Chapter 234 Rescue the slippery ghost and escape from Faxiang Temple
The three options in front of you are leaving, infiltrating and bribing.
If you want to enter Faxiang Temple, you can ignore the infiltration option.
Hoshoji Temple is protected by the "Guarding the Absolute Boundary of Ten Directions". From the previous game data, we know that only Jonin can learn the art of breaking the barrier.
As for the top barrier, "Guarding the Absolute Boundary of Ten Directions", it requires a higher-level ninja to have a chance to break it.
Lin Xun pressed the third option 'bribery'.
[You took out 5,000 spiritual points, secretly gave them to the warriors guarding the temple, and asked in a low voice if you could be accommodating? 】
[The warrior weighed his spirituality, looked a little calmer, and said hesitantly, Faxiang Temple can only be visited during the day, and is not open to the public after sunset. ]
[If you are interested in visiting, you can come tomorrow morning and it will reserve a seat at the front for you.]
[You were a little disappointed when you heard this, and were about to leave here and think of a solution, but the samurai winked at you and quietly spread out a hand.]
[You couldn't help but be stunned, and suddenly understood, you took out 5,000 points of spirituality again, and secretly stuffed it into the hands of the warrior. 】
[It shows a satisfied smile and tells you that you are engaged in ninja work day and night, and it is reasonable for you to have no time to visit the "Faxiang Temple" during the day. 】
[Considering that everyone in Qianhuicheng should have the opportunity to spurn the 'remnants of evil spirits', you are hereby allowed to enter at night...]
[As he spoke, he took out a small token from his arms and handed it to you, explaining softly that this is the token to enter the barrier. After you finish visiting, you must return the token when you leave. 】
[Only you and others know about this matter, don’t publicize it to the outside world...]
[You have obtained the ‘Token of Absolute Realm’ (key)]
[The warrior looks around and pushes you into the barrier when there is no one around. He waves his hand and signals you to quickly enter the temple gate to avoid being discovered by others. ]
[You move forward quickly, push open the heavy temple door, and step in...]
[After entering the gate, you will see a large corridor in front of you. The corridor surrounds a magnificent hall, and a pointed tower top emerges from the back of the hall. 】
[You step into the corridor, and there is an eye-catching notice board on the side. You go up and look at it carefully. 】
[The signboard contains warnings and a topographic map of the temple.]
[The warnings warn people to keep a distance from the 'remnants of evil spirits' when visiting temples, and never cross the guardrails to get close to the cages, otherwise they will be responsible for the consequences if something unfortunate happens.]
[Others include the prohibition of poisoning and feeding the ‘evil remnants’ or privately committing violence against the ‘evil remnants’. 】
Lin Xun looked like an old man on the subway looking at his cell phone.
Are you sure you are entering a zoo?
[Below the sign is a topographic map, roughly depicting the route in the temple...]
[The layout inside the temple is not the usual temple layout of ‘front tower and back hall’, but ‘front hall and back tower’. 】
[The hall is the main hall of the temple, the golden hall, and the pagoda is a five-story pagoda. Both buildings are surrounded by cloisters.]
[After visiting the two buildings, after the golden hall and the tower are the lecture hall and practice room...]
[After carefully memorizing the contents of the topographic map, you walk through the corridor and arrive in front of the 'magnificent' golden hall...]
[The golden hall that used to be a prosperous place has become dilapidated. The palace that originally enshrined the statue of the ‘evil god’ now houses a large number of ‘evil remnants’ monsters for people to vent their curses on. 】
[You stride forward and slowly push open the golden hall door...]
[The wooden door made a strange creaking noise, and a ray of moonlight spilled into the golden hall along the crack in the door, and green eyes lit up in the darkness.]
[The undulating dull roar was suppressed in the beast's throat, but it did not dare to roar loudly.]
[You push the door fully open, letting the cool moonlight illuminate the things inside the palace...]
[Single iron cages stand on both sides of the golden hall, extending all the way to the depths of the golden hall.]
[These cages vary in size, with guardrails cast in front, and blood-stained whips standing next to the guardrails.]
[You look through the moonlight and see all kinds of monsters imprisoned in the cage. These monsters have different shapes, but they all have the same characteristics, that is, they are skinny and covered with bruises. 】
[Your arrival has awakened the sleeping monsters one after another, looking at you with all kinds of complicated eyes, including anger, hatred, panic, fear...]
[You discovered the ‘tracing mountain boy’…]
[You discovered the ‘traceable Heike crab’...]
[You discovered the ‘traceable wood cotton demon’...]
