My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 528 Night Wanderer; Big Face Monster

"What are you going to do next?"

"How do you plan to disrupt the Night Wanderer Resurrection Ceremony? Are you going to go over and kill everyone? Or are you going to go over quietly and grab those ivory carvings on the altar?"

"Of course, you can also choose to pretend that you don't know about this. You can just let these people successfully awaken the dead Night Wanderer. Anyway, there are still tall people to hold up the sky if it collapses. There is no need for you to confront the Night Wanderer head-on."

"Because, once you choose to destroy this ritual, it is equivalent to walking against the Night Wandering God. No matter what the price, the Night Wandering God will never let you go."

"Now, the Sun Wandering God has disappeared with the wind, and I don't know if he can reappear in the world. Master Tiangong has also mysteriously disappeared, and it is unknown whether he is dead or alive. Other worldly masters who have the ability to stop the Night Wandering God have either disappeared without a trace or are enemies of the Exile race. It is impossible for them to help you and resist the wrath of the Night Wandering God."

"You'd better think twice before you act. Don't risk your life for a momentary greed. Even if the Night Wanderer really comes back to life, what does that have to do with you?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the game text without any change in expression. But just as he was about to choose to go over and snatch the ivory carving, the game interface suddenly flashed and a new text message popped up.

"Attention, Xiaoyao Mengdie has awakened from its deep sleep. Since it devoured the remaining consciousness of the Nightmare Immortal and successfully digested it and turned it into its own strength, its own Taoism has also been improved, +5."

“Xiaoyao Mengdie (Super Legend), a companion creature hatched by the ancient Huangliang Immortal with his own blood. It has the magical ability to read other people’s subconscious and construct dreams.”

"If this ability is used on others, they will unknowingly sink into the dream and live forever in a false world. They will not be aware of it until the day of death."

"If you use this ability on yourself, your body and soul will be separated."

"The soul will enter the dream created by its own subconscious mind, and the body will enter a state of suspended animation."

"In this way, life span will be greatly extended. Even if a hundred years have passed, for this body, only a few months may have passed."

"Of course, this ability also has a small drawback. Once the soul is lost in the dream, it will be forever trapped in it and can never return to reality."

"However, after the cultivation level of Xiaoyao Mengdie increased, its abilities were also strengthened and upgraded. It can not only drag a person's consciousness into a dream, but also build a dream prison. While eroding the target's consciousness, it can also plunder the essence within the body."

"If it is supplemented with illusion treasures such as the Mirage Pearl Mirror Spirit, it can also transform an area in reality into a dream."

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo's eyes suddenly lit up, thinking that he had made a big profit this time. Before his Taoism was improved, Xiaoyao Mengdie could only influence the subconscious of other creatures, but could not have a strong impact on his original body, let alone the real environment of the outside world.

But now, after Xiaoyao Mengdie devoured the remaining consciousness of the Nightmare Immortal, it possessed the ability to transform the real area into a dream.

Although it requires the help of props such as the Mirage Pearl Mirror Spirit, it is enough to prove the horror of this ability. I dare not say how much more it can do, but killing all the villagers in a village silently should not be a problem.

Moreover, he had both the Mirage Pearl and the Mirror Spirit on him. Jiang Xinghuo opened the magic bag and rummaged through it for a long time before finally finding two Mirage Pearls.

One of them was when he was exploring Guandong City and killed a mirage from Xiaoxing'anling.

The Mirage Pearl is the Yuan Dan in the opponent's body. Its level is not high and it is just a prop of excellent quality.

There is also a mirage bead, which was obtained when exploring the Songhua River in Kanto. Although it is of rare quality, it can block prying eyes below the epic level.

Jiang Xinghuo never used these two beads, but he was reluctant to hang them in the shop to sell outside, so he kept them in the corner of the magic bag. If Xiaoyao Mengdie hadn't woken up and mentioned the relevant game text, Jiang Xinghuo would have almost forgotten about these two things.

Now, these two things are just right for Xiaoyao Mengdie to use.

In addition, there is a legendary quality celestial mirror, which is a magical tool found in Shiva Village.

According to the game text, this mirror can deduce the mysteries of all things in the universe and is the magic weapon of the Mirror Immortal, one of the Eight Immortals in the secular world.

