My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 316: Blessing from the Secret Keeper (34)

This god-binding talisman was found on the person who collected the pool. Its specific effect is just as described in the game text. It can be used to seal and suppress evil spirits.

Jiang Xinghuo took it out and took a look. He saw that the talisman paper was covered with cloud seals, but upon closer inspection, it was somewhat similar to an extremely complicated circuit diagram. The key point was that this talisman was a consumable item and it would be gone after being used once.

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You are trying to parse the corresponding production formula."

"Analyzing the formula..."

"Please wait……"

"Parse failed."

"This God Binding Talisman has been restricted by someone. No external force can analyze its principle, unless your strength exceeds that of the person who set the restriction, or the level of Tathagata is raised to a certain level."

Jiang Xinghuo was somewhat disappointed when he saw the information given in the game text, but since gaining it is luck and losing it is fate, there was nothing to be entangled about.

Jiang Xinghuo put the talisman paper into the magic bag, and planned to wait until the level of Tathagata Zang was upgraded before trying to analyze the production formula of the talisman paper.

Finally, there are two things left.

"The map of Chishiro Dojo (special item), can be used to discover and go to the map of the secret cave that Chishiro left behind in the secular world."

"According to folk tales, when Zhi Shilang was traveling around the secular world, he was particularly keen on building all kinds of strange and bizarre cave temples, which were almost everywhere in the secular world."

"But most of the caves and dojo are empty, with only some insignificant raw materials piled up inside at best."

"Some people say this is a prank by Zhi Shilang, while others say Zhi Shilang left behind a lot of treasures that no one has discovered yet. There are many different opinions and each one has its own merits."

"When you encounter a cave dojo on this map, it will automatically give you a prompt and guide you to find the secret realm."

Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows, flipped forward through the text records, and found the text description about Zhi Shilang.

"Zhishilang is an ancient and powerful person who existed in the ancient times of the secular world. He has mastered the all-knowing laws of Zhishi. He knows the past 500 years and the future 500 years, and is familiar with many strange stories and secret histories."

"However, because he knew too much, he aroused the fear of many masters in the secular world. He was surrounded and killed, and fled to the depths of the underworld. To this day, no one knows whether he is alive or dead."

Moreover, this knowledge of the world's laws is also the first kind of legal power that Jiang Xinghuo obtained after entering the game.

Jiang Xinghuo put the map into the magic bag. The value of this kind of prop that was related to the ancient boss could not be determined by the game rating.

So far, although the map-like props he has found are almost all of the most common rating, the value behind them is far beyond that of ordinary items.

Jiang Xinghuo has now finished counting all the harvest, leaving only the grave and funeral hall to be dealt with.

"Exile, do you want to open this hall now and release the souls of the secret-keeping believers?"

Jiang Xinghuo directly chose yes. The reason why he went to so much trouble to kill the monk and the pond collector was just to get this mourning hall and trigger the subsequent tasks.

"You chanted the Pool Collection Spell, hoping to unlock the shackles of the spirit hall and release the souls of the secret-keeping believers inside."

"But this mourning hall did not react at all, as if it had not received your order to close the pond at all."

Jiang Xinghuo was a little puzzled. Most of the mourning halls, graves, archways and memorial tablets in the secular world were special instruments used by the people of Shouchi in Guandong. As long as they recited the Shouchi spell, they could control the corresponding instruments freely. Why didn't it work now?

"Your magic power awakened the weak Secret Keeper, but its power was too weak to give you complete information. It only left three bloody words: Storyteller."

"You have obtained a new clue." Jiang Xinghuo scratched his head, wondering what this meant. Did he want him to go to the teahouse to ask the storyteller?

He felt that this should be the meaning. It couldn't be that he wanted to invite a storyteller to come and tell it a story, right?
"You came to the teahouse in Guandong City, found the storyteller, gave him some incense, and asked him about the believers who kept the secret."

"According to the storyteller, the source of power for these secret-keeping believers lies in the secrets they know and protect. The more secrets they know, the more secrets they can protect, and the stronger their power becomes."

"You can try to tell them some secrets unknown to the Secret Keeper believers. Perhaps you can help them recover their strength quickly and get rid of the imprisonment and seal of the Pool Collection Method."

Unknown secrets?
Jiang Xinghuo seemed thoughtful.

"You awakened the secret-keeping believer again and shared all your experiences in the other world with him."

"The secret-keeping believers learned a secret that was completely different from the secular world and received the blessing of the secret-keeping immortal, thus freeing themselves from the bondage of the pond-keeping law and regaining their freedom."

"You released the remaining souls of the secret-keeping believers, and also received the blessing of the secret-keeping immortal in the dark."

"It will be easier for you to obtain hidden mission plot clues during your future explorations."

"You unlocked the new Dragon City map..."

"You have unlocked the new Xishen City map..."

"You unlocked the new Peking map..."

"You have unlocked a new Maoshan map..."

"You unlocked..."

Game texts popped up continuously, and the phone vibrated every time a new message popped up.

Jiang Xinghuo took a quick look and found that all the newly unlocked sub-maps were large maps that he had explored before.

Longcheng, Xishen, Beiping, Guandong, Maoshan, Longmen...

"The remaining soul of the secret-keeping believer has appeared. It is very grateful for your kindness. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid it would never be able to break free from the shackles of the Shouchi Hall."

"You have obtained it, Shouchitang."

"Shouchi Hall (rare item), this is the most precious treasure of the Shouchi lineage. Legend has it that it is one of the thirteen mourning halls and tombs built by the Shouchi ancestor."

"There was a rumor in the secular world that the thirteen mourning halls of Patriarch Shouchi were cages specially prepared for the thirteen Dao masters. They hoped that one day, they could seal the residual souls of the thirteen Dao masters in them and allow them to be used at will."

"Later, for unknown reasons, these thirteen mourning halls were scattered in the secular world. By chance, they were obtained by a collector, who forcibly imprisoned the remaining souls of the secret-keeping believers in them."

"To express their gratitude, the secret-keeping believers left you a colored box. You can use the power of this colored box to decipher some of the secrets of the secular world."

"You have obtained the Secret Keeper's Color Box."

"Current remaining times: 0/10."

"After leaving the colored box, the remaining soul of the secret-keeping believer said goodbye to you. It wanted to find a safe place to regroup its body. It hopes to have a chance to meet you again. The information you have about other worlds also fascinated it."

"If you have a chance to meet again, it will definitely give you a new surprise."
