My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 204 The Prince's Will

Seeing the game text pop up on the screen, Jiang Xinghuo hesitated for a moment. Logically speaking, Taoist Tiancan was also a fierce ghost with a cultivation of more than a hundred years, so he should put it into He Tongzi's gourd.

However, Taoist Tiancan did not attack him, and he also upgraded his Evil Star Bite and Qiankun Stick. If he were to attack him secretly and put them into the gourd, it would be a bit inhumane.

After much deliberation, Jiang Xinghuo decided to let Taoist Tiancan go for the time being, and he also had other plans in mind.

Taoist Tiancan is different from other Taoist Shengongs. In addition to the forging skills of the Shengong clan, he also understands the strange craftsmanship of the underworld.

If he has the chance in the future, he would like to come here to find it and ask it to upgrade his equipment.

After all, Taoist Tiancan will not charge any fees when upgrading equipment, and may even add materials himself.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo no longer hesitated and controlled the game character to leave the repair room directly.

"Where are you going to explore next?"

"Would you like to explore the back garden? Or would you like to go to the curator's office on the seventh floor?"

"You chose to explore the seventh floor."

"The seventh floor is where the curator's office of the Underworld Dragon City Museum is located. In the entire Underworld Dragon City, no one knows the curator's true identity."

"All we know is that he is a terrifying being who once suppressed many bizarre and strange collections in the museum with his own strength."

"But since the dawn of the living world, the curator of the Dragon City Museum has disappeared into the underworld. No one knows what state it is in now."

"Over time, rumors began to spread in Longcheng that the true identity of the museum owner was actually a royal relative from the mortal world, who died in battle on the night of dawn and thus disappeared from the underworld."

"There is no smoke without fire. Perhaps the mysterious owner of the museum really has a close connection with the world of the living."

"However, you still need to explore and find the truth of the matter yourself. The rumors outside are half true and half false. You can't help but believe them, but you can't believe them completely either."

"Do you want to go into the office and explore?"

"You entered the director's office. The large office seemed very empty. Apart from a desk, there were only a few bookshelves against the wall. Apart from that, there was nothing else to see."

Seeing this game text, Jiang Xinghuo frowned slightly.

what's the situation?
The gourd of He Tongzi clearly sensed that there was an evil ghost here, so how come there was nothing in it?
Did the other party leave?
Jiang Xinghuo was surprised, but due to the limitation of the text perspective, he could not conduct a detailed investigation and could only passively follow the text.

"You walked to the bookshelves against the wall and carefully looked at the books on them. A bamboo slip woven with hemp rope caught your attention."

"You open the bamboo slips and find a lot of text densely written on them, but these texts are different from any text you know."

"You have triggered Duan Yan's innate skill."

"Inkstone (common item), Fengwei Inkstone provides endless storage, the highest on the Longfei list, can write down a wealth of knowledge, can distinguish the words of the world, innate ability: the ability to read and write languages ​​of multiple races without a teacher."

"The strange characters on the bamboo slips began to wriggle, and finally gathered together. The ancient characters on them were recompiled and translated into characters you can recognize."

"You have obtained the prince's suicide note."

"This is a handwritten suicide note left by the younger brother of the Lord of the Secular World. It uses a secret script that is circulated within the royal family. Only a few people in the royal family know its meaning."

"You have read this suicide note and learned the contents recorded above. The prince was the most trusted brother of the Lord of the Secular World, and also the most capable general of the Lord of the Secular World."

"Since the Lord of the Secular World ascended the throne, the entire secular world has been under His control, with the exception of the underworld." "The Lord of the Secular World has the supreme golden law, so how could he tolerate such a thing? So he launched a conquest of the underworld."

"However, the waters of the underworld are too deep, and countless terrifying beings are sleeping there. The army under the command of the Lord of the Secular World cannot completely conquer the underworld."

"The Lord of the Secular World had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and leave his brother in the underworld."

"That prince hid his identity and used a secret method to disguise himself as a creature from the underworld, just to wait for the right opportunity to cooperate with the Lord of the Secular World and seize the opportunity to seize the entire underworld."

“But until the night of dawn, no suitable opportunity was found. Instead, the Lord of the Secular World was besieged by thirteen Dao Masters.”

"After the prince learned about this, he immediately returned to the mortal world to help, but he was still a step too late. The Lord of the Secular World fell in the Forbidden City. He was also besieged by thirteen Dao masters and died in the Forbidden City together with the Lord of the Secular World."

Jiang Xinghuo was quite surprised. He didn't expect that the owner of the museum in the Netherworld Dragon City was actually a royal relative.

But since the prince is dead, who is the century-old evil ghost hiding in the office?

It can't be the ghost of that prince, right?

He didn't believe that those Taoist masters would be so kind as to let the prince go, and would only beat him to death.

At this time, the game text changed again.

"You read the suicide note left by the prince and learned about the past, but at this time, you found a nameplate in the corner next to it."

"This type of nameplate is not unfamiliar to you. All the collections in the museum use this type of nameplate to record information."

"Go over and pick up the nameplate. There are a few words clearly engraved on it..."

"Collection No. 000, the gluttonous ghost."

"Taotie ghosts are a kind of strange creatures in the underworld legend. They have the ability to devour everything. Their number is extremely small."

"It is said that his body is a world of its own, and it blends perfectly with the surrounding environment, without any flaws to be found."

"But few people have discovered this creature. Some even suspect that it is just a story or legend circulating in the underworld. There is no such thing at all. It is just a lie."

Devour everything?

A world of its own within the body?
Can it blend perfectly with the surrounding environment?

Seeing the relevant text information description, Jiang Xinghuo was stunned and a terrible thought arose in his mind.

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"The little pupil slowly emerged, flashing a deep light, passing through the corners of the office."

"You found the trace of the gluttonous ghost."

"Take out the axe of the Lord of the Underworld, open your pupils, and start hunting down the Taotie ghost."

"The Taotie ghost itself does not have a particularly strong killing power. Only after trapping the enemy in its body can it use the biological toxins contained in itself to corrode the enemy."

"You were attacked by biological toxins."
