My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 588 Ancient God
"The Lice Fairy opened its eyes. Although it is still very weak, it has at least escaped the torment of the Yinhun Gu. It sincerely expressed its gratitude to you."

"If you hadn't suddenly arrived and saved it, I'm afraid it would have continued to pretend to be dead and sleep endlessly until the day when the vitality in its body was completely devoured by the Yinhun Gu."

“By then, even if it has great abilities, it will only become a pile of dry bones in this secret room without sunlight.”

"You have also asked the question in your heart. Why doesn't the Lice Fairy take out the Yinhun Gu by itself? With its extremely terrifying vitality and recovery ability, it can completely cut open its chest and dig out its heart to eliminate the threat posed by the Yinhun Gu."

"The Lice Fairy explained to you that it was not that it didn't want to do that, but that it couldn't do it."

"You also learned about what happened that year from the mouth of the Lice Fairy. Just as you guessed before, this ghost insect, this secret room cage, and the seal outside were all left by the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva of the Ten Directions Zen Forest."

"Back then, the Lice Fairy accidentally discovered a secret of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. After being discovered by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, it fled for thousands of miles. It ran all over the secular world but could not escape Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's pursuit. Instead, countless people it had offended in the past came out to help it, leaving it extremely anxious and at a loss as to what to do."

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo was speechless, thinking that you asked for it. If you were a little more popular, I'm afraid Dizang would also have some concerns.

After all, this Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is nominally the ruler of the entire secular Buddhist community, and sometimes he cannot give up this face.

But he happened to meet a master like the Lice Fairy. As long as Dizang raised the banner of eliminating harm for the people, those who he had offended would immediately jump out, and even if they would not add insult to injury, they could not be expected to help him.

"The Lice Fairy also felt a little embarrassed, lamenting that he had offended too many people, so that when the time came, no one came to help. In order not to implicate his disciples, he had no choice but to flee to the underworld alone, hoping to avoid being hunted down by Ksitigarbha."

"But the Lice Fairy didn't expect that this was exactly what Dizang wanted it to do. It fled to the Iceberg Hell, hoping to find a place where powerful ghosts and gods were sleeping to hide, hoping that Dizang would be cautious and not pursue it anymore. However, Dizang didn't have these concerns. Not only did he not leave, but he was captured by Dizang with the help of the Lord of the Iceberg Hell."

“It was then that the Lice Fairy found out that the master of the Iceberg Prison and Ksitigarbha were actually in the same group, and that they had a very close relationship with each other, as if they were from the same lineage.”

Jiang Xinghuo frowned slightly. It was only at this moment that he realized that the owner of the Iceberg Prison was actually related to Ksitigarbha!
Could it be that the other party is also a disciple of Shifang Zen Temple? ?

Jiang Xinghuo suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to read on, wanting to see if he could find out the truth of the matter from the subsequent text.

"After the Lice Fairy was captured by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, he wanted to kill her directly. However, the Lice Fairy's power was too strong, and even Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva could not kill her completely. He could only dig a secret room under the iceberg to break the Lice Fairy's limbs and lock her inside. At the same time, he also planted the Yinhun Gu in her."

"The Yinhun Gu uses the vitality of the Lice Fairy as nutrients to continuously devour its vitality. In addition, the Yinhun Gu can continuously release a strong evil aura. Combined with the demon-suppressing scripture engraved by Ksitigarbha on the stone door of the secret room, the two forces can attack the Lice Fairy at the same time."

"The Lice Fairy must not only resist the Yinhun Gu in her body, but also resist the demon-suppressing scriptures outside, which has led to her own abilities being greatly suppressed."

"If the Lice Fairy cut open its belly and took out the Yinhun Gu at that time, it would most likely die on the spot, so it can only fall into a state of suspended animation to resist the invasion of the two forces."

"If you hadn't come here at this time and destroyed the Demon Subduing Sutra outside, it would not have revived from its state of suspended death. It would have turned into a scattered, mottled skeleton after a long, long time."

