My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 442: Resentful Corpse

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the newly acquired mission clue and found it to be an unexpected surprise.

According to the description in the game text, Master Fu Shuai Bao Yun is also an old antique and should have hidden a lot of good things.

Unfortunately, the game text does not specify the specific location of the cave, only saying that it is somewhere in the ruins of the old world in Jiangnan Road.

It seems that finding the cave treasure left by the other party is not a particularly easy task.

As for who had done something to the surface of the cave map on the wall, Jiang Xinghuo knew without hesitation that it must be the Queen Mother of Heaven.

As the saying goes, one monk carries water to drink, two monks lift water to drink, and three monks have no water to drink.

It is estimated that these ancient powerful beings will not be of one mind and must have their own calculations. Unless something has a particularly big impact on them, perhaps they will form an alliance for a short time.

For example, how to maintain one's position above all others, and how to nip future threats in the bud.

Jiang Xinghuo was not too worried about them. To put it bluntly, he was now just a little Karami. He looked noisy, but if he faced those real strong men, he would probably not be able to match them.

At the very least, he had to reach the level of a master before he could have contact with those dark bosses hidden in history.

And the interactive options he triggered next also proved that it was the Queen Mother of Heaven who was behind this.

"You have obtained the cave map left by Immortal Master Fu Shuai Bao Yun, but just when you were about to leave this small temple, you suddenly found a red silk handkerchief in a dark and damp corner. There was an exquisite "囍" character embroidered with gold thread on it. Do you want to pick it up?"

Any unexpected gains?
Seeing the prompt in the game text, Jiang Xinghuo chose to pick up without thinking too much, and went over to pick up the handkerchief.

"You have obtained the wedding veil of the Queen Mother of Heaven."

"The wedding scarf of the Queen Mother of Heaven (rare material), a gift bestowed by the Queen Mother of Heaven to newlyweds. It can bless the newlyweds with a harmonious and happy married life. It can also be used as a material for forging and strengthening weapons. It also has the effect of polluting immortal Buddha's magic."

"You shook off the wedding veil, but the wedding evil within the veil was washed away to ashes, leaving only a few bone fragments stained with evil spirits."

"You are dead."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the game text speechlessly, thinking what kind of luck is this? It was such a good start, but he didn’t even leave a complete corpse. That was really unlucky.

However, getting the cave map left by Immortal Master Fu Shuai Bao Yun is also a big gain. When I go back to explore Jiangnan Road, I have to find a way to find this cave and see if it can provide any benefits.

"You activated the talent effect of the scapegoat and woke up in the dilapidated Ridge Temple."

"You have come to that fork in the road again. Where do you plan to go next?"

"The path on the right is haunted by a toad spirit. The path on the left has already been explored. The only thing left is the path you took when you came here. Do you want to go over there and explore it carefully?"

"Or do you want to explore the other two paths again?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the text and thought about it. He definitely couldn't do anything about the Toad God at the moment. If he went there, he would probably die. He could only put it aside for the time being and deal with it later.

There is no need to bother with the road on the left, so just choose the path in the middle and explore this part of the map now so that you can go to other places.

"You chose to explore the path in the middle."

"You walked out of the village along the same path you came from, and entered those houses to explore."

"But unfortunately, you didn't find anything valuable. Perhaps because no one has lived in these houses for a long time, the foul air in these houses is extremely heavy. After you walked around in them, you developed a lot of rashes and boils on your body."

"Fortunately, you triggered the effect of the dead tree coming back to life in time. The poisonous sores disappeared in a short while. Do you want to continue exploring?"

Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a while, took out a germ collection bottle from the magic bag, and then clicked to use it immediately.

"The Germ Collection Bottle (rare item) is a vessel forged by combining a variety of items for collecting and storing germs and toxins. It can not only separate bacteria and viruses by category, but also maintain the activity of bacteria and viruses. They will not become ineffective due to the passage of time. In addition, it can automatically infer the chemical formula of the antidote for the virus based on the collected toxins and germs."

