My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 637 Rakshasa City

"After a battle that was not too exhausting, you easily defeated those Night Fragrances. Only one of the Five Grains Samsara Clan was left. Because he had been blessed by the Lord of the Five Grains Samsara, he was able to barely resist the bewitching power of the White Impermanence."

"However, due to the huge difference in power between the two, this Wu Gu Lun Samsara did not hold out for long. His soul was soon taken away by Bai Wu Chang, leaving only a walking corpse lying there."

"You have killed all the Five Grains Reincarnations."

"You have obtained, Incense +300."

"Do you want to perform corpse-searching on the Gokurinshin Clan and Yakafu?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without thinking too much.

"You chose to grope these bodies."

"In progress, please wait..."

"You have obtained: a Grain Harvest Bag (excellent), a Grain Reincarnation Stick (common), two Night Fragrance Buckets (common), a Night Fragrance Cart (common), a Filth-Repelling Robe (common), and an Aromatherapy Mask (junk)."

"In addition, you found the Divine Machine Furnace that it had stolen from the Divine Machine Bailian Taoist in the courtyard of the Five Grains Reincarnation Clan."

"You have obtained the Divine Machine Furnace (a rare item)."

Jiang Xinghuo took a look at his harvest and began to count them one by one from beginning to end.

"A bag of abundant grains (excellent item) can produce grains and cereals that contain spirituality. If you take it for a long time, it will slightly increase your own magic power."

"Five Grains Samsara Stick (Ordinary Item), the stick used by Yexiangfu to collect night incense. Because it has been in contact with the Five Grains Samsara for a long time, it is contaminated with a lot of filthy air, and its lethality far exceeds the damage that the weapon itself can cause."

Jiang Xinghuo understood it at a glance. This thing should be what is commonly known as a shit stirrer. Anyone with a normal brain would stay away from it. Even if Lu Bu faced an opponent with such a weapon, he would probably flee at the first sign of danger and would not dare to have close contact with the opponent.

"Night Incense Barrel (Ordinary Item), a vessel specially used by the Night Incense Master to hold night incense. Because it has been contaminated by filthy things for many years, the ordinary wooden barrel has also undergone changes. It can not only contaminate some special props and magic tools, but also has a strong restraining ability against some ghosts and monsters."

"Night Fragrance Car (Ordinary Item), a tool used by Night Fragrance Man to push Night Fragrance, has a slight effect of exorcising evil spirits. If incorporated into a vehicle or other mount, it can improve the corresponding quality."

"Be careful, because the Night Fragrance Car's original purpose is quite special. Once it is integrated into other props, although it can improve the quality and level of the corresponding props, the smell it brings can never be completely eliminated."

Jiang Xinghuo shook his head and wanted to pack up these props and sell them together, but then he thought, he still had to go to Peking to find the Lord of the Five Grains Reincarnation, maybe these things could be used by then.

So, after thinking for a moment, Jiang Xinghuo decided to keep these props.

"The dirt-repelling robe (common item), the robe worn by the Five Grains Samsara beings, can prevent them from getting stained by dirty stains when they come into contact with the Five Grains Samsara objects."

"Aromatherapy mask (a scrap item). It was originally a mask worn by night fragrance collectors when they were collecting night fragrance. It could block out the foul smell. However, this mask has been used for too long and has been soaked in the foul smell of grains. It has undergone some chemical reaction with its own fragrance and has completely lost its original function. However, it seems to have some unique differences. Perhaps there is an undiscovered reuse effect."

At this point, all the things found on the Five Grains Reincarnations and Ye Xiangfu have been cleaned up, and there is almost nothing left that can be used.

These things seem to have no occupational restrictions, but in fact they are of limited use to other players. Only those players who specialize in practicing the Way of the Five Grains Cycle can maximize the value of this type of props.

Jiang Xinghuo put all the things away and waited until the mission with the Lord of the Five Grains Reincarnation was completed. If these things were of no use, he would sell them.

Finally, the only thing left was the divine furnace.

