My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 584 Method
Looking at the two options given by the game, Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but fall into thought. He has now found the Soul-Eating Gu, obtained the inheritance relic of the Xiantian Bagua, and knew how to find the Huangquan Dojo and obtain the Fragments of Hell.

It can be said that his mission is complete and he can just leave now without causing any impact on him.

But after triggering the plot of the gravekeeper, Jiang Xinghuo felt itchy in his heart. If he didn't get to the bottom of the matter, he would feel uncomfortable all over.

Therefore, Jiang Xinghuo was too lazy to think about it anymore and directly chose to go to the cemetery on the left side of the Yinshan Ancient Building again, intending to confront the gravekeeper to see who was telling the truth.

Although he was more inclined to believe the gravekeeper, he did not dare to jump to conclusion before finding clear evidence, so he decided to go and take a look first.

"You chose to go to the cemetery again."

"On the way, please wait..."

"You come to the room where the cemetery is located, but the door is no longer open to you. You can't step into the cemetery again. What are you going to do next?"

"Are you going to linger on?"

Cannot enter the graveyard.

Jiang Xinghuo felt a little disappointed. It seemed that he could only wait until later to explore again. Perhaps when his strength became stronger, he could enter here again.

After all, the road leading to the third floor of the Yinshan Ancient Tower is hidden at the end of this cemetery.

"You chose to leave Yinshan Ancient Tower."

"You follow the path you came from and return to the hall of Yinshan Ancient Tower. You use the key in your hand to open the sealed door of Yinshan Ancient Tower. A cold wind blows in from outside. Do you want to leave Yinshan Ancient Tower immediately?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes.

There would be no gain if I delayed any further, it would just be a waste of time, so I might as well go somewhere else and explore on my own.

"You have walked out of the gate of Yinshan Ancient Tower. Where are you going to go next?"

"You choose..."

Before the game's interactive options could pop up, Jiang Xinghuo saw the screen flash and a new content pop up.

"You walked out of the gate of the Yinshan Ancient Tower. Suddenly, more than a dozen figures appeared in the woods on both sides. They were all monsters from the underworld. They surrounded you with a covetous look in their eyes and asked you to hand over the things you found in the Yinshan Ancient Tower, otherwise they would throw you into purgatory."

Jiang Xinghuo noticed that the word "Purgatory" mentioned in the game text was constantly flashing a blood-red light, so he lightly tapped his finger and clicked on the specific description.

"Purgatory is a hell above all the hells in the underworld. It is ruled by the two generals Zeng and Sun under the command of the Lord of the Underworld. It is specifically used to suppress and imprison those wronged souls and evil ghosts who have committed rebellion and committed unforgivable crimes."

"If other hells offer a chance of escape, then purgatory is truly a place of no return. Anyone imprisoned in purgatory will never be able to escape the torment in the depths of purgatory unless they can be forgiven by the Lord of the Underworld. Otherwise, until the day their life completely disappears, they will never be able to escape the torment in the depths of purgatory."

"However, no one knows what is inside Purgatory. Some say it is filled with the most vicious punishments in the world, while others say it is a void of dead silence without any sound or light. But there is no doubt that Purgatory is much more terrifying than ordinary hells."

"These monsters are threatening to throw you into hell. What are you going to do next?"

"Will you give in and hand over the things? Or will you kill these guys who are taking advantage of the situation?"

"Judging from the clothes these monsters are wearing, they should be the servants of General Zengsun. They may really have the ability to send you to hell."

There are two options: either give in or resist.

Jiang Xinghuo naturally would not choose to give in. He had spent such a long time in the Yinshan Ancient Tower before finding these things. How could he just hand over these things for nothing after a few words?

Not to mention that they are just the servants under the command of the two generals, even if the two generals themselves are here, he may not take it seriously. If you have the guts, come to the real world and bite me.

"You unleashed the power of the innate Bagua, and the power of the eight phases swept out like a tidal wave, crushing one after another. In one encounter, all the monsters and demons that stood in your way were smashed to pieces."

"You have obtained, Incense +1909."

"You are under the gaze of General Zengsun."

"General Zengsun II sensed that his followers had been killed, and expressed his anger and dissatisfaction."

"From now on, all the monsters under their command will temporarily improve their physical fitness for the whole year when facing you, until the day they kill you."

