My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 144 Dashengkui's Treasure
"You have obtained a wolf tooth necklace, a tiger bone hunting knife, a yak horn, a mysterious letter, a yak bone bowl, a sky iron vajra, and a spell to summon gods."

"Wolf Tooth Necklace (Ordinary Item), a necklace made from the canine teeth of a grassland snow wolf. Wearing it can ward off evil spirits and can also be used as a magical tool for shamans to cast spells."

"Tiger Bone Hunting Knife (Ordinary Item), a hunting knife made from the bones of a black tiger from outside the Great Wall. The beastly aura it exudes can scare away most wild beasts in the mountains. It also has a powerful killing power against evil spirits and ghosts. It can also be used as a magical tool for shamans to cast spells."

"Note: It has no deterrent effect on snakes, insects, rats and ants, and is limited to wild beasts in the mountains."

"Yak horns (excellent props), the horns left behind by hundreds of yaks after their death, are tools that herders on the grassland carry with them. They can not only purify water and remove poisons, but also guide herders in the correct direction when they are lost. The direction pointed by the horns is due east."

"Yak bone Kabala bowl (common prop), a Kabala bowl made of yak bone fragments, is also a common tool used by herders. Pour cold water and tea leaves into the bowl, and in a few moments, it will become a bowl of steaming hot butter tea to replenish the energy consumed by the body."

"Heavenly Iron Vajra Phur (excellent tool), blessed by a tantric Zen master, forged from meteorite fragments from outer space, it can dispel all the evil thoughts of the heretics that confuse the mind."

"Summoning God Technique (Excellent Consumable Item). When herders are walking on the grasslands and encounter dangers that they cannot resist, they can activate the power of the Summoning God Technique to obtain the legendary blessing of the Eternal Heaven, and obtain the spiritual energy of all things such as the sun, moon, wind and rain, thunder and lightning, mountains and rivers, land and rivers."

Jiang Xinghuo studied them and found that the functions of these props were rather subtle. They were not particularly useful to him, but they could not be said to be completely useless, especially the spell to summon gods. He wondered if people outside the grassland could use it.

Changshengtian is the supreme god of the Mongolian nation, similar to Haotian God in the Central Plains mythology, Donghuang Taiyi in the Chu mythology, and Nuwa in the Kunlun mythology.

This also indirectly proves that the body in the ruined temple was a herdsman from the grasslands outside the Great Wall.

But why did it travel thousands of miles from the grassland to Beijing? And why did it risk its life in a deserted mountain temple?

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the last thing.

"Mysterious Letter (Ordinary Item), a letter written in Mongolian, Sanskrit, and ancient Shamanic characters. Only by deciphering all three at the same time can we know the specific content of the letter."

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"The ink on the letter began to wriggle, and finally condensed together. The ancient characters on the letter were recompiled and translated into words you can recognize."

"You found the clue to Dashengkui's treasure."

"Dashengkui was once one of the most famous businesses in the secular world. Its business spanned the entire northern part of the secular world. With Beiping as the boundary, Beiyang, Guandong, Grassland, Luosha, Yingzhou, Silla, Goryeo... all had Dashengkui businesses. It was also the leader of the Eight Imperial Merchants."

"I have traveled the secular world for many years and accumulated countless treasures and wealth. However, since the night of dawn, the eight great imperial merchants have been liquidated. Most of the gold and silver treasures have been taken away by those separatist ghost families, and all the disciples have died or been injured."

"Those who were lucky enough to escape went to the bitter cold lands beyond the Great Wall and rarely set foot in the Middle-earth again."

"But even a cunning rabbit has three burrows, let alone those famous big businessmen. I don't know how many ambushes they have set up and how many unknown treasures they have hidden, just so that if something unexpected happens one day, their descendants will have the capital to make a comeback."

"This grassland herdsman is the descendant of the founder of Dashengkui. He fled to the grasslands outside the Great Wall with his ancestors and has been hiding his identity for many years, fearing that he would attract those who covet the treasure."

"Until the storm gradually faded, it was ready to return to the interior of the country to find the treasures left by its ancestors, one of which was in Beiping City."

"According to what is written on the letter, the treasure is buried in the house of the head of Dashengkui in Peking. However, as time has passed, we don't know whether the house is still there or whether the treasure has been discovered."

"You have obtained the clue of the residence of the founder of Dashengkui." "What do you want to do next?"

"Will you choose to find a place to bury the herdsmen's bodies, or abandon them and leave them exposed in the wilderness?"

"You chose to bury the body."

"You buried the herdsman's body, which was infected by snake venom, under the crooked tree outside the temple. But just as you were about to leave, you suddenly heard a faint cat cry."

"Then a blue hand broke out of the ground! The herdsman you buried underground has risen from the ground!"

"You were attacked by zombies."

"You used Palm Thunder."

"You chop the herdsman's body back into the pit, then sprinkle a drop of dragon oil on it to turn it into a handful of ashes."

"Look up at the crooked tree."

"You heard it very clearly just now. The cat's cry came from the tree, and you saw a black leather bag."

"You got it, cat ghost."

"Cat ghost (excellent), the soul of a dead cat, can not only secretly devour the internal organs and flesh of the living, killing people invisibly, but also turn the dead into zombies, causing trouble in the world."

“As the saying goes: a dead cat is hung on a tree, a dead dog is thrown into the water.”

"According to folklore, cats and dogs are born with psychic powers and can see things that humans cannot."

"So after these two animals die, they cannot be buried casually. They must be buried in a special way to avoid disasters in the family."

"Because cats have nine lives, they must be hung on treetops after death, exposed to wind and rain, until they become mummies, and only then can they die completely. Otherwise, they will be resurrected and take revenge on their owners."

"After a dog dies, it needs to be thrown into water. It must be running water, not stagnant water. The vitality of the running water can wash away the resentment, and this will avoid all kinds of ominous disasters."

"Look at the skin hanging on the tree. The cat's body has already dried up. It won't be long before it is completely dead. You don't need to waste time dealing with it anymore."

"You left the mountain temple."

"You activated the shrine at the foot of the mountain and teleported outside of Peking."

"Since the dawn of the night, there has been no curfew in Beiping City. Although it is late at night, there are still many people coming and going. Most of them are romantic people who are looking for pleasure and going to the red-light district."

"The owner of Dashengkui's private residence in Beiping City is also located in those red-light districts. Do you want to go there now?"