"The Divine Machine Furnace (rare item), a magical tool developed by Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian after years of painstaking efforts, can automatically repair the damaged parts of other magical tools and props according to their characteristics, and also has the function of automatic upgrade. As long as a sufficient number of props are repaired, the quality will gradually improve. Therefore, theoretically speaking, this Divine Machine Furnace can improve its quality unlimitedly."

Jiang Xinghuo read the description of the stove and was surprised by its characteristics.

The Shenji Furnace can automatically repair damaged magical instruments, which is already very valuable. It is equivalent to a fully intelligent repair tool.

But what is even rarer is that this item can be automatically upgraded. Since Jiang Xinghuo entered the game, he has not encountered many items that can be automatically upgraded, especially this kind of item with almost no upper limit.

As the game text states, theoretically the Shenji Furnace can be upgraded to the legendary or even mythical level.

Of course, this thing is not something that can be improved just by saying it. It is one thing in theory, but there are probably many troubles in actual practice. It is not possible to improve it to the peak in one go.

Moreover, Jiang Xinghuo had another idea in his mind, that is, whether he could integrate the Yinshan Iron Stone into it?

Since the Taoist Shen Ji Bai Lian promised to give this item to himself, after integrating the Yinshan iron stone into it, will the Shen Ji furnace be transformed into a item that can refine the six-day ghosts and gods?
Jiang Xinghuo felt that there was great potential in this matter. Perhaps if he let the Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian study it, there would really be a chance to integrate the two.

"You have taken back the stolen Divine Machine Furnace. What are you going to do next?"

"Will you choose to run away with the Divine Machine Furnace? Or will you go back and hand the Divine Machine Furnace over to the Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian?"

"You have to know that although the Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian said that he would give you this furnace, only what you hold in your hands is real. What others promise to you is empty talk. The Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian can easily find an excuse to not give you this furnace."

"But now you can hide this stove secretly, and then make up a reasonable excuse to fool the other party. Then the stove will naturally be yours."

The game gave two options, and Jiang Xinghuo chose to return the stove without much hesitation.

Not to mention that the Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian promised to give him this furnace. Even if he broke his promise and was reluctant to give up the furnace, he had already gained enough advantages from him. There was no need for him to do such a wicked thing.

Besides, he would need his help in the future, and if he offended the other party because of this magic furnace, it would be too much of a loss.

"You chose to return the Shenji furnace to the blacksmith shop."

"You left the courtyard and came to the alley outside, where you found a number of night-scented men peeping through the cracks in the door."

“However, when these night-scented men saw you walking out of the yard unharmed, they realized that everyone in that yard had died at your hands.”

"So I quickly drew my head back and closed the doors and windows of my house tightly, fearing that I would offend you and bring myself a fatal disaster."

"But you noticed that there was a blind old man in the corner, hesitating there, as if he had something to say to you, but he didn't dare to come over and talk to you."

"What are you going to do now?"

"Will you choose to walk over and listen to what the blind old man has to say? Or will you choose to pretend that you didn't see him and just leave Yexiang Hutong?" Is this going to trigger another unexpected plot?

When Jiang Xinghuo saw that a task was delivered to his door, he naturally couldn't miss this opportunity. He immediately controlled the character to walk over and see if there were any new tasks he could do.

"You came to this blind old man and asked him if he needed any help?"

"The blind old man in the corner stood up tremblingly and said in a weak voice that he had a son working in Beijing and had not returned for many years. He didn't know what his current situation was."

"It has caught a cold recently and is getting worse day by day. I'm afraid it doesn't have much time left. It hopes you can go to Peking for it and give the letter to the old man working there, so that it can come back as soon as possible. Otherwise, it may never see itself again."

"Do you want to accept the commission from this blind old man?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought it was not a waste of effort, he would have to go to Peking sooner or later anyway, he might as well complete this task while he was at it, and maybe there would be new plots later.

"You have accepted the commission from the blind old man."

"You have received the letter from the blind old man."

"You can go to find the little old man according to the address marked on the letter. After you deliver the letter to the other party, you will naturally receive the reward from the little old man."

Jiang Xinghuo accepted the mission of delivering the letter in Beiping City. When he was about to leave Yexiang Hutong, a new content popped up in the game text.

