My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 48 The Coffin Maker's Skin
Seeing the prompt given by the game, Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the text and brought the Heavenly Official's Blessing Seal into reality.

The seal is only the size of a fist, with the knob of the seal emblazoned with four mythical beasts. It is jet black in color and made of neither gold nor jade, stone nor wood. It is engraved with bird and beast runes, and eight large characters are carved in seal script at the bottom.

"Blessed by the heavenly officials, there are no taboos..."

Jiang Xinghuo gently stroked the engraving with his fingertips and soon recognized the words engraved on it.

According to the description in the game text, as long as you carry the Heavenly Official Seal with you, you will be blessed and able to ignore many taboos and curses.

Jiang Xinghuo picked up a piece of white paper and wanted to see the specific effect, but found that there was no ink on it at all.

So he started rummaging through boxes and cabinets again, and finally found a box of old ink in an old box. But when he opened it, he found that it had already dried up and cracked and could not be used.

"pity……"

Jiang Xinghuo was a little disappointed.

But at this moment, he suddenly remembered that when he was exploring Funeral Street, he seemed to have found a box of ghost fairy cinnabar in the paper-making shop, which should be able to be used as ink.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo took out the ghost fairy cinnabar from his magic bag, and found a bottle of camellia oil. He mixed the two according to the proportion, and soon, a box of fine and thick red mud was freshly produced.

"It's done!"

Jiang Xinghuo was delighted. He took the Tianguan Seal, dipped it in red mud, and then gently covered the paper.

A red light that was invisible to the naked eye flashed quickly, and the four big words [Heavenly Official’s Blessing, No Taboos] appeared on the white paper.

"Is this the power without any taboos?"

Jiang Xinghuo sensed the breath on the paper, which was like a layer of ethereal mist that isolated all the power outside.

However, due to the carrier, the range of this force is limited, estimated to be only five or six meters.

"This is a good thing for settling down and protecting the house..."

Jiang Xinghuo picked up the seal and stamped the four words "Heavenly Official's Blessing" in every hidden corner of the room.

At this moment, in Jiang Xinghuo's field of vision, the entire folk shop was shrouded in a faint red light. As long as one was inside the shop, no forbidden power could penetrate.

Moreover, the ghost fairy cinnabar will not fade for a hundred years, which means that the effect of the blessing from the heavenly official will also last for a long time.

However, Jiang Xinghuo did not see that in the dark corner outside the folk shop, the body of a mouse was melting rapidly, and soon only a pool of flesh and blood was left.

At the same time, in the McDonald's store on the commercial street, a young man who was eating a hamburger suddenly froze and stopped what he was doing.

"Has it been discovered?"

The young man murmured to himself.

Behind him, a flamboyant shadow appeared, invisible to others. It had blood-red eyes, pointed ears facing the sky, golden armor with fish scales, a Yaksha on the shoulders, a king of heaven protecting the waist, a bunch of green pheasant feathers pointing to the sky, and five large red-gold flags inserted diagonally behind it.

"General Cat (excellent relic), also known as the Cat God, the Rat Subduing General, has a cat's head and a human body, born with supernatural powers. When the people of the country go there, they must pray to decide whether it is good or bad."

"Talent effect: ..."

…………Folk shop.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the gradually fading red light, put away the Heavenly Official Seal with satisfaction, and tore up the white paper to pieces to prevent others from discovering the secret on it.

After doing all this, Jiang Xinghuo looked at the set of [Coffin Maker Skin]. This was the first time he got this type of prop.

“Coffin Maker Skin (Common Item). After loading, the game character’s appearance and identity will be temporarily replaced with ‘Coffin Maker’, and the skill of making coffins and related experience will be automatically obtained.”

"Coffin Maker: A gifted craftsman who can sense a person's life and death, and then tailor a coffin for the deceased. The coffins made by his hands have the effect of comforting the soul of the dead."

“Note: This skin can be realized in reality and can be switched with other skins at any time without affecting any of its own abilities.”

When Jiang Xinghuo saw the last line of text, he felt a little surprised. Judging from the description in the text, loading the game skin is equivalent to obtaining a heritage relic.

However, the skin does not affect the original talent, but the two can be used in combination with each other.

At this time, the game text changed again.

"This is the great invention of the Lord of Heavenly Creations. He once studied various relics circulating in the secular world and found that these relics are all unique. Even if the owner obtains multiple relics, he cannot use their innate abilities at the same time."

"So, the master of Tiangong Kaiwu found another way. Based on the characteristics of the inherited relics, he developed a skin magic weapon that contains various abilities. Only the bloodline of the exile can wear it, and it will not have any effect on the relic's own talents."

"Do you want to load the coffin maker's skin?"

The game popped up a prompt, and Jiang Xinghuo decisively chose to load it.

Along with a tearing sensation of flesh and blood, the coffin maker's skin was loaded silently.

Jiang Xinghuo walked to the mirror and looked carefully at the figure reflected in it.

At this moment, the person in front of him was a young man who looked to be only about twenty years old. His black hair was tied up with a hemp rope, and he wore a black gown embroidered with Taoist runes. However, his skin was pale and blue, without any blood color or temperature.

If I lie there and close my eyes, no one can tell that I am a living person.

"Is this the skin of the coffin maker?"

Jiang Xinghuo sensed it carefully, and perhaps because he had been dealing with dead people's coffins for many years, he only felt a strong aura of death.

It took a long time for Jiang Xinghuo to remove the skin, but he controlled the character in the game and put on the skin.

After changing into new clothes, Jiang Xinghuo was not in a hurry to leave, but looked around the courtyard again to avoid missing any treasures.

"You explored the courtyard for another week, but unfortunately it was empty and you didn't find anything useful."

"But when you walked to the well on the west wall, you found a secret door there. You went forward and broke the lock, pushed the door open and looked inside. It turned out to be the backyard of the Lin family compound."

"This was originally the residence of Master Lin's youngest daughter. Because it was adjacent to the coffin maker's courtyard, the two fell in love with each other over time, so they opened a secret door for their private meetings."

"You can go directly to the Lin family compound from here and avoid the ghosts and spirits wandering in the front yard."

"Do you want to enter the Lin family compound through this secret door?"
