My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 652: Hiring the Inspector of the Patrol Station
Looking at the description of the Dragon King Boat, Jiang Xinghuo immediately became interested. This prop seemed to be stronger than the land dragon boat.

Or,

This prop and the land dragon boat each have their own strengths and unique features.

Land dragon boats can travel along dragon veins.

You can travel thousands of miles overnight.

The advantage of the Dragon King ship is that it can paralyze and destroy all facilities along the route.

These two ships are suitable for deploying troops, transporting food and supplies, and catching the enemy off guard.

The other ship is suitable for expanding territory, charging into battle, and first destroying the obstacles set up by the enemy. The army behind will naturally advance straight in and be invincible.

No wonder General Qinglong has the reputation of being invincible. With just this one Dragon King ship, he can basically sail sideways on the sea.

Coupled with the water dragon soldiers under his command and his own powerful skills, it is not easy to lose the battle.

Moreover, this Dragon King ship was forged with thousand-year-old fish bones. It might come in handy when he goes to Guixu, and it would save him the effort of looking for thousand-year-old fish bones.

However, according to the game text, the Reed Crossing Shoes must be burned into ashes and melted into fish bones to forge a boat before entering Guixu on a foggy night.

I don't know if it will be possible to forge the fish bones into a boat first and then sprinkle the ashes of the straw sandals on it. If not, I will have to find the Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian and ask him to think of a solution.

After all, there are specialties in the art industry.

Jiang Xinghuo put the Dragon King ship into the magic bag and turned to look at the remaining things.

"Seven Seas Veins Map (rare item). When General Qinglong conquered the Seven Seas, he drew all the seas he passed through. Many treasures buried in the deep sea were marked on the map. Although most of them have been excavated, there are still a few scattered treasures buried under the sea."

"When you carry this Seven Seas Vein Basin Map with you, when you encounter unexplored treasures marked on it, the game will automatically pop up corresponding interactions and quest clues."

This is another regional map prop.

Limited to the seven seas of the secular world.

Moreover, it cannot be triggered actively. Only during the exploration process will there be a chance to trigger the map marked above.

This thing is not needed for the time being, so Jiang Xinghuo put it away carefully, planning to take out this prop and use it when he goes to the ocean in the future.

"Thousand-year coral (legendary item). When General Qinglong was conquering the rebellious princes overseas, he obtained two corals from the sea eye. One is "Thousand-year" and the other is "Ten-thousand-year". They have the function of increasing one's lifespan and improving one's health."

"General Qinglong presented two corals to the Lord of the Secular World, but the Lord of the Secular World only accepted the Thousand-Year Coral and gave the Thousand-Year Coral to General Qinglong in recognition of his loyalty and achievements."

"You can plant this Qianqiu coral in a water vein. The water vein will have a small chance of transforming into a sea eye, or even forming a real ocean."

When Jiang Xinghuo saw this thing, he thought it was quite good. He opened the magic bag directly and planted it in the water vein of the cave.

The invisible power fluctuations spread out in an instant, and the ordinary water veins also flashed with a faint green light.

Finally, only a piece of stone slab with a tattoo of flowing rivers and seas remained.

"River and Sea Water Area Tattoo Stone Slab (Special Item). This stone slab was found by General Qinglong in a large tomb at the bottom of the sea. It has almost all the river and sea water areas in the secular world engraved on it, including the Seven Seas, Four Rivers, the Yangtze River, and the Yellow River. As long as you communicate with this stone slab with spiritual power, the river and sea water areas on it will form a tattoo on your body, and different water areas have different abilities."

"All the water dragon soldiers under General Qinglong are endowed with this power, so they are always successful in battle."

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You used your Tathagatagarbha talent to observe this stone tablet, but unfortunately your Tathagatagarbha did not discover anything."

"There are usually two possibilities when this happens. One is that this stone slab is really ordinary and just an ordinary stone slab that contains spirituality. The other possibility is that the person who made this stone slab is comparable to the one who left behind the Tathagatagarbha, or even better."

Jiang Xinghuo personally prefers the second possibility.

