My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 247 Eight Spirits Building

Seeing this game text, Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but laugh. It was clearly telling him that there was a trap and he should jump into it quickly.

"Do you want to go over and pick up a leak?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and decided to go over and take a look. It’s better to be safe than sorry. If there really is something good there, it would be a pity to miss it.

"You choose to go and have a look."

"But when you walk to the old beggar's stall, you will find that the things in front of him are all insignificant junk, without any value at all."

"The only ancient painting that looked good was a fake made by an old beggar using soy sauce and strong tea."

"You stood up and tried to leave the stall."

"The old beggar suddenly started shouting."

"They say that since you've seen their stuff, you have to buy it, otherwise people will think it's fake and they won't be able to sell it anymore."

"You didn't hold back and pointed out the other party's counterfeiting methods directly. When the old beggar saw that you had exposed their methods, he knew that he had met an expert and left in a hurry with a dusty face."

"However, although you exposed the old beggar's conspiracy, you also incurred his jealousy."

"Just when you were passing through an alley, the old beggar and his disciples blocked you in the dark alley."

"The old beggar asked you to hand over all the incense and offerings you had, otherwise he would beat you to death and throw you into a deserted place to feed the stray dogs."

"How are you going to deal with the old beggar?"

"Will you choose to give in and offer them some incense to keep things quiet? Or will you just take action and kill them here?"

"Please note that there are evil ghosts and evil spirits patrolling the streets in the Ghost House. Private fighting is strictly prohibited. Once discovered, you will be expelled from the Ghost House and will never be allowed to enter again."

But Jiang Xinghuo didn't care about this rule. Even if he was really discovered, the worst that could happen was that he would change his identity and come in again.

He has a lot of props on him to conceal his identity.

"You chose to take direct action."

"You opened your magic bag and took out the six corpse coffins. With a thought, a emaciated zombie flew out of the iron coffin that symbolized the hungry ghost realm."

"In just a few moments, the old beggar and his disciples were all swallowed by the hungry ghost zombie, leaving no trace of their existence."

"You killed him, the Beggars' Sect elders are not afraid of poverty."

"You killed 20 Beggars' Sect disciples."

"You get the spoils of war, incense +1400."

"You were about to leave the alley when you found a blood-stained invitation on the ground."

"An invitation letter to the Linglou Festival. There are many participants in the Linglou Festival, and the seats are ranked according to strength. However, the old beggar's cultivation is too low, so he can only be ranked in the third-class seat at the bottom."

"You can go to the Eight Spirits Building in the center of the Ghost Square. As long as you pass the test of the Bull-Headed Yaksha, you will be eligible to attend the meeting."

"Do you want to go over right now?"

"The Linglou Festival will be held in three days. Within three days, you can go to the Eight Linglou at any time to participate in the Niutou Yaksha's assessment."

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo thought for a moment and decided to choose no.

Three days is enough time. He wants to take advantage of these three days of free time to explore the Ghost House. There is no need to go there now.

The next things were much simpler. Jiang Xinghuo controlled the game character and began to explore the ghost house.

But there weren't many things to find, they were just some useless common props and materials. Jiang Xinghuo wandered around for a long time but didn't get anything, so he found the brass key of the White Lotus Saint.

"You find an idle spirit medium, give it 100 incense sticks, and ask it to take you to the White Lotus Saint's private residence in Ghost Square."

"The evil medium happily put away the incense and took you to the private residence of the White Lotus Saint."

"You learned from this evil medium that the White Lotus Saint is also quite famous in the Bashu Ghost House. She likes those pretty boys the most, and her words reveal a lot of envy."

"Soon, you arrived at the private residence of the White Lotus Saint."

"Send away the evil medium, take out the brass key, and unlock the iron lock on the gate."

"You walked into the courtyard and found that it was not very big. There was only one house, a jujube tree, a dry well, and a pavilion."

"Do you want to explore this yard?"

Now that he's here, Jiang Xinghuo naturally has no reason to refuse.

"You walked into the house and saw that the furniture was covered with rotten dust, as if no one had cleaned it for a long time."

"You began to explore the house, and after a careful search, you found something."

"But most of these things are 'daily necessities' that stimulate desire and contribute to a harmonious life. They don't seem to be of any use to you, but will only dirty your hands."

After seeing this text, Jiang Xinghuo thought to himself, what kind of people are these? Is it possible that apart from these filthy things, they didn't leave anything useful behind?

"You searched the house again, but you still didn't find anything. All you found were those annoying little things."

"But at this moment, you suddenly heard a strange noise coming from outside, as if someone pushed the door and walked in."

"You walked out of the house and saw a handsome, philandering man walking in with a jar of wine."

"When the Flower Greedy Guest saw you coming out of the house, his expression suddenly changed and he immediately attacked you."

"You were attacked by the Flower Greedy Guest."

"You stood there without dodging or evading, and blocked all the attacks from the opponent with just your inferior iron vest."

“After seeing this, Greedy Flower realized that he had run into a tough opponent and that he was no match for him, so he turned around and tried to run away.”

"You casually threw out a palm thunder."

"The Flower Greedy Guest was struck by lightning and fell to the ground with his body stiff. Then you slowly stepped forward and asked about the White Lotus Saint."

"The flower-loving guest dared not hide anything, and told everything out like a bamboo tube pouring beans."

"You learned from the flower-loving guest that Saint White Lotus has a good relationship with Lady Lu from the Ghost Market of Celebrating Happiness and Joy. Perhaps Saint White Lotus left all her treasures with Lady Lu."

"You have obtained the clue of Madam Lu."

"Madam Lu, the ghost master's subordinate, controls the Qingxi Xingyi Ghost Market. It is said that she has a close relationship with the White Lotus Saint."

"In order to save his own life, Greedy Flower diligently drew a map for you. With this map, you can find the ghost market where Lady Lu is."

"You have obtained the map of Qingxi Xingyi Ghost Market."

Jiang Xinghuo curled his lips, thinking that it was a wasted trip and he didn't find anything. He had to go find Madam Lu again.

I don’t know what kind of character that is, and whether I can defeat him. If I can’t, I guess I can only watch helplessly as the White Lotus Saint and the others do nothing.
