My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 642 Ancient God
"You have been used, scapegoat."

"You managed to survive in the secret room."

"Current remaining times: 0/6."

Jiang Xinghuo used his last scapegoat and came back to life in the secret room under the study.

All of today's scapegoats have been used up. If you die again, you'll have to use grave cakes to continue the game.

However, this was enough for Jiang Xinghuo. Although he had wasted several opportunities to resurrect, he finally found the imprisoned True Dragon Son.

What he needed to figure out next was whether this real dragon was still alive and why he was trapped here.

According to the previous description in the game text, this true dragon son was trapped here because of the order given by the Lord of the Secular World, which means that it was not something that those who control the Dao did after the Dawn Night.

This matter is very interesting. If the true dragon son angered the lord of the secular world because he violated some taboo, then he should be imprisoned in the clan house. There is no reason for him to be imprisoned here privately.

Unless, the imprisonment of this true dragon son was not announced to the public, and it was just a private action of the Lord of the Secular World, so he entrusted his confidants to handle the matter, and outsiders did not know the mystery.

While Jiang Xinghuo was thinking about it, a new text message popped up in the game, asking him what to choose next.

"What are you going to choose next?"

"Will you choose to leave this secret room and pretend that you have not discovered this place? Or will you put away the prison hanging in the air and wait until you leave here? Or will you open the prison directly here and release the True Dragon Son who is inside and whose life or death is unknown?"

Looking at the three interactive options provided by the game, Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The first option he ruled out was the first one. He had finally managed to sneak in and find this place. If he just left like that, all his previous efforts would have been in vain.

He is now thinking about how to choose between the last two options.

You know, the quality of Tai Sui's magic bag has been upgraded many times, so you can put this prison into the magic bag and then bring it to the real world through the magic bag.

But according to the text, the person imprisoned and suppressed here is a true dragon son, the blood descendant of the Lord of the Secular World.

Although we don't know whether he is dead or alive after all these years, we should always be prepared for the worst. If the real dragon is still alive, it may not be a good thing to bring it into the real world. Even if we hand it over to the Public Opinion Bureau, it may not be able to suppress it.

Moreover, there is a Long Yin Society stirring up trouble in the real world. The master of Long Yin Society is also suspected to be a descendant of the Lord of the Secular World. When these two dragon sons unite, I am afraid that the Long Yin Society will become even more terrifying.

So after some thought, Jiang Xinghuo gave up the idea of ​​putting away the prison. It was not that he had not thought about using the God-Binding Immortal Talisman to restrain this real dragon into his own acupoint.

But now we don’t know the background of this real dragon, so it’s better to be cautious.

"You chose to open the cage directly in the study, but in order to avoid attracting attention from outside, you used the sound-proofing talisman to isolate this place from the outside world. No matter how loud the noise here is, it will not have any impact on the outside world."

"You found the mechanism that controls the chains on all sides, and lowered the cage that was suspended in the air to the ground. You discovered a groove mark on it that perfectly matches the jade lion seal in your hand. Do you want to put the seal on it to open the cage?"

The game gives two choices, yes or no.

Jiang Xinghuo did not hesitate at all and directly controlled the character to put the seal on it.

Since he has already decided to do this, there is no need to continue to worry about it.

"You have used the Jade Lion Seal."

"You put the jade lion seal in your hand on the groove on the surface of the cage, and then you heard a lion's roar, and the airtight cage slowly opened."

"You have discovered the imprisoned body of the True Dragon."

"Zhen Longzi's body was bound with golden iron chains, and various mysterious talismans were pasted on it. Although it looked lifelike, it did not have any breath of life. It was obvious that he had been dead for many years. It was just that he was so powerful when he was alive that his body did not decay. Instead, it still maintained its original appearance, and even his blood did not stop flowing."

"What are you going to choose now?"

"Do you choose to take this True Dragon's body away and use it as material for refining pills or forging tools?"

