My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 624 Fragmented
Luofeng Mountain: the name of a mountain in mythology and legend.

It is said that this is the place of ghosts ruled by Fengdu Emperor, the ruler of the underworld.

It is also referred to as the place where the underworld is located.

According to ancient records, Fengdu Mountain is located in the northern Guishui area, so the northeast is the root of ghosts and gods and death. The mountain is 2,600 miles high and 300 miles in circumference.

The cave was originally located at the foot of the mountain, with a circumference of fifteen thousand miles.

There are palaces for ghosts and gods above and below. There are six palaces on the mountain and six palaces in the cave. Each palace is a thousand miles in circumference. These are the palaces of the ghosts and gods in the six days.

They are called: Zhou Jueyin Palace, Taisha Liangshi Zong Palace, Mingchen Naifan Wucheng Palace, Tianzhao Zuiqi Palace, Zongling Qifei Palace and Gansi Lianwanlu Palace.

There is also a record of it in Youyang Zazu from the Tang Dynasty. Although the names are slightly different, they are generally the same. It says that all people go there after death, and people should always recite the names of the six heavenly palaces.

This can also be said to be the netherworld of China.

Nowadays, the six realms of reincarnation, eighteen hells, and ten kings of hell that are widely circulated on the earth are basically the theories given after Buddhism was introduced into the Central Plains in order to lure people to become monks and provide for them.

The hells recorded in Taoist scriptures are far more than the Eighteen Hells, and the records in the scriptures of each lineage are also different. It is not a universal statement.

The Six Heavenly Palaces of Luofeng is just one of the theories.

But now it seems that these six heavenly palaces should really exist. Perhaps they are the dojo of Fengdu, or perhaps they are his domain props.

Or it could be a name like research institute, just like the names of laboratories like Ghost Gate, Naihe Bridge, and Yellow Spring Road.

Jiang Xinghuo stood outside Zhou Jueyin Palace, looked at the dusty gate in front of him, walked over and tried to push the door open.

However, the palace gate was extremely heavy. Without any other force, it was simply too heavy to be moved.

Jiang Xinghuo tried it, stopped when he saw no response, and then activated the power of the Hercules totem on his body.

This is the power he obtained from a giant spirit when he was exploring the Iron Tree Hell in the underworld. It can instantly increase his strength by more than ten times.

Jiang Xinghuo once again placed his hands on the palace gate and concentrated all his strength between his palms. The blood in his body surged continuously, forming a vague shadow of a giant spirit god behind him.

Under the blessing and push of this huge force, the palace gate that had been sealed for countless years slowly opened a crack, and a cold wind carrying dust blew in, making Jiang Xinghuo dizzy.

He was afraid that there was some unknown poison in the hall, so he quickly activated the Qilin Regeneration Technique and the Dead Tree Revival Technique to protect all his internal and external vital parts.

Then, Jiang Xinghuo took out a candle from his magic bag and threw it into the dim hall.

The candle rolled several times in the air and stood steadily on the ground. The flame flickered slightly, but did not go out for any other reason.

Jiang Xinghuo then walked in with confidence, but the moment he entered the door, the gate of Zhou Jueyin Palace slammed shut.

At the same time, a figure emerged again from the black vortex not far away. It was the anointed one who had been hiding in the geological team before.

However, this anointed one obviously did not have the strength of Jiang Xinghuo. He spent half a day trying to open the door of the hall but failed. Instead, he attracted a large number of mud plow ghosts to attack.

Soon, his figure was submerged by the tide of mud-plow ghosts.

the other side.

After Jiang Xinghuo entered Zhou Jueyin Heavenly Palace, he used the vision of Tathagata Zang to observe and spy on the surroundings, and the information of this palace immediately appeared in his eyes.

"Zhou Jue Yin Tian Palace (legendary prop), one of the six heavens governed by the great god Fengdu, has the effect and ability of banning all hair. Unless you gain Fengdu's approval or get Fengdu's token, you cannot use any other means in this palace."

"Please note that Fengdu's keepsake contains the things he once used, as well as the skills he left behind."

Jiang Xinghuo then understood what was going on. Although he had not been recognized by Fengdu, he had the weapons used by Fengdu and the black jade mask that Fengdu had worn when he conquered the mortal world.

With these two things in hand, the restrictions in the Zhou Jueyin Palace will naturally have no effect on him.

