My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 670: Encountering Radiation Gu Again
Jiang Xinghuo continued to count other things.

"Old Mirage Inner Pill (excellent material), the crystallization of the power in the thousand-year-old mirage of the Huai River. After being integrated into the body, it can camouflage the body shape. The mirage aura can deceive the perception of other people and look more like a normal creature."

"The eyes of the Jade-Eyed Golden-Eyed Toad (excellent material). The eyes of the Jade-Eyed Golden-Eyed Toad, a strange beast from the Huai River, are born with the ability to see through illusions. Wearing them on the body can also remove plagues. They are also excellent materials for refining eye-brightening pills."

"The Medicine King once searched hard for this herb to refine the Void-Breaking Pill, but he never found it. In the end, he had to give up the idea. You can try to find the Medicine King and give him these two eyeballs. Maybe you will have a chance to obtain the pill refined by the Medicine King."

"This elixir is recorded in the 'Thousand Gold Dragon King's Notice' of the Medicine King. It is said that it can see through all the illusions in this world and understand the principles of the mechanisms seen in the shortest time."

"The master of Tiangong Kaiwu once took this kind of elixir, which enabled him to develop a pair of eyes that could see the workings of all things."

When Jiang Xinghuo saw this text description, he immediately activated the Linglou Altar and teleported himself to the Bafang Linglou.

"Please choose where you want to explore next:"

"You chose to go to Yaowang Baicao House."

Jiang Xinghuo controlled the character to find the clone of Medicine King, and the subsequent game text popped up.

"Do you want to give the eyes of the Jade-Eyed Golden-Eyed Toad in your backpack to Lord Medicine King?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without thinking too much. The reason why he came here to find the Medicine King was to hand this thing over to him. He also submitted all the materials he found recently to the Medicine King.

Including the potion formula found in the Western Forensic House, all of them were submitted without reservation.

"When the Medicine King saw what you handed in, he was also somewhat surprised. He didn't expect that you had gained so much recently. Many of the things were rare to him."

"These raw materials are enough to refine a batch of high-quality medicines, but it will take some time. When he refines these things into medicines, he will contact you through the Linglou Altar."

"In addition, you also learned a piece of news from the Medicine King. That is, the sealed room in the Eight Directions Spiritual Tower will be opened again in the next two days. You can leave some puppets or something like that to observe secretly. Once you find that the room is opened, rush over immediately."

When Jiang Xinghuo heard what Medicine King said, he immediately became interested. The dusty house was about to be opened, and he absolutely could not miss this opportunity.

If you miss it, you may never know whether you will have another chance in the future.

Following the instructions of Medicine King, Jiang Xinghuo took out the substitute paper man and peach wood puppet from the magic bag, and clicked inside the Bafang Linglou to use them.

I don’t know if this method will work, but if it does, I will wait until that dusty house is opened and I will be able to get the news first.

After dealing with these things, Jiang Xinghuo also looked at the last thing.

"The skin of a sea beast (rare material). The skin peeled off alive from a sea beast is a great material for forging armor. It improves your defense and your water ability. Wearing it on your body will allow you to walk freely underwater."

"The Sea-Covering Beast was originally the mount of the Huaiyin Water God. In order to create a statue for the Life-Destroying Immortal to worship, the Huaiyin Water God personally peeled off the skin of the Sea-Covering Beast. The Sea-Covering Beast wailed for three days and three nights before it died."

"Someone once advised the Huaiyin Water God not to do this, but the Huaiyin Water God turned a deaf ear to the advice of others. In order to obtain the life-extending method from the Life-Substitute Immortal, he didn't care about anything else."

"The Sea-covering Beast was originally loyal, but was suddenly betrayed. After this disaster, it could not help but feel resentful. Before dying, it bit off a piece of the flesh of the Huaiyin Water God with its last breath. Its soul also wandered in this area of ​​water, refusing to rest in peace."

"Legend has it that many people who have entered this area in search of treasure have discovered traces of the spirit of the sea-covering beast. As long as you don't alert the beast and quietly follow the spirit's movements, you can find some of the treasures left by the Huaiyin Water God."

"However, so far no one has ever been able to hide from the perception of the sea beast's spirit. Anyone who chooses to follow it will eventually be led into a desperate situation and die."

