My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 376 Listening Ears

Dayan Bell?
Big injustice! ?

Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a while and felt that the name of this prop was not very auspicious. Isn't it obviously an insult?

However, the innate ability of this item is indeed amazing. It can change the rules of time and space within a hundred meters around itself, and it actually involves the power of time and space at the same time.

Even if I meet an enemy with higher cultivation level than me in the future, I can use the power of this item to defeat the enemy.

Jiang Xinghuo turned his wrist and put the Dayan Bell into the storage space. The watch on his left wrist flashed a light and the pendant immediately disappeared.

Then, Jiang Xinghuo stood up from the ground, and a spark flew out from his fingertips and landed on the corpse.

boom!
A tornado of fire swept across the ground, and under the scorching heat of the Kitchen God's fire, the corpse quickly turned into ashes.

At this time, Jiang Xinghuo felt a little dizzy and his figure began to become faint.

"Can't hold on any longer?"

Looking at the sudden changes in his body, Jiang Xinghuo was not particularly surprised.

Although Risui can perfectly project his consciousness into this world, the duration of the projection is also closely related to his spiritual power.

When he had just fought with the one-eyed old man, his mental strength had been almost exhausted.

The surrounding scenes began to fade away rapidly, and he returned to the real world again. The store was dark and the sky outside had already darkened.

Jiang Xinghuo leaned on the sofa, feeling an indescribable tiredness, as if he had been awake for several days and ran five kilometers outside.

"I'm a little tired."

Jiang Xinghuo took out the Lingquan gourd from his magic bag, patted the belly of the gourd, and heard the crisp sounds of cicadas and birds chirping in his ears.

The fatigue in my body disappeared a lot in an instant, but my energy and spirit were not completely restored.

This made Jiang Xinghuo feel a little surprised, so Jiang Xinghuo patted the Lingquan gourd in his hand again.

I repeated this three times before the fatigue in my body completely disappeared.

Jiang Xinghuo let out a sigh of relief, put away the gourd, then took out his cell phone from his pocket and opened the game interface of the secular world.

"Where are you planning to go next?"

"Will you choose to continue staying in Taiping Ancient Town? Or will you choose to leave here and go somewhere else?"

Jiang Xinghuo glanced at the date. Yesterday was the first day of October. He was exploring the ancient town of Taiping and missed the time to enter Qianjie Village.

But this is not a big deal, just wait for a while, and take this opportunity to explore Taiping Ancient Town.

So in the next few days.

Jiang Xinghuo still stayed in Taiping Ancient Town to continue exploring. Relying on Rishui's talents, he had a great time in Taiping Ancient Town.

The only pity is that I never heard the bell again, nor did I encounter the situation of time going back.

As for the map of the Hall of Rebirth that the old man mentioned, Jiang Xinghuo only found two pieces in the abandoned ancient town, and the rest were nowhere to be found.

In the end, he had explored almost the entire Taiping Ancient Town and had obtained almost all the valuable things. The only secret that had not been cracked was probably the Three Generations Ghost Temple.

But there is no way around it, as the appearance of the Three Generations Ghost Temple was accompanied by the ringing of the bell, or in other words, the source of the bell was within the Ghost Temple.

Jiang Xinghuo couldn't stay here forever, waiting for the temple to appear again, because no one knew the pattern of the temple's appearance.

Maybe it will appear in the next moment, or maybe it will appear after three to five years.

He doesn't have that much time to waste here.

That morning, Jiang Xinghuo first went to an old house in the suburbs to check on the progress of the project. After making sure that there were no problems on site, he returned home and opened the game with peace of mind.

He had left Taiping Ancient Town last night, and today he planned to visit the ruins of the Sushen tribe in Guandong.

He has now almost collected all the casting materials for the limb-jointing Dharma image.

The only thing we have not figured out yet is the essence and blood of the usurping immortal. But there is no need to rush. We should first gather the required number of bones.

"Where are you planning to go today?"

Jiang Xinghuo logged into the game and a text option popped up on the interface. He didn't think much about it and directly clicked on the shrine map, found the option of the Sushen tribe, and then clicked on the transmission.

