My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 492 The Third Night...

"Do you want to question the spirit of Fengbo Feilian right away?"

The game gives two answers to choose from and explains that there is a time limit and the souls of Fengbo Feilian cannot stay in the world of the living for a long time.

After seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo didn't bother to think any more and immediately made his own decision. He activated the ability of the soul-summoning bell to talk to ghosts and corpses and started communicating with Fengbo Feilian.

"You asked the dead soul about his life experience, and you also learned about the past events that happened here from the mouth of Fengbo Feilian."

"The deceased Fengbo Feilian originally lived in seclusion on the Wuyin Mountain in the secular world, and never participated in the treacherous disputes in the secular world. Unexpectedly, one day, he suddenly received a call for help from his good friend Yushi, saying that he was trapped in Daliang City in the south of the Yangtze River and his life was in danger. He was asked to go and rescue him quickly."

"Although Fengbo Feilian has a dull personality, he values ​​his friends very much. After receiving the message, he immediately set out to Jiangnan to rescue Yushi from the crisis."

"As a result, by the time it arrived at Daliang City, heavy rain had been falling for three days and three nights. Feng Bo knew that he might be too late. Otherwise, Daliang City would not have such an extreme astronomical phenomenon."

"But Fengbo Feilian still held on to the last glimmer of hope and followed the hidden clues left by the Rain Master. He found the small cave opened by the other party in the city, and found the body of the Rain Master who had died suddenly after being possessed by evil spirits."

"Feng Bo Fei Lian was furious and vowed to find the murderer and avenge his friend. After some investigation, he found that the murderer who killed the Rain Master was actually a mysterious master named 'Ten Thousand Temples True Lord'. The other party had a mysterious origin and mastered many strange and bizarre methods. The Rain Master was killed by his curse from a distance."

"It originally wanted to avenge its friend who died tragically, but the difference in strength between them was too great, and Feng Bo was unable to compete with the other party."

"If it hadn't controlled the power of the 'wind' in the secular world and escaped the disaster by hiding its body, I'm afraid it would have followed the footsteps of the Rain Master and died tragically on the spot."

"But even so, Feng Bo Fei Lian was also seriously injured and could only hide in the cave opened by Yu Shi to recuperate. He wanted to find an opportunity to seek revenge in the future, but he didn't expect that Wan Miao Zhenjun obtained the essence and blood in his body when fighting with it, and used it as a medium to curse it."

"By the time it realized what was happening, it was too late. It could only rely on the magic power in its body to barely hold on. After 49 days, the vitality in Feng Bo's body was completely gone. He died and his soul returned to the underworld."

"Its corpse gradually decayed in the cave opened up by the Rain Master. Later, the Lord of the Five Grains Samsara accidentally entered there, buried its corpse here, and led its soul to the underworld..."

"At this time, the spirit of Fengbo Feilian began to gradually dissipate. Its soul was about to return to the underworld, where it would fall into a long, endless sleep to repair the trauma deep in its soul..."

"But before leaving, Feng Bo left you something that may be helpful to you in the future."

"You have acquired the curse, the inheritance of the Wind Lord."

"The inheritance of Fengbo (special curse). You, who hold the remnant skin on Fengbo Feilian's back, have obtained a special curse bestowed upon you. This curse will not cause any harm to you. Instead, it will allow you to discover a special space that Fengbo Feilian had opened up in the secular world during your exploration of the secular world - Fengbo Cave Heaven."

"Wind God's Cave Heaven (Special), there have been rumors in the secular world for a long time. When Feng God Fei Lian traveled around the secular world in the past, there was a period of time when he was particularly keen on opening up various secret camps and left a lot of things in them. It is said that there are priceless legendary treasures. Of course, there are also a lot of worthless waste. Moreover, these cave heavens have one thing in common, that is, they are all hidden in the hustle and bustle of the city, but it is difficult for ordinary people to explore and discover them. Only those who bear the curse of Feng God's inheritance have a certain chance to discover the location of those cave heavens by chance."

