My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 496: The Gift from the Geomancer
Jiang Xinghuo found a lot of things on the body of the Feng Shui master. After spending some time counting them, he has almost sorted them out. The only thing left is this last jade pendant, which contains a trace of the Feng Shui master's soul.

Looking at the two options given in the game text, Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a while, then chose no and put the jade pendant into the magic bag.

Next, Jiang Xinghuo wanted to take this thing into reality, but the magic bag seemed to be blocked and he couldn't open it no matter how hard he tried.

At the same time, corresponding prompt information was also received in the game.

"Your magic bag contains objects that violate the rules of the secular world. They can only be used in the secular world and cannot be brought to other worlds or cave spaces."

Tsk, Jiang Xinghuo shook his head in disappointment. He had wanted to take the jade pendant into reality and then awaken the geomancer's spirit in reality so that he could communicate with him face to face.

But now it can only be used in the game. Jiang Xinghuo wanted to activate Risui's ability and project his consciousness over, but he was afraid of the strange and bizarre "ruin disease", so he had to give up this idea temporarily and awaken the residual soul of the geomancer in the jade pendant in the game.

"You wrapped a trace of magic power around the stone jade pendant, awakening the remaining soul of the geomancer sleeping inside the jade pendant."

"The jade pendant carved from a thousand-year-old stone marrow lost its luster at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into a pile of gravel that was blown away by the wind. An illusory figure also appeared in front of you."

"You have discovered the remaining soul of the geomancer."

"Perhaps he had been sleeping in the stone jade pendant for too long. After the remnant soul of the Geomancer appeared, it took him a long time to come back to his senses and slowly spoke: "A member of the tribe who has returned from exile?"

"The remaining soul of the Geomancer recognized your identity. At the same time, you also learned from his words that the Geomancer was actually an ancient sage of the human race in the secular world."

"After seeing you, the remaining soul of the geomancer sighed softly, feeling a myriad of emotions in his heart. He never thought that he would return to the secular world one day. Although this remaining soul cannot survive for too long, God has been kind to him by allowing him to see his child return from exile before he dies."

"It's a pity that he doesn't have enough time to talk to you. Although your heart is filled with confusion and bewilderment, he doesn't have the chance to tell you everything. But you can go to the cave temple he left behind. There are gifts he left for the people of the exile land. Everything you want to know is there."

"You have obtained the map of the dragon cemetery."

"A map of the Dragon Cemetery (special). This is a paradise discovered by a geomancer using his own geomantic methods. The entrance is hidden on Mount Tai in the secular world. Only by carrying the map left by the geomancer can you find the way in. Otherwise, you can only wander outside."

Jiang Xinghuo obtained the map of the Feng Shui venue, carefully put it into the magic bag, and then continued to advance the plot.

"At this time, you found that the residual soul of the geomancer had become much fainter, as if it would completely disintegrate and disappear at any time."

"The Geomancer also showed a trace of loneliness on his face. He doesn't have much time left. Fortunately, you are the one who woke him up this time. He can tell you some things without worrying about sleeping with those secrets."

"Through your conversation with the remaining spirit of the geomancer, you learned about what happened here in the past."

"The reason why the geomancer has fallen to such a state is all because of the ancient and mysterious 'Ten Thousand Temples True Lord'."

"On the night of dawn, Mr. Kanyu witnessed the fall of the Lord of the Secular World in the Forbidden City. At that time, he and Mr. Qingnang were both in the Forbidden City. Some people said that they wanted to take advantage of the situation to rob, while others said that they wanted to avenge their exiled clansmen..."

"However, the world does not know that the real purpose of Mr. Kanyu and Mr. Qingnang was to help the Lord of the Common People and resist the thirteen ancient masters who invaded the Forbidden City. Not only them, but many other people appeared in the Forbidden City that night, but most of them died at dawn."

Ok?
When Jiang Xinghuo saw this, he was stunned for a moment, thinking what was going on? ?

Since both Kanyu Gong and Qing Nang Gong are human beings in the secular world, why would they help the Lord of the Secular World to resist those monsters and demons that invaded the Imperial City? ?
Shouldn't they be incompatible with each other? If you don't take advantage of the situation and add fuel to the fire, you can be considered noble and upright. How can you be considered helping? ?

