My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 524 The Truth
"You were outside the gate of the Ministry of Justice and sensed a strange force spreading. That force was not unfamiliar to you. It was the force of the end of all things generated by the burning of the insane fire."

"This power can burn all life in the world to ashes. Only the power of the Golden Rule can counteract this power."

"You are cursed by the insanity of fire."

"You triggered the power of the fragment of the Golden Law, which offset the power of the insane fire that infected you."

"At this time, you found a lot of things on the ground outside the Ministry of Justice that looked very familiar."

"You have discovered it, Jiehui."

"Do you want to pick up the ashes piled on the ground?"

It's another robbery!

Jiang Xinghuo narrowed his eyes slightly. The ash is the product of the burning of the crazy fire. Its specific purpose is not clear yet. It may be useless, or he may not have found it yet.

However, Jiang Xinghuo estimated that the former was unlikely, as the ashes produced from the mad fire could not be completely useless.

Therefore, the only explanation is that I have not yet found the use of the robbery ashes.

"You have obtained, Robbery Ashes +3."

"These ashes were left by those monsters who accidentally approached this place and were contaminated by the madness fire and lost their minds. They have no golden law to rely on, so they cannot resist the burning of the madness fire and can only turn into ashes in endless confusion."

"What are you going to do next?"

"Would you like to push the door and walk into the Ministry of Justice to see what's going on inside, or leave here immediately to avoid getting into trouble and bringing yourself unnecessary trouble?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose the former without much thought, ready to see what was happening inside.

"You pushed the door open and walked into the dilapidated and deserted Ministry of Justice. You saw that the Ministry of Justice had now become a purgatory, with blazing flames burning everywhere. However, it was blocked by some force and did not spread to the streets outside."

"Do you want to continue exploring deeper?"

Jiang Xinghuo still chose yes.

"You walked deep into the Ministry of Justice, and saw a lot of ashes and bones that had not yet been burned out."

"You have obtained, Robbery Ashes +1, +2, +1, +3, +2..."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the increasing number of ashes and thought that there was probably no one left alive in the Ministry of Justice. All the ominous people who stayed here turned into ashes. He didn't know whether the usurper immortal was still there. If he turned into ashes too, then this trip might have been in vain.

While he was thinking about these things, new game text popped up on the screen.

"You saw a creature with flames all over its body wandering out from the depths of the Ministry of Justice."

"Its head has been completely entangled in the insane fire, and its original appearance can no longer be seen clearly. However, judging from the style of the remaining clothes on its body, it should be one of the evil people who usurped the immortal's subordinates."

"They stayed here to protect the Usurping Immortal, but in the end they still couldn't escape being contaminated by the Mad Fire."

"This insane ghost that has fallen into eternal confusion seems to have discovered your presence. It paused for a moment, then changed its original direction and walked towards your location."

"How do you plan to deal with this insane fire polluter?"

"Will you choose to leave here first and avoid his attack for the time being, or will you help him escape from his insanity and stop wandering here forever?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the two options in front of him, thought for a while, and chose the second answer to help the other party get rid of the epilepsy.

This was also the purpose of his coming here, to help the Weapon-Transcending Immortal get rid of the troubles of the madness fire. It was a good opportunity for him to try his hand on this ominous creature first and see if he could rescue it from the madness fire with his current golden law.

"You chose to go over and help the other person get rid of it. Instead of avoiding it, you took the initiative to walk in that direction."

"You have triggered the power of the fragment of the Golden Law."

"A force that is completely opposite to the force of the end of all things spreads out from between your hands and covers the body of the person polluted by the insane fire. The two forces begin to devour each other, and the insane fire on the other person's body also begins to gradually extinguish at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally disappears without a trace."

"This ominous being that was entangled by the fire of madness has been freed from the fire of madness. Fortunately, there is still a trace of residual soul that has not completely dissipated."

"Only then did you realize that this ominous person who was possessed by the insane fire was actually the one you met last time."

"The ominous creature is grateful for your kindness. If it weren't for your help, it would never be able to get rid of the power of the crazy fire."