But after this prop fell into Jiang Xinghuo's hands, it never played its corresponding role. I don't know if there is a special method of use or for some other reason. In any case, it has been left in the magic bag, gathering dust.

However, Jiang Xinghuo was a little hesitant about whether to give this item to Xiaoyao Mengdie. After all, this was a legendary item. If he gave it to Xiaoyao Mengdie, what if this little thing betrayed him in the future? ?

Xiaoyao Mengdie is a monster hatched by the blood of the Huangliang Immortal. Although it is restrained by the power of the God-Binding Talisman, if the Huangliang Immortal had not died, he did not know whether the other party could have broken free of the God-Binding Talisman.

If it can be solved, all my previous investments would be equivalent to funding the enemy.

Jiang Xinghuo pondered there for a long time, and finally put away the Sky-Viewing Mirror and only gave the two mirage beads to Xiaoyao Mengdie.

"You are lost, Mirage-2."

"Xiaoyao Mengdie swallowed the two mirage beads, and the essence of the mirage energy flowed through its body. The two crystal clear butterflies flapped their wings slightly, and a cloud-like mirage energy flew out."

"The villagers of the surrounding Ping'an Village were all affected by the mirage and fell into a dream without realizing it. Even the night gods sitting around the altar gradually became fuzzy, but because they were in the dark, they did not completely lose consciousness and fall asleep."

"At the same time, those Night Gods seemed to have discovered something was wrong. One of them suddenly looked towards your location and launched an invasion and hunting curse on you."

"You have been cursed by the Night God."

"This is a mysterious curse born from darkness. It can melt the body of the cursed person without them noticing, and their soul will sink into the darkness of nothingness. It is a vicious curse that kills people without them even realizing it."

"Fortunately, you have a fragment of the Golden Law in your body. Before the curse power can explode in your body, it is purified and expelled by the power of the Golden Law."

"And the Si Ye God who launched a hunt against you also suffered the backlash of the curse. He could no longer resist the invasion of the dream world of Xiaoyao Mengdie. He instantly lost his ability to resist and fell into the dream world created by Xiaoyao Mengdie. Even if you tortured it to pieces outside, it would not resist at all."

"The other Si Ye gods also seemed to be infected, and even resorted to self-mutilation to resist the drowsiness that kept coming like a tide. But in the end, they still couldn't hold on, and just like the previous Si Ye god, they fell into a deep sleep."

"At this time, the Free and Easy Dream Butterfly landed on your shoulder and asked if you wanted to plunder the essence of these dreamers?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and felt that there was no need for this for the time being. If he could just get rid of the Night Wandering God, he could just let these relatively innocent villagers go. Besides, these villagers might be needed in the Night Wandering God's revival ceremony to be held later.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Will you choose to walk to the altar and snatch those Night Wandering God ivory carvings, or wake them up from their dreams and continue the unfinished resurrection ceremony?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the game options on the screen and without thinking too much, he directly chose the former.

"You walked to the side of the altar and put the five ivory carvings placed there into your trick bag."

"You have obtained the Night Walker's Ivory Carving +5."

"These are the anchors that the Night Wanderer left for himself to return to. Without these anchors, he can no longer return to the secular world. What are you going to do with these ivory carvings next?"

"Will you choose to smash it completely and cut off the chance of the Night Wanderer returning, or will you find another way and use it as bait to lure the Night Wanderer back, and then eradicate it completely and put an end to the trouble forever?"

The game gives two options: smash the tooth carving as bait.

Jiang Xinghuo narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly thought about the pros and cons of the options in his mind. If he chose the former and smashed the ivory carvings, the possibility of the Night Wandering God returning would be reduced to the extreme, but it was not absolutely impossible.

Because, in addition to the six ivory carvings he has obtained, there are two ivory carvings preserved in the secular world, one of which is in the Half-Ghost Village, and the chance of being found is not high.

However, the last ivory carving is missing. If someone picks it up, there is still a chance to summon the Night Wanderer back.

So to be on the safe side, Jiang Xinghuo chose the second answer, using these ivory carvings as bait to lure the Night Wandering God back, and then find a way to get rid of it.

