My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 638 Old Man’s Cave

Going back in time?

After Jiang Xinghuo finished reading the description of the game text, these words immediately popped up in his mind.

Could it be that Lord Wu did this on purpose?
But on second thought, it seems unlikely.

Because those Rakshasas were killed by the Martial Lord and their bodies were thrown into the wilderness, it is unlikely that they would leave the props involving the omnipotence of time there.

perhaps,

Are those dead Rakshasas carrying magical instruments of relevant authority?

After all, those Rakshasas escaped from the Forbidden City, so it was normal for them to have some rare things on them. It was not something incomprehensible.

But now these are just his guesses. If he wants to find out the truth of this matter, he can only wait until the full moon night to see if he can get some clues.

The map of Rakshasa City has been opened. In the next few days, Jiang Xinghuo spent most of his time on this map.

However, after exploring for several days, nothing valuable was found.

In other words, the things found did not match the scale of the city. I didn’t know whether it was because I did not trigger relevant interactions, or because the city itself did not have much value.

But it’s also nice to use it to kill time every day, and I can also wait for news from Taoist Shen Ji Bai Lian.

Shake.

Seven days passed.

This day was exactly the time agreed upon by Jiang Xinghuo and Taoist Shen Ji Bai Lian. If nothing unexpected happened, it should have merged the Shen Ji Furnace and Yinshan Iron Stone into one.

Nothing major happened in the game these days, but two things happened in reality.

The first thing was that the Public Opinion Survey Bureau and the Long Yin Association went to war again, and in the end the Long Yin Association was defeated. While the Public Opinion Survey Bureau won a great victory, it also destroyed several strongholds of the Long Yin Association.

I heard from people on the forum that several high-ranking members of the Long Yin Society were also involved.

Jiang Xinghuo didn’t know whether the Hunting King had contributed to this, but he felt that the other party must have revealed some key information.

The Public Opinion Research Bureau took this opportunity to destroy the stronghold of the Long Yin Society.

The second thing was that he obtained another rare item, which was delivered by Li Jun from BJ.

Jiang Xinghuo was still complaining in his heart at the time. He didn't expect Li Jun to be so generous. He actually sent a prop of rare quality by ordinary express.

That was a soul-slaying sword.

Possesses the ability to kill people's three souls and seven spirits.

Every time you kill an opponent's soul, you can randomly obtain an item or ability from the opponent.

Jiang Xinghuo knew it too.

The reason why Li Jun gave me the Soul-Severing Sword was because I handed over the recipe for making grave cakes, so Li Jun gave me the Soul-Severing Sword.

Jiang Xinghuo had no intention of accepting this prop, but in the end he could not persuade Li Jun and had to accept the knife. However, he then gave the other party the recipes of dog food and fertility tea through a trade in the niche shop.

The exchanges can be considered as a token of gratitude to the other party.

"Where are you planning to go today?"

After Jiang Xinghuo logged into the game, the game text immediately popped up and asked him where he was going.

Jiang Xinghuo did not think or hesitate too much and went straight to the blacksmith shop of Taoist Shen Ji Bai Lian.

Anyway, he has almost explored the surface of Rakshasa City in the past few days, and there is nothing else to explore further.

Perhaps I can wait until the full moon night and come back, then I can make some new discoveries, but there is no need to do that now.

"You chose to go to the blacksmith shop of Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian."

"On the way, please wait..."

"You have arrived, the blacksmith shop."

"Push open the door and walk into the blacksmith shop. Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian is consecrating the Shen Ji furnace."

"After seven days and nights of forging, the Taoist master Shen Ji Bai Lian has perfectly integrated the Yinshan Iron Stone and the Shen Ji Furnace. Although the quality has not changed, the ability it possesses has changed."

The game text stops abruptly.

Jiang Xinghuo waited for about half an hour before the subsequent text popped up on the screen.

"The Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian has successfully consecrated the Shen Ji Furnace, and as promised, he has given you this brand new Shen Ji Furnace."

"You have obtained the Divine Machine Furnace."

"Shenji Furnace (rare item), a brand new item forged by Taoist Shenji Bailian using Yinshan iron and stone as raw materials and combining it with his years of hard work. It can not only automatically repair damaged items, but also attack the six heavenly ghosts and gods."

