My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 514: Torn Letter
"Do you want to explore Yin Yang Village?"

"You stand at the entrance of the village and look inside. You will see that the village is shrouded in fog and your vision is extremely blurry. You can't see the specific situation clearly at all. You can only roughly see that the village has been dilapidated for a long time and some houses have collapsed into ruins."

"In addition, you vaguely saw some stiff figures in the foggy streets. They should be some evil creatures that have resurrected from the dead."

"According to rumors circulating among the people, before Yin Yang Master mysteriously disappeared, he had fought a great battle here. Afterwards, he dismissed all his disciples and forbade them to return here. He also set up a ban outside the village, allowing only people to enter but not leave."

"If you enter the village like this, you may never come out again. Therefore, you'd better stay away from this village. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. There is no need to sacrifice your life for a momentary greed."

Tsk, it’s already this time, and he still doesn’t give up on me and persuades me to give up this place. Jiang Xinghuo felt funny in his heart, and at the same time, he became more determined to explore this place.

"Since you insist on exploring this long-ruined village, I can only wish you good luck. I hope your luck can be as good as your courage and help you find what you want."

"You entered Yinyang Village, but just as you stepped through the village gate, you suddenly had a strange feeling, as if you had entered another world. When you looked back, the village entrance had been infinitely far away, as if there were thousands of mountains and rivers between you and it."

"Such a strange scene makes you feel a little uneasy. This Yin Yang Village doesn't seem as simple as you see it. Do you still want to insist on going in?"

"Although you have entered Yin Yang Village and cannot leave through normal means, you are an exile cursed by the secular world. Everything in the secular world rejects you, including death and reincarnation, which everyone fears. You can commit suicide and wake up next to the shrine outside Yin Yang Village. In this way, you can get rid of the rules of Yin Yang Village."

"Are you going to use this method to leave Yin Yang Village?"

Jiang Xinghuo directly chose no. What kind of a freak of his is it to choose this way? Since he can leave after death and be resurrected at the resurrection point outside, why not explore further? ?
Anyway, there is not much difference between dying here and dying in the village.

"You walk deeper into Yinyang Village. Everywhere you look, it is desolate and dilapidated. In the alleys and lanes of the village, you can occasionally see some dark shadows running by. They may be the evil beasts that survived."

"The air in the village is filled with a sickening sweet stench. It's the rotting corpses that fermented and then blended with some special bacteria and microorganisms, giving off a weird smell. Although it doesn't have a big effect on you, the smell is really unbearable."

"Do you want to equip the scented towel?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes, took out the incense towel he bought when exploring Wuyou Cave, and put it on his face.

"Where are you going to explore next?"

"Do you plan to go to the teaching field in the east of the village first, or to the cemetery in the west first, or to the place where Yin Yang Master lives first?"

"Of course, you can also wander around the village without having to set a target."

Looking at the four options given by the game, Jiang Xinghuo thought for a moment. Teaching field, cemetery, Yin Yang Lord's residence, and wandering around, he only triggered these four options and did not trigger other sub-map options. He didn't know if there were only these four options or if these four options were only available to him.

Then let's do it one by one in order, but before Jiang Xinghuo could make a choice, those evil things hidden in the fog attacked him first.

"You were attacked by a white-haired corpse."

When Jiang Xinghuo saw the text, he thought to himself that since you dare to find trouble, he would definitely not let you go, so he opened the acupoints directly and released the two evil spirits, the Dragon-Swallowing Silver Mother.

These white-haired corpses are just the most common evil spirits. Any one of the Dragon-Swallowing Silver Mother can easily kill dozens or even hundreds of them, let alone two of them attacking together.

In a short while, all the white-haired corpses wandering around were wiped out.

"You have killed the white-haired corpse."

"You have killed the white-haired corpse."

"You have killed the white-haired corpse."

"..."

"Your incense income is +70, +70, +70, +70, +70..."

Every time you kill a white-haired corpse, you can get 70 incense sticks, which is slightly higher than those smokers.

However, no matter how small a mosquito leg is, it is still meat, and if a little bit accumulates, it can be a considerable income.

"Please choose where you want to explore first."

After dealing with these white-haired corpses, the interactive option popped up again, and Jiang Xinghuo chose to go to the teaching field first.