This item was forged by Jiang Xinghuo from the Taoist master Shen Ji Bai Lian, by integrating several pathogen collection vessels he had. It was upgraded and forged into a new magical weapon, and it also has the new function of deriving antidotes.

Theoretically speaking, any pathogen collected in this bottle can be deciphered by the collection bottle and restored into a perfect antidote.

Jiang Xinghuo equipped the game character with this item, and then controlled the game character to collect the turbid air.

"You have successfully collected Huxian pathogens, +5."

"You have successfully collected the yellow fairy pathogen, +3."

"You have successfully collected the Gray Fairy pathogen, +4."

Jiang Xinghuo's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that these turbid air could actually be collected in the bottle.

If we can find the antidotes to these pathogens, we won’t have to be so cautious when facing these three kinds of pathogens in the future.

At this point, he had explored the village thoroughly, got what he needed, and knew all the secrets he needed to know.

However, there are also many things that are limited by the perspective of words, or some other unknown reasons, and he has not discovered them yet, like the secret of the pavilion where the Toad God is. But there is still a long time in the future, and a day or two will not make a difference. He can just come back when he becomes stronger.

"After you leave this Fox Ridge Coffin Village, where do you plan to go next?"

"Should I return to Wufu Town to continue the unfinished Medicine King Trial, or should I go to the Tomb of the Mountain God deep in the Greater Khingan Range to accept the test left by the Mountain God?"

"Of course, you can also choose to explore other places. Although you are carrying the curse of the secular world, as long as you are willing, no one can stop you."

The game gives three options: the first is to return to Wufu Town, the second is to go to Daxinganling, and the third is to go to other places.

Jiang Xinghuo thought for a moment. The Medicine King Trial in Wufu Town would not be completed in a short time. It was very troublesome. If he went back, he would waste a lot of time.

There is no need to rush about the matters at the Ridge God's Tomb. The test from the Ridge God is not that easy. The game text makes it very clear that once you enter the Ridge God's Tomb, you cannot escape life or death.

It's not like a normal map. If you die in it, you can resurrect at any time in a lit shrine.

If you die in the Tomb of the Ridge God, even if you are resurrected you will be resurrected inside the tomb. Unless you pass the test and become a new Ridge God, you will be trapped there forever.

Although Jiang Xinghuo was a little wary of this, he didn't take it too seriously.

He has now formed a remains and can place his own consciousness inside the remains. In this way, even if he is trapped inside, it doesn't matter. At worst, he can just abandon the remains and it won't cause any obvious impact on himself.

But doing so would be a bit of a waste, so Jiang Xinghuo plans to wait until his strength improves and he is more secure before going to the Tomb of the Ridge God.

Then there is only one last option, which is to go to other places to explore. Jiang Xinghuo opened the map panel and took a look.

It shows the places he has opened up or found relevant clues to, but has not yet explored.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the calendar on the wall. There were still about seven days until the full moon night. For the time being, there was no clue about Qianjie Village. (There was a typo in the previous part. I wrote Wanjie Village in three places. Please correct it. Sorry!)

It's just right. I can take advantage of the free time these days to explore the Fire Lord City.

When he was in the ghost market in Peking, he accidentally obtained a fragment of a map with the name of Huojun City marked on it, which might be related to the Fire God City in ancient times.

Jiang Xinghuo planned to go over and take a look, maybe he could find some clues about Vulcan City.

"You are ready to leave here and go somewhere else. Please choose your destination."

"You chose to go to Fire Lord City."

"On the way, please wait..."

"You took out the Dragon God sedan chair to speed up your journey."

"We are still moving. We are expected to reach our destination, the ruins of Huojun City, in about five hours."

"Fire Lord City is a city that has long been abandoned. During the war between the ghosts and gods, Fire Lord City was destroyed in the chaos of war. Countless citizens in the city were killed and injured. In the end, it evolved from a populous city to the ruins it is today."

"It is said that every night, people can hear tragic cries coming from the ruins. The strong yin energy has turned it into a forbidden area."

