My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 596 Secret
Jiang Xinghuo looked at the detailed description of Yuyi and thought that this thing was not very useful for strength, but he could try to use it to hide his identity.

The little Shouchixian was wearing the Eagle God's feather robe, probably because he didn't want people to find out that he was from Shouchi. In fact, he didn't realize it.

The information given in the game text is also suspected to be a spirit medium and a shaman, and there is no mention that the other party is a pool collector.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo continued to check other things.

"Shaman Tiger God Staff (Excellent Item), a staff made from a section of the spine of the Tiger God, one of the Thirteen Shaman Gods. It can increase the power of spells cast, and can also draw the power of the Tiger God to descend upon oneself."

"But because so much time has passed, the divine power attached to the Tiger God's spine has already disappeared, leaving only a tiny bit of residual power. After using it, it can slightly increase spell damage, and can also be used as a long weapon in close combat."

"Be careful, the Tiger God Staff has the ability to be bloodthirsty. Not only can the wounds caused by it not stop bleeding, but it can also absorb the blood of other creatures and convert it into mana and vitality to repair its own losses."

Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows. The passive function of this Tiger God Staff is quite good. It can absorb blood to restore its own losses. It can be a life-saving weapon at critical moments.

After this is finished, I will go find the Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian and see. If I can integrate this characteristic into the Dragon King's Taoist Soldiers or the Evil Star Bite, it would be the best thing.

Jiang Xinghuo also put the Tiger God Staff into the magic bag. All the props that he decided to hang in the niche shop for sale were piled up in the corners. The props that could be used in the future were all stored in the small building of the magic bag, which made it easier to distinguish them.

"The Immortal Altar (excellent item) can hold the entrance to the altar where the immortals of your own brothers and sisters hide. As long as you carry the altar with you, you can summon the immortals in it no matter where it is."

"However, this altar you obtained is just a showpiece. It has never been opened and has never been recognized by the immortals. It may fool laymen, but an experienced immortal will know at a glance that your altar is just for show."

Jiang Xinghuo didn't care. He wasn't a horse or shaman, so it didn't matter whether there was a fairy altar or not.

What's more, such a small altar is probably not enough to accommodate even one of the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Devil. If it were Hanba, who has a bad temper, he might just burn it to death.

Well, whoever wants it can take it, and we’ll sell it when the time comes if you pay, as long as it’s not too excessive.

Now there are only two things left, one is the altar for cultivation used exclusively by the Shouchi lineage, and the other is a secret book of soul-captivating techniques.

Jiang Xinghuo took a look at the secret book first.

The art of captivating souls is a technique commonly used by the Shuchi people in Guandong. It can capture people's souls without the help of any magical tools.

However, he had no way to practice this technique, as it was a skill specifically for evildoers.

But there was only one skill book, so Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and finally handed it to Bai Wuchang in the acupoint.

He originally wanted to let Bai Wuchang learn it and then teach it to the other monsters in the acupoint.

Who knew that except for Black Impermanence and Little Bone Dragon, the other big guys were simply unable to practice.

Jiang Xinghuo could only comfort them with kind words and promised to provide them with new props and skills in the future. Only then did those big guys in the acupoints feel satisfied.

Finally, only the Shouchi altar was left.

“Shouchi Altar (rare item), a special altar used by Shouchi people to imprison resentful spirits and evil spirits. The evil spirits imprisoned in it will lose their ability to resist and gradually be refined into rampant soldiers. At the same time, the mourning hall inside can also be used as a prison to imprison other monsters and demons.”

"You heard someone calling for help from inside the altar. It seems that the other party has sensed the death of the little Shouchi fairy, so he asked you for help, hoping that you can release him from the altar."

"Moreover, when you listened to the cry for help coming from the altar, you inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity, as if you had heard it somewhere before."

"Do you want to open this altar and release the people imprisoned in the mourning hall inside the altar?"

