My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 540 Eyeball
"You now have the history of the mining city compiled by Shengong Daoren. When you encounter people or events recorded in the history book, you can automatically trigger the records, greatly increasing the event trigger rate and interactive branch options."

"When the Taoist Shengong saw that you accepted the two things, his guilt was alleviated a lot. After a while, the Taoist Shengong took out two things from his body. They were exactly the gunpowder grinding tools you needed."

"These two tools are forged to imitate the Sea-Suppressing Bowl and the Demon-Subduing Pestle. Not only do they look exactly the same, even the marks of wear and tear on them are the same."

"In addition, the Taoist master camouflaged it to make it look like a tool that has been used for many years, rather than a freshly forged replacement."

intimate!

Jiang Xinghuo happily put away the two things. The service and craftsmanship of the Taoist Shengong were impeccable. This way the chance of being discovered was much smaller.

If he is lucky, the gunpowder workshop master may never notice that his grinding tools have been replaced.

"Where are you going next?"

"Would you like to continue wandering around the city, or go back to the gunpowder workshop to continue searching and exploring?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose the second answer.

He found a lot of things in the mixing room of the gunpowder workshop. Now he only counted out the Sea-Suppressing Bowl and the Demon-Subduing Pestle. There were other things waiting to be sorted out. In addition, there were some places in the gunpowder workshop to explore. As for other maps inside the mining city, it was never too late to come and take a look.

"You chose to return to the Gunpowder Workshop and continue exploring."

"On the way, please wait..."

"You returned to the gunpowder shop, but before you could close the door, you saw a swordsman coming outside and saying he wanted to buy the prepared gunpowder. Do you plan to sell the gunpowder to him?"

"Anyway, you are the only one in the gunpowder shop now. Even if you sell the gunpowder, no one will find out. On the contrary, you can make a fortune in secret. No matter from which aspect, it is a good deal for you."

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it for a while, and remembered what the master chef said before he left, that he was not allowed to sell gunpowder outside. It would be better to be cautious. It is better to have less trouble than more, and there is no need to cause trouble for himself for a little incense.

"You followed the instructions of the master chef before he left. You didn't open the door to do business until they came back. You politely rejected the purchase request and locked the door tightly from the inside."

"But you didn't notice that the moment you closed the door, an extremely ferocious look flashed in the eyes of the swordsman outside."

Jiang Xinghuo narrowed his eyes slightly. The people in this mining town were really simple and honest. If anyone wanted to force a sale, then don't blame me for being rude.

"You returned to the gunpowder mixing room and heard a rustling sound outside. It seemed that someone had climbed over the wall and quietly sneaked into the yard."

"You used your talent of seeing through walls and looked outside. You found that the person coming was the swordsman you rejected. He was holding a willow-leaf light blade and walking towards the gunpowder mixing room. He was obviously a regular customer and was very familiar with the internal location of the gunpowder workshop. What are you going to do next?"

"Will you choose to temporarily avoid the limelight, hide in the dark, and avoid dealing with it head-on, or will you quietly wait here for it to see what it wants to do, and then completely deal with it?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose the latter, opened the skill panel at the bottom of the screen, found Yufenglu and chose to use it.

"You blended your body into the wind. At the same time, the Lancet Swordsman appeared in the mixing room and ran towards the cabinet next to it with a clear goal, just for the gunpowder on it."

"And just as it was about to leave, you suddenly appeared at the door, blocking its way. The Lancet Blade Master was startled at first, then he swung the blade in his hand, and several cold rays of light chopped towards your vital parts."

"However, the Lancelottery Master's strength is far from your opponent. An invisible wind blade came from behind and instantly crushed the Lancelottery Master's internal organs. The Lancelottery Master's light blade in his hand also fell to the ground."

"You have obtained, Incense +700."

"Are you still going to touch the corpse?"

Jiang Xinghuo naturally would not miss this opportunity and chose to touch the corpse without hesitation.

"You searched the body and found some things, so it can be considered a gain."

"You have obtained: a light blade scimitar (excellent), an opened sealed wax letter (common), a copy of the 'Secret Manual of the Swift Knife' (common), and half of a map of the Skyfire Mine (common)."

