My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 302: The House of Five Grains

"You have triggered the route map to the Yellow River Underground Palace."

"You followed the index on the map, crossed the stone bridge, avoided some dangerous traps, and came to a double fork in the road again."

"According to the markings on the route map, the path on the left leads to the lower level of the underground palace, which is where the mausoleum that Mr. Huang He designed for himself is located."

"The path on the right leads to an unknown place. Black fog permeates the narrow path and has never dissipated for thousands of years. It is suspected to be the remains of the old world that sank underground."

"Master Huang He once explored deep into the area, but after walking for a long time, he still couldn't find the end of the road. He had no choice but to leave a stone tablet to warn future generations not to enter this place without permission."

"Which path are you going to choose to explore now?"

"Will you take the path on the left that leads to the resting place of the Yellow River Lord? Or will you take the path on the right that leads to the unknown?"

Two choices, left or right.

Jiang Xinghuo thought for a moment and decided to explore the road on the right first to see if he could find anything. It would be best if he could gain something, but if not, it didn't matter.

"You took the path on the right."

"I have to say that you are a natural adventurer and explorer. Your desire for knowledge and curiosity about the unknown are enough to give you the potential to travel every inch of the world."

"Now, I just hope your luck can be as good as your curiosity, otherwise you will only end up dead."

“You went down that path.”

"In-depth exploration..."

"Black smoke filled the air all around, and it was pitch dark. Even the light from the Yellow Springs Lamp could only illuminate an area of ​​two to three meters in front of us."

"You've discovered something..."

"You feel like you kicked something, but you can't see it clearly because of the black fog. Do you want to squat down and take a closer look?"

"You chose to squat and check."

"The light of the Yellow Spring Lamp temporarily dispelled the black fog, and you found a hideous-looking corpse on the side of the path."

"You have triggered the Great View of Medical Knowledge."

"You found that the skin on the surface of this corpse had completely fallen off, revealing bright red muscle texture and light yellow subcutaneous fat, and there was also a large amount of radioactive nuclear material remaining."

"But it is precisely because of these radioactive substances that the microorganisms and bacteria on the surface of the corpse have been killed, allowing the corpse to be preserved intact until now."

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo already had some guesses about the identity of the corpse.

The game text that popped up on the phone next further confirmed that his previous guess was correct.

"You have discovered the remains of the deceased Great Immortal."

Jiang Xinghuo sighed a few times. He thought that this great immortal would die in the tomb of Mr. Huang He, but he didn't expect that he died here.

"What are you going to do with this body?"

"The radioactive substances remaining in the Great Immortal's body have reached a terrifying level. Ordinary people will suffer from serious radioactive contamination even if they are close to him for a moment."

"So what will you choose next?"

"Do you plan to take some time to properly dispose of this body? Or do you plan to wait for a long time and let it be devoured by microorganisms and bacteria?" There are two options: either let it go or dispose of it properly.

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it briefly and finally chose the former and properly dealt with the body of the immortal.

It doesn't take much effort anyway, what if it triggers a new task?

"You chose to bury the body of the Great Immortal."

"But before that, you went to the coffin shop and ordered a heavy lead coffin."

"You buried the body of the Great Immortal in it. After making sure there would be no leakage, you buried it deep underground in the tiankeng with confidence."

"You collected the remains of the Great Immortal, and in return, you also obtained the relics that he left behind."

"You have obtained the blessing of the Great Immortal (status)."

"The Great Immortal's blessing (permanent state) will make it easier for you to gain the favor of those immortals outside the Great Wall, and you can also use them to do things within their ability."

Jiang Xinghuo's eyes lit up. The effect of this buff looked good, but he didn't know if it would work on the Huang family immortals.

"You continue to explore further..."

"You have triggered the talent of the Yellow Spring Lantern."

"Under the dim light, you found some strange traces that extend to the small fork next to it. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Hmm? Any new discoveries?
Jiang Xinghuo didn't hesitate at all and immediately clicked on the screen, choosing to go over and take a look.

"Based on the strange traces on the ground, you found an abandoned Grain Reincarnation House in a small fork in the road."

"You have discovered the Grain Reincarnation House."

"In ancient times, there was a strange man in the secular world who called himself the Lord of the Five Grains Reincarnation. He controlled the dirty and filthy power. Because of his special methods, many masters in the secular world were afraid of him."

"This Five Grains Samsara House is its creation, and it is also the place where believers of the Five Grains Samsara practice. Do you want to go in and find out?"

Jiang Xinghuo took a look at the text and thought to himself that this Lord of the Five Grains Reincarnation is a ruthless person. If he is not afraid of playing with shit, what else can he be afraid of?
Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but shudder. He now just hoped that there was no such ruthless character in reality, and even if there was, he would never let himself meet him.

It’s so scary! !
However, the Grain Reincarnation House in the game has been abandoned, so there shouldn’t be any problem, right?

Jiang Xinghuo hesitated for a long time, but finally chose to go in. Since he was already here, he couldn't just pass by like that.

“You choose to go in and explore.”

"You pushed the door open and entered. A foul odor rushed towards you. You were unable to dodge and the foul poisonous gas instantly invaded your heart. You died."

"You can choose some scented silk scarves and wear them on your face. Perhaps they can ward off the invasion of those foul and poisonous gases."

Jiang Xinghuo was speechless. He took out some dog food and resurrected himself next to the shrine. Then he went to the shrine shop again.

"You browsed around the teahouse's trading niche and found an item called an aromatherapy sac, which is just what you need now."

"Aromatherapy medicine bag (common item), the eldest disciple of Qihuang Medical Immortal, Danyang Patriarch, has raised a large number of medicine-smoked ghosts. Because they are soaked in the fragrance of herbs all year round, their bodies have a strange fragrance. Peeling their skin to make scent bags can emit a strong medicinal fragrance. It not only has the effect of refreshing the mind, but also can isolate abnormal smells from the outside world. Duration: 24 hours."

After reading the description of the prop, Jiang Xinghuo bought it immediately without thinking too much, and then he dared to go to the Five Grains Reincarnation House again.
