My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 171 Burial Ground

"You left the coffin house with the golden nanmu coffin."

"What are you going to do next?"

"Are you planning to rush back to the wedding hall? Or are you planning to take this golden nanmu coffin for yourself?"

"This golden nanmu coffin is a rare and top-quality item in terms of both workmanship and materials. You can choose to sell it to a corpse driver, and I'm sure you'll get a lot of money."

Looking at the text message on the screen, Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a moment. He felt that this was a trap set by the game for him. If he really ran away with the coffin, the subsequent plot would be interrupted.

Besides, he has no shortage of incense points now, so there is no need for him to give up the subsequent story missions for a small sum of money.

"Exile, you suppressed the greed in your heart. I have to say that you are honest and kind in your bones."

"You chose to return to the Wedding Hall."

"But when you passed by the abandoned workshop, you met a wild gossip. It was wearing tattered clothes and looked at your tongue greedily."

"Gossips are a special race in the secular world. They like to gossip and talk about other people. The more chaotic other people's families are, the happier they are. That's why they are never liked by others."

Jiang Xinghuo recalled that when he was in Longcheng, he seemed to have met a few gossiping women who had pulled out his tongue and eaten it.

"The gossiper is slowly approaching you."

"You are under attack from a gossip."

"You choose to use..."

Listed below is a bunch of texts, all of which are the abilities that Jiang Xinghuo currently possesses, including all means of magic and martial arts.

Jiang Xinghuo took a look and did not choose the powerful Five Thunder Method. He was afraid of killing the gossipy woman in one blow and missing the related plot, so he chose the "Bone Breaking Method".

This was a skill he got from the private investigator.

"You used the Bone-Breaking San Shou on the Gossip Girl."

"You have triggered the Great View of Medical Knowledge."

"You can see every detail of the gossip woman's body structure. You can easily break all the joints of her body."

"The gossipy woman lay on the ground wailing."

"It said it knew it was wrong and begged you to spare its life. It is willing to tell you a secret, a secret about the Blessing Immortal."

"How are you going to choose?"

"Will you choose to kill it? Or will you listen to what it says? It may be of some unexpected value to you."

Jiang Xinghuo didn't think much about it and made a choice quickly.

"You spared the gossip for now."

"The gossipy woman has revealed the secret of the Blessing Immortal to you."

"That happened many years ago. The gossipy woman fled from famine to Xishen City. When she passed by this workshop, she happened to meet the young Fubao Immortal and found that it was digging a pit to bury a corpse."

"But at that time, the gossipy woman didn't know the identity of the Blessing Immortal, she just remembered its appearance."

"Later, Fu Baoxian became the big boss of Xishen City. The gossipy woman wanted to use this opportunity to blackmail Fu Baoxian and get herself a good job, but she almost died at the hands of Fu Baoxian."

"It managed to escape with its life, but it never dared to enter the city again. It could only wander along the side roads and occasionally eat meat."

"You have obtained the clue to the burial site of the abandoned workshop."

"What are you going to do with the gossip girl next? Are you going to let her go? Or are you going to send her to the underworld?"

"You took out the evil star bite."

"You killed it, gossip."

"You gain incense +100."

"You have been cursed by the ghost of the gossipy woman... If you don't keep your word and kill it, it will haunt you forever and make you die a miserable death!"

"You have been blessed with the power of no taboos." "You have removed the curse of the gossipy ghost."

"You've got it, tongue twister."

"The tongue of a sly tongue (common item), a prop dropped by a gossipy woman after her death. If you combine it with your own organs, your words will easily convince others."

"Attention: After this item merges with your organs, you will also inherit the characteristics of a gossiper. Not only will you become long-winded, but you will also become a boaster and a liar."

"Of course, because the gossips have been talking nonsense for many years, their tongues are very resilient and can be used as a good food for oral sex. You can also sell them to chefs or pharmacists. They like this kind of food very much."

As soon as Jiang Xinghuo saw this thing, he immediately lost interest in it. He directly opened the niche and hung the thing on it. Whoever wanted it could take it, but he didn't want it anyway.

"Now that you know the clues to the burial site, do you want to go over and start digging immediately? Or should you send the coffin back first?"

"You chose to go and dig."

"You came to the place the gossipy woman mentioned. Although it was already covered with weeds half a person's height, you could still see traces of burning paper money and incense."

"You have awakened the Five Elements God in your body."

"Under the control of the Earthly God, the ground began to roll and shake, like surging waves or an earth dragon turning over. The bodies buried deep underground were soon brought to the surface."

"Perhaps it's because of the heavy Yin energy that these corpses haven't decayed and are still in the state they were in before death."

"But what will shock you is that none of these bodies have heads!"

"You have obtained dozens of headless corpses."

"You have triggered the Great View of Medical Knowledge again."

"Your pupils flickered with a deep light. You found that the wounds on the necks of these corpses were very strange. You could only tell that they died by decapitation, but you couldn't tell the specific method of death."

"If you want to know more information, perhaps you can try to call back their spirits."

Seeing the prompt in the game text, Jiang Xinghuo opened the magic bag and found the soul-calling candle.

"Soul-calling candle (common consumable item). Light a candle three inches above the corpse's head to successfully call back the soul of the deceased. Use times: 3/3."

"You have used the spirit-calling wax."

"Number of uses: 2/3."

"A biting cold wind blew by, and nothing changed around me. It seems that your summoning of the spirits failed."

"You can try another corpse."

"You have used the spirit-calling wax."

"Number of uses: 1/3."

"A biting cold wind blew by, and there was still no change around. You failed again."

"You came to the third body in disbelief."

"You lit the spirit candle again."

"Number of uses: 0/3."

"Accompanied by a piercing cold wind, this time there was finally a reaction, and you saw a fierce ghost."

"You were attacked by a ghost."

Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows, opened the magic bag, and found the soul-calming candle inside.

"Soul-calming candle (common consumable item), light a candle seven inches above the corpse's head to soothe the deceased's soul and prevent it from becoming a vengeful ghost."

"Number of uses: 2/3."

"You lit the soul-calming wax. Under the effect of the soul-calming wax, the resentment of this evil spirit gradually dissipated, and its eyes regained clarity..."