"Light blade scimitar (excellent item), with a slender blade and a sharp and thin blade, made of cold iron that has been hammered and tempered for thousands of times. Although it is not suitable for chopping, it is light, sharp, and can kill people invisibly."

"Please note that you can only obtain the permission to use this item after becoming a disciple of the Swordsman Alliance."

Ok?
It’s also a profession-specific prop!

Jiang Xinghuo took a look and hung the thing on the niche. Since he couldn't use it, it would be a waste to keep it, so he might as well exchange it for some incense.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo checked the secret letter again.

"This is a secret letter from the leader of the Northwest Bandits to Lance Blade, inviting him to go to the Ancient Mountain Mine outside the city tomorrow night to explore the ancient tomb together. At that time, everyone will share the treasure in the tomb equally to prevent the treasure from falling into the hands of outsiders."

"You have obtained the route map of the Ancient Mountain Mine."

Ancient Mountain Mine.

Jiang Xinghuo secretly memorized this place. This should be the location where the ancient tomb appeared. He had the jade pendant from the ancient tomb in his hand. As long as he knew the specific location, he could enter the tomb before others.

As for the remaining two things, Jiang Xinghuo took a quick look at them and found that they were of no great use.

The Quick Sword Secret Manual is a profession-specific skill and cannot be practiced without joining the Swordsman Alliance. The route map of the Skyfire Mine is also incomplete and completely useless.

"You put what you found into the magic trick, and threw the body of the Lancet Man into the dry well in the corner of the yard. From then on, this person no longer existed in the secular world."

After dealing with these things.

Jiang Xinghuo then started counting other things.

"Bloodstained Demagnetizing Robe (Excellent Item), a robe inlaid with a large amount of magnetic ore. It can offset the static electricity generated by friction to avoid accidents when mixing gunpowder. It can also defend against attacks from iron weapons."

Tsk, the preparations are quite sufficient.

Whether it is the grinding tool or this demagnetizing robe, it is to avoid accidents when grinding gunpowder.

You know, gunpowder is an unstable substance. Even the slightest static electricity or spark can send the entire gunpowder factory into the sky.

Then we will all die together.

"Incomplete intermediate gunpowder control formula (excellent item), Gunpowder Workshop intermediate gunpowder control formula, which records a more sophisticated method of gunpowder mixing." "But unfortunately, this formula is incomplete, and the key steps are specious. If you use this secret recipe to mix gunpowder, you will most likely blow yourself to pieces."

"The reason why the master chef of the gunpowder shop left this secret recipe here is probably to test whether you will steal it secretly. Do you want to put it away? Or put it back to its original place and pretend that you didn't notice anything?"

He is quite cunning.

Jiang Xinghuo complained casually. He was not very interested in this thing. What was the use of this thing in modern society? He was not the hat guy in the Middle East.

"You put the secret recipe back to its place, but you found another thing behind the mezzanine of the cabinet next to it. It seems to be a faded and damaged mural. Do you want to pick it up and take a closer look?"

"You have obtained the legacy of the Dragon King."

"You took the mural out of the interlayer. From the content on it, we know that this is a mural left by the Great Dragon King. It records that he fought with a powerful enemy in the mining city. The Dragon Slaying Sword was broken into pieces. One of the fragments was placed in the Skyfire Mine in the mining city..."

"The contents of the mural end here. Because this mural is incomplete, you can only see that the fragment of the Dragon Slaying Sword is inside the Skyfire Mine, but the exact location is not marked. If you want to find the broken sword fragment, it depends on your luck."

Fragments of the Dragon Slaying Sword?

Jiang Xinghuo's heart moved. He had known for a long time that the Dragon King lived in seclusion in the mining city, but he did not expect that the fragments of the Dragon Slaying Sword were also here, still in the Tianhuo Mine. With the Dragon Slaying Sword in his hand as a guide, perhaps he could try to find the fragment.

But as the game text just said, whether you can find it depends entirely on your luck.

Jiang Xinghuo put the mural into his magic bag, and controlled the character to explore the house to see if he could find other fragments of the mural. Naturally, he found nothing.

