My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 521 Mission
"You have lost, incense -10000."

"You have obtained the items pawned by the Lord of the World."

"Look carefully at the thing in your hand. It is an exquisitely crafted ball with distinct layers. There are seven layers inside and outside. There are hundreds of holes all over the body. There is a ball of silver light flashing in the middle. It is unclear what is sealed inside."

"You tried to use violence to destroy this ingenious ball, but found that the seemingly fragile bone was extremely hard. It was difficult to destroy it from the outside with your strength."

"But the Collection of Strange Tales from Folk Culture and Wildlife once recorded a story about a magical ball."

"It is said that this object of exquisite craftsmanship is a rare treasure that is the result of the combination of the right time and place. If you want to open it, you must find the key to this ingenious ball. Otherwise, no matter what means you use, you will not be able to open it."

Tsk, we still need the key. Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a while. Since this thing was pawned by the Lord of the Secular World to Lord Chaofeng, the key is most likely in his hands.

But now the Lord of the Secular World has fallen. If the key still exists, then the most likely place is the Forbidden City, the place where living beings are forbidden.

After thinking about it, Jiang Xinghuo threw the thing into the magic bag, because he was not considering entering the Forbidden City for the time being.

That place is filled with evil from the inside out. Rushing in rashly would be futile and would only waste your resurrection opportunities.

I'd better wait until I go to the Forbidden City next time and then try to find the key.

In fact, if Jiang Xinghuo went in now, with the protection of the talisman drawn by the Lord of the Secular World with his own blood, there is still a great chance that he would get out of the Forbidden City safely.

But that thing is a disposable prop, and it will disappear after use, so Jiang Xinghuo decided to look for clues to the mission in the Forbidden City as much as possible first, and then use the talisman when the time comes to maximize its value.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo left the pawnshop with the remaining pawn tickets. Although the pawnshop looked inconspicuous, it was actually a den of money. If he redeemed all the goods corresponding to the pawn tickets in his hand, he would have to lose at least two-thirds of his money.

Moreover, it is still unclear whether the redeemed goods can be used, not to mention that the original owners of those things are all famous masters in the secular world. If they come to you and want to take the things back, you can decide whether to give them to them or not.

If you don't give it to me, I guess it will be considered as robbing me.

If you give it, the incense will be wasted.

Jiang Xinghuo didn't believe that they would compensate him at the original price. Considering the identities of those powerful men, they could redeem those things even without the pawn ticket stub as long as they showed their identities.

Of course, there is another possibility that nothing will happen and the redeemed goods will belong to you from now on.

But Jiang Xinghuo is not willing to gamble on this possibility.

After leaving Datong Pawn Shop, Jiang Xinghuo chose to log off. He still had some things to do today. The exterior of the old house in the suburbs had been roughly repaired, but as for the details inside, they would have to wait until the beginning of next spring when the weather got warmer.

Jiang Xinghuo planned to go over and take a look first, and bury some useful Feng Shui props in the house first, to avoid having to start construction in the future and destroy the environment.

This trip lasted a whole morning. At noon, we found a clean restaurant outside. After a simple lunch, we returned to the store and were busy for the whole afternoon.

He has acquired a lot of warm protective gear for winter these days. They have folk style and are fashionable at the same time. The price is relatively reasonable and the quality is acceptable. Therefore, they became very popular after being put on the shelves. Local college students are the key customers, and tourists from the south to the north are also very interested in these things.

In the evening, Jiang Xinghuo locked the door and had dinner before continuing to play the game.

"You opened your eyes in the Fuchun Teahouse in Beiping City. After a day's rest, you feel refreshed and have regained your former vitality. Where do you plan to go next?"

Jiang Xinghuo took a look at the options provided by the game. He had already explored most of the maps provided, and there would not be any big gains if he went further. So he wanted to leave the teahouse and go to the ruins of the Black Mountain Temple outside the city to check it out.

But who knew that at this moment, a new text suddenly popped up, interrupting his original thoughts and plans.

