Big Moon Ballad

"Where is this place, you will know when you go in."

Chu Yan reached out to caress the finger marks on the wall, his fingertips trembled for a moment.

Ying Baoyue noticed this detail and couldn't help but startled.

"Really, you will know when you go in."

Chu Yan repeated it, biting his lip, as if pressing his heart, he pressed the mechanism on the wall.

"wait!"

Ying Baoyue's hasty voice failed to stop everything, the bricks in front of him gradually separated, and a dark corridor appeared in front of everyone.

"This place is..."

A gust of cold wind blew out from the tunnel, Ji Jiashu, Xu Yishan, Chen Zichu and the others stared blankly at the black hole in front of them, feeling horrified.

The hole in front of me seemed to lead to the ground, with no end in sight.

But the most terrifying thing is the breath coming from this cave.

Ji Jiashu didn't know how to describe this feeling. There was an instinct in his heart that told him that the place leading to this tunnel was not simple.

He couldn't help looking at Ying Baoyue beside him, but the moment he saw Ying Baoyue's side face, he froze.

Along the way, he and her have gone through countless dangerous situations, and each time they faced danger and narrowly escaped death, but no matter how frightening the situation, how strange monsters, Ying Baoyue was always able to remain unbelievably calm.

Ji Jiashu had never seen Ying Baoyue like this.

Ying Baoyue stood beside him, her face as pale as snow.

She fixedly stared at the corridor in front of her, her eyes were empty, like a puppet.

Even when she broke into the Eight Beast God's lair, Ji Jiashu had never seen her look like this before.

"Embrace the moon? Embrace the moon!"

His heart seemed to be pinched by a big hand, his heart beat faster, and he reached out and grabbed Ying Baoyue's shoulder.

"Jia Shu?"

Ying Baoyue regained consciousness from his blank eyes, and stared blankly at him.

Ji Jiashu looked at her and slowly opened his eyes wide.

"Baoyue, what's wrong with you?"

Ying Baoyue's eyes were tired and fragile, as if he had just experienced an injury covered with bruises.

"I am fine."

Ying Baoyue closed her eyes, concealed her inner thoughts, and looked at Chu Yan, "Elder Chu, if you don't tell me what this place is, I won't go in."

"Wait, did you see something?"

Chu Yan was also a little surprised by Ying Baoyue's reaction, and he couldn't help squinting his eyes.

Could it be that……

"Nothing at all."

Ying Baoyue lowered her eyelashes, "I am in a hurry to save someone, Elder Chu, is Du Ziqing down here?"

"If you don't tell the truth again, I don't think we have anything to say between us."

This person's behavior is so dishonest, there is no need for her to follow him and be at the mercy of this person for nothing.

Chu Yan looked at her with a twinkle in his eyes.

"No, he's not here."

Ying Baoyue clenched his fists, "Then why did you bring me here?"

"Because this is a place that is very important to you."

Chu Yan looked towards the tunnel ahead, "All the questions you had about yourself in the past can be solved as long as you walk down."

"What does this mean?"

Before Ying Baoyue responded, Ji Jiashu's eyes widened suddenly, "What's hiding under here? Why is it related to Baoyue's past?"

my past?

Ying Baoyue lowered her head to think about something, but when she heard Ji Jiashu's words, she suddenly raised her head,
"Jia Shu, you..."

Why did Ji Jiashu mention her past?What did he know?
"I..." Ji Jiashu suddenly felt a slip of the tongue, and stayed where he was.

"Hey, hey, what kind of riddles are you all playing?"

Chen Zichu looked at the three people who were frozen at the entrance of the cave, confused.

But no one answered him.

Ying Baoyue closed her eyes, feeling extremely complicated.

It turned out to be the case.

She kept walking, but ignored the people around her.

How can someone who can become the Sixth Prince of the Warring States Period be a fool?
He was just willing to be a fool for her.

"Baoyue," Ji Jiashu took a deep breath, "We'll talk about the matter between us later, since it's about your past, then it's up to you to decide whether you want to go down or not."

Chu Yan's fingertips trembled slightly, looking at the eyebrows of the girl beside him.

His long-cherished wish so far is about to come true.

He wished he could knock Ying Baoyue unconscious and take him down.

"Do not."

"what?"

Ying Baoyue's voice rang in his ears, and Chu Yan couldn't believe his ears.

"What did you say?"

"I won't go down, Elder Chu, according to our agreement, first take me to where Du Ziqing is."

"you……"

Chu Yan grabbed the sword hilt at his waist violently, and the blue veins on his forehead burst out.

"There is no danger down here! I swear on my life!"

Ji Jiashu stood in front of Ying Baoyue with his sword vigilantly, "Then what are you doing!"

"It's okay, Kazuki."

Ying Baoyue pushed him away and walked up to Chu Yan, "Elder Chu, thank you for bringing me to this place."

Chu Yan was startled.

"This is indeed a very important place to me," Ying Baoyue said calmly, "but this place is also very important to the Buddhist monastery, isn't it?"

Chu Yan was taken aback, "You mean..."

"Seeing that you are very familiar with this place, I'm afraid you don't know it?"

Ying Baoyue looked far away, "If this place collapses, the whole Buddhist monastery will also be destroyed, right?"

The body of the Chanyuan is in the underground palace, and the underground palace is deep in the ground, and the place where Chu Yan brought them is the deepest part of the Zenyuan.

Although she hasn't entered it yet, Ying Baoyue knows very well that this place is the lifeblood of the monastery.

Once destroyed, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Elder Chu, do you want to drag everyone to die together?"

Chu Yan clenched his fists, and the mud pool appeared in front of his eyes.

Although he still doesn't know what will happen when Ying Baoyue enters the ground, if the fire disappears and the black mud pool guarded by the fire goes out of control, all the black mud hidden underground will rush out, flooding the Zen courtyard, and even drowning... …Everything.

Even he didn't know how much black mud Yun Zhongjun had hoarded in the ground of the Buddhist monastery.

"so what?"

Chu Yan suddenly smiled, "She has been waiting for you for a long time."

For the sake of the so-called common people, for the sake of the so-called world, does this woman not care about herself at all?
"I won't keep her waiting too long."

Ying Baoyue said softly, "I came here for her this time."

For those who want her to come alive.

"I want to live, but that doesn't mean the price is other people's death."

Ji Jiashu and the others were still by her side, and Du Ziqing hadn't been rescued yet, so she couldn't act rashly in this situation.

Once she goes underground, no one knows what will happen.

more importantly……

The black lake she saw in front of Du Ziqing's house appeared before Ying Baoyue's eyes.

She had a hunch that Du Ziqing might have a way to control the black mud.

That old man has been fighting alone in Dingling for so many years, it is impossible for him to achieve nothing.The reason why the Chanyuan attacked him and Manu was not that simple.

"Chu Yan, where is Du Ziqing?"

Chu Yan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"I'll take you."
