My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 206 Covering Paper

Jiang Xinghuo used the evil star to bite and kill the gardener, but unfortunately the gardener was not counted as an evil spirit.

I don’t know if it’s because he doesn’t meet the requirements of being a ghost, or because his cultivation has not reached the level of a hundred years.

But it was not without any gain. Jiang Xinghuo controlled the game character, searched the gardener's body and found some things.

"You have obtained the Manual of Plant Cultivation in the Underworld."

"Hermit World Plant Cultivation Manual (Ordinary Item), a book that records most of the methods of cultivating hermit world plants. It can greatly increase the survival rate of plants."

"You have obtained an unknown sapling."

"An unknown sapling that the gardener found on the shore of the Yellow Spring. Although it looks dead and withered, it still has a faint trace of life. However, no matter what method the gardener uses, he cannot completely revive the sapling."

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You found the seedling of the goddess tree."

"The Maiden Tree (Excellent) is a unique tree that grows in the underworld. When it grows up, it looks like a fairy and can speak, just like an ordinary person. However, its living conditions are very harsh and it must live in soil with abundant vitality."

"The underworld is originally a land of death. It is naturally difficult to find a piece of land that contains vitality."

"Moreover, even if there is such soil that contains life, it is not something that a gardener can find."

"According to historical records, the Goddess Tree grows in the underworld. Because everything will turn to its opposite when it reaches its extreme, it has the power to bring the dead back to life. As long as the branches of the Goddess Tree are refined into medicinal oil, even if one is suffering from an incurable disease, it can prolong one's life for many years."

"Many years ago, the Master of All Religions in Nanyang entered the underworld and forcibly took away a celestial maiden tree, causing it to take root and sprout in the world of the living, thus creating a legacy."

Need lively soil to survive?
After reading the description of the game text, Jiang Xinghuo thought of the Xirang soil in the magic space, which he got from Dongyue Temple. Now only a few kinds of plants were planted in it.

I believe it can also meet the condition of being full of vitality.

After all, in myths and legends, the symbolic meaning of the biological creature Xiran is endless life and the ability to continue to multiply and increase.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the relevant text, took out the things, then opened the magic bag and entered the magic space.

The sapling of the maiden tree looks inconspicuous, just like an ordinary wooden stake, the kind that no one would pick up if it was placed on the street.

But just after Jiang Xinghuo planted the saplings into the loam, the saplings that had been cracked and withered came back to life.

And a vague human outline was faintly formed.

At the same time, the Lu Cun star seed that Jiang Xinghuo stored in the cabin also automatically flew out of the house, turned into a stream of light and shadow, and sank into the sapling of the Tiannv tree.

Jiang Xinghuo was greatly surprised by this. Ever since he got the Lu Cun star seed, he had tried many methods but failed to awaken the sleeping Lu Cun star official. Unexpectedly, after planting the Tiannv Tree, there was a change.

This is also an unexpected surprise.

After dealing with the gardener in the back garden, Jiang Xinghuo controlled the character and walked around the back garden twice. After not triggering any options, Jiang Xinghuo focused his attention on the path on the right.

Now, this is the only option left. It’s not that he has to explore it, but the game text does not allow him to leave the interactive option.

Even if he wanted to leave here, he had no way and could only move forward with the game.

"You took the path on the right."

"The end of this path leads to an unknown place. Perhaps there are great opportunities hidden there, or there may be great dangers hidden there."

“You follow the path.”

"You found a cabin in the woods. The lights inside the cabin were flickering, and a figure was reflected. Do you want to go closer and take a closer look?" Jiang Xinghuo did not hesitate and directly controlled the character to come outside the cabin.

"You came to the outside of the hut and looked inside. You saw smoke everywhere and a wooden coffin in the middle. Apart from that, there was nothing else."

"Do you want to go in and explore?"

"You chose to enter the house and explore. You walked to the side of the coffin and looked at the person lying inside. You saw that the body was wearing shrouds and had a piece of paper covering its face. You couldn't see its specific appearance at all."

"There are a few burial objects next to the body. Pick them up and you'll see they're all common funerary objects."

"But just then, the covering paper caught your attention."

"The cover paper looked extremely rough and the edges were jagged, as if it had been torn from a solid sheet of paper."

"There's also a weird face painted on it, which looks like it's crying, but also like it's laughing."

"Do you want to remove this covering paper?"

Two options, peel off and leave.

These two options seemed a bit extreme. Jiang Xinghuo had to either peel off the covering paper or leave immediately.

There is no third option.

There are no other interactive options either.

Jiang Xinghuo hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to peel off the covering paper. At the same time, he was mentally prepared that he might be in trouble this time.

"You choose to peel off this covering paper."

"The rough yellow paper was pasted on the corpse's face. Just when you reached out to peel it off, you found a trace of blood suddenly seeping out from under the yellow paper!"

"The blood spread rapidly. In less than two breaths, the entire yellow paper was dyed blood red, emitting a strong smell of blood."

"You knew something was wrong and wanted to escape from this room, but you were still a step too late. The blood-stained facial tissue seemed to be blown by the wind and happened to be printed on your face."

"You feel an endless sea of ​​blood rushing towards you. The world before your eyes is all red, and the blood on the yellow paper seems to have life, pouring into your body."

"You are dead."

"Your body fell to the ground and was controlled by the masking paper to lie in the coffin."

"You died in Hades."

"It will take you eight hours to be resurrected from the underworld, and then you can continue to explore the underworld, or return to the world of the living."

This is the end of the game text.

Jiang Xinghuo tried clicking on the screen a few times, but there was no response, so he had to wait until tomorrow night to continue.

Jiang Xinghuo put down his phone, stretched his body, stretched his muscles, and looked out the window.

The heavy rain outside has stopped, the sun is shining on the commercial street, and the breeze after the rain adds a bit of coolness to the sultry weather outside.

Jiang Xinghuo stood up and got a can of ice cola, feeling the refreshing feeling of carbon dioxide blooming on his taste buds, and let out a long soda burp.

Just as Jiang Xinghuo was about to get some food to fill his stomach, the cell phone on the sofa suddenly rang.
