Xie Yingnan retracted his long legs, which had nowhere to go, and squatted on the wall like Gingerbread, stroking his chin in thought, "A place that Buddhist disciples consider inviolable."
He hesitated for a few moments.
His grey pupils lit up. "A Buddha statue?"
Gingerbread nodded. "Yes."
"Third senior brother, do you remember the largest Buddha statue?"
“I remember.” Xie Yingnan recalled the route that Ghost Buddha had led them in. “You were quite shocked when you saw it. That Buddha statue was carved from black ghost stone.”
A Buddha statue as black as ink.
It's indescribably eerie.
Gingerbread was indeed slightly surprised.
"If we were to choose a location for a secret base, I'd guess the mechanism would be hidden in a Buddha statue."
"You're amazing, you little fool." Xie Yingnan's eyes lit up with a hint of arrogance as he nudged Jiang Bingbing's shoulder. "Let's go, let's go."
"Senior brother, please wait."
She looked up, and a black line appeared on the back of her head.
A row of ghost cultivator soldiers stood in front of them.
"Peacock, can't you see these ghost cultivators?" Gingerbread Man was dumbfounded. "From where we figured out where the thing was hidden, they've been standing right here."
A row of ghost cultivators: ...You know we're here.
They thought neither of them could see it.
Xie Yingnan waved his hand and said matter-of-factly, "It's not even a stumbling block, so of course I can't see it."
Ghost Cultivator Soldier: Have some decency.
Two pure black demonic horns sprouted from Xie Yingnan's head, and his pupils turned crimson.
"Shrimp soldiers and crab generals, look at me, look at me!"
The ghost cultivator soldier instinctively looked up.
Xie Yingnan's red pupils flickered.
The pupils of the row of ghost cultivators flickered.
Xie Yingnan pointed to a corner of the yard, "Go dig a hole there, and stop when it gets light."
Those ghost cultivators seemed like manipulated puppets.
He remained silent.
They lined up and squatted down in the corner.
Then.
He plunged his hands into the mound of earth and began to dig and dig.
"Wow, Peacock, you have this skill too?"
Xie Yingnan strode around, laughing and boasting, "My mother is a succubus, so I was born with this ability in my blood."
"Impressive, impressive. So the White Fox Enchantment Technique you used in the City Lord's Mansion was intentional?"
Gingerbread, with its short legs, tried its best to catch up with Xie Yingnan.
"Cough, um... of course..."
Xie Yingnan gave a vague and incoherent answer.
In fact, he was indeed bewitched by the white fox that time. As the saying goes, "He who walks by the river will eventually get his shoes wet." The truth must not be known to his junior sister, otherwise he would lose face in the Eastern Continent Demon Realm.
It was a dark and windy night.
This is precisely the time when fools cause trouble.
Xie Yingnan and Jiang Bingbing ran past the window of the main hall of the temple like a gust of wind.
Inside the hall.
Guifozi and Fenjue had a very pleasant conversation.
Gui Fuzi put down his wine cup and caught a glimpse of two heads flashing past the window out of the corner of his eye.
His lips, which he tried so hard to keep straight, twitched twice involuntarily.
Are these two senior and junior students growing heads to appear taller?
Do you have to be so obvious when you're doing petty theft?
How else do you expect him to release water?
Fen Jue naturally saw it too, raised his wine cup, and said calmly, "Brother Wu Xiang, continue."
The two of them knew perfectly well what the two outside were doing, but they pretended not to know.
They continued acting.
In the temple courtyard, Jiang Bingbing and Xie Yingnan, who had already been discovered, ran past the main hall.
"They probably didn't notice, right?" She gasped for breath, her hands resting on her lap.
Xie Yingnan smiled confidently, "We ran so fast, they definitely didn't notice."
"Hahaha!" Gingerbread laughed with even more confidence than her senior brother. "I think so too."
The two disciples finally found the location of the Buddha statue.
Xie Yingnan crossed his arms and walked around the Buddha statue three times. "Junior Sister, do you think Wei Zhuo is an idiot?"
Wei Zhuo is the secular name of Gui Fozi.
Gingerbread clicked his tongue and shook his head, his voice full of goodwill, "Senior brother, your insults were really harsh."
“I wreak havoc in the ghost market every month, but I still can’t get into the Ghost Palace. Yet he proactively invited you to be his guest and didn’t even chase me away.” Xie Yingnan became increasingly suspicious. “And then, inside the Ghost Palace, we found the Buddha statue so easily—”
He paused here, raised his arm, and pointed to the paper strip pasted on the Buddha statue's finger.
The note read "Secret Room Switch" in large characters.
"Do you think he's an idiot or just sick?"
Gingerbread looked constipated. "This is too abstract. Could it be—"
"What did you say? He deliberately set a trap for us. If we had pressed that mechanism, you and I would have died a violent death?"
"Could it be that he has a crush on you?!" Gingerbread has already read the random reply.
"..." Xie Yingnan gave Jiang Bingbing a hard flick on the forehead. "Get lost!"
"Who cares, I'm going to jump in whether it's a trap or not." She leaped backward, "Third Senior Brother, you go first!"
"......"
Xie Yingnan couldn't come up with a solution even after brainstorming.
Just like my junior sister said, even if it's a trap, you have to get through it.
What if we actually find it inside?
Xie Yingnan stepped onto the lotus base, tore off the paper strip, and prepared to pry the Buddha's fingers off with his bare hands. Just to be on the safe side, he put on a defensive array for himself.
After pressing the button.
The black Buddha statue rotated with a clicking sound, revealing a dark tunnel beneath its base.
Xie Yingnan: "It really opened."
Gingerbread chuckled and urged, "Senior brother, hurry up and go in. I'll wait for you upstairs."
"Hey, hey—"
She stumbled and was pulled in by the peacock.
Xie Yingnan said sternly, "Don't scold me yet. Add 100,000 spirit stones and come down with me."
Gingerbread obediently kept its mouth shut.
Money makes the world go round, and that's 100,000 high-grade spirit stones—it's worth the risk for her.
Aside from being dark and cold, the tunnel wasn't anything special; there were no bloody or sticky foreign objects.
There was no strange smell.
Xie Yingnan did not ignite the fire at his fingertips.
Instead, he took out a luminous pearl the size of a watermelon.
The places they passed through were illuminated as brightly as day.
The tunnel was empty.
You can clearly hear the footsteps of two people.
Gingerbread asked in a low voice, "Senior brother, what exactly is Ghost Buddha up to?"
Xie Yingnan's smile was flamboyant, his deep-set eyes full of unbridled arrogance. "Whatever his idea is, don't worry, if there's any danger, I'll protect you even if it means self-destruction."
I never expected the peacock to be so unreliable.
He's quite loyal in crucial moments.
Xie Yingnan also found it strange. Only Wei Zhuo knew his mother's secret before. Now, his foolish junior sister Xianyu Peak knew both the secret of him joining the immortal sect as the son of the Demon Lord and the secret of his mother being killed by that old man.
It seems this little girl knows a bit too much.
Should he scare her a little?
As Gingerbread was walking slowly, Xie Yingnan suddenly turned around, his narrow eyes staring at her with a sinister look.
Gingerbread: "?"
"You little fool, if you dare to tell anyone the secret, I'll tear you to pieces, you know?"
In the end.
He even drew a dagger from his waist, licked it with his tongue, and said viciously, "Your senior brother here is very bloodthirsty."
Gingerbread: ......
You're insane!
