My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 405 Great Harvest

Jiang Xinghuo discovered a secret room in the palace. After entering the secret room, he saw a corpse. Naturally, there was no reason to miss this opportunity.

"You chose to go forward and touch the corpse, and you gained something."

"You have heard that the coroner in the Tathagata's Dharma Eye made a rough assessment of the body's cause of death. It seems that some force robbed the body of its blood and essence, which is why it has turned into a mummified corpse in this secret room instead of completely rotting into a skeleton."

"You have obtained a mountain and river robe, a broken bone mask, a copper coin mask, a dagger to kill the king, and a dried corpse of the Dragon Bloodline."

"Afterwards, you explored the secret room carefully and found a lot of good things."

"You have obtained a rusty dragon claw iron anchor, a handwritten copy of the Mirror Forest Secret Art, a secret book of the Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts, an ancient scroll of the Art of Creating Animals, a dragon horn drill that can turn rivers and seas upside down, a dragon water-repellent bead, and a hand-painted underwater map of Ghost Lake."

Good guy! !

Looking at the rich rewards given by the game text, Jiang Xinghuo thought that it had been a long time since he had such a big explosion.

It is worthy of being the Yellow River King's temple. There are so many good things in any palace. If I find where the Yellow River King lives, I am afraid there will be more good things waiting for me.

While thinking about these things, Jiang Xinghuo counted the harvest one by one, wanting to see what use they had.

The first thing he counted was what he had found on the body.

"Mountain and River Robe (rare item), the Yellow River King condensed the water veins of all rivers in the world to refine the robe. It can freely shuttle through mountains and rivers. It has a strong deterrent effect on water monsters and demons, and can also greatly improve its own defense capabilities."

Hey!
The door opener is a prop of rare quality, which was made by King Huanghe himself. It can just solve his current difficulties. As long as he equips this prop, he will not be afraid of walking underwater in the future.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo directly clicked on the text, chose to use the props, and equipped himself with the robe.

Not only can it improve its own defense capabilities, but it can also move freely underwater. It's a win-win situation and there is no harm in it.

"A broken bone mask (special item), a white skull-shaped mask, was salvaged at the same time as the Ghost Lake Priest Book, but no one knows what it is used for. Wearing it on the face does not make it look strange, but it is quite sensitive to the presence of corpses and bones."

Jiang Xinghuo took a look at the game description, clicked on the text, took out the thing and took a look. A cracked skull mask appeared in his hand, with faded colorful ribbons tied on both sides. It looked a bit like a shaman.

But just when he wanted to open the Tathagata storehouse to check the specific information of the mask, he suddenly felt a sour pain in his right eye, and tears instantly overflowed from his eyes.

"Well……"

Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but groan, breaking out in a cold sweat, and quickly closed the small pupil of his right eye. At the same time, he touched Long A Tai and moved it around his eyes. The minty cool feeling began to gradually relieve the soreness and stinging in his eyeballs.

More than ten minutes later, Jiang Xinghuo dared to slowly open his right eye. He picked up the small mirror on the bedside and took a look. The pupil of his right eye had turned red, and bloodshot almost filled the white of his eyeball, as if it would burst at any time.

At the same time, new text messages came from the game.

"You have observed a forbidden object in the secular world. Your Tathagatagarbha is currently too low-level to peek into the origin of this forbidden object."

"Your Tathagatagarbha has been severely damaged and cannot be used again in the short term. You need to rest for a while."

Seeing that Tathagata Zang was temporarily unusable, Jiang Xinghuo's heart sank slightly. He didn't expect that just a slight eye contact would cause Tathagata Zang to go into a shutdown state.

The last time he encountered this situation was when he obtained the village treasure of the Immortal Village, a spherical object similar to Jupiter. Tathagata was attacked by an unknown force, which led to this situation.

I didn't expect that the mask would be like this now. I guess there must be some big secrets hidden in this bone mask.

Jiang Xinghuo rubbed his eyes, took out the remaining eye drops from last time, and dripped them into his own eyes. Only then did he feel a little better.

Then, Jiang Xinghuo threw the mask into the magic bag and started checking the other things.