"Be careful, because the Shenji furnace has been fused with Yinshan Iron Stone, it is extremely sensitive to the aura of the Six Heavenly Ghosts and Gods. It can automatically search for the Six Heavenly Ghosts and Gods around it and forcibly suppress them inside the furnace."

After reading the description of the Shenji Furnace, Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but be surprised.

Taoist Shen Ji Bai Lian is indeed a master of forging. He actually combined these two things together to create a magical weapon specifically targeting the six heavenly ghosts and gods.

Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the text and took the Shenji Furnace into reality. It didn't look anything special, just like a tripod furnace covered in verdigris rust.

But as long as you inject magic power into it, you will find flickering flames inside the cauldron.

Moreover, as time goes by, the furnace body will gradually become transparent, and a fire dragon will be tumbling and dancing inside the furnace.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the Divine Machine Furnace in front of him and was very satisfied with it. With this prop in hand, he would not be without a way to deal with those six heavenly ghosts and gods in the future.

"You said goodbye to Taoist Shen Ji Bai Lian and walked out of his blacksmith shop. Where are you going next?"

"Do you choose to continue exploring in Luosha City? Or leave here and go to other places?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought for a while and decided that there was no need to stay in Luosha City for the time being and he could come back to explore it later.

Now he has two options. One is to visit Longmen nearby and explore the Yellow River Ancient Road.

Another option is to go to Peking to find the Lord of the Five Grains Reincarnation and complete the commission from the blind old man.

After thinking it over for a while, Jiang Xinghuo decided to go to Beiping to find the Lord of the Five Grains Reincarnation first to see what the other party wanted to do and maybe get some benefits.

"You chose to leave Luosha City and go to Beiping, the central place of the secular world."

"Please choose your method of travel." The game text gives two options, one is to teleport directly to Beiping through the Linglou Altar, and the other is to travel there by other means.

Both options have their pros and cons.

Rakshasa City is a city that appeared in the secular world after the night of dawn, so there are no shrines left by Fengdu here.

If you want to teleport to other places, you must first go to the Eight Directions Spiritual Tower, and then use the space power of the altar to teleport to the unlocked city.

But if you choose this option, although it will save a lot of time, you will also miss some things.

For example, those mission plots hidden on the road.

But by the same token, if you choose to walk there, although you can trigger the tasks and plots along the way, you will waste a lot of time.

So this choice made Jiang Xinghuo a little unsure for a while.

Finally after some thought.

Jiang Xinghuo decided to walk over, even if it meant wasting some time.

What he lacks the least now is time. If he can encounter unexpected plots or tasks on the road, that would naturally be the best thing. If not, it doesn’t matter.

"You chose to go to Beiping City."

"You used the Warrior Seal to assist your journey."

"We are on the way. It will take about seven hours to reach the destination. Please wait..."

Afterwards, the game entered a semi-idle state.

Jiang Xinghuo put his phone down and started to busy himself with his own things. He hung up the phone while on his way, and handled the business in the store at the same time, without delaying either side.

noon.

After Jiang Xinghuo saw the guests off, he had a simple lunch. Just as he was about to take a nap, a new message suddenly popped up in the game.

"You found the ruins of an old man's cave on your way. Do you want to stop and take a look?"

When Jiang Xinghuo read the content of the game text, he thought that all his efforts were not in vain, as he finally encountered new tasks and plots.

"You chose to go over and take a closer look."

"You came to the strange-looking tomb on the side of the mountain road. You saw that the scale of this tomb was much larger than that of ordinary tombs. Even the tombstone in front of the tomb was unique. It was made of a whole piece of pig iron."

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You have discovered the ruins of Old Man Cave."

"Old Man Cave, also known as Self-Death Cave or Jishi Cave, is used to house old and frail people who are no longer useful to their families. It is commonly found in remote areas of the southwest and northwest of the secular world."

"After the elderly are sent to the cave, their families will choose to send them food for a period of time. However, every time they send food, they will build a few bricks outside the cave. After the cave is completely sealed, they will leave the elderly to fend for themselves inside. This is a folk custom that has been passed down for many years."