"Please choose where you want to go next??"

"Will you go back to heal the wounds of the Liuhe Pavilion Master? Or will you go to the source of the Yellow Spring to find the Yellow Spring Dojo? Or will you use the identity certificate in your hand to go to the 'Iron Tree Hell' or the 'Mortar Hell'? Or will you leave the underworld and return to the world of the living to explore something new?"

The game text gives four choices in a row.

Jiang Xinghuo took a quick look, chose the first option, and went back to treat the injuries of the owner of Liuhe Hall.

"You returned to Liuhe Martial Arts Hall again. The owner of Liuhe Martial Arts Hall was much weaker than in the past few days. Fortunately, you rushed back in time, awakened the Soul Devouring Gu, and placed it on the wound of the owner of Liuhe Martial Arts Hall."

"Treatment is in progress, please wait..."

"Treatment completed."

"The Soul Devouring Gu has degenerated into young eggs."

"You have obtained the Soul Devouring Gu egg."

After the soul-eating insect was used once, it degenerated into young eggs. Jiang Xinghuo threw it into the box and poured some Styx water into the box to speed up the hatching of the young eggs.

Continue the game.

"The injuries of the Liuhe Pavilion Master were healed by the Soul Devouring Gu, and the wounds on his body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although the form of his soul has become much weaker, at least he no longer has to worry about his soul being torn apart."

"Master Liuhe is also very grateful to you. You personally risked your life to go to the Yinshan Ancient Tower to retrieve the Soul Devouring Gu for it. It should have given you something as a thank you."

"But it has nothing. The only thing it can show off is its ability and the foundation it established after coming to the underworld."

"If you don't mind, it wants to give this martial arts gym to you, and you will be the owner of the gym."

"Moreover, you don't have to worry about others causing trouble for you. It will completely eliminate all threats before you inherit this martial arts gym, leaving you with no hidden dangers at all. So... do you want to accept the gift from the owner of Liuhe Gymnasium?"

When Jiang Xinghuo read the content of the text, he thought it was really generous that he actually regarded the martial arts gym as a thank-you gift.

However, Jiang Xinghuo did not intend to accept the gift from the martial arts master, not to mention that he was a living person and could not stay in the underworld for a long time. The reason why he went to Yinshan Ancient Tower was not only to seek the Soul Devouring Gu, but more to open up a new map for exploration, and looking for the Soul Devouring Gu was also a side job.

Besides, when he went to the Yinshan Ancient Tower, the owner of Liuhe Pavilion gave him the Turtle Spirit Seven Treasures Sword, which was a magical weapon that could automatically sense danger and issue warnings. It was already a reward for this mission.

If he were to be greedy and take this martial arts school for himself, it would be a bit inhumane.

Besides, he was usually busy opening up dungeons in the game and had no time to manage an ordinary martial arts gym.

"You politely declined the gift of thanks from the martial arts gym owner and did not accept the martial arts gym. Instead, you proposed the idea of ​​hunting down the eight-headed boy."

"After hearing your proposal, the martial arts master immediately became interested. He suffered such a big loss at the hands of the Eight-Headed Boy. If he doesn't get back at you, he will never give up."

"It recently found out that the eight-headed boy often wanders around the sanatorium, seemingly looking for someone there, but he never achieved his goal and even lost a lot of ghost soldiers and ghost messengers."

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that this eight-headed boy was really capable, as he actually managed to find that sanatorium.

However, even if it found the sanatorium, it probably wouldn't be able to find the old ape.

The last time he entered the space behind the mirror, it was by accident that he found the cliff where the old ape was.

If you want to find the old ape in a targeted manner without knowing the whereabouts, it would be impossible unless someone takes the initiative to leak the information.

While Jiang Xinghuo was thinking about it, new content popped up in the game.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Will you choose to go and find the Eight-Headed Boy right away? Or will you decide to listen to the opinion of the Master of the Six Harmonies Pavilion after making your plans?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose the latter.

Although he might not necessarily lose to the eight-headed boy in a head-on confrontation, it would be best if he could save some energy.

"Master Liuhe said that he had been thinking about how to kill this eight-headed boy since he was injured. He had little chance of winning in a head-on fight, so he had to think of other ways. He actually found a suitable way."

