My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 408 Beacon
Jiang Xinghuo entered the Corpse Forest Cave Heaven. He originally wanted to stroll around there, but he unexpectedly attracted the siege of a large number of people in the Corpse Forest.

Fortunately, through the prompt information in the game text, Jiang Xinghuo found the mask of the Corpse Forest and put it on his face, which curbed the hostility of other people in the Corpse Forest.

However, although these people in the corpse forest no longer attacked Jiang Xinghuo, they seemed to be forcing him to go somewhere.

Looking at the two options given in the game text, Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a while, and finally did not choose to go towards that path, but chose to explore other places.

He wanted to see how the people in the forest of corpses would react.

"You chose to explore other places."

“But those corpses half-kneeling on the ground are like withered tombstones, firmly blocking the road leading to other places.”

"Do you plan to fight your way out of the blockade of these zombies, or go to the end of that path?"

Two options, either fight your way out or walk through.

Jiang Xinghuo thought for a moment and took out Risui from the magic bag. He wanted to activate Risui's ability and use consciousness projection to explore personally.

But to his surprise, Risui was also in a dormant state within the Corpse Forest Hell and could not be used at all.

"The Corpse Forest Hell was originally a landmark set up by the Lord of the Corpse Forest with the 'Law of Burial'. It can bury everything in the secular world. Unless the Lord of the Corpse Forest allows it, the instruments and props outside of the Corpse Forest Hell cannot play their due role here."

The sign of the Lord of the Cemetery? ?

Jiang Xinghuo felt a little surprised. He didn't expect that this hell was actually a landmark set up by the Lord of the Cemetery for himself.

This also proved his previous guess that the Lord of the Cemetery Forest was indeed a Taoist master, and his strength should be very strong. At least he could set up his own Taoist landmark.

According to the old man in the ancestral hall, the strong man who set up the marker will not truly die as long as the marker is not completely destroyed.

The Corpse Forest Hell still exists in the world today, and the Lord of the Corpse Forest is most likely not truly dead, but has just fallen into a long sleep.

Jiang Xinghuo replayed the game text and decided to go to the end of the path to see what tricks the Lord of the Cemetery had left behind.

As for whether the other party would take over his body, Jiang Xinghuo was not particularly worried about it.

The power of the Golden Law has been dissolved into his flesh and blood. Although he cannot actively exert the power of the Golden Law, he can at least ensure that his body will not be taken over by outsiders.

“You chose to go to the end of the trail.”

"The people in the forest of corpses watched you walk into the darkness, and they themselves returned to death and were buried again by those dead black trees."

"You walked along the path, and from time to time, corpses appeared around you. But after seeing the mask on your face, they all knelt on the ground, as if they were welcoming the return of their king."

"Soon, you walked out of this forest of decayed corpses, and a dilapidated ancient temple appeared before your eyes."

"This is an ancient temple that is completely dark. Under the reflection of the red sky, it exudes a frightening aura."

"But the cemetery mask on your face is flickering with light, revealing several inexplicable fragments of memory."

"You learned from these memory fragments that this ancient temple is where the Lord of the Cemetery Forest resides. It was built by it before it fell into a deep sleep."

"But no one knows whether the master of the cemetery is inside. Do you want to go in and find out?"

Jiang Xinghuo narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and made his decision.

"You chose to explore inside the ancient temple."

"You walked into the ancient temple. Although it was clean and tidy without any dust, it felt extremely desolate, as if no one had been here for a long time."

"You found a broken lotus sun-wheel throne on the cloud altar in the middle of the ancient temple. That is the instrument used by the master of the cemetery to practice."

"The Lord of the Cemetery cherished this Dharma instrument very much. Now that the Dharma seat has been broken, you can imagine what the Lord of the Cemetery has experienced."

"But you didn't find the Lord of the Cemetery in the ancient temple. It doesn't seem to be sleeping here..."

"What are you going to do next?"

"Would you like to explore the ancient temple or leave so as not to disturb the peace of the cemetery master?"

Ok?
Jiang Xinghuo paid attention to the description of the game text, so as not to disturb the peace of the Lord of the Cemetery?

Since the other party is not inside this ancient temple, even if I demolish this temple, it probably won't disturb the other party, right?

