My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 309: The Past of Mr. Huang He
Jiang Xinghuo rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had seen it wrong. He never imagined that there were more than ten thousand wishes in this wishing cauldron.

This number is a bit too outrageous. If I want to realize all these wishes, I'm afraid I will have nothing to do in the future.

Fortunately, he didn't need to do this. The game text made it very clear that all it needed to cast a Dharma image was a wisp of the Kitchen God's fire, which meant fulfilling one hundred wishes.

But you definitely cannot refuse. If you miss this opportunity, it is hard to know whether you can find the Kitchen God's anger in the future.

"Inside the prayer cauldron, the charcoal is burning, the firewood is blazing, like a spreading root system, extending the power of countless people's wishes."

"You have successfully opened the Prayer Cauldron."

A prompt message came from the game, and Jiang Xinghuo noticed that there was a new option for praying in the menu bar below.

Click to take a look.

More than ten thousand wishes appeared before my eyes, all kinds of strange and bizarre wishes.

Some pray for wealth and prosperity, some pray for good health, and some hope to live forever...

The key point is that only by kneeling and praying devoutly can the wish be received into the cauldron. In other words, the other party is not talking nonsense, but really wants to ask for immortality.

This is simply an outrageous opening to outrageous things. It's really outrageous to the extreme.

At this time, the game text has undergone new changes.

"You have activated the item transfer function."

"You can use this function to transmit what the person who is praying needs to it through the air."

"Note that this function can also transport some items in the real world to the folk world, but it is limited to inanimate objects."

When Jiang Xinghuo saw the last text prompt, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The mechanism of this game was mentioned very early on. Items can only be circulated in one direction. Props from the secular world can be brought into the real world, but things in the real world cannot be brought into the secular world.

Jiang Xinghuo did an experiment when he first got the magic bag. He put a glass into the magic bag and wanted to bring it into the game world.

But it simply didn't work. I didn't expect that the teleportation function of this Wishing Cauldron could actually do this. There's no telling when it might come in handy.

Jiang Xinghuo swiped the screen lightly, looking at the various weird wishes on it, preparing to choose a few suitable ones to practice with.

…………

"Beiping City, Chaoyang Street No. 81, a family's door god sneaked away at night. Without the door god to protect the house, it is easy to attract evil spirits, which makes it restless."

"It hopes that the Kitchen God can give it another item to protect the house, or tell it how to catch the escaped door god."

…………

"Beiping City, No. 13, Piku Hutong. We have been married for many years but have no children, which is a lifelong regret."

"They hope that the Kitchen God can give them a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, to fulfill their long-cherished wish of having both a son and a daughter."

…………

"Thirteen miles outside of Peking City, in Shifo Village, there is a suspected demon haunting the place. Children often disappear for no apparent reason. No one can find the person alive, and no one can find the body after death."

"The villagers hope that the Kitchen God will show up, give them guidance, kill the evil spirits, and save them from the dire straits."

…………

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the various wishes given, and there weren't many that he could solve right away, except for the one about having a child. He simply chose this one and tried out the market first.

"You took out the water veins of the Children's River."

"Children River Water Vein (Excellent Item), the portable magical instrument of the Goddess of Childbirth, is a collection of the essence of the heaven, earth, sun and moon, presenting a fusion of yin and yang, and has the magical effect of nurturing and preserving life. If a woman drinks it, she will definitely give birth to a boy, and if a man drinks it, he will definitely give birth to a girl." (Chapter 152)
"You activated the transmission function, bottled the water from the Children's River, gave it to the praying couple, and told them how to use it."

"You have fulfilled your wish for a child."

"Currently saved wishes: 15391."

"Current remaining willpower: 1/100."

Text prompt messages popped up in the game one after another. Jiang Xinghuo nodded with satisfaction, thinking that it was a good start and he could just take his time with the rest.

The top priority now is to explore the Yellow River Underground Palace. Three days have passed and the news will be spread in four days.

At that time, there might be a large number of game players flocking in, and he doesn't want to be attacked by the crowd.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo directly clicked on the shrine map, found the option of the Yellow River Underground Palace, and teleported back.

"You have returned to the Yellow River Underground Palace."

"You easily avoided the numerous traps and came to the resting place of Master Huanghe. There was no change in the tomb."

"You copied down all the words on the wall, and then activated the innate ability of the Wensheng Inkstone."

"Under the magical effect of this item, the ancient totem characters from the nomadic people began to be constantly recompiled, and soon evolved into characters that you can recognize and understand..."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the deciphered text in his hand, which recorded the content of the text in detail.

To put it simply, it is the epitaph that Mr. Yellow River left for himself, recording his life and experiences.

According to what was left behind by the Yellow River Lord, this underground palace is located between the Yellow River and the remains of the old secular world. It is an important hub connecting the two worlds, and many places are closely related to the old secular world.

When he was young, he discovered this place by accident and met his mentor, the master of Taoism from the previous secular era.

At first, Uncle Huang He thought that the teacher was really as he said, tired of the disputes and fighting in the secular world, so he lived in seclusion here.

But later, Mr. Huang He discovered the other party's conspiracy. The old guy was not hiding here because he was tired of the struggles in the secular world, but because he was afraid of the golden law of this new world.

They are the remnants that survived the previous era and are excluded by this new era. If they dare to show up in the secular world, they will be wiped out by the Golden Law at the first moment.

Therefore, the old man came up with a weird idea, which was to be reborn by borrowing another's body. Because of this, the old man passed on all his skills to Mr. Yellow River.

Speaking of this, the name of Yellow River Uncle has changed three times, from the old teacher in the beginning, to the old guy later, and then to the old bangzi now.

After reading this page, Jiang Xinghuo turned to the next page and continued reading. Uncle Huang He was still chattering.

He emphasized how wise and brave he was and how he cleverly discovered the other party's conspiracy.

Then how he beat up the old man, sealed him in a black coffin, and threw him into the underground ruins of the old world...

Finally, Mr. Huang He left him something, saying that it was inside the coffin in the tomb.

"You have obtained..."