"You have been teleported to the ruins of the Sushen tribe."

"Do you want to enter it?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose to enter.

"You went deep into the Sushen tribe to explore, and found traces of brutal fighting and broken weapons among the broken walls and ruins."

"In addition, there are a large number of limb splicers' skeletons scattered among the ruins. Do you want to collect them?"

Jiang Xinghuo would certainly not choose to refuse. This was the purpose of his coming here. He just didn't know how many types there were.

"You collected the remains of the remnants of the Sushen tribe."

"You have obtained a large number of biological skeleton fragments."

"Number of biological skeletons: 965/1000."

Seeing the information prompts given by the game text, Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but be overjoyed. He didn't expect that there were so many kinds of skeletons in the Sushen tribe. He almost filled up the progress bar.

The remaining fragments are nothing to worry about. A quick trip to the vegetable market and supermarket will probably fill up the progress bar.

Jiang Xinghuo did not delay and immediately put down his phone and went shopping in the nearby vegetable markets and supermarkets.

Two hours later.

The small shop was filled with the rich aroma of food.

In the kitchen, a modified version of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was simmering over a low fire.

Take another look at your phone.

"Number of biological skeletons: 998/1000."

There are only two things left.

So Jiang Xinghuo went to the antique market again and bought a shark tooth necklace and a mammoth tooth pendant.

"Number of biological skeletons: 1000/1000."

All set!!
Jiang Xinghuo clenched his fist excitedly. Now the number of skeletons has been gathered. The next thing is just the essence and blood of the Xianyue Immortal. The rest are ready.

Usurping the immortal.

Jiang Xinghuo flipped through the text records. He had seen the text about the usurping immortal when he first explored the Imperial City of Peking.

…………

"The usurper immortal, the evil spirit who controls the feudal laws, is also the culprit behind the exile of the secular human beings. He hates all creatures who do not abide by their duties and dare to rebel against their superiors."

"You have now come to the Forbidden City, which is an act of usurpation in its eyes. It has sent out its unknown troops to hunt you down."

"The unknown group is coming towards you..."

…………

Jiang Xinghuo remembered that it was this usurper immortal who sent his unknown men to hunt him down, but he was affected by the "Divine Talisman for Eliminating Cause and Effect and Filth Traces" and got lost on Earth.

Later he asked Lin Tianshou about this matter, and he was told that it was treated as a monster by a few wild players and did not cause any trouble.

This usurper fairy should be within the city of Beiping, but the exact location is not known for now. We can only go to Beiping and ask the storyteller.

"You choose to go to Beiping City." "You activated the shrine's teleportation function."

"The mysterious power of space enveloped your body, and in an instant you crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and arrived at the shrine in Beiping City."

"You have arrived in Beiping City."

"You walk into the city of Beiping. Although the sun is rising, the dusk still hangs over the city."

"Where are you planning to go next?"

"Will you choose to go to the place where the Lord of the World fell? Or will you choose to go somewhere else?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose the latter.

The Forbidden City is the most dangerous place in the world. Even though he now has the fragments of the Golden Law, he would probably die if he entered the Forbidden City.

"Please choose where you want to go?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the sub-maps listed above and finally chose to go to Huangliang Hutong.

He was going to ask the old storyteller. He had accidentally obtained Wuhezhong's All-Seeing Ears, so he took the opportunity to do him a favor and gave it to the deaf old storyteller.

Now, if I go to him again to ask him some questions, it shouldn’t be a big problem.

"You choose to go to Huangliang Hutong."

"On the way..."

"Please wait……"

About five minutes later in reality, a message indicating arrival at the destination came from the game.

"You have arrived at Huangliang Hutong."

"Do you want to choose to enter Huangliang Hutong?"

Jiang Xinghuo didn't think much about it and chose to enter directly, controlling the character in the game and coming to the old storyteller's retreat.

"You came to the place where the old storyteller lived in seclusion, but you found the yard in a mess. There was a lot of dried blood on the ground, as well as the bodies of two apprentice storytellers who died tragically."

"The old storyteller has disappeared. I don't know if he was kidnapped or fled the scene."

