My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 481: The Law of the World (22)

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the flickering bronze oil lamp and began to quickly think about what happened before going to bed last night. After taking a shower, he seemed to have fallen asleep directly on the bed.

How did this oil lamp appear next to my pillow?
More importantly, this heirloom lamp was actually lit! !

Jiang Xinghuo remembered it very clearly. The game text mentioned it when he obtained this item.

It is said that the key hub of the heirloom lamp was hidden by the owner of the lamp. Before the hub is found, it is impossible to light the heirloom lamp.

Jiang Xinghuo tried several times later, but the heirloom lamp did not respond at all, even the Kitchen God's fire did not work.

He never thought that when he woke up from a dream one night, this lamp not only appeared beside his pillow, but also lit up automatically. This was really too unbelievable.

Jiang Xinghuo was thinking about the whole story when he saw the bronze oil lamp on the bedside go out quietly, and the whole room became dark again.

"It's really a ghost..."

Jiang Xinghuo took a deep breath, reached out and took the heirloom lamp in his hand. The small pupil of his right eye flickered with a faint divine light, and he looked at the bronze oil lamp in his hand carefully.

But no abnormalities were found.

Then, Jiang Xinghuo thought of those bizarre dreams again. Could it be that they had something to do with this legendary lamp? ?
Or... that's what might happen in the future?

After all, the ability of the heirloom lamp involves the mysterious power of time, so it is normal to be able to see what will happen in the future.

Jiang Xinghuo sat on the bed and thought for a long time, but in the end he couldn't figure out anything, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

At this moment, new interactive information came from the game. Jiang Xinghuo clicked it and found that a new mission plot had been triggered.

"You leaned on the armchair and gradually fell asleep. It was not until the 15th hour of the morning that you suddenly woke up from your sleep. When you looked up, you saw a scarlet sedan chair suddenly appeared in the empty house."

"The sedan chair was parked in the middle of the courtyard, covered with a faint red light under the reflection of lanterns, with flower clusters and tassels hanging on the four corners of the sedan chair. The half-lifted curtain was painted with auspicious dragons and phoenixes, but the sedan chair was empty, with only a bright red "囍" character on the wall."

“Although these are all festive decorations, in this eerie and strange old house, there is an evil atmosphere no matter how you look at it.”

Looking at the description in the game text, Jiang Xinghuo thought it was quite creepy. Waking up in the middle of the night and suddenly seeing a sedan chair would scare the timid person to death.

It's a good thing that I didn't send my consciousness projection over. If my consciousness was projected over and saw this scene, I guess I would be scared.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Would you choose to sit back and wait and see how the situation develops, or would you rather set fire to this sedan chair and burn it to ashes before anything unusual happens?"

The game gave two options. After Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a moment, he chose the former. He did not make any drastic reactions, but waited quietly for the subsequent plot developments.

"You sat on the armchair and waited for a while, then you heard a noisy sound in the yard. But strangely, you could only hear the sound but not the people. Only the curtain of the sedan chair fell down."

"Are you going to do anything?"

Jiang Xinghuo hesitated for a moment and chose to open the Six-Day Ghost Eye, wanting to use this ghost eye to spy on what was happening in the yard.

But to his disappointment, there was no change in the game text, and the information that came out was still the same as above, with only a sedan chair parked in the ancient house.

Jiang Xinghuo suppressed his restless heart and waited quietly for the subsequent game text.

Five minutes later, new game text popped up.

"You can hear the noise in the yard getting louder and louder. There are not only the sounds of various musical instruments, but also the sounds of clinking glasses. It's as if a lively wedding banquet is being held in the invisible world."

"This sound continued until daylight, and then disappeared without a trace in an instant. However, you heard a subtle sound of unlocking a door. Following the sound, you saw that the door lock of the first room behind the corridor on the left had fallen to the ground at some point. Do you want to go over and take a closer look?"

