My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 597 The Queen who gives birth to a child
Jiang Xinghuo sent the little fox away and received the gratitude and recognition from the old ancestor Hu Xian.

Although there are no substantial rewards or gains, at least it can guarantee that the other party will not join forces with Patriarch Huangxian to make things difficult for him.

This was enough for Jiang Xinghuo.

It was already difficult enough to provoke the Yellow Immortal lineage. If he also had to deal with the masters of the Fox Immortal lineage, he would have had trouble taking a single step in the Kanto region.

After dealing with these things, Jiang Xinghuo also turned his attention back and prepared to enter the internal organs to explore.

However, in order to avoid being interrupted again, Jiang Xinghuo controlled the character to walk to the gate and locked the door of the Buddha Jumping Temple from the inside.

He even found a few Lushandao talismans and pasted them on top. As long as no violence was used to break the door in, it could at least hold out for a while.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo felt at ease to enter the Five Internal Organs Temple.

"You walked into the dim temple gate, and a faint smell of blood mixed with the stench of decayed corpses came from somewhere and entered your nostrils."

"You carefully looked around and found that this place is not spacious, but it is airtight. Not only are the light-transmitting areas tightly sealed with stone slabs, but you can also vaguely see some incantations on them. They are all Buddhist scriptures drawn with blood. The bloody smell you smelled came from these stone slabs."

"In addition, you can see a clay Buddha sitting on a simple lotus platform in the middle of the five internal organs."

"However, although this clay Buddha looks compassionate, when you get closer and observe it carefully, you will find that the compassion of this clay Buddha is just a false appearance."

"But the truth hidden under that false benevolent appearance is a hideous and horrifying cannibalistic appearance."

"The red wood box held in the left hand of the clay Buddha contained a large number of ripped internal organs. Although they had long since decayed and shriveled, they still emitted bursts of fishy odor."

"The right hand of the clay Buddha is holding a thousand strands of red string, and at the other end of the red string are tied countless broken clay dolls."

"Your arrival seemed to have awakened the sleeping clay dolls. They opened their eyes and began to run around randomly, as if they were trying to break free from the red strings and escape from the temple."

"But no matter how the dolls struggled, even if they were smashed to pieces, with only half of their heads left screaming and squeaking, the red ropes tied to them still showed no signs of loosening or releasing themselves."

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You observed these clay dolls through the vision of Tathagatagarbha and discovered some hidden information and secrets."

"You have discovered the fertility doll."

"The fertility doll has the talents of 'pregnancy and childbirth' and 'blessing and childbirth'. Any couple blessed by the fertility doll can greatly increase the chance of pregnancy during sex."

"And it can bless babies that have already been conceived in the mother's womb but have not yet been born."

"Not only can it improve the innate qualities of unborn babies, but babies blessed by the fertility dolls will also be smarter and healthier after they are born."

"According to folk legends, the fertility dolls are the monsters under the fertility goddess. Although they are lively and naughty, they are kind by nature and will never attack anyone. Even if someone hurts them, they will only punish them lightly. They are also extremely sensitive to malicious intent. If they sense those who are extremely evil and have bad intentions, they will cast a spell to prevent them from having children. They can only have children again after they reform themselves."

"But now, these fertility dolls are trying desperately to break free from the red strings, even at the cost of turning themselves into broken bodies. They must have sensed a very threatening malicious intent."

"You also observed the clay Buddha on the lotus platform through the vision of Tathagata, and also saw through the secrets hidden under the other party's compassionate appearance."

"You have discovered it, Madam Five Desires."

"Lady Wuyu (legend), one of the six ancient gods, is good at mobilizing people's five desires and seven emotions. She likes to eat fresh organs. She is also very generous to her followers and will not hesitate to give her power."

"You have discovered it, Goddess of Childbirth."

"Songzi Niangniang (legend) is a folk deity from ancient times in the secular world. She holds the power to protect and give birth. She is also one of the direct disciples of Huangtian Niangniang. She walks in the secular world and has differentiated into thousands of incarnations, specializing in solving problems for folk couples. She is very popular and is also called 'the compassionate and merciful goddess who grants blessings and forgives sins and protects life' by believers."

