My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 621 Entering the Mountain
the next morning.

Two other people also rushed to the Poll Bureau compound.

One is a local of the mountain city. Her real profession is a doctor. Her code name is Gu Fairy. She is a charming woman in her thirties.

The other person is from BJ, codenamed Big Belly Ghost. He is a middle-aged man who looks very thin, but he has an iron-blooded aura. He should be a professional soldier, and the kind who has actually seen blood.

At this point, all five people who were exploring the ruins were in place.

Jiang Xinghuo secretly looked at his companions and saw through Tathagata Zang their backgrounds.

Each of them is not someone to be trifled with individually. Without using the evil spirits and ghosts in the acupoints, he dare not say that he can do anything to these people.

In the room, several people were sitting around the table, eating breakfast and discussing specific matters.

Luo Huan: "I won't say any more polite words. Everyone knows the specific mission actions. If you need anything, please feel free to ask. As long as it is within my ability, I will try my best to meet your requirements."

The pharmacist took a sip of soy milk from the large porcelain bowl, then stuffed noodles into his mouth while asking:
"When are we going to act? Don't let those bastards from Long Yin Society get the upper hand. Those bastards are very cunning. Last time, when they failed to win me over, they sent experts to surround and kill me. I almost fell into their hands."

Luo Huan glanced at the time and said:

"The time of action is set at 2pm, because there are many restrictions outside the ruins, and the entrance has also been blocked by special means."

"So you can only wait until the time when the heavens are in chaos. At that time, all the seals inside and outside the ruins will temporarily lose their effect, which is also your best chance to enter."

"Tianji chaos?"

The Gu Immortal spoke thoughtfully: "Are you referring to the total solar eclipse this afternoon?"

"Correct."

Luo Huan nodded and said:

"In ancient times, once the scene of the heavenly dog ​​swallowing the sun occurred, the heavenly secrets would immediately become chaotic, and all deduction methods would lose their effectiveness, and the sealing prohibition was no exception."

"This total solar eclipse will last approximately 4 minutes and 28 seconds. You need to break through the Dragon's Shadow Society's interception and those seals and restrictions within this time and enter the real ruins."

At this time, Jiang Xinghuo suddenly asked: "Team Leader Luo, do you know who left this relic?"

Luo Huan nodded slightly and said:
"There are some speculations at the moment, but they cannot be confirmed for the time being. Based on the geographical location of the ruins and the means of sealing and prohibition, the Archaeological Bureau believes that this may be a relic left behind by the great god Fengdu in the secular world."

"Some scholars have discovered that in the ancient times of the Earth, the secular world and the Earth did not completely cut off contact. Many powerful people in the secular world have come to the Earth and left their traces on the Earth. This is the origin of the myths that are circulating today."

"But whether it is the remains left by Fengdu or not, you can only go and explore it yourself."

Jiang Xinghuo nodded and said nothing more.

Since Luo Huan has said this, he can basically be sure that this relic is the paradise left by Fengdu on Earth.

"Then why don't we set off now?"

The Tianguan suddenly spoke.

Luo Huan shook his head and said, "The restriction outside the ruins is too strong. The entire mountain is covered by the restriction. Even if we go there now, we can't enter the mountain. Instead, we will be injured by the restriction outside. Only ordinary people can remain unaffected."

"You will have a chance to go in only after noon, when the heavenly secrets gradually fall into chaos and the restrictions are weakened."

Everyone then understood the truth and no longer insisted on the present and the past.

Time flies.

After lunch.

Jiang Xinghuo and his group set off on their journey. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they did not ask Luo Huan to take them there by car.

Although they inevitably encountered people from Long Yin Society when they finally arrived outside the ruins, they were just civilian researchers now.

"I have a speed-defying armored horse here. Just tie it to your calf and it will help you on your journey."

The Tianguan took out several Jiama talismans from his storage bag and distributed them to everyone present.

Jiang Xinghuo took the armor horse and took a look at it. In addition to Taoist talismans and spells painted on it, there was also a galloping horse depicted in cinnabar, but the symbol below read "three thousand miles".

"Three thousand miles away?"

The big-bellied ghost frowned slightly, looked at the Heavenly Official, and asked, "This will cost you too much energy."

"It's okay. It's better to go early than late."

