My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 634 Niangniang Temple

"You chose to go over and help."

"You stopped the Scourge followers who were tainted by the Scarlet Corruption Curse and isolated all the cursed people from this street."

“Those believers of the natural disaster who were not affected immediately lit incense and prayed to their own gods. Soon, a terrifying aura descended on the city lord’s mansion.”

"You saw a familiar figure."

"You have discovered the Son of Calamity, the Plague Locust."

"Plague Locust, one of the thirteen ancient Taoist masters, a disciple of Taoist Tianzai."

"The Taoist of Natural Disasters is one of the thirteen ancient Taoist masters in the secular world. He is in charge of the laws of natural disasters, and his disciples are all the incarnations of various disasters in the secular world."

"The Plague Locusts are the incarnation of the 'Locust Plague' in the secular world. They were born together with their sister 'Year of Famine'. They are the two most valued disciples of the Taoist of Natural Disasters. They are also the most powerful monsters and demons among all the disciples of the Taoist of Natural Disasters."

"After the Plague Locusts arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, they immediately sensed the aura of the Scarlet Corruption Curse and saw the believers who were contaminated by the curse."

"The Plague Locust was well aware of the terrifying and difficult nature of this power, and knew that it would be difficult for anyone in the secular world to remove this curse except the Scarlet Corruptor. So he immediately summoned countless ghost-faced locusts from his body to devour the polluted Scourge believers."

"Then, the plague locusts burned the locusts and the bones scattered on the ground into ashes with the plague fire, and then collected all the ashes into the magic weapon. Without anything to attach to, the scarlet corruption curse naturally dissipated without a trace."

"What are you going to do next?"

"Will you choose to approach and talk to Plague Locust? Or will you leave in time to escape his attention while he doesn't see you?"

The game gives two options.

But before Jiang Xinghuo could make his choice, the interactive options given by the game text suddenly disappeared, and then a new text message popped up.

"The Plague Locust learned about your actions from his followers, and came over to express his gratitude to you, and asked if you are willing to join the Scourge Path?"

"If you are willing to join the Natural Disaster Path, he can make you the administrator of this city."

"If you can perform outstandingly or make great contributions, it can also introduce you to other powerful people in the Natural Disaster Path."

Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows, thinking that it was a bit too enthusiastic to offer such conditions on their first meeting.
But after thinking about it.

Jiang Xinghuo still chose to refuse.

It's good that he is alone now. If he joins the Natural Disaster Sect, he will be out of control in the future.

It doesn't take much to guess that once the player joins a religious sect in the secular world, the subsequent plot will definitely be affected.

It is possible that the plot that will be triggered next will all revolve around this force, so this deal is not very cost-effective.

"You politely declined Plague Locust's invitation and revealed your identity. When Plague Locust learned that you were the leader of the corpse recovery team, the expression on his face suddenly changed."

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo also secretly prepared himself. If Plague Locust really turned against him and attacked him, he estimated that he would not be his opponent and would surely die.

But in this way, he no longer has to have any other thoughts. The next main task is to try every means to clear out the forces of the Natural Disaster Sect from Daliang City.

If the other party does not turn hostile, it means that there is still room for negotiation. Perhaps in the next period of time, the City Lord's Mansion and the corpse recovery team can coexist peacefully.

Jiang Xinghuo was constantly thinking about it in his mind, and the subsequent plot development in the game also appeared on the screen.

"The locust has expressed its kindness to you."

"Although there were some unpleasant experiences between the Natural Disaster Sect and the Corpse Retrieval Team, from today onwards, they have completely put aside their hostility. The Natural Disaster Sect will not take the initiative to cause trouble for the Corpse Retrieval Team, and the Corpse Retrieval Team can also move freely in the city."

"But Plague Locust hopes that the two sides can sign an alliance agreement. In the future, if there are outsiders who want to stir up trouble in the city, both sides will work together to help each other and not let the outsiders take advantage of them without any reason."

"Do you want to sign an alliance agreement with the Plague Locust?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the contents of the text and thought quickly in his mind.

He was really surprised that the Natural Disaster Sect would make concessions so readily, especially since the other party also proposed to sign an alliance contract.

He clicked on the entry that was flashing red and looked up the detailed description and instructions of the covenant.

