My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 441: Fortune and Luck Immortal Master
"Fuck!!"

"what's the situation?"

The next morning, when Jiang Xinghuo opened his eyes, he found that there was another person on his bed, a person who looked exactly like him! !

The only difference is that there is no life in this "person"'s body, and he looks like a puppet with extremely exquisite workmanship.

Jiang Xinghuo was completely stunned. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. The small pupil of his right eye appeared, shining with divine light, and he looked at the person beside his pillow.

"Nine-Death Cicada Exfoliated Body (Excellent), the molted body derived after mastering the Nine-Death Cicada Secret Art can carry the practitioner's consciousness and abilities, and can also be used as a raw material for refining elixirs."

Through the unique talent of Tathagata, Jiang Xinghuo gained insight into the secrets hidden beneath the surface of this body.

Only then did he understand what was going on. Thinking back to how uncomfortable he felt last night, he thought it must be because of the Nine-Death Cicada.

Jiang Xinghuo picked up his phone again and checked the text records.

After he ate the Jade Cicada's remains yesterday, the game prompted that the Nine-Death Cicada had been successfully upgraded.

But he didn't feel anything unusual at the time, so he didn't take it too seriously. Unexpectedly, a surprise was waiting for him later.

Jiang Xinghuo sucked his teeth. It was just that he had a strong psychological endurance. If someone else came, he would probably be frightened to the point of having some problems.

At the same time, game text popped up on the phone.

"The body of a cicada that has been shed after nine deaths: 1/7."

"Current state: entry level."

"The Nine Deaths Cicada can maximize the potential of living organisms, and one can even become truly immortal with this secret technique."

"Although the Nine Deaths Cicada you practiced is an incomplete mental method, it can still form seven remains, which are no different from the physiological structure of the real body. Even if the real body suffers fatal damage, it can be resurrected through the remains."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the game text and thought that this was a good way to save his life. As long as the remains were not completely destroyed, theoretically they could be resurrected infinitely.

However, things should not be that simple. Reversing life and death is a taboo of the Creator. If one wants to violate this taboo, he will definitely pay some price.

Sure enough, the game text that popped up next proved this point well.

"Although the Nine Deaths Cicada can reverse life and death, it also violates the taboo left by the Creator. It is a forbidden area set by the Creator for all living beings in the secular world. No one is allowed to cross the line and touch it. Since you want to gain relevant power from it, you must be prepared to bear the price and disaster of such transgression and folly."

"You have acquired the curse of the mist woman."

"This is the curse caused by you touching the Creator's forbidden zone. This power exists in every corner of the secular world. Under certain conditions, it will infect the parasitic exiles like a virus, and become a guide and signpost for monsters to come to the other side of the starry sky."

"The Golden Rule cannot remove this curse either, because your transgression and foolishness violate the purpose of maintaining the order of the secular world, so you can only bear the power of this curse yourself."

"Note: When the demons and monsters come to the world, the curse power will automatically disappear and will not lock the coordinates of the exile place in the starry sky, so you only need to face the demons and monsters that have descended."

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo was too tired to complain. He knew that things were not that simple. It was impossible for all good things to fall on his head.

However, he would not give up practicing the Nine Deaths Cicada technique. Jiang Xinghuo always believed that throwing the baby out with the bathwater was the most foolish thing in the world. Retreating and compromising would never bring peace, but only endless humiliation and beatings. Only an idiot like Tianzi with a lead head would do that.

Jiang Xinghuo is usually quite Buddhist and doesn't care about a lot of things. As long as it's not too excessive, he will just muddle along. It's good for everyone, and it doesn't matter even if he suffers a little loss.

But when facing important things, Jiang Xinghuo will not be confused. If you really treat him as a yes-man, you will be blind.

At this moment, Jiang Xinghuo suddenly felt his skin getting cold, and fog suddenly appeared in the room. The fog became heavier and heavier, and the temperature became lower and lower, until you could hardly see your hand in front of you.

