My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 470: Relics of the Old World

"You chose to continue exploring."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the bronze tiger talisman in his hand and felt somewhat surprised. He did not expect to find such an ancient bronze object in this iron box.

I don’t know whether this tiger talisman is a product of the current secular world or the previous secular civilization.

Jiang Xinghuo quickly got the answer to this question. The following game text information just answered his question.

"This bronze tiger talisman was found by the Spiritual Officer under the tiankeng. It is suspected to be a magical tool left over from the last secular civilization. As long as it is placed on the bronze beast plate, an underground palace can be opened."

"Back then, Master Lingguan obtained the Law of Disaster in the underground palace. Afterwards, he hid the bronze beast plate and hid the tiger talisman that opened the underground palace somewhere else."

"Now that you have obtained this bronze-cast ancient tiger amulet, what are your plans next?"

"Are you planning to take the tiger talisman to look for the bronze beast plate, or are you planning to get out of here before the situation gets worse?"

There are still two options: find the bronze beast plate and leave the cliff tiankeng.

Jiang Xinghuo would definitely not give up, but chose to look for the bronze beast plate.

"You chose to look for the bronze beast plate."

"You held the bronze tiger talisman in your hand, and you felt a force in your heart that seemed to be guiding you to a certain place."

“Will you follow the guidance of this power and head to the unknown place where the power comes from?”

Jiang Xinghuo chose to go directly. Since he had already made the decision in his heart, there was no need to think about it anymore. He could just rush there and it would be over. The worst that could happen was just his life.

"You chose to follow the guidance of that power and walked towards the unknown land in the darkness. It seemed that because of the effect of the bronze tiger talisman, the Earth Mother hiding under the tiankeng did not attack you again. Instead, she curled up in the darkness, constantly inhaling and exhaling the Yin energy emitted by the earth veins, as if she didn't see you at all."

"You walk forward in the darkness, and you can see some ferocious phantom figures in the shadows, but behind those phantom figures, there is a little golden-red light. A dozen or so palm-sized paper figures hold hands and spin around a stone tablet like dancing. Golden-red patterns flash on their bodies, and they make babbling sounds, as if they are children playing."

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You discovered that there is a mystery in those paper figures. They are not simple talisman paper figures, but an extremely ancient formation in Taoism that can dissolve all the resentment in the world."

"Do you want to come closer and take a closer look?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes, controlled the character to walk over, and a new text message popped up.

"You came to the stone tablet and carefully observed the inscription on it. It turned out to be the last words left by Master Lingguan."

"According to the inscription, Master Lingguan mistakenly entered the ruins of the old world under the Earth Mother Cave, and found the Yin Vein hidden in the cave, gaining the power of the Law of Disaster. But at the same time, he discovered that the evil spirit and hostility in this Yin Vein had accumulated to a peak and could erupt at any time."

“By then, not only will the entire Qianjie Village be destroyed, but the entire secular world will also be affected by the overwhelming evil spirit and hostility, causing the world to become a chaos, all living beings to suffer, and it will become a sea of ​​blood and corpses.”

"Master Lingguan will not sit idly by, but he alone cannot dispel the evil aura that has existed for tens of millions of years, so he invited his senior brother, the old Tianshi, the master of the secular Taoist sect, to come."

"The two brothers worked together to set up the Great Crossing Immortal Array here, hoping to use the power of the array to dissolve the evil spirit and hostility contained in this Yin Vein. They also found a way to refine the Yin Vein's evil spirit in the Naihe Bridge Laboratory."

"Unfortunately, this method is not perfect. In order to perfect this technique, the old master returned to the mountain and began to close himself off."

"Countless years have passed, and the old master has never appeared in front of the world again. No one knows whether he is alive or dead now."

"However, because too much time has passed, the power of this formation has gradually weakened, and it can no longer suppress the evil spirit in the Yin Meridian."

