My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 515: Immortal Binding Rope, Tomb Master

However, Jiang Xinghuo remembered the reason why the Lord of the Secular World went to Jiangnan. It seemed to be because of a strange human skin. He seemed to have discovered some secret on it, so he went to Jiangnan.

Is there any connection between the two?

Or... am I thinking too much? ?

Maybe it's all just a coincidence.

But one thing is certain, the Blood-stained Temple should have been taken away from the Lord of Ten Thousand Temples by Lord Yin and Yang.

It is not known whether the lord of the secular world is involved in this, but the strength of this True Lord of Ten Thousand Temples may be weaker than that of True Lord of Mountains and Rivers and others.

Because so far, among the known ancient powerful beings, Wan Miao Zhen Jun is the only one who has been clearly harmed.

The Geomancer destroyed part of the temple inside the body of the Lord of Ten Thousand Temples at the cost of his own death. Now, the Yin-Yang Lord has torn down the Blood-Ridge Temple. Compared with other extremely powerful people, there is really nothing to praise about him.

Of course, this does not mean that the Lord of Ten Thousand Temples is a character that can be manipulated by anyone. The Lord of Yin and Yang and the Geomancer are both the most powerful people in the world. Jiang Xinghuo has no doubt about their strength. Even those who hold the Dao may not be able to defeat them easily.

Therefore, if I have the chance to meet the Lord of Ten Thousand Temples in the future, I will definitely run as far away as possible and will never take the initiative to join in the fun and cause trouble for myself.

"You have explored the teaching field and only found these few things. What are your plans next? Do you want to continue searching here?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and decided to continue the search, just in case there were any fish that slipped through the net.

But the result he got later disappointed him. He didn't find anything else in the teaching field.

Jiang Xinghuo felt that there couldn't be only these few things in such a large teaching field. It should be the self-balancing mechanism of the game, which allowed him to find only these things.

With his current abilities, he cannot violate this rule. Even if he activates Risui's innate ability, there is a high probability that he will find nothing. Jiang Xinghuo is too lazy to continue wasting time.

Moreover, after exploring the game for such a long time, he has a general idea and understanding of the items and clues that can be found.

After players enter a new map, what kind of props they can find and what kind of clues they can trigger are closely related to their previous gaming experience, the prop abilities they have acquired, and the maps they have opened and unlocked.

Just like the torn letter that recorded the past events, if he had not entered the Forbidden City, possessed the fragments of the Golden Law in his body, and had not come into contact with the remains of the Lord of the Secular World, it would have been difficult for him to obtain any clues related to the Lord of the Secular World.

Therefore, there is no need for him to do those thankless tasks. What he can find depends entirely on his own ability. Besides, there are several other sub-maps waiting for him to unlock. There is no need to fight to the end here and take away everything.

While Jiang Xinghuo was thinking about it, new interactive options popped up on the screen.

"Where are you planning to go next?"

"Are we going to visit the graveyard of Yin Yang Village? Or are we going to visit the residence of Yin Yang Master in the village? Or are we just going to take a quick look around?"

This time, the game gave three optional answers. After exploring the teaching field, it was removed from the optional branches. If you want to explore it again, you can only use the function of the Sunshine to project your own consciousness into the secular world.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the three options and chose to go to the cemetery to find out what was going on. He guessed that there were a lot of evil things lurking there, and perhaps some treasures left by the Yin-Yang Master.

"You chose to go to the cemetery west of the village."

"On the way, please wait..."

"You have arrived at the cemetery."

"This is where Yin Yang once used corpses to exorcise evil spirits. In each grave, there is one or more corpses buried. In addition, Yin Yang left a large number of talismans on those corpses, which reacted with the bacteria in the soil to form a new talisman, and gave those corpses new life. The white-haired corpses you saw earlier were the demons catalyzed by this talisman."

"Moreover, when you walk into the site with scattered tombs, you feel as if there is a pair of eyes staring at you, but you can't find the source of that feeling. There is only a lingering smell of burning paper money, which lingers at the tip of your nose for a long time.

