My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 598 Qilin Technique

Jiang Xinghuo used the power of the hundreds of bowls in the market to rescue the Goddess of Fertility from being devoured by the Lady of the Five Desires. He also received a thank-you gift from the other party and the authority to borrow her power.

But for Jiang Xinghuo, these are not what he wants, or rather, they are not what he wants most.

After all, if you look disdainful when a gift is delivered to your door, it would seem like you are being ungrateful.

Fortunately, the subsequent plot development did not disappoint Jiang Xinghuo.

Through communication with the Goddess of Fertility, he learned the whole story, but he didn't expect it to go back so long ago.

"That was when the Lord of the Dragon Court ruled the secular world, and he specially sent someone to invite the Goddess of Childbirth to deliver the baby for his wife."

"The Goddess of Childbirth came as promised and blessed the wife of the Lord of Dragon Court. The fetus in her belly was born safely. Because of the blessing of the Goddess of Childbirth, the fetus has talents far beyond those of ordinary babies."

"The Lord of Dragon Court was overjoyed. He not only thanked the Goddess of Childbirth, but also invited her to stay in Dragon Court for a while and attend the full moon banquet for her fetus before leaving."

"The Goddess of Childbirth did not reject the good intentions of the Lord of Dragon Court, and she was also quite interested in Dragon Court, so she stayed."

"However, on the eve of the full moon banquet, the Goddess of Childbirth suddenly received a call for help from the monk Shanxiang, saying that there was a pregnant woman in the temple who was about to give birth and suddenly showed signs of a difficult labor. He hoped that the Goddess of Childbirth could come over to help."

"After the Goddess of Childbirth learned about this, she had no time to care about anything else and followed the monk to the Buddha Jumping Temple."

"When she came here, she realized she had fallen into the trap."

"There is no pregnant woman at all. There is only a suppressed six-day ghost and a bewitched monk."

"The Goddess of Childbirth was caught off guard and was ambushed by the lewd monk. Her marriage body was burned to ashes by the flames, and her consciousness was trapped in the clay fetus of Madam Wuyu, with whom she entered a protracted stalemate."

"The Goddess of Childbirth is in charge of the power of 'protecting and nurturing'. She has countless incense clones in the secular world. The Lady of Five Desires is suppressed here by the Lord of the Dragon Court. Once she breaks free from the seal, she will be noticed by the Lord of the Dragon Court."

"So, Madam Wuyu came up with a solution, which is to take over the will of other living beings and get rid of the seal left by the Lord of Dragon Court."

"However, ordinary creatures cannot bear the consciousness of Madam Wuyu at all. Those who can bear her consciousness are all related to the Lord of Dragon Court. It is easy to arouse the Lord of Dragon Court's vigilance. Not only will they be unable to escape, but they may even fall into a deep sleep forever, with no chance of escape."

"So, Madam Wuyu put this idea aside for the time being, until she found out that the Goddess of Childbirth had come to the Dragon Court, and then she thought about it again."

"It's because the Goddess of Childbirth has so many incense clones. If it can devour the consciousness of the Goddess of Childbirth and take over her body, then it can transfer consciousness through those clones and successfully escape from the seal of the Lord of the Dragon Court."

"Although it would lose its six-day ghost body if it did so, it would have the freedom to move around freely, which is a sure win for it, so it let the bewitched monk trick the Goddess of Childbirth."

"But it still underestimated the cultivation and strength of the Goddess of Childbirth. Although it was seriously injured by the sneak attack, it was not something that Madam Wuyu could easily control. The two of them fell into a stalemate."

"However, Madam Five Desires was able to receive offerings from the meat-eating monks, but the Goddess of Childbirth had her body destroyed and her soul imprisoned, and she lost contact with her incarnations in the outside world. As one gained strength while the other lost, Madam Five Desires gradually gained the upper hand and devoured the Goddess of Childbirth's soul bit by bit."

