My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 575: White Bone Yuanjun and Nine Dead Cicada
Jiang Xinghuo came to the stone door on the right and was about to control the character to go in when he saw a new text pop up in the game.

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

"The precious sword on your waist automatically unsheathed to protect its master, reminding you that there is a potential danger hidden around you. Perhaps the source is hidden behind this stone door. Do you want to enter it?"

Jiang Xinghuo narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that this was really interesting, the divination method suggested that this direction was auspicious, but the Turtle Spirit Seven Treasures Sword hinted that there was danger here.

Who should I trust?
perhaps,

There is no conflict between the two.

You know, danger and opportunity are often linked. Maybe the divination is not wrong, and there really is some treasure hidden behind this door.

And the Turtle Spirit Seven Treasures Sword was not wrong. There was indeed a huge crisis hidden behind this door. Perhaps only after passing these potential dangers could the hidden treasure be obtained.

This also explains why these two completely opposite situations occur.

After giving himself some psychological hints, Jiang Xinghuo took out the two maps from the magic bag.

"You triggered these two incomplete maps of the Yinshan Ancient Tower."

"You found that the map left by the owner of Liuhe Pavilion leads to the stone door on the left, and the map left by the owner of Meihua Pavilion leads to the door on the right."

"However, the routes inside the Yinshan Ancient Tower are complicated. Sometimes, even if you have a map in hand, it is difficult to guarantee that you can pass through those potential traps smoothly."

"What's your next choice?"

"Would you like to continue exploring through the stone door on the right, or would you like to explore through the stone door on the left?"

Jiang Xinghuo still insisted on his own ideas.

There isn't much difference between the two options.

There are dangers at every step in the Yinshan Ancient Tower. He may die here at any time. It is only a matter of time. He is mentally prepared for this.

Therefore, it doesn’t matter to him which door he chooses. He can just rush in. If he can gain something, it’s a profit. If he dies, he can just start over again.

"You walked into the stone door in front of you, and a dark corridor appeared in front of you. Fortunately, you had the map left by the owner of the Plum Blossom Pavilion, which enabled you to avoid the traps hidden in the dark."

"However, you always feel like there are footsteps following you, but when you listen carefully, you can't hear any sound. The Turtle Spirit Seven Treasures Sword is vibrating faintly in its sheath, but it doesn't automatically come out of the sheath to warn you of danger. It seems that it can't hold it steady either."

"You keep going..."

"The sound of footsteps continued to appear nearby. Just as you walked to the end of the corridor and saw a strange Taoist temple of bones in front of you, you suddenly felt a gust of cold wind sweeping from behind you."

"You subconsciously swung the Demon-Subduing Iron Whip in your hand and smashed it at the dark wind that was blowing behind you. You heard a piercing scream, and a black shadow fell to the ground from the dark wind. Its body was still entangled in lightning arcs, and it turned into a pile of ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye."

"You have killed, the Shadowy."

"Shadow demon (excellent), a kind of demon that is unique to the underworld. It can hide in the darkness. Although it has a physical body, it can blend into the shadows and likes to devour the souls of all living things."

"You have gained incense, +250."

"You found a black bead in the ashes of the Shadow Demon's corpse. Do you want to pick it up?"

Jiang Xinghuo controlled the character to go over and pick up the thing, and looked at the detailed description of the thing.

"You have obtained the Shape and Shadow Pearl."

"Shadow Pearl (Excellent Item), a pearl derived from the essence of a shadow demon after its death. It is also the source of the shadow demon's power. Carrying it on your body will give you the ability of a shadow demon and allow you to hide in the shadows."

"Do you want to equip the Shadow Bead?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes.

Now the more protection you have, the safer you are. It doesn’t take much effort anyway, you can just put it on the game character.

"You are equipped with the Shape and Shadow Pearl."

After killing the Shadow Monster, there was no information about footsteps in the game text, which gave Jiang Xinghuo some peace of mind.

The previous footsteps and the thing that was injured outside should have been caused by this shadowy monster. Everything will be fine after killing it.

Jiang Xinghuo continues to push the plot forward.

