My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 549 Killing the Monk and Taoist Priest

"You chose to just take a quick stroll around the city."

"Although the mining town is located in the northwest, it is quite lively at night. During the first month of the year, there will be social performances, lantern shows, and the God of Happiness will be welcomed every night, in the hope that all diseases will not occur in the coming year, and the family will be harmonious and healthy."

"You walk on the bustling streets, watching the grand festival full of regional folk customs, and your horizons are broadened a lot. Especially when you see the burning bonfire, you feel that your own Kitchen God Fire is stirring. Do you want to use the method of gathering fire to increase the power and level of the Kitchen God Fire?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without much thought, and then the game character used the technique of concentrated fire.

"You draw upon the fires of the outside world."

"Your Kitchen God Fire level has been increased by +2."

"Your stove god fire has a strong inhibitory effect on malnutrition and the evil spirits spawned by related forces."

"But at this moment, you suddenly discovered that among the crowd of people watching the excitement, there were some figures sneaking forward, and they were emitting a faint fishy smell that made you dizzy."

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You observe these figures through the vision of Tathagatagarbha, and soon you will understand the secrets hidden under these skins."

"You have been discovered, follower of the rickets god."

"The God of Masturbation is a great god in the northwest. He controls the power of masturbation and is also the mortal enemy of those masturbators. The two sides have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, with both sides winning and losing, but they have never been able to completely eliminate the other side."

"The followers of the God of Malnut are creatures that have been blessed by the God of Malnut. They may come from different races in the secular world, but since they joined the God of Malnut's sect, they have become carriers of germs. They have caused more than one plague in the northwest, and the bodies of the victims have piled up like mountains."

"Now, these followers of the rickets god have reappeared in front of people in a different guise. I guess they have some hidden conspiracy. What are you going to do next?"

"Will you choose to pretend that you didn't see these rickets believers, or will you expose their identities in public and let those rickets people come and deal with them?"

"Be careful. Due to your status as an exile, your words may not be believed by others. They may even bring you unnecessary trouble."

"So, what are your plans next?"

Looking at the two options that popped up on the game interface, Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and finally chose the latter, revealing the identity information of these rickets god believers.

As for what kind of changes will occur in the future, we will just move forward and talk about it when the time comes.

"You chose to reveal the identities of those followers of the ricket god."

"The followers of the rickets god are notorious in the northwest of the secular world. Whenever they encounter these filthy creatures, everyone will attack them with a common hatred."

"Although you are an exile cursed and spurned by the secular world, you are still not good enough in front of these leprosy god believers. At least the hostility they have towards you should be ranked behind theirs."

"These followers of the ricket god didn't expect you to reveal their identities. They were caught off guard and couldn't even escape. They were directly surrounded by people."

"Those Liaogan people also came over waving torches, transforming the Liaogan fire into fire dragons, which pounced on the surrounded believers of the God of the God with bared fangs and claws."

"These rickets-god followers also knew that they could not escape their fate, so they vented all their anger on you, using their own flesh and blood to cast the rickets curse on you."

"You have been attacked by the rickets curse. The highly contagious rickets virus is spreading rapidly through your body."

In reality, Jiang Xinghuo also felt his skin begin to turn red, and became swollen and hot at a speed visible to the naked eye. His skin even showed signs of ulceration.

But before he felt the pain, the abnormality on his skin disappeared like ice and snow.

At the same time, new text message prompts came from the game.

"You have triggered the Five Grains Samsara Body."

"Your Grain Samsara Body sensed the invasion of malnutrition bacteria and automatically triggered the protective mechanism. It also produced antibodies based on the bacteria that infected your body, protecting you from the harm of malnutrition."

"Your Five Grain Samsara Body's level has been increased by +2."

"The abnormality in your body gradually disappears, and even the germs in the air disappear without a trace, and can no longer cause harm to others."

"The people around you who thought you were doomed also gathered around in surprise. It was the first time they saw someone eliminate the high-intensity damage caused by the malnutrition curse so easily."