Jiang Xinghuo was immediately interested when he saw this. He thought, could these strange phenomena be just for the purpose of opening a lock? ?
There must be something in here that I don’t know about, so I immediately controlled the game character and walked over.

"Walk to the corridor on the left and come to the outside of that room. You can vaguely see the rotten furnishings inside the room. Do you want to push the door and go in?"

Two options, yes or no.

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation. The plot had developed to this point, and it would be too embarrassing if he was still timid.

"You pushed the door open and walked in. Although it was bright outside, the room seemed unusually dark."

"But even so, it's not hard to tell that this is a bridal chamber. The room is full of festive brocades. Do you want to explore here?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the text thoughtfully.

From the game text just now, we can see that a wedding must have been held in the ancient house, and this may be the room used as the bridal chamber at that time.

"You chose to explore inside the house."

"Please wait……"

"You explored this bridal chamber and gained something."

"You have obtained: a red scarf for the bride, a dragon-shaped pole, a pair of red dragon-and-phoenix candles, a pot of wedding wine, a pair of dragon-and-phoenix pendants, and a wedding dress for the bride."

"The blood of the bride (special material). The blood of the bride on her wedding night after marrying her beloved has extremely magical effects. It can not only be used as a material for refining elixirs, but also as a good material for refining protective gear and armor. It can also be taken directly, which can greatly increase your attractiveness to the opposite sex."

"Do you want to take the bride's blood?"

Looking at the information given in the game text, Jiang Xinghuo nodded repeatedly. He was not so keen on swallowing other people's blood, even if he didn't have to take it for real.

Besides, he has no interest in increasing his attractiveness to the opposite sex.

He thought that his current personal charm was enough. If he used extraordinary means to increase his appeal, ordinary people would not be able to survive.

Jiang Xinghuo boasted shamelessly, then threw the fallen red scarf into his magic bag and went back to see Taoist Shen Ji Bai Lian to see if it could be integrated into the Huai Shan Xiang Ling robe on his body.

"Ruyi Tuanlong Chengxin Pole (rare item), made of pure Yang lightning-struck peach wood supplemented with refined hardware, it took seven days and nights to carve out the Ruyi Pole, which is specially used for lifting the veil in the bridal chamber. It is said that the round dragon pattern carved on it can also ensure that the newlyweds will live in harmony and never quarrel." "Note, although this Ruyi Tuanlong Chengxin Pole is a festive item, it also contains a very strong marriage evil spirit, so this item can also be used as a weapon, and it has a strong ability to restrain evil things."

Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the text and took the object into reality to take a look. The Ruyi pole was made with exquisite craftsmanship and looked like a work of art. The dragon pattern carved on it was also lifelike and seemed to come alive at any time under the light.

Jiang Xinghuo thought to himself that it would be a shame if this thing was melted, so it would be better to keep it in the store as a talisman.

Then he looked at the remaining items.

"Red Dragon and Phoenix Candles (rare consumable item), a pair of dragon and phoenix candles made by the bride herself, used on her wedding night. The fragrance emitted after burning can ensure the harmony and happiness of the couple's life, and has the effect of nourishing the kidney yin and vital energy."

Good stuff!! After reading the description in the text, Jiang Xinghuo immediately decided that this was a good thing. Although it was a bit useless to him, it could also be used to adjust the atmosphere.

"Wedding wine (precious consumable item), the wedding wine that the bride and her lover drink on their wedding night. After drinking it, the mana consumed in the body can be instantly restored."

"The number of wedding wine remaining is (3/5) times."

To put it simply, this wedding wine is a potion that can restore mana, and it is of great use to Jiang Xinghuo.

The only drawback is that this thing has a limited number of uses, and it cannot self-recover like the Medicine Fairy Gourd, but it is enough to use at critical moments.

"Linking Heart Dragon and Phoenix Pendant (Excellent Item), a pair of jade pendants carved with dragons and phoenixes. As long as you wear them, you can communicate with each other through consciousness without speaking."

