My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 520 Pawn Ticket
Jiang Xinghuo quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, as well as the possible situations that might arise after making a choice.

Although Mr. Dao is one of the twenty-four chief priests of Taoism in the secular world, he not only has an honorable status, but is also kind to others and always answers questions from those who come to him for advice.

But money can move people's hearts.

Especially on the skin of the unknown creature, no one knows what is recorded specifically. If it records some extraordinary treasure, Mr. Dao might take it away by force.

And this possibility is not low. In today's secular world where rituals and music are in chaos, no matter how outrageous things happen, Jiang Xinghuo will not be surprised at all.

So to be on the safe side, it is better to be cautious. In this way, the worst result is nothing more than spending more time.

"You told Mr. Dao that you wanted to learn the Taoist Yunji characters because you were very interested in this culture and wanted to delve deeper into it. Unfortunately, you were unable to learn the characters and therefore came to visit him to seek advice."

"After hearing what you said, Mr. Dao smiled. There are not many young people who are willing to study this knowledge like you. Although he doesn't know what you want to do by learning these words, as a disciple of the Taoist sect, he adheres to the principle of teaching everyone, so he is willing to teach you all the knowledge he has mastered."

"After saying that, Mr. Dao stood up and walked into the study. After about two words, he came out of the study with a few books."

"Mr. Dao handed you a few yellowed books in his hand, saying that there is no trick to learning Yunji characters. It is nothing more than rote memorization and diligent practice. You can take these books back to study. These are his experience of learning Yunji characters when he was young, and there are also methods for writing three thousand Yunji characters."

"You have obtained Mr. Dao's learning experience (ordinary item)."

"You have obtained the Daoist Yunji Collection of Texts (Ordinary Item)."

"You have obtained the Yunji Writing Skill (Ordinary Item)."

"You have obtained the Yunji Character Pronunciation Skill (Ordinary Item)."

"Do you want to use these props?"

Jiang Xinghuo naturally would not choose to refuse, and chose to use it without hesitation.

"Please wait……"

"There are three thousand pieces of Taoist Yunji characters, which are difficult to understand. Even if you have extraordinary memory and comprehension, it will take at least three days to fully master them."

"It will take three days for you to comprehend all the Yunji characters. Please be patient."

The game text ends here and there is no subsequent interactive content.

Jiang Xinghuo knew that even if this plot was over, he would have to wait three days to trigger related interactions again.

"Where are you going next?"

"Do you choose to go somewhere else to continue your unfinished exploration, or find a safe place to rest for the night and wait until tomorrow morning to discuss anything else?"

The game gives two options: go to other places to continue exploring and find a place to rest.

Jiang Xinghuo looked up at the wall clock. Unconsciously, it was already past ten o'clock. There was no point in going on. He should just go to bed and deal with it tomorrow.

the next morning.

After getting up, Jiang Xinghuo opened the game and went to the street to find Wuhezhong to ask about the progress of the mission.

The result was the same as he had expected. The whereabouts of Longpi Taibao had not been found yet. But it was normal when you think about it. He issued the task last night. Even if the mob had many spies, it would take some time to find Longpi Taibao's whereabouts.

Moreover, Longpi Taibao is now the target of public criticism in Peking. Countless ghosts, gods, and monsters are watching him, openly and covertly, trying to seize the remains of the Lord of the Earthly World from him.

In addition, the opponent's strength is not comparable to that of ordinary ghosts and gods. It is not an easy task to find Longpi Taibao in a short time.

Jiang Xinghuo did not feel frustrated at all, but continued to move forward with new plots and tasks.

"Where are you going first today?"

Several options are listed below the text, including the Ministry of Justice in Peking, the Datong Pawnshop, the Forbidden City, and the ruins of the Black Mountain Temple outside the city.

These places are all places that Jiang Xinghuo can explore now, especially the ruins of the Black Mountain Temple outside the city. Although he has not unlocked the sub-map, he has clues related to it.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Xinghuo finally chose to go to Datong Pawn Shop. There were still several pawn tickets in his magic bag, all of which were left by those powerful people in the secular world. He should hurry and see what he could exchange for them.

"You chose to go to Chase Pawn Shop."

"On the way, please wait..."

"You have arrived, Chase Pawn Shop."

