My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 127 Leather Pants Alley
Gold and water ghost.

One of the seven major water forces in the folk world.

So far.

Jiang Xinghuo has already collected three clues about the treasure of the sea god, namely the patrolling sea yaksha, the sea hunting soldier, and the golden water ghost in his hand.

However, the legend of Poseidon's treasure is too illusory.

The world of folklore is vast and boundless. To collect the seven tokens and find the whereabouts of Poseidon's treasure is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

It was also by luck that Jiang Xinghuo obtained the tokens from the three organizations by chance.

As for the remaining four tokens, whether you can find them depends entirely on luck.

Jiang Xinghuo didn't force it. If he could find it, that would be great. But if he couldn't, he wouldn't force it either. He just threw the token into the magic bag, turned to look at his phone, and continued the game.

"You killed the old doctor."

"The Medical Clinic was reduced to ashes in the raging fire."

"You are walking on the busy street, looking at the bustling and lively Guandong City. Where are you going to go next?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the given map branches and finally chose to explore Leather Pants Alley.

"You choose to go to Leather Pants Alley."

"This alley was originally called Fugui Lane, and it was opposite to Ronghua Lane in the front street. However, the people who lived here were all from poor families."

"Among them, there are two families who have a very good relationship with each other. One of them is called Zhang San and the other is called Wang Er. The two brothers can be said to have a life-long friendship."

"Zhang San is young and strong, and he works as a laborer at the docks. He has saved a lot of money for his wife, daughter and mother at home."

"Wang Er went to school for a few years when he was young and learned some words, so he worked as an accountant at the dock."

"That day, the leader of the dock suddenly called his brothers together and said that the rivals were coming to seize the territory, and asked the brothers to quickly grab their weapons and prepare for a fight."

"Zhang San knew that this fight was extremely dangerous and that he could lose his life if he wasn't careful."

"He was worried that if he lost his life, his wife, daughter and mother would be left without anyone to take care of them, so he entrusted the few taels of silver he had saved to his brother Wang Er."

"If something really happens to him, let him transfer the money to his wife at home."

"As luck would have it, Zhang San was hit on the back of his head by a stick during the gunfight. His skull was shattered and he died on the spot."

"Brother Longtou was very righteous afterwards. He gave fifty taels of silver as resettlement allowance to each of the brothers who died in the fight."

"Zhang San's resettlement allowance was collected by Wang Erdai."

"But Zhang San didn't expect that sake is popular and money is attractive. Although he had planned it, he was blind and trusted the wrong person."

"Because Wang Er did not keep his promise to give the money to Zhang San's wife and daughter, but instead kept it all for himself."

"Wang Er also tried to comfort himself in various ways, saying that the fifty taels of silver could only help him temporarily, not forever. Even if he gave it to Zhang's sister-in-law, it would be a waste of money."

"Why not let him start some business with the money? When he gets rich in the future, he will double the return. He can treat Zhang San's daughter and mother as his own mother and daughter, and Zhang's sister-in-law as his own sister, and ensure that they live a life of wealth and glory."

"I don't know whether Wang Er really thought so or he deceived himself. In short, he hid the money with peace of mind." "Zhang San's wife had no choice but to start the secret door business for the sake of her mother-in-law and daughter's life."

"I didn't expect that misfortune would only pick on the unfortunate. That day, Zhang San's wife was entertaining guests in the room, and her little daughter was left unattended. She fell into the well and drowned in the water."

"When the seriously ill grandmother learned that her granddaughter had drowned, she caught her breath and died with her granddaughter."

"Zhang San's wife suffered a series of setbacks and lost hope of living. After taking care of her daughter and mother-in-law's funeral, she took a rope and hanged herself on the beam of the house."

"As the saying goes: If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. Once a person does something wrong, he will definitely feel guilty, and Wang Er is no exception."

"After learning about what happened to Zhang San's family, Wang Er felt uneasy. He couldn't sit still or lie still, couldn't eat or sleep well, and every night when he closed his eyes, he would see Zhang San's family coming to claim his life."

"In the end, everything seemed to be an enemy, just like a frightened rabbit, breaking into a cold sweat at the slightest movement."

"On the seventh night of the death, Wang Er went completely crazy. He first ran to the kitchen, picked up a hatchet, and hacked his wife and son to death in the room. Then he ran to his parents' house and chopped off their heads as well."

"Finally, I knelt at the door of Zhang San's house, crying and laughing, and then I sawed off my head with a broken hatchet."

"Since then, this alley has become uneasy. Weeping and wailing can often be heard from Wang Er and Zhang San's homes."

"Later, I heard that there was also a haunted Leather Pants Alley in Beijing, so some people with good intentions named Fugui Alley as Leather Pants Alley as well. As time went by, the name of Fugui Alley became less well-known."

"You have reached Leather Pants Alley."

"You came to the evil doctor's house and dug out a mahogany box under the big banyan tree in the yard."

"You use the key to open the mahogany box."

"You have obtained: a human meridian scroll, a Dengshekong grass, a water guardian, a bottle of pufferfish toxin essence, a moth-proof talisman, and a general talisman."

"The Human Meridian Painting Scroll (Ordinary Prop), a painting scroll that depicts the direction of the human meridians in detail. Studying it can help you understand the laws governing the circulation of meridians and acupuncture points."

Jiang Xinghuo chose to study directly.

"You have mastered the changes of the human body's meridians during the four seasons."

Jiang Xinghuo only felt a "buzz" and a lot of new things appeared in his mind, including the location of acupoints, the direction of meridians, as well as the changes of the four seasons and the operation of acupoints and meridians.

Yes, Not Bad.

Jiang Xinghuo nodded. Even if he couldn't do anything else in the future, he could still open a Chinese medicine massage parlor with his skills.

"Shekong Grass (excellent material), an extremely rare herb. After taking it, one can fly through the air. However, after taking this medicine, one cannot eat meat for the rest of his life. One can only eat flowers and plants, otherwise it will become highly poisonous."

Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows when he saw the description in the text. Lingkong Xudu looked very impressive, but compared with its price, it was not worth it.

He shook his head and continued looking at other things.

"Shui Tai Bao (excellent), a spirit born in Da Tan, can purify water, turning ordinary spring water into medicinal springs, thus curing diseases and healing people."

Jiang Xinghuo directly put it into the Water God Palace. With the blessing of Shui Taibao, the water in the river was instantly covered with a layer of white light, which complemented the green light and emitted a faint medicinal fragrance.