"The Lice Fairy once again expresses its gratitude to you. Although it has offended many people in the past, it is also a person who will repay a favor and avenge a grudge. It is a pity that it has been trapped here for many years and has nothing. After it leaves here, it will definitely find countless treasures to repay your life-saving grace."

Jiang Xinghuo took a look at the text and thought to himself, Dizang, you'd better wish you good luck. With such a vengeful top master in the dark, you will probably never sleep well from now on.

However, Jiang Xinghuo noticed one thing mentioned in the game text.

That is, the reason why the Lice Fairy was hunted down and imprisoned by Dizang was not because something offended Dizang, but because it discovered a secret, so Dizang crossed the Yin and Yang realms to hunt down the Lice Fairy.

This is completely different from the information circulating in the secular world today.

I don’t know what secret the Limu Fairy discovered about Ksitigarbha that caused the other party to hunt her down so fiercely and use such a vicious method to kill her.

Jiang Xinghuo continued to push the plot forward, wanting to know what secret the Lice Fairy had discovered.

The game text is also very powerful. It seems to have sensed his thoughts and directly popped up an interaction with this question.

"You asked what secrets the Limu Fairy knew that caused her to be harmed to such an extent by the Ksitigarbha?"

"The Lice Fairy has no reservations about you, his lifesaver, and has decided to tell you the secret he knows, but he has told you never to reveal this to anyone, otherwise Ksitigarbha will kill you at all costs, even if you are in an exile place that cannot be located."

"However, the Lice Fairy did not directly reveal the secret. Instead, it asked you if you knew where its almost immortal power came from?"

Jiang Xinghuo really didn't know the answer to this question. He only knew that the Lice Fairy was very tough. He sat there without resisting and was besieged for several days, but he still did not suffer any fatal injuries.

"You shook your head and honestly said that you didn't know. The Lice Fairy laughed out loud and said that in today's secular world, the number of people who know the source of its ability can be counted on one hand. Apart from the Lord of the Secular World who has long since fallen, only a few exiles who were on good terms with it back then know."

"It turns out that in the ancient times of this secular civilization, Shimuxian was just an unknown ordinary person, suffering from a terminal illness. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was powerless, and every day he lived was a blessing."

"Until that full-moon night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was lying by the river admiring the moon, when it suddenly discovered that the moonlight gathered into a figure that descended from the sky in front of it. It was an indescribable great existence. Until now, the Lice Fairy has no idea whether that great existence is a man or a woman, only that it is an ancient god from the starry sky."

"After that unspeakable great being appeared, he asked the Lice Fairy what she wanted and said he would fulfill her wish. At that time, the Lice Fairy was suffering from a serious illness and was in unbearable pain. After hearing what the other party said, he subconsciously said that he wanted to never get sick and live in the world without any disasters forever."

"After hearing what the Lice Fairy said, the ancient god immediately fulfilled its wish. Not only did he cure the stubborn disease and pain in its body, but he also gave it a more powerful immortality. Even if it suffered the most fatal injuries, it could recover quickly in a short period of time."

"From now on, there will be one less sickly person in the secular world, but one more Lice Mother Fairy, a Lice Mother Fairy who can do whatever he wants in the secular world without any scruples!!"

After reading this description of the game text, Jiang Xinghuo finally understood the source of the power of the Lice Fairy. It turned out that the ability was bestowed upon it by the ancient gods in the starry sky.

It is conceivable that the ancient star god who gave the immortal power to the scorpion fairy must be more powerful than the year-chasing star god, otherwise the spirit official would not be able to kill him. But what does this have to do with the secret of Ksitigarbha? ?

Jiang Xinghuo's thoughts were turning rapidly, and suddenly he had an idea, as if he had thought of something.

Is it...

Jiang Xinghuo had a guess in his mind and hurriedly continued to advance the plot.

"The Lice Fairy continued to say that it relied on this power to run rampant in the secular world, and few people could afford to offend it."

"But one time, it heard from others that the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the Ten Directions Zen Forest had a high level of cultivation, not inferior to the masters of the Palm Dao level. So it felt indignant and broke into the Ten Directions Zen Forest alone, wanting to compete with the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. However, it did not know that it discovered a shocking secret in the Ten Directions Zen Forest."