"You come to the end of the corridor and see a Taoist temple built of bones in front of you. There are old bloodstains on it and it emits a red glow. It doesn't look like a good place. The gate is also made up of a huge skeleton, staring at you from a dark perspective. What will you choose next?"

"Would you choose to return the same way and head to another road, or go into the White Bone Taoist Temple and explore?"

"You chose to enter the White Bone Taoist Temple."

"You unfolded the map left by the owner of the Plum Blossom Hall. The existence of this Taoist temple is marked on it. Inside, there is a Taoist monk with white bones and a lifelike remains. The Plum Blossom Sword Manual was obtained from that remains."

When Jiang Xinghuo saw this line of text, his eyebrows immediately raised. Was the Plum Blossom Sword Manual obtained from that corpse?
Jiang Xinghuo scrolled through the game text again. The Plum Blossom Blade was a martial arts secret passed down by the Martial Master. Could it be that the remains were the remains of the Martial Master when he practiced the Nine Deaths Cicada? ?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo immediately controlled the character to enter the Taoist temple.

"You have entered the White Bone Taoist Temple."

"You triggered it, the Immortal Scripture."

"After you entered this Taoist temple, the bamboo slips of the immortal scripture in your magic bag suddenly floated out automatically, and countless golden lights emerged and transformed into a text."

"You read it carefully and found that the content recorded here is actually the origin of this Taoist temple of bones."

"The White Bone Taoist Temple is a relic passed down from the last secular civilization that has been destroyed. In order to keep the flames of the past alive, the last Taoist Celestial Sovereign of the old secular world gathered all the Taoist heritage and built this White Bone Taoist Temple with the bones of thousands of ghosts and gods. Only in this way can the Taoist Temple be kept intact in the doomsday catastrophe when the world is destroyed."

"But it is precisely because of this that in addition to all the Taoist traditions, the Taoist temple also has the traditions left by those monsters and demons."

"When the old world was destroyed, all living beings put aside their past grudges and came together. Although they were ultimately unable to reverse the defeat, they left behind their heritage, hoping that future generations would pass on the torch and continue to thrive."

"Do you want to explore the White Bone Taoist Temple?" "You have explored the White Bone Taoist Temple and discovered many inheritances of monsters and demons. Although you cannot practice these spells, the evil spirits and demons you have imprisoned in the acupoints can improve their strength through these inheritances. Do you want to release them to comprehend the unique skills of the ghosts and gods here?"

Is there such a good thing? ?

Jiang Xinghuo was also happy to release the evil spirits in the acupoints. Their strength became stronger, which naturally meant that his own strength would also become stronger.

As for whether they would be able to break free from the control of the God-Binding Talisman after becoming stronger, Jiang Xinghuo was not particularly worried about this. After all, he was not using an ordinary God-Binding Talisman. He started with a black quality one. Even the two evil God-Binding Talismans of the Silver Mother of the Swallowing Dragon were replaced by the rare black quality ones.

"You released the demons and monsters that were imprisoned in the acupoints, and let them comprehend the magic of the Taoist temple on their own. Even the sleeping Hanba was awakened by the aura here and began to comprehend in a daze."

"You continue to search and explore the temple..."

"But the result makes you feel a little disappointed. Perhaps it is because too much time has passed. Some of the magic tools placed here have decayed over the long years. The few that have survived have lost their spirituality. Only the original materials are left. They can be recycled, but it is impossible to restore their former glory."

"Finally, you came to the back of the Taoist temple, where a white-bone Taoist was enshrined, and a lifelike corpse was sitting on a cushion next to it."

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You have discovered the remains of Lord Bai Gu."

"You have discovered that the Nine Dead Cicada has faded away."

"The remains of the White Bone Lord (mythological material). The White Bone Lord was a powerful being in charge of the origins of the four laws of life and death, bones, humans, and burials in the old secular world. Even in terms of the wisdom of the old secular world, he was second only to the Taoist Heavenly Lord. He once established four Taoist landmarks by himself, but they eventually collapsed over the long years and never appeared again in the world again."

"Do you want to collect this body?"

Jiang Xinghuo's heart began to pound. This was a material of mythical quality. It was the only intact mythical-level material he had ever come across in the game.

"You chose to collect the remains of White Bone Yuanjun."

