Chapter 8, Chenghuang Temple

Hong Yu continued, "The numerous women who have been abducted in Yanzhou City are all his doing; it seems that he sends the abducted women to the City God Temple each time."

However, she has been gone for half an hour, and Yun Cuixian's face also showed an anxious expression as she asked Chu Youcai: "Sir, could it be that Juxue has encountered an accident? Even if she makes two trips, the time should be sufficient."

Prepare the prescription well, and then he will add a few ingredients that can be confusing, and have Juxue fetch two doses of medicine.

Then she handed a brocade pouch in her arms to Chu Youcai and said earnestly: "You must come back"

At this moment, Hong Yu gazed at the man before her, her mind swirling with thoughts—he had brought her back, and even in the most desperate circumstances, he had not forced her. Yet now, he was the only one she could trust. But could he truly rescue her from her predicament

Juxue hesitated for a moment, but it was Yuncui Xian who handed a jade bracelet to Juxue, saying with a determined expression: "Everything will be according to the official's wishes." Then she instructed her: "Recently, Yanzhou has been quite unstable, and it is said that there have been several incidents of women being abducted. Be careful on your journey and return early."

Chu Youcai's expression changed in surprise as he asked, "What has happened?"

It is as if this night belongs to her world

At this moment, he suddenly froze. Leaning against the gate of the courtyard was a young girl, surprisingly, it was Hongyu

Until around midnight, Chu Youcai donned his night attire and stealthily exited his room. At this moment, the moonlight illuminated the brows and lashes of Yun Cui Xian, causing them to tremble slightly, as if glistening with sparkling droplets of water

Juxue's face was marked by a look of shock and fear as she said, "I... I almost didn't make it back."

Juxue took a moment to collect herself after drinking a glass of water in the room and said: "I went to the pharmacy in the north to buy some medicine. As I passed by the City God Temple there, I don't know why, but I felt completely dazed, as if I were out of control. I stood there for a long time, and then a voice kept telling me to go into that City God Temple."

Chu Youcai was taken aback and said, "Who is she?"

Then proceed northward

At this moment, Chu Youcai was truly taken aback, as he had not anticipated that the disappearance of so many women was the doing of Lei Yinyang. He could not understand why these women were being sent to the City God Temple

Subsequently, he waited for Yun Cui Xian to prepare two doses of medicine, placing the medicinal liquid into two small bottles, which he carried with him

That afternoon, Chu Youcai practiced until he was exhausted and finally took a break. He glanced at the girl Hongyu beside him, who seemed hesitant to speak, but he did not inquire further. Instead, he closed his eyes and carefully reflected on the techniques of marksmanship. If he were to raid the casino at night, what advantages would he have? He knew that having launched a surprise attack once, the casino would surely be on high alert now.

Chu Youcai continued, "Is there a connection between this City God Temple and the leader of that casino?"

Miss Shangguan is of a similar age to me. Six months ago, she rented the adjacent courtyard, living only with her mother. Her mother is seriously ill, and she has been taking care of her. Occasionally, when they are short of sewing supplies at home, she would come to borrow a few items from us. She possesses a beautiful and graceful appearance, yet her expression has always been as cold as frost. I only know that her surname is Shangguan.

The young girl Hongyu was about to speak when she suddenly heard a rapid knocking at the door. Chu Youcai opened the door and saw that it was Juxue, while at that moment, the door of the neighboring house also closed.

Her voice was already beautiful, and in the deep of night, it flowed like a lovely spring, warming the night with its sound

Juxue said: "Fortunately, at that time, the young lady woke me up."

At present, Chu Youcai did not hesitate and wrote down the prescription. Some of the herbs in that prescription were extremely precious, but Chu Youcai replaced them with commonly available herbs from the Yanzhou pharmacy, which were not too expensive, although the efficacy of the medicine was significantly weakened

I will go take a look. " Chu Youcai's face tightened, and he prepared to change his clothes. At that moment, he noticed the girl Hongyu's hesitant expression.

At this moment, he felt even more curious about the girl before him. Such secret information is something that even the closest relatives of Lei Yinyang would not disclose. How could she possibly know? Lei Yinyang spent a large sum of money to send someone to find her; who exactly is she?

