My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 283 Mid-Autumn Festival
Jiang Xinghuo was busy from morning to night, and only settled down in the evening.

Jiang Xinghuo wiped the sweat from his forehead, closed the shop door, took a big gulp of ice cola, and went to the kitchen to get himself some food.

Since obtaining the Tathagatagarbha, Jiang Xinghuo seldom eats out. If he doesn't know the specific information, it doesn't matter if he is confused.

But after seeing the description of the ingredients, Jiang Xinghuo couldn't eat those things at all.

So most of the time, Jiang Xinghuo cooks at home. Whether it tastes good or not is another matter, but at least it doesn’t taste disgusting.

After a while, Jiang Xinghuo came out with a bowl of noodles. While eating, he took out his mobile phone and opened the secular game.

Today is August 15th. Needless to say, the real world is bustling, and there is also a lot of excitement in the secular world.

All major cities have their own festivals to celebrate, and the main festival in Longmen is the Yellow River Festival.

"On the lunar calendar, it's the lunar Christmas. Your evil star bite is affected by the universe and astrology. All your abilities will be greatly improved within three days."

"You are walking in the noisy crowd and you see many followers of the Year-Choosing Star Lord. Do you want to go up and say hello to them?"

"These followers of the Yearly Star God only appear in the secular world on this day every year, wandering the streets and alleys of major cities, and disappear without a trace the next morning."

"You go over and say hello to them, and they give you a mooncake and tell you to eat it."

"Do you want to eat this mooncake?"

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You can see that there is nothing wrong with this mooncake. The only flaw is that it was over-baked and the color looks a little dark."

Jiang Xinghuo saw that there was no problem, so he didn't think too much about it and chose to eat the mooncake directly.

"You have taken the auspicious mooncake."

"Your perception of inspiration has been greatly improved."

"Duration: 24 hours."

"You have attracted the attention of the Year-Chasing Star Lord."

"You heard a faint cry for help from the waning moon above your head. I don't know if it was an illusion."

Seeing this text, Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows, wondering what this meant. Wasn’t Zhusui Xingjun dead? How could he come out again?

"You greeted the followers of Zhu Sui Xing Jun again, and they took out another mooncake and motioned for you to eat it."

"You have taken the auspicious mooncake."

"You have attracted the attention of the Year-Chasing Star Lord."

"This time, you can be sure that you really heard a cry for help, and the source is the waxing and waning land in the night sky."

"You have triggered relevant worldly knowledge."

"The cry for help from the Crescent Moon Land. This is a strange event that has been circulating in the secular world for a long time. It is said that every Mid-Autumn Festival, someone will hear a cry for help from the Crescent Moon Land."

"As for who sent out the call for help, there are many different opinions in the secular world. There are all kinds of stories, but there is a rumor that there is a mysterious prison above the Yinqingyuanqian land, which imprisoned ancient monsters and demons from the previous era."

"If someone can find the location of that prison, they can release the imprisoned ancient being and receive rewards and gifts from it."

Looking at the text content that kept popping up on the screen, Jiang Xinghuo speculated two possibilities in his mind.

The first possibility is just as described in the experience.

There might really be a mysterious prison on the moon in the secular world, imprisoning the ancient monsters and demons of the last era, waiting for someone to rescue it.

There is another possibility, that there is really a mysterious prison on the moon in the secular world, but the person imprisoned there is not some ancient monster from the last era, but the mysterious Zhu Sui Xingjun. Jiang Xinghuo thought about it, but he couldn't figure out which possibility was more likely.

But he was more inclined to the second one, and the reason was very simple. It was because he had attracted the attention of the Year-Recruiting Star Lord.

If Zhu Sui Xing Jun was really killed by Lord Ling Guan, then it would be impossible for him to appear in the secular world again.

Jiang Xinghuo thought again of the hidden mission "Journey to the Starry Sky" that he had started, as well as the legends about the Zhusui Star God's Taoist temple circulating in the secular world.

Is there any connection between them?

unknown.

Jiang Xinghuo shook his head, sighed softly, and wolfed down the noodles before continuing to play the game.

"You followed the crowd forward and found a fellow exile, the 'Kangar Man'. Do you want to go over and say hello?"

"You walked up to the other person and said hello. The other person responded to you very kindly and gave you a small gift."

"You have obtained the scorch torch."

"Liaokan Torch (consumable item), a folk magic tool made by the exile Liaokan people. It can dispel evil spirits, prevent diseases, and protect the home."

"Duration: 3 months."

"You received a gift from the other party. In return, shouldn't you give something back?"

"You gave me a bottle of ambergris in return."

"Ambergris (consumable item), touch the mucus secreted by Long A Tai, it has a pleasant fragrance, has the effect of removing toxins, removing blood stasis, and refreshing the mind."

Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the text and took out the torch. A dry and cracked piece of wood appeared in his hand, with a red flame burning on it.

Liao gan is a custom in the northwest, usually performed on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. The tradition in the north is to worship the kitchen god, while the tradition in the northwest is to burn gan.

There is a folk saying: On the 23rd day of the first lunar month every year, every household burns the rickets. One burn will cure them completely, two burns will clear them completely, and three burns will keep you healthy for the rest of your life.

Using this traditional custom to bless yourself with peace throughout your life is a beautiful wish.

At this moment, a new game text popped up, making Jiang Xinghuo's eyes light up.

"Do you want to perform the "Gathering Fire Method" to integrate this wisp of fire into your body?"

Jiang Xinghuo quickly put away the torch and chose the fusion option.

"You have merged, burning fire."

"The stove fire you control also contains a trace of the characteristics of malnutrition fire. It has a strong suppressing and burning effect on malnutrition and the monsters and demons spawned by related forces."

Jiang Xinghuo stretched out his right hand, and with a thought, a golden-red flame rose up, like a lotus slowly blooming, and then slowly disappeared.

Done! !
Jiang Xinghuo tried it several times, and only after the novelty wore off did he look down at the phone screen.

"You follow the crowd and continue walking out of the city..."

"The Yellow River Festival is held at Longmen Ferry. The Longmen Urban Management Team is maintaining order to prevent stampedes. If there are any fights or brawls, they will intervene to stop them."

"As you were walking out, you suddenly noticed a fellow Exile named "Pyrotechnician". He was continuously releasing streams of fireworks to add color and excitement to the Yellow River Festival."

"Do you want to go over and say hello?"