[You discovered the ‘Five Virtues Cat’s traceability’...]
【You found out...】
[You ignore the suppressed roar from the cage and come to the guardrail...]
[There are long blood-stained whips hanging on the guardrail, and there is a warning sign on the side: Please use the whip under guidance after paying the property, and do not use it privately!]
[Just as you were staring at the whip and warning sign, a girl's voice came from the iron cage in front of you...]
[Humans! Get out! It’s night now, it’s not time for you to commit violence yet!]
[You look at the iron cage and see a ragged ‘little girl’ inside. 】
[Its exposed limbs outside its robe are covered with whip marks and wounds. Some of the wounds look fresh, while others are fester and pus...]
【You discovered the ‘tracing Zashiki Warashi’! 】
[Zashiki Warashi stares with anger, but you soon catch a trace of unconcealed fear in its eyes. 】
【Do you want to kill the monster in front of you? 】
[You ignored the ‘Zashiki Warashi’ and walked straight into the depths of the golden hall...]
[In the iron cages on both sides are some little monsters with low strength. Most of them have not even mastered the "Art of Change". What's more, some of them can't speak human words and can only roar like wild beasts. 】
[Ignoring the roars and curses of the monsters, you come to the altar. 】
[The statue of the ‘Chaos Source Dragon’ in front of me is covered with oil stains, dirt, rotten vegetable leaves, phlegm and other filthy things. Even the horns on the statue’s dragon head have been broken off. 】
[When the monsters saw you approaching the statue, their curses became louder and louder. They thought they thought you were going to do something insulting to the statue.]
[Do you want to offer the power of incense to the statue of the ‘Chaos Source Dragon’? 】
Lin Xun still had seven pieces of high-quality burning incense in his pocket, but his sworn god was imprisoned with evil thoughts, and the power of offering incense was like asking for death.
It’s better not to attract the attention of ‘Extremely Evil Consequences’.
Lin Xun searched the golden hall carefully.
Apart from a statue of a god and a bunch of monsters in iron cages, there is nothing else to explore here.
He couldn't help but frown.
"Is Jintang just a simple place to spawn monsters?"
The people imprisoned here are all little monsters, and they don't have much experience or rewards.
Come to think of it, if he had caught a big monster, he would have been suppressed by the Onmyoji long ago and made a shikigami. How could he be imprisoned here for people to vent their curses?
According to the shipwrecked mage, although the descendants of the Dragon God can draw the "Power of Dragon Yin" from other monsters, they can only obtain it from more powerful monsters.
In game parlance, if you defeat a monster with a higher level of ‘Escort Dragon Yin’ than him, you will have a chance of dropping ‘Yokai Heart’, thereby improving your special attributes.
The little monsters imprisoned in the golden hall obviously cannot help him improve his special attributes, and they may only provide a little experience value and spirituality.
Lin Xun vaguely felt that it was not that simple here.
As a 'descendant of the Dragon God', he may be able to trigger some hidden plot here.
He narrowed his eyes and decisively switched bodies.
[You are possessed by the body of the ‘original invisibility seeking knowledge’! 】
[You who look like a ninja suddenly turn into a ferocious monster with a dragon head and body, and the cursing and roaring around you suddenly stops! 】
[A sound came from a certain iron cage...]
【...It turns out you are not a human, you are a big monster!】
[As soon as this statement came out, the other little monsters imprisoned in the cage started talking about it. 】
【...Is this big monster here to save them? 】
[The big monster looks so strange...like the offspring of a snake monster and a lizard monster.]
[No matter what kind of hybrid monsters they are, as long as you can save them, they are good monsters! 】
【...Great, they are finally saved!】
Lin Xun's face was covered with black lines.
I thought that my revealed identity would trigger some special plots.
I didn’t expect that these ignorant little monsters didn’t recognize the ‘descendants of the Dragon God’. They were so ignorant!
Then I thought about it, maybe rescuing these little monsters is a special plot?
[You look around and let out a majestic dragon roar, immediately covering up the sounds of a bunch of little monsters. 】
[You ask in a deep voice, who is in charge here?]
[The little monsters simultaneously turned their attention to the iron cage closest to the statue of the 'Chaos Source Dragon'...]
[You stride forward and approach the iron cage...]
