My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 61: Star Plate

Looking at the alien space in the magic bag, Jiang Xinghuo's heart moved, a blue light flashed across his fingertips, and the Griffin Summoning Card appeared in his hand.

Then, Jiang Xinghuo threw the summoning card, and with a long and clear howl, the griffin soon appeared in the air, spread its wings, and turned into a fiery red stream of light, flying high in the sky.

After a long time, he stopped, still unsatisfied, walked to Jiang Xinghuo, and rubbed his shoulder affectionately.

"You will live here from now on..."

Jiang Xinghuo gently stroked the griffin's sharp beak and activated the [Blessing of Eternal Heaven], turning the surrounding environment into a grassland, which was just right for the griffin to survive.

However, this alien space is not infinite, at least not yet.

Jiang Xinghuo sensed it carefully and found that this space was about the size of two football fields. There were barriers on the edges, which made it impossible to break through by force. The only way to expand the space was to intercept the corresponding materials.

In this way, he will not have to worry about having nothing to do in the future. Even if new maps are not expanded, he can go to other maps through these three folk materials.

Moreover, Jiang Xinghuo discovered that the gate leading to this alien space was not fixed in the wooden house. As the owner of the magic bag, he could change the location of the entrance at will.

For example now...

Jiang Xinghuo waved his hand lightly, and the shadow of a square door suddenly appeared next to him, as if a big door had opened from the air, and the other side of the door was the real world.

After returning to the real world.

Jiang Xinghuo picked up his phone and continued playing the game. A trick bag had already given him a big surprise, and now he couldn't wait to see other things.

"You have obtained the Qiankun Stick."

“Qian Kun Stick (rare equipment), the Taoist Master Shengong fused the Fire Stick and the Muddy Water Stick together, and added the debris of the Skyfire Meteorite, turning the Muddy Water Stick into the Qian Kun Stick. Not only can it manipulate water flow and control aquatic creatures, it can now also manipulate fire, and slightly increase your resistance to fire.”

"You got the bite of the evil star."

"Evil Star Bite (rare equipment), after being forged and upgraded by the Divine Craftsman Taoist, the current Evil Star Bite can not only manipulate vectors and slightly change the gravity of the moon, but also draw the dragon veins and earth energy for its own use, and move freely in the mud."

Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the text and took out the Qiankun Stick first. The color didn't seem to have changed much, it was still pitch black, but the texture was a little different.

The stick seemed to be burnt, with tiny cracks all over it. With a slight wave, flames appeared in the cracks, just like magma hidden underground.

The Star of Evil's Bite doesn't seem to have changed much, but if you look closely at it, you can easily find a dragon shadow swimming on it.

Looking at the Qiankun Stick next to him, then at the Shaxing Bite in his hand, and finally staring at the text information on the screen, Jiang Xinghuo felt that something was wrong.

The Taoist Shengong was too enthusiastic about himself.

Not only did he work hard, he also added materials to it. Is he so kind? ?

Even though they were once of the same race, and even though I gave it the [Remains of Heavenly Craftsmanship], it was still a bit too enthusiastic.

Is it really that I am lucky?

Jiang Xinghuo continued the game with a doubtful attitude, put away the equipment and props, and wanted to leave the museum.

However, just as he was about to control the character to walk out, the game text suddenly changed.

"You were stopped by the Taoist Master Shengong."

"The Taoist Master Shengong said that it has consumed a lot of raw materials to help you improve the quality of your props and equipment. Shouldn't you give some appreciation?"

When Jiang Xinghuo saw the text of the new game pop up, he immediately understood. No wonder it was so generous. It turned out that it was waiting for him here.

However, this is also a very normal thing. People have upgraded the grade of your props, provided materials and put in effort, so you should also give them some compensation.

Anyway, he had nothing else now, but enough incense sticks, so he took out 10000 incense sticks and wanted to give them to the Taoist Shengong.

But who would have thought that the Taoist Shengong refused his incense.

"The Taoist Shengong rejected your kindness." "Because the Shengong clan is different from other races of creatures, it does not need incense to maintain its power. What it needs are various precious and rare forging materials."

"The Taoist Master Shengong took out a star-pulling disk."

"You have obtained the Heavenly Secret Star-pulling Plate."

"Heavenly Secret Star-pulling Plate (Excellent Item), a magical tool developed by Shengong Taoist based on the astrology recorded in the Tiangong Yipian. It can use the power of the Big Dipper to find a specific target."

"The Taoist Master Shengong said that soon, cracks will appear in the barrier of the Exile Land, and many monsters will go to the Exile Land."

"As long as you activate the Star-Guarding Disk in your hand, you can find their whereabouts and locate the location of the space crack in advance."

"Master Shengong wants you to kill as many monsters as possible and collect the materials that fall off their bodies. When the matter is over, you two will split the profits 50-50."

"Are you willing to help the Taoist Master Shengong?"

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo finally came to his senses. It turned out that this was what Taoist Shengong was planning. He wanted him to help collect materials, so he was so enthusiastic.

Jiang Xinghuo did not hesitate and directly accepted the other party's request.

"You have reached a consensus with the Taoist Master Shengong."

“You left the museum.”

"You choose to go to the Baishui River to clean up the mess for the Baishui River God and fulfill his last wish."

"You have reached the Whitewater River."

"What are you going to do next? Are you going to go straight over and find the corpse recovery team and start killing them, or are you going to find another way?"

Looking at the two options, Jiang Xinghuo hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to find another way.

He also didn't know how the Baishui River God decided on this mission. Was it enough to destroy the corpse-recovering team as a whole, or was it necessary to kill all the corpse-recovering people?

So to be on the safe side, it is better to avoid head-on combat as much as possible. In case a few fish slip through the net, you have to find a way to catch them.

"You think that a head-on fight is not a wise move, so you come up with an idea. You go to the nearby river god temple, find the yellow-skinned man disguised as the son of the river god, and tell him that you want to join the corpse recovery team."

“When the pseudo-River God’s heir heard this, he immediately became excited and said that it had been a long time since outsiders joined the corpse recovery team. If you want to join the corpse recovery team, you must obtain the recognition of other corpse recovery workers.”

"You can go to the wedding wine shop to buy some wine, then come back and have a drink with those corpse retrievers. This way you may be able to gain their approval."

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it for a while and realized that this so-called alternative way was probably to poison the wine.

After those corpse lifters drink the poisoned wine, they will be able to complete the Baishui River God quest line without bloodshed.

But where to get the poison?
Jiang Xinghuo went to the shop to take a look and found that among the wide variety of items, there were indeed a few poisons for sale.

According to the description in the game text, those poisons are either too strong to cause alarm, or too weak to cause death.

I do have a suitable poison in my hand, but it is used to deal with the fake Red Embroiderer. If I use it here, I will have no way to deal with it when I return to Coffin Town.

"You're wandering along the riverbank, not knowing what to do."

"You were strolling along the river bank and saw snipe and clams fighting among the water plants. They were deadlocked and you went over to take advantage."

"You were wandering along the river bank, and your foot slipped. You almost fell into the river, and your feet were covered in black mud."

"Three stars shining in the sky bring both fortune and luck."

"You have triggered the Feng Shui situation of [Three Stars], and your fortune has been greatly improved temporarily."

"You saw a familiar face..."