The Heavenly Official shook his head, motioned for everyone to put on their armor and horses, then he made hand gestures and chanted a spell, shouting, "Imperial Order!"

Jiang Xinghuo suddenly felt wind under his feet and his whole body became light. When he was on his way again, he felt like he was flying.

As the saying goes, a horse will die if it runs too far up the mountain.

The mountain seems not far away, but that is the straight-line distance. If you walk normally, it will take at least two hours to get there.

But now with the help of the fast armored horses, in less than five minutes, a group of five people appeared at the foot of the mountain.

After stabilizing your body,
Jiang Xinghuo found that Tianguan's face was a little pale, so he took out a grave cake from his magic bag. It emitted a faint white light and enveloped Tianguan's body. The magic power he had consumed gradually recovered.

"Thank you."

The celestial official thanked him with a look of gratitude on his face.

On the contrary, the big-bellied ghost next to him showed a hint of surprise on his face when he saw the grave cake in Jiang Xinghuo's hand.

Jiang Xinghuo also learned the secret of the magical horse from the pharmacist.

The spell of the Divine Horse Armor itself is not that profound, but the key point is that it is a spell with controllable variables.

To put it simply, the power can change according to people's wishes.

An ordinary magical horse can only travel a distance of three hundred or five hundred li, but one with advanced skills can reach a range of eight hundred or even one thousand li.

Dai Zong in Water Margin had this ability, which is also the origin of his nickname "The Speedy Walker".

However, the larger the taboo word under the Divine Horse, the more mana the user consumes.

Especially the magical armor and horses of the five of them, all of which required the mana provided by the Heavenly Official to maintain them, and the consumption was unimaginable.

After arriving at the foot of the mountain, the group began to prepare to go up the mountain. Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the mountain, they felt a huge force crushing down from all directions like a tide.

The pharmacist looked suspicious: "Restrictions in the mountains?"

"It should be right."

The big-bellied ghost closed his eyes and sensed it carefully, then nodded and said:
"This force has a strong suppressive effect on people like us. This is because the restrictions have been weakened due to the gradual chaos of the heavenly secrets. If we came here on a normal day, I'm afraid the pressure we would bear would be several times stronger than it is now."

While listening to the big-bellied ghost's words, Jiang Xinghuo distracted himself and turned sideways to activate the Kitchen God's gift of spiritual ears, listening to the sources of sound from all directions.

After a while,
He heard footsteps coming down the mountain.

"somebody is coming!"

Jiang Xinghuo made a gesture to keep quiet.

When the others heard this, they immediately took precautions.

Because the area within a ten-mile radius of this mountain has been under martial law by the police and the military, it is impossible for ordinary people to break in. Only those with special skills can avoid the martial law of the military and the police and sneak into this restricted area quietly.

as predicted,

One minute later.

Several figures dressed as monks appeared in front of everyone.

There were monks, Taoists, and even two foreign Taoists with blond hair and blue eyes, carrying two black crosses that were more than one meter long.

"Stop! Anyone who trespasses will die!"

The leading Taoist priest spoke coldly.

"Pretentious!"

The pharmacist came out, gnashing his teeth, and said:
"Little bastard, I remember you. You were one of the people who surrounded and killed me last time, but I let you escape last time. You won't be so lucky this time."

"It's you!"

The Taoist's expression changed slightly.

There was a hint of fear in his expression.

But he touched the lightning-struck peach wood sword behind him, and the fear quickly disappeared without a trace. Instead, he sneered and said:

"You are such an ungrateful person. I was lucky enough to let you escape last time, but you have no chance of survival this time."

Well, Jiang Xinghuo finally understood that this was a meeting of old enemies, and neither of them would give in. If one of them didn't die, this matter would probably not be over.

Besides, if these obstacles are not resolved, there is no way to enter the mountains.

"It's getting late, everyone hurry up and don't waste time."

The big-bellied ghost took a look at his watch, took out a ghost-head fork, and rushed towards the opposite side.

Jiang Xinghuo was quite interested in the two foreign Taoist priests. He hooked his finger and said, "You two can come together."

"Shit!"

The two foreign Taoist priests looked at Jiang Xinghuo's actions, cursed angrily, and rushed towards him waving the cross in their hands.

The Heavenly Official and the Gu Immortal also surrounded the remaining few people and divided the battlefield at the foot of the mountain.

“God said let there be light!”

