My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 253: Blessing of the Horse King God (3k)

died?

Looking at the bloody game text, Jiang Xinghuo was stunned. He didn't understand what had happened. Why did he suddenly die?
Could it be that an evil person did this?
It shouldn’t be! !
If it had this ability, it would not have been beaten into a panic by itself, nor would it have dropped the Wuchang Dharma Flag in its hand.

Jiang Xinghuo was wondering in his heart when the new game text popped up. After reading it, he finally understood what was going on.

"You have arrived at the Black and White Ghost City."

"The Black Funeral and White Death Ghost Market is one of the thirteen ghost markets under the Ghost Master. It has incubated many fierce creatures. There are dangers at every step. If you are not careful, you will die without a complete corpse."

"You are dead."

"You triggered the scapegoat effect."

"It works for the dead straw man."

"Your strength has been restored."

"Current number of substitutions (4/6)."

"You open your eyes, and with the power of the scapegoat, you escape, and the scarecrow turns to ashes and disappears."

"You discovered the Black and White Death God."

"Do you want to use the Tathagatagarbha to investigate the other party?"

"You used the innate ability of Tathagata to successfully discover the origin and identity of the Black and White Death God."

"The Black and White God of Death, the ruler of the Black and White Ghost Market, was originally the offspring of the Ghost Master, but died young, so he was transformed into a great evil god by the Ghost Master. He is good at using bad luck to borrow life."

"The evil man deliberately led you here in order to make the Black and White Gods take action to avenge himself today."

"Exile, what are you going to do next?"

"Do you want to just admit defeat and beg the Black and White God to let you go? Or do you want to take this opportunity to test the other party's ability?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about the two options. He couldn't admit defeat, otherwise his death would be in vain. He might as well try this guy's ability first.

It would be best if you can defeat them, but if you can't, then just run away as soon as possible and it won't be too late to explore again with a different identity.

"You fought with the Black and White Death God."

"The Black and White Death God waved his hand, and a huge black fog surged behind him. Countless skinny, jackal-like evil spirits rushed towards you from behind the black fog."

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You have seen through the true origins of those evil spirits."

"Big Hungry Ghost (Rare). Buddha said that the hungry ghosts in the six realms of reincarnation are like cows, ghosts, and snakes. They have empty stomachs but do not know how to be hungry or full. They only know how to greedily eat more until they fill themselves to death."

"You used the landmine method."

"The Land Mine Method (excellent technique) is used to create all things, nourish the five grains, wipe out insects and locusts, kill mountain spirits and stone monsters, clear away mountain mists and miasma, rescue dead souls, control the earth, and pray for clear weather and rain. There is no need to report it."

"The Thunder Ancestor's Treasure Scroll emits a purple-gold light, and the blazing lightning spreads out from between your hands, instantly annihilating all the hungry ghosts."

"You have killed 40 big hungry ghosts."

"You gained incense +1000."

"Strike while the iron is hot and use the Five Thunders Righteousness once again to launch a frontal attack on the Black and White Death Gods.

"Because your thunder magic is the nemesis of all evil spirits and ghosts, the opponent quickly fell into a disadvantage."

"Do you want to kill the Black and White Death God once and for all?"

Two options, kill or let go.

Jiang Xinghuo originally wanted to kill this black and white ghost completely, but the text that appeared afterwards made him change his mind.

"You have attracted the attention of the Onibozu."

Jiang Xinghuo scratched his head and thought that his apprentice was still no match for his son. He had just beaten the evil man so badly, but the ghost master didn't make any move.

Now, as soon as the Black and White God of Death fell into a disadvantage, he attracted the attention of the Ghost Master.

"Do you still want to kill them all?"

"If you insist on killing the Black and White God, you will face the most terrible revenge."

"At that time, all the monsters in the Ghost House will be inspired to hunt you down endlessly."

Jiang Xinghuo is not a fool. He would never and should not do anything that would clearly put him at a disadvantage.

"You chose to let the Black and White God go."

"The Black and White Death God escaped a disaster."

"In order to express his gratitude, the Onibozu gave you something, just as a reward for you."

"You have received the invitation to the Linglou Gala."

"The invitation letter personally sent by the Demon Lord allows you to ignore all rules and receive priority service."

Jiang Xinghuo thought that he was lucky to have met a polite boss. If it were any other ghosts, fairies or gods, they would probably not even pay any attention to him.

Jiang Xinghuo put the invitation letter into his magic bag. There were still three days left. Now that he had the invitation letter, he didn't need to challenge the Bull-Headed Yaksha anymore. He could just go there directly when the time came.

"Where are you planning to go next?"

There are several options listed below, the first of which is the 'Black Funeral and White Funeral Ghost Market'.

"Are you going to the Black Funeral and White Funeral Ghost City?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and decided that since he was already here, there was no need to mess around anymore. He could just go in and take a look. "You chose to go to the Black Funeral and White Funeral Ghost Market."

"You have arrived at the Black and White Ghost City."

