My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 507: Fortune and Luck Cave Heaven
"What are you going to do next?"

"The square in the center of Yanshi Town is empty, there is no place to hide. Are you going to turn around and leave, and go to other places to look for the Tianji Puppet, or stay here and see if you can find other clues?"

Jiang Xinghuo narrowed his eyes, summoned the treasure god in his left eye, and then activated the ability to see through things as if they were seeing fire.

As long as there is a secret passage in this square, or other hiding places, it is likely that they cannot be hidden from the observation of Bibaoshen and Dongruoguanhuo.

But what surprised Jiang Xinghuo was that Bibaoshen and Dongruoguanhuo did not find anything unusual.

"You can still smell the scent of the soul-chasing incense in the air, but you can't find the specific source at all."

"Besides, there are no tunnels or secret rooms under the square. Do you still want to keep searching?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought this was very strange. Since there were no tunnels or secret rooms, how could the Heavenly Secret Puppet disappear without anyone noticing? ?

Could it be that he had entered some special paradise?

When Jiang Xinghuo was thinking about this matter in his mind, he saw new text coming from the game.

"You have triggered the Cave Heaven Map of Immortal Master Fu Shuai Bao Yun."

"You have discovered the secret cave in the Heavenly Cave left by Immortal Master Fu Shuai Bao Yun in Yanshi Town. Do you want to activate the Heavenly Cave Map immediately and enter the secret cave to explore?"

The Cave Heaven Map of Master Fu Shuai Bao Yun? ?
Jiang Xinghuo immediately remembered what happened in Lingshen Village. He obtained the cave map that was hidden by the Queen Mother of Heaven from the ruined temple.

However, the game text at that time did not specify the location of this cave, but only said that it was in the ruins of an old world somewhere in the south of the Yangtze River. Unexpectedly, this cave was hidden in Yanshi Town.

It seems that the Tianji Puppet should be hiding in this cave. No wonder I can only smell the scent of the Soul-Chasing Incense but cannot find the other party's hiding place.

"Do you want to activate the cave map immediately and enter the cave left by Immortal Master Fu Shuai Bao Yun?"

This time, the game text gave three options. In addition to the most common yes and no, there was also an option to wait outside.

Jiang Xinghuo didn't think too much about it and chose yes directly. If there was no cave map, he might have chosen to wait outside.

But now that he had the key to enter the cave, why should he waste time waiting outside?

"You activated the cave map in your hand, and you felt your eyes blurry, and ripples appeared. Roads led to alleys, and paths crisscrossed. You got lost without knowing it, and suddenly saw an ancient courtyard. This is the hidden cave opened up by the Immortal Master Fu Shuai Baoyun. It is also a treasure given to people in the future. But whether you can find what he left behind depends on your opportunity and luck."

"Moreover, you also saw Tianji Kui at the gate of the other courtyard. He was fiddling with the code on the gate of the other courtyard."

"But when it heard you coming in, the expression on its face changed from stunned, surprised, and finally annoyed. It didn't know how you found this place, but it would never allow outsiders to come here."

"You were attacked by the Tianji Puppet."

"Are you going to resist?"

"You awakened the dormant Kitchen God Fire in your body. The brilliant golden-red flames spread like a tide, completely submerging his body in an instant."

"Although the Heavenly Secret Puppet has its own thoughts and wisdom, without the control of its master, it can't make any big waves. The core of its shell was quickly destroyed by the flames, and even its bronze body showed a tendency to melt."

"You destroyed the Tianji puppet."

"You have obtained the remains of the Tianji Puppet."

Jiang Xinghuo used the power of Kitchen God Fire to deal with the Tianji Puppet. After just a short while, news came in the game that the Tianji Puppet was destroyed.

But what was a little unexpected to him was that after the Kitchen God's Fire destroyed the Tianji Puppet, there was no prompt message about the incense being received.

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it for a moment and understood what was going on. Players could only obtain incense from the corpses of monsters and demons by killing them.

Although the Tianji Puppet has its own thoughts, strictly speaking it is just a prop, and is fundamentally different from those monsters.

Naturally, there will be no income from incense ash.

