My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 684 Will I die young in the future?
Jiang Xinghuo agreed to the requests of these martial arts lords' attendants, so he could not leave the martial arts arena anymore. The subsequent game text also revolves around this task.

"To thank you for your help, these martial arts masters' attendants said that you can choose whatever you want from the treasure pavilion. They can also give you all the palm ink drawings in the martial arts training room."

"Of course, the palm ink drawings they can give you are all copies, not the original drawings drawn by the Martial Lord himself. After all, they are the foundation of the Wulin Alliance. If they are all given to you, the disciples of the Wulin Alliance will no longer be able to build new training rooms in the future."

"In addition, these martial arts masters' attendants also found a copy of the structural drawings of the Xiawu Dojo. If you can find the whereabouts of Master Tiangong, or find his favorite disciple, you may have a chance to replicate the Xiawu Dojo in the Land of Exile."

"But you absolutely cannot build a new martial arts arena in the secular world. It's not that they are narrow-minded and don't allow new martial arts traditions to appear, but when the martial arts arena was built, I don't know what method the martial arts master and Tiangong came up with to give the martial arts arena a unique feature in the secular world."

"If you build a martial arts arena somewhere else in the secular world, you will immediately encounter a catastrophe of thunder and fire from heaven and earth, which will destroy the martial arts arena you built, and you may even put your life in danger."

"You have obtained the complete structural drawings of the Xiawu Dojo."

"The Xiawu Dojo is a unique practice building that the Martial Master and Master Tiangong have worked hard on for decades. Inside the dojo are all kinds of mysterious instruments and venues for martial arts practice. Only a small amount of incense is needed to activate the primary training room, so that martial arts practitioners can train here and develop their own hidden secret power and gain enough strength to compete with those powerful monsters in the secular world. At the same time, it can automatically detect the physical fitness and talent of martial arts practitioners and give the most suitable practice suggestions and steps."

"Please note that the training grounds in the Xiawu Dojo are divided into three levels: elementary, middle and high. Except for the elementary training room, other training rooms require a large amount of incense to activate. The highest level training room requires at least 10000 incense points per hour to activate."

Jiang Xinghuo was secretly shocked after seeing this, 10000 incense points per hour, even if he put all his fortune into it, he could only play for less than a week, the amount of incense points required was really terrifying.

Moreover, Jiang Xinghuo discovered that the blueprints of the Xiawu Dojo he obtained this time were completely different from the blueprints he obtained when he first came here.

When he first came to Longmen to explore, he also obtained the structural drawings of the Xiawu Dojo by chance, but the text at that time did not describe it in such detail, nor did it contain so many advanced abilities. It seems that the drawings obtained at that time were either incomplete or someone had kept them secret.

Jiang Xinghuo put all these things into his magic bag. Although he now had the palm-ink drawings of the martial arts arena and various training rooms, he was unable to replicate these things in reality for the time being.

It's like giving you a construction blueprint. You know what materials to use and who to find, but you have no land and no funds. The blueprint in your hand is no different from a waste paper.

The martial arts arena occupies a very large area and requires a large amount of building materials, two things that he cannot handle.

Besides, if you make a big fuss to buy a piece of land in real life, the public opinion polling bureau will come to you and cause trouble.

He now only hopes to find a cave fragment with a large enough space in the future, and then build a martial arts arena within the cave space.

As for the materials needed for construction, you can get them bit by bit slowly. There is no need to gather them all at once.

Anyway, he is not a martial arts practitioner, and has no urgent need for a martial arts dojo. The reason why he wants to replicate this dojo is that he thinks that after the game becomes completely popular in society, he will be able to use the dojo to collect money, just like the current gyms and martial arts halls. It should be very interesting to make a secular version.

Afterwards, the game entered a semi-idle state.

Jiang Xinghuo didn't know when the black general would show up, he just wanted to make sure it didn't clash with the birth of the Zongbu Temple.

There was nothing unusual during the day.

Jiang Xinghuo was still living his ordinary life. He received a call at noon. It was from the Public Opinion Survey Bureau. They said they wanted to ask him to come over for something, but there was no rush and he could go anytime in the next few days.