"You chose to take a different approach and decided to end it all in one fell swoop to completely eradicate the Night Wanderer."

"But you don't know who the Night Wanderer will choose as his body for reincarnation, so what you need to do next is to let all the villagers leave, and then find a puppet substitute to stay here as the body for reincarnation, then you can easily complete this plan."

"But if you choose to do this, then you must be prepared to face the wrath of the Night Wandering God. As the top god under Fengdu, you were once famous in the underworld and frightened countless ghosts and gods in the underworld. I hope you are fully prepared."

"Do you want Xiaoyao Mengdie to send all the villagers back?"

Jiang Xinghuo didn't hesitate and chose yes directly. There was no point for those villagers to stay anyway. They might even give the Night Wandering God an opportunity to take advantage of them. It was better for them to leave as soon as possible.

"You issued a command to the Dreaming Butterfly on your shoulder, controlling all the villagers who were trapped in the dream to return to the village behind them. Only you and the few Night Gods are left here. What you need to do now is to find a puppet substitute to complete the mission of guiding the Night Gods."

When Jiang Xinghuo saw the text prompt, he thought, this is simple. When he was in Yanshi Town, he didn't find anything else, but there were many puppets of various kinds.

Jiang Xinghuo searched carefully in the inventory and selected a puppet with a self-destruct function. He then controlled the game character to go to the teahouse niche and bought five rare quality eye-covering talismans, spending a full 3000 incense points.

"Blindfolding Talisman (rare consumable item) can disguise lifeless dead objects as living creatures in the secular world, and can block the prying of spells below legendary quality, but it has no attack ability. Duration: 3 hours."

"Do you want to use this eye-blinding charm on the self-destructing puppet?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation.

Just to be on the safe side.

Jiang Xinghuo found a total of five self-destructive puppets. No matter which puppet Ye Youshen finally chooses as the body to return to, it will eventually self-destruct.

This kind of puppet was originally a prop used to die together with the enemy, and it is just right to use it here in a different way.

Moreover, Jiang Xinghuo also found the town monument in the magic bag and chose to bury it next to the altar. If he took action at that time, he could also weaken the magic power of the Night Wandering God.

Even a strong man at the level of the Master of Dao like the Mother of No Birth cannot resist the Territory-Suppressing Monument. Even if the Night Wandering God is stronger than the Mother of No Birth, he is not much stronger.

One goes down and the other goes up.

With the addition of the few monsters and demons imprisoned in the acupoint, especially the presence of the drought demon, we should be able to capture the Night Wandering God smoothly.

Take a step back.

Even if these methods fail to kill the Night Wanderer, it doesn’t matter.

Because this is only Jiang Xinghuo's first and second lines of defense.

He also left poisons targeting the soul in the puppet's body. When the Night Wandering God returned with the help of the ivory carving, he must have existed in the state of a dead soul, and these toxins might have some effect.

Of course, this is not Jiang Xinghuo's final killing method. His real killing method is the authority to activate the Beidou space-based weapon in his hand.

Now, he can activate the Beidou space-based array in outer space orbit once every three days, which is a good opportunity for him to test the waters with the Night Wanderer.

If the Night Wanderer could block these methods one by one and still be alive and well as if nothing had happened, then Jiang Xinghuo would have to accept his fate.

"You put blindfolds on several puppets. After making all the preparations, you asked Xiaoyao Mengdie to end the dream and awaken the sleeping Siye gods."

"When the Night Gods woke up and saw that there were only a few people left around the altar, they immediately became furious and asked you what happened. You just told a nonsensical lie and covered it up without much effort."

"The key is that the ivory carvings were not damaged or lost, so the Night Gods did not pursue it too much. As long as these ivory carvings exist, no matter how many people are left, even if there is only one person left, they can welcome the Night God back."

"In order to avoid any more trouble, these Night Gods decided not to delay any further and began to perform the summoning ritual using the ivory carving as a medium."

"The ceremony is in progress..."

"Please wait……"

Jiang Xinghuo waited quietly for the return of the Night Wandering God. He even went downstairs to set off firecrackers to welcome the god. When he came back, the dumplings were already in the pot.

While waiting for the dumplings to come out of the pot, the characters in the game are also ready and are waiting for the subsequent game text.