Jiang Xinghuo didn't take it too seriously. If there was no incense, then there was no incense. Anyway, the Tianji Puppet was killed by him now. Not only did he get back the things it had stolen before, but he also got the remains of the Tianji Puppet.

After finishing the exploration here, he would go back to talk to Taoist Shen Ji Bai Lian to see if he could repair the damaged parts of the puppet.

"Are you going to continue exploring that villa?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes.

"You walked outside the courtyard and found a lock on the gate of the other courtyard. If you want to open the door and enter the other courtyard, please crack the code on the lock."

hum!
Jiang Xinghuo only felt his phone tremble slightly, and a picture flashed on the screen, which turned out to be an extremely complicated calculus problem.

"This……"

As soon as Jiang Xinghuo saw the complicated characters, he felt overwhelmed and recalled the nightmare in college. Now that he has graduated for so many years, he has long returned everything he learned to his original teacher. How could he solve such a complicated problem?

The same thing happened to the Immortal Master Fu Shuai Bao Yun. Wasn't he a fortune teller? How did he also know about numbers?

Jiang Xinghuo stared at the math problem on the screen. Fortunately, this was the Internet age, and the omnipotent netizens could find everything except a girlfriend, naturally including the answer to this problem.

Half an hour later.

Jiang Xinghuo received responses from netizens on the forum, and with the idea of ​​giving it a try, he wrote down the answer to the question, and the password map collapsed and disappeared.

"You have successfully cracked the code on the door. Do you want to go in and explore immediately?"

"You push open the door and walk into the courtyard. You see countless illusory figures flashing by in the huge courtyard. They are none other than Master Fu Shuai Bao Yun. This is the fragment of his projection left behind long ago. Anyone who can successfully enter here must have obtained his cave map. They are also considered to be blessed with great fortune and talent, and are eligible to receive his three rewards. You can go to the innermost room and randomly pick one of the dozen boxes placed in the room as a reward. Do you want to go and try it?"

Only three rewards?

Or is it a blind box drawn randomly? ?

Jiang Xinghuo felt a little disappointed. If this was the case, then what he could get would depend entirely on his luck, because he had no right to make his own choices.

However, a reward is better than no reward. Since this rule cannot be changed, you might as well go and take a look. What if you get lucky today and get something good? "You came to the innermost room of the courtyard, opened the door and walked in. You saw a dozen wooden boxes on the table, lined up in a row, with incomprehensible talismans on them. You wanted to use the treasure hunting eye and the clairvoyance to peek into the box, but you were blocked by the power emitted from the surface of the talisman, and you couldn't see clearly what was in the box."

"Which box are you going to choose?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the description of the game text and released the Treasure God again without giving up, wanting to see if he could find anything. But the result remained unchanged. The means left by Master Fu Shuai Bao Yun completely eliminated the possibility of cheating.

Ugh!
Then there is no other way.

Jiang Xinghuo had no choice but to pin his hopes on luck and randomly chose a box as his reward.

"You chose the seventh box on the left and picked it up from the table. At the same time, the room seemed to come alive and pushed you out of the room. The door was closed and could not be opened no matter how hard you knocked."

Tsk, he really took everything into consideration. After getting the reward, he pushed the person out. He couldn't even get through the Risui projection.

Jiang Xinghuo had no choice but to throw the Risui in his hand back into the magic bag. He had already prepared everything and was about to activate Risui's ability, project it into the courtyard, and take away all the boxes in that room.

At this time, even if the Immortal Master Fu Shuai Bao Yun got angry and killed him, the things he got would not fall out.

But the result was still a miscalculation.

"You tore off the talisman, opened the wooden box, and gained something."

"You have obtained an Introduction to Mathematics (common), an Eight-Character Life and Death Curse (rare), and a Mirror of Disaster (excellent)."

"Introduction to Mathematics (Ordinary Item), an introductory method derived from the laws of mathematics in the secular world. After using it, you can slightly improve your understanding of mathematical knowledge and master mental arithmetic."

"The laws of mathematics are the laws that maintain the order of the world, so they cannot be manipulated or manipulated by anyone. Therefore, this method of entering the realm of mathematics will not cause any harm."