"If you hadn't repaired those broken fertility dolls and restored some of the strength of the fertility goddess from her slumber, I'm afraid she wouldn't have noticed your arrival at all."

"Moreover, she didn't expect that you actually had the Shijing Jianghu Baijia Bowl. As a disciple of Huangtian Niangniang, Songzi Niangniang is very familiar with the ability of this item."

"It was with the help of this item that she was able to borrow some strength and turn the tide to save herself from defeat and completely seal Madam Wuyu's consciousness."

"Goddess of Childbirth asked curiously, are you also a disciple of Goddess of Heaven? How do you plan to answer this question?"

"Will you choose to tell the truth, or lie?"

The game text describes the whole story and finally gives two interactive answers to choose from.

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and thought that it wouldn't affect anything. There seemed no need to deceive the other party, so he chose to tell the truth.

"You said it was just something you got by chance, not something that was given to you by the Queen Mother of Heaven herself."

"The Goddess of Childbirth was not surprised to hear this, because she did not sense the same power in you. Instead, she asked if you wanted to become a disciple of the Goddess of Heaven. She could introduce you to the Goddess. I think there is a great chance that you can become fellow disciples."

"What are you going to do next? Are you going to accept the other party's kindness and become a disciple of the Queen Mother of Heaven?"

Tsk, the real reward is waiting here! !

Ancient powerful beings at the level of Empress Huangtian are the real big figures standing at the pinnacle of the secular world. If you can become her disciple, the benefits will definitely be more, not less.

But unfortunately, Jiang Xinghuo did not have this plan. Not to mention the position of the Queen Mother of Heaven, just from the perspective of the grievances and right and wrong between races, he was destined to stand on the opposite side of the Queen Mother of Heaven.

same,

It is impossible for the Queen Mother of Heaven to accept me as her disciple.

Even with the introduction of the Goddess of Fertility, he would still be helpless unless he was willing to be a traitor and become an undercover agent of the Goddess of Heaven in the human race.

Maybe there is still some hope of achieving the goal.

But this is obviously impossible.

Infernal Affairs is not that easy to act, especially in front of these big guys. I'm afraid they can see through me with just a glance.

"You politely rejected the good intentions of the Goddess of Childbirth, saying that you had already won the favor of the Scarlet Corruptor. As long as you can successfully pass the test set by the other party, you can successfully become his disciple."

Last time,
When he was in Shifang Zen Temple, Jiang Xinghuo killed many monks through the curse of the Scarlet Corruptor.

It was also from that time that he triggered a passive task. As long as he killed enough people with the Scarlet Corruptor's curse, he could become the Scarlet Corruptor's disciple.

He had not taken this matter seriously at first, but now it has become an excuse for him to deal with the Goddess of Fertility.

"When the Goddess of Childbirth learned that you had become a follower of the Scarlet Corruptor, she sighed with great regret, but there was no other way."

"The Scarlet Corruptor has the same status as the Queen Mother of Heaven. It would be inappropriate for the Queen Mother of Heaven to take someone's love away. Forcing her to do so would only cause unnecessary conflicts."

"However, the Goddess of Childbirth also left you a message, saying that if you change your mind, or fail the test of the Scarlet Corruptor, you can contact her again, and perhaps you will have a chance to become a disciple of the Goddess of Heaven."

"This time, you did not reject the kindness of the Goddess of Childbirth, but responded in a perfunctory manner."

"The Goddess of Childbirth took another look at Madam Wuyu who was entangled in the red thread, indicating that she had been sealed up by the red thread woven by the incense of marriage. Unless the Six Heavenly Ghosts and Gods whose strength far exceeds hers can untie it, Madam Wuyu can only be sealed up like this forever."

"To be on the safe side, the Goddess of Childbirth also used the dimensional technique to hide the sealed Lady of Five Desires. Even if one has the eyes that can see through the false, it is impossible to find and contact her."