When the time jumped to 11:55 and there were five minutes left until the first day of the Lunar New Year, new text suddenly appeared in the game.

"The Night Wanderer has returned through the ivory carving and landed on the body that was prepared in advance. However, the moment the Night Wanderer returned, the other party discovered that something was wrong with this body. Do you want to activate the puppet's self-destruct function immediately?"

Jiang Xinghuo didn't delay any longer. The moment the game interaction popped up, he clicked the yes option.

The time in the game world is not static. If it were normal, it would be fine, and it didn't matter if it was early or late, but now there can't be any delay. Even a moment of hesitation may cause irreversible consequences.

"You activated the puppets' self-destruct function. The five puppets exploded at once. The dazzling flames illuminated the entire night sky. The Night Wanderer also roared angrily and discovered your hiding place."

"You were attacked by the Night Wanderer..."

"You were seriously injured and flew backwards."

"Because the Night Wanderer's strength has not yet fully recovered, and the poison in the puppet has taken effect, and the suppression of the town monument has weakened, you are lucky enough to have kept your life and did not die on the spot."

The corner of Jiang Xinghuo's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself that this Night Wanderer was quite rude, almost beating him to death even in this state. However, this was also a good opportunity to kill him.

Jiang Xinghuo did not hold back at all and released all the monsters and demons in the acupoints. He also unfolded the fields of heaven, thunder, earth and sea, as well as the limb splicing method. In short, Jiang Xinghuo used all the means he could to attack the Night Wandering God.

The Night Wandering God was very powerful, but the few Night Gods were not so lucky. They were burned to ashes by the Hanba after just one encounter.

The remaining few ivory carvings were also completely burned to ashes.

"You have destroyed the Night Walker's Ivory Sculpture - 4."

Of the five ivory carvings, one has already become the medium for the Night Wandering God to return, so the remaining four naturally cannot be kept.

But even though Jiang Xinghuo had been prepared for a long time, he still pales in comparison when facing the Night Wanderer.

Except for Hanba, who could deal with two of the evil spirits released from the acupoints, the others were seriously injured after a few encounters and retreated back into the acupoints in the body.

As for the sky, thunder, earth and sea, it's almost the same. According to the description in the game text, only Yunlong can hold on for a while.

"You noticed that Night Wanderer's breath began to weaken. He had just woken up from his death slumber and his strength had not yet fully recovered when he was hit by your continuous attacks. Even though he had an ability that was almost immortal, he still couldn't withstand such crazy attacks. He was about to return to death again. Night Wanderer finally begged for mercy from you, hoping that you would let him go. He was willing to pay a sufficient price to redeem his life."

"He has spent hundreds of years planning to return to the secular world. If he falls into a deep sleep again, he may not be able to wake up again. He may even fall into a deep sleep forever and there will be no such person anymore. I hope you can let him go for the sake of our common kinship."

"Do you want to let the ghost of the Night Wandering God go?" Jiang Xinghuo chose no without hesitation. Are you kidding? Things have developed to this point. The person has been offended to death. If I choose to let him go, wouldn't I be asking for trouble? When he recovers in the future, I will definitely die in a very ugly way.

"You rejected Night Wanderer's request and insisted on killing him. Seeing this, Night Wanderer became very ferocious and knocked Hanba away with one blow. If Hanba had not had a strong body, he would have been beaten to pieces. But even so, Hanba had no strength to fight again and turned into a beam of fire and retracted into the acupoint. But before that, its attack also fell on Night Wanderer's body, and Night Wanderer's soul also dimmed visibly."

"At this time, the cloud dragon in the sky also swept over with the power of wind and thunder. The Night Wandering God was struck by the thunder and screamed in pain, but he still broke the thunder in the sky with one punch, severely injuring the cloud dragon. He let out a mournful cry, and the sky, thunder, earth and sea domains also dissipated without a trace. However, the soul of the Night Wandering God was much weaker than before, and it was almost invisible with the naked eye."

"You have triggered the effect of the Sky-Watcher's Eye."

Jiang Xinghuo found this Sky-Peeking Eye at the Ghost Gate Research Institute. Since it conflicts with Tathagata Zang's innate abilities, he has never used it much.

