The terrain structure in the Guangming Dingmi road is extremely complex, and there are many turnouts, but most turnouts are dead roads, and it is not known whether there are deadly mechanisms in it.

    If there is no Xiaozhao to lead the way, Lu Zhi may be really bothered by the labyrinth design.

    They were walking along the secret road. Suddenly, Lu Zhi stopped. He faintly smelled a trace of sulfur from the air.

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

    "Something''s wrong."

    Then he saw him step forward, squat down, stretch out his hand and wipe the edge seam of the secret road.

    When he took back his arm, he saw a black trace on his finger belly, and a choking smell of saltpeter sulfur came out.

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

    The light in the secret passage is dim, especially at the edge of the corner. It is shrouded in the dark shadow. If Lu Zhi''s five senses are not sharp, I''m afraid I can''t find these black gunpowder hidden in the gap of the corner.

    "Gunpowder?!" Xiao Zhao was also surprised. When she went in and out to explore the secret way, there was no such terrible thing in the secret way.

    Lu Zhi''s eyes flickered slightly. He did not guess wrong. Cheng Kun, the old thief, had sneaked into Guangming summit from the secret road. After all, he was the only one who would bury black powder in the secret road of Guangming summit.

    The purpose of placing black powder in the secret road is self-evident. I''m afraid he wants to blow up the bright top!

    If you suddenly detonate the gunpowder in this secret way when all factions in the Wulin attack the bright top and fight with the masters of the Ming religion Not only will Mingjiao be completely destroyed, but even those Wulin people who attack Guangming summit will be killed or injured!

    The old thief is as cruel as ever!

    Fortunately, Lu Zhi had expected and came to the secret road to explore in advance. Otherwise, I''m afraid he really let the old thief succeed in his plot.

    "Brother Qingzhi, who buried the gunpowder here? Is it the evil monk you said before?"

    Lu Zhi replied, "it should be. The old thief is from the imperial court. He buried so much gunpowder in this secret way. I''m afraid he wants to use these gunpowder to detonate the gunpowder and blow everyone up together when all Wulin people attack the bright top!"

    "Ah!" Xiao Zhao was also frightened when she heard the speech. Fortunately, she and Lu planted in the secret road and found the evil monk''s plot. Otherwise, when the gunpowder was detonated, everyone on the bright top would have to be buried in the explosion!

    Of course, including her!

    "What should we do now? Should we tell others about it quickly?"

    Lu Zhi shook his head: "don''t worry for the moment. It will take some time for the major factions to attack the bright top. Before that, the old thief won''t do it, so we still have enough time."

    "Our top priority now is to find the old thief as soon as possible. As long as we find him, things will be much simpler."

    "Let''s go." Lu Zhi got up and said, "let''s find the trace of the old thief in the secret road first."

    In this secret passage, the path is complex and the passage is deep. After nearly two incense sticks, they came to the deep part of the secret passage. Here, there are all kinds of secret rooms of various organs, which are full of dangers. If they don''t know the way, even Lu Zhi will be unable to walk.

    However, the old thief Cheng Kun has never seen his trace. Lu Zhi guesses that he should not be in the secret way now. Maybe he has sneaked into the Guangming top through the secret way.

    Or maybe he went to the foot of the mountain to transport gunpowder. After all, with the amount of ignition powder Lu Zhi found all the way, he can''t blow up the great bright top. At most, it''s just a sound.

    Although there is gunpowder in this era, it is only the most basic black gunpowder. The intensity of combustion and explosion is not too high. If you want to use black gunpowder to blow up Guangming roof, the amount and equivalent of black gunpowder are really not small. If Cheng Kun is alone, the workload will take at least one or two days.

    After a day or two, it is estimated that the Wulin people of all factions will almost attack the bright top.

    Lu Zhi and Xiao Zhao came to a secret room with a large area. They saw that there were many weapons and armor in it, and there were two piles of gold and silver in the corner. Obviously, this is the weapon warehouse and treasure room of Ming religion.

    The Ming religion has a lot of weapons reserves and asset accumulation. No wonder they have the ability and confidence to organize the uprising against the yuan army.

    Lu Zhi stepped forward. He wanted to pick up a few ingots of gold to see the quality and help his poor, but Xiao Zhao quickly stopped him.

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

    Just listen to Xiao Zhao''s explanation: "there are mechanisms at the bottom of these treasure weapons, which are controlled by weight. Once the weight on them is reduced, the machine will be bounced up and started. At that time, thousands of arrows will fire together and the earth will collapse. You can''t escape at all!"

    Lu Zhi: "...."

    Well, the greed really can''t move.

    Lu Zhi nodded, and then turned away from the treasure house with Xiaozhao without nostalgia.

    He didn''t have much desire for money. Before, he just wanted to explore and get treasure for a while. He wanted to catch a few ingots of gold and silver to satisfy his exploration mind and keep it as a souvenir.

    But since he can''t move, it''s OK. He''s not a greedy man. Money is really just a symbolic thing for him.

    The two continued to move forward. Then, they didn''t know whether Xiao Zhao intended to bring him here or whether the road in the secret road was like this. They walked around and impressively came to a secret room blocked by a stone gate.

    Lu Zhi seemed to notice something. His eyes flashed and subconsciously looked at Xiao Zhao.

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

    "Brother Qingzhi, I mistakenly entered this secret road to explore the path and area. This is the end. There is a stone gate in front, and I can''t push it open. Therefore, Xiaozhao doesn''t know the way ahead."

    Her words are true. In the past few years on the top of the light, she has secretly explored the secret path for several times. She has explored most of the places in the secret path, but she can''t find the great mind moving method of heaven and earth.

    At the stone gate, she has been here several times. She can''t open the stone gate after trying her best She had a hunch that perhaps behind the stone gate was the mental method of the great shift of heaven and earth!

    Therefore, intentionally or unintentionally, she brought Lu Zhi here, hoping to open the stone gate with the help of Lu Zhi''s power, so that she can explore the secrets in the stone gate.

    Lu Zhi''s martial arts are high and deep. She has witnessed it with her own eyes. Lu Zhi, who had not yet reached the weak crown, could easily defeat mother-in-law Jinhua.

    Over the years, the name of Lu Qingzhi of Wudang has been heard like thunder in the Jianghu. I don''t know how many thieves and bandits died under his sword. It can be imagined that his martial arts must be more sophisticated over the years.

    So if it was him, he should be able to push open the stone gate that has plagued him for a long time.

    Lu Zhi probably knew what Xiao Zhao thought, but he didn''t point it out. Fortunately, she fulfilled her wish.

    Lu Zhi nodded and said, "Xiao Zhao, step back and I''ll open the stone gate."