"Or should we put the body back into the cage and hang it in the air again like before?"

"You have triggered the talent of the Kirin Blessing."

"You discovered that the body of the real dragon, which had lost all vital signs, suddenly had a faint trace of life. Although it was only a fleeting glimpse, you can be sure that it was not an illusion."

Ok?
Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo's heart suddenly moved. Could it be that this real dragon son is not dead yet?
Then you have to think carefully about how to choose.

The bits and pieces on Zhen Longzi's body are clearly the magic tools that seal him.

If you choose to use it as a forging tool or material for refining pills, you must take off the chains and talismans on it.

If the real dragon takes this opportunity to break free from the seal, I will be the one who suffers in the end.

Jiang Xinghuo's mind flashed quickly, and he roughly guessed the plan of this real dragon.

It’s better not to take advantage of this.

"You chose to restore the body of the True Dragon to its original location and seal it back in that prison."

"But before that, you took out the dragon-slaying dagger from your magic bag, stabbed the real dragon's chest hard, and used the jade collection bottle to collect a bottle of blood."

"You have obtained the blood of the true dragon."

"Your actions seem to have angered the True Dragon, and its consciousness is beginning to recover rapidly within your body."

"What choice do you intend to make now? Do you want to seal it back into the prison immediately?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without thinking too much. If he delayed any longer, he would be the one who would suffer in the end. "Immediately take down the jade lion seal on the cage, and close the open cage again. Zhen Longzi's consciousness will also be completely revived at this time."

"Golden flames flickered in its eyes. It stared at you without any emotion and made a promise to you. As long as you help it escape from the cage, it can take you into the kingdom of God and grant you the ability to live forever. No power in the world can completely wipe you out."

"Do you want to agree to the other party's conditions?"

The ability to live forever?
It has to be said that this condition was very attractive, and Jiang Xinghuo was indeed tempted by it, but he quickly adjusted his mindset and rejected the conditions proposed by the other party.

There is no free lunch in this world. If you get something, you are destined to lose something.

If I accept the conditions proposed by the other party, even if I gain the ability to live forever, I will probably become his slave in the future.

For some people this may not be a big deal.

Whether it is a good deal to exchange the ability of immortality for the price of submitting to someone is probably a question that different people have different opinions on.

But in Jiang Xinghuo's heart, he felt that this deal was not worth it. What others can give you can also be taken away from you at any time. It is safer to get it yourself.

"You rejected the real dragon's condition and sealed him into the cage again. Only the roar of unwillingness lingered in the secret room."

"It curses the most vicious curse in the world, cursing you, an exile who is cursed by heaven and despised by the world. It swears that it will not let you have an easy life. It swears that you will pay the price. It swears that you will not die a good death!!"

"You have been cursed by the blood of the ancient gods."

Um? ?

When Jiang Xinghuo saw the last text message that popped up, his eyes suddenly focused. The curse of the ancient god's bloodline?

What do you mean?
Is it not the offspring of the Lord of the World?
How did it become the bloodline of the ancient gods?
"The power of the ancient god's curse begins to flow through your body. You feel a little hazy, as if you are being dragged into the abyss. An unprecedented fear shrouds your heart."

"You have triggered a fragment of the Golden Rule."

"The golden law in your body sensed the threat from the outside world and began to operate spontaneously to fight against the ancient god's curse. It quickly eliminated this power from your body and condensed the power core of the ancient god's curse into shape, so that you will no longer be threatened by the same curse."

"You have obtained the Ancient God's Cursed Specimen (Special)."

"Ancient God's Curse Specimen (Special Item), an item forged with the power of the Ancient God's Curse as the core. It looks like an ordinary pendant. After wearing it, it can increase resistance to curses and also exempt from damage caused by the same curse."

Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the text that was flashing red light and took the pendant into reality.

The shape of the pendant itself is similar to an eyeball, with the mottled lines on it painted as the pupil. Inside the pendant is a deep darkness, like a black hole in the starry sky.