"At this time, those rickets people also came over from a distance. They wanted to use the rickets fire to solve your problem, but before they could make a move, you had already solved the rickets curse on your body."

"Moreover, they are very grateful for your kindness tonight. If you hadn't discovered the traces of the rickets believers, they would have triggered the rickets curse when they came to the center of the crowd. It would have brought a nightmare to everyone. Even if they had the rickets fire, it would have been difficult to control the situation. If the infection spread, the entire mining city would have easily become a deadly place."

"You not only saved the lives and property of those present, but also indirectly saved the safety of the vast majority of people in the mining town."

"Your reputation in the northwest of the secular world has been improved, +2."

"Your reputation in different regions and industries will greatly affect the events or choices you can trigger when you come into contact with these regions or industries in the future."

"As a reward for your kindness tonight, these leopards are willing to give you a gift as a token of their appreciation and gratitude. Do you want to accept their gift?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without any hesitation. There was no reason to refuse a gift that was delivered to the door.

"You have obtained the fire of scorch."

"Liaokan Fire Seed (Excellent Material). This is the fire that Liaokan people have accumulated over the years of curing illnesses and saving lives. It can not only improve your resistance to high temperature burns, but also give you the talent of [Random Fire to Suppress Evils]."

"The fire of scorching heat can suppress evil: Fire can eliminate evil spirits and bring peace to all families. The traces left by the burning of scorching heat can protect the family from the troubles of external evil spirits."

"Do you want to merge this burning fire into the stove god's fire?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose fusion, and the Kitchen God's Fire was enhanced again, and the high temperature resistance was also increased.

"You have merged with the fire of Liaogan Fire. When you are in the northwest of the secular world, the power of your Liaogan Fire will be temporarily increased by 30%. Once you leave the northwest, the attribute will automatically dissipate."

"The crowd around you gradually dispersed. What are you going to do next? Are you going to continue wandering around the mining city?" "You chose to continue wandering around the streets of the mining city. After walking through a few busy alleys, you became bored and wanted to..."

"You suddenly notice a lot of noise ahead and a lot of people gathered around. Do you want to go over and take a closer look at what's going on?"

Ok?
Seeing this text that suddenly popped up, Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows and thought, is this a benefit after gaining fame? ?

The last sentence of text that appears is obviously not within the normal plot.

The original plot development should have been that nothing was discovered, but before the interactive option popped up, the original text was interrupted by the new content that popped up.

This should be the change after the reputation is improved.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo controlled the character and walked over, intending to see what this newly triggered interactive plot was.

"You walked over and squeezed to the front, and found that everyone was looking at the notice board of the City Lord's Mansion. It said that due to the recent frequent murders in the city, the patrol station was recruiting new people. Those who are interested can go to the patrol station with the notice to apply."

"Do you have any intention of applying for a job at the police station?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it for a while and decided that he could give it a try. Maybe he could get some unexpected gains. If it didn't work, he could just leave. It wouldn't take much time anyway.

"You took down a notice and asked for the location of the police station. When you were about to go there, you found that everyone around you was looking at you with pity, as if they were looking at a dying person."

"When you were feeling surprised, someone around you told you the reason. It turned out that the police station had suffered heavy losses recently. It was said that a big thief came from Fujian and Guangdong. He was not only proficient in all kinds of martial arts techniques of the National Martial Arts Hall, but also the descendant of the Taoist master of Lushan. He could kill people without anyone noticing with his Five Ghosts Technique."

"In order to catch this big thief, hundreds of people have died in the patrol station in recent days. The City Lord's Mansion has issued a notice to recruit new people. Others also know that they can't wade into this muddy water, so most of the people present are here to watch the fun. There are very few people who dare to take the lead in applying for the patrol position. They are either local homeless desperadoes or outsiders with special skills and other plans."

"Now that you know the whole story, do you still want to go to the police station?"

Jiang Xinghuo still insisted on his choice and controlled the character to go to the police station without hesitation.

