My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 478 The Original Maitreya
Looking at the prompts in the game text, Jiang Xinghuo was suddenly overjoyed. He had originally just wanted to give it a try, and he was actually not sure whether he could find the rest of the content here.

Fortunately, his hard work paid off and he finally found the remaining content in Yanshi Pavilion.

However, Jiang Xinghuo noticed that the text showed only fragments, and it was still unknown whether the content recorded on it matched the other half of the autobiography.

Jiang Xinghuo opened the game's inventory, found the fragment of Yanshi's autobiography, and then clicked to use it.

"You have used the fragments of Yanshi's autobiography."

"However, since there are many missing parts on this fragment, the identity of the unexpected guest is not recorded. However, the item that the other party commissioned Yanshi Town to make is clearly recorded on the fragment."

"It turns out that the thing that the mysterious guest commissioned Yanshi Town to build is actually the waxing and waning place that is now hanging in the sky above the secular world."

Looking at the information given in the game text, Jiang Xinghuo appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil.

The waxing and waning land? ?

Jiang Xinghuo subconsciously looked up to the window. The waxing and waning land mentioned in the game text should refer to the moon above his head, also known as the natural satellite of the earth.

But now you are telling me that the moon is a man-made product? It is not a celestial body formed naturally in the universe? ?

In his past gaming experiences, he had also triggered tasks related to the Crescent Moon Land, such as the cry for help coming from the Crescent Moon Land, and the hidden task of the starry sky journey.

Jiang Xinghuo even suspected at one point that the planet corresponding to the back of the moon is actually the folk world on the other side of the mobile phone.

As we all know, because the moon's rotation period is the same as its revolution period around the earth, people on earth can only see one side of the moon forever. This phenomenon is also called tidal locking.

Correspondingly, the side of the moon facing away from the earth can never be directly observed, and no one knows what is on the back.

It all seems as if someone had deliberately designed it. The two sides of the moon correspond to different worlds, as if there was an insurmountable chasm that completely separates the two worlds.

Jiang Xinghuo pursed his lips, opened the game text record, and found the information about his exploration in the Ghost Gate Laboratory.

In the laboratory of Ghost Gate Research Institute, he obtained three legacies from the previous secular civilization.

They are the God-Binding Talisman, the Sky-Peeping Eye, and partial permissions of the Big Dipper Space Array.

"The Beidou Space-Based Array (???), a space-based weapon carried in the orbit of the moon and the Beidou star, can cause a small-scale coverage of destructive strikes on the outer space, the ground, the underground, and the sea surface, and can also summon meteorites to fall from the sky."

"There are talismans and formations on the surface of the space-based weapon launch platform that conceal its aura. All satellites, radars and other electronic equipment cannot effectively observe it."

According to the game text, the Beidou space-based array is a space-based weapon carried on the moon and the Beidou star.

So from a certain perspective, rather than saying that the moon is a special celestial body, it is better to say that it is an artificially built weapons launch platform.

This is somewhat intriguing.

Jiang Xinghuo smacked his lips. It was a pity that the fragment was severely damaged and he didn't know the identity of the mysterious guest. Otherwise, he might be able to find out the other party's true purpose.

Now, he could only make wild guesses in his mind.

There was no more information in the game. He only found this fragment in Yanshi Pavilion, and there was no clue at all about the subsequent autobiographical fragments.

Jiang Xinghuo was stunned for a moment, sighed softly, threw what he found into the magic bag, and stopped thinking about it.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo looked at what he found and called Lei Yibing.

At the beginning, he commissioned the other party to help make some puppets, intending to use them in the wooden man training room. But now there is no need for this. The semi-finished products found in Yanshi Pavilion are enough to maintain the operation of the entire training room.

Soon, Jiang Xinghuo settled the matter over the phone and canceled the considerable order.

Then, Jiang Xinghuo looked at other things.

Many things were found in Yanshi Pavilion, but most of them were related to puppets, either props and materials for making puppets, or the abilities and techniques to manipulate puppets.

