My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 571 Return to the Underworld
"Exile, you have aroused the dormant scarlet corruption curse. You can feel the filthy power rejoicing. Your performance has also attracted the attention of the scarlet corruptor."

"The Scarlet Corruptor has shown great interest in you and has granted you the power to spread the Scarlet Corruption Curse. If you are sufficiently interested in the Scarlet Corruption Curse, you can use this curse power to continuously hunt down the monsters in the secular world and use it to show your inner attitude."

"When your hands are stained with enough blood of ghosts and gods, you can ignite the dormant scarlet fire. At that time, it may come to you in person and have a good chat."

"Perhaps I can even accept you as my personal disciple, allowing you to have power over all the living beings in this world."

"You have hunted down the evil spirits (37/10000)."

Jiang Xinghuo took a look at the numbers given in the text and thought that he was being treated as a harvester. He had to hunt down 10000 monsters in order to gain the favor of this Scarlet Corruptor.

However, despite the terrifying number of hunts, if Jiang Xinghuo really wants to complete this task, he can easily meet this condition by just spending a few days.

Not to mention it’s far away,

He only needs to go to Daliang City in the Jiangnan region, throw part of the body of Liuli Great Venerable into the water source, and wait for a while before he can harvest it. If the situation is serious, the entire Daliang City will become a dead city.

Of course, Jiang Xinghuo is not so cruel as to turn a big city into chaos and leave corpses everywhere just to complete a task.

In addition, this Scarlet Corruptor is clearly a heretic and is opposed to his own racial camp. It is impossible for him to abandon his own identity and instead join the other side's camp.

This time, he just wanted to cause some trouble for the Shifang Zen Temple, so he came up with this bad idea to deal with those Dipankara monks.

Moreover, according to some of Jiang Xinghuo's past experiences, when exploring in the secular world, not all tasks that appear need to be participated in.

Because sometimes, participating in a mission does not necessarily bring benefits.

For example, he was cheated when he was exploring Peking.

That time he met a beggar asking for help on the street in Peking, and thought he would get some task reward if he went to help.

However, he was led into the lair of the Beggars' Gang, where he was cooked to death like a beggar's chicken. Not only did he lose his life, but he also wasted a lot of offerings.

Jiang Xinghuo was thinking about it when he saw new text pop up in the game.

"The Lord of the Five Grains Reincarnation sensed that you were using the Scarlet Curse to hunt down other monsters, and he said he wanted to meet you. He has something to tell you, and he also has some other things he wants to entrust to you."

"If you are interested in this mission, you can go to the sewers of Beiping City to look for him. There is a clone of him hidden there."

"You have obtained the map of the sewers in Beiping City."

"The complexity of Beiping City's sewer system is even greater than that of the Worry-Free Cave. If you don't have a map to guide you, you'll immediately get lost and encounter all those monsters and demons wandering down there, making it impossible to explore smoothly."

"But with this map, you can avoid most of the powerful monsters and successfully find the clone of the Lord of the Five Grains' Reincarnation hidden in the sewer."

After seeing this game text, Jiang Xinghuo's eyes suddenly lit up. He didn't expect that it would trigger a task related to the Lord of the Five Grains Cycle.

More importantly, through this text we can learn that the Lord of the Five Grains Cycle has not fallen, but is still alive and well in an unknown place.

But at this moment, Jiang Xinghuo suddenly discovered that the few paragraphs of game text that had just popped up suddenly disappeared from the screen, as if they had never appeared, and even the text content was not recorded in the location file.

Jiang Xinghuo quickly opened the magic bag and found that the map of the Peking sewer was still there, but the game text related to it had disappeared.

This was not the first time this situation had occurred. After being a little surprised at first, Jiang Xinghuo quickly calmed himself down.

Since the Lord of the Five Grains Cycle has erased the text just now, it means that he must have had some reasons, otherwise there would be no need to do so. It seems that if we want to know the truth and reason of the matter, we can only wait until we go to Peking to explore.

Jiang Xinghuo closed his magic bag, found a piece of dry dog ​​food, and resurrected himself next to the shrine outside.

"You used dog food."