"You chose to explore the teaching field first."

"On the way, please wait..."

"You have arrived at the teaching field of Yin Yang Village."

"The teaching ground of Yin Yang Village is where Master Yin Yang taught his disciples in the past. There are many teaching instruments and cultivation books that record various secret techniques and talismans left behind."

"Do you want to launch an exploratory operation immediately?"

"You explored the teaching field, gained something, and discovered something."

"You have obtained three True Fire Talismans, two Lightning Gathering Talismans, two Ice-Melting Talismans, a volume of Kun Dao Secret Book (Volumes 1 and 2), a mourning stick, a human bone banner, a volume of Wood and Stone Stealth Technique, a Blood-stained Temple, and a burnt and broken letter."

Jiang Xinghuo started counting them one by one.

There is no need to explain much about the True Fire Talisman.

When he first arrived in Jiangnan, he encountered a tomb tiger. He used the Yin-Yang Master's True Fire Talisman to get rid of the creature.

The effects of the Thunder Gathering Talisman and the Ice-Melting Talisman are similar to those of the True Fire Talisman. They are essentially the same items, just with different properties.

The Thunder Gathering Talisman can condense the yin and yang energies between heaven and earth, and then use the power of the talisman to gather them into thunder, the power of which is even comparable to that of heavenly thunder.

Moreover, this talisman has another characteristic, which is that it can store energy and be charged. When not in use, it will automatically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The longer the energy is stored, the greater the power it can unleash.

The same is true for the Ice-melting Talisman, except that its function is to condense water molecules in the air and then turn them into ice, which can be used to block attacks or freeze enemies. Jiang Xinghuo put away these talismans. The biggest advantage of this kind of talisman is its convenience. As long as a trace of mana is injected, the effect of the talisman can be activated, and you don't have to worry about other things at all.

Of course, the disadvantage of this kind of talisman is also obvious, that is, its power is uncontrollable. Once the talisman is activated, all the power will be released and cannot be controlled freely.

Then, Jiang Xinghuo looked at the remaining things.

"Kun Dao Secret Book Volumes 1 and 2 (Rare Items). Yin Yang Ye once compiled part of what he had learned into a book and circulated it among the human race in the secular world. Anyone can practice according to the secret book. It contains many methods to deal with evil spirits."

"When you carry this scroll of Kun Dao secret book, if you encounter a difficult evil demon, you will automatically get a way to deal with it."

Ghost Catching Encyclopedia? ?
Jiang Xinghuo looked at the description in the game text and made a conclusion about this item. He felt that this thing was pretty good and might be useful in the future.

"The mourning stick (a rare item) is made from the spine of a person who died suddenly. It has the power to search for souls and calm spirits. Ordinary ghosts and spirits cannot resist the power of the mourning stick at all."

"You hold the mourning stick in your hand, and suddenly you feel a vibration in your acupoints. Bai Wuchang sends a thought, wanting to integrate the mourning stick into his own magic weapon."

Jiang Xinghuo remembered that in addition to the iron chains, the Black and White Impermanence each had a secondary weapon. The White Impermanence had a mourning stick, and the Black Impermanence had a soul-binding banner.

This mourning stick happens to be the weapon that Bai Wuchang is good at using.

"Do you want to leave this mourning stick for Bai Wuchang to use?"

There was naturally no need to hesitate. Jiang Xinghuo directly chose yes, took out the crying stick from the game, and handed it to Bai Wuchang in the acupoint.

Then, another rare human bone banner naturally fell into Hei Wuchang's hands.

"The Human Bone Banner (rare item) is forged from the bones and skin of 9981 people who died unjustly. It has the ability to capture the souls of people. Just wave the soul banner and the soul will be captured immediately."

Looking at the quality of these two props, Jiang Xinghuo was very surprised. Even if Yin Yang Ye's family was rich, he would not throw two rare quality magic tools here, right? This is not a cabbage in the field. You can just pull a whole head. In today's secular world, rare quality props and magic tools can definitely be said to be hard to come by.

In reality, depending on its functions, it can be traded for prices ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars.

But now I got it so easily.

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it for a while, but couldn't come up with any clue, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, the things were in his hands, and the benefits were his. He hoped that Master Yin Yang would keep more good things for him.

