The night was dark and the wind was biting.
In the graveyard outside the city, Ye Chen, who was taken away the day before, came back again. He was lying there motionless like a living dead.
Roar! Roar!
Soon, the beast's low roar sounded, and more than a dozen wild dogs came sniffing again. After sniffing, they found Ye Chen's side.
Immediately, more than a dozen wild dogs froze there collectively.
Who said dogs have no expressions? Their expressions are very strange. They squatted in a circle around Ye Chen. Because of this man, their teeth have not grown out yet.
At some point, a dozen wild dogs left with their tails between their legs. They couldn't chew Ye Chen's body, so they could only look for other things.
The night fell into silence.
After an unknown amount of time, while he was sleeping, his little finger trembled.
Then, he slowly opened his eyes, and the hazy night sky gradually became clear in his confused eyes.
The next moment, he sat up suddenly and kept looking around until he was sure that this was not Wuwu Daze. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. After all the hard work, he finally walked out of the place of death.
"The spiritual energy is so thin, this is the mortal world." Ye Chen murmured and slowly stood up.
Woohoo...! Woo woo woo... .!
Suddenly, he heard the sound of howling ghosts around him, which attracted his attention.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and saw dirty things that mortals couldn't see. They were lonely ghosts floating around here.
Involuntarily, he raised his palm, made sutras with one hand, and continued to utter complicated and difficult scriptures.
This is a scripture that can save people. It can save the resentment of lonely souls and wild ghosts and send them to reincarnation again.
Woo woo woo... .!
Such a voice still exists, but it continues to be annihilated. Ye Chen's saving scriptures form layers of ripples, with holy radiance shining. Wherever they pass, the lonely souls and wild ghosts are freed from the dissipation. .
After saving them, Ye Chen withdrew his handprint, turned around and left like this.
From a distance, he saw an ancient city. Thousands of feet away, he seemed to be able to see three big characters carved on the city wall: Forget the Ancient City.
He raised his feet and walked over. He needed to figure out where he was and how far away he was from the monk world.
The Wangugucheng Street in the middle of the night was empty, not as prosperous as imagined, quiet and comfortable.
The weather is dry and things are dry, so be careful about the fire!
The only thing Ye Chen could see was a man working the clock. At this moment, he was really walking on the street, curling up sometimes because the cold wind was raging and there was still a gloomy atmosphere in the air.
Without thinking much, his powerful spiritual consciousness instantly enveloped the entire ancient city, hoping to find a monk.
This is a powerful spiritual power. He has a panoramic view of everyone and everything in Forgotten City. Because of this, he saw some things that he shouldn't see, such as what the young couple was under the bed.
No monks!
Ye Chen frowned slightly and was about to step into the void.
However, just when he was about to take back his spiritual consciousness, his spiritual eyes scanned an ancient temple, well, to be more precise, it was a Guanyin Temple.
Subconsciously, he moved his steps one step at a time and disappeared with a whoosh.
Seeing this, the watchman not far away was stunned for a moment and subconsciously rubbed his eyes. The big living person was gone.
Ghost!
Soon, the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling resounded through the streets of Forgotten City, attracting a lot of abuse.
Here, Ye Chen has landed in an ancient temple.
In front of him was a stone statue with an incense burner placed under it. The incense burner was filled with musk. It seemed that many people came to pray for blessings. It represented the Bodhisattva and was worshiped by the world.
"Chu Xuan, are you saving all sentient beings?" Ye Chen spoke, looking at the stone statue, his voice was hoarse and dry.
The stone statue was cast lifelike, and every line was so clear, as if it were alive. It stood there with compassion on its face, just like the Bodhisattva of Salvation, who wanted to save all living beings.
It is a stone statue, but she is Chu Xuan.
Ye Chen smiled, with tears in his smile, which blurred his vision.
How could he, who was searching so hard, expect to meet Chu Xuan again, but it was a cold stone statue? He didn't know why the stone statue of Chu Xuan stood here, but he knew that Chu Xuan must have been here.
Who are you!
The peace in the temple was broken by a sudden sound.
At the door, an old man appeared there, rubbing his sleepy eyes. He was as thin as a monkey, wearing a tattered Taoist robe. He was an old Taoist priest.
Ye Chen turned around, first looked up and down at the old Taoist priest, and then asked, "Has the person in this stone statue been to Wanggu City before? When did he come, how long did he stay, and when did he leave."
"No, who are you! I..."
Snapped!
Before the old Taoist priest finished speaking, crisp applause rang out. The man was spun around three times by Ye Chen's slap, and then he fell to the ground.
"Answer my question." Ye Chen had already appeared in front of the old Taoist priest, his voice was cold and filled with irresistible majesty. His slap didn't matter, he made the old monk cry on the spot.
"She is a female monk." The old Taoist priest said in a daze, with runny nose and tears, "She came here last year, stayed for three days, cured the plague here, and then left."
After saying that, the old Taoist priest trembled all over, and then he realized that he was still standing in front of the door, not moving at all, and there was no burning feeling on his face. It was as if nothing had happened.
He was stunned for a moment and looked hurriedly not far away.
Ye Chen still stood there, with his back to him, quietly looking at Chu Xuan's stone statue. Everything before seemed like a dream.
Illusion... illusion!
The old Taoist priest woke up from his daze and knelt on the ground with a thud, "The little Taoist didn't know that the immortal was coming, so he asked the immortal to atone for his sins."
Ye Chen didn't answer and still stood quietly.
He did perform an illusion on the old Taoist priest before and got the answer he wanted. Chu Xuan had indeed been here. The reason why she was cast into a stone statue and worshiped was because she saved the people in Wangu City.
"She...she's here to find someone." Seeing Ye Chen's silence, the old Taoist priest spoke again. After saying this, he did not forget to steal a look at Ye Chen, for fear that he might say something wrong and offend the immortal.
Ye Chen stood quietly, still not answering.
Of course he knew that Chu Xuan was here to find someone, but wasn't she just here to find him
The night was extremely quiet, and the Guanyin Temple was also peaceful without any unnecessary noise.
Ye Chen stood there all night and never moved.
Dawn came, and Wanggu City ushered in a new day. Many mortals came together to pray, but they were all blocked by the old Taoist priests.
In this way, the sun and the moon change, and the day and night cycle.
It was not until the third night that Ye Chen, who had been standing there for three days, slowly turned around, coming and leaving quietly.
It was late at night again, and he was walking endlessly on the peaceful Forgotten City Street, reflecting the moonlight and stars. His lonely back was very desolate.
Zheng...!
Suddenly, the melodious sound of the piano sounded, causing him to stop slightly. His eyes subconsciously looked to one side, as if he could see a woman holding a pipa in the boudoir through many houses.
Such a familiar sound!
Ye Chen murmured, and the sound of the piano gurgled like water, coming from the deep valleys and mountains, with sadness and helplessness that made people want to shed tears.
Involuntarily, he took out the jug and found an old tree. He sat there, leaning against the trunk, quietly drinking strong wine and listening to the sad music until his eyes blurred and he fell into a deep sleep.