"The Copper Coin Mask (legendary prop), a treasure passed down from generation to generation by corpse chasers. As long as you put on this mask, your flesh and blood body will gradually transform into a Ba, and there will be no trace of harm left. When the merit is complete, the mask will automatically fall off your face."

"In the past, the leader of the corpse-driving lineage fought a fierce battle with the Yellow River King. He forcibly evolved himself from a flying zombie into a corpse demon, and nearly took the Yellow River King's life. However, he was still one step behind and was killed by the Yellow River King in the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains. This mask also fell into his hands."

Tsk tsk, Jiang Xinghuo didn't expect that this copper coin mask would actually be a legendary prop, or a treasure passed down from generation to generation by the corpse-drivers.

However, this also indirectly confirms the extraordinary nature of the corpse in the secret room.

He was now very curious in his heart, what was the relationship between this corpse and the Yellow River King, and how could he have obtained so many high-quality treasures?

Disciple?

Jiang Xinghuo shook his head, feeling that it was unlikely.

The King of the Yellow River made his fortune by betraying his teacher and ancestors, so how could he be so good to his disciple?

Moreover, with his personality, even if he really accepted some disciples, most of them would be with the intention of using them, and it would be impossible for him to give his whole heart to them.

So, this corpse is more likely to be its... offspring?
Jiang Xinghuo felt that this possibility was quite high. After all, even a tiger would not eat its own cubs. He might be on guard against his disciples, but he probably wouldn't be so cautious against his own offspring. It was normal to give him some treasures for self-defense.

"King-King Killing Dagger (special item). This dagger is stained with the blood of the Lord of the Secular World. The material itself is not special, but the blood of the Lord of the Secular World has endowed this dagger with the ability to kill the King. It has a 50% chance of critical hit and kill against the descendants of the Lord of the Secular World or the Dragon Bloodline. The strength of other people injured by this dagger will also be reduced by 30%. Duration: 30 minutes."

Another rare and fun thing.

Jiang Xinghuo was already somewhat accustomed to it, but when he saw the specific effect of this dagger, he was still a little surprised.

It has a 50% chance of killing the descendants of the Lord of the Secular World and other Dragon Bloodlines.

The so-called Dragon's Bloodline actually refers to the descendants of the emperor, the royal relatives, and so on. As long as they have the emperor's blood in their bodies, even if it has been diluted a lot, they can still be called Dragon's Bloodline.

In addition, this dagger can also reduce the strength of other enemies, which is the most useful ability.

There is no identity restriction, nor any other conditions. Once you are injured by this dagger, your strength will drop by 30%. If used at a critical moment, it is enough to turn the entire battle situation around. Jiang Xinghuo happily put the dagger away, and then went back to modify this item, and practice the use of hidden weapons and rope darts. This dagger is equivalent to a hidden killer.

Finally, there was the dried corpse.

"The dried corpse of the Dragon Bloodline (special material). It was originally the offspring of the Yellow River King and the descendant of the Lord of the Secular World. The Yellow River King had high hopes for it, but for some reason it died here."

"On the night of dawn, most of the descendants of the Lord of the World were slaughtered. The few who escaped also hid their identities for fear of bringing disaster upon themselves. Among them was a dragon girl who was very favored by the Lord of the World. She was seriously injured and fainted on the night of dawn, so she was lucky enough to keep her life."

"Later, the dragon girl recovered from her injuries and wanted to avenge the fallen Lord of the Secular World, but somehow she found the body of the Yellow River King."

"The result is self-evident. That dragon girl was no match for the Yellow River King. She was easily captured by him."

"But for some reason, the Yellow River King did not kill the dragon girl. Instead, he fell in love with her at first sight and wanted to marry her. He even dismissed all his wives and concubines for this purpose."

"Initially, the Dragon Girl had no good impression of the Yellow River King, because after all, it was one of the culprits who killed the Lord of the Secular World."

"But later, for some unknown reason, the Dragon Girl changed her behavior and not only fell in love with the Yellow River King, but also had a child with him, this corpse whose essence and blood had been plundered..."

Jiang Xinghuo scrolled back through the game text and couldn't help but suck his tongue. This plot seemed like one of the popular romantic dramas nowadays, with all the elements complete.