After dealing with the ownership of these two items, Jiang Xinghuo began to study the remaining items.

"Wood and Stone Stealth Technique (Excellent Item), a method of escaping and becoming invisible that Master Yin Yang developed for his disciples. It allows one to hide one's body between wood and stone, and use wood and stone as a medium to teleport over short distances."

"However, this technique has a flaw, that is, it can only be used to move between wood and stone to hide, and it cannot attack people, otherwise it will lose the effect of concealing your body. Do you want to learn this technique?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose no.

Now that he has the Wind Control Book, he can blend his body into the wind. From any angle, it is better than the Wood and Stone Stealth Technique, so there is no need for him to practice this spell.

Jiang Xinghuo threw the skill book of Wood and Stone Stealth into the magic bag. Just because he didn't need it didn't mean that others couldn't use it. If that didn't work, he could always exchange it with the Public Opinion Bureau.

He heard a piece of inside information from Lin Tianshou, saying that the Public Opinion Survey Bureau was preparing to develop external trading software, through which players could exchange goods with the Public Opinion Survey Bureau, which would be a win-win situation for both parties.

However, in Jiang Xinghuo's opinion, this may be a means for the Public Opinion Bureau to supervise players, but the means are not so radical.

If players conduct transactions through this software, the Public Opinion Bureau can use technical means to lock down the players' identities and locations. If anything happens in the future, they can also find them in the first place.

But for Jiang Xinghuo, this matter is unimportant. His identity, home address, and a series of information are probably already in the archives of the Public Opinion Survey Bureau. Besides, he has not done anything harmful to the world, so even if the information is backed up in the Public Opinion Survey Bureau, it doesn't matter.

Then, Jiang Xinghuo looked at the Blood-stained Temple again.

"The Blood Robe Temple (special item), a temple that fell off the body of the Ten Thousand Temples Master. It contains the method of offering sacrifices to the Human Skin Ghost. I don't know why it was lost here. As long as you connect this temple with your heart and blood, you can obtain the method of practicing the Human Skin Ghost and gain the ability to be almost immortal."

It’s this Wan Miao Zhenjun again!

Jiang Xinghuo frowned slightly. When he was in Wuyou Cave, he had triggered clues about the other party.

The God of Wind, the God of Rain, and the God of Geomancer, these three ancient powerful men, all died at the hands of the Lord of Ten Thousand Temples. Unexpectedly, they encountered clues related to him in this Yin-Yang Village.

Compared with other powerful people of the same rank, this True Lord of Ten Thousand Temples seems to be a little too active.

Shanhe Jishi Zhenjun, Huangtian Niangniang, Tu Bo, Fu Shuai Baoyun Xianshi, none of these people are as powerful as the other party, and it is almost impossible to find clues to the mission with those top powerhouses.

"Do you want to merge this Blood Robe Temple?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose "no" without hesitation. Not to mention that this thing was left by the True Lord of Ten Thousand Temples, judging from the name and function of this item, it is definitely not a must-have item for home or travel. It is most likely a magic weapon used by evil sorcerers. Naturally, he has no interest in learning it.

Finally, all that was left was the charred, torn remains of the letter.

"You read this burnt and torn letter and found that it was actually written by Yin Yang to the Lord of the Secular World. Although some of the content is no longer clear, the specific content can be roughly guessed."

"It was New Year's Eve many years ago, when Lord Yin and Yang accidentally discovered that the Lord of Ten Thousand Temples had come to Jiangnan."

"Moreover, the other party seemed to have some other plans, so Master Yin Yang wrote a letter to invite the Lord of the Secular World to come to Jiangnan..."

"Since this letter is incomplete, the subsequent contents are no longer clear. We have no idea why Yin Yang Master invited the Lord of the Secular World, and whether the Lord of the Secular World accepted the invitation."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the game text and suddenly remembered a game plot that was triggered when he was exploring Peking.

That was the era when the Lord of the World ruled. On a New Year's Eve, the Lord of the World, along with the usurper immortal and several of his cronies, rushed to the land south of the Yangtze River.

But the final result was that they returned seriously injured. Except for the impostor, none of the other confidants returned...