This time, in order to deal with the Night Wanderer, he equipped this thing on his character, but he didn't expect that it would actually trigger the corresponding effect.

"You have observed the Night Wanderer's life state through the innate effect of the Sky-Watcher's Eye. His vitality is constantly decreasing. Although he is on the verge of death, it has stabilized. Only by adding a powerful blow can you kill him completely."

After seeing the description in the game text, Jiang Xinghuo suddenly felt confident. It seemed that all he needed was the final move.

"The Night Wanderer pounced on you. He wants to take over your body and return to the secular world."

"What are you going to do next?"

"Will you choose to use the kite-flying method to fight the Night Wanderer by controlling the distance? Or will you cut the Gordian knot and immediately activate the Beidou space-based weapons and summon space-based forces to completely destroy it?"

"Do you want to activate the permissions for Beidou space-based weapons?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the two options on the screen and without any hesitation, he directly chose to activate the space-based weapons.

The next moment, new game text popped up.

"You activated the Beidou space-based weapon in the outer space orbit, and an immense force locked onto the Night Wanderer from high in the sky..."

"You have triggered the Beidou Space-Based Array."

"Eliminating the evil spirits..."

In the vast starry sky, in outer space beyond human reach, the ancient relic glowed faintly, and then became dazzlingly bright, as if it was carrying the power of countless stars, and through the satellite ring in the space orbit, it locked onto a planet full of magnificent vitality...

The Beidou space-based array was activated, and a brilliant white light sent down a precise destructive blow from the space-based satellite, which instantly sank into the planet.

"The Beidou spacecraft has landed..."

"The Night Wanderer is dead."

"The incense was scattered from the void. You reached out to grab the incense, but you only caught some fragments. Most of the incense disappeared into the secular world along with the Night Wandering God."

"You have obtained, Incense +10000."

After seeing the message that the Night Wandering God was dead, Jiang Xinghuo breathed a sigh of relief. He finally killed this big guy. But what made him feel pity was that although the number of incense sticks was not small, it was obviously not so appropriate compared with the identity of the Night Wandering God.

The game text that popped up next just solved his doubts.

"You used the Beidou space-based weapon to kill the Night Wanderer, but its beacon did not completely collapse. Even if it died under the space-based weapon, it only fell into a long and lasting sleep. One day, it may come back again, but you have destroyed the coordinate anchor point of the Night Wanderer. Even if the other party wants to return to the secular world, he will have to go through untold hardships, and it is even possible that he will fall into a permanent sleep and will never wake up."

Jiang Xinghuo thought that was the best. This time he killed the Night Wandering God and ruined his plan to return to the secular world. If he had the chance to come back again, he would definitely find a way to kill him.

It seems that I have to find an opportunity to go to the Half-Ghost Village again and retrieve the ivory carving that was lost there. I also have to find a way to find the missing ivory carving, lest others use it to stir up trouble and try to reawaken the Night Wandering God.

While Jiang Xinghuo was thinking about these things, a death notice appeared on the screen.

"You passed out due to your injuries."

"You are dead."

"Do you want to activate the effect of the scapegoat?"

"You used the scapegoat to escape and reappeared in front of the altar in the back mountain."

"At this moment, you suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something shining where the Night Wanderer disappeared. It seemed to be a treasure dropped from the Night Wanderer. Do you want to go over and pick it up?"

Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows, thinking, is this equipment dropped? So he immediately controlled the character to go over and pick up the thing.

"You walked over and picked up the glittering object. It turned out to be an ancient bronze ring with some vague patterns carved on it. However, it was already covered by rust, so it was hard to tell what was carved on it."

"You have triggered the effect of the Sky-Watcher's Eye."

"You have analyzed the origin and secret of this bronze ring."

"You have obtained the blessing of the Sun God."

"Blessing of the Sun God (special item). This is a ring that the Sun God carries with him. After wearing it, you can obtain the Sun God's blessing and protection. When there is sunlight, your physical fitness and mana will be increased by 50%."

"The Sun Wandering God is a great god under Fengdu, but he is gentle and kind to others, which is completely different from the violent and aggressive Night Wandering God. No matter what race a person is, as long as they ask for help from the Sun Wandering God when they have difficulties, they will get corresponding help, and he will not ask for anything in return."

