My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 139 Caixi Pavilion

"You came to the overpass in the west of the city."

"This is where street performers gather. There are all kinds of people, from all walks of life, from all walks of life, and all kinds of masters."

"As the saying goes: With wine flags and drums playing in the Tianqiao market, many tourists forget about home."

"However, if foreign artists want to establish themselves in Beiping, they must rely on their real skills. Just talking nonsense won't do."

"But if you can make a name for yourself on the overpass of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, then no matter where you go, people in the world will recognize your name, and you won't have to worry about food and drink."

"You walk around the streets and see all kinds of weird tricks and acrobatics. It really opens your eyes."

"At this point, you see a juggler."

"More than a dozen fire knives flew in its hands, like shooting stars chasing the moon, making people dazzled."

"It was the juggler I met at the Kanto Great Temple."

"Are you going to go up and say hello? Or are you just going to be an ordinary spectator and say something after the scene is over?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and chose the latter. He just acted as an ordinary spectator and gave a reward of fifty incense sticks.

And since the game text gives this option, there must be subsequent plot triggers.

Jiang Xinghuo waited for more than half an hour, and several new text messages popped up in the game.

"As time went by, the sky gradually darkened, and the bustling overpass also came to an end for the day."

"Those street performers who came here to perform have also dispersed and packed up their stalls, preparing to go home and continue tomorrow."

"The juggler also noticed you at this time and hurriedly stepped forward to greet you with a fist salute. It is a rare fate to meet an old friend here again."

"You two go to the restaurant next door. You spend 200 incense sticks and treat the juggler to a meal and a drink in the restaurant."

"The juggler was very grateful to you, so he told you a rumor that was circulating on the overpass."

"According to folk legend, before the dawn of the night, there was a Caixi Pavilion in Beiping City. The owner of the pavilion was a big shot in the Caimen. He was best at the fish and dragon transformation method and was also the leader of the Tianqiao."

"But later, for some unknown reason, the Caixi Pavilion was destroyed overnight, and all the disciples died tragically under their own magic tricks."

"The Nine Gates Supervisor led people to investigate for a long time, but they couldn't find any clues. In the end, they had to let it go."

"Since then, the Caixi Pavilion has been haunted, and people can often hear the sound of magic tricks coming from inside."

"Later, some brave people went in to explore, but they didn't expect to receive the teachings of Master Yin, and learned a magic trick, thus becoming famous in the world."

"After that, more and more people entered. It is said that as long as you light a white candle in the room, you will have a chance to learn from Master Yin."

"But whether it can be accomplished or not depends entirely on each person's fate."

"If you're lucky, even if you don't receive the teachings from Master Yin, you can still return home safely."

"But if the star of disaster is overshadowing it, and bad luck is upon it, then it can only wait for its family to collect its body."

The juggler was drunk and fell asleep.

The text plot related to him also ends here.

What follows should be the "Colorful Playhouse" plot mentioned by the juggler.

Jiang Xinghuo had read the relevant records about the so-called Yin Master's teachings. To put it simply, it was the deceased master's elders who taught the Dharma in dreams so as not to cut off the inheritance of their own sect. "Do you want to go to Caixi Pavilion to find out?"

Jiang Xinghuo didn't think much about it and chose yes directly. He wanted to see what kind of plot would be triggered. Maybe he could also find a Yin master to teach him some skills.

But before that, Jiang Xinghuo went to buy some white wax sticks, and then controlled the character to walk towards Caixi Pavilion.

"You have arrived, Caixi Pavilion."

"Two mottled and dilapidated red lacquer doors show the former glory of Caixi Pavilion. You stepped onto the stone steps and walked into the courtyard."

"The Caixi Pavilion is overgrown with weeds, and many magic props are scattered throughout the spacious courtyard."

"You explored the yard carefully..."

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You found a mask of various shapes, a box of mother green aphid coins, two golden sword pills, a magic rope, and the fragments of the invisibility technique..."

"The Mask of Change (Ordinary Prop), a prop commonly used by the Color Gate Magician. When worn on the face, it can instantly change into other appearances. In the eyes of each person, it has a different appearance. It is also a mask developed by the Color Gate Magician to avoid enemies."

"The Mother-and-Child Green Fly Coin (common item), a copper coin coated with green fly blood, has the effect of returning once it is gone, and can be said to be inexhaustible and can be used endlessly."

"Golden Sword Pill (Ordinary Item/Rare Item), originally a method for Shushan sword cultivators to practice sword energy, was later obtained by the magician of Caimen and became a reliance for traveling around the world."

"It's a pity that this pair of sword balls have become ordinary items. The gold essence Qi has been used up. If you want to restore them, you can only nourish them with the lung gold Qi in your body. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."

Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the text and took the two sword balls into reality. He saw two black rusty iron balls lying quietly in the palm of his hand, without any magical features.

"Is this Jianwan?"

Jiang Xinghuo tried to mobilize his magic power, but the sword ball did not respond at all, just like an ordinary iron ball.

"It can only be nourished by the Qi of the lung metal in the body..."

Jiang Xinghuo read the game text again, and with a thought, the Five Elements Escape Technique started to rotate.

A beam of white light swept out, like a star attacking the moon, and instantly rolled up the two golden sword pills and took them into the body.

I hope to rely on the power of the Five Elements Lung Gold God to restore the two sword pills to their former glory.

In the end, only the immortal rope and the fragments of the invisibility technique were left.

"The Immortal Rope (Excellent Item), a prop used by Caimen Magicians to escape. It can be used to teleport anywhere within a 500-meter radius. The disadvantage is that the pre-swing is too long. It takes at least five seconds to use the Immortal Rope."

"Invisibility Technique Fragment (Ordinary Technique), an invisibility technique that can be performed without the aid of any props. It is often used in performances of transforming living people. However, it can only hide the body shape, but not the fluctuations of one's own power. Once an attack is launched, it will immediately become ineffective."

"Do you want to learn this technique?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose to practice, and the method of invisibility immediately appeared in his mind.

Jiang Xinghuo tried it, and a strange wave of magic power flashed by. When he walked in front of the mirror, his figure had disappeared.

The only regret is that when using invisibility, you cannot use other spells, otherwise the invisibility will become ineffective immediately.

There's no way to be an assassin.

After searching the courtyard of Caixi Pavilion, Jiang Xinghuo set his sights on a few houses...
