My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 49: Heavenly Treasure Box
There is also a secret door for a private meeting?

Jiang Xinghuo recalled the image that appeared in the mirror when he loaded the skin just now. It was simply a sign of "Keep away from me", as if the words "Stay away from me" were written on its face.

I didn't expect that he could even hook up with the daughter of a wealthy family in private.

While lamenting that people's hearts have changed, Jiang Xinghuo happily pushed open the secret door and controlled the character to walk into the backyard.

According to the description in the game text, there are many vengeful ghosts wandering in the front yard. He has no masochistic tendencies, so it would be best if he could take a shortcut.

"You pushed open this secret door and walked into the backyard of the Lin family compound."

"The furnishings in the courtyard are not complicated. Apart from a dead peach tree, there is only a two-story building. That should be the boudoir of the daughter of the Lin family."

"Do you want to go in and explore?"

Jiang Xinghuo did not hesitate. There was only one small building in the courtyard, and any good things must be hidden in the building, so he chose to go in directly.

"You walked into the small building."

"The small building was dark and dusty. You explored the surroundings carefully and found something."

"A box of rouge with insects, a bellyband with mandarin ducks playing in the water, a comb made of ox bone, a special daily item made of sandalwood, and a jade pendant with dragon pattern."

Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the text, took out the item and took a look. When he saw the special item made of sandalwood, he was stunned.

It was really a special "daily" product. The red sandalwood was almost covered with patina. Fortunately, he did not touch it with his hands, otherwise he would have been disgusted. So he simply threw it on the niche and hung it there. Whoever wanted it could take it. He only kept the dragon-patterned jade pendant and the ox-bone wood comb.

"Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant (Ordinary Item), an ornament carried by the True Dragon Child. It has the effect of nourishing the heart and soul, and calming the mind. It is also a key."

"Ox bone wood comb (common item). This ox bone wood comb is of ordinary shape and material, but it was loved by the dragon's grandmother. Later, it was given to the real dragon. In certain occasions, it may play an unexpected role."

Jiang Xinghuo put away the two things and controlled the character to continue exploring downstairs to see if he could trigger Tathagata's talent and find some hidden treasures.

But the result disappointed him greatly.

"You searched downstairs carefully but didn't find anything useful. Do you want to go upstairs and explore?"

"You have come to the space upstairs. This is Miss Lin's boudoir. They usually have private meetings here."

"You explored the house but didn't find anything. But just as you were about to leave, a pair of ghost hands suddenly stretched out from the dressing mirror behind you."

"You were caught off guard, and a ghost hand grabbed your shoulder and dragged you into the mirror world."

"You feel dizzy and as if a sharp object is scratching your body. Your [Coffin Maker Skin] is being peeled off."

"Are you going to fight back?"

"You were unwilling to sit and wait for death, so you used the Small Five Thunder Technique, and bolts of lightning burst out, instantly killing the opponent."

"You have killed the mirror monster's ghost."

"You gain incense +100."

"You have reclaimed the skin of the coffin maker and worn it upon yourself."

"The mirror demon world is shattered."

"You have obtained a fragment of the mirror demon world."

"This was originally an ancient bronze mirror. Over time, it developed a bit of spirituality. Later, the Lin family compound was cursed by a dead dragon, and the ancient mirror merged with the resentful soul of Miss Lin and turned into a mirror monster."

"But because I have no physical body, I am trapped in the mirror world, so I want to peel off your skin to break free."

"I never thought you had two sets of skins, but I failed at the last moment. You used the Five Thunders Technique to shatter my soul, and it has since vanished into thin air."

"Mirror Monster World (a damaged and excellent item), this is where the mirror monster's soul resides. But now it is damaged and has lost its original function. You can go find the Taoist Master and ask him to help you repair this item." After reading the description, Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the text, and an ancient bronze mirror appeared in his hand. However, the mirror was covered with rust and spider-web-like cracks.

I can only go back to the Taoist master to see if he can repair it. If not, I can only throw it there as a decoration.

"You carefully explored the small building and made sure that nothing was left behind before leaving the small courtyard and heading to the front yard."

"You came to the front yard and found that it was filled with resentment and filled with wandering resentful spirits."

"Fortunately, the death energy emanating from your skin made them mistake you for one of their own kind and they did not attack you. Otherwise, you would not be able to resist hundreds of evil spirits at all."

"But the yin energy here is too strong. Your health will continue to decrease at a rate of 10% per minute."

When Jiang Xinghuo saw this line of text, his brows slightly frowned. The speed continued to decrease by 10% per minute, which meant that he had to explore the entire front yard within 10 minutes.

Time is somewhat tight.

"You went into a wing."

"You explored the broken house carefully and found a pile of fragments of unidentified objects."

"Unidentified object fragments (13/108)."

"You walked into another room, but still found nothing. You only found a pile of meaningless fragments."

"Unidentified object fragments (28/108)."

"You entered the main room... and obtained fragments of unidentified objects (42/108)."

"You obtained fragments +27, fragments +18, fragments +13..."

"You have collected all the pieces (108/108)."

"But just as you gathered all the fragments, your health points also came to an end due to the invasion of Yin Qi."

"You are dead."

"Do you want to activate the Fall Guy?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought for a moment and chose no. According to the game text, the Lin family compound was a ghost cave, and even if he was resurrected, the time limit would still be ten minutes.

Moreover, in the past ten minutes, he had explored almost the entire Lin family compound. If he guessed correctly, the most valuable thing in the Lin family compound should be the pile of fragments.

Sure enough, a prompt popped up in the game at this time.

"You have collected all the pieces. Do you want to take them out and put them together?"

Jiang Xinghuo clicked to retrieve the text, and a pile of building-like fragments immediately appeared on the coffee table.

Looking at the disorganized fragments, Jiang Xinghuo tried to piece them together. It was very difficult. Without the blueprint, it would take a lot of effort to put the fragments together.

But these are not a problem for Jiang Xinghuo, because he has the relevant ability enhancement. With a thought, golden lightning instantly surrounds his body and his hair is flashing with flames.

In just a few seconds, Jiang Xinghuo's thinking speed was increased to the extreme. Those disorganized fragments began to automatically combine in his mind to construct a 3D stereoscopic figure.

At the same time, his hands were not idle, and he began to quickly assemble the fragments. Soon, an exquisite metal box appeared on the coffee table.

"The fragments have been assembled."

"You have obtained the Heavenly Treasure Box."