"Under the guidance of this ominous being, you learned the location of the Usurping Immortal. At the same time, you also learned from it that the Usurping Immortal had completely fallen into the madness and could no longer stay awake."

"However, before the Immortal of the Immortal completely loses his mind, isolating this house from the outside world can prevent the spread of the madness to the outside in a short period of time."

"What are you going to do now?"

"Should we go to the place mentioned by the Unlucky People and free the Usurping Immortal from the Madness, or should we pretend that we don't know about this, search here and leave?"

The game gave two options, and Jiang Xinghuo chose to find the Immortal of the Chaos. He had a hunch that if he could help the Immortal of the Chaos free himself from the madness, the reward he would receive would be far beyond his imagination.

"You chose to look for the Usurping Immortal."

"You followed the instructions of that ominous person and soon arrived at the backyard of the Ministry of Justice, where you found the usurper immortal who was entangled in insane fire."

"At this moment, the Immortal of Usurpation is sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, with his limbs firmly fixed to the ground by chains. You also sensed a familiar force on those chains. They seemed to be objects blessed by the Golden Law, otherwise they would not be able to withstand the burning of the Mad Fire."

"Do you want to try to extinguish the madness of the usurper fairy?"

Jiang Xinghuo's eyes flickered slightly. Success or failure depended on this one try. If it failed, that would be the fate of the usurper immortal, and it was destined to be haunted by the madness fire.

However, it seems that the strength of this Usurpation Immortal may be stronger than the Burial Immortal who died in the secret room of the Firearm Camp of Fire Lord City. Otherwise, the Burial Immortal has been dead for a long time, and the Usurpation Immortal could not have persisted until now. Of course, another possibility is not ruled out, that is, the Usurpation Immortal has been blessed by the Lord of the Secular World, and there is a remnant of the Golden Law in his body, so he can persist for so many years under the Mad Fire.

"You walked in front of the Usurping Immortal, but before you could get close to it, you felt the mad fire containing the power of the end of all things, sweeping towards you like a tide, as if it wanted to drag you into the abyss from which there is no escape."

"Fortunately, the golden law in your body took effect in time and offset the insanity that was spreading towards you."

"Your hands, emitting a faint golden light, were placed on the body of the usurper immortal. The power of the golden law slowly enveloped its body, and soon suppressed the raging insanity."

"The eyes of the Immortal of the Forbidden Realm, which were filled with confusion and madness, also flashed with a hint of clarity, as if he had broken free from his confusion."

"However, you know that this is only a temporary expedient, because the Xianyue Immortal has been contaminated by the Madness Fire for too long. With the golden law you have now, it is impossible to completely eliminate the Madness Fire. It can only be said that the development and spread of the Madness Fire have been suppressed. After a long time, it will eventually be doomed."

"At the same time, the Immortal of the Forbidden Realm also sensed your aura and knew that you came from the race that was exiled from the secular world back then."

"The Immortal of the Forbidden City originally had a lot to say to you, but it has used all its strength to suppress its anger, so it doesn't have much energy to tell you the truth of what happened back then. It just wants you to go to the depths of the Forbidden City, where you will find everything you want to know. Then you will naturally know what happened back then."

"Moreover, you also learned about the information of the City of Origin from the Immortal of Usurpation. If you have the opportunity to enter the City of Origin, you can go to the third underground floor of the library of the City of Origin. There are also secrets about the truth of the secular world there."

"After saying this, the Immortal Yue closed his eyes and began to mobilize the feudal laws in his body, engaging in an endless tug-of-war with the power of the Mad Fire."

"Feudal laws are originally unable to resist the power of the Mad Fire, but the Usurping Immortal was blessed by the Golden Law in the past. In addition, you just used the Golden Law to awaken it from its lost state of depravity, allowing it to once again possess the ability to contend with the Mad Fire. For at least a year, it can be guaranteed that it will not be completely contaminated by the Mad Fire."

"If you want to completely resolve the hidden dangers of the Usurping Immortal, then you must at least collect more than 20% of the integrity of the Golden Law Fragments. Only in this way can you extinguish the madness of the Usurping Immortal."

