My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 616: Plan to capture the gate god (Part )

"You have discovered the blessing of the Gate God."

"The blessing of the door god (talent status), the innate talent of the door god who guards the house, can form a door dome with rune seals on it, which can isolate all attacks from the outside world and possess extraordinary protective abilities."

"Note that door gods always appear in pairs in the market. The counterpart to the door gods that protect the family is the door gods that protect the house. When two door gods appear at the same time and start to bless and protect, all evil spirits and external attacks will not be able to cause harm to the blessed target."

Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows slightly. It turned out that there were two door gods, and only one of them blessed the River Temple.

"You stand outside the Gate God's Blessing, watching those Calamity believers constantly attacking the protective barrier, and hear them using the captured corpse retrievers to threaten the corpse retrievers in the River God Temple to come out, otherwise they will kill these captured corpse retrievers on the spot."

"What are you going to choose now?"

"The River God Temple is blessed by the Gate God. Unless the Master personally takes action, it is not easy to break this barrier. It will take at least half a month."

"Will you choose to leave here first and explore other places? Or will you rescue those captured corpse-retrievers and get rid of these natural disaster believers to prevent them from attacking the corpse-retrievers again?"

The game gives two options: leave to explore other places, or stay to kill those Scourge believers.

It was not difficult for Jiang Xinghuo to make a choice between these two answers.

If he ignored these corpse retrievers, he would not have been teleported here from the Eight Directions Spiritual Tower.

Now that I'm back,
Then he certainly couldn't pretend that he didn't see it. Since these believers of the natural disaster dared to attack the corpse recovery team, there was no need for him to be a coward.

"You chose to rescue the captured corpse-retrievers, and at the same time, you unfolded the innate ability of the Eight Phases World, covering all the believers of the Calamity. The eight forces of heaven and earth took turns to crush them, and soon killed all the believers of the Calamity."

"Incense +50, incense +70, incense +50, incense +80, incense +100..."

Notifications of incense donation income kept popping up. With the skills and methods he had now, dealing with these ordinary monsters and demons was no problem at all.

But in just a moment,
The believers of natural disasters surrounding the River God Temple were swept away, leaving only a faint power of incense for him to take.

"You killed all the Scourge followers in an easy battle and rescued the captured corpse-lifters."

"But at this moment, a corpse retriever suddenly attacked you and stabbed you in the chest with a dagger in his hand."

"A power that did not belong to it spread from the dagger, taking your life in an instant, and plundering some of the incense from your body."

"You are dead."

"Your incense - 1000."

Ok?
Jiang Xinghuo was slightly stunned, thinking what was going on? Why did he let his own people kill him?
Infernal Affairs? ?

When Jiang Xinghuo was wondering, the subsequent game text was also discussed.

"You were assassinated by Scourge followers."

"This corpse retriever was originally a spy from the Natural Disaster Sect who had infiltrated the corpse retrievers. They wanted to use him as a backup to assassinate the captain of the corpse retriever team."

"Because once the captain of the corpse recovery team dies, the entire corpse recovery team will become leaderless. Then it will be much easier for the Natural Disaster Sect to wipe out the corpse recovery team."

"I never thought that an uninvited guest like you would show up halfway and ruin their plans, and also kill all the believers of the Scourge. They were so angry that they tried to assassinate you."

"Moreover, you discovered that the dagger that the other party used to kill you seemed to have some hidden secrets. It didn't look like an ordinary weapon."

"Do you want to activate the effect of the scapegoat?"

"You have been used, scapegoat."

"You used the scapegoat to escape and evaded the fatal blow of the dagger."

"The Scourge believer saw that his attack was ineffective and turned around to flee. What are you going to do next?"

"Will you let it go and escape from here? Or will you intercept it?"

Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking how could it be so easy? You kill someone and then want to run away. You can't make any excuses anywhere!

"You chose to intercept the opponent."

"You used the dragon-catching hand you learned from Longpi Taibao, and a great suction force emanated from your palm, directly catching the escaping Scourge believer through the air."

"Are you going to kill the other person?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation.

"You have killed, Scourge follower."

"You have obtained, Incense +200."

"Do you want to touch the bodies of the dead Scourge believers?"

"You searched the bodies of the dead Scourge believers and found something."