"The Linglou Altar summons all ghost hunters to return to the Bafang Linglou. Do you want to respond to the call of the Linglou Altar through the teleportation function?"

Jiang Xinghuo narrowed his eyes, wondering what was going on. Didn't they say that the Ghost Hunter had a free identity and could stay or go as they pleased? Why did the summoning function appear again?

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and decided to go over and take a look. What if he could find anything? It wouldn’t delay anything anyway.

"You responded to the call of the Linglou altar. A mysterious force descended from the sky and instantly enveloped your body, bringing you from Beiping to the Linglou."

"Pay attention, because you are the first ghost hunter to respond to the call of the Linglou altar, you can obtain two rewards granted by the altar later."

Hmm? There is such a good thing?

It seems that this altar understands human nature very well and knows that if you want a horse to run faster, you have to let it eat more grass.

Unlike some unscrupulous people, who take one salary and ask you to do eight kinds of work, from cleaning, to opening and closing the lights, to handing out flyers, promoting the unit, and finally completing the task of receiving patients. They wish they could let you do all the work by yourself.

They even say that they train you and take a fancy to you for the sake of relatives, but you end up working day and night and only get 1,200 yuan. After three months, they talk to you again and say that you are not suitable and you can pack up and leave. Damn it!!!
"You waited in front of the altar in the Linglou for a while, and then several figures appeared beside it. They were all experienced ghost hunters."

"After a while, the altar turned off the summoning function and issued a task to the ghost hunters who were already in place. It hopes that you can go to Beiping City, find the Dragon Skin Guardian hiding there, and then snatch the remains of the Lord of the World from him and bring it here."

"Please note that this task is not mandatory. It is up to you whether to accept it or not. But if you can complete this task, the altar will not only give you corresponding rewards, but also open up other areas in the Spirit Building for you to explore freely."

"Do you want to accept this mission?"

Jiang Xinghuo read the content of the text again. It just said that whether to accept it or not was entirely up to personal will. There was no strict requirement to complete it, nor did it say that after finding it, the item must be handed over to the altar. Everything was up to one's own will.

There is nothing more to say then. Just take on this task first. As for subsequent developments, we will see how the situation develops when the time comes.

"You have accepted the mission of the Spirit Tower Altar to find the remains of the Lord of the Secular World in the hands of Longpi Taibao."

"You have obtained the Tracking Talisman (Rare)."

"When you carry this talisman with you, if you sense the breath of Longpi Taibao, the talisman will automatically give you a prompt and guide you to find his location."

"At this time, the altar flashed a dazzling light, and all the ghost hunters were sent to the vicinity of Beiping. Only you stayed in the spirit building. The altar will fulfill its previous promise and grant you two actions as a reward."

"You have obtained the Ring of the Lord of the Secular World (special)." "You have obtained partial authority of the Big Dipper Sky-Based Array (special)."

"The ring of the Lord of the World (special item). This ring was once used by the Lord of the World. It is stained with some of the Lord of the World's aura. Its symbolic meaning is greater than its practical meaning. However, for those old and young people, the aura on this ring represents the supreme imperial power. You can use this ring to order them to do things for you."

"Part of the authority of the Beidou Space-Based Array (special props), the space-based weapons carried in the orbit of the moon and the Beidou star can cause small-scale coverage of destructive strikes on the outer space, the ground, the underground, and the sea surface, and can also summon meteorites to fall from the sky."

"There are talismans and formations on the surface of the space-based weapon launch platform that conceal its aura. All satellites, radars and other electronic equipment cannot effectively observe it."

"But since you only have partial access to space-based weapons, you only have one chance to use them every seven days."

"It is detected that you already have some authority over the Beidou Space Array. Do you want to merge the two authority fragments into one?"

Beidou Space-Based Array!!

Jiang Xinghuo immediately thought of the fragments of space-based weapons authority obtained in the Ghost Gate Laboratory, which could cause a devastating blow to the enemy.

At that time, he thought that this space-based weapon could only be used on Earth, but he didn't expect that it could also be used in the secular world.