"You opened your eyes at the shrine."

"Where are you planning to go next?"

"Do you choose to go to the sewers of Beiping City immediately to look for the clone of the Lord of the Five Grains Reincarnation?"

"Or do you choose to leave Shifang Zen Forest first and explore other places? Or, do you go to the Baishui River Temple in Longcheng to look for the Crossing Yin Talisman that allows you to enter the underworld?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose to go to the Baishui River Temple.

The current river god of the Baishui River in Longcheng is the Compassionate Monk, who is also a disciple of the Shifang Zen Forest Compassion Temple.

He has now offended Shifang Zen Temple and Ksitigarbha. If he doesn't get a few more Yin talismans before the news gets through, he doesn't know whether he will be able to get this kind of talisman in the future.

However, before leaving Xumi Valley, Jiang Xinghuo did not forget to cause trouble for Dizang. He took out the Kuiniu drum from his magic bag and started beating it in the open space outside the valley.

"You used it, Kuiniu drum."

"The invisible drum sound slowly spread out in all directions, causing turmoil in the valley, knocking down the Buddha statues and burying many evil spirits."

Reminders about incense income keep coming.

Jiang Xinghuo then contentedly put away the Kuiniu drum, and while Ksitigarbha had not yet shown up, he activated the shrine and teleported himself to the shrine next to the Baishui River.

"You have arrived, Whitewater River."

"You opened your eyes beside the Baishui River, and saw the air was filled with the strong smell of incense. The river temple next to it was crowded with people. Although it was already night, there were still many Longcheng citizens coming to burn incense and offer sacrifices."

"Where are you going next?"

"Do you plan to enter the River God Temple to seek the Yin Talisman, or go to the city center for a stroll?"

Jiang Xinghuo didn't want to waste any more time, as delays could lead to unexpected events, so he immediately controlled the character to enter the River God Temple.

"You entered the River God Temple and found the captain of the corpse-recovering team. He was tattooing the River God on the new corpse-recoverer. This would protect the corpse-recoverer from being affected by evil things while working."

"You waited for a while, and after the other person finished, you went over and patted him on the shoulder."

"The captain of the corpse recovery team looked back and saw that it was you. He immediately showed joy on his face."

"You explained your purpose, and after the captain of the corpse recovery team learned about it, he readily gave you the things."

"You have obtained the Yin Fu +1."

"You put away this Passing Yin Talisman, and then asked indirectly if I could give you a few more?"

"The captain of the corpse recovery team asked you to wait for a moment, then turned around and left to go to the back. When he came out again, he had an extra copper coin in his hand, and he handed it to you."

"You have obtained the talisman template."

"Talisman template (excellent item), a copper-cast talisman template engraved with the Gu Yin Talisman. You only need to copy it with cinnabar yellow paper to form a Gu Yin Talisman. There is no limit to its adaptability." "Note that the Gu Yin Talisman copied out is only valid for three days, and it will automatically burn into ashes after three days."

Jiang Xinghuo was delighted and took the thing into reality.

He had originally been thinking of getting a few more copies of the Yin Fu, but he didn't expect the captain of the corpse recovery team to actually give him the template.

From then on you can make Yin Fu at any time, as long as you have enough materials.

Moreover, looking at the template of the Gua Yin Fu in his hand, Jiang Xinghuo also had a suicidal thought in his heart.

Using the Yin Fu in the game can allow you to enter the underworld, so where will you go if you use the Yin Fu in real life?
Is it also the underworld?

Or some other weird place?
Or is it,

The talisman has no effect at all? ?
Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a while, and finally suppressed the idea of ​​committing suicide. It didn't matter if he died in the game, he could be resurrected again anyway.

But if he died in reality, he would be really dead. Although he had a life-replacing insect in his body and a phoenix wing, no one would complain about having too much life.

Jiang Xinghuo put away the Guoyin Talisman in his hand. In reality, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.

"What choice are you going to make next?"

"Will you choose to just wander around Dragon City? Or will you leave Dragon City and go to other cities? Or will you use the Yin Fu in your hand to explore the underworld?"

Jiang Xinghuo directly chose to enter the underworld.