The game text stops abruptly.

Everything has been counted.

Jiang Xinghuo chose to use the usable materials on the spot, and he also gave the others that could not be used directly or required secondary processing to the King of Medicine.

The only thing he had to give was the skin of the sea-covered beast, which he had to give to the Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian. Only he could bring out the value of this thing.

Jiang Xinghuo took out the Divine Machine Order from his magic bag, chose to use this prop, and teleported directly from the Bafang Linglou to the blacksmith shop.

"You have arrived at the blacksmith shop of Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian."

"Go to the blacksmith shop and give all the forging materials you have collected these days and the skin of the sea beast to Taoist Shen Ji Bai Lian."

"The Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian integrated the skin of the sea beast into your Huai Shan Xiang Ling robe."

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

"Your Huaishan Xiangling robe's level has been upgraded, +3."

"As for the remains of the Baiqing River God, Taoist Shen Ji Bai Lian said that he needs to think about it carefully. Once he figures out how to use it, he will tell you through the Shen Ji Order."

There is no follow-up to the game text.

Jiang Xinghuo walked around the blacksmith shop again, and seeing that no subsequent text was triggered, he knew that this plot ended here and he couldn't move forward for the time being.

So, Jiang Xinghuo controlled the character back to the Huaiyin Water Vein.

He has now destroyed the temple where the Life-Substitute Immortal was worshipped, smashed his statue, killed a trace of his consciousness, and released the authority of the Huaiyin Water God that was occupied by him.

According to the game text, after the authority of the Water God was released, the path into the depths of the Huaiyin Water Palace was revealed.

"Do you want to explore deep into the Huaiyin Water Palace?"

Looking at the question in the game text, Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation and controlled the character to go straight into the depths of the water palace.

But to his surprise, the interior of Huaiyin Water Palace was not as good as he imagined. In the next few days, he kept exploring this map, but found very little.

Jiang Xinghuo even used the Qilin Blessing Technique and Good Fortune Incense, but there was still no significant change. He did not encounter any danger, nor did he gain anything.

Just like that, a week passed in confusion. Jiang Xinghuo's patience was almost exhausted. Just when he was thinking about whether he should leave here and explore a new map, the plot finally changed.

"You have discovered a dilapidated underwater village located in the dark waters ahead. Do you want to go inside and take a closer look?"

Underwater village?

Jiang Xinghuo was cheered up, thinking that there was finally a new plot. If he continued to wander aimlessly like this, he would have to find another place to explore.

"You chose to go to that village."

"But when you arrive outside the dilapidated village, you find that the layout and structure of the village look very familiar. It seems that you have seen the same layout in other places."

"You are lost in a long memory..."

"You remembered that you had seen the same layout somewhere before. When you were exploring the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, you unlocked a map called Longhe Village."

"That was a village built by the descendants of the Lord of the World. But since the Dawn Night, the owner of that village has disappeared from the world. You will find that the layout of this underwater village is exactly the same as that of the Treasure Bureau of Longhe Village. It is like a village built from the same blueprint."

Longhe Village?
Jiang Xinghuo immediately thought of the map. He remembered that it was a village built by the Lord of the Secular World, the descendant of the Longhe King, and his queen, the Changjiang Dragon Girl.

The villagers are all descendants of the Longhe King and his wife, and are also known as the Longhe tribe.

There he also obtained the fragments of Lingguanye's Law of Disaster.

However, according to the plot of the game at that time, after the night of dawn, the Longhe King and his wife disappeared from the secular world with all their tribesmen in order to avoid being hunted down by others.

Could it be that they came here after leaving this world?

On the ground they cannot escape the pursuit of evil spirits, but underwater the threat will be greatly reduced.

"What are you going to choose now?"

"Will you choose to enter the village to find out what's going on? Or will you choose to bypass the village and continue to explore deeper into the heart of Huaiyin Water Palace?"

The game gives two options: enter the village or take a detour.

Jiang Xinghuo didn't hesitate much and directly chose to enter the village to explore.

His curiosity has been aroused and he wants to see what is going on.

"You chose to enter the village and explore."

"Since the structure and layout of this village is the same as Longhe Village, you came to the ancestral hall in the village with ease. This is the most important place in the village. Everything that happened can be found here."