"..."

"..."

"Your cultivation is too low to get close to the remains of White Bone Yuanjun."

"You are affected by the power emanating from the skeleton, and the medicinal properties of the Xiantian Tutai Pill begin to be refined rapidly..."

In reality, Jiang Xinghuo also felt the changes. The medicinal properties of the Xiantian Turen Pill quickly dissolved into his flesh, blood and magic power.

If the speed of refining medicinal properties before was like a horse and ox pulling a cart, then now it is like a sports car running on the highway.

However, in the blink of an eye, the medicinal properties of the Xiantian Rebirth Pill had been completely refined, and the magic power had been improved by more than one level compared to before.

At this time, new information came from the game.

"You have completely refined the medicinal properties of the Xiantian Tutai Pill, and your physique has also been transformed from an acquired body to a pure and flawless innate body."

"Your mana has also been greatly improved, +20."

"Also, you feel like you have some extra memories in your mind."

"You have obtained the God-Binding Immortal Talisman."

"The God Binding Talisman (Mythology) is a spell that can bind all things in the world. Even mythical creatures have a chance to be bound by this spell, but the materials required are extremely rare. Bai Gu Yuanjun is one of the founders of this spell. He sensed that you have mastered the method of the God Binding Talisman, so he will complete this spell for you."

After Jiang Xinghuo finished reading this text message, he felt his head buzzing, and a large amount of information poured into the depths of his mind. The first half was similar to the method of the God-Binding Talisman, but it seemed more exquisite and complicated. The second half was a completely unfamiliar talisman incantation.

Especially after he digested the memories in his mind, he had a new understanding of this spell.

Judging from the contents of the God-Binding Immortal Talisman, there is indeed a chance of sealing and restraining mythical monsters and demons, but the materials required are extremely demanding and cannot be made with ordinary talisman paper. One must use the skin of mythical creatures to perfectly make this God-Binding Talisman.

But then again, if he has the ability to obtain the skin of a mythical creature, then there seems to be no need to use the God-Binding Talisman.

But as I said, having something is better than having nothing. You never know when you will be lucky enough to get the skin of a mythical creature, and then you can make the highest quality God-Binding Immortal Talisman.

The text of Bai Gu Yuan Jun ends here.

No new content popped up afterwards.

Jiang Xinghuo controlled the character and came to the remains of the Nine-Death Cicada. He originally thought that the remains were left by the Martial Lord, but after reading the following game text, he realized that this was not the case at all.

"The remains of the Nine-Death Cicada (rare material), the remains of a Nine-Death Cicada practitioner, but this remains is dead, because the original body has been dead for countless years. This remains is just a facade, without any other magical powers."

"Although the Nine Deaths Cicada is a mythical skill that allows a person to die first and then fade away, and then use the fading away to continuously recover from the damage they have suffered, and can also use the body they shed before to change bodies and be reborn, the prerequisite is that the person's consciousness is not obliterated. If the person's consciousness is obliterated in an instant and there is no time to transfer it to another body, then even if one possesses the Nine Deaths Cicada's magical skill, one will still die in the end."

"This deceased owner is like this. His consciousness has been wiped out, leaving only a shell. But you can give it a try. Perhaps you can find out some secrets about the Nine Deaths Cicada's skills from this shell."

"Do you want to touch the body?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation.

"You searched the corpse of the Nine Deaths Cicada and injected the Nine Deaths Cicada's positioning power into this body. You tried to find out the route of the Nine Deaths Cicada's skills, and you actually cracked some secrets that are not passed on."

"Your Nine Dead Cicada level has been increased by +2."

"You have sensed an unfamiliar technique running through this body. It can not only increase the number of Nine Dead Cicada bodies you can shed, but also allow you to temporarily transform your body into a virtual form and avoid all attacks."

The Nine-Death Cicada's level was upgraded and it also developed new talents and abilities, which was something Jiang Xinghuo had not expected.

But just when Jiang Xinghuo was thinking about this, he saw new text content coming from the game.

"You were attacked by the soul-demanding Zen sound."

"Your internal organs, soul and consciousness were instantly shattered by the sudden Zen sound."

"You are dead."
