My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 585 Happy Dragon Boat Festival!!
Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and felt that there was no need to go back to the martial arts gym to call for help. With the Yellow Immortal Inner Pill in his hand, he could deal with the eight-headed boy by himself.

Moreover, it is not known whether the prop, the Suppression Stele, can work in the underworld. If the Suppression Stele can be used in the underworld, combined with the effect of the Yellow Immortal's Inner Pill, it is enough to turn the Eight-Headed Boy into a useless person.

I'd take this opportunity to go over and try it out.

If the town monument could be used in the underworld, he would save a lot of trouble in his exploration of the underworld.

After making up his mind, Jiang Xinghuo no longer hesitated and controlled the character to rush towards Puci Sanatorium.

According to the owner of Liuhe Pavilion, the eight-headed boy was wandering around the sanatorium and seemed to have found some clues.

"You chose to go to the sanatorium to find the bad luck of the Eight-Headed Boy."

"On the way, please wait..."

"The kingly aura on you allows you to move freely in the underworld. Even those who covet you dare not approach you rashly, for fear of angering the king of the underworld behind you."

"Continue on the road..."

"You have arrived at the Puci Sanatorium."

"The old and dilapidated sanatorium stands on the wasteland. You hide your figure in the wind and gaze at the monsters wandering inside and outside the sanatorium."

"You saw a boy with eight heads standing at the entrance of the sanatorium, looking like he was waiting for news from his ghost messengers."

"You have discovered the eight-headed boy."

"Eight-headed boy (rare), a demon made of the remains of the dead celestial officials under his seat. He has the ability to increase blessings and reduce lifespan, and has the innate ability to predict crises and can sense murderous intent directed at him."

"What are you going to do next??"

"Will you choose to sneak into the sanatorium without alerting anyone, or will you choose to attack the Eight-Headed Boy directly from outside?"

Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect that this eight-headed boy actually had the talent to warn of murderous intent.

If I choose to take action against it, I'm afraid it will react immediately.

However, Jiang Xinghuo didn't take it too seriously. It was nothing more than a head-on attack. Even without the Yellow Immortal Inner Pill and the Territory-Suppressing Stele, he wouldn't necessarily lose to the Eight-Headed Boy, not to mention that he had found these two things now.

"Please select the props you want to use:"

The game text gives several options, but the town monument is not one of them.

Jiang Xinghuo simply opened the magic bag himself and found the town monument inside. Fortunately, the text of this prop did not turn gray, which meant that it could be used in the underworld.

For example, the scapegoat cannot be used in the underworld, and the text of the props is gray and cannot be selected.

"You used the town monument."

"You sunk the town monument into the ground and manipulated the dragon veins and earth energy to move the town monument to the front, right below where the eight-headed boy was."

"At the same time, the eight-headed boy also felt something was wrong. He felt that the power in his body was rapidly decreasing at an uncontrollable speed, and only about 50% remained in the end."

"The sudden change made the Eight-Headed Boy panic. He didn't know why he suddenly became like this, but after a brief moment of shock and panic, he immediately took measures to respond. He ignored his subordinates who were still exploring the sanatorium and wanted to leave the sanatorium with the people around him to avoid being ambushed and killed by others."

"How are you going to choose now?"

"Will you choose to let the eight-headed boy leave without engaging in direct conflict with them? Or will you intercept their path and kill them completely here?"

Jiang Xinghuo certainly wouldn't let them leave. There was no reason to miss the experience package that was delivered to his door.

"You chose to intercept the eight-headed boy and those ghost officials. You crushed the Yellow Immortal Inner Pill in your hand, and a foul-smelling yellow wind immediately spread out. Under your control, it just enveloped the eight-headed boy and the ghost soldiers and officials around him."

"The eight-headed boy was already a little panicked, especially because of his innate ability, which made him sense a fatal crisis. But before he could leave this uneasy place, a foul-smelling yellow wind enveloped him again. His strength had already been weakened, but it dropped another 20%, and the fatal crisis became more and more serious."

