My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 556 Everything is ready
Looking at the two options given by the game, Jiang Xinghuo thought for a moment and finally chose the first answer. He prepared to wait for those people to arrive and enter the dungeon behind the secret passage with them.

This saves the trouble of cracking the mechanism structure.

Otherwise, if I go and kill those people, not only will I have to crack the mechanism myself in the end, it will also easily attract other people's attention. The two options are too unprofitable.

"You hid quietly in the shadows nearby, your figure almost blending into the darkness. Unless someone stood in front of you and observed you at a very close distance, it would be difficult to detect your traces and figure."

"Not long after, several members of the Liaoyuan Clan came over with food and opened the entrance to the dungeon outside the rockery. You took the opportunity to rush out of the darkness and used the Dragon Capture Technique at lightning speed to kill all of them."

"You have successfully killed the Liaoyuan group +5."

"You have obtained, Incense +1000."

"The entrance to the dungeon is open. Behind it is a deep tunnel. Do you want to enter now?"

Isn't this nonsense? Of course I have to go in, otherwise what are I here for?

"Summon the small bone-transforming dragon in the acupoint, deal with the corpse on the ground, then pick up a torch and enter the secret passage of the City Lord's Mansion."

"The secret passage is completely dark, with only the faint light of torches. It is surrounded by dangerous traps. If someone doesn't know the correct way, it would be difficult to pass through this secret passage safely."

"Fortunately, you have the talents of 'seeing through walls' and 'seeing through fire'. After careful exploration, you finally reached the end of the secret passage safely, and successfully opened the mechanism outside and entered the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion."

"When you opened the door to the prison, a rotten smell hit you in the face. The dead atmosphere instantly enveloped your body. However, unlike the miserable prison cell you imagined, there were no torture instruments in the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion. There was only endless desolation and darkness. There was a person imprisoned in each cell. They were drowned and swallowed by the darkness in the dungeon. They looked like puppets who had lost their minds. They did not show any emotion at all when you came."

"Open your small pupil of Tathagata, walk past these closed cells, and try to find the disciple of Chu Ma Xian."

"But even after walking all the way to the end of the dungeon, you still haven't found the whereabouts of the disciple who went out to fight. I don't know whether he was killed by the City Lord's Mansion or imprisoned somewhere else."

Ok?
Looking at the content of the game text, Jiang Xinghuo's eyebrows suddenly raised, wondering what was going on? Could it be that the private detective's information was wrong, and the disciples of Chu Ma Xian were not imprisoned here?
Or was it that the spirit-exorcist disciple was really secretly killed by the City Lord's Mansion?
When Jiang Xinghuo was wondering, he saw a new text message pop up in the game.

"You were about to search again, but you still heard a voice coming from the depths of the darkness. Do you want to go over and take a closer look?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes. Things had come to this point, and change was always better than no change.

"You walked to the remote cell where the sound came from, and saw that the person imprisoned in this cell was actually a blind Feng Shui master."

"Mr. Feng Shui's limbs were cut off from the knees and elbows, and his collarbone was chained to the wall with a barbed iron chain. He looked tortured, but his spirit was full of energy, forming a sharp contrast with the lifeless look of the other prisoners."

"Mr. Feng Shui called you over and said that although he didn't know your identity, he was sure that you were not one of those natural disaster believers who assisted the evil. You came here probably because you wanted to find someone. Maybe he knew where the person you were looking for was. What are you going to do next?"

"Will you pretend that you don't understand what it's saying, leave here and look for it somewhere else, or will you tell it why you're here?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it carefully and felt that he could still talk to the other party about this. He had searched the dungeon but found nothing. Maybe he could get some clues from the other party.

"You told the Feng Shui master the truth about your purpose, but you didn't say what you wanted to do. You just said that you were asked to pick up the little spirit. If the Feng Shui master knew the whereabouts of the other party, he could also rescue it from the cell."

"After hearing what you said, Mr. Feng Shui chuckled a few times, with a meaningful expression on his face. He said that this dungeon actually has two floors, and you are only on the first floor now."

