Due to the distance, the people guarding at the foot of the mountain couldn't see the faces clearly.
Naturally, none of the words could reach their ears either.
Fu Zhen looked around and tugged at Pei Zhan's hand, "Let's change location, go up the mountain and have a look."
After speaking, the two of them stealthily moved to another direction under the shadow of the wall and circled up the mountain from the side.
What was called a "mountain" was actually just a small mound, said to be soil dug up when the lake was excavated, piled aside and became a mountain.
The monks thought it should not be wasted, so they planted trees and built houses on it, thus making it a part of the temple complex.
The people down the mountain evidently didn't enclose the entire mountain but only guarded the paths at its two ends.
Fu Zhen and Pei Zhan entered from the side through the bushes, tiptoeing towards where the lantern's light was.