The two missionaries chanted in ancient Latin, but Jiang Xinghuo could instantly understand the meaning of their chanting.

This is all the result of the Longtan Inkstone, which allows him to learn without a teacher and comprehend the language and culture of various civilizations.

As the sounds of the incantations chanted by the two foreign Taoist priests disappeared, two pure white holy lights flew towards Jiang Xinghuo under the guidance of the cross.

Jiang Xinghuo had no intention of retreating. He slightly waved his hands in front of him, and the faint galaxy force field distorted the space in front of him, and then the two holy lights that were about to fly over were all bounced back.

"Fuck!"

The two foreign Taoists screamed in fear and immediately dodged to the side. Then they looked back at the place where they had just stood and saw a big hole blasted out by the holy light.

Jiang Xinghuo's strange method really surprised the two foreign Taoists. They couldn't understand why their attacks were bounced back.

Afterwards, the two launched several tentative long-range attacks, but they were all bounced back by Jiang Xinghuo's galactic force field.

At this time they also reacted and realized that they could no longer use magic to attack Jiang Xinghuo, and they had to resort to close combat.

The next moment, the crosses in the hands of the two foreign Taoists shattered with a loud bang, and the fragments were quickly reassembled under the cover of dazzling flames, turning into a European medieval knight's lance.

Then,

The two foreign Taoists were as fast as lightning, without any sense of clumsiness or sluggishness. They held up the knight's spears in their hands and rushed towards Jiang Xinghuo with scorching and dazzling flames.

Jiang Xinghuo narrowed his eyes slightly, and his Tathagata was triggered, allowing him to see through the details of the two foreign Taoists.

But what surprised Jiang Xinghuo was that the inherited relics of the two foreign Taoists were exactly the same, and not the unique ones as he thought.

"Missionaries (excellent relics) are religious relics born in the secular West. Unlike other inherited relics, they have multiple existences. However, only by gaining the approval of the archbishop can one become a missionary and possess some of the abilities granted by the archbishop."

Jiang Xinghuo's mind was working rapidly. The missionary's inherited relics were somewhat similar to the followers in Western legends. Just like anyone bitten by a vampire would become the vampire's follower and obey his orders.

If we use our own folk culture to describe it, it is somewhat similar to a creature like a ghost.

While Jiang Xinghuo was thinking about it, the two foreign Taoists had already come close. The scorching flames were so blinding that it was difficult to look directly at them.

The two foreign Taoists also smiled, as if they saw the body of the sinner in front of them about to be pierced by a spear, and the dirty blood being melted by the burning holy light.

But the next moment, the smiles on their faces froze.

The knights' spears in their hands seemed to have pierced Jiang Xinghuo's chest, but they did not feel as if they had pierced flesh and blood at all.

Instead, the knight's lance in his hand began to gradually become shorter, as if it had been eaten by something.

wrong!

It doesn’t seem like it!

It was eaten!

They saw a strange-looking little dragon man who was devouring the spears in their hands with relish. His speed was so fast that in just a few seconds, only the shaft and a small half of the three-meter-long knight's spear were left in his hand, and the rest was eaten by the little dragon man.

"What the hell is this?!"

A foreign Taoist priest couldn't help but exclaimed in Chinese.

Jiang Xinghuo let the little bone-changing dragon out with a smile. It was not easy to get a chance to eat some meat, and he absolutely couldn't miss it.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the two foreign Taoists turned around and tried to escape, but Jiang Xinghuo took out Uncle Tianlu's immobilizing mirror and shone it at the two of them from a distance, and the two figures were instantly frozen there.

The little dragon man crawled over, grabbed the remaining half knight's spear on the ground, and swallowed it all with a grunt as if eating chocolate, and then set his eyes on the real bodies of the two unlucky guys.

Open your mouth.

It directly swallowed the two foreign Taoist priests into its stomach.

After a while, he vomited out two iron rings from his stomach. They were the storage rings of the two foreign Taoists.

"So nice."

Jiang Xinghuo touched the little dragon's head and put the little bone dragon back into the acupoint.

He didn't have to put in much effort in this battle. He just tested the galaxy force field. The rest of the work was left to the little bone dragon. While satisfying its appetite, he also eliminated the enemy completely.

Clean in the truest sense.

Apart from the two iron rings and the big hole on the ground, there were basically no traces left.