Jiang Xinghuo opened the magic bag, found the black jade mask and put it on his face. This mask is not only one of the keys to open the cave, but also can resist the impact of mental spells.

And to be on the safe side, Jiang Xinghuo deliberately carried the Demon-Subduing Sword on his back. With these two props on him, the subsequent exploration might be easier.

Only at this time did Jiang Xinghuo have the mind to take a closer look at the palace.

Talismans, candles, alchemy furnaces, incense, sculptures, pottery jars...

These things were piled up in various places in the hall in a messy manner. The overall tone was blue-black, which looked both depressing and weird. There were also many bones scattered everywhere.

And on those broken and scattered bones, there were many broken weapons stuck in them.

Jiang Xinghuo observed with the vision of Tathagata and found that the skeletons came from different races.

Although he has been dead for many years, his bones are still as hard as iron and stone, and when they collide with each other, the sound of clanging is endless.

Jiang Xinghuo was delighted to see the prey, and subconsciously began to use the limb-splicing method, transforming into a black cloud-like mist. Countless broken limbs and arms flew out, swallowing up all the broken bones on the ground.

He could clearly feel the magic power flowing in his body, and his aura and Dharma appearance were constantly increasing.

After all the bones were devoured and fused by the Dharmakāya, Jiang Xinghuo suddenly found that there was an additional memory in his mind.

Ok?
Jiang Xinghuo was stunned at first.

But after he completely digested the memories in his mind, a hint of ecstasy appeared on his face.

His limb-splicing form gained a second innate ability.

The first talent is called "Shangguan Jiecai", which allows you to plunder other people's talents for your own use.

This second talent ability is called "Fragmentation".

To put it simply, one can dismember one's body at will and reassemble it at will. Even if the head is chopped off, as long as the soul is not damaged, the head can be reattached to the neck.

Moreover, this talent can not only be used on oneself, but also on others. Reattaching severed limbs is a piece of cake.

Of course, the greatest power of this talent does not lie in defense or saving lives, but in being able to kill people without leaving any trace. As long as his cultivation is strong enough, he can remove a person's head from his neck with just a finger from a distance without leaving any trace.

"Your limb splicing aspect level has been improved by +5."

"You have initially gained the power of the second Dharma: fragmentation."

Two game text prompts flashed through Jiang Xinghuo's mind.

Then, he guided the power of the Dharma image to his whole body according to the records of the Dharma in his mind, and then gently patted his head with his right hand, and his head instantly separated from his body and flew around in the air. It was a very strange feeling. Not only was there no pain or abnormality on his neck, he could also freely control the movement of his head, and even his perspective became two.

One is a head flying in the air, and the other is a headless body on the ground. While having two perspectives, he can also control the headless body on the ground to move freely, as if he had two heads, and there is no feeling of awkwardness at all.

In addition, there was some other information in his mind.

The Limb Splicing Method has a total of five talents, and he has awakened two of them now. When his level continues to increase to a new level, the third talent will be awakened.

This third talent is also what Jiang Xinghuo longs for the most, and its name is - Three Heads and Eight Arms! !

But it is not clear what specific abilities he has yet, because he still has a long way to go to reach that step.

Jiang Xinghuo suppressed his thoughts and controlled his head to fly around in the air, carefully looking at every corner of the hall from above.

The headless body on the ground was not idle either, observing the interior of Zhou Jueyin Palace from different perspectives.

Suddenly, Jiang Xinghuo discovered that the stone bricks paving the floor of the hall seemed to have a mystery. The faint groove marks vaguely formed a pattern.

If it weren't for the bird's-eye view from above, it would be difficult to notice the tiny traces on the ground with the naked eye.

He immediately opened the small pupil of his right eye, and detailed data information appeared on his retina.

"The Xiyi Formation (a legendary formation) is called Xi because it cannot be heard and Yi because it cannot be seen. It is a formation that can only be detected after it is discovered. If you do not discover this formation subjectively, then you will not be able to detect it even if it is close at hand."

Is there such a formation?

Jiang Xinghuo was surprised, and immediately returned his head to its original position, carefully looking at the formation in front of him.

"Pay attention, this formation needs to be watered with spiritual blood to be activated."

He rubbed the marks on the ground with his fingertips, which needed to be irrigated with spiritual blood to be activated.

