Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2460 Underground Palace

"Is this really here?"

Ying Baoyue and Li Ji, who transformed into palace maids and eunuchs, followed Chu Yan down the damp and dark steps step by step.

"Every time I delivered food to that noble man before, I would go here."

Chu Yan wore Qin Qin armor and walked down step by step with a torch. "Of course, if you don't believe me, it's best to leave now. It's very dangerous down here."

Ying Baoyue and Li Ji looked at each other with complicated expressions.

Ying Baoyue did not expect to meet Chu Yan at the gate of Ganlu Hall. The last time she and the Zen dean were separated in the Zen Hall was not long ago. At that time, they were completely unaware of their location and identity.

But in just half a month, they actually met again in Afang Palace, thousands of miles away.

She dressed up as a palace maid, and Chu Yan actually became the imperial guard of the Former Qin Dynasty. This is a bit ironic.

The place where Chu Yan brought them was under the secret door on the side of Ganlu Hall. Ying Baoyue remembered that this place was originally a secret passage to her master's study. She was initially shocked when Chu Yan led them to this location, but after entering the secret door, she found that the underground layout had completely changed.

"Why does this corridor look a bit like..."

"Did you notice?"

Chu Yan held up the torch and turned around, "It's exactly the same as the passage outside the secret room where your other half was imprisoned before."

Ying Baoyue's heart skipped a beat.

"I was shocked when I first saw this place. The secret room collapsed after you left, but it was moved here somehow."

Ying Baoyue didn't know what expression to use when facing this young man who had formed a fate with her soul, and spoke softly.

"You know it all?"

"Well," Chu Yan turned around, his expression very calm.

He was happy for her from the bottom of his heart that the soul that had been imprisoned in the underground of the monastery for eight years could finally leave that place.

He knew very well that the flame never belonged to that place from the beginning, just like that girl could never belong to him.

"Congratulations, Master Siming, for finally finding your soul."

Ying Baoyue didn't know how to answer, so she could only nod, "Thank you."

"Don't thank me," Chu Yan looked towards the front of the dark corridor with complicated eyes, "I don't know if the place I will take you to will help you or kill you."

When he met Ying Baoyue in front of Ganlu Hall, he noticed that both she and Li Ji had sealed their acupuncture points with golden needles, and their condition was no different from ordinary people.

Under such circumstances, the two of them planned to meet Ying Hanri with bare hands. He really didn't know whether they were being bold or seeking death.

"It doesn't matter," Ying Baoyue looked at the corridor ahead, "I'm asking you for help. Life or death has nothing to do with you."

Without Chu Yan, the elder of the Zen monastery, to lead the way, she could only forcefully break into the Ganlu Hall and ask the unidentified Zen monastery disciples to take her to see Ying Hanri. In this case, I don't know if it would be possible.

Compared to the unfamiliar Zen disciples, Chu Yan was obviously more reliable.

"Don't believe me so much," Chu Yan smiled faintly, "Don't forget that I am a lackey of the Zen Academy, and I may be leading you into a trap."

Li Ji, who was following Ying Baoyue, was startled and raised his head to look warily at the man leading the way.

Chu Yan noticed Li Ji's vigilance, but didn't care. He pointed to a secret door dozens of steps away, "We're almost there, that's where it is."

"Is there a secret room in there? Is Ying Hanri locked in there?" Ying Baoyue asked.

"The secret room... I can't say that," Chu Yan's eyes flickered, "It's very big inside, and I haven't actually gone in to see them all. I usually lead the disciples to carry the food to the door and then leave. ”

"lift?"

Ying Baoyue keenly caught the word in Chu Yan's words, "Aren't you just delivering food to him alone?"

Chu Yan suddenly stopped and Ying Baoyue almost hit his back.

"Chu Yan?"

"I'm afraid not," Chu Yan turned around. Under the dimming firelight, the man's eyes were a little dull, "Did I not make it clear just now outside? Ying Hanri is not locked up underground alone." " I don’t know how many people are in the hall.”

"I was just delivering food when I vaguely heard someone calling Your Majesty from deep in the room."

In the entire Epang Palace, the only person who can be called "Your Majesty" is probably Ying Hanri.

"You said the main hall, is there a palace behind that door?"

Ying Baoyue's heart tightened, and Chu Yan began to walk forward. He stopped in front of the iron gate and looked deeply at Ying Baoyue.

"There is indeed a palace and a throne, but I don't know who is sitting on the throne."

Chu Yan took out a key from his arms and unlocked the door, but instead of pushing the door open, he stepped aside.

"I have the mark of a Zen monastery disciple in my body. As soon as I step inside, I will be discovered by the people inside. It's not time to deliver food, so I can't go in anymore."

Ying Baoyue took a deep breath, walked to the iron door, and reached out to hold the door handle.

"Wait, Huoyue!"

Li Ji grabbed her hand from behind and said, "It's too dangerous! I'd better wait for the meal delivery time and mix in with the disciples of the Zen Academy!"

"There was no one guarding the way we just came. It's so suspicious!"

Chu Yan glanced at him and said, "This place is full of Zen Academy disciples inside and outside. All the Zen Academy disciples have marks on their bodies. Who do you think needs to be guarded?"

Ying Baoyue looked at the iron gate in front of her. Of course she knew what she was seeing was suspicious, but she had no choice now.

She looked at the dark door in front of her and glanced at Chu Yan standing by the door.

Chu Yan maintained a faint smile on his face, his face extremely blurred in the dim light.

If you don't look carefully, no one will notice that there is a very small red dot deep in his pupils.

Ying Baoyue closed her eyes, held Li Ji's hand, and quickly drew the word "escape" on Li Ji's palm where Chu Yan couldn't see it.

Li Ji's wrist trembled, and he looked at Ying Baoyue with wide eyes in astonishment.

If you hesitate just once, it's too late.

The iron door under Ying Baoyue suddenly opened, and a gust of cold wind blew in, sucking the two of them in!

With a bang, the iron door closed tightly, blocking everything out.

The torch in Chu Yan's hand was blown out by the wind behind the closed door. He looked at the closed iron door indifferently and reached out to tear off his left ear.

A red dot squirmed under where his ear should have been, as if alive in the darkness.

Bang.

"Chu Yan" closed his eyes and fell down outside the iron gate.

……

……

Ying Baoyue and Li Ji barely stabilized their bodies, stood with their backs to the closed iron door, and looked up into the deep space in front of them.

This is a deep underground palace.

Ying Baoyue looked at this place and suddenly felt that it looked familiar.

Suddenly, she remembered where she had seen this place.

Ying Baoyue's heart beat violently under her chest.

It is the Mausoleum of the Qin Emperor.

This place was exactly the same as the underground palace of the Imperial Tomb that she saw after waking up at the foot of Mount Li!