"At this time, you opened up the coroner's awareness in your Tathagata storehouse and found that the tendons in the hands and feet of the two apprentice storytellers were severed, and their eyes and tongues were gouged out. Their deaths were extremely miserable."

Jiang Xinghuo sucked his teeth and thought to himself that his luck was really bad to encounter such a thing just after arriving. However, this was an opportunity to trigger a new plot.

"What are you going to do now?"

"Are you going to pretend that you didn't see what happened here and leave? Or are you going to summon the spirits of the two apprentice storytellers and find out what happened here?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought for a while and decided to summon the soul of the corpse to find out what happened. Maybe he could get some unexpected results.

"You took out the spirit-calling bell from your magic bag and activated your innate ability to talk to ghosts and ask about corpses. You quickly summoned back the souls of the two storyteller apprentices."

"You learned what happened here through the storyteller's apprentice's ghost."

"They were the new disciples of the old storyteller, who was expected to inherit his legacy. But one day, an evil guest came and kidnapped the old storyteller."

"The two disciples tried to stop them, but they were brutally tortured to death by the kidnappers. Not only did they cut their tendons in their hands and feet, they also gouged out their eyes and tongues. It took them three days and three nights to die completely."

"However, they recognized the identities of the kidnappers before they died. They must be the mob under the command of the mob leader."

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

"Keyword automatic identification..."

"Please wait……"

"Keywords found."

"Reading keyword content..."

"Reading completed."

"You have been informed of the information about the Lord of Rabble."

"The Lord of the Rabble is a strange and bizarre person in the secular world. No one has ever seen his true face. He controls the laws of the world and can eavesdrop on everything in the world."

"According to folklore, the world's largest intelligence assassination organization, 'Sanbuguan', is very likely its industry."

"But this has never been confirmed, because Wuhezhong and Sanbuguan are notorious enemies. Whenever the disciples of both sides meet, bloodshed is bound to occur."

“No one knows who is right and who is wrong.”

"And the mob under the mob leader are also well-informed people, hiding in the streets and rivers. There is no information they cannot find out."

"At the same time, Wuhezhong is also the sect with the most disciples in the secular world."

"You found out from the two storyteller apprentices where the mob's base in Peking was located..."

"You have been informed of the location of the Rabble's branch."

"You used the water and fire refining method to liberate the two dead souls, so that they no longer have to suffer."

"What are you going to do now?"

"Do you choose to stay in the old storyteller's retreat and investigate it carefully?"

"Or do you choose to go to the branch of the Wuhezhong in Peking immediately and rescue the kidnapped old storyteller?"

Looking at the two options given by the game, Jiang Xinghuo subconsciously wanted to choose the latter.

But think about it, since the game text gives the option of exploration, doesn’t it mean that there are other things here, waiting for you to discover?
So, Jiang Xinghuo changed his mind, chose the first answer, and stayed in the yard to explore.

"You chose to stay here and explore."

"After a careful investigation, you used your treasure-hunting ability to find a wooden box under the osmanthus tree. Do you want to open it and take a look?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes.

"You chose to open the wooden box."

"But because you were too careless, you didn't notice the hidden mechanism in the box, and a crossbow arrow suddenly shot out!!"

"You were shot through the eye by a crossbow arrow, and the blood rushed into your skull, instantly destroying a large number of blood vessels."

"You passed out from blood loss."

"You are dead."

Depend on! !

Jiang Xinghuo didn't expect that he would die in this way. He immediately used a scapegoat and resurrected in the yard.

"You went over to pick up the box that had fallen to the ground and found that there was only a folded piece of parchment inside the box."

"You were more careful this time. You used the Five Ghosts Moving Technique to grab the parchment from the air."

"And at the moment the parchment was taken away, three poison needles with a purple glow suddenly popped out. The poison on them was fatal on impact."

Jiang Xinghuo breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was a good thing that he was prepared. If he had foolishly tried to take it with his hands, he would have been hit by the poison needle again.

However, this also aroused Jiang Xinghuo's interest. What kind of treasure could allow the old storyteller to leave so many tricks behind?

"You unfolded the parchment in your hand."

"You have obtained the clue of the Listening Ear..."