"Do you want to use this item?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes, took out the introductory math book, slapped it on his head, and the book turned into fluorescent dots that poured into his mind.

"You have mastered the basics of mathematics."

Jiang Xinghuo tried it and found that his mental arithmetic ability had indeed improved. Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division were no problem for him. He could get the answer immediately just by taking a look at the question.

Then he looked at two other things.

"The Eight-Character Life and Death Curse (rare item), a method of curse and killing created by the Immortal Master Fu Shuai Bao Yun. As long as you get the target's birth date and eight characters, you can start the curse and kill. Depending on the strength of the fate, the time it takes to take effect is also different. It can take as short as three days or as long as half a year. The target of the curse will disappear into thin air, killing without a trace."

"Do you want to use this item?"

Jiang Xinghuo narrowed his eyes slightly, and before he could react, new text popped up in the game.

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You have discovered the mystery and hidden dangers of this technique."

"After you practice this 'Eight-Character Life and Death Curse', your birth date and time will be known to Immortal Master Fu Shuai Bao Yun, and he can curse and kill you at any time based on your birth date and time."

After reading the text description, Jiang Xinghuo immediately chose no. Although this was a rare quality spell, it would not be worth it if it cost his own life.

Master Fu Shuai Bao Yun might not necessarily kill him, but he did not want to leave his fate in the hands of others. No normal person would do that.

Jiang Xinghuo threw the Eight-Character Life and Death Spell into his magic bag. He did not intend to put it up for sale in the niche shop. Only he could see the mystery of this spell because he had the Tathagatagarbha. Others would not even know that it existed.

In today's era of Internet technology, birth data is no longer confidential information. If this magic technique falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, it may cause a huge chaos. It is better to just keep it in the magic bag.

Finally, the only thing left was the Disaster Mirror.

"Calamity Mirror (Excellent Item), an ancient mirror stained with fragments of the fur of the Law of Calamity. After integrating it into the body, it can protect the host from disaster once. Cooling time: 24 hours."

A derivative of the law of doom?

Jiang Xinghuo's eyes lit up slightly. This thing was just right for him, and he didn't have to worry about other people's calculations.

"Do you want to fuse this item?"

Jiang Xinghuo took out the mirror and integrated it into his body. The Law of Disaster seemed to sense it and emitted wisps of breath, wrapping up the ancient mirror and nourishing it slowly.

"The Mirror of Fate has been nourished by the Law of Fate, its level has been raised, and the cooldown time after it takes effect has been shortened to 12 hours."

There are three rewards, one is a trivial trick, one is a curse-killing technique with great disadvantages, and only this ancient mirror is pretty good.

At this time, new text messages popped up from the game.

"Master Fu Shuai Bao Yun once left many tokens in the secular world. When you carry this cave map, if you encounter other tokens, the cave map will guide you to find them. At that time, you can enter this cave again and obtain the treasures left by Master Fu Shuai Bao Yun."

"The Fushuai Baoyun Cave Heaven has been closed, and you were forcibly pushed out of the cave heaven and returned to the square of Yanshi Town."

"Where are you planning to go next?"

We have almost explored Yanshi Town now, and there is nothing to gain by staying here any longer.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Xinghuo decided to leave Yanshi Town first, return to Qingmingfang outside, and continue exploring other maps.

The maps of the Jiangnan region in the secular world are large and numerous. He has only scratched the surface now, and there are still many maps waiting for him to explore.

Jiang Xinghuo took a look at the map and decided to continue heading towards Ping'an Village. He wanted to light up the shrine on the map first, and then wait until New Year's Eve to come here for real exploration.

But before that, Jiang Xinghuo planned to go to another place first, the Bafang Linglou.

He unlocked this map in the Worry-Free Cave in Daliang City and obtained the qualification to enter it. He didn't have time to go back a few days ago, so now is a good time to go and take a look. Maybe he can find something else.

"Do you want to sacrifice the Ghostly Ear in your hand, enter the Eight Directions Spiritual Tower, and become a true Ghostly Hunter?"