Could it be that the Lord of the Cemetery is still in the ancient temple?

Is it just that you can't see it?

After Jiang Xinghuo had this thought in his mind, new game text suddenly popped up.

"You took off the cemetery mask on your face and opened the horizontal eye between your eyebrows. The fire ring around the edge of your pupil flickered with a red glow. You closed your eyes and observed the ancient temple with the horizontal eye between your eyebrows..."

"The furnishings in the ancient temple have not changed. It is still so desolate and quiet. However, a figure emitting a deadly aura appeared on the broken lotus sun wheel throne."

"You have discovered the sleeping Lord of the Cemetery."

"You walked to the side of the Cemetery Master and found that he was emitting a strong aura of death. He was in a state of neither life nor death, and had no sense of anything in the outside world."

"Do you want to explore the body of the Lord of the Cemetery?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes. Since the other party was unable to sense the outside world, he would naturally not do anything that would be detrimental to him.

"You chose to touch the corpse of the charnel ground master."

"You have obtained a White Bone Emperor Bell, a broken White Bone Temple, a secret method of "White Bone Lotus", and a piece of flesh and blood of an unknown creature."

Jiang Xinghuo searched the body of the Lord of the Cemetery, but only found a few things.

But he didn't feel anything was wrong. After all, the Lord of the Cemetery Forest didn't choose to live in seclusion, but was beaten into this state by others, so he had no choice but to hide here with the Cemetery Forest Hell. Naturally, there wouldn't be so many good things.

Jiang Xinghuo took a quick look at the items, then clicked on the text and began to count them one by one.

"The White Bone Emperor Bell (rare item), one of the seven treasures of the Lord of the Cemetery, has the function of controlling corpses. As long as the bell is rung, a dead corpse can be awakened. The duration of the summoned corpse depends on the magic power of the person who rings the bell."

This should be a magical instrument specially used to control corpses. The Lord of the Cemetery is the ancestor of the corpse-driving people in the secular world, so it is not surprising that he possesses this kind of magical instrument.

Jiang Xinghuo took out the thing and took a look at it.

The entire Emperor Bell is carved from white bones and inlaid with a lot of agate and jade, but the sound it makes when it is shaken is dull and hoarse, not as crisp and pleasant as the sound made from gold and iron.

Jiang Xinghuo played with the White Bone Emperor Bell in his hands for a while, then threw it into the magic bag and turned around to check other things.

"Broken Skeleton View (rare item), one of the seven treasures of the Lord of the Cemetery, both offensive and defensive, can control the skeleton to attack the enemy, special talent: bones are as wild as the wild."

"Bones are like the wild: The innate ability of the bone viewer can transform a fixed area into a bone area, and all the bones in the bone area can be freely controlled."

"Duration: 5 minutes."

"If you can find other fragments and repair the White Bone Observation itself, the duration of the Bone Domain will be extended."

Jiang Xinghuo took the thing out and took a look at it. It looked like a miniature landscape ornament, and the specific usage method also appeared in his mind.

The simplest way to use this bone temple is to use it as a shield barrier to block enemy attacks.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo looked at the secret book "Lotus from White Bones" again.

"White Bones Grow Lotus (???), this is a spell created by the Lord of the Cemetery in his later years. However, he encountered a powerful enemy before he could fully perfect it, so he has no idea what power this technique has, or what drawbacks it has. The only thing we know is that it can greatly increase the hardness of one's bones."

"Do you want to practice this incomplete and imperfect technique?"

Jiang Xinghuo took a look at the game text and chose the no option without any hesitation.

joke! !
He is asking for trouble when he has to practice a secret manual of martial arts that has not been fully perfected yet and he doesn't know what the disadvantages will be after practicing it. What if he turns himself into a skeleton after practicing it?

He hasn't even married yet. If he really turns into a skeleton, the ancestors of the Jiang family will come up in the middle of the night, tear him apart and feed him to the stray dogs on the street.

"You made a very wise decision."

"You threw the secret book of 'White Bones and Lotus' in your hand into the deepest part of the magic bag. Perhaps when your Tathagata storehouse reaches a certain level, you can deduce and improve it based on the existing skills."

