My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 499: Visitors from outer space...

"According to the murals, in the long and distant past of the secular world, there once appeared a powerful being named 'Tianhe Wanxiang Zhenjun'."

"It is a ghost god from another dimension born from the Milky Way. It controls the mysterious and vast power of the galaxy. However, on a full moon night, it descended from the Milky Way to the secular world accompanied by a celestial disaster. It wants to replace the master of the secular world and become the new master of this rich land."

"Many powerful people in the secular world have been killed by him. Even the Maitreya Master of Buddhism was injured by the vast power of the galaxy he mobilized. Only the old Taoist master has the strength to compete with him for a short time."

"But the old Heavenly Master could only barely remain undefeated. It was extremely difficult for him to win. He also combined the power of many masters to trap this alien ghost in Daliang City, and then sent a message to the Lord of the Secular World for help."

"In order not to cause panic among the world, this news was also blocked by everyone and only circulated within a certain range."

"After the Lord of the Secular World learned of this, in order to nip the threat in the bud, he also rode his dragon vein from Peking to Jiangnan and started a great battle with this Tianhe Wanxiang Zhenjun."

"That battle took a total of seven days and nights. The Lord of the Secular World used every possible means, and in the end he used the Golden Law to isolate the power of the galaxy and killed him on the spot."

"However, the source of Tianhe Wanxiang Zhenjun's power is completely different from the monsters in the secular world. If the corpse is left like this, it will be resurrected in no time, and it may also attract other monsters from other dimensions."

“So, after discussion, the Lord of the Secular World and many masters decided to seal the corpse permanently in the underground of Daliang City, and condensed the essence of the various families’ Dharma lines to set up many sealing restrictions. In order to eliminate future troubles, the Lord of the Secular World also deliberately cut off a piece of the tailbone of his finger and used it as the hub of the corpse sealing restriction. As long as this piece of finger bone is not destroyed, then Tianhe Wanxiang Zhenjun cannot be resurrected.”

"At this time, you found a piece of skin of an unknown creature in the mural. It seems to record something. Do you want to pick it up?"

"You have obtained the gift of the Lord of the World (special)."

"After the Lord of the Secular World sealed the True Lord of Tianhe Wanxiang, he used the future-seeing Buddha Eyes of Maitreya Venerable and the Great Evolution Divination Technique of the Taoist Old Heavenly Master, and the three of them worked together to perform a deduction and prediction."

“No one knows what they saw, but after deduction, the Lord of the Secular World left this gift here.”

"The gift from the Lord of the World (special material), the talisman and spell drawn by the Lord of the World with his own blood. After it merges with himself, he will not be troubled by the calamity of all things and can freely explore the Forbidden City. Duration: 30 minutes."

"Please note that this gift from the Lord of the Secular World can only be used once. After use, it will automatically transform into a fragment of the Golden Law, which can grant immunity to some negative curses."

"Do you want to explore the Forbidden City right away?"

Jiang Xinghuo played with the skin as thin as a cicada's wing in his hands. The vermilion talismans and mantras on it were shining with a faint golden glow, which was very similar to the fragments of the golden law in his body, but the power was much purer.

A gift from the Lord of the Secular World, a special consumable item that allows him to freely explore the interior of the Forbidden City for a certain period of time.

If nothing unexpected happens, this gift will allow him to glimpse some secrets that ordinary people don't know.

Based on Jiang Xinghuo's gaming experience, in this absurd and bizarre folk world, secrets, chance, and danger are often closely linked.

To put it simply, in this world, the more dangerous a place is, the more secrets it hides, and the greater the treasures and rewards that can be obtained.

However, this gift from the Lord of the Secular World is not a reusable item, but a one-time consumable item that will be gone once used up. Jiang Xinghuo has currently obtained a clue about the Forbidden City, which can be summed up in four words: Anyone who enters will die! !

According to the historical background setting of the game, after the Dawn Night, the Forbidden City became a forbidden place for all living beings.

Anyone who trespasses will either die or go crazy.

He had been in there once before.

As a result, the game character died just after entering and before anything could happen, and it almost affected the real body in the real world.

