My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 239 Big Buddy

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo thought to himself that he should not join in the fun. It is better to have less trouble than more. If it brings trouble to himself, it will be too unprofitable.

"You chose to leave the scene as quickly as possible."

"You stepped forward and took away the three-pronged Heaven-supporting Fork, and then opened Gui Yunzi's storage bag and took the things inside for yourself. After doing all this, you used the escape technique and quietly left the scene."

"You found a quiet place and started to check today's harvest. Gui Yunzi has practiced for so many years and has accumulated a lot of good things."

"You counted them one by one and found a brass key, a directional teleportation talisman, a Baijia lamp, a heart-protecting pill, a bowl of Baijia rice seeds, a scapegoat, two gate talismans, a map of the Bashu ghost market, a pass to the Puppet Spirit Building, and a handwritten copy of the secret of the Seven Evils Soul Refining Technique."

"Brass key (common item). Gui Yunzi has a private house in Bashu Ghost House. It is where he usually stays when he goes to the Ghost House for training. He has set up restrictions on it. If you force your way in without the key, the detonating talisman buried under the house will blow the entire house up into the sky."

"Directional Teleportation Talisman (consumable item), the coordinates of which are anchored at the teleportation talisman of the Bashu Ghost Farm. As long as you use your mana to activate the power of the talisman, you can cross a distance of tens of millions of miles in an instant and reach the Ghost Farm in the Bashu region."

"Hundred Lanterns (consumable item), an item bestowed by the master of the Bashu Ghost Workshop to his guardians. It can randomly borrow one of the master's abilities to escape or deal with enemies."

"Heart Protection Pill (rare consumable item), a pill made by the Medicine King's descendant himself. After taking it, it can temporarily protect one's heart meridians. Even if one is fatally injured, it can extend one's lifespan for 24 hours."

"A hundred rice seeds (common item), a must for refining a bountiful harvest. You need to collect rice seeds from a hundred prosperous families and then water them with sweet rain for three years before you can successfully refine them."

"Death substitute (excellent item). After fusion, it can protect the host from a fatal crisis and help the host escape. However, it can only be used once within 24 hours."

"You can go find the Taoist master in Maoshan and ask him to upgrade and fuse this scapegoat with the one in your hand. Do you want to go now?"

Jiang Xinghuo naturally would not refuse and directly chose the answer "yes".

"You found the Taoist Master Shengong of Maoshan and explained your purpose to him. He did not reject you but was happy to help you."

"The scapegoat is being upgraded..."

"Please wait……"

"update successed."

"You have been given a scapegoat."

"Current number of deaths: 6/6."

"The level of the scapegoat has been successfully upgraded, and the cooldown period has been shortened to twelve hours."

Jiang Xinghuo was a little surprised. The increase in the number of substitutions was within his expectations, but he did not expect the cooling time to be shortened as well.

The original cooling time of the scapegoat was 24 hours, but now it has been shortened to half.

The number of times I died as a substitute doubled, leaving me with more opportunities to explore, which was indeed an unexpected surprise.

Jiang Xinghuo happily put away the scapegoat and continued to look at other things.

"The Gate Talisman (excellent item), a kind of talisman recorded in the Essentials of Maoshan Talismans. Stick it on both sides of the door to prevent evil spirits from entering the house."

"A map of the Bashu Ghost Market (common item). There are more than ten ghost markets in the Bashu Ghost Market. It is difficult to find the entrance to a ghost market without a guide. This map records the entrances and locations of two ghost markets in detail."

"The pass token of the Puppet Spirit Building (common item). The Puppet Spirit Building is a very mysterious sect in the secular world. Although there are not many disciples, they are all proficient in the art of puppetry. It is common for one person to control hundreds of puppets."

"The Seven Evils Soul Refining Handwritten Book, this secret method was copied by Gui Yunzi himself, and it also contains a lot of cultivation experience and various precautions." "For those who are also practicing the Seven Evils Soul Refining, it is a rare cultivation manual."

Disdain showed on Jiang Xinghuo's face. People still have to have some bottom line. Anyone with a conscience would not touch this kind of magic that uses the souls of dead children. If they meet someone who practices this kind of evil magic, they will kill him without hesitation.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo took out the secret book and threw it into the copper basin beside him.

Then, a flash of lightning passed through his palm, and the manuscript of the Seven Evils Soul Refining was instantly burned to ashes.

"Where are you planning to go next?"

Looking at the options listed in the text, Jiang Xinghuo chose to go to Xishen City. He also had a book on winemaking secrets in his hand, which he wanted to give to the old winemaker who ran the wine shop in Xishen City.

"You used the power of the Maoshan Shrine, expended a certain amount of energy, and were teleported back to Xishen City."

"You awakened at the shrine in the City of Joy."

"You walked into the City of Joyful Gods. Because the Blessing Immortal died, there were many lazy Blessing Immortals on the streets."

"Some people with good fortune don't have money to exchange for Fu Shou cigarettes, so they set their sights on you, wanting to use your flesh and blood to exchange for something at the meat cabinet of the pawn shop."

"You walked to the entrance of a remote alley, and a few ragged benefactors jumped out, holding shiny weapons in their hands."

"You started a fight with a few blessed ones, but after just three or two moves, you beat them so badly that they fled far away and never dared to bother you again."

"You grabbed a blessed person's hair, wanting to kill him completely. The blessed person kept begging for mercy, saying that he had something to tell you and hoped that you would spare his life."

"Do you want to let this blessed person go?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and realized that it was just a small minion. There was not much difference between killing it and not killing it, so he simply let it go.

"You let this blessing person go."

"The blessed man escaped death and expressed his gratitude to you profusely. He also told you about the matter of the big man."

"You have triggered the Golden Casket Collection of Books."

"You want to know something about [Big Buddy]."

"Automatically searching for keywords..."

"Please wait……"

"Reading for you."

"You learned some information about the big guy through the records in the Golden Casket."

"My dear fellow, this is a peddler with a mysterious origin. No one knows where he comes from or where he is going. He will only appear randomly in the secular world. It may be in a rural village or a prosperous town."

"It also has a lot of mysterious goods, including some legendary props and magical instruments. But whether you can find it and make a deal with it depends entirely on your fate."

"According to the information from the blessing source, the big guy may come to Xishen City in the near future, and may have already arrived here."
