Chapter 231 The Maid of the Three Wars, Faxiang Temple

[You look at the row of ancient spell books on the desk, your expression extremely tangled. 】

[After a long time, when the deputy palace master couldn't help but want to speak and urge, you slowly shook your head, indicating that you didn't want to exchange spells yet. 】

['Deputy Palace Master of the Fire Worshiping Yixie Palace' was shocked when he heard this, and quickly asked, is it because there are too many onmyoji techniques, causing the foreign mage not to know which one to choose? 】

[If so, I can give you a detailed introduction for your reference. 】

[You continue to shake your head, claiming that the spells recorded in these ancient books are of great value. You want to exchange all the spells, but you only have one book recording the spells with you for exchange, so you are so entangled. 】

[If the deputy palace master is not in a hurry, can he arrange a sleeping palace for you and give you pen, ink, paper and inkstone...]

[Keep all the spells you have learned in your mind. It only takes you a few days to record all the spells in a book for exchange...]

['Deputy Palace Master of Yixie Palace of Fire Worshipers' was overjoyed when he heard this. He thought he could only get one exotic spell, but now you say that you can record all the spells you have learned. This was far beyond its expectation and an unexpected surprise. 】

[The deputy palace master quickly summoned two beautiful female maids, Onmyoji, to arrange a private bedroom for you. 】

[It bluntly stated that it would never disturb the foreign mage in the past few days. If the mage has any requirements for food, clothing, housing and transportation, he can ask the two maids. They can meet any of your needs! 】

[You nodded slightly and bid farewell to the delighted Deputy Palace Master. 】

[The two waitresses smile lightly at you, twist their waists and lead you away...]

[On the way to the dormitory, people from the Yixie Palace came and went. 】

[But this time they did not look at you with hatred and resentment, but looked at you with awe, and even a few passing Onmyojis bowed to you...]

[Obviously it was your guidance at the ‘Shikigami Assembly’ that allowed the Onmyoji to see the power of foreign mages. 】

【……】

[The dormitory hall is located in the corner of the palace city, with many rockeries and gurgling water, and the environment is very quiet. 】

[Two maids lead you into the bedroom, where you can see the exquisite furnishings, with pens, ink, paper and inkstones already placed on the table. 】

[They are standing on the left and right sides of the table, quietly waiting for your orders...]

[What’s your next move? 】

[1. Send two maids to spread paper and grind ink for you. Only when you have red sleeves to add fragrance can you splash ink and write down foreign magic techniques. 】

[2. Order the two maids to make the bed and take off their clothes to go to bed. You need to clear your body of distracting thoughts so that you can better devote yourself to writing. 】

[3. Instruct the two maids to stay here. You want to go sightseeing outside the palace alone. You need to collect inspiration from the scenery before you can compile a book of exotic spells. 】

Lin Xun sneered. According to the nature of the underworld game, can he expect the president to transfer his skills into a skill book?

Obviously it is impossible. Even if the president works for a few days and records the knowledge and spells in a book, it will definitely not be turned into a skill book and will have no exchange value.

He decisively pressed the third option.

[You bluntly said that you want to leave the palace alone and visit Qianhui City to draw inspiration for writing...]

[The two waitresses lowered their heads and whispered softly that the foreign mage was not familiar with the place here and it was very inconvenient to visit the beautiful scenery. 】

[If the mage insists on going, he must wait until they report to the deputy palace master first, then prepare all the carriages and horses, and summon the warriors to escort him to protect the mage's safety. 】

"This is tantamount to house arrest..."

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes.

Even if he could leave Yixie Palace, there would still be a group of warriors following him, which would be very inconvenient for him to carry out his plans later.

But if he leaves forcefully at this time, it would be tantamount to breaking up with Yi Xie Gong, and the matter has not yet progressed to this point.

[Are you going to leave by force, let the maid report your trip, or make a new choice? 】

He thought for a while and then pressed reselect.

Then among the three options, select the second option ‘Go to bed’.

[You look outside the palace, it’s already sunset...]

[You said solemnly, it’s getting late now. It’s quite tiring to participate in the ‘Shikigami Ceremony’ today, so you need to rest early. 】

[The two maids understood the words and smiled shyly. One came to the bed to tidy up the bedding, and the other quietly closed the bedroom door...]

[After a while, the two waitresses took off their clothes, revealing their beautiful figures. 】

[The two women lie on the bed, waiting for the foreign mage to rush into battle. 】

[You laugh loudly and rush forward...]

【……】

[After a long time, the work is over... Under the service of two slightly tired maids, you put on the robe with satisfaction and feel refreshed. 】

[The clouds and rain have just begun to subside, what is your next move? 】

Three familiar options popped up in front of me again, namely writing a book, sleeping in, and playing.

Lin Xun grinned and pressed the second option again.

[You look out the window and see the sky getting dark...]

[You said solemnly, you still have not finished the battle just now, and there are still many killing moves that you will have time to show in the future. Let the Yingluo girl show them off today! 】

[After saying that, he pounced on him again. 】

[The two women stared at each other helplessly...]