"You summoned the evil spirit that was imprisoned in the acupoints and started hunting the eight-headed boy."

"The Eight-Headed Boy's strength has been greatly weakened. He is completely unable to resist your attack and is quickly defeated. All the guards around him are also killed."

"Faced with a deadly threat, the eight-headed boy can't help but beg for mercy from you. He hopes you can spare him. He will definitely reward you handsomely."

"How do you choose now?"

"Will you accept the eight-headed boy's plea for mercy, take the things it gives you, and let it leave here safely? Or will you kill it directly? After it dies, those things will still be yours anyway?"

"Of course, you can also choose to pretend to let it go, and wait for it to take out everything before killing it."

"Although if you do this, you will attract the attention of the two generals Zeng and Sun, and gain their hatred and curses, but what does it matter to you?"

"Too many debts don't worry you, too many lice don't itch. Since you have offended them once, you don't have to worry about offending them a second time."

"So, what are you going to choose?"

Jiang Xinghuo glanced at the three options.

Finally, he chose the third answer. Although the second and third options were similar, he felt that choosing the third option might bring him some unexpected gains.

"You chose to play along instead of pretending to be nice. After severely injuring the eight-headed boy, you did not kill him. Instead, you let him use the treasure on his body in exchange for a chance to survive."

"Although the eight-headed boy was angry, he had no choice but to give in to you in order to save his life. He took out all the things on his body and said that he wanted to use these things to exchange for his life and property."

"You took a look at what it took out. Although it looked good, it was all junk that had little value or would be of little use to you."

"You waved the demon-slaying iron whip in your hand, telling the Eight-Headed Boy that you were very dissatisfied. The Eight-Headed Boy had no choice but to continue to take things out. Sure enough, this time it took out some good things."

"You have obtained a piece of Purgatory Ore (rare), a Longevity Gourd (consumable), and a Hand that Transforms Stone into Gold (rare)."

"Purgatory Ore (rare material), an iron ore originating from Purgatory, contains a trace of Purgatory's characteristics. Incorporating it into weapons and items can have the effect of delaying the opponent's thinking center."

"Longevity Gourd (consumable item), a gourd forged by General Zeng himself, containing fifteen years of longevity. After using it, it can increase a person's lifespan by fifteen years out of thin air."

"Note that each person can only use the longevity gourd once in his lifetime. If you use it too many times, it will not only fail to increase your lifespan, but will shorten your lifespan." Jiang Xinghuo's mind moved, and he took the longevity gourd into reality, which turned out to be a pitch-black gourd.

There is a talisman engraved on the right side, and a mark indicating the life span on the left side. There are fifteen scales in total, and each scale corresponds to one year of life.

Jiang Xinghuo did not plan to use the longevity gourd himself, but rather to give it to the elderly in his family.

He has also secretly taken care of the health of the elderly in his family, and solved some minor illnesses and disasters. Now they are all in good health and enjoy everything they eat. I can't say that they can live to 200 years old, but it is not difficult for them to live to be a hundred years old.

"The Hand That Turns Stone into Gold (Rare Organ), a severed hand found by the Eight-Headed Boy in Purgatory. It was originally the right hand of a sorcerer in the mortal world. It has the ability to turn stone into gold, but this ability cannot be controlled by the person. Once it is integrated with the person's own organs, anything the right hand touches will turn into pure gold, including living things."

"Do you want to fuse this Midas Touch?"

Jiang Xinghuo directly chose no. The thing was a good thing, but the key was that it would cause too much trouble.

He remembered watching a movie in which the character had the ability to turn stone into gold.

No matter whether it was food or water, as long as it touched the gold, it would immediately turn into gold. In the end, even the people around him turned into gold.

Jiang Xinghuo threw the Midas Touch into the magic bag.

He didn't want his right hand to become like that. Then it would become just a decoration and might even cost someone else's life.

"Now that you have obtained these three things, do you want to let the Eight-Headed Boy go?"

Jiang Xinghuo still chose no.

