My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 448: Burial Law
"You found it, Zangxian."

Jiang Xinghuo discovered the dungeon hidden in the cracks of space through the Six Heavens Demon Eye between his eyebrows.

But he never expected that the person imprisoned in this dungeon was actually the Burial Immortal with whom he had communicated.

It was when he was exploring Coffin Town that he accidentally discovered a wooden tablet for burying immortals and had a few conversations with the immortal through the air.

Jiang Xinghuo remembered that Zangxian had said during the conversation that he was contaminated by the "mad fire" in the Forbidden City.

As a result, the mind is covered with dust, clarity is gone, rationality is no longer there, only pure madness remains, and it is possible to turn into ashes in the madness at any time.

Jiang Xinghuo later used the Immortal Burial Wooden Slip to call out to the other party, but the other party never responded. After trying several times, he no longer insisted and just thought that the Immortal Burial Wooden Slip was burned to ashes by the crazy fire.

Unexpectedly, he accidentally discovered traces of the Buried Immortal in this dungeon devoid of sunlight.

I don’t know if the other person is still alive?

Jiang Xinghuo was thinking about this in his mind when he saw new game text pop up.

"Your arrival seems to have awakened the sleeping Zangxian. A faint firelight lit up, instantly dispelling the surrounding darkness and illuminating the hunched body of Zangxian."

"The insanity has contaminated the original form of life. Although the skinny body can still barely maintain a human form, its structure has completely deviated from the scope of carbon-based life."

"The scorching flames exude a crazy aura, covering the body of the Buried Immortal while also spreading along the ground towards you."

"The existence of Mad Fire has the same origin as the Golden Law, but its power is completely different. Not only will it not protect the sentient beings in the secular world, but it will burn all life in the world to ashes."

"But just as the fire was about to spread, a deadly force suddenly swept out and cleared the forbidden power contained in the fire, without causing any impact on you."

"You have triggered the talent of Tathagatagarbha."

"You have discovered the power of the Law of the Tomb."

"The authority of the laws in the secular world is all-encompassing, but the only thing that can curb the power of the Golden Law and Madness is the Law of the Tomb in the secular world."

"According to some ancient texts, the law of burial was born in the dead silence when all things withered, so it has the mysterious power to bury all things in the secular world."

"In ancient times, there were related rumors in the secular world, saying that the law of burials could not only overthrow the rule of the secular master, but also bury the golden law and the order of the secular master together."

"This rumor was particularly prevalent among the human race that had not yet been exiled. However, until the Lord of the Secular World fell on the night of dawn, the law of burial did not appear in the secular world. Over time, everyone regarded this incident as an illusory legend."

Burial Laws...

Looking at the description of the game text, Jiang Xinghuo checked the previous text records. If he remembered correctly, the laws mastered by the Lord of the Cemetery seemed to be the laws of burial.

At that time, he really didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just an ordinary law. He didn't expect it to be so serious.

Jiang Xinghuo was just thinking about these things when he saw the screen of his mobile phone flash and a new game text popped up.

"You came to the rusty iron bed, but found that Zangxian no longer existed. His actions just now were just his obsession before his death."

"Do you want to touch the corpse?"

Jiang Xinghuo hesitated for a moment, but still chose to touch the corpse.

"You searched the corpse of the buried immortal, but unfortunately, you didn't find anything and had to return empty-handed."

Jiang Xinghuo was not surprised by this. Perhaps a long time ago, Zangxian did have a lot of good things on him.

But after a long time, those things have long returned to dust, not to mention that the Burial Place has been contaminated by the Mad Fire. Even if something could be preserved, it would not be able to withstand the burning of the Mad Fire.

"What are you going to do with the corpse of Zangxian next?"

"Will you choose to bury the body somewhere else, or choose to exchange the body for some incense, or just leave it in the dungeon?"

The game gives three options: bury elsewhere, sell for money, or ignore.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Xinghuo felt that it would be more appropriate to put it here.

This dungeon is located in a space crack and cannot be seen by the naked eye. Even if someone comes here in the future, they may not be able to find the location of the dungeon.

