My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 236 Lord Liu Ling

Jiang Xinghuo took out the three-pronged Heaven-supporting Fork and directly summoned the spirit of General Zengsun, instantly killing the Bleeding Man and the evil spirit in his body.

Moreover, there was no dragging of feet at all, it was extremely quick and neat, which surprised Jiang Xinghuo.

He didn't expect General Zeng's power to be so strong, but then he thought, General Zengsun was originally a Yin God under the command of the Lord of the Underworld, who specialized in suppressing those evil ghosts who disobeyed his orders.

It is probably understandable that the evil spirit in the Bloodletting Prince's body is no match for him. If it were any other monster, General Zengshen might not be able to defeat them.

"You killed the bloodletter in front of everyone. Those arrogant bloodletting boys lost their arrogance and fled like birds and beasts, fearing that you would kill them as well."

"You have obtained, Incense +30000."

Jiang Xinghuo calculated in his mind that when the Bloodletter killed him, he also took away 10000 incense sticks, which really made him feel a little painful.

Now, after killing the Bloodletter, he got 30000 incense sticks. Considering his original losses, he made a net profit of 20000 incense sticks.

This deal was not bad, and it made up for his mental loss, but before Jiang Xinghuo could be happy, the next game text gave him another blow! !

"You held the three-pronged Heaven-supporting Fork in your hand and asked General Zeng to subdue the true and evil spirits. Now that the mission has been completed, it is time to offer your reward."

When Jiang Xinghuo saw this game text, he felt something was wrong, as if something was going to happen.

"General Zeng has taken 10000 incense sticks from you. He is very satisfied with the gift of thanks you have given. You will get the due reward, and it will also give you the corresponding blessing."

"You have obtained the blessing of General Zeng."

"When you face underworld creatures or ghostly spirits, there is a chance that the shock effect will be triggered, causing the target's strength to drop by 70% instantly."

"You have lost 10000 incense sticks."

Looking at the game information on the screen, Jiang Xinghuo had a complicated expression. He couldn't tell whether it was good or bad. Although he lost 10000 incense sticks, he got the blessing of General Zeng.

But no matter what, General Zeng did not take away all the incense, and left him one third.

It seems that I have to use the [Three-Pronged Heaven-supporting Fork] with caution in the future. Unless the target is very powerful and difficult and the reward is huge, I should try to use this item as little as possible.

Otherwise, it would cost 10,000 incense sticks for each visit. Who can afford it? Which family can withstand such a way of playing.

“What are you going to do next?
"Would you like to wander around somewhere else? Or would you like to go into the clothing store and explore it carefully?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose the latter. He lost 10,000 incense sticks, so he had to get some benefits back here.

"You entered the bloodletting man's clothing shop."

"You killed the bloodletter, and his bloodletting boys were scattered like birds and beasts, and their whereabouts are unknown."

"You have arrived at the bloodletting boy's residence quite easily. Do you want to explore the house?"

"You took out the Tianmu demon glasses."

"Tianmu Monster Glasses (Excellent Prop), lenses made from the polished eyeballs of Tianmu Monsters. Any clues at the scene will not escape the inspection of these glasses."

"Put on these glasses and start searching the house. With the power of these glasses, no traces in the house can escape your eyes."

"Soon, you found a secret compartment."

"You found a thread-bound ancient book in the secret compartment. After reading it carefully, you found that it was actually a book on the secret of winemaking." "You got the secret of winemaking."

"The secrets of brewing wine (excellent tool) records the secrets of brewing a variety of wines, including some wines with magical effects."

"You triggered it, private investigator's notes."

"After you saw this winemaking secret book, you remembered a case recorded in the private detective's notes. It was a case commissioned by a wine shop in Xishen City."

"The owner of the liquor store said that his brewing secret was stolen and now he doesn't know where it is. He wants a private detective to help find the whereabouts of the secret."

"After investigating the scene, the private detective found some clues, but in the end he only found the culprit in the liquor store. When he wanted to question the culprit behind the scenes, the culprit suddenly died with blood coming out of all his orifices."

"The case was left unsolved. There were no follow-up clues if the private detective wanted to investigate further, which was regarded as a lifelong regret."

"I didn't expect that this winemaking secret book would be in the possession of the Bloodletting Prince, and now it has fallen into your hands. It can be considered a coincidence."

"If you can return this winemaking secret to the winemaker in Xishen City, I'm sure he will be grateful to you and treat you as a distinguished guest."

Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the text out of curiosity and took the thing into reality. The yellowed ancient book recorded a lot of wine-making tips in brush calligraphy.

Jiang Xinghuo thought for a moment, walked to the printer, copied the book of wine-making secrets page by page, then compiled it into a volume and placed it on the bookshelf, next to the incomplete work of Tiangong.

After doing all this, Jiang Xinghuo put away his things and turned back to continue playing the game.

"You put away the winemaking secrets and continued to explore the house, and found some small items."

"You have obtained a low-quality Gu breeding jar."

"A low-quality Gu-raising jar (common material), a common tool used by Miaojiang Gu Masters to raise Gu, but it has lost its spirituality. Bleeding is not used to raise Gu, but as a vessel for raising crickets."

"The crickets raised in this breeding jar are not only aggressive, but also have shells as hard as iron, and even a knife cannot pierce them."

"You got two golden-headed bullies."

"Golden Head Overlord (Ordinary Material), a cricket cultivated in a public bloodletting Gu pot, with a golden head and black back, as hard as iron, a great raw material for refining elixirs. It can also be fried and crushed, which can attract all crickets within a few miles."

Fighting crickets?
Jiang Xinghuo had no interest in this kind of game, so he simply threw it into the magic bag to see if he could use it in the future.

"You have already explored the Bloodletter's house thoroughly. There is nothing valuable left. Are you planning to go to the backyard next? Or leave here and go somewhere else?"

"You've made your choice, head to the backyard."

"But just when you wanted to leave, an old man reeking of alcohol walked in."

"It is none other than Lord Liu Ling, the owner of the Mingzhi Town Wine Shop."

"You've discovered it, Lord Liu Ling."

"Lord Liu Ling, the native monster of Mingzhi Town, is a giant willow tree transformed into a spirit."

"Many years ago, the great god Jiuzhongxian passed by Mingzhizhen and fell asleep drunk under a willow tree. He accidentally knocked over the wine gourd beside him, and the wine seeped into the ground and was absorbed by the roots of the willow tree."

“The willow tree thus gained spirituality. After hundreds of years, it absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, finally breaking free of its shackles and transforming into a human body.”
