My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 102 Daxinganling
Jiang Xinghuo hesitated for a while and finally decided to choose no. He didn't want to lose his life here in vain.

"You used the power of the invisibility cloak to avoid everyone's eyes and quietly came to the third floor of the flower shop."

"This was originally the residence of the owner of Xihuafang, but he was invited by the city lord to attend a banquet at the city lord's mansion tonight, so the house is now empty."

"You explored the house carefully and found a copied map, a brass key, a hundred-year-old wild ginseng, a golden scale robe, and a directional teleportation talisman."

"Daxing'anling Underground Palace Route Map (Ordinary Item). Guandong Daxing'anling is the oldest and most mysterious place in the secular world. Countless treasures and secrets are buried under the snow. This map records the whereabouts of an underground palace and the detailed structure of its internal mechanisms."

"Brass Key (Common Item), a key found by the flower shop owner in the underground palace. It may be the key to open a tomb door or a treasure chest. Of course, it may be useless."

"Wild ginseng (ordinary), a wild ginseng that is about to develop intelligence. It has been aged for a hundred years. You can untie the copper coin red string from it and transplant it to your own magic space. Perhaps you can let this wild ginseng continue to grow."

Jiang Xinghuo became interested and after entering the magic space, he took out the wild ginseng.

I saw a wild ginseng as long as my forearm, wrapped in red thread, dotted with mottled copper coins, and wrapped in a layer of birch bark.

Jiang Xinghuo knew that this was the method used by those ginseng hunters. It was said that when ginseng reaches a certain temperature, it will develop spirituality and will disappear underground at the slightest disturbance.

Therefore, those experienced ginseng hunters use red ropes with copper coins attached to them to catch wild ginseng. Once entangled by the red rope, the wild ginseng can no longer escape underground and can only be eaten by others.

After the ginseng is pulled out, it must be wrapped in birch bark to prevent it from escaping or losing its medicinal properties.

Jiang Xinghuo exerted a little force with his hands, crushed the birch bark on the outside, and untied the red rope wrapped around the ginseng.

Just as the rope was untied, the copper coins rustled, and the wild ginseng suddenly jumped out, went into an open space and disappeared.

After a long time, it carefully stretched out a root. Seeing Jiang Xinghuo still standing there, it shuddered again with fright and quickly hid underground.

Jiang Xinghuo laughed in silence, ignored the little guy, said a few words to the griffin, left the magic bag, went back to the store, and continued to look at his phone.

"Golden Scale Armor (Excellent Item), a protective soft armor forged by the Taoist Master Shengong. Wearing it can resist the attacks of mechanical devices. No hidden weapon can break the protection of the golden scale armor."

"Directional Teleportation Talisman (Excellent Consumable Item), a talisman that can teleport to a certain place."

Jiang Xinghuo flipped through the text and had some guesses in his mind. This teleportation talisman should be the way to get to the underground palace in Daxinganling.

The flower shop owner prepared so many things, but in the end he lost all of them.

"Let me go and have a look for you."

Jiang Xinghuo opened the inventory, found the directional teleportation talisman, and directly chose to use it.

"You used the directional teleportation talisman."

"Transmitting..."

"Transmission completed."

"You have arrived in Daxing'anling."

"The Greater Khingan Range is a mountain range deep in the east of the Guandong region. It is surrounded by mountains and is covered in snow. The wind and frost have not melted it for thousands of years. Looking around, there is no one living. Even the most experienced hunters in the mountains dare not say that they can escape from the Greater Khingan Range unscathed."

"You stand in a valley and can vaguely see a gravel path under your feet. You walk up the mountain along the gravel path."

"You found a broken shrine."

"This is also the shrine left behind by Fengdu back then, but after years of erosion by wind and snow, coupled with external damage, the shrine is on the verge of breaking. There are only three chances left to use it."

"You lit up the shrine in the Daxinganling Underground Palace." There are three more times left.

Jiang Xinghuo thought to himself that if he was lucky, three chances should be enough. He also had the elixir gourd and the scapegoat in his hand. As long as he was careful, exploring the entire underground palace should not be a problem.

But at this moment, the game text suddenly changed.

"You were attacked by a mandrill."

"Mandrill (ordinary), a monster that lives in the Greater Khingan Range. It looks like an ape, has a body as hard as a rock, and is extremely powerful. It likes to eat human brains."

"How are you going to deal with this mandrill?"

Listed below are the methods that Jiang Xinghuo currently possesses, but Jiang Xinghuo noticed that the Five Thunder Method and Palm Thunder are both gray and cannot be used.

"You unfolded the Suicune Palace."

"You used the Xinghe Water Control Technique."

"Under the blessing of the tidal law, the water flow turned into a whirlpool, stirring up a huge snowstorm, freezing more than a dozen mandrills in the whirlpool."

"You swung the Qiankun stick in your hand to smash the frozen vortex, and the mandrills also shattered to the ground."

"You have acquired the claws of the mandrill."

"You have acquired the sinews of a mandrill."

"You have acquired the frozen blood of the mandrill."

These things are good materials for refining medicine. Jiang Xinghuo hung them on the niche, but they were soon snatched away.

“You continue along the gravel path.”

"Soon, you discovered an entrance hidden by a stone door."

"Take out the underground palace map. This is one of the two entrances to the underground palace. The other entrance is on the other side of the mountain."

"You followed the records on the route map and found the mechanism to open the stone door. It turned out to be an inconspicuous big stone."

"As several mechanical sounds sounded, the stone door at the entrance of the underground palace slowly moved aside, and a dark cave appeared in front of you."

"You poked your head in and took a closer look. The passage is fairly wide, with a staircase leading down. The walls on both sides are covered with broken bronze chains."

"Do you want to go in and find out?"

"You walked into the underground palace, and the stone door behind you closed again. You carefully looked at the chains on both sides of the wall and saw that there were shackles and shackles on them, which seemed to have imprisoned some creatures."

"But now those shackles have been broken, and the imprisoned creatures are no longer restrained. I just don't know whether they have left or are hiding in this underground palace."

"You put away the bronze chains and slowly walked down the steps. You found many murals on both sides of the wall. They seemed to depict the past of the owner of the underground palace."

"Dozens of murals are painted on the walls on both sides of the passage, and several of them depict the construction process of the underground palace. The contents of these murals are indeed the life stories of the owner of the underground palace."

"You also learned the identity of the master of the underground palace."

"His name is Qing Nang Gong."