"If you can find some mermaid oil from the South China Sea in the secular world and pour it under this stone tablet, this Immortal Crossing Formation can last at least a hundred years. Otherwise, within a year, the formation will completely lose its effectiveness, and the evil spirit and hostility in the Yin Meridian will sweep across the entire secular world."

"Do you want to use the mermaid oil to water this stone tablet?"

Two options, yes or no.

After reading the description in the text, Jiang Xinghuo thought it was really a coincidence. If it was something else, he might not have it.

But there happened to be more than half a jar of mermaid oil left, and there was no great use in keeping it for the time being, so I might as well pour it under this stone tablet.

While Jiang Xinghuo was thinking about this matter in his mind, he opened the inventory, found the mermaid oil, and finally clicked to use it.

This was the material he got in Baila Village, and it came in handy today.

"You have lost, mermaid oil-1."

"You poured the mermaid oil in your hand under the stone tablet. The oil with an alluring aroma was instantly absorbed, leaving no trace of residue on the ground. The paper figures that kept spinning also glowed with golden light, and even their laughter became louder than before."

"The Immortal Crossing Formation has absorbed the power of the mermaid oil. It can last for at least another hundred years. During this period of time, this Yin Meridian will be in a balanced state and will not be agitated at all."

"At this time, you found that there seemed to be something glowing under the loose soil next to the stone tablet. It seemed to be a treasure. Do you want to pick it up?"

"You went over and picked up that treasure, and it turned out to be a jade talisman with the old Heavenly Master's cloud scroll engraved on it."

"You have obtained the Heavenly Master Jade Talisman."

"The Jade Talisman of the Heavenly Master (special item) is made of nothing special. It is just the most common jade in the secular world, but it is engraved with the Taoist ancestor Heavenly Master's inscriptions. It can not only protect the house and settle down, but also is a symbol of status. From the Heavenly Master to the great elders and ordinary disciples, everyone can be dispatched at will with this jade talisman."

"Note: Although this jade talisman can mobilize the disciples of the Dao Sect, if you do something too extreme, they will not serve you wholeheartedly, so you must be careful in everything to avoid getting into trouble."

"This jade talisman is a token that the old Heavenly Master deliberately left here. If someone comes here after him and maintains the effect of this formation according to the description on the stone tablet, then they can get this jade talisman. It can be regarded as some token of the old Heavenly Master's kindness to the people who come after him."

"Do you want to continue exploring?"

Jiang Xinghuo obtained a jade talisman, put it into his magic bag, and then chose to continue looking for the bronze beast plate.

"You hold the bronze tiger talisman in your hand, follow the guidance of an unknown force, and walk into the darkness."

"Not long after you walked, you suddenly felt the bronze tiger talisman in your hand getting slightly hot, and the ancient patterns engraved on it also emitted a faint golden light. The ground in front of you gradually cracked, and an ancient stone platform emerged from the cracks, with a round plate like a bronze mirror on it."

"You have found the bronze beast plate." "Although this bronze beast plate has been buried underground for a long time and is covered by a thick layer of patina, you can still vaguely see its exquisite craftsmanship. Last year, it was engraved with worldly beasts, and in the middle is a groove that is exactly the same as the mark on the tiger talisman."

"Do you want to put the tiger talisman into that groove?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation.

"Walk to the bronze beast plate, split the tiger talisman in your hand into two, and gently place the half that matches the groove into the hole."

"The tiger talisman seemed to merge with the beast disk, and the entire tiankeng began to vibrate. Soon, a narrow, winding, illusory path appeared under my feet, extending forward into the unknown darkness."

"You have triggered the Six Heavenly Demon Eye."

"The dim and dirty eyes suddenly opened between your brows. Through the vision of the Six Heavens Ghost Eyes, you saw things in the darkness that could not be perceived by the naked eye."

"You see an ancient and magnificent building at the end of this path. Do you want to walk up to it?"

After Jiang Xinghuo printed the tiger talisman on the bronze beast plate, the game text prompted him that a palace appeared in front of him and asked him if he wanted to go over to explore.

After a little thought, Jiang Xinghuo decided to go and explore. This should be the real secret under the tiankeng.

