My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 20 Yellow Springs Map
Seeing the red rash on his body gradually fading away, Jiang Xinghuo breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Yellow Immortal Evil Sore was nothing special and was directly cleared away by his Immunity to All Poisons.

But it is also possible that after the evil sore came into reality, its power was reduced and diluted a lot, so it is better to be careful.

However, Jiang Xinghuo also understood that the death of the Baishui River God was closely related to the Yellow-skinned Fairy. It must be that the Fairy controlled the descendants and believers of the River God and was looking for an opportunity to kill the Baishui River God and replace him with itself.

As for the reason why it did this, it is easy to understand that it was to compete for the incense and power of Dragon City.

In order to monopolize the incense of Longcheng, Wong Tai Sin first drove the Baojing Temple out of Longcheng, and then killed the Baishui River God. In this way, Longcheng would respect it as the most respected one and could enjoy the incense of the entire city alone. It was indeed a good plan.

"You have figured out Wong Tai Sin's conspiracy. What choice will you make next?"

"Are you planning to pretend you don't know and allow Wong Tai Sin to plunder Dragon City's incense offerings, allowing the Five Immortals outside the pass to gain another city?"

"It is better to make everything public and let the people of Longcheng denounce Huang Daxian and destroy all his plans. However, because of your status as an exile, your words may not be trusted."

"Of course, you have a third choice, which is to smash the golden statue of the yellow-skinned fairy yourself. If you can do this, then all the incense it has plundered for decades will belong to you, and you only need to deal with the wrath of the yellow-skinned fairy."

Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a long time and decided that the first two options could be directly rejected as neither was the best choice.

Only the last one can not only destroy the conspiracy of the Yellow Skin Fairy, but also gain benefits for himself. However, he is not strong enough now. If he goes directly to the Yellow Skin Fairy Temple, let alone whether he can destroy the temple, there are so many believers outside the temple that he may not be able to get through.

As for whether destroying the temple would bring revenge from Huang Xian, he didn't really care.

Two small five-thunder talismans.

The power of Vajra.

It is also immune to all poisons.

With these things protecting him, he really wasn't afraid of the Yellow-skinned Fairy causing trouble.

"You activated the ability of the scapegoat."

"You have escaped again."

"Number of deaths today (0/3)."

"The corpse fishers have left. They dumped your body into the river and left to find a place to drink. They didn't even notice that you had escaped and resurrected yourself with a scarecrow."

"Take out the corpse-fishing net you bought from the river shrine shop, put the head of the corpse-sewer into the net, and throw it into the depths of the Baishui River."

"Still waiting..."

"You felt the net tremble, and you pulled it up. In the mouth of the corpse-stitcher was a pale severed hand."

"You have obtained the severed hand of the Corpse Stitcher."

"You can now take the severed hand and head back to the charity cemetery to find the corpse stitcher. Of course, you can also go somewhere else and sell the severed hand and head for a good price."

"But unfortunately, you are a person of high moral character. You made a fortune by mistake, but at the same time you also gained the trust of the corpse stitcher."

"You returned to the charity cemetery."

"The corpse-stitcher took the head and severed hand from your hands and used the corpse-stitching needle to reattach them to his body. He was very grateful for your behavior and gave you his own corpse-stitching needle, as well as a scroll of corpse-stitching atlas."

"You have obtained the corpse sewing needle."

"You have obtained the corpse sewing atlas."

"Corpse Needle (Excellent Consumable Item), the golden needle used by the Corpse Sewer to sew up corpses. You can only use it once. After use, the golden needle will automatically disappear and return to the Corpse Sewer."

"Corpse Sewing Manual (rare consumable item), a book written by the Corpse Sewing Master himself, which records his experience in sewing corpses over the past decades. It can handle all kinds of wounds with ease, and may be of some help to you. This is also a reward from the Corpse Sewing Master." "Do you want to learn the Corpse Sewing Manual?"

Any unexpected gains?

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without much thought.

A roll of mysterious human skin suddenly appeared before his eyes and slowly unfolded like a scroll. It was covered with all kinds of bizarre wounds. Every time Jiang Xinghuo's eyes swept across a wound, related memories flooded into his mind.

It was as if it had been tempered a thousand times, firmly imprinted deep in his mind and could not be forgotten. Finally, the human skin scroll turned into ashes and merged into Jiang Xinghuo's hands.

"It's a pity that I'm not a doctor..."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at his hands, feeling a little regretful. If this ability was given to a surgeon, perhaps another great surgical expert would be born.

"Do you want to send the corpse sewing needle to the Baojing Temple?"

At this time, new text popped up in the game.

"You returned to the Hokyoji Temple."

"The candle-burning monk was waiting for you outside the temple. When he saw you retrieve the corpse-sewing needle, he was overjoyed and quickly brought you into the temple."

"You handed the corpse sewing needle to the head monk."

"The head monk used the corpse-sewing needle you gave him to remove the evil sore, and the wound on his body began to heal. He is very grateful for your help. Unfortunately, the incense in the temple is fading now, and he has nothing good to give you. The only thing he can give you is a portrait of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva as a token of his gratitude."

"You have obtained the portrait of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."

"Tathagata's talent is triggered."

"You have discovered the secret hidden under the portrait of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."

"You have obtained the Yellow Springs Map."

"Yellow Spring Map (Excellent Item), the nine rivers of the netherworld, the Yellow Spring never ceases. Without a map to guide you, even the living beings in the underworld will get lost in the Yellow Spring. The founder of Baojing Temple once entered the Yellow Spring by mistake, and by chance he got this map, and hid it in the portrait of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, leaving it for the destined person."

Seeing the text description, Jiang Xinghuo was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this was a map of the underworld.

According to the setting and background of this game, he never thought that the kingdom of the dead would be an ordinary cutscene, but it was just that the corresponding plot could not be triggered temporarily.

Now that I have this map, next time I go to the underworld, I may be able to trigger the corresponding plot.

"You left the Hokyoji Temple."

"You're back in Dragon City."

"Where are you planning to go next?"

"Martial Arts Hall Street, Fuchun Teahouse, Dragon City Museum, Police Station, Wedding Wine Shop..."

The game text again gives a bunch of options.

However, Jiang Xinghuo has already explored some places, and they are not of particular value.

Jiang Xinghuo decided to go to Fuchun Teahouse to take a look. If it was really a gathering hall for game players, then he should be able to meet other players and perhaps learn something that he didn't know.

From the time he entered the game until now, he has been groping his way forward and has not communicated with anyone. But if there is a gathering hall, it will be different. Not only can he trade freely, but he can also get other information.