Dimensional magic? ?

When Jiang Xinghuo saw the name of this spell, his heart suddenly moved, because judging from the meaning of the name alone, this seemed to be a space-type spell.

Any magic that has something to do with time or space is undoubtedly a very powerful spell.

Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but feel a little envious, but the following game text dispelled his thoughts.

"The Goddess of Childbirth noticed that you were very interested in dimensional magic, but she cannot teach you this magic."

"This was a gift given to her by the Lord of Dragon Court. This ability was directly implanted into her body. It can only be passed down through blood. There is no way to sort it out and pass it on to others artificially."

"But she once heard from the Lord of the Dragon Court that this dimensional technique was recorded in the Territory Chapter of the Dragon Raising Technique."

"If you can find the inheritance of dragon-raising techniques in the Dragon Court, perhaps you can master this method through practice."

"Dimension magic can banish objects to a parallel dimension, but they cannot come into contact with the original space. Objects and creatures in the real space cannot see or touch each other."

As soon as Jiang Xinghuo saw the content of the text, he immediately searched his memory and actually found relevant information in the Territory chapter. The abilities were exactly the same as described in the game text.

In addition, dimensional magic can also be used on oneself, teleporting oneself to a parallel dimension. This not only makes the body invisible, but also makes one immune to external attacks.

This is different from the Nine Deaths Cicada's ability to become virtual. When facing a powerful master, the Nine Deaths Cicada's ability to become virtual is also likely to be injured by the opponent.

But the dimensional technique places himself and reality in different spaces. Unless it is the same spatial power, it is not easy for other forces to hurt him.

"The Goddess of Childbirth left Wuzangmiao with the babies. She didn't plan to stay in the Dragon Court Ruins any longer. Instead, she planned to leave here and find a safe place to recover from her injuries."

"Her marriage body has been burned. It will take a long time to condense it again. If you want to find her for something, you can go to any temple of the Goddess of Childbirth in the secular world. She will show up to meet you then."

At this point, there was no follow-up to the text related to the Goddess of Childbirth, and the plot of Wu Zangmiao also came to an end.

The reason why this place is called the forbidden area of ​​Buddha Jumping Temple is that the monks and some other monks have become believers of the Goddess of Five Desires.

This also indirectly proves the horror of the Goddess of Five Desires. She was imprisoned and sealed here by the Lord of Dragon Court, and she was able to take advantage of the opportunity to bewitch other people. The methods of these six-day ghosts and gods are really weird.

"Where are you planning to go next?"

"Would you like to continue exploring in Wuzangmiao? Or would you like to leave here and go somewhere else?"

"You chose to stay here and continue exploring."

Jiang Xinghuo controlled the character to walk around the temple again and actually found some rare things here.

"The skeleton of a Kirin boy (rare material). According to legend, there are eight hundred blessed Kirin arts in the secular world. Some of them are transformed into human form, known as Kirin boys. This is one of them. It has the ability to slightly enhance its own vitality."

"Do you want to use the skeleton of the Qilin boy?" "You chose to use the skeleton of the Qilin boy."

"A wave of magical power emanated from the skeleton, transforming into rays of starlight and firefly-like light, gradually seeping into your Nine Dead Cicada Shell."

"Your vitality has been slightly improved, +3."

"Your actions helped the Kirin boy escape from his fate of death. The Kirin Regeneration Technique, one of the Eight Hundred Kirin Techniques, reappeared in the secular world."

"You have obtained the Qilin Regeneration Technique"

"Do you want to learn this Qilin Regeneration Technique immediately?"

"Please note that the Eight Hundred Kirin Technique is the most peaceful technique in the secular world and will not conflict with the inheritance of any other lineage."

Seeing that the game text said so, Jiang Xinghuo naturally had no reason to refuse, and directly clicked on the screen to choose to study.

"You chose to learn the Kirin Regeneration Technique."

"Learning, please wait..."