"However, you find that this old man's cave in front of you seems to be a little different from ordinary old man's caves. The cave entrance sealed with blue bricks has been knocked down."

"And judging from the bricks scattered on the ground, it seems that someone pushed the cave open from the inside, not someone chiseled it open from the outside to get in."

"What are you going to choose now?"

"Will you choose to enter this abandoned old man's cave to find out what's inside? Or will you pretend that you didn't see this old man's cave and just walk away and ignore it?"

Jiang Xinghuo hesitated for a moment, but decided to enter. Today's scapegoat had not been used yet, and he had enough resurrections to explore this place.

"You chose to explore into the Old Man's Cave."

"You stepped over the broken brick wall outside and walked into the dim cave. With the help of the sunlight outside, you can vaguely see the furnishings inside the cave. It is more appropriate to call it a temple rather than a tomb."

"The incense table, the altar, the lotus, the sutra curtain... all the common things in the temple can be found here. In particular, there is a clay statue standing on the lotus platform. Its entire body is covered with cracks like porcelain, except for the area between its eyebrows that is glittering, as if something is inlaid there."

"You have carefully explored the cave, but have not found anything valuable. There is only something glittering between the brows of the statue, which keeps attracting your attention. Do you want to go forward and see what it is?"

Jiang Xinghuo naturally would not choose to refuse. As soon as the mutual gift option popped up, he directly controlled the character to walk over.

"You walked to the clay statue and picked the glittering object between its eyebrows off the clay. You then discovered that it was actually an eyeball-shaped bead."

"You have obtained the Dragon Vein Eye of Mountains and Rivers."

"Mountain and River Dragon Vein Eye (rare item), one of the twelve Feng Shui instruments that Qing Nang Gong carries with him. It can observe the direction of all the dragon veins and earth energy in the world, and can see the node locations of the dragon veins and earth energy. It can also check the energy of the human body and integrate it into the mud pill between the eyebrows. It can also subtly improve one's spiritual power."

"Do you want to fuse this Mountain and River Dragon Vein Eye?"

One of Qing Nang Gong’s twelve Feng Shui devices?

Could it be that this old man's cave was left behind by Qingnang Gong?
Jiang Xinghuo had some doubts in his heart, but he did not dare to be too careless. He first used Tathagata Garbha to check the prop. After confirming that it did not have any hidden dangers and could be taken out at any time, he chose to use the prop with confidence.

"You have used the Mountain and River Dragon Vein Eye."

"In the process of merging, please wait..."

A text prompt message flashed in the game. In reality, Jiang Xinghuo felt a slight heat between his eyebrows, as if something was growing under his skin and could break free of his skin at any time.

But there was no pain at all.

After about ten minutes, this feeling gradually disappeared, replaced by a cool feeling, and a vertical spot flashing white light appeared between the eyebrows.

This visual sense is no different from the Eyes of the Six Heavenly Gods, but the abilities it possesses are very different.

Within the field of vision of the Dragon Vein Eye of Mountains and Rivers, the tangible objects in reality appear a little hazy, but the illusory dragon vein energy appears unusually clear in the field of vision.

Jiang Xinghuo turned his head and looked out the window, and saw that wisps of air of different colors were rising from every person passing by outside.

Those qi symbolize everyone's fortune, but they are not static and inanimate objects, but can change anytime and anywhere.

Jiang Xinghuo saw it very clearly. For example, when a middle-aged man on the side of the road answered a phone call, the originally gray air turned into red air, symbolizing good luck, at a speed visible to the naked eye.

There was an old man fainted on the road under a building not far away, with black deathly aura constantly coming out of his body.

But a young man ran over and poured half a bottle of heart-saving pills into the old man's mouth. The old man's breath turned from black to gray, and he woke up from his coma.

What surprised Jiang Xinghuo even more was that when he looked down at the ground, he could actually see wisps of gray-white earth energy flowing, all of which took the shape of dragons.

Jiang Xinghuo enjoyed playing for a long time until a new text popped up, and then he closed the Mountain and River Dragon Vein Eye with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

For Feng Shui masters, this kind of magic weapon can be regarded as a divine weapon. Even if it is exchanged for a higher quality item, I believe those Feng Shui masters will not refuse it.
