[You come to the bed and take out the forbidden medicine hidden in the chest of the 'Ninja Master' as instructed. ]
[There are two pills, one big and one small. They are all blood red and have a faint fishy smell. 】
[If you observe carefully, the smaller pills suddenly squirm, followed closely by the large pills. 】
[The ‘pill’ is obviously not a dead object, but some unknown strange creature! 】
['Blood-Burning Soul-Burning Mother Gu' (special prop): The secret Gu passed down from the Zhuchi Empire is extremely precious. The Mother Gu can be used to control the child Gu. As long as the mother Gu is crushed, the user of the child Gu will be
At the cost of soul annihilation, release all the potential of the body.】
['Blood-burning soul-burning sub-gu' (special prop): The secret voodoo passed down from the Zhu Chi Empire is extremely precious. The sub-gu is vicious and sinister. The person who takes it is the one under control. The sub-gu will feed on the soul of the user.
, constantly releasing power.]
[The weak voice of 'Ninja Master' sounded again...]
[This forbidden medicine can treat its old and hidden diseases and restore it to its peak state, but the effect is relatively short-lived and cannot last long. 】
[After it takes the forbidden medicine, it will activate the secret method and fall into a deep sleep. 】
[Tonight, you need to go up the mountain with your closest friends to rescue Zi Ye. 】
[If you encounter someone who is invincible, crush another pill and it will wake up and go up the mountain as quickly as possible to help you.]
[Do you want to feed the ‘Blood Burning Soul Burning Son Gu’ to the ‘Ninja Master’? 】
Lin Xun sighed and pressed 'Yes'.
[Follow what the 'ninja master' said, feed it the smaller pill 'child voodoo', and carefully put away the other pill 'mother voodoo'. 】
[After the 'Ninja Master' took the pill, a sickly blush appeared on his face. He formed a secret technique with his hands and quickly fell asleep...]
【……】
Lin Xun put down his cell phone and lit a cigarette.
Behind the light blue smoke is his slightly bored expression.
After a long time, he put out the cigarette and picked up the phone again to continue playing the game.
Summon the Valkyrie in the guest room and ask her to protect the sleeping Ninja Master.
Lin Xun switched to the body of the 'Master Fan', left the cage, and came to the foot of the 'Wuzhi Shrine' mountain.
[The mountains in front of us are not very tall, but there are a large number of pilgrims going up the mountain, most of them couples. 】
[The people coming and going are all discussing the 'nest sacrifice' ceremony that is about to be held at noon. If you participate in the ceremony of the two gods who are in charge of the fertility pillar, you can pray for children and heirs. 】
[You follow the crowd up the mountain path. As an old person, you are not conspicuous among the pilgrims. There are also many elders who come here to burn incense and make offerings to the younger generations. ]
Although the ninja master said that the operation would be at night, it did not prevent Lin Xun from coming to inquire about the enemy's situation first.
Only by understanding the situation inside the 'Wuzhi Shrine' in advance can we better implement the rescue plan.
[Most of the bustling crowd stopped to take a break in front of the torii gate halfway up the mountain. 】
[Although this mountain is not tall, the mountain roads are winding and climbing in circles. 】
[Listening to the chatter of the pilgrims, you can learn that there are three torii gates in the 'Wuzhi Shrine'. The first torii is vermilion, the second is purple, and the third is black and purple. 】
[The greater the number of torii gates, the more prosperous the shrine is and the more noble the gods enshrined there are. 】
[It is said that the Tenmei Jingu Shrine, which enshrines the statue of Soko Tenen in Sakurakyoto, has built a long mountain path with thousands of torii gates, and is known as the "thousand torii gates"...]
[You look up at the tall torii gate in front of you. There is a rope tied under the vermilion wood, floating slightly in the wind. 】
[Note: Hanging from the rope is a series of white royal coins, which are white paper folded into zigzag shapes as offerings to the gods.]
[Most of the divine power emitted by the torii comes from the ropes and coins.]
[As you slowly walk past the tall vermilion torii gate, you feel a surge of power sweeping through your body.]
[Compared to small shrines like the ‘Shishan Shrine’, the divine power of the ‘Wuzhi Shrine’ is so huge that it is a bit scary. 】
[You know, it would definitely not be a wise move to conflict with the clergy in the shrine within such a divine power. 】
[You continue to climb along the mountain path, and soon you will see the second torii.]
[As the pilgrims said, the second torii gate is purple-red, and the power of the divine realm becomes even greater after passing through the torii gate.]
【……】
[After passing through the black and purple Three Torii Gates, you feel a sense of awe for no reason. This is the sense of oppression brought to you by the more turbulent power of the divine realm. 】
[The power of the divine realm reminds you all the time that in the realm of the two pillar gods, you are just a weak and insignificant ant. ]
[It is what you should do to worship devoutly and offer incense. If you have evil intentions, you will be crushed into dust under this vast power.]
