Tomb Robbery: Successor to the King, starting in Yunnan Worm Valley

Chapter 450 Powder Keg

There are heavy machine guns on Bailongwang Island, as well as some heavy weapons that can be obtained from other places in Southeast Asia.

Nguyen Hei Kuchai and his son are also very capable in fighting.

Although Ruan Hei is a fisherman, in a place like Nanyang and he is from South Vietnam, it is impossible to say that he has never touched a gun.

It's just that he is not from a serious military background, he should be from a wild background.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Hu Bayi, who had served as a company commander and been on the battlefield and fought with real swords and guns in the south, to cooperate with Ruan Hei.

Even so, Nguyen Hei Kuchai and his son are considered to have strong martial arts skills and are proficient in operating various heavy weapons.

Coupled with this Yinshen cannon, combined with various heavy machine guns, small-caliber coastal defense guns, anti-aircraft guns and other weapons, Wang Ye's secret base can be built into one.

A fortress that no other pirate dares to approach.

Of course, Ruan Heiguchai and his son alone are not enough. Wang Ye will also place many modified mechanical puppets on Bailongwang Island.

Coupled with the Five Elements Mechanism Technique that we just obtained, and when we make some Mechanism Formation Traps and the like, White Dragon King Island will still be defeated even if Ma Run comes.

Wang Ye's operation of unloading the Folang machine with his bare hands stunned Professor Sun and Mo Meier.

Fatty Hu Bayi Wang and Shirley Yang were already used to it.

Wang Ye's speed was extremely fast. Just as everyone had a clear look at the statue of the God of Artillery, the Fo Lang machine had already been removed.

At this moment, Hu Bayi Wang Fatty Shirley Yang and others came to their senses and asked Wang Ye what was this?
  In fact, these people don't even know the God of Cannon, and naturally they don't know the statue of the God of Cannon either.

However, both Mei Meier and Professor Sun knew it.

My sister even saw the Cannon Temple when she was a child.

There are also mechanisms on this statue.

The outside is covered with a layer of ramie lacquer.

Once the mechanism is triggered, not only the temple door will be locked with a lock, but the ramie statue that originally protected it will also be hung up by the mechanism.

The statue of Fangui Cannon God in Guandi Temple will be revealed.

Mo Meier said that this area of ​​Qingxi Town was full of miners in ancient times, and there were mines everywhere.

At that time, people used gunpowder to mine mountains.

But at that time, people used gunpowder to cut mountains and blast rocks. They used gunpowder, and the operation was not very standardized.

Originally, miners were a high-risk industry. They made a living with their heads tied to their waistbands. When gunpowder exploded mountains, various accidents often occurred.

Countless miners died under gunpowder.

In order to maintain the morale of the miners, many mine owners even find some desperadoes or simply slaves to shoot off the cannons.

But even so, it still can't stop people from being afraid of gunpowder.

After the terror accumulated to a certain extent, people began to worship the artillery god.

Because the powerful Folan machines that people had access to at that time were all imported from the West, and the figures who controlled the artillery were all Bangui, so the statues in the Cannon Temple all looked like Bangui.

In fact, not only the people worshiped the God of Artillery, but even the officers and soldiers at that time also generally worshiped the God of Artillery.

It's just that what the officers and soldiers worship is the artillery itself.

The cannons at that time all had names like Shenwu Shenwei, and they all had the official title of general.

If you look up the history books, they are all filled with names like Divine Power Cannon and Divine Power Cannon.

These are the formation of the folk belief in the artillery god reflected in the officers and soldiers. .

Of course, this situation changed a lot after the Qing Dynasty. The biggest change is that Nurhachi of the Qing Dynasty died after being seriously injured by an artillery blast by Yuan Chonghuan's Guan Ning Army outside Ningyuan City.

The entire Qing Dynasty was closed to the outside world, so artillery was inherently taboo.

The Qing Dynasty rulers regarded the worship of the Cannon Temple as something treacherous and had to be demolished if it was discovered.

But in a place like Qingxi Town, the Cannon Temple is considered a necessity.

Without the Cannon Temple, the miners who blasted rocks to open mountains would have no sense of security at all.

So the locals came up with a way to disguise the Cannon Temple into various medicine temples or earth temples.

Trickery.

But there are really no people who dare to pretend that the Cannon Temple is the Guandi Temple.

This one here is the only one.

The reason is also very simple. The miners worship the God of Artillery just for peace of mind, for fear of having an accident if they offend the God of Artillery.

The problem is that the miners don't want to offend Mr. Guan.

Emperor Fumo is not as easy to talk to as Lord Shidi or Lord Yao. He is a good man, upright and strong throughout his life, and cannot rub a grain of sand in his eyes.

There is no reason to make Mr. Guan unhappy by committing fraud.

According to Mo Meier, this temple door should be a switch.

If the lock above is opened or violently destroyed, the fireworks in the Cannon Temple will be triggered.

At that time, the entire Cannon Temple will be blown into powder.

Not only inside the statue, but also the throne, the long table in front, and the roof tiles above the head are all decorated with fireworks.

On the contrary, most of the floor is empty.

After all, they still have to receive worship from believers.

Hu Bayi had been an engineer and was also a good hand in blasting. After Yao Meier's reminder, he immediately began to inspect several key locations in the entire Cannon Temple.

Not long after, Lao Hu's face began to look very, very ugly, as white as snow without a trace of blood.

"Wang Ye, Fatty, this time is terrible. We were ambushed by the enemy and made a careless mistake. There is really gunpowder in this gun temple."

Fatty Wang was slightly startled, "Old Hu, even if there is explosives here, we used to play with gunpowder a lot when we were children. After so many years, has the gunpowder here become damp? Can it still explode?"

Normally, if gunpowder has been left for hundreds of years, it will no longer explode. It will become damp and caked.

But Hu Bayi's expression still didn't change for the better.

"The environment here is very closed, there is no wind, and there is no rainfall. If you look at the things in this temple, even the couplets at the door, and the door gods on the doors in the village opposite, they have not been corrupted by moisture at all."

"And the gunpowder here is not the same as the gunpowder we use to set off firecrackers during the New Year."

"The gunpowder used in the mines is much more powerful than the gunpowder in the New Year firecrackers. Although there should be no high explosives in the country at that time, the formula of the gunpowder has been improved, and the moisture resistance has also been improved."

"So, the fireworks here are most likely still usable."

"The only good news is that no matter what kind of explosive, it will inevitably oxidize slowly over hundreds of years. Even if it can explode, it will probably be much less powerful than when it was first placed."

Fatty Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

But Wang Ye didn't intend to let Fatty Wang go.

"Cousin, don't be too happy. It's just more powerful than when it was first placed. The explosives at that time could flatten the entire temple."