Jiang Xinghuo himself was not willing to have too much contact with the Public Opinion Survey Bureau, but he could not resist the photo sent over from there. It was a tombstone, and it looked quite old, mottled with weather and frost, and incomplete, but the inscription engraved on it was very clear.

This is the tomb of the late father Jiang Gong, the old man Xinghuo.

Born on May 17th, Yi Hai year, died on April 8th, Geng Wu year.

Jiang Xinghuo narrowed his eyes slightly, opened the perpetual calendar on his phone and flipped forward.

The year of Yi Hai, 1995.

May seventeenth.

This is exactly Jiang Xinghuo’s birthday.

He flipped back the perpetual calendar and saw the year Gengwu, 2050.

Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows. Their date of birth and names were the same. This couldn't be described as a coincidence.

So, I can only live to fifty-five?
And then it will be wiped out on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month? ?

"interesting……"

Jiang Xinghuo's mouth curled up. Normally, this tombstone should appear in thirty years, so why did it appear in the present time and space?

In addition, the inscription engraved on the tombstone is "Gu Xian Kao", which means that this tombstone was not erected by relatives or friends, but by one's own son or daughter.

Is this the tombstone being sent to me by my future children in advance to give me a warning?
"So, my future self has mastered the power of time, and has passed this ability on to my descendants?"

Jiang Xinghuo remembered the Great Disaster God that he had obtained from the ruins of the Beast Taming Immortal. This monster possessed the power of time and space.

If this tombstone is not fake, what is engraved on it is also true.

The only explanation is that he obtained the power of time and passed this power on to his descendants. His descendants then sent this tombstone back to his youth as both a warning and a reminder.

"He died at the age of 55. What a premature death..." The reason why Jiang Xinghuo thought that he was killed by someone.

That's because with his current physical condition, let alone living to 55, even if he lived to 155, he would still be a lively old man who could eat three bowls of rice for every meal, fight tigers in the mountains, capture dragons in the sea, summon thunder with a wave of his hand, and move fire in the earth with a thought.

How could he die at the young age of fifty-five!
Moreover, if he really lived to be fifty-five, his cultivation would definitely be far beyond what it is now. If he couldn't be called a living immortal, he would probably be close to it. How could he be killed by someone?

Besides, there is a life-replacing Gu planted in his heart, and a phoenix wing in his magic bag.

In other words, he can only die truly after being killed three times in a row.

But who can kill him three times in a row?

Could it be that the earth was discovered by those people?

This is the most reasonable explanation Jiang Xinghuo can think of. Only if the Earth, known as the Land of Exile, is exposed to those ancient gods from outer space, or ghosts, gods, and monsters in the mortal world, will he be likely to be killed by them.

Jiang Xinghuo's mind was a little confused. It was impossible for him not to have some thoughts in his mind when he saw the tombstone that was suspected to be his future self.

But there was no point in him being anxious now. The tombstone had already been dug out, and it said on it that he was fifty-five, so he probably wouldn't die. If he rushed to the Public Opinion Bureau right now, he would appear to be too shallow and impatient.

It won't be too late for him to finish the tasks at hand before going to the Public Opinion Research Bureau to discuss this matter.

So, Jiang Xinghuo just replied with one sentence on WeChat: I know, it will be over after I finish this busy period.

Jiang Xinghuo calmed down and continued to work on his own things until the evening, when a new text prompt message suddenly appeared in the game.

"You are communicating with these martial arts masters' attendants in the Xiawu Dojo, and you have obtained some of the essence of the Nine Deaths Cicada from them. You have also taken out your Divine Machine Furnace and explained to them that this magic weapon has the effect of suppressing the six heavenly ghosts and gods."

"Your Nine Dead Cicada level has been increased by +1."

"After these warrior lords' attendants learned about the ability of the Divine Machine Furnace, they immediately became extremely excited. They originally had little confidence in dealing with the Black General who had occupied the body of the Tiger Head Guardian, but now with this Divine Machine Furnace, they saw a chance to defeat the Black General and even separate him from the Tiger Head Guardian's body."

