My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 53: Master Coffin
"How are you going to deal with this grass-headed god?"

Looking at the game text that popped up on the screen, Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a while and decided that since magic didn't work, he might as well try something else.

"You took out the corpse-suppressing blue brick from your magic bag and smashed it directly onto the Grass-Headed God's back."

"Although this is just a grave brick, it is as heavy as a mountain to the Grass Head God. He was immediately pressed to the ground by the brick and could not move at all."

"You suppressed the Grass-Headed God."

"How are you going to deal with it next?"

"Should we burn it to ashes directly? Or should we just leave it alone? Or should we collect it and deal with it separately?"

There were three options. Jiang Xinghuo thought about it for a while and quickly made a choice.

If I can master the Taiyin Corpse Refining Technique when I go to Maoshan this time, then I will have to refine a zombie as the body to carry my consciousness.

Instead of taking the trouble to find a suitable corpse, it is better to directly use the body of this grass-headed god. Moreover, it is immune to magical attacks, making it the best choice for possession.

"You took away the Grass-Headed God who pretended to be dead."

"You used your innate talent as a coffin maker to make a fir coffin using local materials, covered the four sides with the Heavenly Official's Blessing, placed the Grass Head God inside, and set up many restrictions."

"You put the cedar coffin in your trick bag."

"You keep going forward."

"We are still on the road..."

"A wild yellow fox passed by, but because you changed into the skin of a coffin maker, you exuded a deadly aura that frightened it, so it left in a hurry."

"You continue on your way."

"A small town looms ahead, but just as you're trying to get a closer look, the air is quietly filled with the thick smell of money and paper ash."

"You didn't take it seriously and continued walking forward, but after walking for a while, you found yourself going around in circles and unable to get closer to the town."

"You took out a dragon and phoenix candle."

"Dragon and Phoenix Double Happiness Candle (Excellent Consumable Item), a red candle made by Lady Red with corpse oil mixed with human oil. It can provide candlelight and dispel all illusions, but the smell of burning candles can easily attract some shameful things. Duration: 10 minutes."

"Under the light of the dragon and phoenix candles, the surrounding ashes of money and paper gradually faded away, and you saw a collapsed grave in the woods."

"The mist was coming from the tomb, so you walked closer out of curiosity and found a clay brazier for burning paper inside the dilapidated tomb."

"You have discovered the cornucopia."

"Treasure Brazier (Excellent Item), made by the undertaker of Coffin Town. When the brazier is lit, countless paper money ashes will float out. Anyone who is in it will lose their mind and fall into a vicious circle until all the incense on their body is plundered."

Jiang Xinghuo finally understood. No wonder he had been going around in circles. It turned out that this thing was the cause of his trouble.

"Would you like to pick up the brazier?"

Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows. The things were delivered to his door, so there was no reason for him to refuse them. However, he was also prepared to die.

According to the usual routine of this game, even if I get the brazier, I will probably have to pay with my life.

Sure enough, just as Jiang Xinghuo controlled the character to pick up the brazier, a text popped up in the game.

"You have obtained the Cornucopia."

"But you didn't expect that there were wronged souls hiding under the grave. Just when you were holding the brazier and preparing to leave, countless ghost hands stretched out from under the grave and dragged you into the grave." "You are dead."

"Do you want to trigger the ability of the scapegoat?"

Jiang Xinghuo sighed and activated the scapegoat.

"Scapegoat (1/4)."

"You activated the scapegoat, escaped, and replaced your body with a scarecrow."

"You used the Small Five Thunder Technique."

"All of a sudden, five thunderbolts struck the top of the head, and brilliant lightning bolts fell from the sky. Under the violent bombardment, the entire tomb was completely destroyed, and the wronged souls hiding underneath were also reduced to ashes."

"You gain incense +1000."

Looking at the pop-up game text, Jiang Xinghuo felt as if he had taken a betel nut gas-relieving pill, and felt so refreshed.

"You continue on your way..."

"After more than two hours of trekking, you finally arrived at Coffin Town before dark."

"You searched around outside the town and found the shrine left by Fengdu in a small land temple."

"You have lit up the shrine of Coffin Town."

Seeing the shrine lit up, Jiang Xinghuo felt relieved. As long as the shrine in Coffin Town was lit up, even if he was really dead, he could return to Coffin Town through the shrine without having to run the map again from Dragon City.

"You walked into Coffin Town."

"Coffin Town is located at the junction of Beiyang and Guandong, but for various reasons, its economy is not very developed. It cannot be compared with Longcheng and Guandong City, let alone the prosperous Beiping City."

"As for the people in the town, most of them are engaged in industries related to funerals, and the main business is making coffins. With the rich trees and mountains outside the town, the coffins they make are also famous far and wide."

"However, since the people of Coffin Town are simple and honest, they never like to communicate with outsiders and almost never leave the town in their entire lives. Outsiders must abide by their rules before entering, otherwise they will be expelled immediately."

"You just arrived. You wandered around the streets of the town and listened to the gossips of the people. You have a preliminary understanding of the general situation of Coffin Town."

"Master Coffin, the most prestigious person in Coffin Town, is said to have lived for hundreds of years."

"After the night of dawn, it came here from outside and passed on the craft of making coffins to others, which led to the development of this place from a run-down little village into a fairly large town."

"At the same time, the coffin master is also the actual controller of this town, dominating all the power of life and death. The coffin maker is his grandson."

"But because of a conflict between the grandfather and grandson, the coffin maker gave up his identity and went to Dragon City alone."

"Besides the controller of Coffin Town, Master Coffin, there are a few other people who are not easy to mess with. You need to pay attention to them."

"The undertaker is the best craftsman in Coffin Town. The funeral supplies made by him are the most popular among the dead. They all say they are good after using them."

"The suona player is the best at playing funeral music in the town. He has a band under his command and is proficient in various funeral instruments, such as suona, drums, cymbals, etc."

"Red Embroidery Lady, there is life and there is death, there is white and there is red, the matchmaker in charge of marriages in Coffin Town lives in the third to last house in Hongluo Lane."

"The winemaker, the master who is best at making wine, makes the most popular wine for weddings and funerals."

"The Dirty Meat Immortal, the best chef in Coffin Town, is said to have learned his craft from the Imperial Kitchen, one of the three major gourmet organizations in the secular world."