"You have successfully mastered the Kirin Regeneration Technique."

"The Kirin Regeneration Technique is one of the eight hundred Kirin techniques in the secular world. It has the ability to regenerate severed limbs. As long as the head is not destroyed, even if only a head is left, new limbs can be grown through this spell."

The game text flashes as a prompt.

A clear and long whistle also sounded in Jiang Xinghuo's ears.

A phantom of a water unicorn covered with scales suddenly appeared in the living room, rushing towards him on the waves, and finally merged with Jiang Xinghuo's body and mind.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo continued searching in the Wuzang Temple and found the skeleton of a Qilin boy, as well as some other fragments of corpses of monsters and demons.

"You have obtained the Qilin Incarnation Technique."

"Qilin Incarnation Technique, one of the eight hundred Qilin Techniques in the secular world, possesses the ability to transform into a Qilin. One's own life form can be temporarily transformed into a Qilin's body, perfectly replicating the physical qualities of a Qilin. Duration: 5 minutes."

"Do you want to learn the Qilin Incarnation Technique?"

Jiang Xinghuo still didn't choose to refuse. If he refused, wouldn't he be a big fool! !
"You have successfully mastered the Qilin Incarnation Technique."

Just like when he learned the Qilin Regeneration Technique before, the phantom of a black jade Qilin appeared in the air, stepping on auspicious clouds, and finally sank into Jiang Xinghuo's body.

These two Qilin boys were probably brought by the meat-eating monks as sacrifices to the Lady of Five Desires.

It's just that they didn't know the value of it and only took away the Qilin boy's internal organs and ignored his bones. Otherwise, they would not have obtained these two Qilin techniques.

As for the remaining skeleton fragments of monsters and demons, Jiang Xinghuo used the limb splicing method to devour them all.

"Your limb splicing aspect level has been improved by +3."

His limb-splicing Dharma image is made of rotten limbs and broken arms. If he wants to improve the level and quality of his Dharma image, he naturally needs to devour the corpses of other monsters.

The bones piled up in this internal organ temple just fulfilled his wish. He had actually originally wanted to swallow up the two Taoist temples with white bones in the Yinshan Ancient Building as well.

But he was afraid that he didn't have that much ability and that might cause trouble, so he suppressed this idea and planned to think about the two Taoist temples after he became stronger.

"Where are you going next?"

He had already completed a preliminary exploration of the Buddha Jumping Temple and also took a stroll to the Shaobing Restaurant opposite.

Of course, there are definitely more than just these two on this street.

But the game text only provided him with these two options. Even if he wanted to explore somewhere else, he was powerless and could only choose according to the answer given by the game.

However, Jiang Xinghuo did not rush to the fork in the road on the right. Instead, he threw his mobile phone aside and looked up at the electronic clock on the wall. It was already past six o'clock in the evening.

When he returned to Dragon City from the underworld, it was exactly around noon. As a result, he spent the entire afternoon in the Dragon Court ruins.

He was now extremely grateful for his foresight in choosing to use the Nine-Death Cicada Shell to explore the Dragon Court ruins, otherwise he would have missed these secrets and good things.

Even judging from the current situation, even if the main body enters here, it will not encounter any major problems, and there is no need to worry about being trapped somewhere.

But it's better to be cautious.

Jiang Xinghuo got up from the sofa and went to the kitchen to make himself a sumptuous dinner. After eating and drinking his fill, he returned to the sofa, drank tea and took his cell phone.

"Please choose where you would like to explore next?"

This time, the game only gives one option, which is Shanxianlou and Baijiangpu at the fork in the road on the right.

Apart from this, there is no other answer to choose from. It is obvious that there are only two paths: either go offline and rest, or choose the fork on the right.

Jiang Xinghuo had no way to go anywhere else unless he used the Sunshine to project his consciousness there.

But Jiang Xinghuo didn't want to do that. Some things can be expressed in words. There is no need to pollute his eyes with things that will make him lose his SAN.