He also happened to know how to practice the Five Ghost Technique, but the method was not complete. He could only use it to do some sneaky things, but he could never use it to kill people.

If I'm lucky this time, maybe I can obtain the complete Five Ghosts Technique from that person.

"You squeezed out of the crowd with the notice and walked towards the police station. Some people felt sorry for you, some mocked you for being ignorant of your own life, and some thought you were very brave and skilled. Since you dared to get involved in this matter, you must have your own confidence and confidence."

"On the way, please wait..."

"You have arrived at the police station."

"Do you want to enter the police station?"

"You walked into the police station and explained your purpose. You were successfully hired without much effort and obtained a document. This is the main enemy you will face next."

"You have obtained the file of the Taoist killer."

"Do you plan to look through this file right away, or find a place to rest?"

Jiang Xinghuo didn't waste any time and chose to look through the files directly.

The key is that you never know when you might run into the other party. If you don’t know the other party’s background, the situation will be somewhat disadvantageous to you.

"You checked the files on the monk-killer."

"According to archive records, this Taoist monk killer was originally the son of a fisherman in the Fujian and Guangdong regions. Because martial arts were popular in the area, everyone from three-year-old children to 80-year-old elders knew some martial arts. Influenced by this, the Taoist monk killer also liked martial arts since he was young, and became a disciple of a master of internal martial arts at the National Martial Arts Museum. He practiced internal martial arts to explore the hidden secrets of the human body."

"But later, the monk killer accidentally obtained the inheritance of the Taoist master of Lushan, which attracted the covetousness of a wandering monk. Not only did his entire family die at the hands of the monk, but his master's sect was also implicated."

"Since then, the monk killer changed his name and began to slaughter all monks wantonly. At the very least, he would kill people for treasures, and at the worst, he would slaughter entire families. In the end, the Buddhists in Fujian and Guangdong rose up to attack him.

"It had no choice but to flee to the northwest, hoping to find an opportunity to increase its strength. However, something went wrong during its training, and the Five Ghosts Technique affected its character, making it cruel and bloodthirsty. Even if you didn't provoke it, you would die if you encountered it."

"The monk killer committed numerous murders in the mining city. On the night of the Lantern Festival, he massacred more than 200 people in an entire village. The police station also suffered heavy losses when they were chasing him."

"The City Lord's Mansion has also issued a wanted order. No matter who the person is, where he comes from, or what race he is, as long as he can catch the killer and send him to the City Lord's Mansion, he will receive a reward of 3000 incense sticks."

After reading the contents of the file, Jiang Xinghuo was not too moved by the past experiences of this Taoist monk killer. What he mainly looked at in the file was the value of the Taoist monk killer and what he possessed.

Without a doubt, the most valuable thing should be the inheritance of Taoist Master Lushan.

Secondly, it is the treasures looted from killing monks and Taoists over the years.

There is also the bonus reward from the City Lord's Mansion for killing monks and Taoists. Three thousand incense points are enough to attract some people to risk their lives.

While Jiang Xinghuo was thinking about it, a new message suddenly popped up on the screen.

"The spies from the police station came back to report that they had found the traces of the Taoist killer, hiding in the Skyfire Mine outside the city. It seems that the killer is using the power of the Skyfire to refine some kind of magical weapon. He is at a critical juncture and doesn't care about other people's snooping at all."

"The inspector of the police station immediately ordered all patrol officers to set out immediately to the Tianhuo Mine outside the city to capture the monk killer."

"Are you going to set out with the main group?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and chose yes. As long as he went with the main group, the possibility of a head-on conflict with the Killing Taoist would be much smaller.

Although he didn't mind a direct encounter with the killer monk, why would he risk his life if he could take advantage of the situation in secret and fish in troubled waters? !

"You chose to follow the team and boarded the transport truck heading out of the city."

"But at the same time, you also noticed that there were several other figures who did not follow the car. Instead, they deployed their own magic tools and methods and headed for the Skyfire Mine outside the city in their own way..."