The ability of this stone slab is very similar to the dragon-raising technique. The same is true for the Shinto chapter of the dragon-raising technique. As long as the tattoo is branded on the body, one can become a mountain god, land god, river god, or city god without having to rely on one's own practice.

Jiang Xinghuo was thinking about this in his heart, and he had some guesses about the person who left this stone slab, but before he found enough evidence, those were just his random guesses and should not be taken seriously.

At this point, the items found in the palace have been counted, and new game text has popped up on the screen.

"What are your options next?"

"Will you choose to continue exploring here? Or will you choose to leave the palace and return to No. 81 Chaonei Street?"

The game gave two options. Jiang Xinghuo glanced at the time and saw that there were less than two minutes left before his good luck ended. After these two minutes, he would be possessed by the god of misfortune.

Therefore, Jiang Xinghuo directly chose to continue exploring, trying to find some good things before the power of the Hongyun Incense completely dissipated.

"You continue to explore and wander around the palace..."

"You found a secret letter in the wall."

"Do you want to take it out?"

"You took out the secret letter and found that it was actually a secret letter from the deputy commander of the Water Dragon Army to General Qinglong."

"You opened the secret letter and read its contents:"

"The general content of the secret letter is to persuade General Qinglong to raise troops overseas and establish his own army, and not to be ruled by the secular master anymore. As the master of a region, it would be better for him to live under someone else's roof. As long as General Qinglong is willing, the three thousand soldiers of the Water Dragon Camp will be at his disposal and will follow him until death."

"The secret letter also indicated the exact location of the Water Dragon Army camp, as well as the various troubles that would be faced during the uprising."

"You have been informed of the map of the Water Dragon Army camp."

After reading this text description, Jiang Xinghuo thought it was really a piece of cake as he finally found the location of the Water Dragon Army camp.

As for whether General Qinglong had launched a rebellion, he guessed that it was most likely not the case.

If General Qinglong really rebelled, the Lord of the Secular World would not likely let him enjoy his old age in peace.

At this time, the five-minute countdown just ended.

"Your luck has been significantly weakened."

"In the next three days, your luck will drop to the lowest point. No means below the mythical level can reverse your bad luck."

"Do you want to leave the East Sea Palace immediately?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and tentatively chose no.

"You chose to stay in the palace and continue exploring."

"You suddenly felt the palace shaking, as if it was hit by some large creature."

"When you were about to go out to find out what was going on, a huge suction force suddenly came from the sky. You looked up and saw a bloody mouth with sharp teeth like blades..."

"Before you could react, you were swallowed up and died a tragic death."

"You are dead."

"You were swallowed by the dragon whale, the guardian beast of the East Sea Palace."

"The dragon whale is a huge whale with the blood of a true dragon. It is also the mount of General Qinglong. It is ordered to guard here and has the privilege of entering and leaving the palace freely. If it senses someone breaking into the palace without permission, it will immediately swallow the person into its stomach." Jiang Xinghuo was speechless. This death was too quick. He had just said that he was going to be unlucky, and the next thing he knew, he was swallowed by the dragon whale.

He thought about activating the scapegoat and resurrecting him in the palace.

But when I opened the backpack, I saw that the scapegoat was gray and could not be used at all. Only the dog food was lit.

Jiang Xinghuo sighed, thinking that the aftermath of his bad luck had come. He had been thinking about resurrecting in the palace, and then setting up a Lost Shrine so that he could come and explore at any time in the future.

But now there is no way to resurrect in the palace, so this plan naturally fell through.

"You used dog food."

"You were resurrected next to the shrine in Beiping City."

"Your sudden appearance scared the policemen nearby. After a burst of gunfire, you fell in a pool of blood."

"You've been riddled with bullets."

"You are dead."

Jiang Xinghuo: “…”

What the hell is this!
Jiang Xinghuo resurrected on the spot depressed and walked towards the city of Beiping.

It really was like the saying goes, every step is a hurdle, every two steps is a pit. By the time he arrived at Chaoyang Gate, he had died seven times.

Moreover, the ways of death were all bizarre, and those evildoers acted like they were committing fraud. They didn't even have a good excuse. In short, they were out to kill him.

Jiang Xinghuo has learned his lesson this time.

