My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 198 City God’s Temple

Jiang Xinghuo was wondering what this meant. It couldn't be like gambling on stones and getting a piece of junk, right?

An empty coffin?
If this is true, then both the corpse-sewer and the tomb-robber's deaths are not worth it.

It's really ironic that so many lives were lost for an empty coffin.

Just when Jiang Xinghuo was puzzled, the game text changed again.

"You fumbled around in the coffin for a long time but didn't find anything. But just when you were about to give up, a cold, stiff dead hand suddenly grabbed your wrist!"

"This dead hand forcibly stuffed something into your palm, and then disappeared in an instant."

"You have obtained the Heart Hunting Mirror."

"Heart-hunting mirror (rare item), a bronze mirror of simple shape and style. As long as you point it at someone, you can randomly copy one of their abilities and use it for yourself without any unfamiliarity. Duration: 7 days."

After reading the introduction of this Heart-Hunting Mirror, Jiang Xinghuo was quite surprised. It could actually copy other people's abilities for his own use. This function was a bit too scary.

Although there is a time limit and it can only last for seven days, it is enough if used effectively.

At this moment, a light flashed on the mobile phone screen, and a new game text popped up.

"You have triggered the talent of Tathagatagarbha."

"You have discovered the secret hidden in this coffin. Unlike other coffins, this iron coffin can be repeatedly touched for treasures, but there needs to be a seven-day interval between each touch."

"If you open the coffin and search for treasures again within seven days, the coffin will automatically disappear, waiting for the next destined person to come."

Seeing this game text, Jiang Xinghuo was stunned for a moment, then he realized, isn’t this a treasure box that can be opened for a limited time?
It opens every seven days, and what kind of treasures you can get depends entirely on your luck.

After counting these things, Jiang Xinghuo waited for a while, and the substitute paper man he had sent out also came back.

"You control the substitute paper figure to follow Huang Xiaotian, trying to find out where the other yellow-skinned people are staying in the underworld dragon city."

"But Huang Xiaotian was very alert and seemed to have thought that you might be following him, so he took a lot of complicated alleys and paths before finally arriving at the City God Temple in Longcheng."

"The substitute paper figure didn't follow in, fearing that it would alert the snakes and let them run away. Do you want to rush over immediately and catch them all in one fell swoop?"

"Would you like to go now? Or wait until dark?"

"But there is one thing you may not know. The sky in the underworld is always gray, unlike the clear black and white in the world of the living. So to some extent, in the underworld, there is no particular difference between dark and daytime."

When Jiang Xinghuo saw this text, he thought that since there was no difference, there was no need to wait until dark, he could just go over and kill all those yellow-skinned beasts.

"You chose to go to the City God Temple immediately."

"The City God Temple, this building has long been abandoned in the Dragon City on earth, and even the temple has been demolished by those great princes and clans."

"However, the Dragon City in the underworld has not been affected at all. Instead, the incense is still relatively strong."

"The temple keeper of the City God Temple is also a disciple of the Huang family. He is of a high generation and is considered the head of all the Huang family disciples in Longcheng."

"On weekdays, it hides in the City God Temple and doesn't care about what's happening outside. If a young person dies and comes here, it will lead him here and make him do odd jobs and sweep the floor in the temple."

"Of course, these yellow-skinned beasts are wild and difficult to tame. They often sneak out to steal people's souls and rob people of their offerings." "The old yellow-skinned beasts know the character of the younger generations, so they just turn a blind eye, give them a little scolding, and then stop interfering."

"You have arrived at the City God Temple."

"There are still many pilgrims kneeling outside the temple to worship. Are you going to wait until they leave before going in, or use the invisibility spell to go in now?"

"You chose to use the invisibility method and quietly sneaked into the City God Temple. You came to the main hall of the City God Temple and saw that the altar was filled with various offerings."

"You see an old yellow-skinned man in a monk's robe, sitting there sanctimoniously enjoying a meal while drinking from a jar of wine."

"There are many little yellow-skinned people around, including Huang Xiaotian."

"You took out the thunder chisel from your magic bag and wanted to kill these evil beasts in the temple, but you were worried that some would slip through the net, so you came up with another idea."

"You didn't alarm the yellow-skinned people in the temple, and returned to the outside of the City God Temple. You wandered around the City God Temple."

"You walked around for more than half an hour, and saw a figure walking in the distance, with a shoulder pole across his shoulders, and two large black porcelain jars on each end of the pole."

"It is the wine shop clerk who comes to deliver wine to the City God Temple. He comes to deliver wine to the City God Temple every day, and he delivers more than ten jars at a time. He has to run many times."

coming!

When Jiang Xinghuo saw this line of game text, his eyes suddenly lit up. He had been wandering outside the City God Temple for such a long time, waiting for this liquor store clerk.

When he was in the world of the living, he mixed puffer fish toxin into wine, sent away the corpse-retrievers, and fulfilled the last wish of the Baishui River God.

He is now going to use the same old trick again and add something else to the wine to poison those evil beasts.

However, since they have died once, the medicines that are effective on living people may not be effective on them, so we have to add some other tricks.

Jiang Xinghuo first went to Fuchun Teahouse and walked around the niches in the underworld, where he actually found a few things.

"Yinhe Ghost Fish Toxin (Ordinary Material). Yinhe Ghost Fish, which is unique to the rivers of the underworld, is eroded by the ghost energy of the underworld for many years, so it carries a terrifying poison that can not only corrode the flesh, but also the soul, and can even make the poisoned person's soul fly away."

"Price: 1000 incense sticks."

too dark!
After seeing the selling price, Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but complain in his heart that things in the underworld are much more expensive than things in the world of the living.

It is incredible that an ordinary material can be sold at a high price of 1000 incense sticks.

However, Jiang Xinghuo finally spent a large sum of money to get the Yinhe ghost fish toxin.

"You have obtained the Yinhe ghost fish toxin."

"You returned to the outside of the City God Temple and continued to wander around outside the temple. The man came out of the temple carrying a shoulder pole."

"The liquor store is only a few hundred meters away from the City God Temple. There is no need for a wooden cart to transport the goods. All the waiter needs to do is run a few times."

"You continue to wander outside the City God Temple and wait for the wine shop clerk to come again. That will be your best chance."