"Alliance Contract (Special), the power of the contract that the Oath-Owner comprehended based on the power of the End. After both parties sign it, they will become each other's allies. Once someone violates the contract, they will be backlashed and cursed by the power of the End."

"So, do you want to sign an alliance agreement with the Plague Locust?"

The game text asked again.

Jiang Xinghuo pondered in his mind.

There is no big problem with this contract. Even if I regret and betray the covenant in the future, I don’t have to worry about being cursed by the law of the end.

The Golden Law will automatically devour the power of the Law of the End.

"You decided to sign an alliance contract with the Plague Locust."

"The contract states that from the date of signing, the two forces in Daliang City, the Natural Disaster Sect and the Corpse Retrieving Team, will be allies, advancing and retreating together, and will not start a war. Anyone who violates this will be attacked by the law of the end, and will be haunted by the flames of madness and will never be free."

"The contract is made."

At the moment when the text message prompt flashed in the game, Jiang Xinghuo also felt his palms slightly hot in reality. He looked down and saw a golden "契" character appeared between his palm lines, and then disappeared under his skin in a flash.

This is the witness mark of the alliance contract. If either party violates it, they will be punished by the law of the end.

But Jiang Xinghuo did not take this matter to heart. He believed that Tianzai Dao felt the same way. The reason they signed this alliance contract was just to seek temporary stability.

It should be noted that the Pure World Sect and the Natural Disaster Sect had fought and killed each other more than once in order to compete for the ownership of this city.

Although the Pure World Sect has temporarily withdrawn from Daliang City, this does not mean that the situation is solved once and for all. They may counterattack at any time.

In this situation, Tianzai Dao naturally does not want a fire in its backyard.

If the previous corpse recovery team did not pose any threat, the current corpse recovery team is different. No matter which side they lean towards, they will have a huge impact on the other side.

It may even subvert the entire ending.

Moreover, Jiang Xinghuo had already found out that although the Corpse Recovery Team seemed to be in decline in the secular world, it actually hid many bigwigs from ancient times.

All the forces in the secular world are wary of it, and it is precisely because of this that the Natural Disaster Sect does not dare to send out high-end combat forces to forcibly destroy the corpse recovery team.

Therefore, it is normal for the Natural Disaster Sect to sign an alliance with him. This not only avoids a fire in the backyard but also provides an additional helper.

When the situation is completely stabilized in the future, it may be the time for the two sides to engage in a head-on war.

But no matter what, there is nothing to worry about for now, and he can have more time to develop.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo controlled the character to leave the City Lord's Mansion and returned to the River God Temple to continue hanging up.

In the evening, everyone gathered together for a meal.

Jiang Xinghuo also drank a lot of wine.

By the time the show was over, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening and everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Jiang Xinghuo sat on the bed and circulated the magic power in his body to expel the alcohol from his pores. He also summoned a gust of wind to disperse the alcohol smell in the room, then took a shower and changed into clean clothes.

After everything was ready, he returned to bed, took out his mobile phone and logged into the game.

"Where are you planning to go now?"

"There are many unclean things wandering in the dark night of the secular world. If you go out casually, you will easily be targeted by them."

"So what are your plans next?"

"Would you like to stay in the river temple and have a good sleep? Or would you like to go out for a walk in the dark when no one knows about it?"

"Of course, you can also choose to go to the Temple of the Goddess of Childbirth and find the temple priest to find out the identity of the rotten corpse."

The game gives three answers to choose from.

Jiang Xinghuo chose to go directly to the Temple of the Goddess of Childbirth.

He was now very curious about the identity of the rotten corpse and wanted to know whether the other party was a river worker under Mr. Huang He.

"You chose to go to the Temple of the Goddess of Childbirth."

"You pushed the door and walked out of the River Temple."

"The silent night covers the entire city like the sky. When you walk on the street, you feel as if there are many things watching you in the darkness."

"However, they are afraid of your aura and those evil-repelling sachets, so they dare not get too close to you. They can only follow you in the dark, hoping to find an opportunity to attack you."

"Continue on the road..."

"A Yanba tiger seemed unable to resist the alluring scent emanating from you, and flew over from under the eaves with its wings flapping, wanting to suck your blood."

"You were attacked by Yanbahu."

