Chapter 414: Chapter 233: Three Battles with the Female Servants, Dharma Temple_3
[You equipped ’Ninja Grappler’ (Special Equipment)!]
[You took advantage of the moment when the patrolling unit of samurai moved off... You swung your hook high into the air!]
[Years of ninja training have made you experienced, the hook accurately hooked onto the top of the castle wall... But the metallic hook against the rocky wall inevitably made a slight sound.]
[The last samurai in the patrol team suddenly turned around, looked towards the direction of the sound, with a frown.]
[He stepped ahead from the patrol team to investigate, and saw nothing on top of the castle wall under the moonlight.]
[The samurai wanted to investigate further, but he was scolded by the leading samurai. He had no choice but to rejoin the team and continue patrolling.]
[You quickly climbed the castle wall along the rope of the hook...]
[You see the patrol team has walked to the end, about to turn back.]
[You look down from the city castle, the night of the Thousand Hui City is lit up by thousands of families, buildings brightly lit, a magnificent sight.]
[You stepped back two steps, and jumped off the high city wall...]
[...]
[When landing, you rolled to reduce the impact from the high drop, not suffering any injury. This for you, a Medium Ninja, is just a piece of cake.]
[You quickly stepped forward, hiding in the shadow of a residential house.]
[Your ’Purple Mist Escape Technique’ invisibility duration is exhausted, and your ninja identity is revealed.]
You’ve successfully left ’Yiye Palace’ without drawing attention.
The two maids in the sleeping hall have undergone three consecutive battles; they probably won’t get up until dawn.
You still have ample time to explore, as long as you’re back to Yiye Palace before sunrise.
Lin Xun dressed the Ninja Shell in the ’Black Night Shadow Cloak’ and equipped the ’Golden Roc Fierce Bird Claw’ before setting off on his exploration.
[You head for Wuzhi Shrine following the directions you previously gleaned...]
[Every house on the way is lit up with black lanterns. The nighttime streets are frequented by numerous pedestrians, far more bustling than ’Fugang City’.]
[...]
[You quickly head towards the direction of ’Wuzhi Shrine’...]
[A large temple you passed caught your attention.]
[It is a dilapidated temple. If it weren’t surrounded by the ’Guardian of the Ten Directions’ Absolute Realm’ shimmering gold in the night, you might have overlooked it.]
[Upon closer inspection, the once bustling temple was grand and solemn.]
[However, now the temple is cold and dilapidated. Even the ’Dharma Temple’ sign hanging overhead has become mottled.]
[There is a fully armed samurai taking a nap outside the temple, snoring heavily.]
[Passersby occasionally look at the temple with scorn and hatred in their dark eyes.]
[You go forward and pat the samurai’s shoulder. He wakes up with a start, thinking it’s an inspection from a superior. He quickly stands up.]
[Upon realizing that it’s a Ninja Dog, he can’t help but scold angrily...]
[Scram, do not interrupt my sleep. If you want to see the ’devil remnants’ in the cage, pay and go in tomorrow morning!]
[You frowned at his words.]
[What should you do?]
[1.Leave the rundown temple and continue to ’Wuzhi Shrine’. Come back to ’Dharma Temple’ when you have time some other day.]
[2. Leave for now, wait for the samurai to fall asleep, and then sneak into ’Dharma Temple’ to investigate.]
[3.Pay 5,000 Spirit points as a bribe to the guarding samurai. Indicate that you are busy during the day and ask for his accommodation.]
Dharma Temple isn’t an immediate priority, going to ’Wuzhi Shrine’ to find your elder sister and ninja master is.
Just when Lin Xun was about to choose the first option, he suddenly stopped.
A previously overlooked clue surfaced in his mind.
The Shrine, the Shrine, it is a place to worship the new god. The Dharma temple in front of him was once a place of worship for the old gods.
And yet, the letter from his sister, Moon City Purple Leaf, wrote that ’Wuzhi Shrine’, under the new god, intended to introduce her to the Demon God as a wife...
All sorts of thoughts swarmed in.
Lin Xun took a deep breath, he must investigate the Dharma Temple tonight!
