My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 179 Dragon Palace (4k)

Jiang Xinghuo used the Five Ghosts Moving Technique to move all the things on the corpse driver into his magic bag.

Afterwards, he controlled the game character to walk into the hall and explored the hall. Naturally, he also took away all the things left by the sky burial master.

However, the props and magical instruments left behind by the sky burial masters were mostly forged using living human bodies as raw materials.

Jiang Xinghuo was not very interested in this. He just took a quick look at the text description and after confirming that it had no value, he threw it all into the niche.

Moreover, Buddhist instruments in the secular world are different from other props.

If there are no corresponding methods or secret techniques, even if you have those magical instruments, you will not be able to use them and it will be difficult to exert their due power.

Instead, the few things left behind by the corpse driver gave Jiang Xinghuo some unexpected surprises.

"You opened the corpse chaser's storage bag."

"You found a soul-calling bell, a box of corpse-controlling needles, an echoing insect, a book called 'The Secret Method of Corpse Refining', a bottle of Hundred Herb Pills, a tomb of the God of Joy, a whip to beat the gods, and two iron coffins to suppress evil."

"The Soul-Guiding Bell (common item), a magical instrument passed down from generation to generation by corpse-driving people in Xiangxi. As long as you ring the bell in your hand and use the corpse-driving technique, you can control the movements of the corpse at will."

"Corpse Control Needle (Ordinary Item), a tool made from polished dead human bones, specially used for corpses with too much resentment. As long as the needle is inserted into the Niwan Palace of the corpse, the soul-guiding bell can be used to control the corpse to go on the road."

"The sound-echoing insect (excellent item), a kind of poisonous insect unique to Xiangxi. After being trained by secret methods, it can attach itself to the internal organs of a corpse and manipulate the corpse to move according to the sound of a bell."

"The secret method of refining corpses (excellent skill), the secret of the corpse-driving lineage, can refine ordinary corpses into zombies, but it takes a long time and cannot be accomplished overnight."

"Herb Pill (common consumable item), a special pill made by Miao doctors. It has the effect of delaying the decay of corpses, so that the corpses will not rot while traveling."

"The Xishen Yinzhai (rare item), a mourning hall Yinzhai that a corpse driver accidentally found, is a natural place for corpses to be kept. Burying a corpse in the Yinzhai can greatly shorten the time it takes for the corpse to be kept. It is a treasure that corpse drivers have always dreamed of."

"It was with the help of this tomb that the corpse driver was able to train two iron corpses that were invulnerable to swords and guns, water and fire."

"The Divine Whip (excellent item), a magical tool unique to the corpse-driving lineage, forged from iron mixed with meteorite iron fragments, with a corpse-suppressing spell engraved on it, specifically targeting evil creatures that have revived corpses, and can disperse the remaining evil spirits in corpses."

"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."

"This is a coffin that the corpse driver specially asked a master to forge. The two iron corpses are suppressed in the coffin."

"Now, these two iron corpses are in your hands. You can use the corpse-driving technique to command them at any time."

"But you must remember one thing. The Iron Corpse is brutal and bloodthirsty by nature. If it is not fed with blood, it will turn against its master and cause a backlash."

After counting the harvest in the storage bag, the most valuable things should be the two iron corpses.

Not only is he invulnerable to swords and guns, and immune to water and fire, he also knows how to evade the earth.

As for the use of blood for sacrifice, Jiang Xinghuo didn't take it too seriously. After all, the game text didn't say that fresh human blood must be used.

To take a step back, even if we really have to use fresh human blood for foster care, the worst that can happen is to use the blood of the enemy.

"Where are you going to go next? Are you going to go to the Dragon God Water Palace to find out what's going on? Or are you going to light up the shrine and return to the God of Joy City?"

"You choose to go to the Dragon God Water Palace."

"You left the Buddhist temple, and the melodious music of the Xun echoed in the mountains and forests. The grass, trees and thorns could not stop you at all."

"Soon, you'll be back in Longhe Village."

"You found the Sky Burial Master hiding in the dark and trying to attack you, so you took out the Qiankun Stick and started fighting with it."

"After a hard fight, you finally killed this sky burial master. Its corpse turned into black sand and dissipated in the wind. You gained incense +2000."

Seeing the kill information pop up in the game text, Jiang Xinghuo thought to himself that he had gotten a good deal. If he had not had a fierce battle with the corpse driver before and lost all his magic weapons in the Buddhist temple, he might not be its opponent.

