My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 185 The Secret of the Yin House
"You have obtained: a peach wood puppet, a life-saving lamp, a map of the Bashu Ghost House, a soul-binding chain, a white paper boat, a broken pottery figurine, a bag of golden rice seeds, and a last handwritten letter."

"Peach Wood Puppet (Excellent Prop), a puppet carved from peach wood. It can nourish the soul and use the aura of peach wood to cleanse the yin energy in the body. It is a top-grade magic tool for ghost immortals to practice."

“Life-saving lamp (consumable item), collect the lights of thousands of houses and form a life-saving magic weapon. Light it in front of you. As long as the flames don’t go out, even if you are trapped in the underworld, you can still find the way to the world of the living.”

"Current remaining times: 3/5."

“Please note that after the flame in the lamp goes out, you can search for lights in thousands of houses to make the wick burn again.

"The map of the Bashu Ghost Town (common item). In the secular world, the Bashu land is called the Ghost Town. It is said that it belongs to the Yang world during the day, but when night falls, it borders the netherworld, and pedestrians can enter and exit the Yin and Yang world at will.

"This map is a blueprint of a ghost market in the Bashu Ghost Market."

"Soul Binding Chain (Excellent Item), a magical weapon used by the underworld ghost messenger, has a special damage bonus to ghosts and evil spirits. If it hits a living person, there is a 20% chance that the soul will be locked away."

"White paper boat (consumable item), a paper boat made of ghost paper unique to the underworld. It is considered a strange creation of the underworld and can ferry the living across the underworld."

"The body-protecting terracotta figurine (a broken defensive item). The body-protecting terracotta figurine was damaged by a heavy blow. Although it is broken, it still retains most of its fragments. You can go to the Taoist Master and ask him to integrate the fragments of the figurine into your body-protecting terracotta figurine to strengthen the defensive ability of the item."

"There is a Taoist master in the Maoshan Sect. Do you want to go and look for him right away?"

Jiang Xinghuo was quite surprised when he saw the game text pop up. He didn't expect that there was a Taoist master here, so he chose to go over and look for him.

"You found it, the Taoist master of Maoshan."

"You discovered that this Taoist master is different from the Taoist masters you have seen before. Not only did he abandon his flesh and blood body, he also transformed himself into a giant tripod with four limbs."

"You stated your purpose. The Taoist took the terracotta fragments and fused them with your protective terracotta, and made some minor changes."

"You have obtained the protective pottery figurine."

"The body-protecting pottery figurines (defense items), which have been transformed and strengthened by the Taoist Master Shengong, not only have their defense capabilities improved, but their mobility has also been enhanced."

"Your body-protecting terracotta figurine has been successfully strengthened. It has become stronger and more durable. While being hit, it can also launch some counterattacks."

The game text also ended here. There were no subsequent trigger options, so Jiang Xinghuo could only continue to look at other things.

"Golden rice seeds (excellent material), golden rice seeds grown in Kanto, can be used as materials for refining elixirs, and can also be used as talismans for Feng Shui formations."

At this point, most of the contents of the rag package have been read, leaving only the last handwritten letter.

"You have opened this last handwritten letter. This is the last letter of a Maoshan elder before his death."

"The elder said in the letter that it was originally a rich kid from Guandong City. It was only because of a misfortune when it was young that it attracted the taboo existence of the underworld. It happened that the old master of Maoshan passed through Guandong and saved its life by chance."

"However, the forbidden existence from the underworld is relentless in pursuit and is determined to take its life."

"Its parents begged the old sect master desperately, hoping that the old sect master could find a way to save their son, no matter what the cost."

"When the old sect master heard this, he sighed and said that it was not that there was no solution, but this method was too cruel. He needed to use the blood of the whole family as a guide to build a tomb, and then trap the evil ghost in the tomb, and the problem would naturally be solved."

"But if we do this, it is equivalent to exchanging more than a dozen lives for one person's life. The price we pay is too high." "But the elder's parents and family members were willing to do it. With the help of the old sect master, they found an extremely gloomy place and sacrificed their lives when the construction of the cemetery began."

"Afterwards, the evil ghost was trapped in the Yin house by the old master and could no longer come out to harm people."

"That elder also followed the old master to Maoshan to learn martial arts. Decades have passed, and he has always wanted to go back and kill that evil ghost to free his parents and family, but he is powerless."

"By the time it found a solution, it had already run out of fuel. It could only leave this last letter with reluctance and die under this willow tree."

"Now that I think about it, it must be a trace of soul that has lingered on this willow tree, awakened by the blood in your body, and guided you here."

"The Maoshan elder left the address of the tomb in the letter, which is inside the Gongyuan in Guandong City. He hopes that future generations can make up for his regrets and send the evil ghost back to the underworld, so that his parents and family can be freed from the tomb."

"Exile, now that you know the past of that grave, are you going to do something to make up for the regrets of the Maoshan elders?"

Jiang Xinghuo grinned. He never thought that the corresponding clue could be found in the tomb in the Gongyuan of Guandong City!

It's really off the mark!!

"You can go to Guandong City at any time to fulfill the last wish of the Maoshan elders."

"When you step into that haunted house, the lingering spirit of the Maoshan elder will automatically appear and tell you how to deal with the evil ghost."

"Moreover, it has stored a lot of treasures in that haunted house. If you can make up for its regret, all those things will be yours."

Jiang Xinghuo thought to himself that this was quite sinister, using rewards to whet your appetite. You wouldn't be forced to complete the task, but whether you could resist the temptation of the reward depended entirely on yourself.

After counting the harvest, Jiang Xinghuo put the things into the magic bag and was about to control the character to leave here.

Suddenly, new game text popped up.

"You have triggered the law of good fortune."

"Your fortune and luck are temporarily improved."

"You took away the rag package and found something in the middle of the tree trunk that was split by lightning."

"You have obtained the essence of wood energy."

"Wood Essence (rare material), the essence of vitality born from trees, is hard to come by and contains powerful vitality. After being integrated with oneself, it can not only greatly enhance one's own vitality, but also enhance the perception of plants and trees, and improve the cultivation of magic power."

"Do you want to merge it right away?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and put the thing away without using it directly. He is now in his prime and his physical fitness is excellent. It would be a waste to use this thing.