When Jiang Xinghuo saw the text, his brows furrowed. It was not an easy task to obtain more than 20% of the golden law fragments.

He currently possesses less than 10% of the fragments of the law. It would be very difficult to get more than 20%, not to mention that he doesn't know the whereabouts of those fragments of the law.

Besides, according to the information obtained from the Usurping Immortal, neither the Forbidden City nor the City of Origin are ordinary places. But if you think about it carefully, you still have no clue, so you still have to rely on yourself to find it.

And what is the truth that the Usurping Immortal is talking about? Is there really some unknown reason why the secular humans were exiled to Earth? ?

He remembered that the game text mentioned that the reason why those who were exiled back then lost all their extraordinary powers was because of this usurper immortal who was behind the scenes.

But now it seems that all of this may have hidden reasons unknown to outsiders.

After Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a while, he stopped thinking about it. There will always be a way out when you reach the mountain. It is useless to think about it now, and it will only add to your troubles.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Will you choose to leave the Ministry of Justice and go somewhere else, or stay here and continue your unfinished exploration?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and decided to stay and continue exploring. He believed that there must be many things hidden here.

"You chose to stay here and continue exploring."

"Please wait……"

"You used your treasure-hunting eyes and your ability to see through things to search the area carefully. You actually found a few dusty things in the ruins in the corner."

"You have obtained a soul-beating whip (excellent), a feudal gourd (rare), a hanging rope (excellent), and a boning knife (common)."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the four props and began to count them one by one.

"Soul-beating Whip (Excellent Item), a whip forged by Xianyue when he was young. It is made of willow branches mixed with peach branches. It does not leave any marks on a person, but it can bring intense pain to the soul. It was once a torture instrument of the Xingmen Cultivation ...

Xingmen pulse?
Jiang Xinghuo was stunned for a moment, then slapped his head, wondering how could he have forgotten this place.

When he was in Lingshen Village, he obtained the legacy left by Lingshen, including the map of the ruins of the main altar of the Xingmen sect.

Back then, the God of Mountains broke through the main mountain gate of the Xingmen sect and built a Jingguan for the 300 disciples in the sect, causing this lineage to disappear in the secular world.

It just so happens that the mountain gate of the Xingmen vein is outside the city of Peking, so we can go there together to open this map.

Jiang Xinghuo took out the soul-beating whip and took a look at it. It was just like an ordinary willow branch. He tried to whip his arm with it. Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but gasp as an unbearable pain was transmitted from his brain.

He lowered his eyes again to look at the place where the willow branch had just hit, and there was no mark left on the skin, let alone a wound, even the oily skin was not broken at all.

"It's quite weird..."

Jiang Xinghuo played with it for a while, then put the thing into the magic bag and continued to look at other things.

"Feudal Gourd (rare item). This is a gourd forged by the Usurping Immortal based on feudal laws. It can release an endless amount of sharp energy. Anyone killed by this gourd, no matter what method is used, cannot be resurrected again."

"Attention, if the exile is killed by the feudal gourd, he will not be able to be resurrected within three days. He can only wake up after three days."

Seeing the description of this gourd in the text, Jiang Xinghuo's eyes suddenly lit up. If this thing was used against other players, the result would be disastrous. If killed once, the player would not be able to log into the game within three days, which was equivalent to a forced ban for three days. If used properly, it might play a big role at a critical moment.

Jiang Xinghuo happily put the things away and looked at the hanging rope, which was also a torture instrument of Xingmenmai, specially used for hanging. It had the characteristic of being unbreakable. As long as it was put around the enemy's neck, it would never be released until the enemy was strangled to death.

Finally, only the boning knife was left, which was still the magic weapon of Xingmenmai.

Jiang Xinghuo felt a little strange. He found four things in total, three of which were passed down from the Xingmen sect. He didn't know whether these things were left behind by the Xianyue Immortal or by the disciples of the Xingmen sect.

After all, this is the Ministry of Justice, and it is a professional counterpart to the Criminal Department.

At this point, everything has been accounted for.

The most valuable one should be the feudal gourd...
