My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 56 The Eight Sea Dragon Kings
"You have obtained the map of Master Coffin's mansion."

"After the water armor soldier handed you the map, he left the alley of Luoguxiang. Before leaving, he left a message, saying that if you have time, you can find a chance to sneak into the mansion of Master Guan, and then you will find out the truth."

"You watched the water armor soldiers leave, then opened the map in your hand. The map showed that there were three entrances to Master Guan's mansion. In addition to the main entrance, there were two secret doors."

"One of the secret doors is in Lady Hong's wedding dress workshop. The entrance is the cellar of the seventh large red dye vat against the wall of the dye workshop. The exit at the other end is the secret passage in Master Guan's mansion."

"There is another secret door in the undertaker's house. The entrance is under the fifth coffin on the right side of the coffin room. Open the coffin lid and knock on it a few times in a certain order to open the entrance to the passage."

"But you found that coincidentally, the exits of the two passages are both in the secret passage in Master Coffin's mansion. You believe there must be many secrets hidden there, otherwise Master Coffin would not chase after the water armor soldiers."

Looking at the text message popping up on the phone screen, Jiang Xinghuo seemed thoughtful. He did not receive any material reward for rescuing the water armor soldiers this time except for this map.

However, the value of this map is unquestionable, because in this game, the most valuable things are the various maps.

As long as you get the map, you can explore those places and naturally you will get a lot of material gains.

"What do you decide to do next?"

"Are you going to check out the Dirty Meat Fairy's home first, or go somewhere else, or go directly to Master Coffin's mansion?"

Jiang Xinghuo didn't think much and chose to go directly to the home of the Zangrouxian. Now that he was here, there was no reason to retreat.

"You have come to the residence of the Dirty Meat Fairy."

"A large brass lock fastened the two doors. You took the key from your bosom and opened the brass lock."

"However, just as you were about to push the door open, you felt a pain on the back of your hand. You didn't know what stung you, and a sore and numb feeling immediately spread throughout your body."

"This unknown toxin is very strong. Your immunity to all poisons cannot eliminate it. You can only barely keep your life a little longer, but you will still die in the end."

"You are dead."

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

Jiang Xinghuo was greatly surprised when he saw the blood-red font on the screen. This had never happened since he gained immunity to all poisons.

At the same time, he was also quite curious about what kind of poisonous insect it was that even the immunity to all poisons was ineffective.

However, due to the limitations of the text's perspective, he was unable to see the true face of that thing.

"Scapegoat (2/4)."

"You activated the ability of the scapegoat and came back to life. Looking at the scarecrow that was corroded and rotted by the toxin, you couldn't help but feel a little scared."

"You know that if you push the door again, you will most likely make the same mistake again. Fortunately, you remembered that there is a bottle of realgar wine in your trick bag, which can come in handy."

"You took out the realgar wine."

Jiang Xinghuo thought he was lucky, as he got this realgar wine from the Yao family pharmacy in Longcheng. He had wanted to sell it in the shop, but later he withdrew it, thinking that it might come in handy in the future. He didn't expect to actually use it today.

"You sprinkled the realgar wine on the door, and then you heard a crackling sound, like oil boiling over a raging fire, and a two-foot-long centipede slowly crawled out of the hole in the door."

"How are you going to deal with this poisonous centipede?"

A bunch of options are listed below, including the Small Five Thunder Technique, the Dead Tree Reviving in Spring Technique, the Muddy Water Stick, the Evil Star Bite, the Gu Breeding Jar...

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it carefully and chose the Gu breeding jar first. If he could tame this centipede, it would improve his combat power.

But this centipede is more than two feet long. Can it fit in the Gu breeding jar?
Although he didn't see what the Gu-raising jar looked like, he knew it wouldn't be too big since it was called a jar instead of a vat.

"You chose to use the Gu-raising Jar to tame this centipede."

"The two-foot-long centipede quickly became half a foot long and curled up in the Gu-raising jar. But just as you were about to put the jar away, you heard a "click" and a crack appeared on the jar!"

"And the crack got bigger and bigger, and soon covered the entire can until it completely shattered."

"Your Gu jar is damaged."

"The six-winged centipede broke free from the Gu-breeding jar and attacked you. You used..."

It was still the same options. Jiang Xinghuo chose the Small Five Thunder Technique this time, too lazy to bother with it any further.

"You used the Small Five Thunder Technique."

"The six-winged centipede is a different species among poisonous insects. It took a lot of effort to grow to more than two feet long. But no matter what, thunder magic is a very masculine and strong force, and it is naturally able to restrain these sinister and evil creatures." "You killed the six-winged centipede."

"You have obtained part of the six-winged centipede's shed carapace. You can go find an expert craftsman and use it as raw material to make a set of armor."

"Without the interference of the six-winged centipede, you pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard. Because the Dirty Meat Fairy was too lazy to take care of it, the courtyard was full of wormwood, just like a place that had been abandoned for a long time and no one had lived in it."