Wow, his status is not low! He has a great background! He is actually the disciple of the Queen Mother of Heaven!
However, since the Goddess of Childbirth has such a high birth and so many followers, she must be very powerful. How could she end up like this? ?

Also, how did Tathagatagarbha know the identity information of the two people?
Is this clay Buddha in the Wuzang Temple the Lady of Five Desires or the Goddess of Childbirth? ?
The relevant information about the six heavenly gods existed as early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Jiang Xinghuo remembered that the Shangqing Grandmaster Lu Jingxiu had recorded:
"Humans and ghosts are in disarray. The old qi of the six heavens is called an official title. It is composed of hundreds of spirits and ghosts of the five wounds, the dead generals of the defeated army, and the dead soldiers of the disordered army. Men are called generals, and women are called ladies..."

The game text also says that this Lady of Five Desires is one of the six heavenly ghosts and gods.

I just don’t know whether they are the most primitive six heavenly ghosts and gods, or the later nominal six heavenly ghosts and gods.

If it's the latter, it's easier to deal with, but if it's the former, the result is hard to predict, and I will definitely not be able to defeat the other party.

Jiang Xinghuo clicked the screen and continued to advance the game text.

"You have discovered the consciousness of two people in this clay statue of the Buddha, but the consciousness of the Goddess of Childbirth seems to be there and not there, as if she could be swallowed and digested by the Lady of Five Desires at any time. What are you going to do next?"

"Will you choose to pretend that you didn't notice this and let those fertility dolls run around everywhere, or will you choose to help the Goddess of Fertility and suppress the consciousness of the Lady of Five Desires?"

"Of course, you can also choose to help Madam Five Desires and completely devour the consciousness of the Goddess of Childbirth. Then you will become a believer of Madam Five Desires. She has always been very generous to her believers, and you can also gain a lot of benefits from her."

"So how are you going to choose?"

The game text gave two options. Jiang Xinghuo looked at them carefully and finally chose the latter.

This is obviously a clue to advance the subsequent plot. If he chooses to pretend that he did not discover these things, the plot should take a different direction.

But if he chooses to get involved, the plot will definitely develop in another direction.

As for whether to help Madam Five Desires or the Goddess of Childbirth, the question is obvious. He does not want to become an accomplice of those six heavenly ghosts and gods.

What's more, becoming a believer of the six heavenly ghosts and gods is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger, and sooner or later you will be bitten back by it.

Moreover, only the power held in one's own hands can be considered real capital and trump card.

It would be the most foolish thing to pin your hopes of survival on others. "You chose to help the Goddess of Childbirth."

"Take out the remaining clean water and Guanyin soil in the magic bag and repair the broken fertility dolls on the ground. Their power will be restored and fed back to the fertility goddess."

"The Goddess of Childbirth gradually regained consciousness, but she did not ask you for help. Instead, she asked you to leave here as soon as possible."

"The power of Madam Wu Desire is too dangerous. It can mobilize all the negative emotions and desires in people's hearts. If you stay here, you will easily become a puppet controlled by her."

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo thought that this Goddess of Fertility was really a good person. If an ordinary person encountered such a situation, he would definitely try to ask for help, but the other party was only thinking about his own safety.

From this point of view alone, he will take care of this matter to the end, because such a good person should not die.

"You asked if you could help, but the Goddess of Childbirth said that you couldn't interfere in their affairs, so you should leave here as soon as possible to avoid being tortured by Madam Wuyu."

"At this time, Madam Wuyu also woke up from her deep sleep. Seeing that you had come to the Five Internal Organs Temple, she immediately activated her ability."

"It begins to mobilize your inner desires and emotions, and promises you that as long as you destroy all the fertility dolls running around on the ground, you can gain its recognition and become the ruler of the Five Desires Temple, and at the same time obtain the powerful power it bestows on you."

"You also feel a voice in your heart, constantly tempting you to accept Madam Wuyu's conditions."

"And all kinds of blurry illusions appeared before my eyes. These are all the rights and temptations you can enjoy after becoming the ruler of the Five Desires Temple."

"However, what Madam Wuyu didn't expect is that you have the power of the law of burial in your body. This law can bury everything in the world, including fame, wealth, and desire."

