My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 437 Fox Ridge Coffin Village
"The spy from the Sticky Rod Department agreed to your terms, and you also learned the whole story from him, as well as the reason why he became like this."

"Since the fall of the Lord of the Secular World, the Sticking Pole Department has disappeared from the secular world. This is because they had offended too many enemies before, so they could only change their appearance and walk in the secular world under other identities."

"This spy from the Sticky Rod Division used to be the head of the Sticky Rod Division. He was a powerful person, but in order to avoid his enemies, he had to keep a low profile."

"But he was unwilling to live his life like this, so he wanted to improve his cultivation and Taoism to fight against the enemies who were hunting him down."

"So, the spies of the Sticking Rod Department set their sights on the imperial mausoleum. As an assassination agency of the secular dynasty, the Sticking Rod Department's training and unique skills are mostly centered around assassination, one of which is the Secret Art of the Wind Scythe."

"This unique skill can control the power of wind for one's own benefit. Not only can one hide oneself in the wind, but one can also transform it into an invisible wind blade. Even if the target is hundreds of meters away, it can easily harvest the target's head."

"However, this secret technique is derived from the monster wind sickle in the secular world. If you want to bring the power of this secret technique to its fullest, you must use the horn of the wind sickle as the medium for casting spells."

"The spies from the Sticky Pole Department have been searching the secular world for a long time, but have not found any clues about the Wind Scythe Horn, so they have no choice but to focus on the Imperial Mausoleum."

"He had seen relevant records in the archives of the Sticking Pole Office. Among the burial objects of the previous lord of the secular world was the corpse of a wind sickle demon king, who was also the most capable assistant of the previous lord when he conquered the secular world."

"If the Lord of the Secular World was still alive, he would naturally not dare to have such thoughts, but since the Lord of the Secular World fell, those imperial tombs have been unguarded, and he no longer has those concerns in his heart."

"A spy from the Sticky Pole Department broke into the tomb of the previous lord. He originally wanted to find the body of the Wind Scythe Demon King and leave, but he didn't expect that there was a gravekeeper in the tomb. He tore off one of his arms in an instant."

"If it hadn't already prepared a plan to escape, I'm afraid it would have died in that imperial tomb."

"The spy from the Sticky Pole Division failed to obtain the Wind Scythe Horn and lost an arm. He wanted to find a place to heal his wounds, but he didn't expect that he would be in trouble and invite revenge from a powerful enemy."

"Without any help, he could only flee northward to the border."

"That is where the secular dynasty was founded. There are many old people living in seclusion there. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."

"Who knew that he would mistakenly enter a strange village on the way and nearly die there. After escaping from death, he contracted an unknown evil pus. In a daze, he came to this mountain and met the grandson of the old master."

Jiang Xinghuo sucked his teeth and thought to himself that this guy was so unlucky. He was really unlucky this year. Was there something wrong with him? None of the things he wanted to do could be accomplished. He always suffered from disasters. He finally met a savior, but he ruined everything.

"Now that you know what happened, what are you going to do next?"

"Would you choose to kill this spy from the Sticky Pole Department, or heal his wounds?"

Two options, kill or cure.

Jiang Xinghuo thought for a moment and chose the latter option to cure the spy from the Sticky Rod Department.

"You lit the stove god fire, and a golden-red flame flew out, wandering around the opponent's body. Although the smell of burnt flesh filled the cave, the poisonous sores on the spy's body began to heal rapidly, and the pain on his face was much less."

"You triggered the effect of the burning fire."

"Scurvy Fire (Special). This kind of fire has a very good restraining effect on rickets and boils. It is just right for the current situation of the spies at the Sticky Pole Office."

"Under the effect of the burning fire, the poisonous sores on the sticky agent's body gradually burned and fell off, revealing the bright red muscle texture under the skin."

"You put away the burning fire, and used the method of bringing dead wood back to life to start healing the skin wounds of the spy at the Sticky Pole Office."

"In progress, please wait..."

Jiang Xinghuo waited for a while, and new news came from the game.

"Healing complete."

"The condition of the spy from the Sticky Pole Division has improved and he is no longer in danger of death."

The Sticky Pole Agent stood up from the ground. Although you two were a little unhappy, he was still very grateful for your help and gave you some gifts.

"You have obtained the secret technique of the wind sickle."

"The Secret Art of Wind Scythe (rare technique), derived from the secret art of the monster Wind Scythe, can control the power of wind for your own use, but it cannot create wind out of nothing."

Jiang Xinghuo studied it briefly and understood what it meant. This technique was equivalent to a skill. Although it could control the flow and shape of the wind, the prerequisite was that there must be wind in the air.

But you cannot create a strong wind out of nowhere in a windless environment.

Perhaps, this is also the reason why the spies from the Sticky Pole Department tried every means to find the Wind Scythe Horn.

Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the glowing "Wind Sickle Unicorn" text.

"The Wind Scythe's Horn. It is the horn of the monster Wind Scythe. It is also the source of Wind Scythe's power. It can release endless gales and crush the enemy in the vortex of the storm."

"According to folklore, when the last lord of the secular world was fighting against the rebels outside the Great Wall, the monster Wind Scythe used the strong wind to transform into countless sharp blades and killed nearly ten thousand rebels in one breath, leaving not even a complete corpse."

"The spy from the Sticky Pole Department gave you the secret technique of the Wind Scythe, and then he said something. I don't know if he was talking to himself or deliberately letting you hear it."

"He said that if one wants to unleash the power of the Wind Scythe secret technique, one must obtain the horn of the monster Wind Scythe. In today's secular world, the Wind Scythe clan is probably completely extinct, and there is only a corpse hidden in the imperial tomb of the previous lord."

Jiang Xinghuo was stunned when he saw the game copywriting. He wondered if this grandson was setting a trap for him and deliberately tricking him into going to the imperial mausoleum to die? ?
Jiang Xinghuo felt that this was very possible. Otherwise, why would the other party give him the "Secret Technique of Wind Scythe"? Wasn't it just to arouse his curiosity?

But unfortunately, I am an exile cursed by the secular world, and death is just a common occurrence.

"Do you want to learn this secret technique of the wind sickle?"

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"This secret technique does not leave any hidden dangers. You can learn and practice it without worry."

Seeing the text prompt, Jiang Xinghuo was a little surprised. Tathagatagarbha has this function?
Or has Tathagatagarbha been upgraded again? ?

Jiang Xinghuo scrolled through the game text and saw that when he obtained the method of seeing through walls, the level of Tathagatagarbha showed an increase of +2.

At that time, he was only concerned with the description of the insight across the wall, so he did not care about that sentence. He thought that this was also a new function of the Tathagatagarbha.

In fact, Jiang Xinghuo has always been somewhat wary of the Tathagata relic. When exploring Longmen, the fortune teller left a message: The Tathagata relic is strange and cannot be trusted completely.

Although Jiang Xinghuo didn't take it too seriously, he still planted the seeds of doubt.

But he couldn't just throw the baby out with the bathwater. Regardless of whether there was a problem with the Tathagatagarbha, at least there had been no mistakes so far.

Moreover, it was a meaningless sentence and he had no room for follow-up actions, so he could only put it aside for the time being.

If there really are problems in the future, it won’t be too late to deal with them. As for now... Tathagatagarbha is still his greatest help.

"You used the text of the Wind Scythe Secret Technique."

"You have mastered the secret technique of the wind sickle."

After the game text flashed, Jiang Xinghuo had some more memories in his mind. The cyclone circulated on his palm and soon turned into a high-speed rotating wind blade.

This actually complements the Lung Nourishing God's talent for controlling the wind, but if there is a chance in the future, I still have to get the Wind Scythe Horn.

Anyway, the structural map of the imperial mausoleum is still in his hands, so it would save him some effort than others if he wanted to get in.

He found that thing in the file library of the Ministry of Industry when he was exploring Peking.

Because of some other things at that time, I didn’t go to explore the imperial tomb, but now I can go and take a look.

"After the spy from the Sticky Pole Department recovered a little from his injuries, he wanted to leave the cave and find a safe place to recuperate."

"Do you want to stop him?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought that he must stop this person as he still had something to ask.

"You stopped a spy from the Sticky Pole Office who was about to leave, and asked him where the village was that nearly killed him."

"The spy at the Sticky Pole Office had flickering eyes and vague words, as if he had some reservations."

"You just took out the evil star bite, put it on the opponent's neck, and gave him two choices."

"Either I tell you the location of the village honestly, or I cut off all his meridians and let the wild beasts in the mountains eat him alive."

"The spy from the Sticky Pole Department was afraid that you would kill him, so he told you the location of the village unwillingly."

"You have obtained the map of Fox Ridge Coffin Village."

"There are no living people in that village. In every room, there is a black wooden coffin, and inside each coffin lies a human-shaped fox corpse."

"The spy from the Sticky Pole Department knows that there are secrets and treasures in that village. He wants to find a few people to explore it together after he has fully recovered from his injuries. That's why he is unwilling to tell you where the village is."

"Now that you know the information you want, you can let the spies from the Sticky Pole leave the cave. The Fox Ridge Coffin Village is not close to Wufu Town. Even if you ride a horse, it will take three or four hours to get there."

"What are your plans next?"

"Will you go to Longxiantan for investigation, or return to Wufu Town to find a place to rest, or travel to Fox Ridge Coffin Village overnight?"

"Please select where you want to go:"

The game gives three options: Longxiantan, Wufu Town, and Fox Ridge Coffin Village.

