My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 69 Undertaker

Jiang Xinghuo didn't expect that this ferryman's event line actually had spell rewards. This is a good way to improve your strength at the moment.

There are five options for rewards, let him choose two.

Jiang Xinghuo looked carefully and found that each of the five spells had its own strengths. Some were auxiliary functions, some were natural blessings, some were summoning seals, and some could comprehensively improve one's attributes.

Jiang Xinghuo selected two of them, which are currently useful and have good development prospects in the future.

"You have chosen the five desires."

"You have obtained the Buddha statue of the Five Thoughts Venerable."

"You have chosen the Soul-Taking Spell."

"You have obtained the mourning hall of the Immortal King of Sorrow."

Jiang Xinghuo chose the Five Desires and the Soul-Gathering Spell.

This was a decision he made after careful consideration. Among the five options, the Qilin Technique was a method of blessing and had no effect on improving his strength.

The Yama Mantra is a sealing technique that can seal the ghosts and gods of the folk world into one's own body and use them for one's own benefit. It was originally the best choice, but there is a danger of backlash.

The remaining three options each have their own strengths. It is not difficult for Jiang Xinghuo to make a decision based on his own conditions and relevant text descriptions.

Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the text, a ray of light flashed, and a crystal clear, lifelike little Buddha statue appeared in his hand.

Gently clasp your hands together.

The small Buddha statue was instantly crushed in the palm of his hand.

The information was quickly fed back into the game.

"You have used the Buddha statue of the Five Thoughts Venerable."

"You have learned the five desires."

The moment the text flashed and popped up, a lot of memories flooded in, and various methods of mobilizing emotions appeared clearly in my mind.

According to the description in the game text, the technique of Five Desires can amplify or cut off the desires in other people's hearts.

Then, when you encounter an enemy in the future, you can cut off the desire in the opponent's heart and prevent him from exerting his full strength.

"You have used the mourning hall of the Sorrowful King Immortal."

"You have learned the soul-calling spell."

"The mourning hall of the Sorrowful King (rare material). This is an ancient tomb with a long history and mysterious origins. There are two unknown tablets of the Sorrowful King in the mourning hall. It seems that they are enshrining some ancient existence. You can borrow their power, but you must sacrifice a large amount of blood."

"Your Five Grains and a Good Harvest Formation can be integrated and upgraded with the Spirit Hall and Yin House of the Sad King Immortal. Do you want to upgrade it?"

Seeing this line of text, Jiang Xinghuo thought he was lucky. He didn't expect that the two skills could be integrated with each other, so he chose to upgrade directly.

"You integrated the spirit hall of the Sorrowful King Immortal into your body. The strange power polluted your blood and merged with the Five Grains and Harvest Formation, causing unknown changes."

"Your magic has been upgraded successfully."

"You have obtained the Temple of the King of Sorrow."

"The Temple of the King of Sorrow (a rare spell), a brand new spell derived from the fusion of the Abundant Harvest Formation and the King of Sorrow's Spirit Hall, which can open up a Temple of the King of Sorrow in the body to attract souls, raise ghosts, and refine corpses."

hum!
Jiang Xinghuo's mind moved, his ears trembled slightly, and his vision changed rapidly.

An eerie and dilapidated old temple appeared before my eyes, surrounded by fields for planting urns and rice, with smoke curling up in the air and a chilly wind blowing through the temple. On the tattered altar lay two spirit tablets with unclear words on them.

“Is this the Temple of the King of Sadness?”

Jiang Xinghuo stroked his chin, feeling that the Temple of the King of Sadness was a little too dark for the underworld. But then he thought, this was originally a place for refining ghosts and raising corpses, so it would not be appropriate to make it so festive.

At this time, there is feedback text information in the game again.

"You have successfully opened up the Sad King Temple. By adding various funeral folklore materials to the temple, you can expand the scope of the Sad King Temple."

Expanding areas?

Jiang Xinghuo thought of the Water God Palace. After it was integrated into the Eight Sea Dragon Kings Diagram, the water area expanded by nearly double, and he also found a method to practice heavy water.

After the Temple of King Bei expands to a certain extent, some special changes should occur.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo opened the interface of the niche shop, wanting to see if there were any suitable funeral folk materials.

"Item: Blood-farming Corpse (Ordinary Material), a corpse from an ancient tomb deep in the Greater Khingan Range in Guandong. It is agile and not afraid of fire, swords, or axes. Sender: Treasure Holder. Current highest bid: 500 incense sticks. Remaining bidding time: 2 hours."