"Back then, the Night-Wandering God found a passage to the Land of Exile and wanted to go there to dominate that world. When the Day-Wandering God learned about it, he crossed the starry sky to stop him. In the end, in order to protect the people in the Land of Exile, he and the Night-Wandering God died together and fell into a long sleep."

"This ring was snatched from the Sun-wandering God by the Night-wandering God when they were fighting. Because the two have different personalities, this ring will not bring you any harm. You don't have to worry about the Sun-wandering God taking over your body, because he would not do such a thing."

After reading the description in the text, Jiang Xinghuo had a general understanding of the bronze ring. However, just in case, he did not use the ring as a regular prop, but put it in the magic bag. He had already decided to take out the ring and use it when needed in the future, and keep it in the magic bag at other times to avoid any problems in the future.

Although the game text describes Sunyoushen as a good person, in the face of death, even a good person will have other thoughts, so don't add to your worries.

Jiang Xinghuo solved the problem of the night-wandering god, and the dumplings in the kitchen were ready. After this meal, the New Year was over.

The next few days were basically family gatherings, especially since the two old men were there. From the first to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, they had not eaten at home. Every day was a variety of big meals. Finally, on the morning of the seventh day, Mother Jiang cooked a pot of porridge and served it with a few homemade side dishes. The whole family ate it all up. They didn't want to touch food like chicken, duck, fish and meat for half a month.

After the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, people went to work and school, and life returned to normal.

Jiang Xinghuo also returned to Binhai and continued to be his own boss.

But perhaps because the Chinese New Year had just passed, the flow of customers in the commercial street had obviously decreased a lot in recent days, and Jiang Xinghuo also had a lot more time.

However, he doesn't spend a lot of time on games. Sometimes he plays games, watches Tik Tok, reads the news, etc.

On this day, Jiang Xinghuo turned on his phone and was about to check Douyin when WeChat on his phone started to ring. He clicked on it and saw that it was a message from an outdoor mountaineering group.

Someone posted a photo of a dry well. On the photo, there was a woman in white clothes smiling at the camera in the well. She looked quite eerie and strange.

Jiang Xinghuo didn't take it seriously at first. In today's society, people will do all kinds of weird things to become famous on the Internet. He has seen photos that are even more bizarre than this.

But when he saw the name of the WeChat user, his brows raised slightly.

Wang Minglong.

He was not a stranger to this man named Wang Minglong, but he was not very familiar with him either. They had just participated in a few outdoor activities together.

But through those brief exchanges, Jiang Xinghuo could tell that this was a person who had seen the world and had a very stable personality.

I don't smoke or drink. Apart from mountain climbing, my biggest hobby is traveling. I never get involved in messy things and I even sneer at such strange and weird things.

Moreover, if you look closely at this photo, you will feel very uncomfortable, as if the person in the photo may appear at any time.

"This photo... is a bit weird?"

Jiang Xinghuo instinctively felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it, he copied the photo, found Wang Minglong's WeChat, and asked about the general situation.

But the information he got surprised Jiang Xinghuo deeply.

According to the other party's description, this photo was taken by him with his mobile phone in the backyard of Putuo Temple in the north of Binhai City.

Jiang Xinghuo had also been to the Putuo Temple. The building was quite large. Not only could foreign monks stay there, but tourists could also stay overnight. Three meals a day were provided free of charge.

Therefore, the temple is a very busy tourist attraction during holidays.

But here's where the problem lies.

Because I ate too many delicious foods during the Chinese New Year, my stomach is feeling uncomfortable.

So Wang Minglong decided to stay in Putuo Temple for a while and eat light vegetarian food to clear his stomach.

But on the night Wang Minglong checked in, something strange happened to him.

He was lying in bed playing with his mobile phone at night when he heard a knock on the door.

At that time, Wang Minglong thought that other tourists had something to do, but when he went over to open the door, he found that there was no one outside the door. There was only a row of wet footprints extending from the door to the dry well in the corner of the backyard.