"The entrance to the second dungeon is right below this dungeon. However, there is a restriction left by the City Lord's Mansion at the entrance to the second dungeon. If an outsider enters without permission, the person who left the restriction will be immediately alarmed."

"However, it can help you enter the second dungeon smoothly, but the prerequisite is that you have to do it a favor first. Do you want to accept its request?"

When Jiang Xinghuo saw the description in the text, he thought that if he didn't accept it, there was probably no other good way.

Moreover, this Feng Shui master is obviously the key to the development of the subsequent plot, so no matter from which perspective, he seems to have no reason to refuse the other party.

So Jiang Xinghuo directly clicked on the yes option and accepted the help from this Feng Shui master.

"Mr. Feng Shui hopes that you can go find the Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian, explain your situation to him, and bring back the thing that the Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian gave you. It will help you reach the second dungeon smoothly."

Jiang Xinghuo didn't expect the other party's request to be so easy.

If he were asked to look for someone else, it might delay some time, but if he were to look for the Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian, it would be no trouble at all.

Jiang Xinghuo immediately took out and activated the Shen Ji Order, teleporting himself to the blacksmith shop of Taoist Shen Ji Bai Lian.

"You have arrived at the blacksmith shop of Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian."

"You found the busy Taoist Master Bai Lian and told him about the Feng Shui master. After hearing that, he asked you to wait for a while and come back in half an hour to get your things."

Jiang Xinghuo wandered outside for half an hour, then controlled the character back to the blacksmith shop, and the Taoist Shen Ji Bai Lian handed the things to him.

"You have obtained the Divine Mecha."

"Divine Mecha (rare item), a special item forged by Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian for his friends. It can restore the mobility of people with physical disabilities and is even better than the flesh and blood bodies of the past. However, people with intact bodies can also wear it."

"What are you going to do next?"

"Will you choose to run away with the divine mecha and take it for yourself, or will you return to the dungeon and hand the divine mecha over to Mr. Feng Shui?"

Tsk, the wicked game text is trying to trap him in various ways and deceive him into doing these inhuman things.

If he took this magical mecha and ran away, not only would the mission from Mr. Feng Shui be in vain, he would also probably not be able to pass the test of Taoist Master Bailian of the Divine Machine, and it would be impossible to ask him to do things for him in the future.

Therefore, Jiang Xinghuo chose to activate the Divine Machine Order and returned to the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion, intending to hand over this divine mecha to Mr. Feng Shui.

"You returned to the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion, found the Feng Shui master, and handed the divine mecha to him."

"When Mr. Feng Shui saw that you had retrieved the magic mecha, he showed a hint of excitement on his face. With this magic mecha, he can regain his mobility and his blind eyes can be restored again." "When Mr. Feng Shui is wearing the magic mecha, ask him why he was imprisoned here."

"The Feng Shui master said that it was originally invited by the City Lord's Mansion to look at Feng Shui. Because there are a large number of mineral veins and volcanoes hidden underground in the mining city, there is a risk of eruption at any time. Therefore, every ten years or so, a Feng Shui master is invited to suppress the surrounding volcanic mineral veins to prevent the volcanic eruption from harming innocent citizens."

"However, the last time it came here, it violated some taboo and was locked up in this dark dungeon by the city lord's order. Its limbs were cut off and its eyes were dug out. It was also locked up in a separate cell and no one was allowed to communicate with it."

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo had a general idea in his mind. Since Taoist Huoyun wanted to cause the disaster of heavenly fire burning the city again, he would have to rely on the right time and place to do it.

The eruption of volcanic veins is the key point, and it will not allow the Feng Shui master to suppress it.

Taoist Huoyun was eager for the volcanic vein to erupt soon, so that he could combine the power of heavenly fire with volcanic lava, thereby causing heavenly fire to burn the city in the shortest time possible.

"After some thought, you told the Feng Shui master the information you had gathered."

"Mr. Feng Shui was also shocked when he heard this, because if the volcanic vein erupts, not only will the mining city be submerged by magma, but even the entire northwest will be reduced to a scorched earth in purgatory."

