My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 292 Broken Information

"You explore deep into the cave, and you see many ancient murals on the mottled stone walls inside the cave. The colors are as bright as they were back then."

"Observe the murals and find that the first few murals record the ancient rituals of offering sacrifices to heaven that you found at the entrance to the underground palace."

"However, the steps of the sacrificial ceremony are much more complicated, and the number of sacrifices required is also much greater. The contents of the previous murals seem to be a simplified version of these murals."

"You have triggered the talent of treasure-hunting eyes."

"You found that there are some things hidden behind these murals. Do you want to copy them from the stone wall and then destroy them to get the things hidden behind them?"

Seeing the option of the game text, Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation, then went to the niche shop for a walk and bought some props and skills for rubbing.

"You used the rubbing replication technique."

"You have copied down the complete version of the old ritual of offering sacrifices to the heavens and integrated it into your Tathagata Dharma Eye, mastering all the matters and steps of the entire ritual."

This was somewhat beyond Jiang Xinghuo's expectations. He thought he would have to study it himself after making a copy, but he did not expect that it would be directly incorporated into the Tathagatagarbha, thus saving the process of subsequent comprehension and research.

Although Jiang Xinghuo didn't know what the use of this sacrificial method was, he couldn't hold a ceremony to worship the sky in the real world.

But then again, it's never a bad thing to learn more, because you never know when it may come in handy.

Now that we have obtained the things recorded on these murals, the rest of the things will be much easier.

"You destroyed the murals on the wall, and in the alcove at the back, you found a beautiful little wisteria box."

"You have been given the Ayurvedic rattan box."

"Ayurveda is the great god of life in the secular world, and is also the great deity of the Vedic temple system of the Ten Directions Zen Forest. This rattan box has been blessed by Ayurveda, so it has the characteristics of being incorruptible and immortal."

"You opened the rattan box and found two yellowed bills and a black gold sand talisman in the box."

"You have obtained the old Chaofeng's relics."

"Old Chaofeng is a mysterious businessman walking in the secular world. He has many strange and bizarre treasures on him."

"It is said that all pawnshops in the secular world were established by disciples of the old Chaofeng, even the eight great imperial merchants of that time were no exception."

"You checked the things that the old Chaofeng left behind and found that the two old, yellowed bills were actually the pawn ticket stubs of Tiangong and Huanghe."

"You have found Mr. Huang He's pawn ticket."

"You have found the pawn ticket of Tiangong Ye."

"In order to build the underground palace, Mr. Huanghe specially invited Mr. Tiangong to help design and build the blueprints."

"But later, because of some problems, I pawned a few items with the old court official, and agreed that I could redeem the pawned items at any time in the future with the pawn ticket and incense."

"These two pawn tickets are proof of the contract. You can take them to the Datong Pawn Shop in Peking. When you hand them over to the shopkeeper, you can redeem the corresponding goods."

Jiang Xinghuo put the two bills away. Now two mission clues have been triggered, one is Yanshen Village in Huanglong River in Guandong, and the other is Datong Pawnshop in Peking.

There may be new mission clues in the future. It seems that this exploration trip of the Yellow River Underground Palace will bring many unexpected gains.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the remaining black talisman again.

When he was in Maoshan, he obtained the secret of talismans, which contained very detailed records. The power level of the talisman was closely related to the color of the talisman paper.

Yellow talisman paper is the most common and the easiest to find. The next level is purple talisman paper, followed by black talisman paper, and the highest level is gold talisman paper. The most outrageous one is the gold talisman paper, which costs a terrifying price of 20000 incense sticks.

Black talisman paper is on the second tier, and its price is exactly ten times lower, requiring only 2000 incense sticks per piece, but it is already very precious.

After all, props like talismans are consumables and cannot be reused, so it's just a waste of money.

"You have discovered that talismans are not suitable for everything."

"A Talisman of All Things Not Suitable (special consumable), a talisman product that contains the power of usurpation and blasphemy. It has the ability to destroy various sacrificial ceremonies. Even the most ancient ceremony of worshipping the heaven can be easily destroyed."

Jiang Xinghuo took a look at the description and he preferred to call it a "trouble-making talisman", which was obviously a prop used by bad people to do good things.

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You are trying to analyze the recipe for this talisman."

"Analysis in progress..."

"Please wait……"

"The talisman formula has been analyzed successfully."

"You have obtained the formula for everything to go wrong."

"But because your attainments in talismans are too shallow, the success rate when making talismans is less than 20%."

"Note that the higher the color grade of the talisman paper used, the lower the success rate of the product."

Jiang Xinghuo put the talisman into his magic bag. As long as he could figure out the formula, he would be satisfied, because he didn't think there would be many opportunities to use this kind of prop.

After putting everything into the magic bag, Jiang Xinghuo continued to explore deeper into the cave.

"Exploring the cave..."

"On your way forward, you found some scattered mural fragments, which you collected and pieced together into an incomplete mural."

"Through your observation, you found that the content on the mural is very interesting. It seems to record the origin of the tidal law that Mr. Huang He possesses."

"The murals record that Master Huang He came here to find a way to control the floods. However, by chance, he met an old man who lived in seclusion here. The old man claimed to be the master of the old world. He did not want to get involved in the disputes of the secular world, so he lived in seclusion here. Master Huang He was accepted as a disciple by the old man. Not only did he receive the old man's guidance and gifts, he also took control of the authority of the tidal law and an ancient mask... The rest is incomplete."

"Unfortunately, you didn't see the subsequent content. The broken mural only records this information."

"As for what happened afterwards, it is currently unknown. Perhaps you can try to find new fragments of the mural."

"The cave is still being explored..."

"You walked to the end of the cave, but unfortunately, you didn't find any new murals. Occasionally you picked up some painted fragments, but they were all useless."

"What are you going to do now?"

"Do you plan to leave this cave and explore other places? Or do you insist on staying in the cave and continue looking for mural fragments?"

Two options, one to leave, one to continue.

Jiang Xinghuo thought for a moment and decided to continue exploring the cave. He didn't believe that there would be no new fragments.