"After you entered the ancestral hall, you searched for a while and found a stone tablet. It was the last words left by the Longhe King. It recorded in detail what happened that year."

"You have read the will of the Dragon River King and got a glimpse of the reasons. The Dragon River King said in the will that in order to avoid being hunted down by those traitors, he had no choice but to lead his people to flee to the Huai River. He originally thought that he could rely on the unique environment of the Huai River to block those evil-minded monsters from entering, but he did not expect that he would fall into a trap."

"It turns out that the Huaiyin water vein has long been occupied by the Mountain and River Sacrifice True Lord, and even the Huaiyin Water God has become a believer of the Mountain and River Sacrifice True Lord."

"When King Longhe became aware of it, he found himself imprisoned here."

“And those tribesmen who came with it also became consumables of the Mountain and River Sacrifice Master. They were taken to his laboratory for inhumane research.”

“Although the Dragon River King wanted to stop them, the difference in strength between them was too great. Not only was he unable to save his own descendants, he couldn’t even protect his father-in-law and wife. He was also forcibly captured by the Mountain and River Sacrifice True Lord for experimental research.”

"This is an unbearable humiliation for the Dragon River King. He has decided to perish together with the Mountain River Sacrifice Master. If he succeeds, he will destroy the village. If he fails, he will die with his wife and children."

"King Longhe also left a map on this stone tablet. The location marked on it is exactly where the residence of the Huaiyin Water God is located. It is also the experimental research site of the Mountain and River Sacrifice True Lord."

"And in order to complete his revenge, King Longhe used the dragon-raising technique as a foundation, combined with various royal secret techniques, and supplemented it with the blood and gene chain of the Great Fission Immortal, as well as the Radiation Gu cultivation manual left by the other party, to develop a more powerful Radiation Gu that can imitate nuclear fission and release a large amount of radiation, completely transforming this area of ​​water into a forbidden area for living things."

After seeing this game text, Jiang Xinghuo recalled an old event. When he was exploring the Yellow River Underground Palace, he found the remains of an immortal who could bring people back to life, and a radiation poison was sealed in his body.

Jiang Xinghuo retrieved the relevant text records.

"Radiation Gu, this is a special Gu insect that the Great Fission Immortal developed after he went crazy. It is based on his own Great Fission Law and combines it with the Gu technique spread in Miaojiang. It has strong nuclear radiation pollution."

"If someone gets close to the contaminated area of ​​the Gu worm, at the very least, their skin will ulcerate and they will get sores all over their body. At the worst, their genes will mutate and their life span will be shortened. Wherever the Gu worm passes, it will become a forbidden place for all living things, and people and animals will be exterminated."

Moreover, Jiang Xinghuo still remembered that he had triggered a clue.

The Great Fission Immortal left the method of cultivating the Radiation Gu in the Yinqingyuanque Land, saying that as long as you set foot in the Yinqingyuanque Land, you can obtain the information left by the other party.

Jiang Xinghuo didn't take this matter to heart at first. After all, he hadn't dealt with things on earth yet, and things in heaven were even farther away from him.

Unexpectedly, I found related information in the suicide note left by King Longhe.

Jiang Xinghuo continued to look down.

"But unfortunately, due to the high radiation dose of the radiation poison, King Longhe was contaminated by a large amount of nuclear radiation during his research, causing him to become seriously ill and in danger of dying."

"In order to fulfill his last wish, King Longhe had no choice but to bring the Radiation Gu that had not been fully cultivated to find the True Lord of Mountain and River Sacrifice to fight to the death."

"But before it went to seek revenge, it left a young radiation insect egg in the secret room. In that secret room, there is a breeding ground specially developed by it. Even without anyone controlling it, it can spontaneously and completely cultivate the young radiation insect egg."

"If it fails in its desperate efforts to find Shanhejishi Zhenjun, then it hopes that one day someone will inherit the perfectly cultivated radiation Gu and use it to completely kill Shanhejishi Zhenjun to avenge it and all the tribesmen who died at his hands."

"You read the will of the Dragon River King and learned that there is a secret room for breeding Gu in this village, hidden under the ancestral hall. You opened the mechanism outside and found the entrance to the secret room hidden at the back. Do you want to enter the secret room for breeding Gu?"