【……】

[After a long time, it's over... Under the service of two very tired waitresses, you put on the robe with an expressionless face, feeling that it was boring. 】

[You feel a little tired. 】

[When the clouds and rain stop, what will be your next move? 】

Lin Xun took a deep breath and pressed the second option again.

[You look out the window and see the moon and stars...]

[You said in a deep voice, "Zhuangzhi eats Japanese meat when hungry, laughs and drinks Japanese pirate blood when thirsty, let's fight again!" 】

[In the horrified eyes of the two women, you move forward without hesitation! 】

【……】

[After a long time, it was over...the two exhausted waitresses had fallen asleep. 】

[You shivered and put on the robe, feeling as though your steps were hollow, as if your body had been hollowed out. 】

【You feel very tired! 】

[The rain has stopped and the clouds have stopped, what is your next move? 】

The options in front of me have changed, from three options to two options.

The first option is still writing a book, but the second option of sleeping in has disappeared, and the original third option has also changed.

[2. Quietly leave the dormitory, take the opportunity to slip out of Yixie Palace, and visit Qianhui City. 】

Lin Xun smiled with satisfaction.

The spies planted by the two deputy palace masters were eliminated without hesitation, and the results were very gratifying, except for the hard work of President Fa Ye.

If it were an earth giant, he would probably have killed the enemy to the point of losing his armor, and he would not be a little tired.

However, Master Fa's weak body can achieve such results, which is already an extraordinary performance.

[You are possessed by the body of the ‘fire-worshiping Heartless Chunin’! 】

[You turned around, formed a seal with your hands, and opened a dark eye. 】

[The ninja in black tights disappeared in place...]

[You quietly walked to the window, jumped out of the dormitory. 】

[You remain invisible and circle back to the door of the dormitory...]

[At the door of the dormitory, two onmyojis wearing hunting clothes appeared at some point. They were guarding the door on one left and one on the right. 】

[While on guard, the two Onmyojis were leaning on the door and listening, and the sound of discussion floated over...]

[Good boy, this foreign mage is so fierce. 】

[That is, he can still fight three times with one against two, which is really a role model for our generation. 】

[Can exotic spells also help in bed matters? 】

[Ah... Then Yi Xie Palace made a lot of money? As long as the deputy palace master can exchange for exotic spells, he must study hard for anything. 】

[This is just a guess, and there is no movement inside. I think the foreign mage is exhausted and unable to fight anymore. 】

[Hmm, um, that makes sense...it's just a pity that the two deputy palace lords' personal maids, oh, why can't such a good thing happen...]

[You come to your senses, continue to remain invisible, and walk cautiously outside the palace. 】

[At night, there are many fewer people in Yixie Palace along the way. 】

[If you look at the styles of their hunting clothes, they are all low-level or mid-level onmyojis. None of these low-level onmyojis can detect you when you are invisible. 】

【……】

[Soon you will see the gate of the palace city, and you will see that the two sides of the strict gate are connected with tall city walls. 】

[There are still many warriors guarding the portal, but there are two more high-ranking Onmyoji holding talismans than before. 】

[Your heart tightened and you stared at the talisman in the Onmyoji's hand from a distance, feeling a faint sense of vigilance. 】

[Do you want to continue to remain invisible and pass through the palace gate? 】

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes.

These two high-ranking onmyojis were probably sent by the deputy palace master to prevent him from escaping secretly.

There is a high chance that he will be discovered if he continues to walk through the main entrance. If he is discovered, the guard over him will only become tighter.

[You did not go straight to the main entrance, but walked along the tall palace wall to one side. 】

[The city wall is tall and majestic under the clear moonlight, and there are squads of fully armed warriors patrolling and guarding it with torches, and the protection is very tight. 】

[Calculate the height of the city wall. Even if you are a chuunin, you will not be able to jump over such a high wall...]

[If you want to climb with bare hands, the inner and outer walls of the city wall are extremely smooth, so it is obviously impossible to do it, unless you are climbing while chiseling at the city wall to create a leverage point. 】

[However, the huge noise that will undoubtedly be made by chiseling the city wall will definitely attract the attention of the patrolling warriors. 】

[For a moment, you fell into deep thought...]

"Tsk...it's time to get stuck again."

There are many ways to cross the city wall, such as letting the Valkyrie fly, or using the dragon transformation to fly over yourself.

You can also transform into an earth giant and climb over the city wall, giving the warriors a taste of the fear of being dominated by giants.

However, these methods will be discovered. If you want to leave the palace in secret, you have to find other ways.

Lin Xun thought about it, looking for a solution.

Seeing that the duration of invisibility is running out, if he can no longer leave the palace, he will be discovered when he reveals himself.

Faced with this situation, he thought calmly and opened the inventory to look for clues.

Not long after, Lin Xun's eyes lit up and he saw a piece of special ninja equipment.

