My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 484: Five Grains Reincarnation Body

"You used the key to open the dusty door of the Grain Samsara House, and an indescribable smell of decay hit you in the face. You staggered and almost fainted on the spot."

"Do you want to enter this grain reincarnation house?"

Jiang Xinghuo pinched his nose and chose yes. Come to think of it, it made sense. How could you expect a place that specialized in studying the reincarnation of grains to have any good taste?

At most, it's like "living in an abalone shop for a long time without noticing its stench." To put it more bluntly, it means you've gotten used to it.

"You chose to enter the Grain Reincarnation House. The smell in the house made you feel very uncomfortable. It seemed that the smell had life, and it kept squirming in the dark and humid environment."

"This is a hotbed specially created by the Lord of the Five Grains Reincarnation to cultivate pathogens. You also found a lot of undigested remains of corpses in this not-so-spacious room. In the middle of this room, there is a little light flickering. It seems to be a treasure left by the Lord of the Five Grains Reincarnation, and it is also his masterpiece cultivated with many years of painstaking efforts. Do you want to go and pick it up?

"You walked deep into the dangerous and ominous Five Grain Samsara House. You were infected by the horrible germs that permeated the surroundings. Even though you had made sufficient preparations, those germs could not only infect you through breathing, but also invade your body through the pores on your body."

"You have obtained the Grain Reincarnation Worm."

"You have lit up the shrine of the Grain Wheel House."

"You can use this shrine to teleport to the ruins of Wuyou Cave at any time to explore, and no other accidents will occur during the teleportation."

"Your body decayed rapidly under the influence of the horrible germs, and soon disappeared into thin air, becoming a rotten skeleton."

"You are dead."

"You have activated the effect of the scapegoat and awakened again in the Samsara House. Do you want to be teleported to the Worry-Free Cave Ruins immediately?"

"You have been infected with the horrible germs in the Five Grain Samsara House again..."

"Your health is decreasing rapidly..."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the game text without thinking too much. He immediately chose to go to Wuyou Cave while his life was still not over. He wanted to escape from this deadly environment before doing anything else.

"You activated the shrine in the House of Five Grains, and mysterious spatial power emerged out of thin air, instantly engulfing your decaying body and bringing you to the ruins of the Worry-Free Cave in the Daliang City sewer."

"You have unlocked a new hidden map, the Worry-Free Cave Ruins."

"You have arrived at the ruins of Wuyou Cave."

"Wuyou Cave (map), this is the underground drainage system of Daliang City. Many years ago, Daliang City was the ancient capital of the previous dynasty, and its glory was even greater than that of today's Beiping City. But in the year when the Lord of the Secular World ascended to the throne, the two gods of the secular world, Feng Bo and Yu Shi, suddenly died suddenly in Daliang City due to unknown reasons, causing a huge disaster. Angry winds raged, flooding Daliang for three years, and the people were displaced, with countless casualties. They had to travel by rafts and boats."

"Three years later, the flood receded. The Lord of the secular world felt deeply the danger of flood disasters, so he summoned skilled craftsmen from all over the world to expand the drainage system under Daliang City, forming an extremely complex sewer system. At the same time, the sewer systems of major towns in the secular world were rebuilt. The original intention was to drain water and prevent floods from flooding the city again. However, the sewer ditches after the expansion were deep and wide, and many desperate criminals hid in them. They named it "Wuyou Cave" or "Ghost Fan Tower", which is a notorious place where dirty and dark people gather."

"Although the Lord of the Secular World has issued edicts many times, ordering local officials to wipe out the Worry-Free Cave, the paths below are complicated, and ghosts and gods often appear, so it has been impossible to eliminate it for a long time. All they can do is let it go, and it has become an illegal place for those vicious and stubborn people to hide."

"Later, it was the Lord of the Five Grains Samsara who occupied the Worry-Free Cave and used it as his own place of practice, and only then did he sweep away all those treacherous and treacherous people who were afraid of the light of day."

“But since the disappearance of the Lord of the Five Grains Reincarnation, the Worry-Free Cave has become a lawless area again. Those rats who hid in the cave without seeing the sun have become active again.”