"However, this extremely harsh forbidden place of death has also attracted many unorthodox masters, so the seemingly deserted ruins contain countless dangers."

"Are you sure you still want to go to Fire Lord City to explore?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation. Since he had made the choice, he would not regret it.

Afterwards, the game entered a semi-idle state, and Jiang Xinghuo lay on the bed with his eyes closed, waiting for the prompt that the game had reached the destination.

He also used divination to deduce that he would not encounter any trouble on the road.

Just like that, time passed by minute by minute.

Jiang Xinghuo also fell asleep unknowingly. Even in the middle of the night, when the game sent a notification that he had arrived at the destination, Jiang Xinghuo did not open his eyes. He just fumbled to exit the game. He thought he could deal with everything else tomorrow and went to sleep because he was tired.

The next morning.

Jiang Xinghuo opened his eyes with full energy, then took the phone next to him, opened the game and logged into his account.

"You have arrived at Fire Lord City."

Last night, the game sent a new message notification, but Jiang Xinghuo was in a daze and simply quit the game without getting up to continue playing.

"You open your eyes, the sun shines on the body beside you, and the earth has ushered in another beautiful day full of turmoil and strife."

"It turns out that last night, you were sleeping with a pillow under the ruins of the city wall, and a drug addict passing by wanted to take your clothes and exchange them for money."

"But who knew that this greedy guy accidentally opened your germ collection bottle, and hundreds of viruses instantly overwhelmed him."

"Plus, after a night, the corpse has already decayed beyond recognition and is covered with all kinds of horrible pustules and blood blisters. What are you going to do with this corpse?"

"Although this corpse looks hideous and disgusting, it is contaminated by hundreds of rare bacteria and is a rare research material. Those coroners and corpse drivers should like this kind of thing very much."

Doesn’t Jiang Xinghuo understand this? The game text clearly states it.

Without thinking much, he hung the body on the niche. Soon it was bought by someone and he earned 500 incense sticks.

"Where are you planning to go next?"

"The ruins of Fire Lord City are right before our eyes. Although the sun is rising, the city is filled with fog. We can vaguely see many figures staggering behind the fog."

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You have discovered the resentful corpse."

"Grudge Corpse (Special), a kind of monster born from resentment. Because the resentment in their hearts is difficult to dissipate after death, they transform into this kind of grumpy corpse. They often linger in the fog and attack pedestrians entering the city."

"Do you want to enter the city?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the game text and chose yes without hesitation. All the storms had passed, so why should he be afraid of these zombies?

"You walked into the Fire Lord City. After sensing the presence of living people, the resentful corpses lingering in the mist came over and surrounded you."

"However, just when they were about to attack you, they seemed to sense something, and the resentment in their hearts drove them to kneel on the ground and kowtow to you repeatedly."

"You have triggered the Kitchen God's prayer cauldron."

"Inside the prayer cauldron, the charcoal is burning, the firewood is blazing, like a spreading root system, extending the power of countless people's wishes."

"You have successfully opened the Prayer Cauldron again."

A prompt message came from the game, and Jiang Xinghuo noticed a red exclamation mark appeared in the prayer menu bar below.

Click to take a look.

The wishes that appeared on the screen were surprisingly the same, all of which were the desire to be free from resentment.

Could it be the wish made by these resentful corpses? ?
Jiang Xinghuo suddenly understood that these wishes were probably made by those resentful corpses in the Kitchen God Temple before they fell into complete confusion.

Therefore, the power of the Prayer Cauldron can be felt and then displayed before him.

Jiang Xinghuo decided to give it a try first, so he exited the prayer interface, opened the skill panel, found the Kitchen God Fire and chose to use it.

"A golden-red fire ignited in your palm, wrapping the body of a resentful corpse in it. However, instead of resisting, a smile of relief appeared on its rotten face."

"You killed the resentful corpse, x1."

"You have received a vow."

"You have fulfilled the wish that the Kitchen God's followers made before they died, and freed him from the boundless sea of ​​resentment and suffering."