['Ninja hook' (special equipment): A hook made of fine iron with a long rope at the end. It can be used to swing the hook to buildings that are difficult for ordinary people to climb, such as city walls, attics, and high eaves. Climbing it is one of the must-have climbing tools for ninjas. 】(from Chapter 209)

This special piece of equipment was discovered after killing the chuunin on the sea of ​​Ukai Island.

While the body is invisible, the equipment it holds will also enjoy the blessing of invisibility, so there is no need to worry about the embarrassing incident of throwing out an invisible hook.

The only thing I need to worry about is that throwing the metal hook onto the city wall will definitely make a sound, and I don't know if it will attract the attention of the warriors.

The current invisibility time was about to end, and Lin Xun had no time to think about it carefully, so he could only give him a try!

[You are equipped with a ‘ninja hook’ (special equipment)! 】

[You take advantage of the patrolling samurai team to stay slightly away... and throw the hook high with a wave of your hand! 】

[Years of ninja training have made you experienced, and the hook accurately hooked the top of the city wall...but the metal hook inevitably made a slight crunching sound when it came into contact with the rock wall of the city wall. 】

[The last warrior in the patrol team suddenly turned around and looked at the place where the noise came from, frowning tightly. 】

[It left the patrol team and went forward to observe, only to see nothing on top of the city wall under the moonlight. 】

[The warrior wanted to take a closer look, but was scolded by the leading warrior and could only return to the team and continue patrolling. 】

[You quickly climb up the city wall along the hook rope...]

[Seeing that the patrol team has reached the end, they are about to turn around and return here. 】

[You overlook the outside of the palace city. In the night, the thousands of houses in Qianhui City are brightly lit, the buildings are brightly lit, and it is a magnificent scene. 】

[You take two steps back and jump off the towering city wall...]

【……】

[When you landed on the ground, you rolled along to remove the impact of falling from a high place and did not suffer any damage. This is really easy for you as a chuunin. 】

[You walk forward quickly and hide under the shadow of a house’s eaves. 】

[The invisibility duration of your ‘Purple Mist Escape Technique’ is exhausted, and the ninja’s figure is revealed. 】

Now he has successfully left the ‘Yixie Palace’ without attracting anyone’s attention.

The two maids in the dormitory endured three heart-wrenching battles one after another, and it was estimated that they would not be able to get up until dawn.

There is plenty of time left for exploration, as long as we can return to Yixie Palace before dawn.

Lin Xun put on the 'Night Phantom Cloak' on the ninja body, then equipped it with the 'Golden Roc Raptor Claw', and started to explore.

[You rush to Wu Zhi Shrine according to the direction and location you learned before...]

[Black lanterns are hung from house to house along the way. There are still many people coming and going on the streets at night, which is much more prosperous than 'Fukang City'. 】

【……】

[You walk quickly towards the direction of the ‘Wuzhi Shrine’...]

[A large temple passing by catches your attention. 】

[This is a large, dilapidated temple. If it weren’t for the ‘Absolute Border Guarding the Ten Directions’ that surrounds the temple and shines goldenly in the night, you would probably ignore this place. 】

[If you look carefully, you can see the prosperity and grandeur of the past from the high walls surrounding the temple. 】

[It’s just that today’s temple entrance is cold and dilapidated, and even the plaque of ‘Faxiang Temple’ hanging on the door is mottled and disfigured. 】

[Outside the temple gate, a heavily armed warrior leaned against the barrier and dozed off, snoring loudly. 】

[Pedestrians occasionally turn their eyes to the temple, their dark eyes full of disdain and hatred. 】

[You stepped forward and patted the warrior on the shoulder. He suddenly woke up and thought it was a superior inspection, so he stood up quickly. 】

[When it became clear that the person in front of me was a ninja dog with its head hidden and its tail exposed, it couldn't help but angrily scolded...]

[Go away, don’t disturb my sleep. If you want to see the ‘remnants of evil spirits’ in the cage, you’ll have to pay to go in tomorrow morning! 】

[You can’t help but frown when you hear this. 】

[What should you do? 】

[1. Leave the dilapidated temple and continue to the ‘Wuzhi Shrine’. When you have free time during the day, come to the ‘Faxiang Temple’ again. 】

[2. Retreat first, wait until the warrior falls asleep, and then sneak into the 'Faxiang Temple' to find out. 】

[3. Take out five thousand spiritual points and bribe the guarding warrior, saying that you have no free time during the day, so that he can be accommodating. 】

Faxiang Temple is not the top priority right now, but going to Wuxin Shrine to find the senior sister and ninja master is.

Lin Xun was about to press the first option when he suddenly stopped.

Clues that I hadn't thought of before suddenly flashed through my mind.

Shrines and shrines are places where new gods are worshiped, and the Hoshoji Temple in front of us is the place where old gods were worshiped in the past.

However, the letter from the elder sister Tsukijo Murasaki said that the ‘Wuzhi Shrine’ affiliated with the New God would offer Tsukijo Murasaki to the evil god as his wife…

All of a sudden, all kinds of thoughts and conjectures came flooding in.

Lin Xun took a deep breath, he had to go into Faxiang Temple tonight to check it out!
