Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path

Chapter 459 Secret Road

When the rock was closed, the last ray of light in the cave was gone, and the eyes suddenly became pitch black.

Huiming had checked inside just now, and the group of monks did not send anyone to guard them.

This made Chuzhuang have to sigh with emotion, the hearts of those monks were too big, or did they think that no one could find this place?

Chu Zhuang took out a large flashlight from his bag and shone a circle on the surrounding rock walls.

"There is a long tunnel inside. I haven't seen the situation over there yet. Be careful when you go there."

Huiming looked at the powerful flashlight in Chu Zhuang's hand, raised his eyebrows, and reminded.

Chu Zhuang nodded, followed Huiming and walked forward cautiously, looking at all the terrain in the cave.

Entering from the rock door is a two-meter-long corridor, and walking through the corridor is an empty rocky flat land.

Digging tools are placed on the flat ground. The tools are very worn and covered with mud. It can be seen that they are often used, but they were used not long ago.

After walking through the flat ground, there are two corridors that have been opened up behind.

"There are several locked rooms on the left, and a long tunnel on the right. Which way should we go?" Huiming looked at Chu Zhuang and asked.

Just now he entered the corridors on both sides to check a little bit.

The rooms on the left were all locked, he couldn't get in, and the tunnel on the right was too long, he was worried that Chu Zhuang would be alone at the entrance of the cave, so he didn't go in, he just looked around and backed out.

"Let's look to the left first."

Chu Zhuang thought about it and quickly made a decision.

Huiming nodded, he took the lead in the front, making sure that Chu Zhuang was not in danger, and then came from his route.

Chu Zhuang looked around carefully, and soon saw the first gate.

"This lock is black iron, I can't open it." Huiming looked at the big black iron lock of Chuzhuang above, shook his head, and said helplessly.

This kind of lock, even if he is a grandmaster, he can't break it with all his strength.

As for destroying the door, there is no need to think about it. The entire door is made of black iron, and even the chains cannot be destroyed, let alone the door.

"Let me try." Chu Zhuang raised his eyebrows and said.

The craftsmanship of Yue Dynasty is still very backward, and the research on locks also stays at a relatively late level.

If it is a modern combination lock or safety lock, Chu Zhuang will naturally not be able to open it.

But this kind of lock, Chu Zhuang is still a little sure.

Chu Zhuang untied the burden from his body, found some small tools from inside, asked Huiming to hold a flashlight for him, and began to fiddle with the lock cylinder of the black iron lock.

Most of the locks in this era have only one card slot inside, and ordinary thieves can easily poke the lock open with a single wire.

But the craftsmanship of this lock is relatively complicated at present. There are actually two card slots inside, and there is even a turning point in the second card slot.

If other ordinary thieves came, they would definitely be helpless in the face of this lock.

But for Chu Zhuang, it is still too childish. Generally, there are less than five card slots, and it is not difficult for him.

Huiming carefully illuminated Chu Zhuang with a flashlight. He watched Chu Zhuang's movements with complicated eyes.

This flashlight, Huiming has traveled all over the country, but he has never seen such a look, it doesn't seem like it belongs to the world.

He has been looking for the gods and Buddhas all his life, but he has not found them.

Right now, in Huiming's eyes, the person who looks most like a fairy is Chu Zhuang.

It's just that Chu Zhuang is indeed a mortal body, which makes Huiming very puzzled.

"Clap!"

Chu Zhuang didn't know what Huiming was thinking, so he quickly opened the big lock at the door with a simple tool.

Huiming handed the flashlight to Chu Zhuang and asked him to stand aside, while he carefully opened the door.

The room was full of large boxes, but nothing else.

"No problem in the room."

Huiming checked and found that there was no problem, so he let Chu Zhuang in.

"What's in this box?"

Looking at the wooden boxes piled up in the room, Chu Zhuang raised his eyebrows and asked.

"You'll know if you take a look?" Huiming raised his eyebrows.

Perhaps because of his confidence in the gates and locks, these boxes were not locked, but simply closed.

Huiming reached out and opened one of the boxes.

There is a whole box of gold neatly stacked inside. Perhaps because the gold has been around for a long time, the surface is a little oxidized, and there are a little black spots on it.

But this has not greatly affected the value of gold, as long as it is smelted, it can be easily restored to its original state.

"Tsk tsk! There must be at least 20 yuan of gold bricks in this box!"

Chu Zhuang looked at the gold in the box and couldn't help being amazed, and roughly estimated it.

A box of 20 yuan gold bricks is [-] gold coins.

There are no less than a hundred such boxes in the room. If all of them are filled with such gold bricks, then the total amount of gold coins in this room is at least 200 million gold coins!

Huiming picked out a few boxes at random and opened them, all of which were filled with identical gold bricks.

