My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 574: Demon Subduing Heavenly Official
"You walked up to the stone statue of Sanbu Daoren. He sensed the aura of the Exile in you and unexpectedly became murderous. He swung the iron whip in his hand and smashed it towards your head!"

Um? ?

Jiang Xinghuo was speechless. It turned out that you were just joking about not killing, and you actually wanted to kill him based on the situation.

"You summoned the Dragon Swallowing Immortal in the acupoint and fought with the stone statue of Sanbu Daoren. The brutal and ferocious Dragon Swallowing Immortal frantically bit the luck of Sanbu Daoren. The stone statue was soon covered with tiny cracks and finally collapsed into a pile of ruins. It could no longer pose any threat to you."

"You have destroyed the stone statue of Sanbu Daoren's clone."

"The stone statue clones of Sanbu Daoren are scattered throughout the underworld, interconnected with each other, forming an invisible matrix. Each stone statue can share all memories and will feed back to the original body living in seclusion in the mysterious place."

"However, these clones of Sanbu Daoist only have about 30% of the cultivation of the original Sanbu Daoist. If you underestimate this Sanbu Daoist, the ending will definitely not be a good one."

"Moreover, since you destroyed the stone statue on the Yinshan trail, the other stone statues of the Three No Taoists will attack you without hesitation after seeing you, and there is a high chance that they will receive the Three No Taoists' original cultivation as a gift."

"But you don't have to worry too much about this matter. Sanbu Daoren has disappeared in the underworld for many years. Only his clones roam the secular world. Few people know where his real body is. It is unlikely that he will take the initiative to cause trouble for you."

"Of course, there are exceptions to everything."

"If the true form of Sanbu Dao Ren finds you, then you can only consider yourself unlucky, unless your cultivation level can compete with him. However, given the current situation, this is obviously a very unrealistic thing."

"You found something in the ruins of the Sanbu Taoist statue. Do you want to pick it up?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes.

He really didn't take the potential threat from this unscrupulous person seriously.

Even if the other party's true self really finds me, it's just a word, and I'll just have to deal with it.

The worst that could happen is that you'll be killed by the other party.

A few hours later, he was a brave man again.

If you have the ability, come to the real world and kill me!!
While Jiang Xinghuo was thinking about all these things in his mind, he controlled the character to walk to the ruins of the stone statue and picked up the things mentioned in the game text.

"You have obtained a rusty iron whip (rare), a broken Lingguan sword (excellent), and a golden Lingguan mask (rare)."

"The rusty iron whip (rare item), the personal weapon of the demon-suppressing spiritual officer among the five hundred spiritual officers of the secular Taoist sect, is forged with thunder and volcanic volcano stone, and polished with the energy of dragon and tiger. It has a strong killing power against demons and evil spirits."

"The Demon Subduing Spirit Officer is one of the five hundred spiritual officers in the secular world who controls the power of killing. He hates evil and has a fiery temper. He always kills demons and evil spirits instead of letting them go. Later, he mistakenly entered the underworld and entered the Yinshan Ancient Tower. He disappeared without a trace. The only thing left was his weapons and magic treasures, which were lost outside the ancient tower and found by the stone statue of the clone of the Taoist Sanbu."

"This Demon-Subduing Iron Whip can greatly increase the power of lightning and fire spells, but because it has been soaked in Yin energy for many years, its spirituality has become dormant. It only needs to be cleansed with True Fire Heavenly Thunder to reawaken its power."

Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the glowing font and took the demon-slaying iron whip into reality.

The whip was covered with mottled rust, black as rotten iron and copper. Jiang Xinghuo activated the Thunder Ancestor's Treasure Scroll in his body, and purple-gold lightning poured into the whip like a tide. Then, the iron whip flashed with lightning, and the rust on it fell off one after another, and was turned into ashes by the lightning.

Jiang Xinghuo could clearly feel that the iron whip was gradually reviving, like a long-dry desert, madly and greedily absorbing the power of thunder magic in his body.

Jiang Xinghuo was not stingy at all. He took out the Medicine Fairy Gourd and put it aside for use. His magic power was almost exhausted, so he picked up the Medicine Fairy Gourd and took a big gulp.