"Look up and take in the surrounding scene. You'll find that most of the graves have collapsed, and the bodies inside have disappeared. No one knows where they went. Only a few graves are still intact. The most conspicuous one is the one at the back of the cemetery. It stands alone under a locust tree, and there's a broken weapon stuck on it. Do you want to go take a look?"

The game gave a hint, and Jiang Xinghuo naturally would not choose to refuse, so he just walked over.

"You walk towards the grave standing under the locust tree. When you are halfway there, the treasure-holding god suddenly appears from your pupils and tells you that there is a treasure in front of the tombstone of the grave next to you. You turn your head and see that it is a bundle of bloodstained hemp rope. Do you want to go over and pick it up?"

Jiang Xinghuo hesitated for a moment, then controlled the character to walk over. Since the Treasure God had already given a hint, it must be something other than ordinary stuff, at least not an ordinary item.

"You walked to the tombstone and picked up the hemp rope on the ground. At the same time, you subconsciously opened the Tathagatagarbha in your right eye."

"You have triggered the talent of Tathagata."

"You have discovered the Immortal Binding Rope (special item)."

"The Immortal Binding Rope (special item), a rope woven by the Immortal of the Forsake with his own hair mixed with his blood. It only works on him. After activating this rope, the hemp rope will turn into a shackle that will imprison the Immortal of the Forsake and the magic power in his body. No one can untie it."

Jiang Xinghuo read the description of the game text and immediately felt something strange. From the description of the game text, this immortal rope was made by the Immortal Cangyue himself, and it was only effective for him and of no use to others.

So the question is, why did the Xianyue have to make such a prop that is only for himself? ?

And it was placed here so openly, as if waiting for someone to get it and then cause trouble for him.

on purpose?
Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a while but couldn't come up with any clue, so he simply put the rope away. He would go to Peking in two days and look for the Immortal Cangyue again. By then, everything would be clear.

"You keep going..."

"Soon, you passed through all the graves and cemeteries and came to the base of the big locust tree. Do you want to dig up the graves and see who is buried in them?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes.

"You manipulated the power of the dragon veins under the cemetery to uproot the big locust tree, and the coffin underneath broke through the soil and appeared in front of you." "It was only then that you discovered that the weapon stuck on the grave was actually a broken painted dragon weapon."

"Broken Dragon Painting Weapon (rare item), one of the 18 weapons of the Martial Lord lineage, heavy and sharp, indestructible, innate ability: White Tiger Evil Spirit."

"White Tiger Evil Qi: The evil energy condensed from the killing aura of the golden swords and iron horses can burst out with extraordinary destructive power. Even the golden body of martial arts can hardly resist its sharpness."

"You can integrate this broken painted dragon weapon into the Dragon King Dao Weapon or the Evil Star Bite, giving these two weapons the ability of the White Tiger Evil Qi, which is the nemesis of zombie-like monsters."

Jiang Xinghuo was a little surprised. He didn't expect to have an unexpected gain. A broken weapon had reached a rare quality. If it was intact, the quality would probably be even higher.

Jiang Xinghuo put away the painted dragon weapon and planned to go find Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian to upgrade his equipment after the mission here was completed. As for which weapon to integrate the White Tiger's evil spirit's ability into, Jiang Xinghuo already had a plan in mind, and he would just go there when the time came.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo continued to advance the plot.

"When you put away the painted dragon weapon, you also completely opened the coffin on the ground. Inside the coffin, you saw a skeleton that shone with the luster of jade. However, it was different from an ordinary skeleton. Not only was the skeleton much larger, but there was also a faint rainbow light shining on its head."

"You have discovered it, Tomb Master."

"The Tomb Master was a powerful figure from the underworld in ancient times. It is said that he was born from the Tomb Law and was born to be the holder of the Tomb Law. However, for some reason, he died early, leaving only a broken body buried here. There is no possibility of revival and reincarnation. The reason why the remains were buried here is to leave a body that can be controlled for the younger generations who will inherit the Tomb Law in the future."

