My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 164: Happy God City

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo immediately put it into his magic bag and placed it deep in the corner. As long as he was not dead, no one would be able to find this Corpse King Gu.

As for cultivating this Corpse King Gu to perfection?
Excuse me.

Jiang Xinghuo had no such idea at all.

Just pretend it never happened.

What is Corpse King Gu?

what's that?
I don’t know! I haven’t seen it! I haven’t heard of it!

Jiang Xinghuo calmed himself down and looked at several other things. These things still looked more reliable.

"Life-replacing Gu (rare consumable item), a mature life-replacing Gu worm, extremely rare in the world. Put it into your heart to offset a fatal injury. It can also be used in real life. After the Gu worm dies, its body will turn into pure vitality to repair your injuries."

"And after being implanted in your body, it will not cause any adverse effects on your body."

"Do you want to use the life-replacing Gu?"

After seeing the detailed introduction about the life-substitute insect, Jiang Xinghuo was delighted. He never expected that this insect could be so effective in reality!

It has the same effect as the Phoenix Feather, both are mysterious items that can bring the dead back to life.

To be on the safe side, Jiang Xinghuo also used Tathagata's Treasury to observe and make sure that the poisonous insect would not have any adverse effects after entering the body, and then absorbed it into the body.

A plump silkworm slowly crawled along the palm of the hand, then turned into wisps of white light and drilled into the arm.

Jiang Xinghuo could clearly feel a cold current flowing through his body, finally converging at his heart.

Then, everything returned to normal.

Jiang Xinghuo didn't feel any discomfort. Instead, he felt full of energy, as if he had just finished meditating.

He looked at the remaining two things.

"Hundred Corpse Gu (common item), a precursor Gu worm cultivated by a young Gu Master when developing the Corpse King Gu. It has devoured the flesh and blood of hundreds of corpses, and the corpse poison it contains should not be underestimated."

"Corpse Bottle (common item), a bottle used by Gu Masters to absorb and contain corpse qi. It can prevent the corpse qi in the bottle from leaking out and causing unnecessary casualties."

So far.

Everything has been accounted for.

Jiang Xinghuo took a careful look and found that he had reaped a rich harvest. Apart from the most evil Corpse King Gu, the most valuable one was the mature Life-Substitute Gu.

The rest are just bonus items.

He stayed in the underground secret room for a while, and after making sure that nothing was left out, he controlled the character to leave the ancient Gu Master's residence.

"You left the Miao Gu Master's residence."

"You continue along the official road, heading towards Xishen City. You will run into many drug addicts and heavy smokers along the way."

"They stare at you eagerly, as if they want to cut open your chest and take away your internal organs."

"Finally, someone couldn't help it."

"You were attacked by the Smoky Man."

"You took out the box gun from your trick bag."

"You killed the Smoky Man."

"You gain incense +100."

"Your behavior has frightened the others. Those drug addicts and heavy smokers are afraid of the box gun in your hand and dare not take even a step closer."

"You got rid of these refugees."

"You continue to rush towards Xishen City."

"The journey is ongoing..."

"It is expected to arrive in seven hours."

"If you can choose a means of transportation, maybe you can shorten your travel time."

"You summoned a griffin."

"The journey is in progress..." "It is expected to arrive in five hours."

Is Xishen City so far away from Beiping?

Looking at the time given on the game text, Jiang Xinghuo was quite surprised, but fortunately he still had the method of divine movement.

"You used the magic of walking."

"The griffin was blessed by the art of divine movement and turned into a stream of golden light, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye."

"The journey is ongoing..."

"It is expected to arrive at Xishen City in half an hour."

Jiang Xinghuo nodded with satisfaction. Half an hour was about right. If it was seven or eight hours, it would be a waste of time.

that's it.

Jiang Xinghuo waited for half an hour.

Half an hour later.

A text message notification sound came from the game.

"You have arrived at the City of Joy"

"You have arrived outside Xishen City. The tall city walls show the traces of time, and are no worse than Guandong City."

"You found a shrine at the corner of the city wall."

"You have lit up the shrine of the City of Joy."

"Do you want to enter the City of Joy?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought to himself that he had gone through so much trouble, if he didn't get in, wouldn't it be all in vain?
"You choose to enter the City of Joy."

"But the moment you walked into the city gate, you suddenly felt your body go limp and you almost fell to the ground."

"It turns out that you used the divine movement method to travel quickly, which consumed too much physical strength and energy. Now you can't hold on any longer."

"You'd better find a place to rest, otherwise you will pass out on the street and be mistaken for a corpse by those corpse collectors. They will take you to the crematorium and burn you in the furnace."

After seeing this text, Jiang Xinghuo opened the inventory, found a Mountain God Gallbladder in it, and chose to use it.

"You took a mountain god's gall."

"Your physical strength and energy are instantly restored, and you are even more energetic than before. The medicinal properties of the Mountain God Gallbladder are spreading in your body, slowly affecting your internal organs. For at least seven or eight days, you won't feel any fatigue."

"Xishen City is one of the largest cities in the secular world. Because it is only ten miles away from Maoshan, Taoist priests from Maoshan often come here to perform rituals."

"The people in the city have been influenced by what they have seen and heard over time, and as time has passed, they have also learned a little bit of magic, so most of the industries they work in are related to funerals."

"The old tailor's shroud shop, the paper-making craftsman's paper figurine shop, the dead carpenter's coffin shop, the mourner's funeral music shop, the undertaker's ghost cemetery, the corpse-stitching shop of the corpse-sewers, the coffin-bearers' coffin-carrying room, the undertaker's funeral home, the corpse-collector's crematorium..."

"Where do you plan to go first?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the map and decided not to go anywhere for the time being. He just wanted to take a quick look around the city.

At least you have to know a little about the city first.

"You are walking on the streets of Xishen City."

"You find the streets are filled with smoke and the smell of burning incense and candles. You can't tell who's on the road, and you can only see vague figures."

Seeing this text message, Jiang Xinghuo's heart suddenly skipped a beat. With the intensity of this game, he was afraid that he would die a few more times.

as predicted.

next moment.

The game text has changed.

"While you were walking, you ran into some corpse collectors. When they saw you, they thought you were a leper who had faked his death. They immediately put a sack around you, tied you up, dragged you to the crematorium, and threw you into the crematorium."

"You are dead."

Jiang Xinghuo was speechless. Someone died just after entering the city. What kind of looks did these corpse collectors have? Can’t they tell the difference between the living and the dead?

On purpose, right?
