My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 288 Yellow River Tomb
"Do you want to integrate Master Huanghe's Bagua Psychic Ear?"

Jiang Xinghuo took a look at the text description. It could greatly improve hearing range and inspiration cognition, so there was nothing to hesitate about. As long as there was nothing wrong with his brain, he would not choose to refuse.

Especially improving the ability of inspiration recognition.

According to Jiang Xinghuo's previous gaming experience, the higher the inspiration cognition of the game character, the easier it is to trigger some hidden tasks during exploration.

This talent is somewhat similar to the sixth sense, and can discover many things that cannot be discovered under normal circumstances.

"You have merged, the gossip psychic ears."

"Your hearing ability and inspiration cognition have been greatly improved. You have the ability to hear the wind and the location, and listen to the voices of all things. The organ is newly born. Use the organ frequently to improve your proficiency."

As the game text indicated that the fusion was successful, Jiang Xinghuo in reality also felt the changes. His two ears suddenly became burning hot, as if he had been wandering outside without a hat in the dead of winter and then suddenly returned to a warm room. His ears felt so hot that they seemed to be burning.

But Jiang Xinghuo did not feel uncomfortable. Instead, he felt unusually comfortable, as if he had been freed from some restraints and had an unusual sense of relief.

There was also a rustling sound in the eardrum. This feeling lasted for about half an hour before the burning sensation gradually subsided.

As for the function of this Bagua Ear, Jiang Xinghuo simply tried it out and listened with his ear tilted. The faint sound outside became extremely clear, as if it was right next to his ear.

In addition, Jiang Xinghuo also discovered a magical thing, that is, he seemed to be able to hear the sounds of other objects.

Just like the wooden cabinets and shelves in the shop, he could clearly feel that they were whispering, telling what he had seen and heard during the day.

This feeling was very strange. It was clearly an inanimate object without consciousness, but it made the sound of speaking.

At this moment, the folk shop that seemed very quiet to outsiders was extremely noisy in Jiang Xinghuo's ears.

But just when Jiang Xinghuo wanted to go further and communicate with those objects.

There seems to be an invisible barrier between the two, and effective communication cannot be established no matter what.

"pity……"

Jiang Xinghuo was a little disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his mood. He was content with what he had. He was already satisfied to have this Bagua Psychic Ear. What else did he want? He might as well stop while he was ahead.

"You have activated the Fengdu Shrine."

"You left Huangni Village and returned to the shrine in Longmendi."

"You have arrived at the crossing of the Yellow River. Under the muddy water, there are turbulent undercurrents and countless huge monsters are hiding in it."

"Eight Trigrams Psychic Ear, triggered."

"You walk along the river bank, listen to the surging sound of the Yellow River, and get some information from it."

"You have learned the clues to the Yellow River Underground Palace."

"When the Yellow River Lord built the underground palace, only this turbid and raging river, flowing day and night, witnessed everything from beginning to end."

"You used the unique gift of the Eight Trigrams Psychic Ear to intercept some of the remaining information fragments from that year."

"We found the entrance to the Yellow River Underground Palace, hidden under the muddy sand at the bottom of the river."

"Do you want to go down and explore immediately?"

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo suddenly realized that the Yellow River Goddess had already told him the location of the Yellow River Underground Palace through other means.

The two special organs, the treasure-hunting eyes and the eight-diagram ears, are the key to finding the Yellow River Lord’s underground palace.

"You quietly sank into the water and dived to the depths of the Yellow River. Using your treasure-hunting eyes, you quickly found a sealed and hidden stone door to the underground palace on the muddy riverbed." "You triggered the route map to the Yellow River Underground Palace."

"Under the guidance of the blueprint, you found the mechanism to open the stone door. You used the turbulent undercurrent of the Yellow River to open the sealed stone door, and then turned into a beam of lightning and instantly rushed behind the door."

"You have arrived at the underground palace of Lord Huanghe."

"You found the dilapidated shrine at the entrance of the underground palace. Do you want to light it up?"

"You lit up the shrine in the Yellow River Underground Palace."

Seeing that the teleportation point was successfully lit up, Jiang Xinghuo felt relieved. He could teleport here at any time in the future and didn't have to worry about dying in any way.

"What are you going to do now?"

"Will you choose to explore the Yellow River Underground Palace right away? Or will you go outside and call your compatriots to come here and explore together?"

"Please note that since you are the first exile to discover the Yellow River Underground Palace, you will have absolute priority in exploration rights within the next seven days."

"But after seven days, the news of the Yellow River Underground Palace's discovery will spread and more and more people will know about it."

Jiang Xinghuo took a look at the text and thought that those who came before him planted trees and those who came after him enjoyed the shade. He never expected that he would have the opportunity to become one of these so-called predecessors.

But it doesn't matter. Seven days should be enough. I can go back to the niche shop to get some raw materials and make more dog food. The worst that can happen is that I won't sleep for these seven days and seven nights. At least I can complete the exploration of this underground palace.

"You chose to explore the underground palace."

"According to the route map that Huanghe Niangniang gave you, this underground palace is divided into two floors. The things on the upper floor are all the treasures left by Mr. Huanghe, and the lower floor is Mr. Huanghe's resting place."

"You could have chosen to go directly to the depths of the underground palace to look for the treasures, but your treasure-hunting eyes came in handy. You found several murals on the wall at the entrance of the underground palace. They seemed to record something."

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You have seen the secrets hidden beneath the surface of those murals."

"You have discovered the old secular method of offering sacrifices to heaven"

"These murals were accidentally dug out from under the riverbed mud when the Yellow River Lord was suppressing the water veins. They are suspected to be sacrificial rituals handed down from the old secular era."

"The Yellow River God once performed a grand ceremony using this method. However, three days after the ceremony, all the monsters and demons under the Yellow River went crazy and killed each other to death."

"It was not until three days later that the Yellow River returned to its former calm. The Yellow River Lord was still frightened and felt deeply uneasy. He thought that this sacrificial method was too evil, so he sealed it in the underground palace and never saw the light of day again."

Jiang Xinghuo was a little surprised. He didn't expect to have such a big harvest just after entering the underground palace.

If I didn’t have the Tathagatagarbha, I would have missed out on these treasures.

"You have mastered the old secular method of offering sacrifices to the heavens."

"This is a sacrificial ritual that has been passed down from the old secular imperial era, and is usually used in grand rituals used by the royal family to worship the heavens."

"According to some ancient texts, the Lord of the secular world in the old days once used this great sacrifice method to destroy his own era."

"Of course, these are just anecdotes circulating among the people. The contents of these anecdotes are false and exaggerated, mostly fabricated by later generations. They have no basis and cannot be considered true."

"After all, the old secular era is too far away. I'm afraid no one knows what happened."