Oh no???

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the newly acquired curse and thought that this curse was quite interesting. It would not cause any harm to the target, but would greatly increase the triggering rate of event tasks, which was very rare in the secular world.

However, before Jiang Xinghuo could think about it in detail, he saw new game text pop up on the screen.

"The golden law fragment in your body has sensed the power of the curse. Do you want to remove this power from your body immediately?"

There were two options, yes or no. Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows, tapped the screen with his fingertips, and chose no.

This curse does not cause any harm to oneself. Instead, it can increase the triggering rate of event tasks. There is no need to use the golden law to get rid of it.

"At this moment, you discovered a line of small words appeared on the remnant of skin in your hand. These were Feng Bo's last words:"

"If you wish, you can send its body back to Wuyin Mountain. That is where it lives in seclusion and where it was born. Although it is dead, it also hopes that its body can return to its roots."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the text on the screen, pondered for a while, then collected Feng Bo's body and planned to find time to visit Wuyin Mountain after completing the task at hand.

He remembered that Yinyang Village, where Yinyang Master taught, seemed to be in the Wuyin Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River in the secular world. It was just right that the two maps were mixed together.

"Where are you planning to go next?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked up at the time. It was already late, and it was time to open the store.

Jiang Xinghuo teleported the game character back to the Five Grains Reincarnation House in the ancient house through the shrine in Wuyou Cave, then quit the game and prepared to continue exploring at night.

During his free time during the day, Jiang Xinghuo logged into the game and took a look, but there was no follow-up development. The game character was in the Five Grains Reincarnation House, as if waiting for his choice.

Jiang Xinghuo was not in a hurry. Since there was no plot to trigger, he decided to rest there for the time being and wait until there was follow-up content in the evening.

According to the notes left by the Lord of the Five Grains Reincarnation, the show to be shown in the ancient house tonight should be a funeral. Considering the malice this game has towards players, as well as the weirdness in the game on weekdays, this funeral will definitely not end peacefully, and he might even die several times.

To be on the safe side, Jiang Xinghuo went to the niche shop to buy some materials and made a lot of dry dog ​​food. Taking into account the effect of the dead straw man, as long as he was not in trouble tonight, it would be enough for him to consume.

The day passed quickly.

During the day.

Jiang Miaozhen called and said that the two old men had agreed to go to Jiang Xinghuo's grandfather's hometown this Saturday to pay homage to Jiang Xinghuo's great-grandfather and great-grandmother, as well as some of the relocated ancestral graves.

Five p.m.

It was getting dark outside, with some light snowflakes falling, and it looked like they were getting heavier. After Jiang Xinghuo locked the shop door, he went to get himself some food, then returned to his bedroom on the second floor, took out his phone and started playing games tonight.

"You opened your eyes on the warm bed in the Grain Samsara House. To your surprise, you found that you slept very comfortably and all the energy you had previously consumed was restored."

"Where are you going to go next? Are you going to visit the ancestral temple in the backyard? Or are you going to wait quietly in the main hall in the front yard?"

“Of course, you can also choose to stay in the House of the Five Grains Samsara.” “This place was built by the Lord of the Five Grains Samsara himself. It is not bound by the spatial rules of the outside world. Even if something really happens outside, it will not have any impact on you. As long as you don’t leave here, even if the entire ancient house is destroyed, you can hide here safely.”

The game text gave three options. Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and finally chose to stay in the Five Grains Samsara House.

Then, Jiang Xinghuo opened the inventory of the magic bag, found the germ breeding ground obtained in the Worry-Free Cave, clicked and chose to use it, intending to merge it with the germ breeding ground in this room.

"Are you going to merge these two hotbeds of germs into one another?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation, and the game text changed accordingly.

"You chose to fuse two hotbeds of germs."

"The germ hotbed is merging..."

"Please wait……"

"The fusion is complete."

"The level of the grain germ hotbed has been upgraded by +2."

"Once you have collected enough germs, you can put them into the germ hotbed here."