"It turns out that Ksitigarbha is not a creature born and raised in the secular world, but a reincarnation of a descendant of another ancient god from the starry sky."

"Moreover, it has also found out that the six heavenly ghosts and gods in the secular world today are all butcher knives created by the ancient gods of the starry sky, in order to destroy one secular civilization after another."

"When the Lice Fairy learned the news, he wanted to tell other powerful people in the secular world, but Dizang discovered his infiltration and chased him all the way out. Although he encountered many monsters and demons during the process, no one believed his words. They just thought he was deliberately throwing dirty water on Dizang."

"But according to the Lice Fairy's speculation, even if those monsters don't completely believe what it says, they should still have some doubts in their hearts. But even if those people doubt, it's useless because there is no evidence to prove this."

"The only witness is the Lice Fairy, who is a notorious scoundrel who tells at least eight hundred lies on a daily basis, so his words have no value at all."

"The Lice Fairy sighed with emotion, saying that after leaving here, the next thing he would do was to find evidence to prove those things, and then go to Dizang to settle the account."

"And according to Shimuxian's speculation, the owner of this iceberg hell is also very likely to be an ancient star god, and it is even possible that he is from the same clan as the ancient god before Ksitigarbha's reincarnation."

Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help pinching his nose as he read the description in this text. Things were becoming increasingly complicated.

He learned from the old monk in the Three Ghost Temple that the main reason for the collapse of the last secular civilization was the six heavenly ghosts and gods.

Those six-day ghosts and gods wanted to reap what that civilization had accumulated.

In the end, the war ended with the destruction of the last earthly civilization.

Now he learned from the Lice Fairy that those six heavenly ghosts and gods were just a knife, a butcher knife forged by the ancient god of the starry sky. The purpose was not known for the time being. Perhaps it was for something, or perhaps it was just a whim to have some fun for themselves.

However, judging from the past experiences of the Shimuxian, those ancient gods in the starry sky may not all be cold-blooded and ruthless, and there may also be some who are relatively gentle towards worldly beings.

For example, the ancient god who gave the immortal power to the fairy Shimu.

But it does not rule out the possibility that they are birds of a feather.

It's like a billionaire who sees a beggar on the street. He happens to be in a good mood and gives the beggar a hundred yuan so that the beggar can fill his stomach and also finds a job for the beggar.

For some people, it may just be that they are in a good mood and do it casually.

But if they are in a bad mood, they may ignore you, or even think you are an eyesore and ask you to disappear.

"Now you know what happened to Limuxian. Limuxian's body has returned to normal in just a few minutes. Although it is far from restored to its heyday, it is not difficult for him to move freely and leave here."

"Do you want to leave with the Lice Fairy?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose to leave. If he had not discovered the ancient well, he would have left the iceberg hell long ago.

This time, he learned some secrets from the Lice Fairy. Compared with the other things he got, this secret was the most precious.

The Ksitigarbha of the Ten Directions Zen Temple, the master of the Iceberg Hell, and the six heavenly ghosts and gods in the secular world all have a great connection with the ancient gods in the starry sky.

What exactly they want to do is still unknown.

But Jiang Xinghuo could guess in his heart that those ancient gods probably wanted to take over the mortal world and the underworld for themselves.

But for some reason, they cannot take direct action, so they let their offspring come to the secular world, hoping to control this secular world through roundabout policies.

In addition, there are the group of people including Master Fu Shuai Bao Yun and Empress Huang Tian. What is their relationship with those ancient stars and gods? What role do they play in this?

Moreover, all the information he knew now was learned indirectly from other people.

Therefore, I was somewhat skeptical about all the information I got.

He was not stupid enough to believe everything others said. The old man in his family told him that it was better to be cautious in everything than to be cheated. He would not lose anything anyway.

"You and the Lice Fairy left the ancient well and returned to the Iceberg Hell, only to find that several monsters had been waiting for you outside. As soon as you showed up, they launched a fierce attack..."