When Jiang Xinghuo saw what the game text said, he no longer hesitated and immediately controlled the character to open the pool collection altar.

"You have opened the altar of the pond."

"You opened the mourning hall space inside the Shouchi altar and released the unfortunate people imprisoned inside. Among those who were released, you also found a familiar figure."

"You've discovered it, little fox fairy."

"You met this little guy again. This time you have saved it three times. If you hadn't met it every time it was in danger, it would have become a dead fox long ago."

Jiang Xinghuo didn't expect to meet the little fox fairy here. Just as described in the game text, this was the third time he had met this little fox.

The first time was in the ghost house in the secular world of Bashu. It was ambushed and nearly died on the roadside. I happened to pass by and saved it.

The second time was in Fox Ridge Coffin Village, also known as Lingshen Village. The unfortunate child was instigated there and nearly suffocated to death in the coffin. He was saved by himself again.

And then this time,

It is not known whether there will be a fourth time, but this unfortunate child is really lucky. He meets me every time when his life is in danger.

"You recognized the little fox fairy, but the other party did not recognize you because of the compassion jade on you. In the eyes of the little fox, you are a stranger."

"However, the most sensitive organ of canines is the nose. Although your appearance looks very different from before, the little fox fairy smells a familiar scent on you."

"It recognized you immediately and happily jumped over and hung on you."

Is this okay? ?

Jiang Xinghuo was stunned!
You said that if the real body came over, the little fox would be able to smell it, and he wouldn't say anything, but now he is the Nine Dead Cicada Shell, how can he still smell it? ?
Is the sense of smell of canines in the secular world so subjective?

Or can you smell the breath of soul consciousness?
Jiang Xinghuo personally prefers the latter. If it is the former, then it would be too unscientific.

Even now it is very unscientific.

"You have once again saved the life of the little fox fairy. It wants to express its gratitude to you for your great kindness. It has no way to repay you in this lifetime, so it is willing to repay you with its own body. Do you want to accept it?"

Jiang Xinghuo was speechless. Why did he bring this up again? He remembered that the fox had played this trick on him last time in Lingshen Village. He had rejected it, but he didn't expect it to still not give up.

This time was no exception. Jiang Xinghuo chose no without hesitation. As he said before, he didn't want to have an extra wife for no reason, and a wife whose gender was temporarily unknown.

It's better to just leave this nonsense alone. It's too unreliable. No, absolutely not. "You once again rejected the little fox fairy's wish to marry you. She turned over and jumped off you, glaring at you with resentment, saying that she had never seen a human as stupid as you."

"You ignored the other person's complaints and only asked why he ended up in this situation."

"The little fox fairy said that he lost a bet with his tribe members after drinking, so he went to sleep in a mass grave in the wilderness."

“When it woke up again, it was already inside the funeral hall of the person who collected the pond.”

Jiang Xinghuo was too lazy to complain about the fox.

A problem child indeed

Fortunately, it has a strong life, otherwise it would not have survived until now. But if it continues like this, it will probably be in big trouble sooner or later.

"Seeing your speechless expression, the little fox fairy said unconvincedly that although he was locked up by the people in the pond, he also heard some secrets. If you can give him a big chicken leg, he will tell you all the secrets."

When Jiang Xinghuo saw the conditions proposed by the other party, he immediately controlled the character to return to the kitchen to search, and he actually found an aged roast chicken.

"This is a honey chicken that has been roasted for who knows how many years. Although it looks shiny and not spoiled, the meat fibers inside have long since turned into a mess. The texture and taste are no longer as good as before. Although it is not fatal to eat it, it may cause stomach upset for a few days."

Since this thing won’t kill people, then there shouldn’t be any big problem...right?

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, Jiang Xinghuo went back to find the little fox fairy and gave the honey chicken he had just found to her.

"The little fox fairy took the honey chicken and started to eat it with gusto. She didn't worry at all that you might have poisoned it. Instead, she tore the chicken leg and cheered while eating it. Her mouth was full of oil."