Jiang Xinghuo thought of the dead Yellow River King again.

These ancient masters seem to be high above everyone else, possessing supreme power and authority.

But in reality, they were just puppets of the ancient powerful ones, rather than being the ones who killed the masters of the secular world.

It would be better to say that it was those behind them who killed the Lord of the World.

Jiang Xinghuo had a vague intuition that this was probably the closest he had ever been to the core secrets of the secular world, and that he might not have such a God-given opportunity again in the future.

Moreover, this core secret will probably completely overturn his previous cognition, and even overturn the cognition of all game players.

He continued to advance the plot.

"The remaining spirit of the geomancer saw the doubts in your heart, but he does not have enough time to answer these questions for you. You can only go to his temple to find the answers yourself."

"That night, the Lord of the Secular World fell in the Forbidden City. The Geomancer and the Green Bag Master also began to secretly track down clues about the existence of those ancient strongmen. As a result, the Geomancer discovered traces of the 'Ten Thousand Temples True Lord' in Daliang City and had a head-on conflict with him."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the flashing red fonts and subconsciously tapped the screen. The entry about Wan Miao Zhen Jun immediately popped up on his phone.

"The True Lord of Ten Thousand Temples is an ancient and powerful being with a very mysterious origin. He has existed for a very long time and is very likely a contemporary of the Empress Huang Tian. It is said that he is the master of sorcery and witchcraft in the secular world. The sorcery and witchcraft, mediumship and superstition that are now circulating in the secular world are all related to the True Lord of Ten Thousand Temples. His methods are endless and it is difficult to get a glimpse of his full picture."

"The Geomancer had a direct conflict with the Master of Ten Thousand Temples, but he was no match for him. He could only use the method of burning both sides to death to activate the power of the dragon veins, severely injuring the Master of Ten Thousand Temples. He also forcibly stripped some of the evil magic that the Master possessed onto his own body, which are the dilapidated temple buildings on his corpse."

"Every piece of the temple ruins represents a kind of evil magic, so the geomancer has become like this."

"The geomancer looked at the remains of his own body and seemed to have made up his mind. He used the last of his magic power to extract the remaining power and integrated it into your body."

"You have obtained the immunity from evil spirits."

"Evil spirits are immune to invasion (special). The power formed by the geomancer using the power of dragon veins to purify the essence of witchcraft can make you immune to the curses and damage brought by the corresponding witchcraft."

"This is the biological gene purification technology that was mastered by the Medicine King. I don't know why it was learned by the Geomancer, and he can use it at will."

"From now on, when you are attacked by other evil spells or witchcraft, the Evil Spirit Invulnerability Body will automatically absorb this power and produce corresponding antibodies, and you will not suffer the same harm again." Looking at the description of the Evil Spirit Invulnerability Body, Jiang Xinghuo simply translated it. It is an enhanced and automatically upgraded vaccine that is specifically designed to target various evil methods.

The Five Grains Samsara Body gives him antibodies against viruses and bacteria.

The immunity of his body to evil spirits has given him antibodies against sorcery and witchcraft.

Although these two physical qualities cannot directly enhance his combat effectiveness, they can protect him from various means of attack, which is equivalent to greatly enhancing his strength from the side.

In the future, when he faces those monsters from Southeast Asia and Miaojiang, he will have enough confidence to face them head-on.

"At this time, the life of the geomancer also came to an end. His remaining soul began to gradually dissipate, and his body on the ground completely turned into a pile of ruins. It no longer existed, leaving only the last remnant of his voice."

"…I only wish… that humanity will prosper forever…"

The geomancer died.

A death in the true sense, without the concept of reincarnation, completely disappeared in the history of the secular world.

Jiang Xinghuo was also feeling a little heavy-hearted. Tonight's gains in the game were very rich, and it was also the closest Jiang Xinghuo had ever been to the secrets of the secular world.

However, fate is fickle, or it can be said that there is a divine will in the dark, and the secrets of the secular world cannot be easily pried into by others, so the information that Jiang Xinghuo finally obtained was also very limited.