This continued for more than ten minutes. The magic power in Jiang Xinghuo's body was like a flood that had been opened. It continuously poured into the iron whip. The rust on the iron whip had completely fallen off, and countless cloud seals emerged from the whip, emitting a terrifying aura.

At the same time, a new information prompt sound was heard in the game.

"It's finally over..."

Jiang Xinghuo put down the iron whip in his hand with a pale face, looked at the countless phantoms of talismans surrounding it, and breathed a sigh of relief.

In less than half an hour, he had already used up the Medicine Fairy Gourd, his own magic power was on the verge of exhaustion, and his body felt weaker than ever before.

But at last, the demon-slaying iron whip that had been dormant for many years was awakened, which will be of great help in the subsequent exploration of the Yinshan Ancient Tower.

The Dragon King's Taoist soldiers and the evil star's bite are quite powerful in the world of the living, but in the underworld they cannot compare with this demon-subduing iron whip. This is because the purely domineering thunder method is the nemesis of yin energy, and naturally it is invincible in the underworld.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo found a bottle of mana-restoring pills in his magic bag, clicked on it and chose to use it. After making sure that his game character had recovered, he continued to advance the plot and checked the newly popped-up game text.

"The Demon-Subduing Iron Whip (a rare item), the magical weapon carried by the Demon-Subduing Spirit Officer, has been revived after being refined by thunder and fire, and can greatly enhance the power of thunder and fire spells."

"Do you want to equip this demon-slaying iron whip?"

"You are equipped with the Demon-Subduing Iron Whip."

Jiang Xinghuo equipped the iron whip on the game character, and then looked at the remaining two things.

"Broken Spiritual Official Sword (Excellent Item), the protective weapon of Tai Sui Spiritual Official, one of the five hundred spiritual officials in the secular world. It has the ability to cut off all emotions and desires, and can last for 24 hours each time. However, this sword has been greatly damaged and its ability has been weakened. It can only last for about three hours."

"Taisui Lingguan is one of the five hundred spiritual officials in the secular world who controls desires. Although he is not good at killing, the sword in his hand can cut off all desires in the world and can easily kill the opponent's murderous intent. He is completely different from the Fumo Lingguan who only kills but does not save. His main strategy is to defeat the enemy without fighting."

"This sword is the treasure that Tai Sui Ming Guan gave to the Demon Subduing Spirit Officer. I hope that he will think twice before he acts when facing those monsters. There is no need to kill them all."

After reading the description in the text, Jiang Xinghuo became interested in this sword. If it could kill the desires and thoughts in the opponent's heart, wouldn't it also be able to kill the murderous intent and hostility? ?

It can be said that having this sword is equivalent to being invincible.

Just imagine, when facing an enemy, if you cannot raise your murderous intent and hostility, how can you continue the fight? ?
"This is a good thing to save your life..."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the game text and put the sword into the magic bag. However, judging from the quality of the sword, it should not be omnipotent.

I guess it's only effective against some monsters. If you face an opponent who is too strong, or a being at the level of a Taoist master, this thing will probably be useless.

Finally, only a golden mask was left.

"Golden Spirit Officer Face Guard (Rare Item), the face guard forged with gold by the Demon Subduing Spirit Officer. After equipping it, you can obtain the state of being possessed by the Spirit Officer. Your own attributes will be comprehensively improved by more than 70% within the next hour, but the upper limit of your cultivation cannot exceed that of the Demon Subduing Spirit Officer. Cooldown time: 24 hours." "Be careful, the Demon Subduing Spirit Officer is as fierce as fire and has a strong murderous intent. If you use this item for a long time, your own personality will be subtly affected, but occasional use will not have any effect."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the text description of the mask and suddenly had an idea in his mind. If he equips the mask and uses the Lingguan sword to hit himself, will he not be affected?

Anyway, all the murderous thoughts were eliminated.

But on second thought, even though the murderous intent has been eliminated, you will not be able to launch an effective attack on the enemy, and in the end you will still feel restricted.

These three things were obtained from the Demon-Subduing Spirit Officer, which means that the Demon-Subduing Spirit Officer also entered the Yinshan Ancient Tower. Now no one knows whether he is alive or dead, and there is a high probability that he died in the ancient tower.

"You have passed three levels on this path. What are you going to do next?"

"Will you choose to stop while you are ahead and return with the things you have found? Or will you choose to enter the Yinshan Ancient Tower and conduct a deeper exploration inside?"