"You entered the pawnshop. When the shopkeeper saw you, he immediately recognized you as an old customer and welcomed you in warmly. He asked if you had received a new pawn ticket and were here to redeem the corresponding items?"

Jiang Xinghuo opened the magic bag and took a look at the contents. There were several pawn tickets inside.

"Which pawn ticket do you want to redeem first?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the pawn tickets in his hand and decided to cash the two pawn tickets from Tian Gongye first.

"Tian Gong Ye's pawn ticket (0735). When Tian Gong Ye was traveling in the secular world, he was short of money, so he pawned some of his skills and crafts to the old court official in exchange for a large amount of incense. This is the pawn ticket stub."

"Tiangongye's pawn ticket (0835). In order to help Huangheye deal with floods, Tiangongye once mortgaged his formula for controlling gunpowder to Chaofengye, and in exchange for a large amount of blasting materials, he also agreed with Chaofengye not to disclose the formula to others."

"These ancient, dusty relics are the key to restarting history. They record many unknown secrets of the past. You can go to the Datong Pawn Shop in Peking and spend a sum of money to redeem the pawn item corresponding to this pawn ticket."

Tiangongye's pawn tickets are not rare in the secular world.

This gentleman was probably the type who never brought money with him when he went out. When he ran out of money for food, he would pawn a skill or craft. Fortunately, he knew a lot of things, so even after pawning thousands of skills and crafts, he didn't break out.

He now has two pawn tickets from Tian Gongye in his hand.

One is something the other party pawned for a living.

One photo shows that when Mr. Huang He was controlling floods, he adjusted the formula of gunpowder and pawned a large amount of blasting materials.

Jiang Xinghuo selected the two pawn tickets, clicked to use them, and the new game text popped up.

"You handed the two bills in your hand to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper looked at the bills in his hand and confirmed that they were the contracts signed by Master Chao Feng himself that year."

"However, if you want to redeem the goods represented by these two pawn tickets, you not only need to take out these two pawn tickets, but also pay an additional 10000 incense points."

"Do you want to pay 10000 incense points to redeem the two items that Master Tiangong pawned?"

Looking at the amount of incense sticks needed to redeem the pawn, Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but grin, thinking that this was an astronomical figure. Even with his current ability, if he wanted to collect 10000 incense sticks, he would need to light the taunting brazier and kill for half a month.

However, judging from the amount of incense required, the two items that Tiangong Ye pawned should not be that simple. Of course, it is not ruled out that the Datong Pawn Shop wanted to wrong him and deliberately made him a fool.

After thinking it over, Jiang Xinghuo decided to take a gamble and spend 10000 incense sticks to redeem the things.

If he lost the bet, he would do nothing for the next half month or so and would just block the door of the pawnshop and make trouble every day.

"You have lost, incense -10000."

"You paid a sufficient amount of incense and got back the goods that Master Tiangong had pawned."

"You have obtained the formation diagram of the Heavenly Secret Formation (rare)."

"You have obtained the Fire and Thunder Technique (rare)."

Seeing these two rare items, Jiang Xinghuo's heart moved. It seemed that his gambling luck was good. Even if he didn't make any money this time, he could probably get his money back.

"The formation diagram of the Heavenly Secret Formation (rare item), a Heavenly Secret Formation diagram that records the types of protection. This formation can be set up outside the house. If it is not activated, nothing unusual will happen. But if the formation is activated, there are three types of changes: trap, kill, and illusion, which can be freely controlled by the formation controller."

"Materials required for the Heavenly Secret Formation: ..."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the game text and thought of the ancient house that was being renovated. When the house was successfully renovated in the future, he could set up this Tianji Formation outside.

Moreover, the materials needed for setting up the formation are not difficult to find and can be easily gathered on the niche.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the fire thunder technique again.

"Fire Thunder Technique (rare item). This is the gunpowder control formula that was improved by Master Tiangong. It can release the power of gunpowder to the maximum extent. It does not require complicated and tedious processes. It only needs to use gunpowder as a medium and activate it with magic power."

"Do you want to use this item?"

Driven by curiosity, Jiang Xinghuo chose yes, and relevant information quickly flooded into his mind.

"Is this... a hand-rubbed bomb?"

