My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 352 Dead?

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the description of the game text and thought that he had made a fortune this time. The rewards given to him by the Dragon King started out as rare-level items, and there was no low-level stuff at all.

It was also thanks to the fact that he did not get greedy and buried the dragon's corpse. Otherwise, he would not have been able to obtain these benefits. He might even have been put on the Dragon King's blacklist and hunted down by all the dragons, monsters and demons in the world.

Jiang Xinghuo put the dragon scale armor into his magic bag and looked at the remaining props, wondering what kind of surprises they would bring him.

"Life-extending Talisman (consumable item). Legend has it that in ancient times, a Taoist master fell into the netherworld and accidentally glimpsed the secret of life and death. He then painstakingly studied for many years and developed this magical talisman."

"No matter how serious the injury is, as long as there is still a breath left, this talisman can save the person."

Jiang Xinghuo took out the talisman and took a look at it. The black paper, golden talisman, and cinnabar seal, even the materials used to draw the talisman were all top-grade goods.

This is something that can save lives at a critical moment. Jiang Xinghuo didn't dare to put it anywhere and put it away carefully.

As the old saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry. You never know when bad luck strikes, and this thing may happen to you.

In short, you can never go wrong with caution.

"A map leading to Ghost Lake (special item). Ghost Lake is a special place in the secular world, independent of the Yin and Yang worlds. It contains countless dangers and secrets. The Great Dragon King once tried to explore it, but he almost died there."

"Perhaps, only you and your race, who are cursed with exile, can use the bug feature of being rejected by death to explore the ghost lake."

"This map can guide you to find the path to Ghost Lake, but no one can guarantee that you can actually enter it. Even if the Great Dragon King goes there again, he cannot guarantee that he can successfully enter it."

"Do you want to activate this map immediately, find the path to Ghost Lake, and enter it to explore?"

Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a while and chose no for the time being. He had a lot of maps waiting to be developed, and he had also found the Disaster Dragon's Reverse Scale. It was time to put the matter of forging a Dharma image on the agenda.

For maps like these that are obviously full of traps, it’s better to wait until your strength improves before going there, otherwise it would be a waste of dog food.

Finally, Jiang Xinghuo looked at the rotten oar and guessed that the origin of this prop was somewhat related to the ghost lake.

"Rotten Paddle (Special Item), a rotten wooden paddle that the Great Dragon King picked up from the shore of Ghost Lake Ferry. Although it looks inconspicuous, it is extremely hard and difficult to destroy by external force. Its specific usage is still unclear."

as predicted.

This oar was picked up on the shore of Ghost Lake. The game text did not give any specific usage, so Jiang Xinghuo had to put it away for the time being.

It’s not that he doesn’t care about this matter, the key is that there is no point in being anxious. Before going to Ghost Lake to explore, there is probably no room for maneuver.

So far, all the gift package rewards given to him by the Dragon King have been counted. He has learned the skills he should learn and put away what he should put away.

I also unexpectedly obtained a new map to be developed.

This is the most valuable gain.

There are too many secrets hidden in the secular world. If you want to dig out those secrets, you can only obtain them by completing various missions.

If you can't find tasks and plots that can be triggered, the progress of the game will be greatly affected.

Jiang Xinghuo found the reverse scale from his magic bag. Not many materials were needed to cast the Dharma image, and he had already collected them all: the reverse scale of the disaster dragon, the fire of the Kitchen God, the horned dragon ball, the soil of Guanyin, and the only thing missing was a bucket of rootless water and a ton of sand to sink the spears and bury the halberds.

The rootless water is easy to deal with. If it rains, you can use rain. If there is no rain, you can use snow. Anyway, the weather is getting colder and colder, and it will start snowing soon.

As for the tons of sand where the spears and halberds were buried, they needed to find an ancient battlefield to excavate. Jiang Xinghuo opened the browser and searched. However, there were not many ancient battlefields left. The ones that could be found were either general place names or controversial for various reasons.

Just like the ancient battlefield of Chibi, some say it was in Jiayu County, some say it was in Puqi County. Although they are both in Hubei, the locations are very different.

There is also the ancient battlefield of the Battle of Zhuolu. Some say it is in Hebei, while others say it is in Shandong.

There is also the Banquan battlefield between Huangdi and Yandi. There are different opinions about it today. Both Shanxi and Hebei claim that it is in their area.

Jiang Xinghuo searched for keywords for a long time, and finally set his sights on Zhuxian Town, Poyang Lake, and Gaixia.

These three places can be considered as undisputed ancient battlefields. Yue Fei defeated the Jin soldiers in Zhuxian Town, Emperor Hongwu fought a bloody battle in Poyang Lake and destroyed Chen Youliang, and Emperor Gaozu of Han defeated the King of Western Chu and established the Han Dynasty.

However, some scholars in Zhuxian Town have questioned the authenticity of the story. But that doesn’t matter. In the late Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng’s rebel army also fought with the government army in Zhuxian Town, so it can be considered an ancient battlefield.

In fact, the ancient battlefield closest to Jiang Xinghuo is outside the current capital. The defense of the capital in the early Ming Dynasty resulted in countless casualties, and it can definitely be considered an ancient battlefield.

But that place is too prosperous now, not to mention its special geographical location. Any movement will be discovered, so it is better not to cause trouble for yourself.

He decided to take a stroll around Poyang Lake first. It would be best if he could find what he wanted. If not, he would go to the ancient battlefield of the Battle of Gaixia.

There was no conversation all night, and the night ended until dawn.

After getting up in the morning.

Jiang Xinghuo did not start the game as usual. Instead, he cleaned the room first, then went out to buy some breakfast, preparing to open the shop after eating.

But what he didn't expect was that the first customer who came today was Lin Tianshou.

Moreover, Jiang Xinghuo noticed that Lin Tianshou's face looked unhappy, as if he had encountered some difficult problems.

"Team Leader Lin, it's early enough today."

Jiang Xinghuo asked him to sit on the sofa and brought out a bowl of hot soy milk from the kitchen.

Lin Tianshou didn't hesitate to take the soy milk and drank it all, then sighed: "Is that guy dead?"

"Dead? Who's dead?"

Jiang Xinghuo didn't react at first, but the next second, his eyes narrowed: "Team Leader Lin, you're not going to tell me that the White Lotus Buddha died?"

Lin Tianshou nodded and said in a deep voice: "He died last night. The forensic autopsy said it was a sudden myocardial infarction. Because of the delay in rescue, he died in the prison of the Public Opinion Bureau."

"Heart attack?"

Jiang Xinghuo picked up the soy milk with an expressionless face. This way of death was not uncommon, but it was strange that it happened to this person.

Bai Lian, a Buddhist disciple who was a top master who had forged a Dharma image and was as fierce as a mad dog in a fight, died of a heart attack in such a confused manner.

This matter seems weird no matter how you think about it.