"You carefully explored Longhe Village again, and after making sure there was nothing missing, you found the map of the Dragon God Water Palace's estuary."

"You have come to the estuary of the Dragon God Water Palace."

"This estuary was specially opened by the old Dragon King. It doesn't take too much time to reach the outside of the Dragon God Water Palace, making it convenient for my daughter to come back to visit at any time."

"You took out the Suicune cloak."

"Suicune's Cape (rare item), the ancient Suicune's cloak, which is said to be made from the remains of a sea siren, contains a faint power of disaster. It is a natural favorite of water, not only can it conceal its own breath, but it can also blend with water to create the illusion of temporary invisibility."

"You put on the Suicune cloak, leaped into the turbulent river."

"You swim upstream along the water eye, like a flying fish, at an incredibly fast speed, and soon you reach the depths of the Yangtze River."

"An ancient and majestic palace appears before your eyes, covered with emerald green water plants, and dozens of armored water ghost soldiers are guarding the palace."

"You discovered the old residence of the Yangtze River Dragon God."

"Those water ghost soldiers are the guards of the Dragon God Water Palace. As long as anyone dares to approach the Dragon God Water Palace, they will kill them without hesitation."

"Do you want to go forward and attack them?"

"You chose to step forward and attack."

"Those water ghost soldiers didn't notice you approaching quietly. You used the Water Lord's cloak and the evil star's bite to perform the Crimson Palace Thunder Method and successfully killed all the water ghost soldiers."

"You have obtained, Incense +1000."

"You arrived at the gate of the Dragon God's Water Palace. Your Tathagata Garbha came into play and found the mechanism of the Dragon Palace gate."

"Do you want to go in and explore?"

"You pushed the door open and walked into the abandoned Dragon Palace. After some exploration, you gained something."

"You found the remains of Bao Jiang Tong."

"The remains of Bao Jiang Tong (excellent material), a demon under the command of the Yellow River King, who had the ability to swallow the river and drink the sea. He and Xun He'er were ordered to defeat the Yangtze River Dragon God, but for some reason they died in the Dragon Palace."

"Note: Although Baojiang Tong has been dead for many years, the spirit in his body has not dissipated, and his remains still have certain use value."

"You can choose to sell the remains to an alchemist or a corpse driver, or you can sell them to those doctors or coroners."

"You continue to explore in the Dragon Palace."

"You found a large number of dragon scale fragments."

"Dragon scale fragments (excellent material). When the old dragon king was named the Dragon God of the Yangtze River, he was blessed by the Golden Law. With the help of the power of the Golden Law, he transformed himself into a Taoist warrior and achieved seven secular bodies, suppressing the many water veins of the Yangtze River."

"These broken dragon scale fragments are the remains left behind when the old dragon king disintegrated. They can be used as raw materials for forging defensive items, and can also be used as materials for upgrading the grade of items."

Jiang Xinghuo put the dragon scale fragments into his magic bag and collected the body of the boy holding Jiang.

According to the description in the game text, Baojiangtong did not come alone, but came with Xunheer.

He has now found the body of Baojiang Tong, and Xunhe'er's body should also be in the Dragon Palace.

"You have discovered the old Dragon King's chamber. Do you want to go in and explore it?"

"You walked into the bedroom and explored it carefully. You found the body of Xunhe'er on the couch." "The body of Xunhe'er (excellent material), a monster under the command of the Yellow River King, who had the ability to calm the sea and calm the waves. He and Baojiang Tong were ordered to attack the Yangtze River Dragon God, but were killed in the Dragon Palace."

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

"You found that Xunhe'er was burned to death. His internal organs had turned to charcoal. Even his eyes and brain seemed to be overloaded and turned into a pool of black ash."

Burned to death?

Looking at the game text on the screen, Jiang Xinghuo was extremely surprised. This was a bit too unbelievable.

A monster born in water was burned to death by flames in the Dragon Palace deep in the river!
No matter how I think about it, something seems wrong!
At this time, the game text changed again.

"You were examining Xunhe'er's body and didn't notice that the temperature in the Dragon Palace was slowly rising."

"You have triggered the primary hearth blessing."

"Primary Fire Blessing (Excellent), the blessing of the God of Fire, can protect you from being burned by flames below 300℃, and you can also use the power of flames to recover from your injuries."

This primary stove blessing was an advance reward obtained from the followers of the Lice Fairy for exploring the map of the Kwantung Army's poison gas unit.

The relevant ability has not been triggered for such a long time, but I didn't expect it to be triggered here.

"You have received the blessing of the Kitchen God."

