My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 183 Maoshan Sect Altar
"You have come to the cemetery of Xishen City."

"You found Inspector Tiger's grave, rang the bell, and summoned Inspector Tiger's ghost."

"Through a conversation, you learned from the detective's ghost that it was indeed not a natural death, but it couldn't explain how it died."

"That day, Inspector Tiger brought a gun and went to the Maoshan Sect Altar to find Gui Yunzi, intending to bring him to justice."

"But I was stopped by the leader of Maoshan Sect. He said there was a misunderstanding and he would give the inspector an explanation after he had investigated it thoroughly."

"After hearing this, the inspector did not want to break up with the Sect Master, so he did the other party a favor and agreed to the request of the Maoshan Sect Master."

"But who would have thought that it would suddenly die inexplicably that night while it was sleeping soundly."

After reading this text description, Jiang Xinghuo thought that this detective was so naive that he arranged it with just a few words. Not only did he not catch the person, but he also lost a life in vain.

"Now that you have listened to Inspector Tiger's narration, do you want to go to the Maoshan Sect Altar right now, confront Gui Yunzi, and kill him in front of everyone, to avenge the children who lost their inspector father, and the children who died under the evil spell?"

Jiang Xinghuo nodded directly. What a joke! It was still unclear whether he could beat Gui Yunzi, not to mention that they were in the enemy's base camp. He was afraid that as soon as he started to fight, he would be skinned and his tendons would be removed, and then stuffed into the stove to be burned as firewood.

And if the other party can't afford to play, they will directly put you on the blacklist. Then, whenever you enter the Maoshan map in the future, you will be chased and killed by those Maoshan Taoists, and the loss will be too great.

The most important thing now is to enter the Maoshan Sect as soon as possible, get more benefits, and then kill Gui Yunzi when there is a chance.

"You left Xishen City."

"You headed for the Maoshan Sect again. When you passed the forest, you met a few more disciples from the Maoshan Sect."

"They come to you and ask if you have seen their fellow disciples. How are you going to answer them?"

"Are you going to tell them the truth and kill them too? Or are you just going to point them in a random direction and let them track it down?"

"You pointed in a random direction and said you saw those people chasing a child running over there."

"After they leave, you can continue on your journey towards your destination."

"But not long after, those Maoshan Taoists turned back. They thought that it was just a child and there was no need to chase him with so many people, so they simply went back to the mountain and waited."

"You set out on the journey with these Maoshan Taoists. When they learned that you were also going to Maoshan, they asked you what you wanted to do there?"

"You said you were asked by someone to send the remains back to Maoshan and to convey a few words on his behalf."

"After hearing this, these Maoshan Taoists were deeply moved and praised you for having the spirit of Mengchang. They directly used the teleportation technique to bring you to the Maoshan Sect Altar."

"You have arrived at the Maoshan Sect Altar."

"You found a ruined shrine at the foot of the mountain."

"You lit up the shrine of the Maoshan Sect."

"You have fulfilled the last wish of the Maoshan Taoist 'Yu Chenzi'."

"You found the elder of Yu Chenzi, handed over Yu Chenzi's remains to him, and told the elder of Maoshan everything about the haunted house of Liudang Changing."

"When the Maoshan elders learned about this, they felt extremely sad. If it hadn't been so careless, it wouldn't have cost his disciple his life."

"But no matter what, you sent the remains of Yu Chenzi back to Maoshan, and it is willing to give you something as a reward for your trip. How do you plan to respond to the elder's words?"

"Will you accept the gift with a clear conscience and accept the other party's kindness? Or will you politely decline the gift to express your noble character?" Jiang Xinghuo fell into deep thought with the two options. If he chose to accept, he might get some good things, but the favor of sending the corpse back to the mountain would probably be written off.

If you choose to politely reject the other party, you may get nothing, but you can gain the other party's favor. Of course, it is also possible that he is overthinking.

Ponder for a moment.

Jiang Xinghuo decided to choose the latter. The worst that could happen would be a wasted trip. He was going to Maoshan anyway, so there was no big loss.

"You declined the kindness of the Maoshan elders."

"Tell it that Yu Chenzi left all its magic tools to you, and you can no longer accept his reward."

"The elders of Maoshan highly praised your character."

"You also revealed your willingness to accept me as your disciple. Do you want to strike while the iron is hot and become my disciple?"

"Attention: If you become a disciple of this Maoshan elder, it means you have joined the Maoshan sect, and your life and death will be controlled by him."

"You have triggered the effect of the 'Divine Talisman to Remove the Traces of Cause and Effect'."

"Your fate and karma have been obscured and eliminated, and your birth date has also changed. No external force can use your birth date to curse, kill, or control you."

Seeing the new game text popping up, Jiang Xinghuo was immediately delighted. With the talisman to eliminate the evil traces of cause and effect, he no longer had to worry about other things.

Originally, he was a little hesitant.

According to the description in the game text, if one becomes a disciple of the Maoshan elders, his life and death will be controlled by them.

Although this doesn't matter in the game, what if it also affects me in real life?
Wouldn’t that mean you become someone else’s puppet!
Fortunately, this mysterious "Divine Talisman for Eliminating the Traces of Cause and Effect" prevented him from suffering any future troubles.

"You expressed your desire to become my disciple."

"The elder of Maoshan was overjoyed and accepted you immediately. However, the sect has a rule that the granting of Dharma talismans to disciples must be presided over by the sect master himself."

"But the sect master has been in seclusion for a while and will need some time to come out. You have no choice but to stay in the mountain for the time being."

"You have become a disciple of the Maoshan elder Shang Yunzi."

"Although you are temporarily unable to be promoted to the dharma talisman, Shang Yunzi cares a lot about you as his disciple and has given you a lot of things."

"You have obtained the Incense Robe."

"Incense robe (excellent item), the incense robe made by Shang Yunzi, exudes a strong scent of incense, and can deceive the perception of most evil spirits and demons."

"You have obtained the Pine-patterned Ancient Sword."

"Ancient Pine-patterned Sword (Excellent Item), a Maoshan magic sword refined by Shang Yunzi. It can be used as both a magic weapon and a weapon. It contains a trace of White Tiger's evil spirit, which increases damage to demons with physical form."

"You have obtained the Chonglong Jade Talisman."

"The Chonglong Jade Talisman (common item) can awaken the nose god 'Chonglong Jade' among the five sense gods. It is particularly sensitive to the residual breath of ghosts, immortals and gods, and nothing can escape within a hundred meters."
