The heavens are happy

Chapter 182 Explosion

After confirming that Cheng Kun had gone far away, Yang Xiao finally felt relieved, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Cheng Kun was too treacherous. Fortunately, he was injured by a yang finger, so he dared not stay in the place where Mingjiao was important.

Only then did he notice that his fingers on Xiao Zhao's lips could clearly feel her rapid breathing and slightly trembling nose.

Yang Xiao only thought that she was too scared, so he comforted her: "Although we are temporarily trapped, it's better than being smashed into meatloaf by a big stone. We might be able to get out if we think about it! Xiao Zhao, you Do not be afraid!"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhao lowered his head and said, "I... am not afraid, I am not afraid when the master is here!"

Yang Xiao thought about groping for the fire pocket on his body, took it out, and said, "It's a pity that there is only a fire pocket, no candles, and I don't know how long it will take? Xiao Zhao, do you still have fire on you?"

Xiao Zhao was stunned when she heard the words, she naturally had a fire bag on her body when she came down, but she told Yang Xiaoying just now that she fell here accidentally, if she really took out the fire bag, wouldn't she not have a fire bag? Recruit yourself?
But thinking about the current situation of the two of them, Xiao Zhao took out a fire pocket from his bosom and said, "I... I have a fire pocket on me, but I don't have any candles, nor here. Torches, I'm afraid we won't last long!"

Yang Xiao nodded and said, "Don't rush to light the fire!"

After walking along the corridor for a few steps, it came to the end.

He groped around, and suddenly Yang Xiao reached out to touch a wooden barrel, and said happily, "Yes!"

With a palm of his hand, he split the wooden barrel, only to feel a lot of powder coming out of the barrel, he didn't know whether it was lime or flour, he picked up a piece of wood and said, "Light the torch!"

Xiao Zhao took out the fire knife, flint, and tinder, lit the fire, leaned over to light the wood chip, suddenly the fire was dazzling, and the wood chip would burn violently immediately.

The two were shocked, and they smelled the stench of nitrate in their noses.Xiao Zhao exclaimed, "It's gunpowder!"

Yang Xiao lifted the wood chip high, and when he looked at the powder in the bucket, it was indeed black gunpowder.He laughed in a low voice: "If the sparks splashed just now, I'm afraid your pretty face will have more pockmarks!"

As Yang Xiao said, he held up the wooden stick and looked around.

I saw some bows and arrows scattered on the ground, most of which were stained with rust, obviously they were prepared by the ancients of the Ming Dynasty to defend against foreign enemies in the tunnel.Then look at the surrounding walls, but there is no half gap, it is really helpless.

Suddenly Yang Xiao had a thought, leaned over to pick up a spear, weighed it in his hand, felt that it was very heavy, it seemed to weigh about forty catties, and said: "This lot of gunpowder may save us from danger. It seems that we Life should not die!"

Xiao Zhao clapped his hands and said, "Good idea, good idea! Maybe it can blow up the boulder!"

Yang Xiao shook his head with a smile and said, "That big rock weighs a thousand catties, I'm afraid it's difficult!"

As he spoke, he picked up the spear, walked under the boulder, and stood sideways for a moment, unable to hear Cheng Kun's breathing, thinking that he had gone away.

Xiao Zhao raised the torch and lit it beside him.

Yang Xiao said: "I guess it won't be shattered once, it seems that it will be separated several times." Immediately, he moved his arms vigorously, and slowly stabbed a hole with a spear in the gap between the boulder and the corridor.

Xiao Zhao handed over the gunpowder, Yang Xiao put the gunpowder into the hole, turned the spear upside down, used the handle of the spear to make it solid, and then laid a gunpowder line to the bottom as an introduction.

He took the torch from Xiao Zhao, and Xiao Zhao stretched out his hands to cover his ears.Yang Xiao stood in front of her, leaned over and lit the medicine primer, and saw a little spark burning forward along the gunpowder line.

