day or two later, at that time, the martial arts people of all factions estimated that they were almost about to attack the top of the light.

Lu Zhi and Xiao Zhao came to a secret room warehouse that occupied a large area, only to see that there were many weapons and armor stored in it, and there were two piles of gold and silver stacked in the corner, obviously this is the armory and treasure room of Mingjiao.

The Mingjiao really has a lot of weapons reserves and asset accumulation, and it is no wonder that they have the ability and confidence to organize a rebel army against the Yuan army.

Lu Zhi stepped forward, wanting to pick up a few ingots of gold to see the quality and help his poverty, but was hurriedly stopped by Xiao Zhao.

"Brother Qingzhi, don't! Everything in this treasure trove can't be moved! ”

I only heard Xiao Zhao explain: "There are mechanisms under these treasure weapons, which rely on weight to control, once the weight on it is reduced, the machine will be bounced up and activated, and when the time comes, ten thousand arrows will be fired together, the sky will fall, and there will be no escape at all!" ”

Lu Zhi: "...."

Well, this greed really can't be moved.

Lu Zhi nodded, and then turned around and left this treasure house with Xiao Zhao without hesitation.

He didn't have much desire for money, and he only had the idea of exploring and taking treasure for a while, and he wanted to grab a few ingots of gold and silver to satisfy the adventure and keep it as a souvenir.

But since he can't move, then forget it, he's not the kind of person who is greedy for money, money is really just a symbolic thing to him.

The two continued to move forward, and then, I don't know if Xiao Zhao intended to bring him here, or if the road in the secret passage was like this, the two of them went around and around, and suddenly came to a secret room blocked by a stone door.

Lu Zhi seemed to notice something, his eyes flashed, and he subconsciously glanced at Xiao Zhao.

Xiao Zhao's heart tightened slightly, she felt that Lu Zhi's eyes seemed to have some deep meaning, but she still tried her best to squeeze out a smile on her face.

"Brother Qingzhi, I strayed into this secret passage before, the path and area I explored, this is the end, there is a stone gate in front of me, and I can't push it open, so the road ahead, Xiao Zhao is not clear."

What she said was indeed true, she had been secretly in this secret passage several times in the past few years on the top of the light, and she had already explored most of the locations in the secret passage, but she had never been able to find the Great Mind Shifting Method.

And this stone gate, she has been here several times, and she has tried her best to push the stone door open... She had a hunch that perhaps behind this stone gate was the mental method of the great shift!

So intentionally or unintentionally, she still brought Lu Zhi here, hoping to use Lu Zhi's power to open this stone gate, so that she could explore the secrets inside the stone gate.

Lu Zhi's martial arts are so high and deep, she has witnessed it with her own eyes, and Lu Zhi, who was not yet as weak as the crown, was able to easily defeat Granny Jinhua.

And over the years, the name of Wudang Lu Qingzhi has been even more thunderous in the rivers and lakes, I don't know how many Jiangyang thieves, thieves and bandits died under his sword, it is conceivable that his martial arts have become more and more profound over the years.

So if it were him, it should be easy to push open this stone door that has been bothering him for a long time.

Lu Zhi probably knew Xiao Zhao's thoughts in his heart, but he didn't break it, fortunately, his wish was fulfilled.

I saw Lu Zhi nodding and said, "Xiao Zhao, you step back a bit, and I'll push open this stone door." ”