If the remains of the buried immortal were taken away and placed somewhere, there was no telling when they would be dug out.

It would be fine if these were just some monsters in the secular world.

But the buried immortals are not those monsters, but human beings like him, except that they live in the ancient secular world.

It was for this reason that Jiang Xinghuo did not choose to exchange the remains for money, even though doing so could bring in a considerable sum of money.

But how to obtain the fragment of the burial law in the other party's body...

Jiang Xinghuo has no clue for the time being, because he can't trigger the subsequent plot, and can only follow the game text.

"After careful consideration, you decided to leave the corpse of the Immortal Burial in the dungeon to prevent it from being trampled and insulted by other monsters and demons."

"But before you leave here, you should explore the dungeon first. You will find something. You will find a broken immortal burial wood tablet in the corner."

"Broken Immortal Burial Wooden Tablet (special material). The wooden tablet contains a faint law of burial. You can comprehend the power of the law of burial by absorbing the fragments of the law."

"Do you want to integrate the laws of the tomb?"

"You crushed the wooden tablet, and the remaining burial laws on it entered your body and quickly dissolved into your flesh and blood gene chain."

"You have obtained the fragment of the Tomb Law (3.467%)."

"When you encounter other objects that are suspected to contain the laws of burials, the fragments of the laws in your body will give you hints and guide you to find the complete laws of burials."

"This is the legacy that Zangxian left for his people before he passed away."

"He stripped away most of the power of law in his body and stored it on the broken wooden tablets, leaving only a small amount of law in his body to fight against the insanity."

"If any monsters of other races enter this dungeon, they will be burned to ashes by the crazy flames, and their souls will fall into madness and be unable to extricate themselves forever."

"Only the tribesmen from the Land of Exile who come here can find the relics he left behind and gain the power to counter other laws."

"And when you have the power to fight against Mad Fire, you can return to this dungeon and take away the remaining fragments of the law in his body."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the description of the game text and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although this is just a game, the other side is the real world and the game is just a carrier.

It is just a means used by those ancient secular powerful men to guide the race back from exile.

Everything they did was to allow the tribesmen in exile to return to the secular world today.

For this, they paid all the price, even their own long and long lives. At this time, the new game text appeared again.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Now that you have obtained the fragments of the Tomb Law, and you also have the blessing of the Golden Law in your body, do you want to make a concerted effort to integrate all the fragments of the law in the remains of the Buried Immortal into your body?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought for a moment and directly chose yes. Since he had already come here, why bother making trouble?

"You came to the remains of the Buried Immortal, activated the burial laws in your body, and obtained the remaining fragments."

“But without the suppression power of the Tomb Law, the Madness Fire in the Burial Immortal’s body also lost control. In just a moment, the Madness Fire enveloped the dungeon.”

"You have glimpsed the principle of the birth and death of all things in this flame..."

"But because your destiny cannot bear such vast and great knowledge, your soul is also covered by the insane fire, and your clarity and rationality are gone..."

"Your soul has been polluted by the power of the insane fire..."

At the same time, countless miserable and terrifying funeral sounds rang in Jiang Xinghuo's ears, as if the cries and wails of millions of creatures had condensed together.

Fortunately, it was just a momentary illusion, and new information came from the game.

"You have triggered the Golden Rule."

"The golden law in your body has taken effect, devouring the madness fire and eliminating the disaster caused by the madness fire polluting your soul."

"You have obtained Civilization Ashes +3."

Jiang Xinghuo felt his mind suddenly become clear, his ears instantly returned to silence, and all abnormalities completely disappeared.

This situation is not unfamiliar to Jiang Xinghuo.

At the beginning, he met a monster possessed by madness, a usurper immortal, in the Ministry of Justice of Peking City.

Jiang Xinghuo also experienced the feeling of "madness" and the various strange phenomena that occurred are still fresh in his memory.

It was also thanks to the fact that he mastered the power of the Golden Law, otherwise, facing this crazy rage, he would have no ability to fight against it.