"Item: Green Tomb (Ordinary Material), a tomb in the Ten Thousand Mountains of Lingnan, a natural place for raising corpses, bidder: Great Thunder God, current highest bid: 500 incense sticks, remaining bidding time: 30 minutes."

"Item: Tombstone (common material), a tombstone from a green tomb, which has the effect of suppressing evil and gathering energy. Sender: Thunder God. Current highest bid: 500 incense sticks. Remaining bidding time: 30 minutes."

"Item: Evil Coffin (Ordinary Material), a coffin found under the underground palace of Lushan Mountain. It can be enlightened by blood and can randomly hatch an evil spirit. Sender: Human Skin Fairy. Current highest bid: 1000 incense sticks. Remaining bidding time: 3 hours."

"Item: Bone Urn (Ordinary Material), an item from the Ghost Play Boat on the Lujiang River in the south of the Yangtze River. It can forcibly restrain ghosts in the urn. Sender: Fengliuke. Current highest bid: 1000 incense sticks. Remaining bidding time: 4 hours."

"Item: Qingfeng Tower (common material), a small cemetery found in Fengmen Town in Guandong, which can attract the souls of the dead and improve their cultivation. Sender: Wuzang Taoist, current highest bid: 1000 incense sticks, remaining bidding time: 3 hours."

Jiang Xinghuo was strolling around the niches of Fuchun Teahouse. These people who sent their photos were all players who had entered the game before him. They should have explored more maps than him, so naturally they would have found a lot.

Just like the things above, if you go looking for them yourself, you don’t know how much time it will take and how many times you will die. Now you only need to spend some money on incense and you can get them all. It’s quite cost-effective.

Jiang Xinghuo waved his hand and bought all the funeral props and materials mentioned above, and the price he offered was much higher than the current auction price.

However, Jiang Xinghuo was somewhat surprised that after the Great Thunder God learned that it was him who was bidding, he actually took the things away directly, and then talked to him privately, and took down the tombstone and the green tomb with only 500 incense sticks.

Jiang Xinghuo also accepted the favor and agreed to go to the dungeon together in a few days.

"You have obtained the Tombstone."

"You have obtained the Green Tomb."

After Jiang Xinghuo obtained the two props, he unfolded the Temple of the King of Sadness in his body, and then placed the Green Tomb and the Tombstone in the temple.

An ancient tomb built of bluestone and a mottled and broken tombstone make the already gloomy Temple of the King of Sadness even more eerie.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo took the two coffins out of the urn and placed them in the Qing Tomb.

The next step is to wait.

It was not until after six o'clock in the evening that Jiang Xinghuo got everything. However, he did not expect that after some arrangements, a message prompt suddenly came from the game.

"Praying too much for blessings is a disaster, and seeking too much for knowledge is a calamity."

"Your power has been enhanced." "But don't forget that your bloodline has been tainted by the power of blasphemy, which is considered an ominous power in the secular world."

"When your strength reaches a certain level, the blasphemous power contained in your blood will attract countless terrifying monsters and demons, who will hunt you down endlessly."

"They may even pass through the barrier of the Land of Exile and come to the real world to cause trouble for you, so please use your power with caution in the folk world."

Looking at the game text that popped up on the screen, Jiang Xinghuo thought about it carefully and there seemed to be nothing wrong with the logic.

Not to mention that the players are the exiled secular bloodline. Even if this didn't happen, the players and the local ghosts and gods in the folk world probably wouldn't be on the same page.

Because the cultivation methods and various materials and props mastered by the Exiles were all plundered from those monsters, how could the two sides possibly coexist peacefully.

However, although there are some restrictions in the game, there is no such taboo in reality and any abilities can be used freely.

Jiang Xinghuo checked the time and saw that there were no more customers, so he prepared some food for himself. While eating dinner, he took out his cell phone and continued playing games.

"You woke up next to the shrine in Coffin Town."

"It's getting dark now. It won't be long before night falls completely. You'd better find a place to stay before dark."

"The nights in Coffin Town are not so peaceful. There are often evil creatures that come to life and wander the deserted streets at midnight."

"Where are you going to live?"

"Master Guan's mansion, wedding wine shop, dilapidated City God Temple, coffin shop, funeral music shop, or go back to Longcheng to find a place?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it for a while and decided to choose Chenghuang Temple. After all, among these places, Chenghuang Temple was the only one that was relatively safe.

"You came to the City God Temple again."

"Yellow Spring Lantern talent, triggered."

"You took out the Yellow Spring Lamp, and the dim light illuminated the dilapidated temple. You found the body of an apprentice from a coffin shop in the corner."