Lord Lingguan's law of disaster might have been found in this palace, so he had no reason to refuse this matter.

"You chose the past to explore."

“You set foot on that path, but when you look back, you will find that the space behind you has become illusory, as if you have entered another world.”

"You walked along the path towards the main hall in front, and you saw many lonely graves and some scattered and broken bones on both sides."

“But when you want to get closer to those things, you find that no matter how fast you speed up, you can’t get close to those tombs and corpses at all.”

"Do you want to keep trying?"

Jiang Xinghuo tried several more times, but the text that popped up was the same, without any changes, and he couldn't get close to the graves at all.

There was no way, Jiang Xinghuo had to give up this idea and continue walking towards the main hall. Even though he knew that there might be good things in those tombs, he could not violate the rules here due to some special reasons.

"You gave up exploring those tombs and soon came to the end of the path. Looking at the dusty and closed bronze door in front of you, you found a groove mark similar to the bronze beast plate in an inconspicuous place. Do you want to place the remaining half of the tiger talisman in this groove?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes and controlled the character to place the bronze tiger talisman into the groove on the door.

"You have opened the bronze gate."

"The door that had been sealed for who knows how many years slowly opened, and countless evil spirits surged out from behind the door like waves, and even turned into tangible substance, instantly submerging your figure."

"You feel as if you are standing in a mountain of knives. Your body is in excruciating pain, as if you were being cut by a thousand knives. In the blink of an eye, your blood, flesh and internal organs have been washed away by the evil spirit, leaving only a bloodstained skeleton."

"You are dead."

Wow! Seeing the death prompt flashing red on the screen, Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but grin, thinking that it was really a good start, a perfect result! !
"Do you want to activate the effect of the scapegoat?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked up at the time. It was already past ten in the morning. He decided not to open the shop today and finish the plot in the game first.

"You activated the talent of a scapegoat, and used the scarecrow to escape from the evil spirits."

"You hid behind the half-open bronze door, allowing the evil spirit accumulated in the hall to surge wildly. After a quarter of an hour, the hall finally calmed down. The surging evil spirit and hostility were quickly assimilated by the Yin Vein under the tiankeng, making up for its own losses."

"It's all thanks to your pot of mermaid oil that the formation has recovered its former full strength. Otherwise, with such a large amount of evil energy pouring into the Yin Meridian, I'm afraid the formation will not last long and will collapse into nothingness."

"You have discovered the remains of the old world."

"Do you want to enter this palace and find out?"

This time, the game gives three options: entering the palace, leaving here, and destroying the palace.

But the last option surprised Jiang Xinghuo. He didn't understand why the option of destroying the palace appeared.

According to past experience, it is either to enter or not to enter, there is never such an option.

However, Jiang Xinghuo was not so curious as to choose this answer. He had spent so much effort to find this palace. If he really destroyed it, all his work would be in vain.

"You chose to explore inside the palace."

"You walked into this bronze hall that has existed for who knows how many years, but the furnishings inside the hall are somewhat beyond your expectations."

"Because there is nothing in the hall, even on the surrounding walls there is nothing."

"At this moment, you suddenly felt something in the center of the dark, and subconsciously unfolded the burial law in your body. The power of death slowly spread out, and some unknown resonance occurred with this hall."

"At the same time, a crack appeared in the ground in the middle of the hall, revealing a staircase extending downwards. There is a faint light coming out at the end. Do you want to go down and take a look?"

Jiang Xinghuo frowned slightly. Could it be that this hall is related to the laws of tombs?

This was somewhat beyond his expectations. He originally thought that this was related to the Law of Disaster, but later in the laboratory above, he saw clues related to the Golden Law.

Now there is another burial law.

It's really full of twists and turns.

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and decided to go to the basement of the hall to see where the stairs led to.

"You walked to the stairs, and walked down slowly under the faint light..."

The New Year is over, it’s time to get back to normal life. (PS: I moved two jars of meat oil last night. Is there anyone like me?)