Jiang Xinghuo lowered his head to glance at his phone, then put the remains on the bed into the magic bag. The newly formed remains were now naked, and he didn't want anyone to see it.

At the same time, Jiang Xinghuo also felt a breath suddenly appear, so he immediately looked outside the bedroom, and saw a figure appearing behind the thick fog. The figure was in tattered clothes and his face could not be seen clearly, and was walking towards him slowly.

"Wu Po (Youyi) is a demon born in the mist in the mountains. Whenever she appears, a thick fog will rise around her. Anyone who is enveloped in it will be killed by Wu Po. She has a cold nature and is particularly afraid of fire."

Relevant information about the figure appeared in Jiang Xinghuo's Tathagata vision, and even the related weaknesses were revealed.

"Well, you've paid for it this time..."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the gradually approaching Mist Lady and sat there without moving. With just a wave of his right hand, the golden-red Kitchen God Fire swept out and wrapped the figure of the Mist Lady.

In less than five seconds, the mist lady disappeared without a trace, and the mist in the room gradually dissipated.

"That's it?"

Jiang Xinghuo shook his head and thought that this was too much. After all, he came from far away, so how could he be killed as soon as they met?

At this moment, a kill notification came from the game.

"You succeeded in killing, Wu Po."

"You have obtained, Incense +500."

Jiang Xinghuo was a little surprised to see the amount of incense money coming in. He didn't expect that this mist lady was worth so much. If it weren't for her natural fear of fire, she might have been able to last a little longer.

…………

Half past five in the evening.

After Jiang Xinghuo finished dealing with all the things, he closed the shop door, sat on the sofa and started today's game.

He didn't know if it was because Jiushichan had upgraded, but he didn't feel hungry at all even though he hadn't eaten all day. Instead, he felt more energetic the more he worked. He might as well not have dinner and just focus on playing the game.

"You woke up in the desolate and dilapidated Lingshen Temple. Darkness once again enveloped the village, and a deadly silence filled the entire village."

"You walked out of the Lingshen Temple and came to the three-way intersection again. Where do you plan to go next?"

"Will you choose to go to the deserted path on the left, or choose the avenue you walked when you came in yesterday, or if you don't believe in evil, go to the path on the right and see if you can kill the Toad God?" Jiang Xinghuo chose the path on the right, but the result was still the same, and he wasted his life in vain.

After being resurrected again, Jiang Xinghuo learned his lesson and stopped wasting resurrections. Instead, he chose another path.

"Every failure makes you wiser. After a few deaths, you learn from your failures and become more careful. You know that some things cannot be forced."

"So, you no longer insist on taking the dead end road on the right, but choose to take the small road on the left."

"This road on the left looks very desolate. There are no people in sight. I don't know where it leads to, but the mystery of the unknown is more attractive, isn't it?"

"You walked along the path for an unknown amount of time. Everywhere you looked was dead silent. There were not even a few weeds. When you looked back, you could vaguely see the Lingshen Temple."

"Do you want to go deeper?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation, because according to his past experience, the more bizarre the place, the more secrets it hides and the more benefits one can gain.

Of course, there are naturally many more dangers.

Opportunities and risks often coexist, and they are even the front and back sides of a card. It depends on whether you can seize the opportunity and turn over the side that symbolizes opportunity.

"Greedy adventurer, you choose to go deeper and deeper, but you still don't see the end of the road."

"You've been walking for such a long time, you should have reached the end of the path by now, why are you still wandering around on this road?"

"Maybe you can think of some other ways. In many cases, your eyes can deceive you."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the game text prompt, flipped through his skill panel, found the Six-Day Ghost Eye, and then clicked to use it.

"You opened the Six Heavens Devil Eye between your brows, and a dim and turbid light slowly spread out. Within the field of vision of the Six Heavens Devil Eye, the world in front of you also began to ripple with illusory distortions, and then gradually became shattered..."

"You suddenly realize that you have never walked on this path. You have only been walking around the intersection. The messy footprints on the ground are the evidence."