"You walked into the ghost market and wandered around the streets, where you saw a lot of strange things, most of which were dug out from graves."

"At this time, a local farmer who came from the northwest mining town stopped you."

"It wants to exchange something from its stall with you. Are you willing?"

Jiang Xinghuo took a look and didn't think much about it. He just chose yes. He would decide whether it would succeed or not later. He would first see what it wanted to exchange for.

"The tomb robber sensed the aura of the 'Gold-touching Talisman' on you. There are not many of these things left in the world now. Each of the remaining ones is extremely precious and is the treasure that the tomb-touching lieutenant dreams of."

"Therefore, it is willing to exchange all the items on the stall for the tomb-grabbing talisman on your body. Do you want to exchange with it?"

Touching gold talisman? ?

Jiang Xinghuo remembered that these were the odds and ends he had obtained in the Baishui River Underground Palace, and they had never been of any use to him.

Since this tomb robber wants it, just exchange it with him. It won't cause any loss to you anyway.

"You agreed to the tomb robber's condition. You took out the tomb robber's talisman from your magic bag and gave it to the tomb robber in front of you."

"You have lost the Touching Gold Talisman."

"The tomb robber has given you his stall as promised. Now everything on the stall belongs to you."

"You have obtained the tomb-raiding lieutenant's niche."

Jiang Xinghuo keenly noticed that the game text had changed, and the title had changed from Tu Fu Zi to Mo Jin Xiao Wei.

He guessed in his heart that perhaps the tomb-grabbing talisman was a professional certification. Only with this thing could one be considered a tomb-grabbing lieutenant, otherwise he would just be a low-level tomb-grabber.

This also explains why the tomb robber was willing to exchange everything on his stall for the tomb-grabbing talisman on his body.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo began to check those things.

"You used your Tathagata's gift to count the items on the stall one by one. In addition to some burial objects, you actually found a few unexpectedly good things."

"You have received the blessing of the Horse King God."

"Blessing of the Horse King God (rare item). The Horse King God was originally a deity worshipped by the common people. He controls the power of the house, the people's livelihood, and the creation. He has the responsibility to protect the house, the environment, and the people."

"We have the authority to manage and control all the people's livelihood businesses in the market, and we can use them to our advantage."

"Do you want to integrate the blessing of the Horse King God?"

"You have merged, blessed by the Horse King God."

"You can gain strength from the power of the Horse King God. The more duties and powers you fulfill, the stronger the power you gain."

Seeing the last paragraph of text, Jiang Xinghuo seemed thoughtful. Gaining strength from the power wielded by the Horse King God?
According to the description in the game text, the power held by the Horse King God is to protect the home, the country and the people.

So if I want to gain stronger power, don’t I have to start from this aspect? ?
However, power is too abstract and needs to be carefully considered.

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Instead, he became more confused.

Since entering the game, his methods of increasing his strength have mostly relied on in-game opportunities or his own meditation and practice.

But now the blessing from the Horse King God has provided him with another way of thinking, which is to fulfill the corresponding power responsibilities and then gain stronger strength from the power.

It sounds somewhat similar to the method of becoming a god through faith.

Maybe give it a try if you have a chance.

Jiang Xinghuo took a deep breath and stopped thinking about those things. Instead, he turned to look at the remaining two things.

"You have obtained the map of the Skyfire Mine."

"This is a micro-carved map engraved on a copper plate. If your Tathagata-garbha is not too sharp, it would be difficult to detect it with just a pair of naked eyes."

"A map of the Skyfire Mine (common item), a map of a mine in the northwest mining city."

"Legend has it that in ancient times, fire fell from the sky and formed a mine shaft that was hundreds of feet deep."

"But no one has explored it to the bottom. The location marked on this map is only about 300 feet below the mine."

Three hundred feet?
According to the measurement of the real world, it is about one thousand meters.

And this is not the limit of the mine. When you go to the mining city in the future, you can go and take a look. Maybe you can find some fragments of the skyfire.

"You have obtained the human skin notebook."

"You opened the note and found the words on it were obscure and difficult to read. Fortunately, you had the inkstone in your hand and were able to decipher the contents of the text."

"You have discovered the Old Testament of the Mahavairocana Sect."

"The Mahavairocana Sect is a sect of Esoteric Buddhism that was introduced to the West. It once competed with the Ten Directions Zen Monastery in Buddhism and was defeated. It was forced to sign the old agreement that as long as the Ten Directions Zen Monastery still exists, it cannot enter the world to preach."

"You can go to the Tibetan border with this old covenant, and perhaps you will be led into the Tantric Buddhism and inherit the Tantric Buddhist teachings."

Jiang Xinghuo read the text twice and roughly translated it.

To put it simply, the Mahavairocana sect was defeated by the Ten Directions Zen Sect in the debate.

Therefore, they were forced to make an agreement that they could not actively go out into the world to preach, but could only passively accept disciples.

This old testament is like a pass.

That’s a lot of boasting. I will try my best to update 8,000 words. Even if I can’t finish it today, I will definitely make it up tomorrow.