"That was when it was in the mortal world. It met a disciple of a horse-riding immortal. From the disciple, it learned that after a dead horse-riding immortal enters the underworld, he can condense a new inner elixir in his body. This has a unique effect on the creatures in the underworld. Without letting the creature notice, it can gradually suppress the opponent's cultivation and reduce his strength by about 70% at most."

"If we can find this inner elixir, we can reduce the power of the Eight-Headed Boy, and then it will be much easier to find a way to deal with it."

"There is also a Huangpizi Temple in the Dragon City of the underworld. Many Huangxians live in it. Although it was destroyed by someone last time, it was rebuilt very quickly."

"Master Liuhe plans to go to the Huangpizi Temple after he recovers to see if he can obtain this inner elixir."

"What are you going to do now?"

"Are you going to wait until the Liuhe Pavilion Master's strength recovers before going there, or are you going there yourself to see if you can obtain that kind of inner elixir?"

Jiang Xinghuo didn't hesitate too much. After the interactive option popped up, he made a choice immediately.

It's better to deal with this matter sooner rather than later. Instead of waiting for the martial arts gym owner to recover, it's better to go there myself now and resolve the matter as early as possible. Otherwise, things may change.

"You left Liuhe Martial Arts Hall and headed straight for the Huangpizi Temple. The topography of the underworld Dragon City is the same as that of the living world, so you arrived at your destination very quickly."

"The Yellow Skin Temple stands in the middle of the square with a lot of incense burning. There are also many underworld creatures outside who are constantly bowing and worshipping. Do you plan to break in directly, or find a chance to sneak in?"

"You chose to force your way into the Huangpizi Temple."

"Some underworld creatures around wanted to stop you, but they were forced back by the demon-suppressing iron whip in your hand and dared not get close to you, so you easily broke into the Huangpizi Temple."

"The first one to bear the brunt was an old yellow-skinned man. You remember clearly that he was the beast that ate you alive last time. When enemies meet, their eyes are full of jealousy. You waved the steel whip in your hand, and countless cloud seal talismans rotated, directly beating the old yellow-skinned man to death."

"You have killed Huang Laowu."

"You gained incense +750."

"You found something at the place where the old yellow-skinned man died. Do you want to pick it up?"

Jiang Xinghuo immediately chose yes and controlled the character to go over and pick up the thing.

"You have obtained a Yellow Immortal Inner Pill (rare), a Yellow Immortal Whisk (excellent), and an Iron Prosthetic Limb (excellent)."

"Yellow Fairy Inner Pill (rare material). After a Yellow Fairy dies and enters the underworld, there is a chance that a new inner pill will be born in its body. It is made of Yin Qi mixed with demonic Qi, which can reduce the cultivation of creatures in the underworld. It is also the source of the Yellow Fairy's cultivation."

found it! !

Jiang Xinghuo secretly thought that he was lucky. An inner elixir was actually condensed in the body of this seemingly inconspicuous old yellow-skinned man.

I don’t know if it will work on the eight-headed boy.

Jiang Xinghuo put the thing into his magic bag and turned to look at the remaining two things.

"Yellow Fairy Whisk (Excellent Item), made by Old Yellow Skin using his own corpse. When waved, it can release the poisonous gas of the Yellow Fairy. Although it is not very harmful, it has a foul odor that is unbearable."

Jiang Xinghuo was speechless. This thing might be useful in the future, but he didn't know who would be lucky enough to enjoy it.

Finally, there is only one iron limb left.

"Iron Prosthesis (Excellent Prop). The soul of the Yellow Skin Immortal was damaged before his death. After he came to the underworld, the damage could not be restored and he became a lame Yellow Skin Immortal. So he spent a lot of money to ask the Taoist master in the underworld to forge an iron prosthesis using the unique forging technology of the underworld. It has extraordinary significance for studying the forging technology of the underworld."

There are three prop materials in total.

The last two items can only be regarded as extras, the Yellow Immortal Inner Pill is the real thing, and it is also what can be used next.

"Now that you have obtained the Yellow Immortal Inner Pill, where do you plan to go next?"

"Will you choose to go back to Liuhe Martial Arts School to make a long-term plan? Or will you go straight to trouble the Eight-Headed Boy?"