Jiang Xinghuo was not very interested in these things, so he simply put them in his magic bag and planned to study them carefully when he had time.

Suddenly, Jiang Xinghuo felt a little uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.

Before he could react, the sky outside suddenly became dark and the entire living room was shrouded in darkness.

The sun does set earlier in this season than in other seasons.

But there is absolutely no reason for it to suddenly get dark at noon. If this happens, it is either because of a total solar eclipse or someone has done something wrong.

Jiang Xinghuo flipped his left hand, calmly took out the evil star bite, counted with his right fingers, and performed the divination method.

Bad luck! !
Jiang Xinghuo was fortune-telling about his luck for the day, but after calculating it twice, both results were bad. In the end, even the water cup on the coffee table exploded.

at the same time.

Tick, tick!
The sound of dripping water echoed around, and a rotten stench spread in the air, accompanied by a strong and pungent smell of blood.

But what made Jiang Xinghuo feel even more strange was that in the living room shrouded in darkness, several swaying black shadows appeared at some point, and were rapidly evolving into human forms, turning into rotten and mutilated corpses...

These swaying corpses looked incomplete, their muscles were rotten and pale, and they were constantly dripping with foul-smelling yellow liquid.
But despite this, these strange and mutilated corpses continued to move towards Jiang Xinghuo, with their rotten limbs stepping on the floor, corpse fluid splashing everywhere, and making typical creaking sounds.

"Are you kidding me?"

Jiang Xinghuo frowned and turned his head to look outside. Deep darkness came into his sight. It seemed that the shop was completely isolated from the outside world.

At this time, the stench emanating from the corpses became more and more strong and pungent. Jiang Xinghuo held the Evil Star Bite in his left hand and swung it. The golden Kitchen God Fire swept out and instantly wrapped up the approaching corpses. The shrill and piercing screams were endless, but Jiang Xinghuo did not show the slightest mercy. Instead, he urged the power of the Kitchen God Fire and quickly burned the corpses to ashes.

But even so, the environment inside the store remained unchanged, as if the lights were not turned on at midnight and only the rough outline of the dark shadows could be seen.

Jiang Xinghuo narrowed his eyes, not daring to be careless at all.

But just as he was about to take out his phone, a hideous knife-mark appeared on his neck without any warning. Blood gushed out in an instant, splashing directly onto the ceiling, and his head rolled to the side.

After the body lost its head, it swayed in place for a while, then turned over and fell on the sofa, and the blood quickly soaked the sofa.

It all happened too fast, without any signs beforehand. Jiang Xinghuo didn't even have the chance to react before he was beheaded.

at the same time.

The door of the folk shop was also pushed open, and a monk in a white robe walked in barefoot from outside. A faint white light emanated from his body, and all the dirty things under his feet were blocked outside.

"Amitabha, I have committed the sin of killing again."

A monk in a white robe walked into the room, clasped his hands together in a salute, he looked like a man with a female appearance, with a look of misery on his face, but one eye was open and the other closed. The eye that was closed was not because it could not be opened or because it did not want to be opened, but because that eye was blind.

"Thus I have heard, once the Buddha was in Trayastrimsa Heaven, preaching to his mother..."

The white-robed monk slowly chanted Buddhist scriptures, as if he wanted to liberate Jiang Xinghuo's soul.

After finishing reciting a volume of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra, he walked to Jiang Xinghuo's body and reached out to take the magic bag from Jiang Xinghuo.

"The donor has this disaster today because he took something he shouldn't have taken. The things left by the devil are not something that mortals can control. The cause in the past is the result today. The cycle of cause and effect will not fail. I hope the donor can reach the paradise soon and escape the suffering of the world."

After saying this, the monk in white turned and walked out.

The darkness around them dissipated like a tide and soon returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. Only the bloody ceiling and the headless corpse on the ground revealed what had just happened.

However, just as the white-robed monk was about to walk out of the shop, a brass chain flew out like a poisonous snake, wrapped his body tightly, and quickly dragged him backwards.