He knew that this unlucky day would last for three days, so he decided not to go anywhere. He bought a Lost Shrine, integrated it into the stone lions of Chaoyang Gate, and then began to lie down and do nothing.

It's just finding fault, as if everyone can do that.

in the next few days.

Jiang Xinghuo’s main feature is to deal with anyone he sees, no matter how many people there are, he will just rush in and it will be over.

This is what he thought, since he couldn't escape death anyway, why not maximize his value and make a lot of money before dying?

It's better than being killed without knowing why and getting no benefit at all.

On the morning of the third day.

Chaoyang Gate disappeared from the secular world again.

However, Jiang Xinghuo glanced at the Lost Shrine he left behind and found that it had not lost its effect.

This means that as long as today is over, he can teleport directly there to continue exploring.

"You killed it, the Devil-faced God."

"You gained incense +399."

"You picked up the mask that fell from the Ghost-Faced God, put it on your face, and came to the gathering place of the Ghost-Faced God in Peking, a mountain temple that had been abandoned for many years."

Jiang Xinghuo gritted his teeth, thinking that he would take care of everything for you guys today.

Throughout the day yesterday, he was killed thirteen times by the Ghost-Faced God. Not only was he used up as a substitute for the straw man, but he also lost several grave cakes.

He couldn't stand this.

In order to take revenge on these ghost-faced gods, Jiang Xinghuo went to the shrine and bought a lot of explosives, preparing to invite them to watch fireworks.

"You have come to the gathering place of the Ghost-Faced God in Peking. What are you going to do next?"

"Would you choose to go in and fight those ghost-faced gods head-on? Or would you choose to bury high explosives around them and send them into the sky silently?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose the latter.

"You buried high explosives around the mountain temple and poured a lot of dragon oil on it to prevent anyone who was lucky enough to survive."

"Boom!"

"With a roar that shook the whole of Peking, the mountain temple and the ghost-faced gods inside were all burned to ashes in the raging fire."

"Incense +100, incense +300, incense +160, incense +230..."

Looking at the continuous incense income notifications, Jiang Xinghuo finally vented the anger in his heart, and the subsequent text popped up.

"Your actions attracted the attention of the police station, and they quickly rushed here and discovered your presence."

Jiang Xinghuo thought he was going to die again and was prepared for death, but he didn't expect that the subsequent plot would not develop as he expected.

"Those police officers were about to pull the trigger and shoot you, a vicious arsonist."

"Then the inspector of the police station came out from the crowd, stopped the actions of his subordinates, and had you safely brought back to the police station and locked up in a secret cell in the prison."

This surprised Jiang Xinghuo. He didn't expect that he didn't die this time. The detective of the police station saved him.

But why did it lock itself in a secret room instead of an ordinary cell?
Jiang Xinghuo instinctively felt that something was going on here, and it was likely that some new mission plot was about to be triggered.

However, the game plot did not advance on its own, but instead fell into an idle state.

Jiang Xinghuo was not in a hurry. If the other party really wanted to find him for something, he would come to him sooner or later.

Wait until night.

About half past eight.

Jiang Xinghuo was watching a short video on his phone when a new text message alert sounded in the game.

"The inspector of the police station opened the door of the secret room and invited you to his office. He said that he wanted to ask you to help with something. As long as you can do this, today's matter will be over, and there will be a generous reward for you."

"You also learned the whole story through communication with the other party."

"There are three inspectors in the Beiping City Police Station, one chief inspector and two regular inspectors. But a few days ago, one of the inspectors was blinded by greed and not only stole the chief inspector's family heirloom, but also killed several policemen and fled to the sewers of Beiping City."

"Beiping's sewage system is intricate and complex, hiding countless evil spirits. It is in a state of non-interference with the outside world, and both sides try their best to maintain this balance."

"This also means that the police station can't arrest people in a big way, so they can only go to look for the inspector in a private capacity."

"But that inspector was no ordinary person. Anyone who entered the sewer would have his neck broken by him and thrown into the sewer."

"So it hopes you can find the inspector. The inspector's life or death is not important. What is important is that the treasure it stole must be found and returned to the chief inspector."

"Do you want to take on this mission?"