Jiang Xinghuo took a look at it with Tathagata Zang, and the description was the same as the game text, so he hung it around his neck.

But he was not very interested in the pendant. What he was interested in now was the identity of the real dragon!
Is the other party the offspring of the lord of the secular world, or the descendant of the bloodline of the ancient gods in the secular world?

This is a very debatable question.

The answer to this question should be in that exquisite letter. Jiang Xinghuo controlled the character to leave the inspector's mansion and find a safe place outside.

"You took out the bottle of True Dragon's blood and Linglong Letter from your backpack. Do you want to use the blood to unseal the Linglong Letter?"

"You poured the blood in the collection bottle onto the exquisite letter. After a dazzling white light flashed, the exquisite letter quietly shattered, and a secret letter with dragon patterns appeared in front of you. Do you want to read it immediately?"

"You have read this secret letter with dragon pattern, which records a royal secret unknown to the public."

"According to the contents of the secret letter, in the starry sky outside the secular world, there still exists a group of life forms with powerful strength. Those life forms are called ancient gods by the sages and wise men of the secular world."

"Those ancient gods have immortal vitality, but their fertility is terribly low. It may not be possible for a new ancient god to be born in hundreds of thousands of years. They believe that the order of the starry sky does not allow new ancient gods to be born, so they set their sights on the earth of the world, wanting to destroy the life on this planet and take its place as the new master of the world."

"However, there are also powerful beings in the secular world who not only repelled the invasion of the ancient gods, but also restricted them outside the secular world and prevented them from descending."

"Those ancient gods had no choice but to create the six heavenly gods and ghosts, hoping to seize the ownership of the secular world through them."

"But those six heavenly ghosts and gods were also suppressed by Daozu and Buddha and a group of powerful men. The powerful men of the ancient gods can only wait for the right opportunity."

"This situation continued until the Lord of the Secular World ascended the throne. The ambitious Lord of the Secular World used the Golden Law to completely clear out all the six heavenly ghosts and gods in the secular world, and cut off the conspiracy and calculations of the ancient gods."

"The Ancient Gods were unwilling to admit defeat, so they came up with a new plot, which was to strip the power of the Ancient Gods from their descendants, and then descend to the secular world through reincarnation, seize the bloodline of the secular lord, strive to become the new secular lord, and completely open the door for their arrival."

"Although this method was extremely secretive, it was eventually discovered by the Lord of the Secular World. The best solution was to kill the descendant and destroy the spirit of the ancient god within it."

"However, that descendant of the ancient god cast the bloodline curse. Once the Lord of the secular world forcibly wipes it out, the other descendants with the same bloodline will die as well."

"This method makes the Lord of the Secular World hesitate to act rashly. He will not sacrifice his other innocent offspring just to get rid of this ancient god who took over his offspring."

"In the end, the Lord of the Secular World had no choice but to imprison him. He also called in Master Zhenwu and Master Doumu, set up many seals here, and asked his trusted followers to suppress and guard him."

“In addition, because this True Dragon Son is the direct descendant of the Lord of the Secular World and possesses the pure blessing of the Golden Law, even though he was possessed by the blood of the Ancient God, his soul was not completely devoured and is still fighting against the blood of the Ancient God.”

"The Lord of the Secular World imprisoned him here, on the one hand to prevent the ancient god bloodline from causing trouble, but more importantly, he wanted his offspring to devour the ancient god bloodline's soul."

“But until the day when the Lord of the Secular World fell in the Forbidden City, the True Dragon Son was not able to devour the blood of the Ancient God. Instead, he was suppressed by the blood of the Ancient God and could not recover.”

"Your arrival briefly awakened the bloodline of the ancient god, but you were not tempted by the conditions it proposed, so it was sealed up again."

"If you free it from the seal, then after it contacts those ancient gods, it may be able to completely devour the True Dragon's soul..."