"Is this Xiangguo Temple so profitable? There is so much gold hidden in it." Chu Zhuang felt a little emotional.

"Xiangguo Temple is a national temple. The incense is strong all year round, and many dignitaries and dignitaries come here to worship Buddha. The gold is nothing." Huiming shook his head, but he was not too surprised by this.

After all, Huiming is the abbot of Jinguang Temple. Even Jinguang Temple has a lot of incense money every year, let alone Xiangguo Temple.

"Go and see the other rooms!"

Chu Zhuang didn't stay in the room for long, He Huiming restored the box to its original shape, and locked the black iron lock, and the two came out.

The room here should be the warehouse of Xiangguo Temple, most of which are filled with gold, and there are also some antiques and jade, all of which are very valuable.

"This Xiangguo Temple is as rich as an enemy country!"

Chu Zhuang sighed inwardly, he had heard Yun Hong say how Emperor Yu Wenchang was short of money, and how the treasury was short of money.

But right now, the combined wealth in these few rooms is probably more than the money in the treasury!

The two walked to the last room, and the room opened, revealing the true content inside.

"weapon!"

This room is different from other rooms. This room is very large, and the things in it are no longer gold and silver treasures.

But weapons and armor!

Not low-quality weapons, all are high-quality weapons and armor.

Chu Zhuang made a brief count, and estimated that this number could at least arm an elite army of about [-] people.

"Jing Heng, is he preparing to rebel?"

Chu Zhuang and Huiming looked at each other. Those gold and silver treasures are easy to explain, but these weapons cannot be explained!

"What should we do now?"

Huiming was full of shock at the current discovery, and didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only look at Chuzhuang.

Chu Zhuang looked at his pocket watch, and it was still early, so he said, "Go to another passage to have a look."

If there is also a weapon in the other channel, then this matter will be a big deal.

Huiming nodded with a serious expression, and the two walked towards another cave entrance one after the other.

The tunnel is a long tunnel, and there is no room like the one on the left.

But looking at the unforgettable tunnel in front of him, Chu Zhuang's expression became unusually serious.

Where does this long tunnel lead to?

After walking for a while, Chu Zhuang's speed was limited, so Huiming led Chu Zhuang forward at high speed.

Rao Huiming ran at full speed at a speed comparable to a modern sports car for an hour without reaching the end of the tunnel.

You can imagine how long this tunnel is.

Huiming's speed gradually slowed down, and the two of them could vaguely hear the sound of neat footsteps coming from above their heads.

The tunnel also began to have several branches, instead of just one long passage as before.

"Go back today first."

Chu Zhuang and Huiming both guessed the direction of the tunnel in their hearts. It was too late today and there were too many branches. In order to avoid getting lost in the tunnel, they did not dare to go further and could only withdraw temporarily.

The two returned to the same place, and they didn't come out of the rock hole until the first cock crowed.

After erasing all traces, Huiming and Chuzhuang quietly left from the back mountain.

"The excavation of this tunnel is so long, it cannot be completed overnight!"

Huiming turned around in the room. He looked at Chu Zhuang and asked guessily, "Chu Zhuang, do you think this is what Master wants me to investigate?"

"The tunnel project is very large, and it will take at least ten years to reach the current scale. From the perspective of time, even if the master knew that the tunnel was being dug in Xiangguo Temple, he probably didn't know where the tunnel led to at that time. " Chu Zhuang thought for a while and said.

Huiming's master may just have a guess in his mind, but he probably doesn't know what is going on in Xiangguo Temple.

"Anyway, I won't ignore this matter!" Huiming said with clenched fists.

Now it is not easy to find a clue, Huiming will not let it go.

Chu Zhuang nodded, Huiming wouldn't care if he didn't enter, and neither would he.

After all, if Xiangguo Temple rebelled, it would also affect the future layout of Chuzhuang.

"Don't act rashly for the time being, I'm afraid we can't handle this matter alone." Chu Zhuang patted Huiming's shoulder and said.

Huiming nodded. Although he is powerful in martial arts, he is very aware of his abilities.

This matter still depends on Chu Zhuang's arrangement.

"Then what shall we do?" Huiming looked at Chu Zhuang and asked.

"Tell the eldest brother and the second brother that we will go there again tomorrow night to find out the terrain inside and see where the exit of this tunnel is." Chu Zhuang said after thinking for a while.

The terrain in the palace is complicated, and there are many branches in the tunnel. Chu Zhuang needs to make some preparations before he dares to enter.

And he also needs Yunhong and the others to provide a topographic map of the palace, so that he can correspond to the authentic topography.

Rushing in, even if Huiming is a great master, he might be trapped to death in the tunnel.

Huiming nodded, got up and went out from the door, and knocked on Yun Zhanfei and Yunhong's room.

The two were very vigilant and woke up the first time Huiming knocked on the door.