"You chose to fuse the two fragments together."

"Fusion is in progress, please wait..."

Jiang Xinghuo waited for about five minutes, and then there was a ding sound in the game, prompting him that the fragments had been fused.

"You have successfully fused the space-based weapon key fragments."

"You have obtained partial authority over Beidou's space-based weapons."

"Attention, your authority has been upgraded after the fusion. You can use space-based weapons once every three days to carry out targeted destructive strikes on creatures in the exile area or the secular world."

The cooling time of the Beidou space-based array has been shortened from seven days to three days, which means that its safety has also been greatly improved.

As long as it is not some kind of monster that is too rebellious, it is enough to use the Beidou Space-based Formation to completely kill it.

Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but have other thoughts.

If space-based weapons can be used in the secular world, then can he take the initiative to provoke some powerful monsters, and then use space-based weapons to kill them, and then lick their loot and touch their corpses? ?

Jiang Xinghuo felt that this matter had great potential, and it might be a stable windfall, but he had to consider carefully when choosing a target, so as not to fail to kill the person and then get himself involved.

After obtaining these two things, Jiang Xinghuo was teleported back to Beiping City, still in the Fuchun Teahouse.

"Where are you going next?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the options below. It was still the same sub-maps, without any novelty. He wanted to go to the Ministry of Justice again, but there was no answer in the options given. There was no way. Jiang Xinghuo could only choose to take a quick look and walk around the city of Beiping.

He obtained the "Tracking Talisman" from the Linglou Altar, and could take this opportunity to look for Longpi Taibao and see if he could find it before the mob.

"You wandered around the city of Peking..."

"You have come to the Kitchen God Temple Fair in the east of the city. In two days it will be the Little New Year. The citizens of Beiping City have also started to get busy, offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God and praying for a safe and auspicious start for themselves."

"Suddenly, you feel the tracking charm on your body getting slightly hot. You take it out and see that the spell on it begins to move around and turns into deep red veins, pointing to a direction. Dragon Skin Taibao is over there. Do you want to chase him?"

When Jiang Xinghuo saw the text, he thought what a coincidence that he met Longpi Taibao here. He definitely couldn't miss this opportunity, so he directly chose yes.

"You followed the tracking charm, but before you got close, you heard a loud bang and a flash of fire exploded like a meteor. Someone had found the trail of Longpi Taibao before you and started fighting with him."

"Unfortunately, that man was no match for Longpi Taibao. He was killed by Longpi Taibao after only a short fight."

"Longpi Taibao also took advantage of the chaos and fled into the crowd and disappeared. When you chased him, the tracking talisman had lost its effect and returned to its original appearance."

"You look at the corpse of the monster on the ground and realize that it is the ghost hunter who accepted the mission today. Do you want to touch his corpse?"

Jiang Xinghuo directly chose yes. Since he didn’t find Longpi Taibao, it would be nice to have some other gains.

"You conducted an inquest on the body and found some things. You also gained something."

"You have obtained the tracking talisman."

Jiang Xinghuo took out a tracking talisman and some other miscellaneous items from the corpse of the ghost hunter, but none of them were particularly valuable.

The only thing that surprised him was the game text that popped up next.

"You triggered it, the coroner has a general understanding."

"You carefully examined the wounds on the body and found that the wounds had special marks. Through the innate ability of Tathagata, you deciphered the method used by Longpi Taibao to kill him."

"You have obtained the Dragon Roar Palm secret manual (incomplete)."

"The incomplete Dragon Roar Palm secret manual (excellent item), the unique skill of Longpi Taibao, uses the strong true energy to send out palm power, which can shatter the bones and internal organs of the whole body. However, from the outside, there is no damage on the surface of the organs and bones. Only after dissection, will it be found that the inside has been shattered."

"Do you want to use this item?"

"Please note that this unique skill can only be practiced by martial arts practitioners. It is difficult for practitioners of other systems to exert its power, but it can still be used to strengthen muscles and bones."
