My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 145 Forbidden Immortal
"Do you want to go to the private residence of the master of Dashengkui now?"

After seeing this game text, Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a while and then chose no.

According to the description in the text, the former private residence of the owner of Dashengkui was located in the red-light district of Peking City, and there must have been a lot of people coming and going at night.

If we go there now, we might attract the covetousness of some evildoers. It would be safer to wait until daybreak to explore.

"You started wandering around the night market in Beiping City, but you never expected to end up back at Stone Lane."

"What are you going to do now? Continue exploring in Stone Alley? Or just find an empty house to sleep in?"

"You choose to continue exploring the alley."

"You come to the gate of a small courtyard. Two stone doors are half-open and there is a faint flickering candlelight behind the door. Do you want to go in and take a look?"

"You pushed the door open and walked in. It was a small, narrow courtyard with only a shabby house and a coffin, nothing else."

"You walked to the side of the coffin and found that it was very strange. It was made of cast iron. According to folklore, only those who were extremely ominous would be buried in cast iron coffins."

"Do you want to open the casket?"

"You made your choice. Open the coffin and see the body."

"You used extremely violent means to forcibly break open the sealed iron coffin, and the thick corpse gas gushed out, all of which hit you in the face."

"Yin and Yang are two different paths. The living cannot see the dead. Now that you have forcibly broken open the coffin, you will be the first to bear the brunt of it. This is a big taboo!"

"You have been cursed by the forbidden fairy."

"There have been many rules in the Yin business since ancient times. If you break the rules, you will be in big trouble. At the very least, everything will go wrong, and at the worst, your whole family will die!"

"You are cursed by a forbidden immortal. Every day when yin and yang meet, you will suddenly die."

"You have triggered the effect of the Heavenly Official's Blessing Seal, and have been blessed by the power of the Absolute Freedom, which has temporarily offset the curse of the Forbidden Immortal. As long as you do not violate the taboos, you will not end up dying a violent death."

"But this is only a temporary measure, because there are countless taboos and rules in the secular world. If you slack off even a little, you will end up with a tragic death."

"If you want to completely get rid of the curse on your body, you can only follow the footsteps of the forbidden immortal. If you can inherit the forbidden law, the curse will naturally no longer be a threat to you."

"Of course, if you can find the inheritance of Lord Tianguan, you can also remove the curse of the forbidden immortal."

Seeing the game text pop up on the screen, Jiang Xinghuo thought for a moment, isn't this just adding a negative BUFF to himself?
If you break the taboo, you will die.

It seems that the days ahead will be difficult. I must find a way to break the curse as soon as possible. I will go back to Fuchun Teahouse to see if the storyteller may have any clues.

Jiang Xinghuo thought as he controlled the character to continue exploring.

"You stepped back a few steps, and after the corpse aura in the coffin dissipated, you stepped forward and began to search for treasures in the coffin."

"You found a picture of the King of Hell, a piece of horror wood, a whip to beat ghosts, a ghost head guillotine, a small book of life and death, the corpse of a general of the previous dynasty, and an iron coffin to suppress evil."

"Yanwangtu (excellent item), Yanwang Senluo Palace, Yaolingsheng Zhenjun, the Yanwangtu drawn by the Immortal in the Painting, has the function of suppressing evil spirits and driving away evil spirits, making all ghosts retreat."

"Shockwood (common item), peach wood for shocking, willow wood for fighting ghosts, a gavel carved from peach wood can be used as an equipment item or as a raw material for forging."

"Ghost-beating whip (common item), peach wood horror, willow wood ghost-beating, a ghost-beating whip made of willow branches, which can be used as an equipment item or as a raw material for forging."

"Ghost Head Guillotine (Excellent Item), a guillotine specially used to kill evil spirits, but it does no harm to living things other than souls."

"Small Book of Life and Death (excellent item), a long-lost magical instrument, specially used to curse the enemy. As long as you write down the date of birth of a person, you can curse and kill the opponent from a distance." "Corpse of a general of the previous dynasty (excellent material), a corpse of a general of the previous dynasty whose age is unknown but well preserved. You can sell it to corpse drivers or alchemists, who can often make the most of this kind of corpse."

"Iron Coffin for Suppressing Evil Spirits (Excellent Item), an iron coffin that has the function of suppressing evil spirits, usually used for those who have deep resentment."

"Note: If you can bury it in running water, the combined effect of the two will be the best, and even the corpse king can be suppressed."

“You put everything in your trick bag.”

"However, just as you were about to leave, you accidentally knocked over the eternal lamp in front of the coffin, and you violated a funeral taboo."

"You have been cursed by the forbidden immortal."

"You died of bleeding from all seven orifices."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the screen speechlessly, consumed a piece of dog food, resurrected on the spot and explored again.

"You're alive again."

"A great adventurer hero learns from his failures."

"I hope that through this death, you can learn a lesson, become more careful, and not violate those taboos again."

"You walked into that old stone house."

"You explored the shabby house and found nothing valuable. The only thing worth a bit of money was the life-size mirror."

"You walk to the mirror and look at your reflection carefully. The more you look, the stranger it seems. Suddenly, you feel dizzy for no apparent reason."

"You looked in the mirror late at night, breaking a taboo, and thus the mirror ghost came to take your life."

"You are dead."

Hey!
Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but swear. If he continued like this, he would have nothing to do. He might break a taboo at any time and die suddenly for no apparent reason.

"You used a scapegoat."

"You woke up next to the shrine in Beiping City. Where do you plan to go next?"

"You chose to go to Fuchun Teahouse."

"You are walking on a street with flickering lights, and suddenly you hear someone calling your name from behind. You subconsciously want to turn around to see, but you are stopped by an old beggar on the street."

"Don't say anything serious when opening a coffin, don't look back on the night road, don't look in the mirror at midnight, don't stay in front of the temple, the living have a hard time at night, the dead need to be kept in the coffin,..."

"There are many rules in the Yin profession, and crossing the line is a taboo."

"The old beggar saw that you were entangled with the curse of the forbidden immortal, so I warned you and saved your life."

"You go up to the old beggar and thank him. He wants you to buy him a pot of wine. Do you want to fulfill his wish?"

Jiang Xinghuo saw that the other person had saved his life, so wasn't it only natural for him to buy a pot of wine?

He immediately went to the teahouse's niche and took a look around, and bought a pot of Drunken Immortal Wine for 20 incense sticks.

"Zuixian Niang (Ordinary), one of the eighty-three kinds of fine wine brewed by the Wine Immortal. It has a rich and mellow aroma that spreads over ten miles, and has the effect of nourishing the soul."
