My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 344 Clan Mansion

After Jiang Xinghuo made up his mind, he clicked on the teleportation shrine and arrived outside the gate of Peking.

"You have arrived in Beiping City."

"What are your plans next?"

"Will you go directly to the Zongrenfu to explore? Or will you go to other places first?"

"Beiping is the most prosperous and bustling city in the world. Although it is almost midnight, the atmosphere of life in the city is getting stronger and stronger."

"Perhaps, you can enjoy the nightlife of Beiping City and relax your nervous heart."

When Jiang Xinghuo read the description in the text, he thought that since he was already here, there was no need to rush to explore the clan house.

Let's take a walk around the city of Peking first to see if there are any other gains or discoveries.

"You chose to wander around the city of Beiping."

"You come to the brightly lit Luoguxiang, listening to the gossips of the people passing by, and you feel more relaxed than ever before."

"You wandered around in a hurry..."

"You saw an old, gossipy woman among the citizens of Beijing who were watching the excitement. She was gossiping with people."

"Would you like to stop and listen to what it has to say?"

Jiang Xinghuo's heart moved, he tapped the screen with his finger and selected the yes option.

Jiang Xinghuo had encountered the gossip-monster before. She was a very weak monster who just liked to watch the fun and gossip.

However, these gossips often reveal some hidden clues to the plot missions while gossiping.

Let's just listen to what it says first. If there is a mission, that would be the best. If not, it's just a waste of time.

"You stopped beside this gossipy woman, and a lot of people gathered around her, listening to her gossiping."

"The gossiper saw more and more people gathered around her, and her face showed excitement. Instead of stopping, she talked more and more excitedly, and her words were full of ridicule and mockery of those old people from the previous dynasty."

"It is said that on the night of Dawn, I saw with my own eyes a real dragon being frightened to the point of kneeling down and begging for mercy. He handed over everything he had on him, just to beg for his life."

"But in the end, the real dragon son did not survive. Instead, he died in torture, and even his blood was drained."

"Some people laugh at it because it is so strong that it is not afraid of its tongue being bitten by the wind. It dares to say anything nonsense and is not afraid of those old people and young people coming to trouble it."

"The gossip woman immediately got angry and started arguing with those people, saying that she saw it with her own eyes, but no one took her seriously and instead caused everyone to burst into laughter. The gossip woman had no choice but to leave the crowd in dismay."

"Do you want to follow and ask carefully? Maybe you will get some unexpected results."

Jiang Xinghuo did not choose to refuse. The clues were all delivered to his doorstep, so there was no reason to reject them.

"You chose to follow her, and when you came to a remote and deserted alley, you stepped forward to stop this gossipy woman."

"You had a friendly negotiation with the other party and learned some old secrets from the gossipy woman whose front teeth were knocked out."

"On the night of dawn, thirteen ancient masters joined forces to attack the Forbidden City, causing the entire Peking to fall into flames of war."

"The gossip girl was still very young at the time, and she hid in fear, fearing that she would be killed by someone."

"And the place where it hid was not far from the clan residence. It witnessed with its own eyes the descendants of the Lord of the World being robbed and killed by the disciples of King Taiping. All the blood on their bodies was drained." "You asked the gossipy woman about the place where the descendants of the Lord of the World were killed. Combined with what you saw and heard before, you got a key piece of information."

"You have obtained the clue of where the dragon heir fell."

"Do you want to go to this place immediately?"

Tsk, Jiang Xinghuo thought that he was lucky. According to the description in the game text, the place where the true dragon descendant fell was not far from the clan residence. It was very likely that he was a disciple of the clan residence, and there might be some clues left on him.

"You have come to the place the gossip woman mentioned. Do you want to dig out the buried body according to the location pointed out by the clues?"

"You chose to dig up the body, but to your surprise, there seemed to be some problems with the burial ground. Your evil star bite couldn't dig it at all. What will you do next?"

"Are you going to use force to smash the ground, or find a suitable tool?"

Jiang Xinghuo was speechless, thinking that if he forcibly blasted the ground, the noise would be too loud, and might even cause damage to the corpse. It would be better to find a suitable weapon, after all, everyone has their own expertise.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo opened his magic bag, rummaged through it, found the Cloud Piercing Cone, and then clicked to use it.

"You used the Cloud Piercing Cone."

"You dug up a body from the burial ground outside the clan residence."

"You have obtained the body of the dead dragon."

"Because this corpse is the offspring of the Lord of the World, and was blessed by the Golden Law during his lifetime, his corpse will not decay even after death."

"You activated the Medical Knowledge of the Dead and found that the bones of this corpse were all broken. It seems that he had been tortured before he died."

"You have triggered the talent of treasure-hunting eyes."

"You glanced at the dead dragon's body and found that there seemed to be something hidden in its stomach. It looked like a key. Do you want to take it out?"

The game text gave a hint, and Jiang Xinghuo would naturally not choose to refuse. Thanks to the treasure-hunting eye's ability to see through things, otherwise he would not have been able to find this thing.

But before cutting open the body, Jiang Xinghuo first went to the niche shop and bought a scalpel for 100 incense sticks.

If he didn't buy this scimitar, he would have to use the Shaxing Bite instead. He didn't want to use the Shaxing Bite for such a thing. Who knew if there was anything unclean in it.

"You cut open the dead dragon's abdomen and found a key and a scribbled hand-drawn map in the stomach."

"You have obtained the key to Hidden Dragon Pavilion."

"The Hidden Dragon Pavilion is a forbidden place in the clan government. Except for the chief clan leader, no one else can enter without permission. Even if you are the offspring of the secular lord, you will be severely punished if you casually step into it."

"Legend has it that there is a hermit living in the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, claiming to be an immortal man, but no one knows whether this is true or not."

Hidden Dragon Pavilion?
The ageless old man?

Jiang Xinghuo's eyes flickered slightly. Since it was a forbidden area, there must be important things in it. Maybe the Dragon Exploring Sutra that he wanted was in it.

As for the immortal old man, regardless of whether it really exists or not, he is not afraid even if it does. At most, he can just let Yinmu and Yunlong play with it.

Finally, Jiang Xinghuo looked at the hand-drawn map...
