My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 271 Past Events

"It is said that during the reign of the Lord of the World, there was an ancient legend in Longmen that a large white snake would appear on Fentau Mountain thirty miles outside the city at midnight on the fifteenth day of every month. If one could find the white snake and pray devoutly, one would receive a gift from the white snake, which could be gold, silver, jewelry, or even a magical weapon."

"At that time, there was a big escort agency in the city, running rampant on the Sichuan-Shaanxi Road. Many big thieves fled at the sight of it. It was very popular. When the chief escort heard about this, he insisted on taking his brothers to have a look. He said that if such a good thing really happened, they would rob the white snake and get all the treasures back. Then everyone would share it, so that they wouldn't have to risk their lives to escort the enemy."

"It happened to be the Chinese New Year, and the fifteenth night was the Lantern Festival. The head escort drank a lot of wine, and brought his men to Fentou Ridge with a knife. He actually saw a big white snake, which was as thick as two people hugging together, more than ten meters long, and had a big meat bun on its head. It was about to turn into a dragon."

"If it were any other time, seeing this big white snake, the head escort would be a little confused and might have taken his men back."

"But that night, they had drunk a lot of wine, and their blood was boiling. They took advantage of the alcohol and went crazy. Not only did they kill the white snake, they also followed the clues and found the cave where the white snake lived, and robbed countless gold, silver and treasures."

"After the mission was completed, the chief escort led his brothers back happily to continue drinking. Unexpectedly, that night, he dreamed of an old woman crying and saying that the big snake was the son of her son, the White Emperor, who was about to turn into a dragon, but was killed by the chief escort and his men. She must make them pay for their blood debt with blood."

"The next day, all the escorts and men who had gone to Fentouling last night died suddenly, tragically on their beds."

"The chief escort was also infected with a serious disease, with sores all over his body. Although he relied on his internal energy to hold on for a few days, he eventually died of torture."

"Since then, anyone who passes by Fentouling at night will be infected with herpes simplex virus and suffer from severe pain. In the mildest case, they will become seriously ill, and in the worst case, they will die on the spot!"

"The people in the city were also somewhat panicked, so they invited an old man from outside the city. After he came and took a look, he said that it was the remains of the White Emperor's son that were causing trouble."

"The White Emperor is practicing an ancient dragon transformation technique. He doesn't need to kill any living creatures to transform into a dragon. He just needs to survive the three disasters."

"As the saying goes, natural disasters are easy to avoid, geological disasters are easy to avoid, but man-made disasters are the hardest to deal with."

"In order to survive the final catastrophe, Baidizi took the initiative to make good connections with others and accumulate merits, but he didn't expect that he would still bring himself a fatal disaster."

"Because of the tragic death in the war, the resentment has not dissipated, and the half-body has been wandering around the Grave Ridge."

"But the sun is too hot during the day, so it only dares to come out at night. If it encounters someone, it will bite them and infect them with shingles."

"If we want to solve this problem, there is no other way except to convert the soul of the White Emperor."

"But not long after this happened, the Lord of the Secular World fell at dawn, and the earth fell apart. It fell into a turbulent situation with ghosts and gods fighting each other, warlords fighting each other, and gun smoke everywhere."

"Fentouling was also razed to the ground by bombing and firearms during the war, so there are only a few people alive who know this legend."

"You triggered Wu Tongzi's map."

"You discovered that the Fentou Ridge recorded in ancient documents coincides with the location on the map provided by Wu Tongzi."

After reading this long essay, Jiang Xinghuo finally figured out what was going on.

In order to transcend the calamity and transform into a dragon, the son of the White Emperor took the initiative to establish good relationships with others, but he didn't expect to meet bandits and ruin his life and cultivation.

The Fentouling where Baidizi was killed was the place where Wu Tongzi practiced martial arts, so he contracted herpes zoster.

"What are you going to do now?"

"Will you choose to go to Fentou Ridge immediately to find out what's going on? Or will you stay away from it and avoid this bad luck?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and realized that all the clues had been found. It would be a pity if he didn't go.

The worst result is nothing more than death. Although herpes simplex virus is very powerful, the things on his body are not vegetarian. Whether it is Molong A Tai, the Bodhi Cake of Yushanxian, or the Thousand Poisons that Do Not Invade the Body, they can effectively resist the invasion of herpes simplex virus.

Nothing to be afraid of.

"You chose to go to Grave Ridge."

"You are on your way..."

"Please wait……"

"You met a lot of weird beasts along the way, including wild yellow-skinned people, elusive branding heads, and a lot of upside-down Yanba tigers."

"But the smell of the exorcism bag on your body makes these beasts afraid to approach, saving you a lot of trouble."

"You have arrived at Grave Hill."

"In the early days of the separatist war, King Taiping fought a fierce battle with Lord Wu for the right to rule the Longmen area. Both sides used a large number of firearms and flattened the mountain with an altitude of more than 100 meters. They even used a lot of radioactive weapons, so that there was no grass growing on Fentouling Ridge for many years."

"You explored the surrounding area carefully and found traces of Wu Tongzi practicing martial arts. This should be the place where he was bitten by the remains of the White Emperor."

"But it's still early now. We have to wait a few hours before the moon comes out. You can rest for a while."

"Of course, you can also walk around first to see if you can find the White Emperor's residence. Maybe you can find some unexpected gains."

The game text has already given the instructions up to this point. If Jiang Xinghuo still doesn’t understand it, he would be a fool.

This clearly told himself that there were still good things in Baidizi's mansion that had not been taken away.

"You used the Water Mirror Round Light Technique."

"You have taken in all the scenes within a radius of several miles. Not long after, you found a suspicious cave in a valley several miles away. Do you want to go and take a look?"

"You chose to go and check it out."

"You have come to a valley several miles away. It is overgrown with weeds and jagged rocks. The cave is completely covered by weeds. Even if you pass by it, it is difficult to find that there is a cave here."

"You have discovered the abandoned mansion of the White Emperor."

"Do you want to go in and explore the treasure?"

Looking at the game text on the screen, Jiang Xinghuo felt a little sad. He couldn't help but feel lucky that he didn't believe the nonsense in the game and ran away with the fortune teller's eyes, otherwise he wouldn't have triggered the subsequent plots.

"You chose to enter the cave."

"You walked into the cave and began to explore. You found that the space inside the cave was very spacious. Although most of the gold and silver treasures had been looted, you found a few dusty boxes in hidden corners."

"Do you want to open these boxes?"