This was something he had prepared long ago. He would first complete the task as the Lord of the Underworld and collect the reward before dealing with other matters.

Jiang Xinghuo controlled the character to come to the Baishui River, threw the land dragon boat into the Baishui River, found the Yin Fu and chose to use it.

quickly,

The game text gives the corresponding text prompts.

"Are you going to the underworld right now?"

"You put the wooden boat in the river. The small wooden boat swelled in the wind and soon became a small black boat."

"Next, stick the Gua Yin Talisman in your hand on the bow of the boat and drift down the clear and gentle river."

"Soon after, thick fog rose from the river surface, gradually engulfing the small boat you were riding on."

"You can only hear the sound of running water, but you can't see the scene in front of you clearly."

"After a while, you will feel the boat below you dock at the shore. When you look up, the fog in front of you gradually dissipates, and you have arrived at the Yellow Spring Ferry."

"You have successfully arrived at the underworld."

"You have come to the kingdom of death again. You see countless confused souls boarding the ferry to the underworld at the Yellow Springs Ferry."

"You walked to the shore of Huangquan and put away the land dragon boat. Not far away, a ferryman is looking at you. Do you want to go over and say hello?"

"You went over and said hello to him. Although you were from the exile race, the ferryman did not have any hatred towards you. Instead, he chatted with you with great interest."

"After a conversation, you became familiar with the ferryman. Did you ask him if he knew where the Lord of Huangquan lived?"

"The ferryman said that Huangquan is one of the forbidden places in the underworld, and the Lord of Huangquan is an extremely ancient god in the underworld. Even the Lord of the underworld must treat him with courtesy. It is not something a small ferryman like him can interfere with."

"But you can go to those big cities in the underworld and ask those dead mobs or the storytellers in the teahouses."

"Because of their special identities and the fact that they are protected by someone, they may know where the Huangquan Lord's temple is."

When Jiang Xinghuo saw this, he seemed to have thought of something. He opened the magic bag and rummaged through it for a while before finding a map-like prop.

"You took out the Yellow Springs Map."

"Yellow Spring Map (Excellent Item), the nine rivers of the netherworld, the Yellow Spring never ceases. Without a map to guide you, even the living beings in the underworld will get lost in the Yellow Spring. The founder of Baojing Temple once entered the Yellow Spring by mistake, and by chance he got this map, and hid it in the portrait of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, leaving it for the destined person."

"Do you want to use this map?"

"You have used the Yellow Springs map."

"The road to the underworld is short, but the road to the netherworld is long. The two worlds of yin and yang are closely connected, but they are not exactly the same. Two places may be thousands of miles apart in the world of the living, but they may be very close in the underworld, and vice versa..."

"Please choose where you want to go."

This map is an item that Jiang Xinghuo found in the Baojing Temple outside Longcheng when he first entered the game. It can guide players to find the various cities in the underworld.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the screen of his mobile phone, which listed many map options, all of which were maps he had opened up in the world of the living.

Including: Dragon City, Mining City, Xishen City, Guandong City, Daliang City, Beiping City, Maoshan Sect, Longmen, Wuyou Cave...

However, although the names of other sub-maps outside these maps are displayed, they all appear gray and cannot be selected.

This is because the map of the underworld corresponds to the world of the living. Only the places that he has opened up and explored in the world of the living will appear in the map options of the underworld.

And it is impossible to develop a map of the underworld for those places that have not been explored in the world of the living.

For example, Meishan, Fujian, Guangdong, Nanyang, and some even more remote places.

Looking at the maps provided by the game, Jiang Xinghuo took a careful look and decided to go to the Dragon City in the underworld first.

The last time he explored the underworld, the place he chose was Longcheng, and he became a disciple of a martial arts hall owner.

However, because my own strength was too low at that time, I only explored the map in a cursory manner, and many places were not explored in detail.

I'd take this opportunity to take a stroll around the Dragon City in the underworld.

"You chose to go to Dragon City in the underworld."

"On the way, please wait..."

Jiang Xinghuo waited for about five minutes, and a new message prompt came from the game.

"You have arrived at the Dragon City in the underworld..."