The male protagonist is the murderer of his father, and the female protagonist assassinates him in revenge. They fall in love at first sight, and then the misunderstandings are resolved, and finally they get married, presenting a perfect happy ending. However, looking back, the ending is much more realistic.

If the story develops according to normal logic, the male and female protagonists will work together to find the real culprit behind the scenes and then kill this big boss.

But the Yellow River King and the Dragon Girl were obviously not so lucky.

"After the Yellow River King married the Dragon Girl, he has been living in seclusion in this ancient city. However, for some unknown reason, he attracted a great enemy, which put the entire ancient city in danger of being overthrown and destroyed."

"The King of the Yellow River originally wanted to hold off the enemy by himself, giving his wife and children time to escape from the ancient city, but the Dragon Girl sealed her son in the palace and pretended to have escaped, while she and her husband faced the great enemy together."

"What happened next was that this place became a dead city. The fate of the Yellow River King and his wife was unknown. All the other evil spirits were killed here. The descendants of the Yellow River King and the Dragon Girl also died in the secret room."

It seems that only a few people can successfully take revenge in TV dramas, and those who fail halfway are the majority in reality.

Jiang Xinghuo shook his head, but thought secretly in his heart that there might really be some unknown secrets in this.

Why would the Dragon Girl give up the revenge for her father's murder, be with the man who killed her husband, and even give birth to a child with him?

Could it be that he wanted to bide his time and wait for the Yellow River King to let down his guard before finding the right opportunity to strike?

Or is the Dragon Girl similar to those heartless heroines, giving up her entire family’s annihilation for the sake of a man?

I don’t understand, I really don’t understand.

Jiang Xinghuo smacked his lips and continued to read the following content, and new game text popped up.

"You have learned the true identity of this dried corpse. In a sense, it also has a blood feud with your race. How do you plan to deal with this corpse?"

"Are you planning to grind him to dust in order to avenge your exile by the Lord of the Secular World?"

"It is better to choose to sell this body to those Yinmen businesses. This kind of noble corpse is the most popular among them."

"Of course, you can also find a place to dig a hole and bury the body to accumulate some merit for yourself. It may even play some unexpected role."

Jiang Xinghuo is not a fool. The game text has given such clear instructions. If he still doesn’t know what to do, he has lived in vain for so many years.

This corpse is obviously related to the subsequent plot, and the plots triggered by different options will definitely be different.

"You chose to bury this corpse properly. Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. The ones who exiled you were the Lord of the Secular World and the usurping Immortal. If you want revenge, you should go find them. Using an unrelated corpse to vent your resentment is not what a strong person should do."

"You have buried the body of the Yellow River Dragon."

"When you were burying the body of Huanghe Longzi, you found a key covered with copper rust and a map leading to the palace in the gap between the floor tiles."

"You have obtained the key and map to the Yellow River King's palace."

"This is the Yellow River Dragon's way of thanking me, the person who buried its body. It is also its last wish before it dies. It wants to know what happened to its father and mother and whether they are still alive."

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo had an idea in his mind. Fortunately, he was smart enough not to destroy the body, otherwise where would he get the map and the key.

After putting these things away, Jiang Xinghuo looked at the things he found in the secret room. No wonder the hall outside was empty. It was estimated that all the good things were kept in the secret room.

"Dragon Claw Anchor (Excellent Item), an anchor that can automatically sink into the riverbed. No matter how strong the wind and waves are, it cannot be lifted up. It can also be used on other ships to forcibly fix them in a certain area of ​​water."

"Mirror Forest Secret Technique (rare technique), a secret technique passed down by the Mirror Immortal, one of the Eight Immortals in the secular world. It can generate an ancient mirror that is isolated from the outside world, and the rules of warmth and cold, good and evil will also be isolated from it."

"Do you want to learn this technique?"

Jiang Xinghuo read the description of the text carefully, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he chose to study without hesitation.

This is the best way to avoid the rules of the "Demon Sealing Array" and the "Region-Suppressing Monument". It forms a space of its own and is not restricted by the rules of the outside world. He can completely hide in the mirror forest and attack enemies from the outside world.

As one side gains strength while the other loses, I have the advantage. With the flying dragon on my face, it's hard for me to lose.

"You have used the Mirror Forest Mystic Codex."

"You have mastered the secret art of Mirror Forest."