"The blind old man fumbled out a jade lion seal from his bosom, saying that it was his family heirloom, which could make your identity and the family letter more convincing. As long as the young old man saw your jade lion seal, he would immediately believe your identity and the authenticity of the family letter."

"You have obtained the Jade Lion Seal."

"Jade Lion Seal (common item), a lion seal carved from a piece of fine jade scraps, its symbolic meaning far outweighs its practical significance, there is nothing too special about it."

To be on the safe side, Jiang Xinghuo took a look with Tathagata Zang, but there was no change. It was just an ordinary jade lion seal without any unknown secret.

After putting away all the things, Jiang Xinghuo wandered in the alley for a while. Seeing that no subsequent plot was triggered, he controlled the character back to the blacksmith shop.

"Go back to the blacksmith shop and hand over the Shenji furnace to the Shenji Bailian Taoist."

"Looking at his hard work being recovered, Taoist Shen Ji Bai Lian is very happy. He said that after he has completely perfected the furnace, he will give it to you. You just need to wait for two more days and come to get the furnace after two days."

"Do you want to take out the Yinshan Iron Stone and give it to the Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian?"

Jiang Xinghuo immediately chose yes.

"You took out the Yinshan Iron Stone from your magic bag, gave it to the Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian, and explained your thoughts and wishes."

"After the Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian learned about the characteristics of this stone, he was also very interested in it, but you will have to wait a little longer, about seven days. Are you willing to wait?"

Jiang Xinghuo saw that there was indeed a way, so he was naturally willing to wait. It would only take seven days. If he could get a tool to refine the six-day ghosts and gods, it would be worth it.

He even selected the target for consecrating this furnace. There were so many six-day ghosts and gods sealed in the Three Lives Ghost Temple, and there might be one suitable for this furnace, but the prerequisite was that this furnace could really be forged.

"What are your plans next?"

"Will you go to Beiping City to deliver the letter immediately? Or will you go back to Daliang City? Or will you go to the city where the blacksmith shop is located?"

Three options: Peking, Daliang, and Blacksmith Shop.

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and decided to stay and explore locally. On the one hand, it was to unlock new maps, and on the other hand, he was waiting for the successful development of the Divine Machine by Bailian Taoist, so as to avoid running around all over again when the time comes.

"You walked out of the blacksmith shop and wandered around the street. From the conversations of the people around you, you learned that this was a city called Luosha City, located in the Central Plains of the secular world, adjacent to Longmen."

"You have triggered the storyteller's golden collection of books."

"Keyword identification in progress, please wait..."

"Identification completed."

"Editing the entry for you..."

"Entry editing completed."

"You have obtained the clues to Rakshasa City."

"Rakshasa City is a city in the Central Plains of the secular world. Because it rarely communicates with the outside world, not many people in the secular world know about it. It is located adjacent to the martial arts holy land "Longmen"."

"You found in the storyteller's golden box collection that there is another strange story about Rakshasa City."

"It is said that after the dawn, a large number of strange creatures escaped from the depths of the Forbidden City. Among them was a kind of monster called Rakshasa, which was extremely powerful, bloodthirsty and brutal, and had the ability to fly and hide underground."

"Later, those Rakshasas fled to Longmen, where they launched a frenzied massacre. The Martial Lord was very angry, and not only did he kill all of them, he also dumped their corpses in the wilderness."

"Not long after, someone passed by the burial ground of those Rakshasas and was surprised to find that there was a city there. Although its scale could not be compared with that of Northern Taiwan, it was still a big city in the secular world."

"Besides, there are still many people living in this city, and their food, clothing, housing and transportation are no different from those in the outside world."

"But an elder storyteller happened to pass by this place and accidentally discovered the secret of this city several times."

"He discovered that every night when the moon was full, the people in this city would transform into Rakshasas and engage in extremely cruel and bloody fights in the city. Sometimes, even all the people in the city would die."

"But as soon as the sun rises the next day, the dead will be resurrected again, and they will have no memory of what happened the night before."

"Although the storyteller was amazed, he could not find the reason, so he recorded it in detail in the golden box, hoping that someone who comes after him can solve this mystery one day."
