My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 312: Ghost Hall

"You handed over the materials for painting the robe."

"The Great Spiritual Officer took the things in your hand and began to repair the statue. The dilapidated statue of the Spiritual Officer soon regained its former glory."

"You have received the gift from the Great Spiritual Officer."

"The Great Spiritual Officer, born from the gods and demons in the Taoist incense, is born with the supreme power to subdue demons and monsters."

"However, since the incense of this ghost-suppressing temple has been cut off, the power of the Great Spiritual Officer is gradually declining. Even if he re-hangs his robe and restores his former spiritual power, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for long."

"So, the Great Spirit Officer hopes that you can do him a favor and go to the Ghost Hall west of Guandong City to retrieve the talisman stored in the hall to suppress the many evil spirits sealed in the temple."

"Are you willing to help?"

It seems that this is the subsequent mission plot. Jiang Xinghuo did not choose to refuse. Anyway, his destination is the Kanto region, so he completed this mission by the way.

Moreover, this Haunted Hall should be a new map that has not been opened.

When he was exploring Kanto Castle, he unlocked a lot of maps, but there was definitely no option for the Ghost Hall.

He was absolutely sure of that.

"You accepted the request of the Great Spiritual Officer and received his gift. Just consider it as an advance payment."

"You have obtained the Thunder Fire Whip."

"Thunderfire Whip (Excellent Item), a long whip forged by the Great Spiritual Officer using thunder and fire. It contains the power of thunder and fire to subdue demons and has the ability to summon ghosts and communicate with the underworld. Perhaps it can be of some help to you."

Jiang Xinghuo put away the thunder and fire whip, waited in the temple until dawn, and then got up and continued on his journey.

Two days later at noon, a prompt message came from the game.

"You have arrived, Kanto Castle."

"What are you going to do next?"

"Will you go to the Ghost Hall to look for the talisman that the Great Spirit Officer mentioned, or will you go somewhere else first?"

"You choose to go to the Ghost Hall."

"You have learned some information about the Ghost Hall from the gossip of the citizens passing by, and have a preliminary understanding of the situation of the Ghost Hall."

"During the time when the Lord of the Secular World ruled, there was an iron-faced judge in Guandong City. It was said that he was born with the ability to see the underworld. He judged human affairs during the day and heard cases in the underworld at night. No matter how vicious the ghost was, as long as it entered the government office, it would be like a frightened bird, terrified and uneasy."

"But since the death of the Lord of the Secular World, the world has been in chaos, people's hearts have changed, demons and ghosts are rampant, and the ghost of the iron-faced and upright person has returned to the world of the living and occupied this Ghost Hall again."

"If you want to go in and explore, it's best to sneak in quietly at night when no one is around, so as not to attract the attention of that iron-faced justice."

Wait until night?

Seeing the prompt in the game text, Jiang Xinghuo wondered if it was necessary. He would go over and take a look first. If it worked, he would go in directly. If not, he would wait and see.

"You went to the Haunted Hall."

"On the way..."

"Please wait……"

"You have arrived at the Haunted Hall."

"You stand outside the lobby and look inside through the doors and windows. You see that there is no one inside, not even a guard. It seems like a good opportunity to go in and explore. Do you want to go in right away?"

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo understood that there must be something fishy going on, waiting for him to fall into the trap.

The key is not to jump. If there is really no one in the Ghost Hall today, if I don’t go in, I will miss this good opportunity in vain.

Of course, according to the nature of this game, you may die as soon as you enter it.

"You took advantage of the fact that no one was outside and quietly entered the Ghost Hall. Just as you were about to explore the hall, you heard the sound of the injustice drum behind you. Under the plaque hanging high above, a figure in a python robe and jade belt sat majestically."

"Before you even opened your mouth to say anything, you were tied up by the guards on both sides and sent to the guillotine nearby."

“Crack!” “Blood splattered everywhere, and the head fell to the ground.”

"You are dead."

Jiang Xinghuo was no longer surprised to see the death prompt message and had already made full mental preparation.

He simply took out some dog food and resurrected next to the shrine in Kanto Castle. He was not a rebellious child, so he knew it wouldn't work and was too lazy to go and die again. He was just planning to stroll somewhere else when a new text popped up.

"Dog-head guillotine, one of the three guillotines in the sky."

"These are the three imperial guillotines bestowed by the emperor when the lord of the secular world was still incompetent. They are divided into three paths: dragon, tiger and dog."

"According to folk legend, these three guillotines each have their own abilities and uses. They execute first and report later. They are lawless and ruthless. They are specially authorized by the emperor."

"The dragon-head guillotine can be used to behead the descendants of the emperor and his relatives; the tiger-head guillotine can be used to behead corrupt officials and treacherous ministers who bring disaster to the country; the dog-head guillotine can be used to behead local tyrants, evil gentry, and bullies."

"Now, you died under the dog-head guillotine, but before you died, you stole a trace of the power of law."

"However, this trace of law power is too weak, almost non-existent, and it is difficult to manifest in your body."

Jiang Xinghuo was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect that after dying once, he would encounter such an adventure.

Okay, now I have something to do.

Jiang Xinghuo didn't go anywhere else, but went directly to the teahouse niche, rummaged through the niche, and made more than ten pieces of dry dog ​​food.

Then, he brought the dog food and returned to the Ghost Hall again. Without any disguise, he walked in with a swagger.

Needless to say, the result was extremely quick and easy, and he died under the guillotine.

"You are dead."

"You have stolen a trace of the power of law."

…………

"You are dead."

"You have stolen a trace of the power of law."

…………

"You are dead."

"You have stolen a trace of the power of law."

…………

Such game text information appeared repeatedly for more than fifty times. Jiang Xinghuo also went to the shrine several times in a row to buy raw materials for making dog food, spending a lot of money.

It wasn't until around seven o'clock in the evening that the monotonous game text finally changed.

"You are dead."

"You have stolen a trace of the power of law."

"The fragments of the unknown law in your body have reached their limit. Do you want to fuse them together so that they can be truly melted and formed in your body?"

Finally appeared!!!
Excited heart, shaking hands!

He did almost nothing this afternoon except seeking death in various ways. I guess the guillotine must have been blunted by his neck.

"You choose to integrate the fragments of the law within your body."

"Please wait……"

"The law fragments are being integrated."

When the message popped up on the phone, Jiang Xinghuo felt his head buzzing and the world in front of him began to change, fading away all colors, leaving only pure black and white.