This well was built during the Qing Dynasty and can barely be considered an ancient building. Later, the well dried up and was abandoned. The monks in the temple didn't care about it. Instead, they built a fence next to it and put up a sign saying that it was a place to pay New Year's greetings to the ancient spirits and people could throw coins in to make wishes.

Jiang Xinghuo didn't know whether this wish was effective or not, but the monks in the temple went down to make money quite often. Although they were all ten-cent and fifty-cent coins, there were so many people and the daily income was not a small amount.

Jiang Xinghuo knew it, and Wang Minglong, a local, naturally knew it too. After seeing the row of footprints, he began to wonder if someone was deliberately playing a joke on him.

Finally, driven by curiosity, Wang Minglong decided to go over to see what was going on, but when he walked to the well and stuck his head inside, he saw a big white face looking at him and laughing. He was so scared that he almost fell to the ground. But when he came to his senses, the big white face had disappeared.

From then on, the big-faced monster started to haunt Wang Minglong. Every night when he closed his eyes, he would see the big-faced monster squatting in the corner and smiling at him. But when he opened his eyes, there was nothing. He was exhausted.

Later, that thing became more and more noisy, and began to manipulate his mobile phone, constantly posting selfies on WeChat. It was the photo that Jiang Xinghuo saw. All the friends in Wang Minglong’s WeChat list were harassed by that thing, and many people cursed at him, saying that he sent such a lousy photo deliberately to scare people.

Wang Minglong also thought of many ways, and consulted monks and Taoists, but none of them could solve the problem.

He was almost driven crazy, and when he told others about it, they all said he was hysterical and told him to go to the hospital as soon as possible.

He really listened and went to the hospital, but it turned out that he had nothing wrong with him and was healthier than a normal person.

After finally meeting someone who took the initiative to ask about this matter, Wang Minglong told the whole story like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

After Jiang Xinghuo learned about this, he felt that it was a little familiar. How could this be something he did in the game world? ?
Could it be that some players, like him, wanted to expand their influence, so they created this big-faced monster? ?

Jiang Xinghuo felt that this was possible. Maybe other players had learned the method of setting up the beacon and came up with this idea to expand their influence in reality.

After all, in today's Internet age, the speed of information dissemination is beyond imagination. Once something is posted on the Internet, as long as it is popular enough, netizens across the country will know about it in less than half a day.

Jiang Xinghuo had considered doing this, but it was too unethical. If he did this in the real world, it might scare someone and make them incapable of getting sick. Do you think it's worth it?

Jiang Xinghuo comforted the other party on the phone, then looked up at the time. It was already around three o'clock in the afternoon. It was a good time for him to go to Putuo Temple to stay there, sleep for a night, and see what was going on.

Just do it.

Jiang Xinghuo immediately put on his woolen coat, locked the shop door, and hailed a ride to Putuo Temple in the north of the city.

The history of this Putuo Temple is quite long. It is said to have been built during the Ming Dynasty. It underwent several renovations later. Most of it was destroyed by bombs during the war and was not completely renovated until the late 1970s.

After Jiang Xinghuo arrived at the temple, he took his ID card to register for a place to stay, and then, under the guidance of a young monk, he came to where the tourists lived.

"Young Master, do you know a man named Wang Minglong?"

After entering the Zen temple, Jiang Xinghuo suddenly asked.

The young monk was stunned at first, then nodded and said, "Mr. Wang often comes to stay in the temple, so I am very familiar with him."

"Which room did he stay in last time he came?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the meditation rooms around him, turned his head and asked again, the meditation rooms in Putuo Temple are all in antique style, and they are all independent rooms, not the kind of collective dormitories where people live together.

Therefore, Jiang Xinghuo didn’t know which room Wang Minglong stayed in the last time he came, and he forgot to ask on the phone.

"It's Room A3."

The young monk said, "The first room on your left is Room 3, and next to it are Room 2 and Room 1. None of these three rooms are occupied. You can choose any one of them to stay in."

"Don't bother. I'll just choose Room A3..."

"Well, the bedding in the room is all new, you can live here without any worries. At 5pm, it's time for dinner, you can go to the dining hall by yourself, but the food in the temple is simple, no meat or fish."

The young monk walked over, unlocked the door, handed the door card to Jiang Xinghuo, and told him the time for dinner to start.