Jiang Xinghuo checked his data panel again and found that the completeness of the burial laws had indeed been improved to 5.145%.

However, Jiang Xinghuo remained skeptical as to whether the power of the burial law was as strong as the text said.

It won’t be too late to draw a conclusion until you have a chance to test it in the future.

"The remains of the Zangxian turned to ashes in the crazy fire. You simply used the scrapped firearm parts from outside to forge a coffin. You placed the ashes of the Zangxian inside the coffin and re-sealed the door of the dungeon. It was much thicker than the previous iron door to prevent anyone from coming here to disturb the Zangxian's slumber."

"Now that you have left the bombing zone, where do you plan to go next?"

After looking at the options provided by the game, he had already explored the market square and the bombing area, leaving only the abandoned city lord's mansion unexplored.

Jiang Xinghuo thought to himself that there was no need to waste time, just one spoonful would simmer it, and since he had already been to other places, this last place wouldn't make a difference.

Maybe the Kitchen God could leave some clues in the City Lord's Mansion.

"You chose to go to the abandoned City Lord's Mansion."

"On the way, please wait..."

"You have arrived at the abandoned city lord's mansion."

"Although you had been prepared in your heart, when you came to the street where the City Lord's Mansion is located and saw the City Lord's Mansion, you were still stunned by the scene before you."

"It's such a huge mansion, but its original appearance can no longer be seen. There is only a collapsed ruin. Even if there are clues to the treasure, they are buried under the ruins."

"What are you going to do now?"

"Would you choose to clean up the ruins and see if there are any treasures?"

"Or should we just wander around for a while, then leave here and go somewhere else?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the two options carefully. Don't be ridiculous. If he chooses the first one, it may take him forever to dig. Why not go to the new map instead of taking that time?

"You walked around the ruins of the City Lord's Mansion for several times, but didn't find any useful clues."

"However, just when you were about to leave here, your talent of seeing through walls was suddenly triggered, and you discovered that there seemed to be a mystery under the bricks and stones. It seemed that there was a secret passage covered by rubble. Do you want to go over and explore it?"

Jiang Xinghuo was a little surprised and delighted, and chose to go and dig immediately.

"You used the Five Ghosts Moving Technique to move all the rubble and debris above the secret passage to the mound on the opposite side."

"Do you want to enter the secret passage now?"

Of course he entered, otherwise what would he be here for?

"You used your talent of seeing through walls to find the mechanism at the entrance to the secret passage and successfully entered the secret passage of the City Lord's Mansion."

"The secret passage is completely dark, and the dark and damp steps are filled with all kinds of dangerous traps. Although some of them have become ineffective, most of them remain the same. If you don't have the ability to see through walls and can see through these traps, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to pass through the secret passage."

"After careful exploration, you successfully reached the exit of the secret passage, but the mechanism of the exit has been destroyed. If you want to get out, you can only break the door open by force."

"You used the Turbid Immortal Technique."

This Turbid Immortal Technique is a magic of legendary quality, but in Jiang Xinghuo's hands, it has become a universal key to unlock something.

No matter what kind of obstacle it is, as long as there are bacteria, they can multiply and reproduce rapidly and easily destroy the obstacle, and the door of the secret passage exit is no exception.

"You destroyed the door at the exit of the secret passage and successfully entered the underground secret room of the City Lord's Mansion."

"The secret room is not very big. There is only a table, a chair, and two dusty bookcases."

"Where do you plan to explore first?"

"Go to the table first and take a look. You'll find a lot of ink spilled on it. It must be used frequently. The four treasures of pen, ink, paper and inkstone are also available, but other than that, there's nothing else to see."

"So, you went to touch the dusty bookcase again, and besides a handful of dust, you also found two yellowed handwritten notebooks."

"You have obtained Kitchen God's Notes +2."

"Kitchen God's Notes (Special Item), a note written by Kitchen God in his spare time, which records some of his experiences and some things that happened in Fire God City."

“Note, when you carry this Kitchen God Note, if you meet a person recorded in the note, or interact with a related event, the additional information recorded by the Kitchen God will be displayed in the note.
