My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 43 Touching Long A Tai
"You found the body of a Nanyang medicine practitioner."

"From the clothes he was wearing, you can tell that he must have been a monk named Luang Pu from the Nanyang Great Pagoda Temple."

"The Nanyang region has been a place of many religions since ancient times. Buddhism, witchcraft, sorcery, black magic, shamanism, spiritualism, and all kinds of evil magic are mixed and disorderly. The order is in chaos. The emphasis is on the strong being the king."

"As long as two sects have a disagreement, they will dare to fight each other to determine the winner. It is common for new sects to emerge and old sects to perish. No one can guarantee that their own sect can stand forever."

"But what makes you wonder is why Luang Phor Yakshi of the Nanyang Great Pagoda Temple would pass away here?"

"Fortunately, when you examined the body of the Nanyang pharmacist, you found a suicide note left by him."

"Do you want to read this suicide note?"

Looking at the information on the screen, Jiang Xinghuo had no reason to refuse.

According to normal people's thinking, the most valuable thing in this courtyard is probably hidden in this suicide note.

Otherwise, the other party would not have traveled thousands of miles from Southeast Asia to this capital area.

"You read the pharmacist's suicide note."

"You got a glimpse of the reason why the pharmacist came here from his suicide note."

"The medicine man said in his suicide note that he was a wizard of Nanyang Voodoo. Later, he was defeated in a battle with a monk from the Great Buddha Pagoda Temple. The medicine man thought he would be killed by the monk, but he didn't expect that the monk not only didn't kill him, but also healed his injuries."

"The Medicine Master was grateful for the great kindness of the monk, so he worshipped the monk as his teacher and became the Medicine Master monk of the Great Buddha Pagoda Temple."

"He swore before the Buddha that he would no longer use magic to harm people's lives, and instead embarked on the path of curing diseases and saving lives."

"But because the witchcraft is too cruel, the insects in its body need to be fed with the flesh and blood of living people. Since it has sworn not to hurt anyone again, it can only be fed with its own flesh and blood."

"If this continues, a large amount of toxins will accumulate in the body and it will be impossible to completely eliminate them. The patient can only linger on in bed."

"Until one day, by chance, the pharmacist found a book called 'Zi Bu Yu' in the Sutra Library. It recorded a magical creature called 'Mo Long A Tai'. It not only has the ability to find herbs and medicines, but can also cure all kinds of poisons in the world. Even the most ferocious poison can be easily cured by it."

"After much inquiry, the pharmacist learned that the ancestor of the Yao family had once obtained this spiritual object, so he was called the Dragon Touching Ancestor by later generations, and that's why he crossed the ocean to Dragon City."

"But when he found the Yao family, all the Yao family members had died from the curse of the real dragon, and the clue to Mo Long A Tai was cut off."

"At this time, the pharmacist was already at the end of his rope, and could only leave a suicide note with reluctance, and then died because of the poison in his body."

After reading the game text, Jiang Xinghuo sighed softly. The pharmacist had clearly found hope to survive, but failed at the last step. It was really fate's trick.

However, his guess and reasoning were also confirmed. The most valuable thing in this small courtyard was hidden in the pharmacist's suicide note.

But we still need to explore where it is hidden.

Jiang Xinghuo controlled the character to explore the dilapidated house again, but found nothing, and the Tathagata Zang was not triggered.

"Is it in another room?"

Jiang Xinghuo flipped forward in the text. He remembered that when the text described the courtyard, it seemed that there were two dilapidated houses. Perhaps the things were hidden in another house.

"You searched carefully but didn't find anything, so you left the shabby house and went to another one."

"You walked into the shabby house on the right and explored it carefully. You will gain a lot."

"You found a bottle of realgar wine on the cabinet."

"Realgar wine (common item), a wine made from realgar ore. After taking it, it can ward off evil spirits, prevent epidemics, and eliminate the five poisons. Sprinkling it on the ground can also repel snakes, insects, rats, and ants."

"You found a Gu worm jar." "This is a device used by Gu masters in southern Yunnan to raise Gu. It is similar to the Gu pot in Nanyang. Placing Gu worms in it can maximize the ferocity of the Gu worms. After they fight each other and devour hundreds of Gu, the worm that survives is the Gu King."

"You found a shrunken Gu larvae egg."

"It was originally the young egg of the golden silkworm Gu worm, but for some reason it did not transform into life. There are toxins left in the egg, which can be used as a material for refining elixirs."

"Tathagata's talent is triggered."

"When you were taking the realgar wine, you discovered a secret room behind the cabinet filled with various medicinal materials. You moved the cabinet away and found the entrance to the secret room. Do you want to enter this secret room?"

"found it!!"

Seeing this line of text, Jiang Xinghuo's eyes lit up. If nothing unexpected happened, Mo Long A Tai or related clues should be hidden in this secret room.

"You chose to enter the Chamber of Secrets."

"But you found that the entrance to the secret room has been sealed. You can't get in without the key. You can check the body of the owner of the medicine house. Maybe you can find the key."

"You came outside the house and prepared to take the body of the master of the medicine house down from the dead tree. When you looked up, you found that the body of the master of the medicine house had disappeared, and only a straw rope was left dangling back and forth."

When Jiang Xinghuo saw this line of text, his heart skipped a beat and he thought he was in trouble.

Sure enough, the following text confirms this.

"You are cursed by the dead dragon."

"You feel your head getting dizzy, and you walk to the dead tree involuntarily, put your head through the rope, kick your legs, and hang in the air."

"You are dead."

"Do you want to activate the Fall Guy effect?"

Jiang Xinghuo nodded directly.

"You activated the scapegoat, escaped from the dead dragon's curse, and the scarecrow hanged himself on the tree for you."

"Scapegoat (2/3)."

"You explored around and found the body of the owner of the medicine house by the well. Just in case, you controlled the water flow in the sea water kettle and caught the body of the owner of the medicine house in mid-air."

"A key fell to the floor."

"You have obtained the key to the Chamber of Secrets."

"You walked into the dilapidated house again and opened the entrance to the secret room. You chose to enter this secret room."

"You walked into the secret room and found a strange fragrance in the secret room. You also saw many remains of corpses that had not been completely digested."

"You walked to the center of the secret room and found a white-green dragon cub, hovering in the crystal ball, emitting vitality. It seemed to be the spiritual object recorded in the pharmacist's suicide note, the one that could remove all poisons in the world, Molong Atai. Do you want to pick it up?"

"You have once again been cursed by the dead dragon."

"You were beheaded, and your body lost support and fell to the ground. You lost too much blood..."

"You are dead."

"You have obtained an ancient spiritual object, Molong Atai."