"The Eight-Headed Boy angrily accused you of being dishonest. He had given you the things, but you refused to let him leave. But you said that the Eight-Headed Boy still had some good stuff on him. If he didn't give it to you, he would have to pay with his life."

"The eight-headed boy's expression was uncertain, as if he wanted to fight you to the death, but he didn't dare to really break up with you. In the end, he could only take out something and hand it to you with a painful heart."

"You have obtained the fragment of Purgatory."

"Purgatory Fragment (Special), this is an inconspicuous fragment from a corner of Purgatory. After the Eight-Headed Boy got it, he kept it in his body. Even the two generals who increased and lost it didn't know about it. Unless it takes the initiative to take it out, even if the Eight-Headed Boy is killed, this fragment will disappear with it and return to Purgatory."

"As long as you carry this fragment of Purgatory with you, you can freely travel through other hells. You will not be affected by the rules of Purgatory and will always maintain your own mind and will not become a ghost slave of Purgatory."

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo was extremely surprised. Could he travel freely to other hells?

Isn't this equivalent to obtaining all the tokens of hell? !

He can explore other hells at will, saving the trouble of finding tokens to enter those hells.

I just don't know if this fragment of purgatory can be considered one of the fragments of the ten hells in the underworld.

Should it count? ?
After all, purgatory exists above other hells.

While Jiang Xinghuo was thinking about it, he saw new information pop up on the screen.

"It has been detected that you have obtained the Purgatory Fragment, which allows you to forge the Six Paths of Reincarnation Dharmakaya. However, the Dharmakaya forged with this fragment will undergo some unknown positive changes."

Seeing the new game text pop up, Jiang Xinghuo was prepared for it. Since Purgatory can also be used as a Dharma material, there is no need to abandon this fragment, not to mention that it is a positive change.

Now, Jiang Xinghuo was really glad for his choice. If he had killed the Eight-Headed Boy directly, he might not have been able to obtain the fragment of Purgatory.

"What are you going to do next?"

"The Eight-Headed Boy has given you the most precious fragment of Purgatory. Do you want to let him go?"

Jiang Xinghuo directly chose no.

"You have revealed your hideous claws, despicable exile. You lack great virtue and did not keep your promise. Instead, you mercilessly hunted down the Eight-Headed Boy."

"The Eight-headed Boy, whose strength has been greatly weakened, is no match for you at all. The power of the Eight Phases overturned and crushed you one after another. In just one encounter, the Eight-headed Boy turned into ashes and completely disappeared."

"You have killed the eight-headed boy."

"You gained incense +2700."

"You are under the gaze of General Zengsun."

"Your arrogant behavior has angered them again. From this moment on, all the monsters under their control will hunt you down endlessly until the day comes when you are thrown into purgatory and will never be able to be reborn."

Jiang Xinghuo just treated these words as fart. As I said, how dare you come to find me in the real world?

"Where are you planning to go next?"

"Will you choose to go into the sanatorium to look for the old ape, or go to other places to explore?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and did not choose to look for the old ape. Instead, he chose to go to the source of Huangquan and complete the task of the Lord of Huangquan first.

"You chose to go to the source of the underworld."

"On the way, please wait..."

"You have come to the shore of the underworld."

"The surface of the fast-flowing Yellow Spring was filled with a foul smell. Countless figures could be vaguely seen walking and wandering underwater, seemingly trying to break free. However, countless pairs of pale, rotten hands were dragging the legs of those dead souls tightly from below."

"As long as you go upstream along the Yellow Spring, you can reach the source of the Yellow Spring. However, ordinary ships cannot bear this force at all. You'd better find a ferry first."

Jiang Xinghuo opened the magic bag, found the land dragon boat, and clicked to use it.

"You have used the land dragon boat."

"You ride the dragon boat on dry land upstream, and the wronged souls and evil spirits in the underworld cling to the bottom of the dragon boat, as if trying to escape from the underworld."

"But it's not that easy to break free from Huang Quan. No matter how much those wronged souls make trouble, they can never completely get rid of Huang Quan's bondage..."