Jiang Xinghuo first ruled out Fox Ridge Coffin Village. He had not finished exploring the map of Wufu Town, and he had not been to Ambergris Pond either. There was no way he would abandon these two places and explore another one.

As for which one to choose between Longxiantan and Wufu Town, it was not difficult for Jiang Xinghuo to make a decision.

Now that they have come to the mountain, how can they go back? Let's go straight to the Ambergris Liver.

"You chose to go to Ambergris Pool."

"On the way, please wait..."

"..."

"You have arrived at the Dragon's Saliva Pond." "The Dragon's Saliva Pond is a pool of water deep in the mountains outside Wufu Town. It is said that a dragon once slept here, and the dragon's saliva flowed into the water, making it spiritual."

"Also, this pond water is strange. Even though it is in broad daylight and there are heavy winds, frost, rain and snow, the water is still crystal clear without any impurities or foreign objects. Moreover, the water contains a strange fragrance. After ordinary people drink it, not only will their chronic illnesses be cured, but their physical condition will also be improved."

"However, it only works for the first time drinker. Drinking it again will have no effect."

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You have discovered the secret hidden in this pool of water. There is actually ambergris in the water."

"This ambergris is not a secretion from whales, but the saliva left by real dragon creatures. After merging with the lake water, it forms a pool of water with magical medicinal effects."

"And you are no stranger to that dragon creature. It is none other than the Molong A-Tai that you have raised."

"You have triggered the treasure-hunting eye talent."

"You looked through the water to the bottom of the pond and found that there seemed to be something shining in the mud at the bottom of the pond, but it was blocked by the mud and the water, so it was not very clear. Do you want to pick it up?"

Is there really an unexpected gain?
"You took out the corpse-retrieving net blessed by the river god from your magic bag, and then cast the net into the river, hoping to retrieve the object."

"After a while, the corpse-retrieving net trembled slightly, as if it had caught something. Do you want to retract the net?"

"You chose to close the net."

"You pulled the body-recovering net back and felt the resistance from the water, and you quickly pulled the net out of the pond."

"You pulled in the net and took a closer look. You found that you had actually pulled up a body. The body's eyes were empty and its face was filled with fear, as if it had seen something terrible."

"And you noticed that the five fingers of the corpse's right hand were clenched very tightly. Do you want to pry them apart and take a look?"

"You pried open the corpse's right hand and found that it was holding two intact eyeballs in its fist. You could even see the nerves and tendons on them."

"You have found the body of a Qing Nang Gong follower."

"Judging from the way the corpse was dressed, it must have been a disciple of Qing Nang Gong when it was alive."

"There are Qing Nang techniques in the world, and there are many Feng Shui mysteries. They are all crazy people who study numerology and Feng Shui. In order to pursue the essence of numerology, they often violate the taboos in numerology and Feng Shui, and do not hesitate to go against the will of heaven and change people's fate. They just want to learn the mechanism of destiny from retribution and peek into the mysteries that they cannot bear."

"There are usually only two possible endings for them: either they fall into an unbearable madness, or they suffer from all kinds of calamities and injuries, and finally die a miserable death, lying dead on the streets."

"Do you want to touch the body?"

"You searched the body and found a fragment of a letter. Because it was soaked in the water for too long, most of the words were blurred and could not be seen clearly."

"However, you noticed that this letter mentioned a place name many times, that is Fox Ridge Coffin Village, which is the same place mentioned by the spy from the Sticking Rod Office."

Jiang Xinghuo frowned slightly. It was this Fox Ridge Coffin Village again.

It seems that place does hide a lot of secrets, and one or two of them are related to that place. I have to go and take a look if I have the chance.

"You continued to check other things and found an intact Qingxie sword and a torn and damaged volume of 'Divination of Ominous and Lucky Events'."

"Qingxie Sword (rare item), one of the twelve Feng Shui instruments of Qingnang Gong, has the effect of finding dragons, calming veins, breaking evil and exorcising evil spirits."

"At dawn, there was a great battle between Qing Nang Gong and Kan Yu Gong. Afterwards, both of them disappeared from the secular world. No one saw them alive, and no one saw their bodies dead. The Feng Shui tools were also scattered in the secular world, and somehow they fell into the hands of this Qing Nang believer."

"The method of fortune-telling (incomplete) (excellent technique), the method of fortune-telling passed down by Qing Nang Gong, there is no need to hold a forum to ask for divination, just pinch your fingers and think, you can tell good or bad luck, but because this method is incomplete, only the superficial part is left, so it is impossible to calculate the specific source of good or bad luck, you can only roughly predict good or bad luck, and it can only be used three times a day."

"Do you want to learn this divination method?"

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"This technique will not have any effect on you..."

"You chose to learn this method of divination."