[I saw a sleeping young man lying in the iron cage. His body was covered with whip marks and bloody wounds, and the clothes he was wearing were torn into rags by the whipping. 】
[What surprises you is that its appearance is quite handsome. Even the whip marks on its face can't hide its handsomeness. It is incompatible with a bunch of little monsters. 】
[However, the young man’s head shape ruins this handsome beauty. The weird head shape is like a short winter melon placed at an angle. 】
【You have discovered the ‘originally traceable juvenile slipper’! 】
[As if feeling the gaze of strange eyes, the monster boy suddenly opened his eyes. 】
[Its eyes immediately focused on you, and then the monster boy widened his eyes and exclaimed: Descendants of the Dragon God! ]
[There was a sudden silence in the golden hall. The monster boy quickly bowed his head and bowed, gratefully saying that the Dragon God finally sent his blood descendants to save them. They are saved, and so is grandpa! 】
[All the little monsters looked at each other in confusion. Although I don’t know when the dragon god had descendants, and I don’t know how you, who looks weird, got related to the descendants of the gods. 】
[But when they heard that you were here to rescue them, and that the leading monsters were so respectful to you, they quickly knelt down and worshiped, their excitement beyond words.]
[You ignore a bunch of little monsters and ask the 'young Hua Lao' in front of you what is going on in Faxiang Temple. ]
[The monster boy wipes away his tears and nose, and tells you slowly...]
[Faxiang Temple was originally a place dedicated to the ‘Chaos Source Dragon’. Before the war between the gods had begun, the place was very popular and there was an endless stream of worshipers. 】
[Until the defeat of the Dragon God, Faxiang Temple was occupied by believers of the New God...]
[As the most devout people of the Dragon God, they are also the powerful Hua Lao (Slippery Ghost) clan who have guarded Faxiang Temple for generations. They suffered heavy casualties in the war.]
[However, because Huaxiao is one of the most powerful monster races and is favored by the Dragon God, the believers of the New God cannot erase their sanity and forcibly accept him as a shikigami.]
[Fortunately, at a young age, his strength was low and he did not pose much of a threat, so he was imprisoned here and tortured. 】
[The believers of the New God try to use torture and humiliation to make it succumb, so that it can obey obediently and actively become the lackey of the Shikigami.]
[The other monsters in the Golden Hall were all captured by New God believers. Fortunately, they were weak and were only imprisoned instead of becoming walking zombies like Shikigami. ]
[Compared to those monsters who became shikigami, they can be considered lucky to be humiliated here. 】
[Please also ask Lord Goddess to rescue them. From now on, they will definitely serve you as you wish!]
【Do you want to destroy the iron cage immediately and save the little monsters? 】
Lin Xun bared his teeth for a while.
It's not that they don't look down on the strength of these little monsters and refuse to rescue them.
But outside Faxiang Temple, there is a "definite boundary guarding the ten directions". How to break the boundary and wait for all the monsters to escape is a big problem.
Moreover, even if you can take the monsters away from Faxiang Temple, don't forget that Qianhuicheng is different from a remote place like "Fugang City", where the strength of the believers of the New God is too strong.
Even if you can escape from Faxiang Temple, it will be difficult to escape from Qianhuicheng.
He fled with a large group of novice monsters. It is estimated that none of these little monsters will be alive before they return to their hometown of "Longze Temple".
Saving a bunch of monsters is too conspicuous, and you will most likely be surrounded and suppressed by the army.
But...it would be much easier to save just one.
Lin Xun rolled his eyes and thought of a way.
There is only one key token to cross the barrier, and it can only allow one person to enter and exit.
He can remove the ninja's equipment, let the young monster slide disguise himself as a ninja, and then give it the token key to leave the barrier safely.
As for Lin Xun himself, although he does not have a token key to enter and exit, he can commit suicide and return to the city for free.
This way you can successfully rescue a monster.
It's just that his resurrection point is in Fugang City, and it will take a long time to get here.
It is estimated that by that time, the monster's escape will most likely be exposed, and it will be even more difficult to rescue the remaining little monsters.
[You explained the difficulties of escaping here one by one, which made all the little monsters feel dejected.]
[You suddenly changed the subject and claimed that it wasn’t that they couldn’t be saved, but that you could only save one now. 】
[As soon as these words came out, the monsters started talking, but soon they all turned their attention to the young boy Hua Lao. 】
[The 'Young Hua Lao who traces the origin' knows what the other monsters are thinking. He frowns and thinks, slowly shakes his head and says, "We must run away together. If we can only escape one, then the remaining monsters will never be able to escape again!"
[All the little monsters tried to persuade the young Huaguo to leave, but it was like a bastard eating a weight, determined not to escape alone. 】
"This melon boy is really stubborn..."
Escape from Faxiang Temple requires the cooperation of the parties involved. If the young monster refuses, the plan will not be implemented.
Lin Xun scratched his head, feeling that the current situation was somewhat unsolvable.