"The magic power in the main body of the tomb has long been consumed over the long years, leaving only an indestructible skeleton. As long as you use the laws of the tomb as a guide, you can control the skeleton to move freely, and it can also guide you to find other fragments of the laws of the tomb."

Tomb Master...

The ancient powerful being from the underworld?
Looking between the lines of the text, Jiang Xinghuo tapped the screen and brought the tomb owner's body from the game into reality.

A skeleton gleaming with a jade luster appeared before my eyes. It was more than three meters tall, and its skull was glowing with a dim rainbow light. Everything was exactly as described in the game text.

Jiang Xinghuo injected the power of the law of burial into the skeleton according to the description in the game text. At the same time, a purple-black lightning flashed in his left hand. This was the power of thunder magic specifically targeting the soul. As long as there was something wrong with the skeleton, Jiang Xinghuo would use thunder magic on it without hesitation.

Fortunately, no accidents occurred. After Jiang Xinghuo injected the laws of tombs into the skeleton, he felt a strange feeling, which was similar to when he controlled the Nine-Death Cicada Shell, but also a little different. When controlling the corpse of the tomb owner, his own actions were not affected, he just needed to distract himself to control it.

Furthermore, the tomb owner's body's field of vision is synchronized with his, and he can clearly perceive everything that the skeleton sees.

Of course, this method, which is almost like creating a clone, also has its disadvantages, which is that Jiang Xinghuo needs to be distracted to control it, and the skills he masters cannot be shared. If he wants to control this skeleton to fight against others, the only means he can use are his brute force and indestructible body.

However, the effects of the props in the magic bag are not reduced, and they can be used at will regardless of which body it is.

After experimenting for a while, Jiang Xinghuo collected the tomb owner's body. Jiang Xinghuo did not believe all the descriptions given in the game text, especially the sentence that completely eliminated the possibility of resurrection and reincarnation. He just thought the text was nonsense. He would never believe that these ancient ghosts and gods born in the underworld had no backup and preparation for resurrection.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo stayed in the cemetery for a while, but no new interactions were triggered afterwards. He had to leave the cemetery and go to Yin Yang Ye’s residence, hoping there would be some good things there.

But Jiang Xinghuo didn't expect that the Yin Yang Master's residence, which was supposed to be filled with many treasures, was not open to him! He had no way of getting in! !

"You can't enter the Yin-Yang House, please leave here."

"You can't enter the Yin-Yang House, please leave here."

"You can't enter the Yin-Yang House, please leave here."

Three prompts popped up in the game text one after another, all flashing in glaring bright red fonts.

Jiang Xinghuo was a little confused for a moment and didn't understand what was going on. Did he have to meet some conditions in order to enter this so-called Yin-Yang house?

Then you better explain yourself clearly!

But the text keeps repeating the same sentence: I can't get into it.

In the end, he even triggered the trap outside the house and lost his life.

"You triggered the spell left by Yin Yang, and were sunk into the underworld by an unknown force. Your physical body fell into decay, and it is irreversible."

"You are dead."

"Do you want to activate the Fall Guy effect?"

"You have activated the scapegoat and awakened next to the shrine in Yin Yang Village. What are you going to do next? Do you want to go in and explore?"

Jiang Xinghuo glanced at the time. It was not time to open the door yet, so he decided to continue exploring the village.

Jiang Xinghuo started exploring again, but still didn't gain much. He had originally thought that he could find a way to enter the Yin-Yang House in the village.

But apart from some inconspicuous odds and ends, he didn't find any clues or information about the Yin-Yang House.

In desperation, Jiang Xinghuo had to give up this idea temporarily. Since he couldn't enter Yin Yang Ye's residence, it meant that there must be other clues that had not been found. There was no way to force it, and he couldn't get in.

But no matter what, this trip was quite fruitful.

True Fire Talisman, Lightning Gathering Talisman, Ice Melting Talisman...

Immortal binding rope, dragon painting soldiers, the corpse of the tomb owner...

These things are either related to subsequent tasks or helpful in improving one's own strength.

Therefore, whether or not he could enter Yin Yang's mansion was not that important to him.