"You have mastered the method of divination."

There is no need to explain the literal meaning of divination. Jiang Xinghuo first simply tried the specific effect. As soon as he thought about it, a feeling immediately emerged in his heart.

lucky!!

This is a feeling that is difficult to explain. Although it is not expressed specifically, Jiang Xinghuo can feel this fortune.

Quite interesting.

Jiang Xinghuo thought that if the store could no longer be run, he could do a live broadcast to tell fortunes and luck, and probably make a living.

However, it is best to have a complete method. An incomplete version may easily make people think you are a liar.

"What are you going to do with the body of this Qing Nang Gong believer?"

"You chose to bury this body. I don't know what it saw that caused it to dig out its own eyes."

"You buried the bodies of the Qing Nang Gong followers."

"You have received the gratitude of the dead soul of this corpse. It has left some things in Fox Ridge Coffin Village. This is the reward for your burial."

"Just remember one thing, you must not stay in the village after dark, otherwise you will encounter bad luck, even if you die, you must die outside! !"

Is it so evil?
After reading the description, Jiang Xinghuo became more and more interested in the Fox Ridge Coffin Village. He didn't know what secrets were hidden in the village.

"Do you want to continue fishing?"

"You once again cast the corpse-retrieving net blessed by the river god into the river, hoping to salvage something from under the mud."

"But you find that no matter how hard you try, you can't get that thing out."

After Jiang Xinghuo tried it several times, the text that popped up did not change at all. It just repeated the above paragraph, and nothing was fished out of the mud.

"I don't believe it anymore..."

Seeing that the corpse-recovering net was useless, Jiang Xinghuo took out the Dragon King's Taoist soldiers from his magic bag and directly controlled the character to part the waves and bring up the things under the mud at the bottom of the pool.

"You parted the water and mud at the bottom of the pond, controlled the water flow to form a big hand, and picked up the thing."

"You have obtained the ambergris."

"Ambergris (rare material). When a dragon survives three calamities and is about to transform into a dragon, the saliva it sheds has a chance to turn into ambergris."

"This is also the origin of the birth of Molong Atai. Legend has it that after ambergris absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, it will turn into a piece of ambergris stone. After a long period of transformation, it will give rise to a strange life form."

"Although he doesn't have the powerful fighting power of Tianlong, he has extraordinary recovery ability and an immortal body."

"Do you want to give this ambergris stone to Molong Atai to swallow?"

"This kind of ambergris is a treasure that doctors dream of. It is also an essential medicine for refining many elixirs. It can even attract the attention of the Medicine King. Do you want to sell it?"

Two options, keep it or sell it.

After keeping it, it will be given to Mo Long A Tai to use to improve Mo Long A Tai's Taoism and abilities, which will also be of certain help to myself.

But if you sell it, you might get a return far exceeding the value of the item itself.

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and finally decided to stay to improve Molong A'tai's Taoism.

Although doing so would be a loss, selling it would not necessarily be a profit. Those old guys are full of tricks and it is too tiring to deal with them.

The little things we raise at home are more considerate and don’t have so many hateful and cunning thoughts.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo called out Molong A Tai. The emerald green little dragon cub lay in the palm of his hand, rubbing his fingertips affectionately.

"Little guy, this is for you..."

The palm of Jiang Xinghuo's right hand flashed, and the ambergris appeared in his hand. It looked like an emerald green crystal, crystal clear, with a faint shadow of a dragon swimming around.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the ambergris in his hand and placed it next to Molong A'tai. The little guy's eyes lit up and he immediately went over and perched on the ambergris, and the ambergris stone also shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

From a fist-sized crystal stone, it gradually became as big as a tennis ball, then shrank to the size of a duck egg, and finally became as big as a ping-pong ball before completely disappearing without a trace.

The little dragon cub, emitting pure vitality, lay in Jiang Xinghuo's palm, drowsy, surrounded by emerald green light.

Jiang Xinghuo flipped his palm and Molong Atai disappeared. At the same time, new message came from his mobile phone.

"Your Molong Atai swallowed the essence of ambergris and fell into a deep sleep, but when it wakes up, its life level will undergo a new transformation."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the text with a satisfied smile on his face. Good things should be given to one's own children. Giving them to others would be a real waste.

"Where are you going next?"

"Are you planning to go to the mysterious Fox Ridge Coffin Village, or return to Wufu Town to find a place to rest?"

"You made your choice. Return to Wufu Town."

"At this time, Wufu Town was completely silent, and darkness enveloped every corner of the town."

"Go to the place you have found in advance and prepare to have a good sleep. If there is anything, you can wait until tomorrow to deal with it."

"I never thought..."

.........

I wanted to finish with 4,000 words, but then I thought 4,000 was too little, so I delayed it a little bit, 8,000 words
