Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1920 Arhat
The scenery in front of him has suddenly changed.

The breeze blows the blades of grass, Ying Baoyue lowers her head and looks at the ground under her feet.

The ground is full of weeds, but it is no longer the grassland before.

Although she is not familiar with the geography of Xirong, Ying Baoyue is very sure that she has come to another grassland.

According to Ying Baoyue's prediction, after jumping from the swamp, he should go underground.As a result, the reality was completely different from her imagination, and the environment she was in was still on the ground.

According to her body sensation, she just jumped from a very high place while being held by Chunyu Ye.But she turned around and looked behind her, the swamp she fell from was not in the sky, it was still growing on the ground.

"If someone was by our side just now, they should be able to see us emerge from the swamp," Chunyu Ye laughed, "Isn't it interesting?"

She was really not used to Chunyu Ye who spoke like this.

Ying Baoyue didn't answer, but just looked up at the scene in front of her.

Just above a piece of wild grass, a temple suddenly appeared.

The appearance of this temple is actually very similar to the buildings in the Central Plains. It is not a tent, but a real house.Three palaces can be seen in the center, and there are countless small rooms on the left and right. The roads in the small rooms and the palaces are still covered with muddy swamps, and the mud is constantly bubbling and bubbling, which can be called ghostly.

Just as Ying Baoyue was looking at the buildings in front of him, a shrill scream suddenly came from a small room. The sound was so heartbreaking that Ying Baoyue's shoulders trembled.

"It's a common sound," Chunyu Ye said calmly, "Just get used to it."

After speaking, he walked towards the gate of the temple.

"and many more……"

Ying Baoyue watched him walk over carelessly, unable to conceal her shock, "Are there no guards here?"

Not to mention the guards, she didn't even see a single person.

"No," Chunyu Ye glanced back at her, and said calmly, "Do people who can walk here need guards to check?"

Without the inner support of the disciples of the Chanyuan, no one would be able to find the entrance, let alone cross the swamp to get here.

There are very few traitors among the disciples of the Chanyuan.

Chunyuye glanced at the small room where there were screams on both sides. The disciples of the Zen Academy who dared to be traitors were all there at this moment.

"Let's go." He stood still and glanced at the people behind her. "It's much more dangerous inside than outside, and no one will guard the outside. At least I've never seen anyone guarding the monastery."

Ying Baoyue took a deep breath, stepped forward, and followed him to the gate of the temple.

As Chunyu Ye said, the gate of this temple was empty, there were no guards, and there was no one other than them.

There was actually a decent plaque hanging on the gate. Ying Baoyue raised his head and found that the plaque was not written in Xirong language, but four vigorous seal characters.

"All beings are suffering."

Ying Baoyue's pupils shrank slightly, "This plaque..."

"It's been hanging there since I can remember." Chunyu Ye raised his head and glanced. "The Buddha Dharma came from the Central Plains, and this plaque seems to be the same."

Although he also thought it was funny to have such a plaque hanging in the Buddhist monastery, he didn't think it was a big deal when he got used to it.

"Did it come from the Central Plains..."

Ying Baoyue's eyes were complicated.

Buddhism is indeed not a local belief in Xirong. She originally thought that the monastery was just called a monastery, but she didn't expect this place to be a temple.

"Go in."

Chunyu Ye covered the door with his hand and pushed it violently.

With a creak, the door opened a crack.

The inside of the door was dark, Ying Baoyue's heart arose, and he followed Chunyu Ye and dodged into the door.

Bang, the heavy door closed behind the two of them.

……

……

After entering the monastery, Ying Baoyue's first feeling was desolation.

Looking at the dilapidated scene in front of her, she was very surprised.

The temple in front of me seemed to have been uninhabited for a long time. Not only was there no one in sight, but weeds were also growing in the cracks between the bricks.If Chunyuye hadn't brought her here, Ying Baoyue would have thought she had entered some wild temple by mistake.

No, it is not accurate to say that it is completely lifeless.

From the small rooms on both sides, there were still screams.Cooperating with the bleak scene in front of him, Ying Baoyue felt as if he had entered a ghost movie in a trance.

She took a deep breath, "Is there... no one in your monastery?"

It's fine if no one is watching the door, how come there is still no one in sight?

"At this time, most of the disciples should be underground," Chunyu Ye glanced at her, "Otherwise, why do you think I brought you here at this time?"

Besides, there are not many disciples staying in the monastery.

At least half of the disciples of the Chanyuan ran outside the Great Wall, and half of the remaining half went to the territories of various kings of Zhai, and the fewest people stayed inside the Chanyuan.

"underground?"

Ying Baoyue frowned, "Then what about the antidote? Isn't it also underground?"

"That's not true," Chunyu Ye narrowed his eyes, "I heard it was placed in these rooms on the ground."

After all, although these houses on the ground are dilapidated, they are superior in number and are very suitable for hiding things.

"I heard?" Ying Baoyue was taken aback, "You don't know the exact location of the antidote?"

"If you know, it won't be so troublesome." Chunyu Ye said lightly, "Of course I don't know."

"Then tonight we..."

"Same as before, I can only search one by one," Chunyu Ye said calmly, "But I have a rough estimate."

Ying Baoyue let out a sigh of relief, well, that's the only way to go.

"There are still four hours before dawn, we have to hurry up."

Chunyuye tiptoed to the small rooms on both sides, followed by Ying Baoyue.

With a creak, Chunyuye pushed open the first door.

……

……

"Still empty."

Two hours later, Chunyu Ye looked at another empty room full of cobwebs, his eyes gradually turned serious.

"Find the next one."

Ying Baoyue was about to move, but suddenly footsteps came from her ears.

"Come here!"

Chunyuye grabbed Ying Baoyue's shoulder violently and dragged her to another empty room.

Ying Baoyue hid in the crack of the door and watched the situation outside, and found two people in black robes and masks passing by.

Fortunately, the two seemed to be in a hurry, so they just passed by in a hurry, not noticing that someone was peeping in the next room.

"All the disciples of the Chanyuan wear masks?"

After the two left, Ying Baoyue asked curiously.

"Basically, we have to wear them," Chunyu Ye said, "so we often don't know what the other looks like."

From the perspective of cultivating and meticulous work, this method is very cautious, which can prevent the mud from being pulled out of the radish. Even if a Zen disciple is caught, he will not be able to betray more accomplices.

But if this is the case, does it also mean that the disciples of the Buddhist monastery can easily be impersonated?

"By the way, where did we find it just now? I didn't pay attention to this room before, have you looked for it?"

Chunyuye looked behind him, Ying Baoyue followed his gaze, and both of them froze at the same time.

Countless black shadows were printed on the walls of this room. Under the penetrating moonlight, all the black shadows had hideous faces and various poses.

"This is……"

Ying Baoyue was startled looking at those black shadows, she recognized the appearance of these statues.

These are all statues of Arhats.

More than a dozen arhats are squatting under the wall.