Jiang Xinghuo fell into deep thought.

If I don't use it, I'll just keep the treasure in my hand and always think about it in my mind.

But if you use it, there is an 80% chance that you will die. You may not be able to survive half an hour. If you die as soon as you land, it will be a waste.

Jiang Xinghuo thought it over again and again, and finally put the thing away, carefully storing it in his magic bag.

Moreover, Jiang Xinghuo had another concern in his mind. According to the game text, before leaving this gift, the Lord of the Secular World made some deductions and predictions about the future, and then left this thing behind.

If it were someone else it would be fine, but who made him the Lord of the secular world who mastered the Golden Law, and he also had the Dayan hexagram technique of the old Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master Dao, and the Buddha's eye that could see into the future of Maitreya.

The three of them started to deduce and estimate the future, and who knows how far into the future they can see.

He even suspected that the Lord of the Secular World had known him for a long time, or had seen that other game players would come here, otherwise how could the Lord of the Secular World know that there was a problem with the Imperial City and keep this gift.

Ever since finding the body of the geomancer, Jiang Xinghuo felt that something was wrong. The secular history known by the players did not seem to be the real history, at least some details had been tampered with and concealed.

For example, the truth behind the exile of secular humans in ancient times and what role the Lord of the Secular World played in it, if you think about it carefully, many things are quite intriguing.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Do you want to remove the severed tailbone of the Lord of the Secular World, and then move the body of Tianhe Wanxiang Zhenjun to the ground? Perhaps you will have a chance to awaken Tianhe Wanxiang Zhenjun and obtain the reward from him."

Jiang Xinghuo chose "no" without hesitation. The situation was still unclear for the time being, so it was better not to create unnecessary trouble.

Since entering the game, he has only encountered two monsters born outside the secular world, one is Zhu Sui Xing Jun, and the other is Tianhe Wanxiang Zhen Jun.

Needless to say, Zhu Sui Xing Jun holds a deep hostility towards humans. If it weren't for Lord Ling Guan who dealt with him, those exiled earthly humans would have been extinct on Earth long ago.

This Tianhe Wanxiang Zhenjun is not an easy person to deal with either. It is better to let him stay here for now. I don’t know who is stronger between Tianhe Wanxiang Zhenjun and those ancient powerful men.

The God of Mountains and Rivers, the Goddess of Heaven, the Immortal Master of Fortune and Treasure, the Earth Lord, the God of Ten Thousand Temples...

Jiang Xinghuo pondered these things in his mind while continuing to push the plot forward. "What are you going to do next? Leave this prison cell? Or continue to wander here?"

"You chose to leave the Chamber of Secrets."

"You left this prison using the power of the Wall-Passing Talisman, and cast the Territory Sealing Technique outside."

After Jiang Xinghuo obtained the Dragon-Raising Technique: Territory Chapter, he also spent a lot of time on it. Although he could not completely seal off a place, with his current strength and cultivation, it was not a problem to seal the road outside the stone door.

The so-called method of territory sealing is actually to borrow the power of dragon veins to block a fixed area. Within this area, most of the spells and props will lose their original effects and it will be difficult to exert the corresponding power.

Moreover, it can block other people's sensory perception of this place. Even if someone comes here, they will subconsciously avoid it and will not be aware of it at all.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the cultivation level of the person who comes is not much different from his. If it were those monsters whose strength far exceeds his, this method of sealing the territory might not work.

After Jiang Xinghuo finished dealing with these things, he continued to advance the plot without triggering any new interactions, and soon arrived at the destination marked on the map.

"You have come to the location marked on the map, but what appears before you is a hideous stone statue. It is staring at you with eager eyes and says it wants to ask you a question. If you can answer it, you can pass its test and enter the secret cave behind. Otherwise, it will swallow you."

"And the only question about the stone statue is, who left the secret cave behind it?"

After reading this, Jiang Xinghuo was speechless. How could he guess this? Wasn't it obvious that he was deliberately making things difficult for others?

"The statue has a look of triumph on its face, urging you to answer its questions quickly, otherwise it will swallow you."

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You have discovered it, Statue."