"The upgraded germ hotbed can not only automatically remove impurities from the germs, but also purify the quality of the bacterial flora in the germs, thereby better upgrading and strengthening your Grain Reincarnation Body."

Jiang Xinghuo fused and upgraded the breeding ground for pathogens, but before he could react, the subsequent interactive plot was triggered and new information appeared on the screen.

"You merged the hotbed for breeding germs and were about to experience a new feeling, but you didn't expect that there was a very regular knock on the door outside the Grain Samsara House."

"Dangdangdang...dangdangdang..."

"The knock on the door was neither light nor heavy, but it sounded very regular. Three knocks, a slight pause, and then three knocks again..."

"The knocking kept going at the same frequency, neither fast nor slow, but there was no sign of stopping. It seemed that the person outside would keep knocking unless the door was opened."

"But in such an old house that has been abandoned for who knows how many years, there is suddenly someone knocking on the door. This matter is somewhat strange and surprising no matter how you look at it."

"Do you want to go over and open the door to see who is knocking on the door? Or do you pretend that you didn't hear the knock and just sit in the room waiting for the other person to leave, since the other person can't get in anyway? Or do you want to find another way to see who is knocking on the door?"

This time, the game gave three options: go over and open the door, pretend not to hear it, or find another way.

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and felt that opening the door would definitely not have any good results, and it might even lead to a death sentence.

The remaining two options seemed to have no problems, but Jiang Xinghuo thought it would be better to be safe, so he chose to pretend that he did not hear the knock on the door and prepare to see what would happen next.

"You pretended not to hear the knock on the door and sat on the chair. Fortunately, this Samsara House was completely enclosed when it was built. Apart from the main door, there are no other entrances or exits, not even windows. The lights in the house also began to flicker slightly, as if they also sensed the danger brought by the thing knocking on the door."

"The knocking on the door continues..."

"As time went by, the knocking on the door didn't stop. The frequency didn't slow down or speed up. It remained the same."

"Do you want to do something to deal with the situation outside?"

Tsk! Jiang Xinghuo looked at the description of the game text and thought to himself that the thing outside was quite persistent. If you knock on the door and it doesn't open, just leave. Why waste your energy here?

Jiang Xinghuo thought about these things in his mind while clicking the screen and selecting "No". In that case, just wait and see who loses patience first.

Now, Jiang Xinghuo was blocked inside the Five Grains Samsara House by the thing outside, which was equivalent to entering a half-hang-up state. He could not control the game character to continue doing anything, and could only waste time with the thing knocking on the door outside.

"You waited in the house for some time, and suddenly you noticed that the knocking on the door outside slowed down and the frequency of the sound changed. The other party seemed to have lost some patience."

"But this may not be a good thing, because when a creature loses patience, there are usually two possibilities for the subsequent development. Either it gives up the idea, or it becomes impatient and does something crazy. What kind of thing do you think is knocking on the door outside?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the description of the game text and couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He instinctively felt that the other party would choose the latter.

as predicted.

The text message that popped up next confirmed his guess.

"I don't know when the knocking on the door stopped, but soon there was a violent banging sound. The thing knocking on the door seemed to be angry and began to bang on the door of the Grain Samsara House, trying to force its way in. Do you want to stop it?"

Jiang Xinghuo hesitated for a moment. This Five Grains Reincarnation House was related to his Five Grains Reincarnation Body and it must not be destroyed by that thing outside. Although the possibility was very low, it did not mean that it did not exist.

So, Jiang Xinghuo opened the skill panel, found 'Seeing Through Walls' and chose to use it. He planned to first see who was knocking on the door outside.

"You have used it, and I can see it through the wall."

"You looked through the door of the Five Grains Samsara House and saw the creature outside that kept hitting the door. It turned out to be a crudely made paper man!"

"It looks like it was made of random hemp paper, but the power contained in it is frightening."

"Every time the paper man strikes, it's like a mad, powerful monster. It's terrifying just to watch..."