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the game text and thought that compared with Wuyou Cave, the current secular world is probably not much better. If you walk on the street, you can get your kidneys cut by someone and exchange them for opium. And they still have the nerve to lick their faces and say that Wuyou Cave is a lawless place.

"Although you have left the Grain Samsara House and come to the Worry-Free Cave, the bacteria you are infected with are still fatal. If you don't think of a way to solve it, you will die from the attack of those bacteria again in less than half a minute."

"However, the things you just found in the Five Grains Samsara House may be able to solve your problem."

"Exile, look down at the Five Grain Samsara Worm in your hand. This is a very special poisonous insect that the Lord of the Five Grain Samsara has painstakingly researched for many years."

"This kind of poisonous insect can maximize your potential, as well as your resistance and immunity to viruses and bacteria. Once it is swallowed into your body, it can be used to develop a 'body of reincarnation' through various germs."

"At this point, the germs in the secular world will no longer pose any threat to you, and you can also actively release the absorbed germs to contaminate a certain area."

"And within the contaminated area, if an ordinary person gets close to it for even a moment, at best their skin will fester and their organs will fail, at worst their limbs will be mutilated and their life span will be shortened. A wasteland contaminated by germs will also become a life-forbidden zone where living people cannot enter. The impact is so far-reaching that it could last for hundreds or even thousands of years."

"After the Lord of the Five Grains Samsara discovered this Gu insect, he felt its viciousness and instability and wanted to destroy it completely. However, he was unwilling to see his research go to waste, so he sealed the Gu in the ruins of the old secular world and strictly ordered his disciples not to swallow it."

"But the Five Grains Samsara Gu worm is only in the first stage of cultivation at this time. It is far from being as terrifying as imagined. Moreover, each stage requires the absorption of a large number of pathogens. If you want to have the ability to turn an area into a life restricted zone, you must absorb at least tens of millions of pathogens."

"The current Grain Reincarnation Worm can at most strengthen your body and protect you from the invasion and influence of germs."

"Do you want to swallow this grain reincarnation worm?"

Jiang Xinghuo followed the old rules and first took a look with Tathagata's Tathagata to make sure there were no hidden dangers or hidden tricks before he chose to swallow the insect.

"You swallowed the Five Grain Samsara Worm into your body."

"The moment the Five Grain Samsara Worm enters your body, it transforms into pure essence and permeates your limbs and bones, rapidly improving your blood and flesh genes."

After Jiang Xinghuo received the "vaccine" in the game, he also felt very obvious changes in reality.

It felt like I had a bad cold. My body was alternately cold and hot. When it was hot, I was sweating profusely. I wanted to roll naked in the snow and bury myself.

But when it was cold, he kept shivering. Even if he surrounded himself with the Kitchen God's fire, there was no improvement. He still shivered constantly.

This state lasted for more than two hours. Jiang Xinghuo also endured the constant cycle of alternating hot and cold for more than two hours. In the end, all his clothes were soaked with sweat, and this abnormal condition gradually disappeared.

A new message came from the game. "You have successfully merged with the Five Grain Samsara Worm and nurtured your body into a Five Grain Samsara Body."

"You have obtained the Five Grains Samsara Body (initial stage)."

"The Five Grain Samsara Body (initial stage), a body nurtured after fusing with the Five Grain Samsara Worm, can avoid being attacked and troubled by many kinds of pathogens."

"You can collect a certain amount and level of pathogens to improve the level of your Five Grain Samsara Body."

"But you need to put the germs you collected into the Five Grains Samsara House in the ancient house. Only by using the breeding hotbed left by the Lord of the Five Grains Samsara can you improve your physical level."

"You now possess the Five Grains Samsara Body, and the germs that infected your body have become nutrients to nourish your body. What are your plans next?"

Jiang Xinghuo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking that this thing was quite evil. It took him more than two hours, but it was a fruitful one. At least he obtained the Five Grains Reincarnation Body.

However, the upgrade conditions for this Five Grains Reincarnation Body are rather complicated.

Jiang Xinghuo had indeed collected a lot of bacteria and viruses, but when he was possessed by the epilepsy fire last time, some things in his magic bag were burned to ashes.