【……】
[The gate of the shrine is unattended, only the bustling pilgrims who continue to pour in, and the two stone sculptures of Komo dogs guarding both sides.]
[You follow the crowd into the shrine...]
[Everywhere you look, there are crowds of people. There are two buildings standing on the left and right sides of the shrine, namely the shrine and the social affairs office. 】
[The shrine extends deep into the shrine, passing through three magnificent halls: the worship hall, the coin hall, and the main hall.]
[Unlike Shishan Shrine, Wuzhi Shrine is a large shrine where incense is flourishing. Ordinary pilgrims can only burn incense and make offerings in the worship hall where there are no statues of gods.]
[Then you have to go to the Coin Hall to pay coins and donate money.]
[As for the main temple with the statues of the two pillar gods ‘Gaoyuhunming’ and ‘Shensanchaori’, it is blocked by a fence called ‘Ruiyuan’, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. 】
[According to the discussions among the pilgrims, the sacrificial process of this ‘Birth and Nest Sacrifice’ is roughly the same as in previous years.]
[Before noon, the shrine maidens will perform the shrine dance in the shrine hall to please the pillar god. 】
[At noon, the 'miko' will be carried by a portable shrine to the 'worship hall', where a grand worship ceremony will be performed. 】
[Then the mikoshi passes through the coin hall and goes directly to the main hall at the deepest part of the shrine.]
[The witch will burn incense and bathe alone here, chanting scriptures and praying. 】
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! [It will not be until late at night that the priest will bring the relevant shrine personnel in to conduct the most critical step in the 'nest sacrifice' - the living sacrifice ceremony. 】
[Of course, the living sacrifice ceremony held in the main shrine is still not open to the public. Even when the living sacrifice ceremony is held, the shrine will be cleared and the pilgrims will be allowed to go down the mountain, leaving only the shrine staff. 】
[But after the ceremony is completed, the priest will cut off some of the witch's organs and present them in the worship hall for pilgrims to worship on the next day.]
[According to legend, the shrine maiden was summoned by the Pillar God at this time, and her mortal body was transformed into a divine body. By worshiping the remaining organs of the shrine maiden, you can be watched by the Pillar God and be blessed by the god.]
[In this way, after the three-day ‘nesting ceremony’ is over, it is only natural for the pilgrims to return home to do some farming and give birth to children and heirs...]
【……】
[While you were listening to the discussions of the pilgrims, the crowd became more and more crowded, with people pushing each other and retreating.]
[As a ‘Master Model’, you are tall and thin. You raise your head slightly and straighten your chest. You look past the crowd of people and see clearly what is happening in front of you...]
[I saw many ‘Zhubu’ (priests) surrounding a dark sedan chair, and leading the way was a ‘sacrificial master’ (divine master) wearing gorgeous fasting clothes. 】
[A group of people marched towards the ‘Shenre Palace’ in a mighty manner...]
[Not long after, the team arrived at the ‘Shenre Hall’, the black sedan landed, and a woman in white clothes and scarlet hakama walked out. 】
[The woman holds a Kagura bell in one hand, a cypress fan in the other, a flower hairpin in her hair, and a Tiantian crown on her head.]
[It enters the hall and dances to the playing of musical instruments such as taiko drums, flutes, and cymbals.]
[With physical strength that far exceeds that of ordinary people, you squeezed into the crowd and came to the front of the crowd to see the woman's appearance clearly...]
[Although the girl is beautiful, she is not as beautiful as the third miko in the rumors. The person in front of you is probably not the "Moon City Purple Leaf" you need to rescue. 】
[Do you want to stay here and continue to watch the dance, or go to other places in the shrine? 】
Of course Lin Xun chose the latter.
It would be best if we could find the 'Senior Sister' in the shrine and take her down the mountain without anyone noticing.
[You slowly exit the crowded crowd. On the other side of the shrine is the social affairs office where the staff of the society handle matters.]
[Pilgrims are crowding around the shrine hall to watch the dance, so naturally the place is empty. 】
[The door outside the social affairs office is wide open, and a plaque on it reads: Zana Office.]
[Several ‘officials’ display imperial guards, sacred tablets and other awards here.]
[When they see you coming, they enthusiastically introduce to you the items called gifts, which are actually commodities...]
['Gao Yuhun Ming's Guardian' (premium-level accessory): A talisman in the shape of a brocade bag contains the divine code of the pillar god 'Gao Yuhun Ming'. Wearing it with you will nourish the kidneys and essence, and improve certain aspects of combat.
Ability, valid for one year. Spiritual value: 5000, remaining quantity: 5】
['God's Nest Ri's Guardian' (premium-level accessory): The talisman of the pillar god 'God's Nest Ri' is wrapped in a talisman in the shape of a brocade bag. Wearing it with you will nourish your skin and yin, and improve your endurance in certain aspects.
, valid for one year. Spiritual value: 5000, remaining quantity: 5]
【Do you want to buy the award? 】
Lin Xun raised his eyebrows and spent 50,000 souls to acquire two rare accessories and equipment.