Jiang Xinghuo certainly would not choose to retreat, and directly chose to enter the ancient building to explore.

"You chose to enter the Yinshan Ancient Tower."

"You walked up a few steps and arrived in front of the Yinshan Ancient Building. A towering and ancient black building appeared in front of you. From bottom to top, there are nine floors in total. Each floor is airtight. There are also layers of chains and talismans sealing the outside. Only the door is half-open, like a beast waiting for its prey outside to fall into its trap."

"Do you want to go inside?"

"If you regret it now, you can still get away in time. Once you actually enter the ancient building, it will be too late to leave. By that time, it is unknown whether you can come out alive."

Jiang Xinghuo still chose to enter the ancient building without hesitation.

The worst that can happen is just a life.

At most it's a waste of time.

He can still afford it.

"You pushed open the door of the Yinshan Ancient Building and walked into the dim interior of the building. You wanted to light a torch, but the torch was blown out in an instant. You could clearly feel an invisible thing hovering around your body. Every time you tried to light a torch, it would extinguish it."

Jiang Xinghuo raised his brows slightly, and took out the oil-sealed lamp from the magic bag, but the oil-sealed lamp could not be used.

"The oil-sealed ghost curled up inside the wick, as if it sensed some terrible aura. No matter how you urged it, it could not light up the oil-sealed lamp."

In desperation, Jiang Xinghuo had to put away the oil-sealed lamp. Fortunately, his physical fitness had been improved many times, and his eyesight had also improved, which was reflected in the character.

"You looked around the dimly lit building, and saw that the walls were covered with all kinds of strange murals. They seemed to be some hideous monsters, but if you looked closely, they seemed to be majestic gods and Buddhas."

"At this time, you noticed that the walls at the end of the murals on both sides were a little different. You walked over and found that they were two stone doors, each leading to an unknown place. Which side do you plan to explore first?"

"Canglang!"

"You have triggered the early warning talent of the Turtle Spirit Seven Treasures Sword."

"The Turtle Spirit Seven Treasures Sword that you carried on your waist suddenly came out of its sheath and flew in the air, with the blade finally pointing to the left side behind you."

"You subconsciously swung the Demon-Subduing Iron Whip in your hand, and a blinding flash of lightning illuminated the dim building. You only heard a sharp and piercing scream, and then vaguely saw a vague humanoid monster disappear. The Turtle Spirit Seven Treasures Sword also automatically flew back to the scabbard, announcing that the crisis was temporarily resolved."

Jiang Xinghuo narrowed his eyes slightly. If it weren't for the Turtle Spirit Seven Treasures Sword, he would probably have fallen into the trap of that thing.

It seems that this ancient building in Yinshan is full of dangers, and one will die here if one is not careful.

"Please select the stone gate you want to explore."

The game gives two options, left or right, but there is no option to leave the Yinshan Ancient Tower.

perhaps,

Just as the game text describes before entering.

Once you enter the Yinshan Ancient Tower, you can't help but leave.

However, the game text does not give a specific description of where these two stone doors lead to, only the directions.

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it, opened the skill bar, found the divination method and chose to use it.

"You used divination."

"The method of fortune-telling (incomplete) (excellent technique), the method of fortune-telling passed down by Qing Nang Gong, there is no need to hold a forum to ask for divination, just pinch your fingers and think, you can tell good or bad luck, but because this method is incomplete, only the superficial part is left, so it is impossible to calculate the specific source of good or bad luck, you can only roughly predict good or bad luck, and it can only be used three times a day."

This is a skill that Jiang Xinghuo obtained from a Qingnang Gong believer when he was exploring Wufu Town. It doesn't require any technical skills and is considered the most common method of divination.

"You came to the stone door on the left and used the divination method to get a conclusion: it's very bad luck!"

"Then, you came to the stone door on the right and used the divination method to get another conclusion: Good luck!"

Ok?
Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows. This result was beyond his expectations. He really didn't expect to get a good fortune here.

real or fake?

Could it be a bug?

Jiang Xinghuo tried it twice more, but the conclusion he came to was still that the left side was very bad and the right side was very good.

Then there was nothing to hesitate about. Jiang Xinghuo directly controlled the game character to walk to the stone door on the right, intending to enter the ancient building from here to start exploring.