"Cicada Wing Crystal Blade (Ordinary Item), a tool knife made from polished crystal ore, as thin as a cicada wing, can ensure smooth cutting of gunpowder, and will not generate static electricity due to friction."

"Fine sulfur ore (excellent material), the finest among sulfur stones, is also an essential material for making gunpowder. It can also be used as medicine. It can also be placed at home to drive away snakes, insects, rats and ants. However, it is forbidden to take it directly, otherwise it will cause diseases in the blood chamber, leading to organ failure and death."

"Once upon a time, some great men read two medical books and thought they had thoroughly understood pharmacology. They took sulfur to expel the cold from their bodies, but they died of organ failure within half a month."

"High-purity black gunpowder (excellent consumable item). A pack of purified high-strength pure gunpowder is powerful enough to flatten an area within a radius of ten meters."

"Note that this is literally razed to the ground, not an exaggerated or false adjective."

Finally, all that was left was a rubbing of the mine map.

"A rubbing map of the underground fire mine (common item). There are countless mines in and around the mining city, including water-soaked mines buried underwater and underground fire mines hidden in lava."

"This rubbing map can guide you in the underground fire mine. You won't be blocked by the lava, but the mine is extremely hot. The deeper you go, the higher the temperature becomes. It can even burn you to death."

At this point, all the things found in the gunpowder mixing room have been counted. Jiang Xinghuo looked up at the time. It was already noon. He didn't plan to open for business today. He would finish exploring the map first.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Do you want to go to the masters' residence in the backyard to investigate?"

Jiang Xinghuo still chose yes. Opportunities are rare and will never come back. He would never be willing to give up such a good chance if he didn't turn the gunpowder factory upside down.

"You came to the backyard where the masters lived and started a detailed search and exploration again..."

"Investigating, please wait..."

In the following time, Jiang Xinghuo explored the gunpowder workshop without distraction, trying to find something useful to him as much as possible.

It did help him find some props materials, but the key was that they were of no use to him.

As you can tell from the name of the Gunpowder Workshop map, the materials and props you can find are basically all related to gunpowder.

Fortunately, Jiang Xinghuo had the talent of seeing through walls. He discovered a secret room where the masters lived and found something that surprised him deeply.

"You have discovered the left eye of the Taoist priest Tianzai."

"This is the lost left eye organ of one of the thirteen ancient masters, the Taoist of Natural Disasters. It contains a powerful force of disaster, but somehow it appeared here. If this news gets out, I'm afraid that the Taoist of Natural Disasters will do whatever it takes to get this eye back. Even the Taoist of Natural Disasters will personally snatch it away."

Hiss... Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but gasp. It really was true to that saying - it's so terrifying! !

How come the eyes of Tianzai Taoist are here?

Was it dug out by someone?

It can't be that it is willing to leave its eyes here? ?

Was it done by the Dragon King?

The mining city belongs to the sphere of influence of the Taoist priest of natural disasters. Theoretically, no one can go against his will. Only the big dragon king living here has the ability to hurt the other party.

He thought of the mural again. Could it be that the enemy that the Great Dragon King was facing was the Taoist of Natural Disasters? ?
Jiang Xinghuo felt his mind was in a mess, and at the same time, new game text popped up on the screen.

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You sensed eight different types of calamity forces within this eyeball, namely flood, drought, plague, locust plague, bad luck, poverty, decline, and stone torrents."

"You can carry this eyeball with you, or integrate it into your own organs. Then you will be immune to the eight kinds of disaster power contained in this eyeball."

"Do you want to integrate it into your eyes?"

Jiang Xinghuo's eyes were filled with jealousy and he wished he could merge the eyeball into his own body immediately, but in the end he suppressed the greed in his heart.

The reason is simple: fear of death.

This eye is an organ left by the Taoist Natural Disaster. No matter what the other party's plan is, if I integrate this eyeball into my body, then the Taoist Natural Disaster will most likely be able to use it to lock on to my position.

Even if he had the 'Divine Talisman for Eliminating the Evil Traces of Cause and Effect' formed by the law of cause and effect, it would be useless.