"You only need to release this divine furnace secretly when they fight with General Black, and then lock General Black inside to refine it. Tiger Head Taibao is proficient in all the internal and external training in the secular world, and already has the ability to make his body immortal. You can refine it with confidence. As long as you can awaken Tiger Head Taibao's consciousness and let him take the initiative in the body and suppress General Black's consciousness, he can use his own power to completely expel General Black's consciousness from the body."

"Although General Black has the body of a six-day ghost god, he gave up his own ghost god body in order to take over the body of Tiger Head Protector. So once his consciousness leaves Tiger Head Protector's body, it will be like ice and snow exposed to the sun. It has no resistance at all and can only let you slaughter it."

"But you only have one chance to make a move. If you fail this time, it will definitely alert General Black. It will be difficult for him to make a move again, and you might even miss this opportunity forever."

"These Martial Lord's attendants originally wanted you to control the Martial Arts Magical Weapons left by the Martial Lord, but now it seems that we have to change our strategy. However, you proposed a new idea. Instead of lying in ambush in the dark and easily attracting the attention of General Black, it is better to expose yourself to the enemy and let him lower his vigilance. At the same time, you can drive the lifeless puppets to launch a sneak attack on General Black. This is more secure."

"These martial masters' attendants discussed it and approved your idea. They helped you make a few puppets and ambushed them outside the Xiawu Dojo."

"It looks just like the equipment used for wooden man training. There is no way to detect any abnormality. However, if you look closely, you can see a small black tripod pendant hanging around the neck of the wooden man puppet."

"At the same time, the Black General who had taken over the body of Tiger Head Guardian also descended upon the Xiawu Dojo. The long sword in his hand exuded a chilling chill, and he launched a merciless attack on the Xiawu Dojo. The sword light slowly pressed down like a mountain, as if he was going to destroy the entire Xiawu Dojo."

"But just as the sword was about to fall, a huge black iron shield swelled up in the wind, like the shell on the back of a black tortoise, blocking the sword light from the black general."

"This is one of the 18 martial arts magic weapons left by the Martial Lord. It is called the Black Turtle Shield. It can withstand all attacks. It is as immovable as a mountain and indestructible. It requires the power of the Nine Death Cicada to activate it, but it consumes a lot of energy. Except for the Martial Lord who can activate all 18 martial arts magic weapons at the same time, others can only barely activate one even if they try their best, and the duration is also very short."

"The martial arts magic weapon you wield is called Hualongfeng. It is a painted halberd that the martial master has trained with the body of a dragon. It is sharp and has unparalleled attack. You can only feel the Nine Death Cicada's divine power in your body, like a flood that has broken through a dam, flowing madly into Hualongfeng. The dormant Hualongfeng also began to tremble slightly, and finally let out a shocking dragon roar, suddenly soaring into the sky, and together with the other martial arts magic weapons, it strangled General Hei."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the description in the game text and felt envious of this martial arts magic weapon.

But he also knew that this was the foundation of the martial arts arena. Even if he helped them so much, it would be difficult for him to ask for a martial arts magic weapon.

However, this did not prevent him from using Tathagata to spy on the details of these martial arts weapons. If he found the corresponding materials in the future, he would be able to create a simplified version of the martial arts weapons himself.

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"Martial Arts Magical Weapon: Dragon Blade (Legendary Prop), a magical weapon forged by the Martial Master using the bodies of eighteen dragons..."

"The divine weapon of martial arts, the Black Turtle Shield (legendary item), a defensive weapon forged by the martial master using Kunlun Mountain iron mixed with the shell of a dragon turtle..."

"Martial Arts Magical Weapon - Earth Shaking Hammer (Legendary Item), a giant hammer forged by the Martial Lord using the horn of the Arctic Black Ox, the tail of a crocodile dragon, the bones of a python, and the tendons of an ape king..."

Relying on Tathagata's ability to see through the origin, Jiang Xinghuo saw clearly the martial arts weapons in the hands of the martial lord's attendants.

Without exception, the materials used are the finest materials in the world, which are simply impossible to find with his current abilities.

While he was thinking about it, a new text message popped up.

"The Lord's attendant has reminded you that General Black has been temporarily entangled by them. It's time to release the Divine Furnace. Do you want to activate those puppets immediately, control them to attack the Divine Furnace, and suppress General Black inside the furnace?"
