My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 30 The Old Man in the Mountain
In the folk shop, it was still raining heavily outside.

Jiang Xinghuo returned to the store, took out his mobile phone, opened the game, and controlled the character to come to Fuchun Teahouse.

"You came to Fuchun Teahouse."

"Stories and operas persuade people, the three main roads are in the middle, people come from all directions, not to pay for the show, but to attract people."

"Exile, you walked into the lobby of Fuchun Teahouse again. The storyteller was talking on the high platform, and the audience below was cheering enthusiastically."

"Are you here today to show your support? Or to show your support for money?"

There are two choices: you can get it for free if you support others, or you can pay money if you support others.

"Exile, you chose to support the money."

"You gave the storyteller 50 incense sticks."

"The storyteller thanked the breadwinner for his presence, and hurried over from the stage to salute him, and asked if there was anything he could do for you."

A text input box popped up automatically. Jiang Xinghuo clicked the screen and typed the words "Old Man in the Mountain".

This was the information he got from Lin Tianshou.

At that time, Lin Tianshou talked about some history before the emergence of games
But when Jiang Xinghuo wanted to continue asking questions, Lin Tianshou said no more and just reminded him to be more careful next time.

And offered him the title of 'Old Man of the Mountain'.

According to the records in the Public Opinion Bureau's database, the murderer who killed the three players was most likely a member of an ancient assassin organization.

The leader of that organization is called the 'Old Man in the Mountain', and he is also a well-known figure in the folk world.

After a while, the game text responded.

"You stated your needs."

"You want information about the 'Old Man of the Mountain.'"

"The storyteller's 'Golden Box Collection' has been activated."

"Keyword automatic recognition..."

"Please wait……"

"Keywords found..."

"The storyteller found relevant content about 'The Old Man in the Mountain' in the ancient documents stored in the Golden Box and is reading it for you..."

Seeing the game information popping up on the screen, Jiang Xinghuo thought it was quite interesting, so out of curiosity, he clicked on the "Golden Chamber Collection" text to see what the new tricks were.

"The Golden Box Collection (rare item) is the treasure of the storyteller lineage. All storytellers in the world can store the documents and experiences they have read in the sealed golden box. When needed, it can automatically read the keywords and obtain relevant information.

"Unlocking conditions: Only by joining the storyteller's faction can you obtain the authority to open the golden box."

Seeing the introduction of Jinkui, Jiang Xinghuo's eyes lit up. This is a good thing. It is equivalent to a shared cloud disk. People can share what they have with each other. It must hide many unknown secrets.

But unfortunately, only by joining the storyteller's organization can one obtain the authority to open the Golden Box. He currently has no intention of joining any force, so he can only give up.

Jiang Xinghuo was sighing when the storyteller had already fed back the information.

"The information of the old man in the mountain has been read."

"In ancient times, there was an assassin organization with a long history in the secular world. It is rumored that there are countless legendary killers in this organization. They are spread across every corner of the world, and there is no one they cannot kill."

"But few people know that they are actually a secret organization born from the inner court of the palace, specializing in killing dissidents for the royal family."

"Some call them the Guillotines, some call them the Hassassins, and some call them the Black Brotherhood."

"The Old Man in the Mountain is one of the founders of this organization."

"On the night of dawn, the ancient king was besieged and fell. This organization also met its doom and was wiped out by many masters. Only a few elders managed to escape and have since disappeared without a trace."

Looking at the information given by the storyteller, Jiang Xinghuo was a little confused. If it was really this organization that was behind this, why would they do this?
After thinking for a long time, Jiang Xinghuo still had no clue, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

As an ordinary citizen, he has nothing to worry about. If the sky falls, there will be others to support it. The Public Opinion Survey Bureau and those officials are not here for free. They should worry about what they should worry about. Why should he waste his time on it?

The most important thing for him now is to continue exploring the game and improve his strength as soon as possible. Then no matter what monsters dare to cause trouble, he will just beat them to death with a stick.

Jiang Xinghuo let out a long sigh and continued playing the game.

"You have entered Funeral Street." "You avoided the evil zombies behind the thick fog, but you didn't expect to be attacked by the coffin maker. Two coffin nails were wedged directly into your head."

"You are dead."

Jiang Xinghuo activated the scapegoat and continued.

"Scapegoat (2/3)."

"You used a scapegoat to escape the disaster, and then you hit the coffin maker to death with a stick."

"You chose to touch the corpse."

"You have obtained three coffin nails (common items)."

"You continue walking down the mourning street."

"You dodged the evil creature that raised the dead, and avoided the dog with red eyes digging corpses, but you didn't pay attention to the road under your feet. You accidentally kicked over the brazier for burning paper, and the dead's ghosts lingered. You are cursed, and you are dead."

"Scapegoat (1/3)."

"You activated the scapegoat again, escaping from the curse of the wronged soul."

"Just keep going."

"You met a butcher whose wife had just died."

"You two bumped into each other, and it stabbed you, then sent your body to the wedding wine shop."

"Because it fell in love with the daughter of the wine shop owner, so it wanted to use you to please the boss and let him marry the daughter."

Tsk tsk, Jiang Xinghuo thought to himself, this is interesting, your wife just died and you immediately found another husband, how your wife died seems to be debatable.

In less than an hour, Jiang Xinghuo died several times, the scapegoat was used up, and the dog food was almost used up. Although he had a lot of harvest, they were all inconspicuous junk. There was nothing interesting, so he threw them directly into Tai Sui's magic bag.

"You walk on the streets of Dragon City."

"Yellow Spring Lantern talent, triggered."

"You found a beggar on the side of the road."

"It seems to be asking you for help. Do you want to go over and take a look?"

"You go up to the beggar."

"The beggar took out a letter from home and hoped that you could do him a favor and deliver it to Beiping City and give it to his elderly father at home."

"Do you want to accept this cause and effect?"

"You take this responsibility."

"You know the identity and origin of this beggar."

"He was originally a famous doctor in Beiping. He was born with a pair of divine eyes that could see through the subtle details of the human body. He had a very high reputation in the medical field of Beiping and was trusted by many wealthy and powerful people."

"But when you walk by the river, you'll get your shoes wet. This time, he was asked to see a doctor. For some unknown reason, after taking his medicine, the patient not only did not get better, but died, vomiting blood."

"It stood high and fell hard. The person who asked it to treat its illness was a powerful nobleman. When it failed, it angered the other party, who broke its legs and threw it on the street. No one was allowed to rescue it, and it was not allowed to leave Longcheng."

"The citizens of Longcheng were afraid of the power of that powerful nobleman and did not dare to help him bring letters back to Peking. It was not easy for me to meet you."

"I am grateful for your contribution and would like to give you the medical skills I have learned as a reward for your kindness."

"You have obtained, Rejuvenation (Excellent)."

"Miraculous Hands of Rejuvenation (Excellent Technique), a technique passed down by the King of Medicine in the past, is most suitable for practitioners. It has the ability to quickly heal internal injuries in a short period of time, and complements the Miraculous Hands of the Medical Forest."

"The two techniques can be integrated and upgraded. Do you want to upgrade?"

Wow, Jiang Xinghuo thought, there are quite a lot of tricks, so he chose to upgrade immediately.

"You have merged two spells and your spell upgrade has been successful."

"You have obtained the Art of Reviving Dead Trees (Rare)."

"The Art of Reviving Dead Trees (rare technique), one of the twelve unique skills of the Medicine King, was created specifically for his disciples to practice medicine and save the world. It can not only quickly treat various internal and external injuries, but when practiced to a high level, it can even make necrotic internal organs, bones, flesh, blood, and even cells regain new vitality."