Jiang Xinghuo checked the information in his mind, and his expression gradually became strange. According to the records in the information, as long as the gunpowder is wrapped with magic power and then condensed and compressed using a special method, ordinary gunpowder can explode with ten times the power.

This is obviously a hand-rubbed bomb, and it is convenient, quick, not easy to be discovered, and more importantly, powerful enough.

Jiang Xinghuo immediately went to the niche shop and bought some black gunpowder. Then, according to the method recorded in the Fire Thunder Technique, he used magic power to wrap the gunpowder and then compressed it into a fist-sized ball.

The method of use is also very simple. Just use magic power to activate it and throw it towards the target.

When not in use, you can just put it there. It is very stable and will not explode due to impact or high temperature.

"Why does this thing look more and more like a grenade?"

Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but complain, but to be on the safe side, he dispersed his magic power and only kept the black gunpowder separately.

You have to know that there are exceptions to everything. If he gets lucky one day and this thing suddenly explodes, not only his shop but also his neighbors will suffer.

Maybe I will have to go in and operate the sewing machine.

Forget it.

Jiang Xinghuo put away these things and continued to read the new text plot.

"Do you want to continue to redeem other goods?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes.

The next thing he wanted to redeem was the pawn ticket of Tianguanzhong.

"Pawn ticket of Tianguanzhong (common item), pawn ticket of Tianguanzhong, the followers of Tianguanye. You can use this pawn ticket to go to Datong Pawnshop in Beiping and spend 500 incense sticks to exchange the other party's pawned items."

"You have lost, incense -500."

"You have obtained the Heavenly Official's Blessing Seal (replica)."

"Heavenly Official's Blessing Seal (Imitation·Excellent), Heavenly Official's Blessing, No Taboos, This is a replica forged from the Heavenly Official's magical tool. Because it has been blessed by the Heavenly Official, it also has the ability to dispel some curses."

Jiang Xinghuo was not very interested in this thing, because the authentic Heavenly Official's Blessing Seal was right in his magic bag, and a replica was nothing to him.

But if it is hung in a niche, it should be able to sell for a good price.

There are endless curses in the secular world. With this thing to protect you, the danger is greatly reduced. It is a very suitable magic weapon for players.

Sure enough, less than half an hour after the item was hung on the niche, it was bought out for 1000 incense sticks.

After deducting the money spent on redeeming the goods, he made a net profit of 500 points.

No loss, no loss.

Finally, Jiang Xinghuo looked at the pawn tickets found on Chao Fengye's body.

These pawn tickets involve the most powerful people in the world, and the items pawned are naturally of great value.

"Do you want to redeem the Zhenwu Sword that Master Zhenwu pawned?"

In order to build his own Taoist temple, Master Zhenwu mortgaged his magic weapon, the Zhenwu Sword, to Master Chaofeng, and in exchange for a secret method passed down by the Taoist ancestor from him as the cornerstone for building his own Taoist temple.

This was the first thing Jiang Xinghuo chose.

But the amount of incense needed to redeem the pawn really made Jiang Xinghuo dumbfounded. He subconsciously rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had seen it wrong! !
100000 incense sticks.

To redeem the Zhenwu Sword from the pawnshop, it actually requires 100000 incense points! !

Jiang Xinghuo was surprised, but immediately chose no. You must be kidding. Asking him to spend 100000 incense sticks to redeem someone else's magic weapon was not cost-effective no matter how he thought about it. It would be better to let the Zhenwu Sword remain in the pawnshop.

The next few things also did not escape the curse of being able to look at but not eat. Whether it was Zhu Sui Xing Jun's "Life Leap Technique" or Dou Mu Ye's "Purple Star Secret", the total amount of incense needed was definitely an astronomical figure.

Jiang Xinghuo is not short of incense now, but he can't waste his money like this. He can only keep his distance and wait for an opportunity in the future.

On the contrary, the pawn ticket of the Lord of the Secular World only required 10000 incense points to be exchanged. Jiang Xinghuo didn't know why the incense point was so low, but he redeemed it without hesitation.

I had a fight with the people from the District Environmental Protection Bureau today. The noise problem late at night could not be solved. I kept making excuses and didn't get back from the police station until after 8 o'clock, so I was late for typing.
