Chen Shuqing's judgment was very correct. Although the Xintiandihui and his group arrived at Chengde Mansion early and searched for statues of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and the Eternal Night Forest on the hill near Chengde Summer Resort, they did not get what they wished after several days.

In fact, the statue of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva does exist. It is located on a hillside south of Chengde Mountain Resort and stands in the direction of Chengde Mountain Resort. However, unlike the large Buddha statues that are several feet tall, this Samantabhadra Bodhisattva is extremely small and is only two feet tall, and is very easy to be ignored.

On the second day after Pu Zixuan passed through the Great Wall, when the scorching sun was coming, the Xintiandihui teamed up with two people and started a search around Chengde Summer Resort.

This search finally made some achievements.

The combination of the statue of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva found is a man and a woman. The man is Hu Gu from the New World Association, and the woman is the former member of the Baoyiwei who joined them - Aunt Peng Si.

Hu Gu bent down and looked at the statue's face carefully while saying to himself: "Oh, I finally found it. But, is this Bodhisattva Samantabhadra Bodhisattva?"

Aunt Peng Si replied: "That's right, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva's mount is an elephant. But I didn't expect that it was such a small statue that made us find it difficult."

"Haha, just find it in front of Pu Zixuan's group." After receiving the affirmative reply, Hu Gu couldn't help but be happy and immediately looked at the root of the statue.

When he saw this, his face, which was originally smiling, suddenly became stiff again.

According to Wang Muyun, Ouyang Zhiguo "buried" the Eternal Night Forest under the statue. The word "buried" made everyone subconsciously believe that the statue should be built on a piece of soil. Once the statue is found, you only need to dig the soil at its root to see the box containing the Eternal Night Forest... However, below the statue is hard rock, and the rock is intact, and there is no trace of artificial damage at all.

Hu Gu looked at it for a long time but couldn't see any name, so he wondered: "Strange, there is a rock under the statue. Could it be that Ouyang Zhiguo buried the Eternal Night Forest in this rock?"

Aunt Peng Si pulled the corner of her mouth and said, "I'm sorry, Ouyang Zhiguo has never told me about this, so your doubts are mine. But with my understanding of Wang Muyun, what she said should not be false."

Hu Gu looked up at the scorching sun in the sky and sighed, "Oh, it's a pity. If Xiao Jue is still there, no matter whether he is true or not, he will use his spirit to take us into the rock and take a look at it. To be honest, we have long been used to the convenience that Xiao Jue brings us. After he passed away, we seemed to have lost one pair of eyes, and also one pair of hands and feet. In short, it feels like we are restricted everywhere..."

When she heard Xiao Jue's name, Aunt Peng was slightly stunned and frowned. After all, it was this person who finally took Ouyang Zhiguo into the underground and died together. Although she had no choice but to surrender to the Xintiandihui, she had a good relationship with Ouyang Zhiguo among the seven people of the Baoyiwei, so she could not have a good impression of Xiao Jue.

Hu Gu caught a glimpse of Aunt Peng Si's expression change, and immediately realized something. He smiled awkwardly and sighed: "Ah, it's so hot today..."

Aunt Peng Si snorted coldly and asked, "If you encounter a difficult situation, what will you do in the past? Should you report to the president, or can you decide on your own?"

"Our president, although he was a little determined a few days ago, since Xiao Jue's death, he seemed to be reflecting on himself. Over the past period of time, he has changed back to the enlightened style in the past..." After Hu Gu finished speaking, he suggested to Aunt Peng Si, "Or, let's smash this Bodhisattva and see what's underneath. If we find the Eternal Night Forest and take it back, the president will definitely be very happy. Our great cause will be achieved."

Aunt Peng Si did not comment and looked at the statue in a daze. After a while, he whispered: "If it were so simple, how could Ouyang Zhiguo put such a precious treasure here? In fact, although he did not explain to me all the secrets of Chengde Mountain Resort, he was happy once and couldn't help but say: 'Do you think that Chengde Mountain Resort is just for summer vacation? Don't underestimate the wisdom of the Jurchens, then there is a great reputation below."

"Below?" Hu Gu heard the key information in Aunt Peng Si's words and repeated it in confusion.

"Yes. He did say the usual sayings of 'below', not the 'inside'." Aunt Peng Si said as she stepped on the hard ground with her feet and said in a deep voice, "After that sentence, he probably realized that he had missed his mouth, so he didn't continue. Since everyone was not very interested in Chengde Summer Resort at that time, he thought Ouyang Zhiguo meant: the villa was not used for summer vacation, but another political center. But I always felt that he was hiding something, so when I was chatting, I took the initiative to ask him what his words meant."

Hu Gu teased: "If there is really any big secret, will he tell you?"

Aunt Peng Si smiled and said, "You don't know this. Although our Baoyiwei is a unified organization, nominally a spy organization that works for the royal family, it is not as good as the New World Association if we really have loyalty. Some people are forced to cooperate with the demon world because of being a purifying messenger, which hurts their self-esteem; while I don't like the Jurchens who disrupt my Central Plains culture. Therefore, I can often talk about the truth between Ouyang Zhiguo and I. For example, he decided to go to Shandong to find Tai Sui to become a demon, so he only told me one person."

"So, what did he tell you about Chengde Summer Resort?"

"He first smiled and said that this secret cannot be said. If he said it, it would be a death sentence. Later, he asked indirectly that everyone said that there are four demon kings in the world, but there is a demon king north of the Great Wall. Why has no one ever known his existence? This has something to do with the history of the Jurchens and the Chengde Summer Resort. Although he did not explain it very clearly, I think that what he said to bury the Eternal Night Forest under the statue of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva was not simply referring to the small rock or mud land below it, but there should be a larger space below the entire villa. As for what this space looks like, what it is for, and how it enters, it is unknown."

Hu Gu said in a daze: "Why did you make such a judgment?"

"Because Ouyang Zhiguo said that the demon king north of the Great Wall does exist, but we have been to Zhili for so long, but we have been unable to see this demonic aura, which means that the place where the demon king lives should be covered with small-leaf red beans. However, this Chengde Summer Resort has not even a small-leaf red bean tree, whether inside or around. So, I guess, would it be that the Jurchens built an underground palace or something below this ground, and used the wood of the small-leaf red beans to hide the demon king?"

Hu Gu smiled disdainfully and said, "After passing the Great Wall, there are so many places where the demon king can hide. Let's take a step back, even if it is true that he is hidden by Xiaoye Hongdou, then why must he be in Chengde Summer Resort? As far as I know, the plant Xiaoye Hongdou does not necessarily have to grow in the south, right?"

Aunt Peng Si snorted coldly and said, "You probably haven't found a problem yet, right?"

"What's the problem?" Monk Hu Gu Zhang Er was confused.

Aunt Peng Si did not answer and asked back, "Or how about you, can you feel my purifying power here?"

As soon as these words were said, Hu Gu immediately realized something and quickly focused on inquiring. After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Sure enough, not only can I not be able to detect the breath of your purification power, but also the breath of the President and the others, as well as the people of Pu Zixuan, can't be seen! We are now in an isolated state!"

Aunt Peng Si nodded and said, "Yes, I realized this problem just now after trying to sense your demonic energy but failed. The little red beans do exist, but they do not exist on the ground. There is only one possibility - they are all under our invisible feet!"