As luck would have it, those germs were among them.

Jiang Xinghuo sighed in his heart for a while, then looked down at the two options given by the game.

"Will you choose to leave the ruins of Wuyou Cave immediately and return to the ancient house to continue exploring? Or will you choose to stay in Wuyou Cave temporarily to see if you can find some gains here?"

Jiang Xinghuo was faced with two choices. After thinking for a moment, Jiang Xinghuo decided to teleport back to the ancient house first to see what kind of plot would be triggered later.

Wuyou Cave is not in a hurry to explore. He has already opened up the map, so he can come and search at any time. There is no need to gather everything together.

"You chose to teleport back to the Grain Reincarnation House."

"The shrine, which was half submerged in sewage, emitted a dazzling light. When you regained your sight, you found yourself returning from the Worry-Free Cave to the Five Grains Samsara House."

"This time, the germs and toxins in the air in the room will not have any effect or threat on you. Instead, they will have a significant nourishing effect on your body."

"You have now unlocked the shrine in the House of the Five Grains. No matter where you are, even in other ruins of the old world, you can teleport here freely."

Jiang Xinghuo sucked his teeth and sniffed carefully. Only after he made sure that there was no bad smell on his body did he feel relieved.

He had really forgotten about this matter just now. If after merging with the Five Grain Reincarnation Worm, his body would be contaminated with those smells, he would really become disliked by thousands of people in the future.

Fortunately, the Grain Reincarnation Worm was quite powerful and did not cause him this confusion.

Jiang Xinghuo felt the stickiness of dried sweat on his body, so he put down his phone and took a shower, washing off all the sweat stains on his body. Then he changed into new clothes and threw himself on the bed.

The game continues.

"Do you want to explore the house?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes. Although the Five Grain Reincarnation Worm had been taken away by him, it did not mean that there were no other things here.

Moreover, the Lord of the Five Grains Cycle must have lived here for quite some time, so he might know something about the secrets of this ancient house, and might even have left some unexpected clues.

"You explored the house and found something."

"You found a notebook left by the Lord of the Five Grains Samsara when he was free. It records the life experiences of the Lord of the Five Grains Samsara."

“When you encounter people or things recorded in the notes, relevant interactive plots and quest clues can be automatically triggered.”

"You have obtained the notes of the Lord of the Five Grains Reincarnation."

"You learned some secrets about this ancient house by reading the contents of the notes."

"According to the records of the Lord of the Five Grains Reincarnation, the time in this ancient house will continue to cycle. One cycle lasts about seven days. During these seven days, the ancient house will quickly go through a person's life in the order of [marriage, hundred days, coming-of-age ceremony, funeral, first seven days]. Then, everything will start all over again."

"The Lord of the Five Grains Samsara also relied on the power of the Cave Heaven Fragment to prevent the Five Grains Samsara House from being affected by the restart of the time cycle."

"The Master of the Five Grain Samsara was obsessed with the study of the Five Grain Samsara Worm at the time, so he did not explore the secrets of this ancient house in detail. He only guessed that in order to break this cycle, he had to find the owner of this house."

“However, the Lord of the Five Grains Samsara tried to find out, but he could only hear various voices and could not find the corresponding person, so he had to give up and ignore the matter.”

After reading the notes left by the Lord of the Five Grains Reincarnation, Jiang Xinghuo frowned slightly. He remembered that it was the same last night. He could only hear the noise of a wedding, but could not see anything.

It was the same tonight. All I could hear was the sound of a baby playing, but when I looked for the place, there was only an empty room and some props, no human figure at all.

The two sides seem to be in different latitudes, but there is some connection between them.

According to the message in the diary, the next thing is the ceremony of capping, which was also called the ceremony of coming of age in ancient times. To put it simply, it means that one can set up his own household, marry and have children, and is no longer a child.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo searched the house again, and most of the things he found were ordinary materials or props, which were not particularly useful to him.

Therefore, he did not take it too seriously. After a simple search and seeing that he did not find anything he was looking for, Jiang Xinghuo left the Five Grains Samsara House and returned to the main hall in front of the ancient house.
