The guard in front glanced around again, and then nodded hesitantly: "Okay, let's go." ”

The two of them then turned their heads and walked briskly away in the direction of the apse at the other end. Xi Zishi could still hear what they were saying as they walked, and his heart gradually began to become suspicious.

...... load-bearing columns?

Xi Zishi couldn't help but clench his chin.

Listening to them, the apse should not have been completely destroyed by the explosion, and the load-bearing pillars were not affected. Now that the Qiong Heavenly Temple has been hit hard by this, they must find a way to reduce the possible losses as soon as possible.

This rhetoric does sound reasonable.

After all, half of the Qiongtian Temple collapsed, and as an important symbol of leadership, this was undoubtedly a huge blow. The apse is equally extensive, and if you want to rebuild it at this critical juncture, you should have no problem keeping it as soon as possible.

And the apse is also the armory of the Qiongtian Palace, as well as some important material reserves.

It is indeed very rational to make amends. But now it seems that some rationality has been overdone.

Xi Zishi lifted the curtain and walked out of it. He looked at the dark corridor where the two of them were walking, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

Jue Tongjun's words...... It's undoubtedly an excuse to hide the eyeliner.

The Heart Lake Meteorite had just been seized, and Qiong Tiandian was hit again, and Su Beizhi was seriously injured, so in this case, he instead cared about a load-bearing pillar first, which was a bit far-fetched.

He didn't know what image Jue Tongjun had in the hearts of these subordinates. But according to his opinion as a bystander, as a person who has repeatedly thought about the current situation nearly a hundred times, such a statement must be the most important doubt that implicates Qiong Tiandian.

Without thinking about it, Xi Zishi did not hesitate and walked briskly in the direction of the apse where the two left.

Take chestnuts from the fire, and the soldiers are fast. He must be fast when he fishes in troubled waters tonight, and he can't be fast.

The road is long and narrow, with twists and turns. Xi Zishi looked at the dust that had been shaken off the ground all the way, followed the traces of the footprints on it, and quickly found the apse.

In front of me, it was pitch black.

The apse was very quiet, except for the crackling sound coming from outside.

Xi Zishi slowed down and looked at his surroundings. It seems that the two of them have left, and there really is no other breath here.

The apse is very airtight, and because there are no windows, the Xizi Stone that has just entered is completely invisible. He groped his way forward, even holding his breath.

Suddenly, there was a "bell" sound, like a stone thrown into the water, causing a ripple.

Xi Zishi hurriedly took two steps back and covered his arm.

He seemed to have run into something just now. Looking closely, he realized that there was a neat row of knives, guns and weapons in front of him.

Because the voice was not small, he immediately raised his vigilance and looked around. But fortunately, I waited for a while, and there were no pitfalls.

Xi Zishi breathed a sigh of relief and slowly continued to walk forward.

Unlike the pitch darkness when he first entered, his eyes adjusted for a while, and he could finally see a little rough outline vaguely.

Brook Purple Stone bypassed those obstacles and looked forward with a little vision.

He couldn't even see his footsteps clearly, the silence and boundless darkness, he even thought it was the Shadow Lord's cave.

He pursed his lips as if laughing at himself, and was about to come back to his senses when a tall black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him.

It looked extremely thick, Xi Zishi hesitated for a moment, but decided to get closer and take a closer look.

And when he got closer step by step, he finally found that the huge thing in front of him was indeed Jue Tongjun's so-called load-bearing column.

Slowly reach out and touch it, it is a cold and smooth hard texture.

Xi Zishi cautiously surrounded the giant pillar, caressing the surface of the load-bearing pillar half step by step. The load-bearing column was not very wide, and he made a big circle to determine its specific appearance.

Walking back to his place, he quietly stopped. Standing in the darkness and pondering for a few moments, he continued to face the giant pillar, stretched out his fingers forward, and knocked slightly.

What came to his ears was a very solid muffled sound.

He was not discouraged, but calmed down, squinted his eyes, half-knelt on the ground, and carefully probed along the stone pillar little by little, inch by inch.

He knew that now that he was in the enemy camp, he should race against the clock. But the current situation does not allow him to hurry, this is the clue of everything, and he must hold on tightly.

Just as he was calming his mind like this, suddenly, a different sound sounded in his ears.

Immediately coming back to his senses, he stared at his eyes tightly, and at the same time, he knocked slightly in order to confirm.

Obviously. Unlike other places of crispness, this place is where the mechanism of the load-bearing column is located.

When I looked back at the Yongdao again, it was still silent. So he became bold and determined to take advantage of the opportunity to take a look.

Scouring around, his toes kicked a strange protrusion. When he bent down to take a closer look, he suddenly saw that the protrusion should be the mechanism that opened the secret passage.

There wasn't much time left for him to hesitate, and he couldn't afford to hesitate any longer. Xi Zishi thought about it, gritted his teeth secretly, and immediately pressed it with a palm.

Suddenly, at the very same moment, the bottom of the load-bearing column rumbled with the roar of the activation of the mechanism.

Xi Zishi looked at the eyes, and the corners of his mouth faintly smiled.

"Really...... It took a lot of work. ”

At the same time, in the dark room of the front hall of the Qiongtian Palace.

Jue Tongjun turned his back to Su Beizhi and sat with his head bowed in contemplation. There was a candle burning in front of him, and on the table was the confidential letter that Fu Yunge had given them before.