"Where do you choose to explore first?"

This time, the game text gives three options: kitchen, living room, and study.

Jiang Xinghuo was a little curious. He didn't expect that there would be a study building in the house of the Dirty Meat Fairy. It was totally inconsistent with its character.

"You choose to go into the study and take a look."

"There is only a bookcase and a set of tables and chairs in the not-so-big room. Apart from that, there is nothing else."

"You walked to the bookshelf, reached out and took down a book, and found that the books on the bookshelf were all various recipes and food chapters."

"Tathagatagarbha, triggered."

"You found a hidden item in the crack of the bookcase."

"You have obtained the Eight Sea Dragon Kings Diagram."

"Eight Seas Dragon King Picture (rare item), in the folklore stories circulating in the Tianshui area of ​​the northwest, it is said that this Dragon King controls the waters of the eight seas and nine rivers. You can integrate it into the Water God Palace to expand the water area."

"The Dirty Meat Immortal was originally an apprentice under the Imperial Kitchen's chief chef, the Human Chef. This painting of the Eight Sea Dragon Kings was a treasure given to the Human Chef by the palace, but it unexpectedly attracted the covetousness of the Dirty Meat Immortal."

"The Dirty Meat Immortal had carefully served the human cook for many years and learned where the Eight Seas Dragon King Map was hidden. So he took advantage of the human cook being drunk and stole the treasure map and ran away."

"In order to avoid being hunted down by the human cook, the Dirty Meat Fairy did not dare to go to those large cities, so he had to settle down in this inconspicuous coffin town."

Jiang Xinghuo was somewhat surprised. He did not expect that this trip would bring him unexpected gains.

Seeing the exaggerated text, Jiang Xinghuo clicked on it curiously, and the text about the "Eight Sea Dragon Kings" popped up immediately.

"The Eight Sea Dragon Kings are great gods from ancient times. It is said that they also mastered the mysterious laws of tides. In the past, the Yellow River Lord pacified the floods all over the world, but he failed in Tianshui. The two fought for seven days and seven nights, but neither could defeat the other."

"Under no choice, Master Huanghe had to sign a contract with him. As long as he was still alive, the Eight Sea Dragon Kings would not make trouble. Otherwise, he would continue to fight with the Eight Sea Dragon Kings here."

"The Eight Sea Dragon Kings were also worried about angering the Yellow River Lord, so they agreed to his terms. Since then, the flooding in the Tianshui area has gradually subsided."

"And the scene of the Eight Sea Dragon Kings causing storms in the past was recorded by Mr. Yellow River. With this picture of the Eight Sea Dragon Kings, you can open up a piece of water that belongs to you alone."

Jiang Xinghuo got up from the bed, unfolded the Water God Palace in his body, then clicked on the text, took out the Eight Sea Dragon Kings Picture, and threw it directly into the Water God Palace.

The picture of the Eight Sea Dragon Kings instantly transformed into a dragon-shaped shadow, turning the world upside down in Suicune Palace.

Soon, the dragon-shaped phantom arrived at the edge of Shuijun Palace. As its body danced, Jiang Xinghuo discovered that the scope of Shuijun Palace was constantly expanding.

The original Suicune Palace was only about 100 square meters, but the current Suicune Palace has doubled in size, almost encompassing the entire shop, and the sound of waves hitting the shore is endless.

Fortunately, the Suicune Palace is only an illusory existence now and does not actually appear in the real world, otherwise the second floor would be completely ruined.

After half an hour, Shuijun Palace finally quieted down. Jiang Xinghuo looked carefully and found that the dragon-shaped shadow had disappeared, as if it had completely merged with Shuijun Palace.

The originally clear and transparent river water was now covered with a layer of light blue light and was no longer an ordinary stream of water.

A gleam of light flashed in Jiang Xinghuo's pupils, and the relevant information immediately appeared in his eyes.

"Suijun Palace (rare spell), integrated with the power of the Eight Sea Dragon Kings, your Suijun Palace has been successfully upgraded to a rare spell, and it has also derived more functions, such as condensing heavy water."

Jiang Xinghuo waved his right hand lightly, and the Shuijun Palace immediately rolled over. Countless streams surged up and finally gathered into a drop of heavy water.

Looking at the river water stored in Shuijun Palace, it has been reduced by one tenth. In other words, the river water stored in the entire Shuijun Palace can condense about ten drops of heavy water.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at a drop of dark blue heavy water floating on his palm. He flicked his fingertips lightly, and the heavy water instantly smashed into the Water God Palace.

In an instant, it was as if a meteorite fell from the sky into the water, directly causing a terrifying wave.

Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but be secretly shocked. He didn't expect that a drop of heavy water could have such great power. If it hit a person, the person would probably be shattered to pieces.

Looking at the Water God Palace in front of him, an idea arose in Jiang Xinghuo's heart. What kind of scene would it be if one day the entire Water God Palace was filled with heavy water?
