My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 169 Painted Skin
In this way, Jiang Xinghuo continued to stay in the funeral home, doing the same repetitive work every day, occasionally dying once or twice and getting some insignificant little things in return.

Until three days later.

There are finally new changes to the game text.

"After a period of hard work and practice, you finally made a complete candle on your own without any help."

“You got the appreciation of the undertaker.”

"It gives you something as a reward."

"You have obtained the Great Disaster Pill."

"Great Disaster Pill (common consumable item), the undertaker asked the Maoshan Taoist to refine the pill using disaster energy. After taking it, one can avoid the harm caused by disaster energy."

"Bad luck, the last breath of human breath exhaled by a person before death, is the most turbid thing in the world. If you are infected with this bad luck, at the very least you will be unlucky for three years, at the worst you will suffer from a myriad of diseases."

"Funeral shops deal with the dead, so they inevitably have to deal with corpses. If they encounter someone who died unjustly or with hatred, their bad luck can cost them their lives."

"Do you want to take this pill?"

After reading the description in the text, Jiang Xinghuo chose to use it without much hesitation.

At this time, another game text popped up on the screen.

"Your talisman for the visitor has taken effect."

"A few people came over from the Wedding Hall, saying that Lady Hong had suddenly hanged herself in her bedroom in the middle of the night for some unknown reason."

After seeing this text, Jiang Xinghuo thought to himself that it had finally arrived.

This was the opportunity he had been waiting for. Now that Hongniang was hanged in the room, he could go in and explore openly without having to worry about being discovered by those blessed people.

"You have triggered the side quest, Red Lady's Funeral."

"Do you want to accept this mission?"

Jiang Xinghuo was a little surprised. He didn't expect that it was an interactive side story, so he immediately chose to accept it.

"You have arrived at the Wedding Hall."

"At this time, the wedding hall had already fallen into chaos. You helped the funeral director set up the mourning tent, and took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the backyard."

"You pushed the door open and walked in. It was a spacious courtyard, but it seemed very empty. There was only one lavish house and a bright red jujube tree, which exuded a faint fragrance of jujube flowers."

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You have discovered the secret of the date tree."

"The big red date tree (excellent material), a rare treasure that the Blessing Immortal obtained from Lady Xi, has the effect of nurturing and protecting life."

"In the ancient rituals and customs of life, red dates represent the beautiful blessing of having many children and having a son soon."

"The jujube trees cultivated by Xi Niangzi have turned this blessing into reality. As long as you eat a few red dates every day, you can get pregnant in just half a month."

"Looking around and seeing that there was no one around, you took out a weed hoe from your magic bag and started digging along the roots of the red date tree. You transplanted the red date tree into your magic bag."

"The red date tree is rooted in the loam, and its branches and leaves are swaying slightly, as if expressing its joy to you again." "This red date tree originally grew on the loam, and was later planted in ordinary soil by the Blessing Immortal. Without the nourishment of spiritual energy, the red date tree has become decadent, and the fruits it grows are sour and astringent."

"Now, you have buried it in the fertile soil, and the red date tree has regained its vitality."

This piece of Xiran soil was originally obtained by Jiang Xinghuo in Dongyue Temple. Only a ginseng fruit tree, a ginseng and a Ganoderma lucidum were planted on it.

Large tracts of unused soil will simply go to waste.

It's not like he hasn't tried real plants before, but without exception, none of them could survive.

This piece of fertile soil seems to be able to grow only creatures from the folk world.

"You walked into the room again. The furnishings and ornaments in the room were all antiques. You explored the room carefully and gained something."

"You found a box of red rouge, a mandarin duck handkerchief, a token for the blessed, a paper wedding dress, a painted skin of an unknown creature, a Maoshan jade pendant, a white bamboo bird cage, a small celadon fish tank, two fragments of the Jade Girl's Joyful Magic, and a book of Lady Hong's notes."

"Red rouge (common item), rouge made from top-grade cochineal insects, as bright red as peach blossoms, can greatly enhance a woman's charm."

"Yuanyang Handkerchief (excellent material), the fallen red mandarin duck handkerchief left by Lady Hong, which has the essence of ghosts and gods. It can be used as a material for refining special elixirs, or as a prop material for exorcising evil spirits."

"Blessed Person Token (Ordinary Item), a gift from the Blessed Immortal to Hong Niangzi. It can control the souls of twenty blessed persons and turn them into one's own personal belongings."

"Paper Wedding Dress (Excellent Item), a specially tanned paper wedding dress that can not only resist the invasion of water and fire, but also resist attacks from sharp weapons. It also has a certain resistance to evil spirits."

"Maoshan Jade Pendant (Excellent Item), a protective magic tool for Maoshan's disciples. After being blessed by the Taoist priests of Maoshan, the jade pendant was not taken back after Hongniangzi was expelled from Maoshan. Instead, it was left to her as a self-defense item."

"A painted skin of an unknown creature (a rare item). When Hong Niangzi was practicing the Jade Girl Joy Magic, she went to the netherworld several times. This painted skin is what she got in the netherworld."

"Red Lady has tried more than once to sew this painted skin onto herself, but unfortunately, it is destined to be unable to bear such an opportunity..."

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You find that this painted skin looks very familiar. The material is very similar to the Talisman for Eliminating the Filth of Cause and Effect."

"You tried it and it seems that you can integrate it into the magic talisman for eliminating causal filth. Do you want to use it immediately?"

"You used the painted skin of an unknown creature."

"Your talisman for eliminating the evil traces of karma has been upgraded."

"You have obtained the Talisman that can eliminate the evil traces of karma."

"The Divine Talisman for Eliminating the Traces of Karma (a legendary item) is a talisman that can eliminate all traces of karma on one's body. No deduction technique or item in the secular world can deduce your identity. However, this power comes from the material of the talisman paper, not the runes drawn on it."

Jiang Xinghuo was both surprised and delighted. He did not expect that the origin of this painted skin was actually related to the talisman that could eliminate evil traces of cause and effect.

He also flipped through the text records again. When he first got this talisman, it only made it immune to the calculations of magic. Now that it has been integrated with the painted skin, its function has also been upgraded.

Not only is he immune to magical calculations, but he is also immune to the effects of various deductive props, which greatly improves his safety.

In the end, only the bird cage and fish tank were left, as well as the fragments of the Jade Girl's Happiness Spell and the note left by Matchmaker.