Suddenly there was a loud bang, and a gust of hot air rushed in. He stretched out his hand to wrap around Xiao Zhao's waist, protecting her behind him.

The corridor was filled with smoke, and the torch was extinguished by the heat.

Seeing that the smoke in the corridor had lightened a bit, Yang Xiao lit the torch and looked forward, only to see that the boulder was safe and sound, as before, only a tiny corner was blown away.

Xiao Zhao was also quite depressed when he saw it, and said: "I'm afraid it will take seven or eight more bombings before we can get through. But the remaining gunpowder can only be bombed two or three times at most."

Yang Xiao turned around and saw that there was indeed not much gunpowder in the wooden barrel, but he was not as pessimistic as Xiao Zhao. He raised his spear and ignored the big stone. A big rock rolled down, revealing a hole.

Xiao Zhao was surprised and happy when he saw it, Yang Xiao laughed and said, "It really is!"

This is because he knew that there should be another stone room next to the tunnel based on the location distribution in the secret passage that he had memorized in his heart.

Compared with the big stone weighing a thousand catties and measuring about one meter in diameter, the wall between this corridor and the stone chamber next to it is only about two or three feet away. It would be faster to blast the wall than to blast the stones.

Yang Xiao picked up the spear from the ground, and then used the spear to pierce the place where the stones fell off on the wall of the corridor just now.

After about half a stick of incense, he had already drilled a small hole as deep as a spearhead here, and then Yang Xiao drilled a hole as deep and as deep as a spearhead about three or four inches away from it.

Then he took the gunpowder, filled it into the hole, and filled it with the point of a spear, and then drew the line of fire, and lit the gunpowder with a torch.

After this explosion, the blasted surface of the two holes was like a big bowl-like opening, and it was about a foot apart.

Xiao Zhao who was on the side saw this scene, his eyes lit up, showing an excited look, and he didn't care about clapping his hands excitedly, which was still filled with smoke.

Yang Xiao also nodded secretly. At last, his skills are not unfamiliar. The blasting method is similar. Yang Xiao uses the hole blasting method, which is considered a relatively basic method. The reason is that the only material he can use is black powder, and there is no other way.

What's more, the hole blasting method is most suitable for blasting walls when working in the passage. According to the blasting method at the beginning, the gunpowder can only be used two or three times. It can explode four or five times.

At that moment, he no longer hesitated, picked up the spear and continued to drill two deep holes in the wall according to the previous method, and then filled them with gunpowder. After this blasting, Yang Xiao blasted four times in four places on the wall. Afterwards, it has become a large piece, blasting a big hole in the middle of the stone wall of this passage.

Then Yang Xiao used the tip of the spear to keep turning in circles in the middle of the big pit. After drilling the hole, he stuffed the remaining gunpowder in all at once, and stuffed it tightly with the tip of the spear, and then put the remaining gunpowder, Pull the lead out.

After the detonation this time, with a loud noise, smoke and dust scattered, and gravel flew.The crater was suddenly blasted and a brand new hole came out, revealing a hole the size of a washbasin.

Yang Xiao was overjoyed immediately, he was able to pass through such a hole by using the bone shrinking technique, but Xiao Zhao still needed a lot of effort to get through this hole.

But at this time, since the wall has been blown through, everything is not a problem. Yang Xiao picked up the spear, and he kept busy poking forward at the crack where the blast opened. Falling down, in just a moment, the gap was more than doubled in size.

It was more than enough for the two of them to pass through here, Yang Xiao threw the spear away, turned around and looked at Xiao Zhao with a smile, "I'm afraid we have to drill a hole today."

Holding a torch in his hand, he first climbed in, and then called Xiao Zhao to come in. Next to this corridor is a weapon room of Mingjiao, and some weapons are scattered everywhere. At this time, Yang Xiao already knew where the two of them were, and he was determined. .

Finally, he was able to go out. This was the most dangerous time Yang Xiao had encountered in recent years, and it was a bit of luck to be able to escape.

But Yang Xiao didn't want to rush out like this, since he came here again, he could do some things by the way!