When the monk came to his senses from his shock, he found himself in a deserted mountain, tied to a copper pillar with chains.

Jiang Xinghuo, who should have been beheaded, was standing in front of him unharmed.

"How did you..."

An expression of surprise that was difficult to conceal also appeared on the face of the white-robed monk.

"I'm not dead, am I?"

Jiang Xinghuo's tone was very calm, as if he was chatting with an unrelated person, and there was not a trace of resentment in his words.

"The donor must have used a prop that could replace death, otherwise it would be impossible for him to escape from my sword..."

The white-robed monk sighed and said:
"It seems that man proposes, God disposes. I have been very careful, but I didn't expect that the donor would still notice the clues when I took action. Next time, I will be more careful and try to make the donor die more easily."

Hearing the words of the white-robed monk, Jiang Xinghuo touched his neck with lingering fear. If he had not been careful and taken the substitute pottery figurine with him when he took out the evil star bite, he would have really fallen into the hands of this dead monk.

"A substitute clay figurine (rare item), shaped like a clay figurine. If you use blood to touch its eyes, you can obtain a substitute clay figurine to block death. You can escape and appear anywhere within ten meters of the clay figurine. However, it can only be used once a day."

The moment his head was chopped off, he activated the innate ability of the substitute terracotta figurine, and the headless corpse on the ground was actually the terracotta figurine.

This was also the first time that Jiang Xinghuo used this prop in real life. He didn't expect that the substitute pottery figurine that appeared after activation was exactly the same as his original body.

So Jiang Xinghuo didn't rush to show up, but hid his body in the wind, ready to see who would attack him.

As a result, a big monk came. He kept shouting "Amitabha", but the work he did was very dirty.

As for the other party's purpose, Jiang Xinghuo could guess it almost exactly. They should be coming for the book "The Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method".

At the beginning, they caused a lot of trouble at the exhibition, causing many incidents and hurting many lives.

Later, a monk named Xukongzang came to cause trouble for him. He should be operating a sewing machine in there now. It is unlikely that he will be able to come out within three to five years.

Now, there is another blind monk here, but Jiang Xinghuo is very interested in the identity of this monk.

The Tathagatagarbha opens and small pupils appear.

"Yuan Chu Maitreya (25 years old), after the Living Buddha Yuan Chu Maitreya attained enlightenment, he used the Buddha's Eye to peek into the secret of the flow of time, separated his own practice time from the long river of time, and transformed it into nine avatars at different practice periods. The Taoism and methods mastered by each avatar are also different."

The original Maitreya?

Twenty-five years old? ?

This original Maitreya is a blacklisted cult leader. When Jiang Xinghuo obtained the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method, the original Maitreya also used magic to deduce his whereabouts, but was finally blocked by the law of cause and effect.

I didn't expect that the other party would come in person. Although it was not the real person, but just an incarnation, it was still significant enough.

It was this method of clone that made Jiang Xinghuo very curious. Being able to separate his past self from the long river of history was simply horrifying.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the original Maitreya who was tied to the burning pillar and shook his head, saying, "You won't have a next chance. At least the next time I see you, your incarnation should not appear again."

"Also, what you want is not here. I have already handed it over to the Public Opinion Bureau. I am not stupid enough to keep this hot potato to myself."

Jiang Xinghuo shook the magic bag in his hand.

Having said that, without waiting for the Original Maitreya to react, he activated the power of the Torture Pillar. Fiery flames shot up into the sky, but in the blink of an eye, the Original Maitreya who was tied to it had turned into a piece of charcoal.

His death was so quick and clean, without even a chance to resist, just like when he killed Jiang Xinghuo.

As for whether this original Maitreya would come to trouble him again in the future, Jiang Xinghuo was not sure. Although he said that he had given the thing to the Public Opinion Survey Bureau, God knows whether this original Maitreya would believe it.

Besides, I destroyed one of the other party's incarnations, so the feud has been settled, and it is inevitable that we will have to fight to the death in the future.