In the end, all that was left was the flesh and blood of that unknown creature.

"The flesh and blood of an unknown creature (???). Before the Lord of the Cemetery Forest fell into a deep sleep, he tore a piece of flesh and blood from the body of his great enemy. It is still unknown what the function is, but it contains a faint trace of the 'Law of Ascension'. After swallowing it into the body, you can obtain a fragment of the 'Law of Ascension'."

"The Law of Ascension is a law that no one knows if it really exists. According to some ancient books, this law is one of the legal authorities held by the Taoist Ancestor. It has the ability to ascend to heaven and transcend all things. Even the power of the Golden Law cannot affect this law."

"However, since the Taoist master passed away, all traces of the Ascension Law have disappeared from the secular world, so much so that later generations believe that the Ascension Law is just a legend fabricated by our ancestors."

"Do you want to fuse the fragments of the Law of Ascension?"

"Please note that although the Ascension Law is now ownerless, the holders of the law can sense each other and know each other's approximate location."

"If you are not strong enough, then there is a high possibility that other law holders will forcibly take away the fragments of the law of ascension in your body."

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo felt a little hesitant. Although his current strength was pretty good, it depended on who he was compared with. If he was compared with those old guys from ancient times, he would definitely not be their match.

Even a powerful man like the Lord of the Cemetery who had set up a landmark was beaten to a dying state by the other party, so I am no match for that person.

Therefore, this fragment of the law must be integrated, but the right time must be chosen, for example... wait until he has set up a beacon. Perhaps then he can try to integrate the fragments. Even if the other party wants to cause trouble, he has nothing to be afraid of.

Now... let's just forget about it for now...

"Your caution saved you from a fatal disaster, but you can't just leave this fragment of the law alone. You'd better find a vessel that can shield your senses and store this unknown piece of flesh and blood in it. The Lotus Sun Wheel Seat of the Lord of the Cemetery is a good choice."

"This magic weapon contains the power of the 'Law of Burial'. Combined with the authority of the law of cause and effect in your body, it is enough to block the perception of other holders, but they cannot block your perception."

Tsk tsk, Jiang Xinghuo smacked his lips and thought that this was a bit of a rogue. However, when he saw that he was the one being a rogue, well, then this matter made sense.

As for the Lord of the Cemetery, we can only apologize to it for the time being. Anyway, it cannot sense the outside world now, so it doesn't matter whether there is a throne under it or not.

"You took out a cushion from your magic bag and moved the body of the Lord of the Cemetery onto the cushion."

"You have obtained the Lotus Sun Wheel Throne."

"Lotus Sun Wheel Seat (special item), a lotus throne made by the Lord of the Cemetery. Because he chanted mantras on the throne for many years, it contains a trace of the power of the law of tombs."

Jiang Xinghuo put the things into the magic bag. Just when he was about to leave the ancient temple, he saw new game text pop up.

"When you were moving the body of the Lord of the Cemetery, you found that its hands, which were chanting a mantra, seemed to be pointing in a certain direction. Do you want to go over and take a look?"

Are there any new plot clues? ?
When Jiang Xinghuo was surprised, he controlled the character and walked over to see what the Lord of the Cemetery had left behind.

"You walked to the wall pointed by the charnel ground master and found some murals on it, which recorded what happened to the charnel ground master in his later years."

"The murals tell us that the Lord of the Cemetery Forest lived in seclusion in Ghost Lake in his later years and happened to meet the King of the Yellow River who came here. Although the two lived in different eras, they hit it off and became close friends..."

"But not long after, a mysterious strong man suddenly came from outside to Ghost Lake and attacked the Yellow River King and the Lord of the Corpse Forest with the force of thunder."

"In that battle, the King of the Yellow River and his wife died at the hands of that mysterious strongman. The Lord of the Cemetery Forest managed to escape with the help of a Taoist beacon, but he was also seriously injured and dying. He could only force himself to build this ancient temple in the Cemetery Forest Cave, leaving behind the cause and effect of the incident, and fell into silence. It is unknown whether he can wake up again..."

"From the contents of the mural, you learned the place where the Yellow River King and his wife fell, and also learned the identity of the mysterious strong man..."
