My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 137 Key
"You swung the Thunder Chisel in your hand, shattering the wall on the left, and jade fragments flew like rain."

"A narrow corridor appears in front of you."

"Do you want to go in and explore?"

"You walked into the dark corridor and found many broken murals on the walls on both sides. However, due to the passage of time, the murals have become blurred and many things are not clear."

"You were about to go deeper when you suddenly felt a wave of heat, followed by a strong wave of nausea and dizziness. Your skin began to become dry and cracked, and even your hair gradually turned dry and yellow, falling off like weeds..."

"You are attacked by high temperature. The water in your body evaporates quickly and your vision begins to become blurry."

"You've become severely dehydrated and have heatstroke."

"You passed out."

"You are dead..."

Seeing the death text message pop up, Jiang Xinghuo frowned slightly, opened the inventory, found the small yellow pill and chose to use it.

However, not long after walking out, the game soon popped up a death prompt again, and even the cause of death had not changed. It was all due to excessive water loss, organ failure, and heatstroke.

Jiang Xinghuo was unwilling to believe in evil and resurrected to explore again. After dying several times, he finally came to the end of the corridor.

But what Jiang Xinghuo didn't expect was that the end of the corridor was empty. There was nothing except those broken murals.

But at this moment, a new text message popped up in the game.

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You found a bead among the ruins of the mural on the wall. Do you want to pick it up?"

"You have obtained the Horned Dragon Ball."

"Horned Dragon Ball (rare material), a large snake will turn into a viper after 500 years, a water viper will turn into a dragon after 500 years, a large dragon will turn into a dragon after 1,000 years, a dragon will turn into a horned dragon after 1,000 years, and will evolve into a Yinglong after 1,000 years."

"This dragon ball is the one under the chin of the horned dragon. If you integrate it into your body, you will not only be able to breathe freely underwater and walk on water as if it were flat ground, but you will also be able to withstand temperatures below 1000℃..."

"You have integrated the Horned Dragon Ball into your body."

"You suddenly feel a coolness all over your body, and the scorching heat in the tunnel no longer has any effect on you."

"It's just that after you took the Horned Dragon Ball, the tunnel lost its support and collapsed directly. Countless bricks and stones fell into the deep pit, and you discovered that there was actually a simple tomb under the tunnel."

"It was previously covered by stones piled on the surface, but now it has been revealed with the collapse. The unbearable burning breath came from this tomb."

"Do you want to go in and explore?"

"You chose to enter the tomb."

"Exploring the tomb..."

"You found the fragment of the Sun Skyfire."

"You solved the mystery of the anomaly in the underground palace corridor. It turns out that there is a fragment of the Sun Fire hidden here. This is also the reason why your body quickly dehydrated and died."

"Fragments of the Sun's Sky Fire (rare material). In ancient times, meteorites often fell into the mortal world. Lord Qingnang stayed overnight at Yanbo Terrace and left behind a document recording the Nine Great Sky Fires."

"The most domineering of them is the Sun Fire, which can burn everything. It is said that when the Sun Fire fell to the ground in the past, the area within a hundred miles was instantly turned into a scorched earth, and all living things were wiped out." Jiang Xinghuo wanted to take it out to have a look, but he was worried that the power of the Sun Fire was too great. If it burned down the street, he would be a lack of virtue.

So, Jiang Xinghuo finally suppressed his curiosity, and just carefully put it into the magic bag and buried it deep underground in the material world.

Then, Jiang Xinghuo continued to look at other things.

"You have obtained the key to the Yellow River Underground Palace x5."

"The key to the Yellow River Underground Palace (consumable item). Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a powerful being called Yellow River Lord on earth. He mastered the mysterious laws of tides and had countless disciples. He built an underground palace under the Yellow River, burying countless treasures and secrets."

"But if you want to enter the underground palace, you must have the token of Mr. Huang He. It is a key made from Mr. Huang He's remains. There are seven keys in total. When the seven keys are gathered together, the entrance to the underground palace of Mr. Huang He will appear."

"You already have six keys to the Yellow River Underground Palace."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the pop-up game text and flipped forward to read the game's text records.

He remembered that not long after he entered the game, he was ambushed by a player with the ID "Shan Shen Ye".

Later, he killed him and took a lot of good things from him, including a key to the Yellow River Underground Palace.

But he did not take it seriously at that time, because the folk world is vast and the seven keys are scattered throughout the secular world. It would take a long time to collect them all, which is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

So I threw the key into the magic bag. I didn't expect that when I was exploring this mass grave underground palace, I would collect all five keys at once.

Including the key in his hand, it means that as long as he finds the last key, he can open the treasure left by Mr. Huang He.

At this time, new text popped up in the game.

Jiang Xinghuo read it carefully before he understood the whole story.

It turns out that all the things were stored here by the subordinates of the owner of the underground palace, which is why this tomb is so simple.

The owner of the tomb failed in his bid for succession and was exiled. He had hoped to make a comeback in the future with the help of the Yellow River treasure and the fragments of the skyfire, but he was executed halfway through.

Its loyal subordinates did not want these things to fall into the hands of other people, so they found a Feng Shui master to open a simple tomb, buried all the things left by their master in it, and committed suicide to follow their master.

But in the end, all the benefits went to Jiang Xinghuo.

Jiang Xinghuo searched the tomb chamber below and confirmed that there was nothing valuable except the fragments of the Skyfire and the five keys, so he returned to the tomb chamber above.

Perhaps because of the identity of the tomb owner, there was nothing special about the things Jiang Xinghuo found in the other two coffins.

“Phoenix Patterned Longevity Clothes (Excellent Item), a robe that only the queen of the royal family can wear. It has the effect of warding off evil spirits and preventing corpses from resurrecting.”

"Sparrow Patterned Jade Robe with Hundred Blessings (Excellent Item), a robe that can only be worn by the imperial concubines. It has the effect of exorcising evil spirits and preventing corpses from resurrecting."

"Two groups of royal remains (excellent material), the remains of the corpses of royal relatives of the previous dynasty, they were beautiful when alive, and did not decay after death. They contain a faint trace of royal blood, which can be used for medicine, refining tools, offering sacrifices, planting life bases, etc. If you know how to refine corpses and nourish souls, perhaps there will be other uses."

"A dried dragon claw (excellent material). A dried dragon claw is an enhanced version of the Nine Dragon Bone-Dissolving Talisman. Just scratch the skin outside the throat to dissolve the bones and remove the thorns."