"You have obtained the Dragon Slaying Dagger (rare)."

"Dragon Slaying Dagger (rare item), a dagger blessed by the High Priest of the Scourge, which can grant the holder three innate abilities: disguise, conceal breath, and assassination."

"Disguise: Can change one's appearance and block the prying eyes of the sky."

"Breath Concealment: It can conceal one's own breath and blend it with the breath of everything around it. Even those with keen senses will find it difficult to detect."

"Assassination: You can temporarily obtain the ability of the High Priest of the Natural Disaster to kill with one strike. No matter where you stab the target in the body, you can easily kill the target and plunder some of the incense power in the target's body."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the description of this dagger in the game text and thought that this was purely a weapon prepared for assassins.

The purpose of its creation is for assassination, and the several attributes that come with it also serve this purpose.

However, what attracted Jiang Xinghuo the most was the 'High Priest of Natural Disasters'. He clicked on the entry that was constantly flashing red light and checked the specific information.

"The chief priest of the Natural Disaster, the most respected subordinate of the Natural Disaster Taoist, is the incarnation of the disaster of assassinating the king and the chief priest of the Natural Disaster Dao. His duty is to guard the main altar of the Natural Disaster Dao and prevent outsiders from other forces from sneaking into this place."

"Attention, all weapons blessed by the High Priest of Natural Disasters have the property of killing with one strike. Any external skills such as horizontal training cannot stop them. And they can plunder the incense in the bodies of other monsters and demons just like the Exile."

Jiang Xinghuo narrowed his eyes slightly. So that was the case. Only the Exile could master the power to plunder the incense in the bodies of other monsters.

In other words, it is an innate talent of human beings.

But this high priest of natural disasters can actually do it. I wonder what the relationship between him and the humans in this world is.

Also, the other party is the incarnation of the disaster of assassinating the king...

This means that this High Priest of Natural Disasters must have very high attainments and means in assassination.

Its strength may not be as good as that of the Taoist Priest, but in terms of difficulty, it is definitely above that of the Taoist Priest.

As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to be a thief, but not a thousand days to prevent a thief.

No matter how capable you are, if you provoke such a top assassin, you will not have a peaceful life for the rest of your life.

You never know when it will come to you.

Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a while and put the dragon-slaying dagger into his magic bag.

He was not going to put this dagger up for sale in the niche shop, but to keep it for his own use, perhaps it would come in handy in the future.

Keep moving forward with the game.

In order to prevent any assassins from hiding, Jiang Xinghuo opened the skill panel and actively triggered the talents of Tathagata Zang and Baiweiyan.

"You used your innate abilities of Tathagatagarbha and Hundred Eyes to gain insight into the inner thoughts and identities of all the corpse-retrievers present. Only after you were sure that there were no culprits from the Natural Disaster Path among them did you feel relieved for the time being."

"At this time, the captain of the corpse recovery team in the River God Temple also came out. Although you helped them resolve the danger brought by the natural disaster, they are unable to confirm your identity now, so they did not remove the blessing of the door god, fearing that this was another conspiracy to deceive them."

Jiang Xinghuo was slightly stunned after reading the text. Why couldn't he be sure of his identity?
But then he realized that he was now equipped with the Compassion Jade, and his appearance was different in the eyes of different people. No wonder the captain of the corpse recovery team could not recognize his identity.

"You have removed it, the Mercy Jade."

"You have returned to your original appearance."

"The captain of the corpse recovery team had no doubts this time. He immediately took out a small and exquisite jade rabbit sculpture from his arms and lifted the blessing state of the door god outside the river temple."

"You walked into the river temple surrounded by people, and in the discussion, you learned the whole story."

"Since you left Daliang City last time, Tianzai Daoren and Jingshi Tathagata have been fighting for the ownership of Daliang City. The two sides have started a war in the city."

"At first, the two sides fought back and forth, but the situation became a stalemate. The unlucky ones were the ordinary citizens. The corpse recovery team took this opportunity to act secretly. While rescuing the citizens, they also spread their reputation and won the recognition and favor of many citizens."

"Your citizen approval rating has increased by 40%."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the percentage behind the recognition and thought that the corpse recovery team acted really quickly. In just a short period of time, the recognition of the citizens in the city increased by 10%.