"Look up and forward again. At the end of the path, you will see a desolate temple. The black door is half-open, as if waiting for you to enter. Do you want to enter?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought that according to the nature of this game, he would not be killed inside if he went forward to enter the temple, right? However, he still chose to go forward to enter the temple.

There is no other way. Since I don't have the strength to crush the source of everything, I can only use my life to die and resurrect repeatedly in exchange for those treasures hidden in danger.

"Greedy man, you finally couldn't resist the greed in your heart and chose to enter the small temple to find out what's going on. I don't know whether this is a blessing or a curse for you."

"Fortunately, you come from a race that is cursed with exile from the secular world. The secular kingdom of death also refuses your entry. So even if you die here, you will have countless opportunities to start over."

"You walk along the path, looking at the small temple approaching, and you have a bad feeling in your heart. You can't help but think back to your past experiences. Is it because you did too many immoral things in the past that you are suffering this retribution?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the last line of text expressionlessly, just thinking that the game was talking nonsense. This guy is so powerful that I don’t even know what he is thinking myself, and you, a crappy copywriter, know it. I must get rid of you if I have the chance. You are sarcastic every day, either urging me to die or setting traps between the lines. Sooner or later, I will let you know how powerful I am.

"You have reached the end of the road, and the gate of the small temple is within reach. However, when you look through the crack in the door, you cannot see anything clearly. Do you want to go into the temple and find out what is going on?"

"If you regret it now, you can still withdraw in time. If you wait until after you go in, I'm afraid it will be too late for you to regret it."

Repent?

That is absolutely impossible!

Jiang Xinghuo chose to go in directly.

"You have lost the chance to leave again. Your greed has blinded your eyes. Now we can only hope for your good luck."

"You pushed open the temple door and walked in, but just as you stepped over the threshold you tripped and nearly fell to the ground. When you looked back you saw that the thing that tripped you was actually a piece of Taishan stone."

"You have obtained the Taishan Stone."

"Taishan Stone Guardian (excellent talisman), a common talisman in Feng Shui tools. Stone Guardian here can kill evil spirits and drive them away. It is also a top-quality stone that can suppress the earth veins and drive away evil spirits. It can be placed anywhere in the home as a Feng Shui tool, or used as a material for forging and strengthening weapons."

Seeing this Taishan Stone Guardian, Jiang Xinghuo immediately thought of the follower of Qing Nang Gong. The other party had also come to this village before, but in the end, not only did he flee in embarrassment, but he also dug out his own eyes...

Did I see something I shouldn’t have seen in this temple?

"You walked into the temple and looked around. You found that the temple was very simple and there were no statues of gods. There were only some things carved on the walls. Do you want to go and take a look?"

"You walked to the wall and found something engraved on it was very strange. It didn't look like words or murals, but it had some special pattern."

"You are gradually attracted by the things on the wall and can't help falling into obsession. Your concentration also attracts the attention of some unknown existence..."

"Your hands also started to lose control, and you dug out your own eyes involuntarily."

"You lost both eyes."

"You lost too much blood and passed out."

"You are dead."

"But before you dug out your own eyes, your Tathagata finally saw through the secrets of those scratches on the wall and learned the secrets hidden beneath the surface."

"You have obtained the clue of Master Fu Shuai Bao Yun."

"Master Fu Shuai Bao Yun is an extremely ancient powerful person in the secular world. He may have existed even longer than the Empress Huang Tian. So long ago that there is no documented record of him in the secular world. We only know that such a person may exist in the world, but no one has ever seen him."

"The marks on the wall of this small temple were left by the other party. It contains a detailed map of the cave heaven, but someone used insidious means to do so. Anyone who sees this map of the cave heaven will go crazy and dig out their own eyes."

"Moreover, this cave map is not in the secular world, but in an old secular relic in Jiangnan Road."

"When you enter the ruins, the cave map will automatically appear and guide you to the place recorded on it."