"You chose to go forward and touch the corpse."

"You found a torn martial arts comic book on the other person's body. It was the most popular storyteller in the teahouse, The Legend of the Swordsman of Shu Mountain."

"It turns out that this apprentice in the coffin shop is not from here, but came from Longcheng to learn the art. He has been listening to storytellers since he was a child, and he admires the swordsmen who exorcise demons and fly with swords. He vowed to become a swordsman who takes pleasure in revenge like them."

"So when I was nine years old, I spent the New Year's money I had saved for many years and bought a sword-fighting manual full of comic books from an old beggar on the street. I practiced hard every day for more than ten years."

"After learning martial arts at the coffin shop, he still kept the habit of practicing swordsmanship. As a result, he was seen by his fellow apprentices, who told him that the so-called secret book was just an ordinary comic book and that he couldn't learn any swordsmanship at all, so he told him not to bother with it."

"I never thought that the child was so shocked that he went straight to the City God Temple and took arsenic, and died."

"But after careful observation, you will find that the seemingly ordinary comic book actually has a secret hidden in it. It is a real sword-controlling secret book, but the sword techniques are hidden in the picture book."

"You have obtained the Hundred-Step Flying Sword."

"Hundred-step Flying Sword (Excellent Technique), the introductory sword technique passed down secretly by the sword cultivators of Mount Shu. Although it is only an introductory technique and cannot fly into the sky or hide in the ground, or control the sword for a hundred miles, it still has a good killing power and can emit sword light within a hundred steps."

"Do you want to practice the Hundred-Step Flying Sword?"

Jiang Xinghuo was greatly surprised and thought to himself that he was really lucky. He could come across such a good thing just by taking a nap in the City God Temple.

"You have learned the Hundred-Step Flying Sword."

Jiang Xinghuo acquired the skill of 'Hundred-Step Flying Sword'. With the help of the sword, he pierced through a wall in an instant at a distance of more than ten meters.

"It's pretty awesome..."

Looking at the pierced wall, Jiang Xinghuo showed a satisfied expression, put away the evil star bite, and continued to look at the mobile phone screen.

"You have obtained the secret manual of the Hundred-Step Flying Sword."

"You collected the body of the coffin shop apprentice and found a set of apprentice skins on it."

"The skin of the apprentice of the coffin shop (common consumable item). The skin dropped by the apprentice of the coffin shop after his death. After wearing it, you can disguise yourself as the other party. Duration: 24 hours."

Seeing the message pop up in the game, Jiang Xinghuo was secretly happy in his heart. It was like a pillow just when he wanted to fall asleep.

He was worrying about how to get close to the undertaker. With this skin, he could disguise himself as an apprentice of the coffin shop and enter the coffin shop openly.

"Do you want to switch to the Coffin Shop Apprentice skin?"

"You have taken on the skin of a coffin maker's apprentice."

"What are you going to do next? Will you continue to stay in the City God Temple? Or will you return to the coffin shop?"

"You chose to return to the coffin shop."

"You followed the map given to you by the Water Armor Soldier and found the coffin maker's coffin shop at the northernmost part of Coffin Town."

"This is a courtyard located in an inconspicuous alley."

"You saw a heavy lock on the door of the coffin shop, but there was still a faint light in the yard. Obviously, someone locked the door. You couldn't get in, so you could only knock on the door. Fortunately, there was a voice behind the door responding."

"After you knocked on the door, the undertaker's voice came from inside the coffin shop. He said he was busy making coffins and couldn't open the door for you for the time being."

"It just so happens that it has something for you to do. When you come back, the coffin will be almost finished, and you can come in then."

"Are you going to accept the undertaker's request?"

When Jiang Xinghuo heard this, he began to have doubts in his heart.

He always felt that there was something wrong with the undertaker.

How could it be such a coincidence? First someone pointed out the fake secret book, but that person didn't come back for the whole afternoon and no one went to look for him. Now that he's back, he has something to do.

Moreover, the previous game text mentioned that the nights in Coffin Town were not peaceful, and there were often dead bodies of evil creatures parading in the streets. The undertaker could not have been unaware of this.

But it still let its apprentice go out to do things, clearly wanting its apprentice to die on purpose. The old thing really has a dirty heart.

At this time, the game text changed again.

"When the undertaker saw that you didn't respond, he continued to seduce you from behind the door."

"It said that it would not let you come for nothing. Once you finish this task and come back, you will get what it has prepared for you."

Jiang Xinghuo took a look.

It’s not free!

There are rewards!
Then things will be easier to handle!