"And according to the exploration that year, the eruption of the Fire Mine Mountain should be on the night of three days later."

"In addition, since the volcanic veins have lost their suppression and are gradually recovering, even if we use the old method to suppress them now, it will not have any effect or result."

"The only way to resolve this crisis is to destroy the source of the volcanic mineral veins. In this way, the volcano will no longer pose any threat within a hundred years."

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo suddenly remembered the drought demon in the acupoint.

Hanba was originally born in the volcanic hell of the underworld, so it should be difficult for magma to cause harm to it. So, is it possible to let Hanba devour the origin of the volcano?

This would not only eliminate the danger of the volcano erupting, but also enhance Hanba's cultivation and strength.

The more Jiang Xinghuo thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible. He planned to rescue the little spirit and then go to the Tianhuo Mine to give it a try. After all, he wouldn't lose anything.

"At this time, Mr. Feng Shui has already put on the divine mecha and restored his normal vision and ability to move."

"According to the agreement made in advance, you came to the entrance of the second floor of the dungeon. Under the guidance of Mr. Feng Shui, you passed the entrance mechanism smoothly and entered the second floor of the dungeon easily."

"This time, you quickly found what you were looking for."

"You have discovered it, little shaman."

"The young shaman is the offspring of the old shaman of Guandong City. He was framed by the lord of the mining city and imprisoned in this dungeon."

"You woke up the sleeping young shaman and told him the truth about your purpose. After the young shaman learned the reason, he gave you a letter written in his own blood and told you the old shaman's address."

"You can go to Guandong City and give this blood letter to the old shaman, and then the old shaman will come and rescue it from here."

"At the same time, you also handed the key to the dungeon to the little shaman, and agreed that as soon as there was a fight outside, he would release all the prisoners and attack the city lord's mansion together with the help of the insiders and the outsiders."

"You have obtained the Shaman Statue."

"When the time comes, you just need to crush the shaman statue. The little shaman in the dungeon will sense it and know when to take action."

"What are you going to do next?"

"Will you leave the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion immediately and go to Guandong City to seek help from the old shaman? Or will you continue to wander around in the dungeon to see if there are any other discoveries?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose to leave the dungeon and go to Guandong City to find the old shaman.

"You left the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion and teleported yourself to Guandong City through the Fengdu Shrine at the city gate."

"You have arrived, Kanto Castle."

"You followed the address the little shaman told you and found the shaman's retreat in Guandong City. It's a house located in an inconspicuous alley in Guandong City. Although it looks plain on the outside, it contains mysteries."

"You can see that there is a heavy brass lock on the outer gate of the shaman's retreat. Obviously, there is no way to go in directly, so I went forward and knocked on the door. After a while, there was a voice responding from the door."

"A willow snake fairy in a robe came out and asked if you had anything to do with your visit so late at night?"

"You handed over the young shaman's letter and briefly explained the cause of the incident. The Willow Snake Fairy immediately took the letter back to the yard and came out again not long after, saying that the old shaman already knew the whole story and that he would hold a ceremony to recruit troops and generals. At 3:45 tomorrow night, he would take the fairies in the altar and go to the mining city to seek justice."

"And to express his gratitude to you, the old shaman even gave you a magical tool."

"You have obtained the Stone Immortal King Wen's Drum."

"Stone Immortal Wen Wang Drum (rare item), the Wen Wang Drum forged from the shell of a stone immortal can not only force the surrounding monsters to obey orders, but also confuse the minds of the monsters. Duration: 5 minutes."

"Be careful, the demons and monsters that are controlled and bewitched by King Wen's drum should not have a higher level of cultivation than the user, otherwise it will easily cause the magic weapon to backfire on the owner."

Three quarters past midnight tomorrow night.

Now everything is ready.

Next, when the time comes, Taoist Huoyun will face the wrath of the old shaman.

However, in order to prevent Taoist Huo Yun from doing anything desperate, he had to solve the problem of the volcanic vein first.
