My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 175: Encountering the Dead Again

"You explored the house carefully, and your Tathagatagarbha suddenly came into play, and you discovered something unusual under the dead tree."

"You walk up to that dead tree."

"You awakened the wood god in your body, and the dead tree regained some vitality."

"Vines broke through the ground, wrapped around a large mahogany box, and brought it to you."

"You found the dusty mahogany treasure chest."

"You see there is a talisman seal on this box. This is the wooden box that Li Si dug up at Fentouling."

"After the accident, it didn't dare to touch the things in the box anymore, so it went to Maoshan to get some talismans, sealed the box and buried it under a big tree."

"Do you want to open the box and check it?"

"You opened this wooden box. In addition to the remaining dead people's property, there are also some interesting little things in the box."

"Count them one by one. A complete piece of Tai Sui skin, a piece of canvas fragment of unknown origin, a worn-out salt and vegetable jar, a piece of top-grade diamond, a secret method of taking medicine, and a box of green and white milk skin five-kernel cakes."

"Taisui skin (excellent material). When Taisui was young, he traveled around the world and accidentally entered the Twelve Caves of Miao Territory. The chief priest peeled off his skin. Later, Taisui destroyed the Twelve Caves of Miao Territory and burned the Miao Mountains for seven days and seven nights. This skin was also lost in the fire."

"Your Tai Sui Magic Bag can use the Tai Sui God's skin to perform another fusion upgrade. Do you want to upgrade?"

"The Trick Bag was successfully integrated and upgraded."

"Taisui Magic Bag (Legendary Prop), a magic bag that combines two Taisui skins. The storage space is greatly increased. Not only is the interior a self-contained space, but it can also isolate all detection methods. As long as the owner is not dead, no means can destroy or open the magic bag."

After seeing the description in the game text, Jiang Xinghuo nodded with satisfaction and took the magic bag into reality. The appearance did not seem to have changed much.

But as his mind turned, the magic bag suddenly began to move and turned into a big pocket. When he looked inside, he found that the storage space had indeed increased a lot.

"Canvas fragment (excellent material), a piece of canvas of unknown origin, containing mysterious power, which can exorcise evil spirits and protect oneself. It seems to be a corner torn from a complete painting."

"You have found the fragments of the 360,000 Heavenly Soldiers Demon Suppression Map. Do you want to merge them immediately?"

"The fusion of fragments is complete."

"47 Heavenly Soldiers Demon Suppression Map, completeness: %."

Jiang Xinghuo was a little surprised. He didn't expect to get a fragment of the Heavenly Soldier Map in Xishen City. It was a pleasant surprise.

Could it be that the law of fortune had taken effect? ​​Did it significantly improve my luck?
Jiang Xinghuo thought about these things in his mind and looked at other things.

"A worn-out salt and vegetable jar (high-quality material). During the feudal dynasty, cities and counties inside and outside the Great Wall had to pay tribute to the secular lord with the finest treasures, including sturgeons from outside the Great Wall."

"Sturgeon is the favorite food of the Lord of the Secular World. It grows in the thousands of miles of cold rivers outside the Great Wall. It tastes sweet and rich. Eating it can enhance magic power and prolong life."

"Now, there is a piece of sturgeon pickled in this salted vegetable jar. Although it has lost its life-extending effect due to its age, it can improve your cultivation and magic power by ten years."

"Would you like to take the pickled sturgeon meat?"

"You have taken the pickled sturgeon meat."

Jiang Xinghuo directly chose to use this item. After a while after the game text appeared, a heat current rose in his body and quickly extended to his limbs and bones.

If the magic power in his body was a pond before, it has now become a lake. The magic power has indeed increased a lot.

If he were to use the Five Thunder Technique with all his strength now, it would probably directly cause changes in the celestial phenomena.

Jiang Xinghuo felt the changes in his body and looked at the last few items left. "Green and white milk skin five kernels steamed bun (common consumable item). After death, you can quickly restore your physical strength and shorten the physical penalty time. Note: Only for game use."

"Diamond (common material), a specialty stone from the Northwest Mining City. It is extremely hard and cannot be broken by a knife or an axe. It can only be softened and melted by slowly soaking it in a special potion."

"Taking the secret method (excellent technique), the secret technique passed down by the old Heavenly Master, can devour all things in the world and melt them into the body, thereby gaining the power of the corresponding substance."

"Do you want to learn this secret method?"

Jiang Xinghuo didn't think too much about it. It is always better to learn one more skill than one less, because who knows when it will come in handy.

"You have learned the secret method of taking medicine."

"Do you want to swallow the diamond?"

"You have taken it, Diamond."

"You performed the secret method of taking medicine. You absorbed the properties of diamond. Your flesh and blood body became invulnerable to swords and guns, like a diamond."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at his skin, and with a thought, his magic power flowed through it, directly giving it an indestructible property.

Jiang Xinghuo picked up the fruit knife next to him and cut his arm hard, but there was no damage to the skin at all, not even a white mark.

"My dear..."

Jiang Xinghuo was a little surprised that he had acquired the properties of diamond after swallowing it.

So if you swallow some chemical materials, such as radium or uranium, wouldn't you be a walking source of radiation?

Fortunately, this ability can be controlled at will.

You can use your magic power when you need it, and you can retract this feature when you don't need it.

At this time, the text on the screen also changed.

"You have obtained all the dead people's wealth."

"You have been cursed by the forbidden fairy."

"There are many rules in the underworld. If you cross the line, you will be punished. You have accepted the money of the dead, so you must bear the corresponding consequences. Every night at midnight, you will be hanged on the beam and die suddenly."

Seeing the game text on the screen, Jiang Xinghuo didn't care much in his heart. It was not the first time he was cursed. Let's not talk about whether this curse would work on him.

Even if he really died suddenly in the middle of the night every day, he didn't take it to heart at all. The worst that could happen was that he would go back to Beiping City and ask the chief priest of the Imperial College for help.

Count all your belongings.

Jiang Xinghuo walked around the house a few more times, and only after making sure that nothing was missed did he leave this haunted house with six hangings.

As for whether more people would die in the future, Jiang Xinghuo was not sure, because he didn't know the reason why those people were hanged, whether it was because they attracted evil spirits or ghosts, or was it related to the curse of the dead's wealth.

But Jiang Xinghuo guessed in his heart that it was most likely the latter, just like the dead money in Longcheng.

Not only will the culprit who looted the treasure die, but all the surrounding neighbors will also die.

In comparison, the curse of Xishen City is limited to the house, which is already very polite.