OK, Jiang Xinghuo slapped his thigh and thought, this is a dish I have never eaten before, it will be fine as long as he doesn't despise it.

"After the little fox fairy had eaten and drunk her fill, she held a chicken leg bone in her mouth and told you that she heard the collector mutter several times when she was locked up in the mourning hall."

"The reason why Xiao Shouchixian came here at the risk of death was not to seek for any rare treasures, but to find the mysterious power of the end that existed in the legend."

“That is a force that can rival or even surpass the Golden Rule.”

"As long as it can gain the recognition of the power of the end, even if the golden law is not recast, it can still gain the powerful power to challenge the secular world."

"Little Fox Fairy thinks that the person who collected the pond is just bragging. As we all know, the Golden Law is the most perfect law in the world. There is no power that can compete with the Golden Law."

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo's expression looked thoughtful.

Judging from the information he has obtained now, the power of the end should really be comparable to the golden rule, but the two have different focuses.

The power of the end symbolizes killing and ending, and the golden law symbolizes blessing and protection.

These are two completely opposite and diametrically opposed forces, but they are essentially somewhat similar.

As for the advantages and disadvantages of these two forces, Jiang Xinghuo is hard to say now.

But from his modern perspective, any kind of power in the world is not a good thing if it goes to extremes.

After learning these things, Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but have some thoughts in his mind. He has now obtained about 10% of the Golden Law. If he obtains the power of the end in the Dragon Court, what kind of changes will it bring? ?

Jiang Xinghuo felt that he could give it a try, and he also wanted to use it to verify a guess in his heart.

He suspected that the so-called power of the end and the golden law were actually the same force in essence, but they just took different extreme development paths.

If these two forces are combined into one, as harmonious as the Tai Chi Yin-Yang diagram, the power that can be unleashed will be beyond imagination.

Of course, this is just Jiang Xinghuo's inner guess. The truth of the matter still needs to be verified personally.

"The little fox fairy threw away the tasteless bone in his hand, smacked his lips with satisfaction, and said that he was going to look for the ancestor of the tribe. He sensed the breath and location of the ancestor and asked if you wanted to go with him?"

"What are you going to choose now?"

"Will you choose to leave with the little fox fairy and go find the ancestor of the fox fairy clan, or stay here as a lone ranger and avoid acting with others?"

Jiang Xinghuo naturally would not choose the former. Only this little fox had a simple mind and could ask such a question.

Now, any explorer who enters the Dragon Court Ruins, even companions who come together, are potential parties with conflicting interests.

There may not be any conflicts at ordinary times, but when the critical moment comes, it is normal to pick up weapons and fight.

Moreover, if he chose to leave with the little fox fairy, he would have to fight with the old yellow-skinned man first when they met, so it was not worth it to bring trouble upon himself.

"You just made up an excuse to fool the little fox, saying that you had something important to do and that you would go play with it after you finished your work here."

"The little fox fairy believed your words and told you to be careful, then she left the Buddha Jumping Temple."

"You were a little worried about the safety of the little fox fairy, and were thinking of giving it something to protect itself, but you saw a huge fox fairy image falling from the sky, wrapping up the little fox fairy and disappearing."

"You also received a message and warning from Hu Xian Patriarch. He first thanked you for saving that troublesome little fox, and then told you to be careful of Huang Xian Patriarch's plot."

"That old yellow-skinned guy has always been vindictive. Not only have you ruined so many of his good deeds, but you have also killed many of his disciples. If you meet him in the Dragon Court Ruins, he will definitely not let you go. He may even attack you personally without caring about his dignity, so you'd better stay away from him."

Jiang Xinghuo read the message from Hu Xian Patriarch and gained an understanding of his position.

As long as there is not enough conflict of interest, from the perspective of grudges alone, Patriarch Hu Xian will not stand against me.

But if there is a conflict of interest, the situation will be difficult to say.