Moreover, according to Hongyu, there may be many women who have been captured and taken there. Whether it is to break through this place or to rescue people, one should take full responsibility.

"Do you know something?" Chu Youcai could not help but ask. Throughout this day, the girl had not said a word, and he did not even know her name.

He said earnestly at that moment: "I will return, do not worry"

"Juxue, why has it taken so long? Both the official and I are extremely worried," said Yun Cuixian

"Well, it was Miss Shangguan. She patted my shoulder and quickly brought me back, telling me that I must absolutely avoid the vicinity of the City God Temple in the coming days." Juxue recalled, still feeling a lingering fear: "At that moment, it was as if I had completely lost control, almost losing consciousness."

Well

However, since Hongyu did not speak up, he would not press the matter

"Do you know anything about the City God Temple?" Chu Youcai asked gravely

Upon hearing the mention of the City God Temple, the young girl Hongyu's expression changed once again

At this moment, he has never been so resolute.

And Chu Youcai took the armor in the courtyard, held the silver spear, climbed over the wall, leaped out, and gently landed on the ground with the * map * book.

At this moment, Hongyu appears like a ghost in the night, with a beauty that is as enchanting as the moonlight stirring the darkness, accentuated by the mole at the corner of her mouth. Under this night, her appearance is strikingly different from what it was during the day, exuding a captivating beauty that is dazzling and breathtaking.

Indeed, being able to survive in the world of Toad Dragon Mountain and River Pearl is largely thanks to my own prescription

These two prescriptions do not differentiate between the timing of the decoction, nor do they consider the order of the herbs added. There are also many substitute medicines, whose efficacy may only be one-third of the original medicine, yet they have a rapid healing effect, which is naturally of great importance to Chu Youcai

The young girl Hongyu nodded her head

Chu Youcai took the brocade bag, and upon opening it, he discovered a strand of hair along with some bloodstains. Yet, despite holding such items, there was an inexplicable power that seemed to be swirling within, protecting him. Although he did not know what this object was, he felt certain it would be of assistance on his journey

Juxue composed herself, nodded slightly, and then headed towards the pharmacy in the north

Is this City God Temple eerie? Chu Youcai felt a chill in his heart. He then instructed Juxue to rest, and proceeded to divide the purchased medicine according to the dosage, asking Yuncuixian for assistance in preparing it. After that, he walked to the courtyard and asked the young girl: "What is your name?"

At this moment, his eyes were filled with fighting spirit. The City God Temple was indeed extremely dangerous, but he possessed a cursed treasure, which was his trump card. As long as he acted unexpectedly and entered the City God Temple at night, he could potentially succeed by utilizing the Toad Dragon River Pearl. This Toad Dragon River Pearl was of the Jin Zhen level; although its exact tier was unknown, it was likely stronger than ordinary cursed treasures. Even if he were to face defeat, he should be able to retreat unscathed. Otherwise, when that Thunder Yin Yang, wielding a cursed treasure, came to attack, he would undoubtedly have no place to be buried.

Chu Youcai felt a chill in his heart, realizing that his guess was indeed correct; this leader was indeed connected to the Chu County Prince's residence. Moreover, this leader seemed to be unlike a human, or perhaps possessed a cursed treasure, which accounted for such abnormalities. If he had been unaware of this information, he would likely have met his demise at the hands of this leader upon their first encounter

"Who is that extremely beautiful yet unsmiling Miss Shangguan?" Yun Cuixian inquired

My name is Hongyu the young girl said softly, her voice clear and beautiful

The young girl Hongyu then gently said: "That leader, named Lei Yinyang, is treated as a distinguished guest at the Chu Duke's residence. He possesses a certain technique that allows him to conceal his entire person within shadows, making it impossible for others to detect him. Moreover, his attacks are formless and intangible, as if the shadows themselves could inflict harm, rendering any defense futile"

To know that after the use of the Toad Dragon Mountain River Pearl in the world of space, his lifespan is now only two years left. If there are any demons and monsters in this City God Temple that have been exterminated by the Toad Dragon Mountain River Pearl, it would instead increase his own lifespan. If he wishes to enhance his strength, that place is the best battlefield.