"The evil-repelling sachet you carried worked."

"As soon as this Yanba tiger got close to your body, it was burned to ashes by a wisp of red flame before it could even scream."

"You have killed Yanbahu."

"You gained incense +100."

"After seeing what happened to the Yanba tiger, those evil creatures hiding in the darkness also huddled in the shadows and dared not show up, fearing that they would suffer the same fate as the Yanba tiger."

"Continue on the road..."

"You have arrived at the Temple of the Goddess of Childbirth."

"The Temple of the Goddess of Childbirth is a temple built by the citizens of the city for the Goddess of Childbirth. It is a place for people who want to have children to pray. As long as you worship the Goddess and take a doll, you can get pregnant and have a baby within ten days after returning home. However, after the prayer is answered, you must come back to fulfill your wish, otherwise you will be in danger of miscarriage."

"When you walk into the Temple of the Goddess of Childbirth, you'll see clay dolls running around the temple, shouting non-stop. If a mischievous one falls, its body will immediately break into pieces, but even so, these little guys won't keep quiet."

"However, you found a few dejected dolls in a corner of the Niangniang Temple. They were the naughty ghosts who accidentally fell into the river during the day and were fished out by you."

"The temple keeper said that these little guys were sitting in the corner in autism because they were injured after falling into the water and were laughed at by other dolls."

When Jiang Xinghuo saw the content of the text, he thought that his chance had come, and he immediately opened his magic bag and found what he had bought in the teahouse during the day.

"You took out the Guanyin soil and water that you prepared in advance, as well as the various pigments used for painting hanging robes. Do you want to give them to the temple keeper to repair the doll?"

Jiang Xinghuo immediately chose yes.

After he rescued the tied dolls in the morning, he saw the game text describing that the tied dolls had damage on their bodies, so he went to the niche shop to buy these materials. It was a way to prepare for a rainy day. The price was not expensive anyway, and it would be best if he could use them, but it would not be a pity if he could not use them.

"The temple keeper took the water, Guanyin soil, and paint from your hand, and thanked you for your thoughtfulness. He was going to buy materials to repair the doll tomorrow, but he didn't expect you to think of it before him and bring these things here first."

"The temple keeper used these materials to repair the damage on the dolls. The dejected dolls became lively again and started chasing and playing with their friends."

"At this time, the temple keeper also brought you a cup of medicinal tea. Do you want to drink this cup of medicinal tea?"

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You have discovered the tea that produces many children and grandchildren."

"Tea for Prosperity and Fertility (common consumable item), a medicinal tea developed by the Goddess of Childbirth, which can regulate the yin and yang energy in men and women. After taking it, it can greatly improve the ability to conceive."

Tsk, what a simple and unpretentious name, "Tea for Producing Many Children and Grandchildren". You can tell what the effect of this thing is at first glance.

"Do you want to use Tathagata to decipher the recipe for this medicinal tea?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation. This was a rare good thing and he couldn't miss this opportunity. Although it was very powerful and he couldn't use it himself, he could make it and sell it to others in the future.

"You set out to try to decipher the recipe for making the tea that produces many children and grandchildren."

"Decoding in progress, please wait..."

"Decoding completed."

"You have obtained the recipe for the tea that can produce many children and grandchildren."

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo felt some more information in his mind, which was the detailed formula of the tea for fertility and grandchildren.

The materials needed are also very simple. Only one of the medicinal ingredients is a worldly medicinal ingredient. The other medicinal ingredients can be bought in reality.

"You took the fertility tea."

Jiang Xinghuo controlled the character to drink the medicinal tea, and in reality he felt the energy rising from his kidneys, warming them like burning fire, and his roots were reversing and thriving. It took him a long time to suppress this reaction.

"Hiss... the drug is quite effective?"

Jiang Xinghuo felt a little surprised. He didn't expect that this inconspicuous ordinary medicine could bring such a big reaction to him.

Fortunately, he was the only one in the room and would not be seen or embarrassed by others.

"You talked to the temple keeper, and he said that after he came back during the day, he looked up relevant books and combined them with some of his own experiences, and finally remembered the identity of the body you fished out of the river."

"If he guessed correctly, the body should have come from the Human Skin Alley in Jiangnan City..."