"Stone Statue (rare item), a stone statue that has been specially refined by secret methods. It not only has its own consciousness and wisdom, but also has some of the abilities of the Big Belly Immortal. It can swallow everything in the world and digest it quickly."

Well, that’s bullshit!

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the information obtained by Tathagata Zang, which only explained the origin of the stone statue but did not explain who placed it there.

"The statue is approaching you eagerly. You can see a lot of mutilated corpses piled up behind it. Judging from the clothes and clothing, they are the clothes of the missing policemen. I guess they didn't answer the question and became the statue's meal."

Jiang Xinghuo frowned slightly, thinking that he couldn't just die like this, that would be too unfair. This stone statue was obviously trying to make things difficult for him, but due to the constraints of certain rules, it had to ask him that question. If he couldn't answer it, it could eat him with a clear conscience.

At this moment, Jiang Xinghuo suddenly thought of a prop, and quickly opened his game backpack and took it out of the magic bag.

"Do you want to use the secret color box?"

Secret color box.

This was the reward Jiang Xinghuo received from a secret-keeping immortal believer when he was exploring Guandong in the secular world. It can help him understand some of the secrets of the secular world.

Jiang Xinghuo has solved many difficult problems with the help of this item, and now there are only two chances left to use it, which can be used here.

"You have triggered the Secret Keeper's Color Box."

"Secret Color Box remaining (1/10) times."

"The mysterious power of keeping secrets surges in the air, and you will soon discover the mystery hidden here."

"You have arrived at the secret cave of the Medicine King."

"The secret cave of the Medicine King. When the Medicine King traveled in the secular world in the past, he came here and opened up a secret cave as his own medicine room. When he left, the Medicine King captured a stone statue and imprisoned it here. He also planted the restriction of the Oath Master on it. If it violates the oath restriction, it will explode and die immediately."

Medicine King's secret cave? ?
Jiang Xinghuo was a little surprised. After entering the secular game, the first big man he met was this King of Medicine. He also obtained the recipe for the Xiaotaixi Pill left by the other party.

Later, I always saw texts related to him in the game, but they were all background boards of the game history and never actually appeared in the game. I didn't expect to encounter the secret cave he left here.

"You looked at the gradually approaching stone statue and sensed a strong sense of malice. But just as it was about to attack, you spoke your answer."

"You told the stone statue that this was the secret cave left by the Medicine King. The stone statue asked you persistently if you were sure. If you were wrong, you would really die at its hands. Do you stick to your answer?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without any hesitation.

"The statue showed a look of regret on its face and glared at you hatefully. Although it wanted to swallow you, it had to let you enter the secret cave behind it even though it was unwilling due to the power of the Oath Master."

"The reason why the stone statue is so angry is that on the one hand it cannot devour you, and on the other hand it has to choose its own question again. If you leak the answer to this question, everyone will be able to enter and exit the secret cave freely in the future. But the stone statues are a race of monsters and ghosts, and they are not good at using their brains. It took it two months to think about this question and finally came up with it."

The corner of Jiang Xinghuo's mouth twitched slightly. His brain was probably not even as big as a walnut kernel, but the questions he came up with were quite out of the ordinary. Most people might not be able to answer them. If he didn't have the secret color box, he estimated that there would be no hope.

"Do you want to enter the Medicine King's secret cave?"

"You walked into the secret cave of the Medicine King. Your eyes blurred slightly, and you could vaguely see a small courtyard. The black lacquered door was half-open, and the air was filled with the smell of various medicinal herbs."

"It is said that the Medicine King once personally tasted hundreds of herbs to test their medicinal properties, so no matter where he went, he would prepare a large amount of herbs to refine various medicines."

"Walk to the gate of the courtyard, push it open and walk in. You will see that there are large and small furnaces piled up in the courtyard. The materials are also different. There are gold, silver, copper, iron, wood, stone, jade, and everything else. They correspond to different kinds of medicinal materials. This is to prevent the medicine from conflicting with the materials of the furnace, causing abnormal changes in the medicinal properties. In that case, not only will it not be able to save people, but it will also kill people."

"Do you want to start exploring here right away?"