Fortunately, he obtained the map of the Feng Shui master's Taoist temple. According to the Feng Shui master's last words before his death, he left all the answers in his own Taoist temple and they could be found as long as they went there.

"Tarzan..."

Jiang Xinghuo thought of the materials needed to cast the Six Paths of Reincarnation Dharma Image, and it seemed that there was a piece of Taishan stone that could serve as a guarantee. He could just go there and get the thing.

"What are your plans next? Will you choose to find a place to have a good rest? Or will you go to the last place recorded on the map?"

The chief inspector of the police station gave him three map fragments. One map fragment corresponded to the Grain House of the Lord of the Grain Cycle, and one map fragment corresponded to the burial place of the geomancer. I wonder what kind of surprise the remaining map fragment will contain.

Jiang Xinghuo glanced at the time. It was still early, so he decided to finish exploring the map first.

"You chose to go to the last place to explore."

"You walk in the dark sewer, with countless pairs of scarlet eyes staring at you. They are all evil beasts that eat dead human flesh. However, they are afraid of the scent sachet on your body and dare not get close to you at all."

Jiang Xinghuo was delighted, thinking that although this sachet was an ordinary item, it was most effective against these evil livestock. No matter whether in the wilderness, deep in the mountains and swamps, or even in this sewer, ordinary animals did not dare to approach him at all.

"You continue to move forward..."

"After you walk along a winding road, you suddenly notice some figures flickering in front of you. Several figures are sneaking towards a dead end. I don't know what they are discussing. Do you want to follow them and take a closer look?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without giving it much thought. Since a new plot had been triggered, he had no reason not to take a closer look.

"You used the secret technique of wind sickle to hide your body in the wind and followed silently."

"You discovered that those sneaky figures were actually ghosts, and there were many monsters in all directions, walking towards the end of the deep dead end. You learned from the people talking next to you that these people seemed to be summoned by someone to discuss an important matter."

"You come to the end of this dead end and find an empty stone chamber. The surrounding area is already crowded with all kinds of strange monsters, and the leader is a mysterious being who hides himself in a cloak."

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You've figured it out, Goku-kun."

"The chef of Guanglu Temple, one of the three great food giants in the secular world, rebelled against Guanglu Temple for unknown reasons many years ago and even killed his teacher. In order to avoid being hunted down, he hid in Wuyou Cave."

“Unexpectedly, by chance, it obtained part of the inheritance of the Lord of the Five Grains Samsara. Its strength is among the many monsters in Wuyou Cave, second only to a few old monsters from the time of the Lord of the Secular World.”

"You hide in the wind and listen carefully to what these monsters say. It turns out that they have gathered here to discuss how to deal with the Chief Inspector of the Police Station."

"Somehow the news that the Chief Inspector of the Patrol Office wants to completely wipe out Wuyou Cave has leaked out. These shady people who want to hide from the light will naturally not sit idly by. Once Wuyou Cave is completely wiped out, they will no longer have a place to hide. Even if they don't die at the hands of those patrolmen, they will die at the hands of their enemies outside."

"So, whether for their own lives or for the future of Wuyou Cave, they will not sit and wait for death."

"These crazy creatures have already thought of a way to deal with it. They plan to poison the water source in Daliang City, paralyzing the citizens and order of the entire Daliang City. This way, the police station will not be able to take action against them."

"What are you going to do now?"

"Would you choose to pretend you didn't know about this and watch them put poison into the water source? Or would you take advantage of these vicious creatures gathering together and kill them all with a spoonful?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the two options before him and chose the latter without hesitation. Although he was just an ordinary game player, he was not so crazy.

"You chose an answer that is not very wise, but very righteous. I have to say that only people with compassion and mercy can go further in the fight for the Lord of the World. You will never be able to conquer people's hearts by relying solely on tyranny and the kingly way."

"However, the strength of these monsters is extraordinary, and Wu Gu Jun's cultivation is far superior to yours. If you confront them head-on, I'm afraid you will be torn to pieces very quickly."

"So, you'd better choose a suitable and appropriate method, such as poisoning, or using firearms, or some other method."