Accessories and equipment are extremely rare in the underworld. They are the kind of rare items that will be snapped up instantly as soon as they are placed in the Book of Trade as long as the attribute bonus is not too high.
He himself is very powerful, so of course he won't need this thing, but he can sell or give away some of the unique 'guards'.
[You generously handed over 50,000 souls as the first grain of the gift in exchange.]
[Several ‘officials’ are beaming with joy, and they are even more kind to you.]
[You claim to be from ‘Fugang City’, and you come here to burn incense and make offerings to your descendants, so that your family will be filled with descendants. 】
[You are very curious about the fact that you have never seen the ‘nest sacrifice’ before, and you have some questions in your mind, and I would like to ask some adults to answer them. 】
[For you who are so generous, several ‘officials’ nodded with smiles on their faces, indicating that they would answer all questions.]
[You should ask a few simple questions first to avoid making your intentions too obvious.]
[After the minister answered you one by one, you pretended to ask casually. You heard from other pilgrims that the third witch was extremely beautiful. You wanted to see her face, but you didn't know where to see that witch.]
[The official shakes his head regretfully and makes it clear to you that what the pilgrim said is true. The third witch is indeed very beautiful. 】
[But the two shrine maidens who have not yet participated in the sacrifice are in this temple at this time. If you want to see their appearance, you can only wait until the third day of the sacrifice...]
[You get the key information, pretend to chat with Chushi for a while, and then wave goodbye to them.]
[You hunched over, pretending to be old and frail, wandering around, and inadvertently slowly approached the ‘main hall’ located at the deepest part of the shrine. 】
Lin Xun did not dare to switch between his 'chuunin' bodies and use his stealth skills in the shrine.
When I was in the ‘Shishan Society’ before, I understood that the power of the divine domain has functions such as defense and concealment breaking.
If you use stealth skills here, it will probably trigger some kind of alarm.
Once the alert of the staff within the society is aroused, the difficulty of the rescue operation may have to be raised several levels.
[You slowly come to the depths of the shrine, and at the end of the long shrine is the magnificent hall in front of you.]
[The entire ‘main hall’ is surrounded by stone ‘Ruiyuan’ fences that are half a person’s height.]
[The ‘Ruiyuan’ is carved with countless dense tadpole incantations, forming a colorless and invisible barrier, encompassing this temple. 】
[You look around. At this time, most of the people in the shrine are near the 'Shenreden' which is far away from you, so there is not a single person around. 】
【What is your next move?】
【1. Say haha and get out of here】
【2. Ignore the barrier and enter】
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! [3. Break the barrier and sneak into the temple]
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes. Now that there was no one around, it was a good time to break the barrier.
If we can successfully break the barrier without being discovered, we can naturally rescue the senior sister.
He quickly switched bodies and pressed the option.
[You are possessed by the body of the ‘Palace Master of Ixie Palace who worships fire’! 】
[The incantations carved on the stone Ruiyuan are as clear to your eyes as one, two, three or four.]
[The barrier generated by the Ruiyuan outside this hall is the 'Void Realm', which is much weaker than the 'Absolute Realm that Guards the Ten Directions', but the advantage is that it is colorless and invisible, making it difficult for others to detect. ]
[Although the 'Void Realm' is not as unbreakable as the 'Absolute Realm that Guards the Ten Directions', it is also a large-scale defensive barrier that consumes a lot of precious materials. 】
[Unlike the barriers that are released casually by Onmyojis, large-scale defensive barriers are created by many Onmyojis who deploy formations and consume a lot of barrier materials. They can be regarded as some kind of fortifications and are very difficult to crack.
It can’t be done with just a few clicks.】
[Even if you are the ‘Palace Master of Yixie Palace’, you still need specific cracking materials to gradually resolve it. 】
[You look at the barrier carefully and estimate in your mind the materials and time it will take to break the barrier...]
[After your deduction, eight materials are needed to break the barrier, namely blue and white magatama*2, Yuling bronze mirror*1, Hades night lamp*1, owl tail feathers*3...]
[And the fastest time to break the barrier is a cup of tea (ten minutes). 】
[And this crack is only temporary, just like opening a small temporary opening on the edge of the barrier. The power generated by Ruiyuan will continue to repair the opening until the barrier is repaired. 】
[According to your estimation, after breaking the barrier, you will only have half an hour to enter or exit at most.]
[Do you want to leave the ‘Wuzhi Shrine’ first to search for materials? 】
Lin Xun directly turned on the computer and searched for materials related to cracking the barrier in the database of the Apostles Forum.
Soon I received good news and bad news.
The good news is that these materials are available in the database, which means they are most likely sold in libraries.
The bad thing is that these materials are so expensive!
It is estimated that it will cost at least 200,000 souls to collect the required quantities of eight materials.
"It's too expensive to rescue Senior Sister. Spending 200,000 to skip class doesn't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing..."