"You chose to go to the fork on the right."

"On the way, please wait..."

"You have reached your destination."

"Shanxianlou and Weixianren's Baijiangpu are also across the street. Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar for daily cooking are purchased here. Where do you plan to explore first?"

Jiang Xinghuo took a look and realized that he had to go through the back door to enter Shanxianlou. It was too troublesome to go around, so he explored Baijiangpu first.

"You walked towards the Baijiang Shop, whose door was half-open."

"You push open the shabby door, and a strong aroma of soy sauce hits your nose along with the air. The first thing that catches your eye is a portrait of a Taoist priest, who is none other than Weixianren, the owner of Baijiangpu."

"According to folk legends, when Weixianren was still in her mother's womb, her mother often ate a sour fruit to relieve her morning sickness, so that when Weixianren was born, he had a tongue that could distinguish all kinds of flavors."

“No matter how complicated the seasoning of a dish is, just lick a little with the tip of your tongue and it will be perfectly restored immediately.”

"And he can also explain the types of ingredients used and the deficiencies in seasoning."

"It is precisely because of this unique talent that Wei Xianren was accepted as a disciple by the Great Master of the Immortal Kitchen since he was a child. His innate talent was cultivated and strengthened, making him a unique existence in the world."

"You walked into the Baijiang Shop and started to investigate, and found pickling vessels of different sizes placed everywhere."

"You casually opened the lid of a sauce jar and saw a lot of oil-like paste inside, which exuded a rich and tempting aroma. Even though you were not hungry, the smell aroused your appetite. Do you want to put the sauce jar away?"

Jiang Xinghuo didn't want to collect it at first. He didn't know how many years this thing had been kept, let alone what materials it was made of. He didn't dare to try it.

But then I thought, even though I don’t like this thing, it doesn’t mean that other people don’t like it.

Of the three major gourmet organizations in the secular world, the Imperial Kitchen, the Shangshi Bureau, and the Guanglu Temple, the only one he had not been to was the Guanglu Temple located in Jiangnan.

This thing might come in handy in the Guanglu Temple, and maybe there will be some unexpected gains from it.

"You have obtained the essence of soy sauce paste."

"Exquisite soy sauce paste (common consumable material), the paste extracted by the flavor immortal by mixing and refining hundreds of soy sauces, can maximize the sweet taste of the ingredients, and only a rice-sized amount is needed to transform the dish."

Jiang Xinghuo put away the bottle of soy sauce paste and continued to search the sauce shop.

"Exploring, please wait..."

"You suddenly heard a cry for help coming from the sauce jar behind you. Do you want to go over and take a look?"

Jiang Xinghuo subconsciously thought it was the little fox again, but the other party had already been taken away by Patriarch Hu Xian, so it shouldn't be so unlucky to appear here.

"You walked over and lifted the bamboo hat on the jar of soy sauce, and saw a rotten hand covered with soy sauce stains, pressing a person's head into the jar. You didn't even see what the person looked like, you only saw the thick soy sauce tumbling for a while, and then there was no movement."

Hey, that's interesting.

Jiang Xinghuo recalled that when he was a child, there was a rumor in Binhai. He didn't know whether it was true or not, but it was indeed spread very widely.

It is said that a worker from a soy sauce factory accidentally fell under a soy sauce fermentation vat. As no one found him, he was drowned inside. The barrel of soy sauce was not delayed in being sold out. Later, when the soy sauce was sold out and the worker was cleaning the barrels, he found the pickled body.

I'm not sure how the problem was resolved later, but I only know that the soy sauce factory didn't survive and Huangpu closed down.

However, the Binhai citizens who have tasted that barrel of soy sauce all said that the soy sauce was much more delicious than usual.

Regardless of whether this is true or not in real life, using corpses as ingredients to brew soy sauce in games is definitely not a rare thing!!
