My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 343: Awakening and Concentrating the Mind

"You touched nothing."

"The body was surprisingly clean, without any extra stuff."

"Because you were in close contact with the corpse, the protective measures on your body were damaged and your body was seriously contaminated with mercury."

"You are dead."

"But before you died, you used your innate ability of Tathagata to discover the Silver Mother Goddess that the other party had imprisoned on him."

Jiang Xinghuo was somewhat surprised when he saw the description of the game text. He thought he could get some good things from this Mercury Immortal, but he didn't expect him to die so quickly.

There is also the so-called Silver Mother Goddess.

What on earth is it?
Jiang Xinghuo was feeling confused when he saw new game text pop up on the phone screen.

"You have triggered the Golden Casket Collection of Books."

"You want to know about the 'Silver Mother Goddess'."

"The storyteller's golden collection of books has been activated."

"Keyword automatic recognition..."

"Please wait……"

"Keywords found."

"Your reading privileges have been upgraded. Higher-level materials are now available to you. The corresponding entry information is being recompiled for you."

"Please wait……"

"Reading permissions for you..."

"Reading completed..."

"You found information about the Silver Mother Goddess in the ancient documents stored in the Golden Casket."

"According to folk legends, in the empty land beyond the secular world, there are countless fairy islands wandering around, where many ancient monsters and demons live, including some races left over from the previous era."

"If someone can get in, they will have the opportunity to capture those monsters, suppress them for their own use, and perfectly master their power."

"Silver Mother is one of those powerful ghosts and gods. It is a demon born in the mercury vein and has the ability to control and use mercury."

"You can try to release the Silver Mother from Mercury Fairy's body, and then suppress it in your body with the God Binding Talisman. If you are lucky, you may be able to use it for your own benefit."

"Do you want to dive into Zhenmu Cave again?"

Jiang Xinghuo naturally would not choose to refuse. He was worried that this kind of problem would occur, so he bought several sets of protective clothing. Now one set is damaged, and the remaining ones should be enough.

If that doesn't work, the worst that can happen is I can just buy a few more. If I can really suppress the Silver Mother, even if I buy another hundred sets of protective clothing, it will be a sure profit.

But before that, Jiang Xinghuo went to the shrine shop first, spent 2000 incense sticks to buy a piece of black talisman paper and made a high-quality god-binding talisman.

Then he restarted the game.

"You equipped yourself with protective gear, sneaked into the secret room of Zhenmu Cave again, and tore off the talisman left on you by the Mercury Immortal."

"At the same time, a huge wave broke out in the narrow secret room, and the body of the Mercury Immortal instantly turned into powder and dissolved in the water."

"A huge monster covered with white hair appears in front of you, roaring. Do you want to use the 'God-Binding Talisman' to suppress it immediately?" Jiang Xinghuo quickly chose yes.

"You took out the soul-binding talisman drawn on the black talisman paper, and while this huge creature is still not fully awake, stick the talisman on the divine orifice between Silver Mother's eyebrows."

"You have successfully captured the Silver Mother Goddess."

"Do you want to suppress it in the acupoints in your body?"

Jiang Xinghuo took a look at the game text and began to wonder what impact suppressing the Silver Mother Goddess would have on him.

But I think there shouldn't be any big problem, otherwise the Mercury Immortal would not have kept it for his own use. Taking a step back, even if it really does harm to me, I can just tear off the God-Binding Talisman and let it go.

"You chose to suppress it within the acupoints in your body."

"It is said in the Taoist scriptures that those who have seven orifices are all waiting to die."

"So if you want to prolong your life, you must open up the acupuncture points in your body to absorb energy from the outside world to make up for your own lost vitality."

"You have received gifts from Master Jindan and practiced his unique Dragon and Tiger Pill Method. The twelve meridians of your hands and feet and the two Ren and Du meridians have been connected, and more than a hundred acupoints have been opened."

"The secrets of the various schools in the world will no longer be a hindrance to you. As long as you know the route of the magic power, you can use it as easily as if it were your own arm. It is no problem to restrain this Silver Mother Goddess."

"However, although the orifices of the human body are as numerous as the stars in the sky, there is only one main orifice for each meridian. You can choose one of them as the place for the Silver Mother Goddess to stay."

Then, the game lists the meridian acupoints that can be selected.

Jiang Xinghuo took a quick look and found that there are twelve main meridians in the human body, plus eight extraordinary meridians, which add up to exactly twenty main acupoints.

After a brief thought, Jiang Xinghuo had already made a choice in his heart. He decided to imprison this evil Silver Mother on the acupoint of the Ren meridian in front of his body.

"You have successfully imprisoned the Silver Mother Goddess within her acupoint."

The game text popped up a prompt message that the detention was successful. In reality, Jiang Xinghuo felt the Tanzhong point on his chest vibrate like thunder, and there was a terrifying roar.

Jiang Xinghuo sank his mind into the acupoint and saw a huge monster with a hideous appearance, which was suppressed inside by the God-binding Talisman, containing extremely terrifying power.

However, Jiang Xinghuo was not thinking about how powerful this evil spirit was, but the remaining nineteen empty acupoints.

Theoretically speaking, since I can confine the Silver Mother Goddess within the acupoint, does it mean that the remaining dozen or so acupoints can also accommodate the same monsters?

If this speculation comes true, Jiang Xinghuo's strength will be qualitatively improved. Even if there is no way to build a Dharma image, if twenty powerful monsters attack at the same time, I am afraid that few people can stop him.

Of course, this is just a possibility based on theoretical inference, and it is still unknown whether this goal can be achieved.

But no matter what, this incident provided him with an idea, and in the process of exploration, he could gradually verify his ideas and guesses.

If he were to meet that White Lotus Buddhist disciple again now, Jiang Xinghuo believed that he would definitely give him a big surprise.

So far, the most valuable things in Zhenmu Cave have been taken into Jiang Xinghuo's body, and there is nothing more to explore afterwards.

"Where are you planning to go next?"

The game text popped up several options for plot interaction, all of which were clues to the new maps he had discovered during this period.

As long as you choose to go there, you can unlock the new map without any effort.

Jiang Xinghuo thought for a moment and decided to explore the Imperial Clan House in Beiping first. Otherwise, he would always feel like something was on his mind and would be busy and upset.