"Everything that Madam Wuyu promised you was like a passing cloud, blown away by the wind without causing any waves."

This Lady of Five Desires reminded Jiang Xinghuo of the Xinchan Temple in Shifang Zen Forest.

He once obtained a statue of the Five Thoughts Venerable and learned a spell called the Five Thoughts Desire from it.

You can mobilize people's emotions and desires at will.

Very similar to the abilities of this Lady of Five Desires.

Is there any connection between the two?

Or,
Is this just a coincidence? ?
But no matter what, this Lady of Five Desires cannot be kept. Even if she cannot be killed, she cannot live so comfortably.

Jiang Xinghuo opened the magic bag and rummaged through the pile of things inside for a long time, trying to find props that could come in handy.

Finally, his eyes lit up. He actually found something that might be able to help the Goddess of Fertility's current situation.

"You took out the Hundred Bowls from the backpack."

"The Hundred Bowls of the Jianghu and the City (rare item). This is a magical instrument bestowed by the Empress of Heaven on the disciples. It can be used to borrow the power of others for your own use. No matter whether the person being borrowed is still alive or not, as long as the other party has made a promise before his death, you can borrow the other party's power at any time. There is no upper limit to the number of times you can borrow power. However, the more power you borrow, the greater the pressure you will bear."

This item was something Jiang Xinghuo found on the corpse of the Toad God when he was exploring Lingshen Village. It can be used to absorb the power of others for his own use.

Since the Goddess of Childbirth is a direct disciple of the Goddess of Heaven and a secular deity that has existed since ancient times, and she is a kind person with a lot of good karma, she should be able to borrow some power to solve the current dilemma.

"You placed this bowl in front of the clay Buddha statue. When the Goddess of Childbirth saw this magical instrument, she was surprised and surprised in her words."

"Although Madam Wuyu didn't know what this thing was, she instinctively felt that something was wrong and wanted to destroy the bowl by force."

"The clay sculpture was holding the wooden tray containing the internal organs and smashing it hard against the coarse black porcelain bowl. However, the fertility dolls were faster and before the wooden tray fell, they delivered the black porcelain bowl to the hand of the one holding the red string."

"The Goddess of Childbirth, who obtained the Hundred Family Bowl of the City and the Rivers and Lakes, immediately activated the gift of this item."

“I don’t know whose power it borrowed, but I saw a wave of red mist rolling and enveloping the clay Buddha statue on the lotus platform.”

"When the red mist dissipated, the clay statue had been tightly wrapped by countless red threads, and the figure of the Goddess of Childbirth also walked out of the clay statue."

"You have gained the favor of the Goddess of Childbirth."

"The Goddess of Childbirth was dignified and gentle, with her slender white fingertips holding thousands of red silk threads. A dozen chubby white dolls were holding hands and playing happily around her."

"The Goddess of Childbirth bowed to you, thanked you for saving her life, and then returned the black porcelain bowl."

"The Goddess of Childbirth said that she has left a mark in it. If you need it in the future, you can borrow her power at any time."

"In addition, the Goddess of Childbirth gave you a strand of the red thread in her hand to express her gratitude to you."

"You have obtained it, and your marriage is a clue."

"Marriage is tied by a thread (rare material). This is a red thread woven by the Goddess of Childbirth using incense and marriage in the secular world. It can be extended and stretched indefinitely, and is extremely flexible. No force can destroy it. It can not only be used as a route marker, but also used to seal some monsters and demons."

"Please note that the marriage thread is woven by the Goddess of Childbirth with marriage incense, so it is also of great help to the marriage of men and women."

"Just tie the red string around the wrists of both people to deepen the bond between them."

"Please note that the "Marriage Ties" can only be used for men and women. It has no positive effect on other lovers, but may even have the opposite effect."

"Through your conversation with the Goddess of Childbirth, you also learned why she ended up in this situation. The reason why she was plotted against by the Goddess of Five Desires was because of the monk who is the owner of the Buddha Jumping Temple."

"The whole story can be traced back to before the demise of Dragon Court, when the Queen of the Dragon Court was about to give birth to a child..."