The task of this city lord trial requires at least 80% recognition from citizens before one can become the city lord of Daliang City, but there is also the possibility of someone taking away one's city lord status.

If you want to become the permanent lord of Daliang City, you must raise the recognition of citizens to over 90%.

Once the progress reaches 90%, no one else can take away this identity unless he actually dies in reality.

Although he is still a long way from this recognition, he believes that as long as he persists, he will be able to achieve it sooner or later.

While Jiang Xinghuo was thinking about these things in his mind, he continued to push the development of the plot.

"But this situation didn't last long. The Natural Disaster Sect and the Pure World Sect started peace talks. It's unknown what agreement the two sides finally reached, but the followers of the Pure World Sect withdrew from Daliang City, leaving only the Natural Disaster Sect as the dominant force."

"However, how can we allow others to sleep beside our bed? Without the threat of the Pure World Sect, the Natural Disaster Sect has set its sights on the corpse-retrieving team of the River God Temple, and wants to eliminate those corpse-retrieving people who dare to oppose them."

"But the corpse-recovering team's members are no pushovers. Not only do they have the blessing of the river god, but the corpse-recovering team itself is also a powerful force throughout the secular world. Although they do not affect each other and are independent, if the Natural Disaster Sect dares to wipe out a corpse-recovering team in a big way, the Natural Disaster Sect's strongholds in other cities may also be attacked by the corpse-recovering team."

"This is not about deep friendship, but mainly about not hitting people in the face. If one corpse recovery team is wiped out and the other corpse recoverers don't react, it will be difficult to gain the respect of other forces."

"It is precisely because of this that the corpse-retrieving team has been in a stalemate with the Natural Disaster Sect until now. Although they are at a disadvantage in the battle and have suffered heavy losses, they have obtained the blessing of the Gate God. Therefore, as long as the corpse-retrieving team enters the River God Temple, those Natural Disaster believers will no longer pose a threat."

"The high-end fighters of the Natural Disaster Sect don't dare to attack casually, for fear of attracting those old monsters among the corpse retrievers."

"Although this team of corpse retrievers looks disorganized, there are many old monsters from ancient times hidden inside, including some masters who once fought alongside Master Huang He. Even the Taoist of Natural Disasters doesn't want to provoke these people casually."

"The captain of the corpse recovery team handed over the jade rabbit sculpture in his hand, saying that he wanted to give it to you for self-defense when you walk in the secular world. Do you want to accept the captain's kindness?"

Jiang Xinghuo didn't think too much about it and directly chose no. Although he was quite interested in this thing, he would not steal something from his own people.

Moreover, the value of this thing left in the River God Temple is far greater than keeping it on oneself.

Put it here for yourself,

It's just the icing on the cake.

But if used in the river temple, it can be a life-saving treasure.

Jiang Xinghuo knew very well that with his current strength, he was unable to resolve the threat of the Natural Disaster Dao.

However, it would not be a problem to kill all the believers of natural disasters in Daliang City. He had several ways to wipe out an entire family.

But he can be killed for a while, not for a lifetime. As long as the Taoist of Natural Disaster is still alive, the ownership of Daliang City will be in his hands.

He could only say that he wanted to make the believers of the Natural Disaster Sect afraid and not to trouble the corpse-retrievers of the River God Temple.

Of course, there is no rush to do this matter, and it is okay to wait for a while. He is very interested in this door god now. Instead of obtaining items blessed by the other party, it is better to make this door god his own.

Wouldn't that be more convenient?

Jiang Xinghuo scrolled forward through the text records.

According to historical records, the door gods' favorite foods are green rice balls with mugwort, rice dumplings with red dates, egg yolks and meat, and rice balls with fermented glutinous rice. Using these three foods as an attraction will give one a chance of luring out the door gods hiding in the dark.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo went to visit the teahouses and shops in Daliang City. Since Daliang City is located in the Jiangnan region of the secular world, these southern specialty foods can be easily bought.

"You have lost the incense - 700."

"You have obtained the Mugwort Green Ball +10."

"You have obtained Red Dates, Egg Yolk and Meat Dumpling +10."

"You have obtained, glutinous rice balls +10."

"You have purchased the food fragrance amplifier..."