"Your resistance to high temperatures is increased."

“When you feel that it is a little too much to bear, the Dragon Palace has already turned into a sea of ​​fire, and the huge Water Palace has already become purgatory.

"Your Hearth Blessing can no longer withstand the heat."

"You took it out, the Horned Dragon Ball."

"Horned Dragon Ball (rare material), a large snake will turn into a viper after 500 years, a water viper will turn into a dragon after 500 years, a large dragon will turn into a dragon after 1,000 years, a dragon will turn into a horned dragon after 1,000 years, and will evolve into a Yinglong after 1,000 years."

"This dragon ball is the one under the chin of the horned dragon. If you integrate it into your body, you will not only be able to breathe freely underwater and walk on water as if it were flat ground, but you will also be able to withstand temperatures below 1000℃..."

"........."

"........."

"Your horn dragon ball is ineffective."

"The temperature inside the Dragon Palace has exceeded 1000℃."

"You wanted to use the fire escape technique to quickly escape from the depths of the Dragon Palace, but you found that the Five Elements God in your body seemed to be suppressed by some force, and you couldn't use the escape technique at all."

"Your body is completely engulfed in flames."

"You are dead..."

Depend on!
Jiang Xinghuo put down his phone speechlessly and was burned to death in the water. This was a very weird way to die.

However, this also shows that the Dragon God Water Palace is not that simple and must be hiding other secrets.

It doesn’t matter if the primary Hearth Fire Blessing is useless, but if the Horned Dragon Ball can’t resist it, then things will become interesting.

But whether you can find out this secret depends on your luck.

In real life, a high temperature of 1000℃ is already terrifying. Usually, such a terrifying temperature will only occur in the center of a large-scale fire or when a wildfire suddenly explodes.

Could it be that there is a volcano beneath the Water Palace Dragon Palace?
Jiang Xinghuo looked thoughtful. He chose to use dog food and was resurrected in the temple of Longhe Village.

"You woke up next to the shrine in Longhe Village."

"Current remaining times: 4/5."

"You have come to the Dragon God Water Palace again. What are you going to do next?"

This time, Jiang Xinghuo did not rush in to explore, but first walked around the niche.

He wanted to see if there was any prop that could resist high-temperature flames. After a careful search, he actually found a related prop.

"Item: Skyfire Mine Armor."

"Sender: Taoist Fireworks Master."

"Starting price: 1000 incense sticks."

"The current highest bid: 4700 incense sticks."

"Each increase in price: not less than 200 incense sticks."

"Remaining time: 19:45..."

"Skyfire Ore Armor (Excellent Item), armor forged from Skyfire Meteorite fragments mixed with Thunder Mountain Ore. It can withstand temperatures up to 1700°C. The downside is that it requires a very high level of physical fitness from the wearer. Players with weak physical fitness simply cannot wear this armor."

"Message from the sender: No refunds after sale, please purchase with caution, payment is settled, no credit is accepted."

Jiang Xinghuo calculated in his mind that the price was not that high, perhaps because the function was somewhat useless. After all, maps with temperatures over 1700 degrees were not common in games.

Looking at the remaining time of the auction, there were less than twenty minutes left and the highest bid was constantly jumping.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the countdown on the screen, and when it came to the last minute, he directly threw out 6000 incense sticks and won the bid.

"You have obtained the Skyfire Mine Armor."

"You have entered the Dragon God Water Palace again."

"You have come to the Dragon King's chamber."

"You have triggered the innate effect of Tathagatagarbha."

"You discovered that there was something mysterious underneath the white jade bed. You took out the Qiankun Stick from your magic bag and smashed the rare white jade bed."

"A half-open stone door appears before your eyes, with burning sparks constantly emanating from it."

"Do you want to go in and find out?"

"You have entered behind the stone gate."

"You discovered an ancient underground channel deep in the earth's core. This underground channel has existed for countless years and is said to be the remains of a white dragon from ancient times."

"You walked forward along the underground channel and found that the air was getting drier and hotter, and the temperature was gradually rising. The channel under your feet was cracked like a ravine, and red magma was slowly flowing."

"At the same time, you also saw a lot of messy black footprints on the ground. You followed these footprints and walked forward, shuttling back and forth in the culvert, and finally the view in front of you suddenly became clear."

"A river of lava lies before you, and the air is filled with a pungent smell of sulfur, making it almost impossible to breathe through your mouth and nose."

"But what attracts your attention more are those scattered charred tombs and a black boulder flowing with magma..."