Not sure if my blood is okay?
Jiang Xinghuo opened the magic bag, found the Qilin blood that had been accumulated when making the Hongyun Incense, and carefully poured it into the mark on the ground.

The blood containing a faint golden glow flowed rapidly in the groove, as if guided by something, and soon filled the groove on the ground completely.

A huge talisman emitting golden blood light also appeared in the middle of the hall.

Invisible power fluctuations quickly spread throughout the talisman, accompanied by sharp and terrifying roars.

Jiang Xinghuo immediately retreated, and the Dragon King's Taoist soldiers appeared in his hands. The acupoints on his body were shining, and the evil ghosts and gods who were captured were looming.

"Roar!!"

When the power fluctuations dissipated, Jiang Xinghuo discovered that a huge black tripod appeared in the middle of the empty hall.

It looked to be more than ten meters high, with a crack in the middle, and a green light flickering in the middle, like a vertical pupil imprinted on the body of the cauldron.

What surprised him even more was that this giant tripod seemed to have life. Arrow-like purple lightning shot out from the mark on the body of the tripod and covered Jiang Xinghuo.

Jiang Xinghuo was startled and flipped in the air to avoid several thunderbolts. Then he waved the Dragon King's Taoist weapon in his hand to disperse all the lightning that covered him.

However, Jiang Xinghuo discovered that these thunder and lightning were like a continuous tide, and their power was extremely strong and terrifying.

Every time he struck out a bolt of lightning, he had to take a step back. He was almost at the door. If he continued like this, he would eventually be completely submerged by the lightning.

So, he now faces two choices.

Or, while he could still deal with it, he should leave the palace in time to avoid being hurt by the purple-black lightning emitted by the giant tripod.

Or he could find a way to get close to the giant tripod and completely destroy the cracks on the tripod, which might allow him to avoid the damage from the thunder.

While Jiang Xinghuo was resisting the endless lightning, he was quickly thinking about what to do next.

Finally, Jiang Xinghuo decided to take the risk and give it a try.

Since Fengdu hid this huge tripod in the Xiyi formation, it means that this thing must be hiding a secret. It would be a pity to give it up just like that.

Moreover, his Tathagatagarbha could not see the details of this giant tripod at all. This alone was enough to show how precious this thing was.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Xinghuo no longer hesitated, and used the Dragon King's Taoist soldiers as a medium to cast a galaxy force field to disperse all the oncoming lightning. He then used his divine movement skills to quickly rush forward.

At the beginning, he was able to block some of the lightning with the help of the Panic Armor on his body, but the closer he got to the giant tripod, the greater the pressure on his body became, and with his current physical condition, he felt a tingling and weakness.

So, Jiang Xinghuo immediately displayed the Nine Deaths Cicada's innate magical power, and his figure instantly became illusory. Although he could still feel the lightning passing through his body, it was much better than before.

Jiang Xinghuo continuously switched between the three powers of the Zhenshanjia, the Nine Deaths Cicada, and the Galaxy Force Field, and he was getting closer and closer to the giant tripod...

But the lightning released from the cracks in the cauldron became more and more intense. Jiang Xinghuo only felt a sharp pain like tearing in his internal organs. He immediately activated the magical power of Qilin Regeneration Technique, constantly repairing his severely damaged internal organs.

Boom!

A purple-black dragon-shaped lightning came roaring with fangs and claws!

Jiang Xinghuo used all his strength to exert the Galaxy Force Field, transferring most of the power to his sides, but the less than 30% of the remaining power still brought him unbearable damage.

The Qilin Regeneration Technique flashed with dazzling silver light, constantly repairing his severely injured body.

The giant tripod also struck while the iron was hot and condensed another more powerful lightning.

The power is several times stronger than the thunder magic mastered by Jiang Xinghuo. In his current physical condition, he is unable to resist it head-on.

At the juncture,
Jiang Xinghuo activated the door god's blessing without hesitation.

The jade rabbit totem on the back of his palm burst into a dazzling and brilliant light, and turned into a semicircular dome door, like an upside-down bowl, completely covering and obscuring his figure.

Boom! The earth shook instantly!

The entire hall suddenly began to shake violently! !

Jiang Xinghuo also bit off the evil star in his hand and threw it out, but it was submerged in the dazzling lightning in just an instant...