"The bride's wedding dress (special item). The wedding dress that the bride wears when she gets married. Although it is made of the most ordinary cloth, it is suspected to be related to the mysterious laws of the past. If it is consecrated with the blood of the Exile, the laws of the past may be extracted."

"Do you want to try to draw the consecration spell with blood and extract the traditional laws contained in the wedding dress?"

The law passed down from generation to generation?! Jiang Xinghuo's heart was pounding, and he clicked on the game interface to continue to advance the text.

"The Heirloom Law is an ancient law whose existence is a mystery. No one has ever seen it, but people often mention it and look for it. Legend has it that if you master this law, you can gain the power to control time, and even reverse time and change the course of history."

"However, until the last secular civilization encountered a natural disaster and the world was about to fall into eternal destruction, the traditional laws did not appear in the world."

"But now, you seem to have seen a hint of the possible existence of the handed-down laws through the wedding dress of the bride in your hand. If you can seize this opportunity, you may have a chance to discover the complete handed-down laws."

"And the power of this law is also the key to unlocking the Heirloom Lamp. Only with the power of the Heirloom Law can the true gift of the Heirloom Lamp be activated."

"Of course, fortune and disaster go hand in hand, which is an eternal truth. So before you have sufficient strength, it is best not to reveal the secrets of the laws passed down from generation to generation. Otherwise, it will attract the covetousness of others and cause irreparable damage to you."

These are all the text information.

Jiang Xinghuo breathed a sigh of relief. After going through so much trouble, it turned out that the most precious thing was this wedding dress.

"Do you want to use your own blood to draw the consecration spell on this wedding dress and extract the faint power of law contained in it?"

Seeing that Wen Ben had made his point so clearly, Jiang Xinghuo no longer needed to play dumb, and he chose yes without hesitation.

"You cut your fingertips and used your own blood to draw the consecration spell on this wedding dress."

"Although you have never come into contact with those spells, you wrote down all the spells very smoothly, as if this knowledge is a talent engraved in your blood."

"Soon, the bride's wedding dress turned into ashes, and the law of the ages contained in it also appeared in front of you. Do you want to integrate it into your body?"

Two options, yes or no.

But before Jiang Xinghuo could make a choice, the text suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a new message.

"The fur fragment of the Heirloom Law seemed to have sensed something. Before you could make a decision, it suddenly drilled into your body and instantly dispersed and dissolved into your flesh, blood and genes."

"You have obtained the skin of the traditional law (0.00015)."

Jiang Xinghuo was shocked and wondered why he was the one making the decision.

Before he even agreed, the traditional laws were integrated into his body, leaving him no chance to regret.

Jiang Xinghuo felt a little depressed, but there was no other way out at this point, so he could only do this for now.

By this time, it was already light outside. Jiang Xinghuo put down his phone, got up and packed up. He couldn't be lazy anymore today.

During the day, Jiang Xinghuo also logged into the game and took a look, but did not trigger any valuable plot. He searched around the ancient house but found nothing.

All the rooms in the old house were locked, and the seven-treasure key failed to work for the first time.

Jiang Xinghuo had to give up the exploration for the time being and planned to wait until night to take a look again. Perhaps because of time reasons, the subsequent content was not triggered.

The day flies by.

After Jiang Xinghuo saw off the last wave of customers, he closed the door of the shop with reluctance.

I don’t know what happened today, but business was so booming that the new goods that arrived two days ago were basically sold out in less than a day.

Even if I just throw the remaining odds and ends into the warehouse, I will still make a lot of money.

After dinner.

Jiang Xinghuo drank the ice cola in the cup, opened the mobile game again, and logged into his account.

"You opened your eyes in the armchair, and the day of doing nothing passed quickly."

"You didn't gain anything here during the day, but maybe things will change a little bit at night."

"Not long after, the deep night enveloped this ancient house. You found that the flow of time here is not very stable, and the sun and moon may be reversed at any time."

"At the same time, you heard a faint baby's laughter..."
