My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 690: Zongbu God’s Blessing Altar
Jiang Xinghuo looked at the game text on the screen, and after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to give it a try with the King Killing Dagger.

As long as he could kill the Huaiyin Water God who occupied the body of the Dragon River King, all the sacrifices would be worth it, even if he died eight or ten times.

After making up his mind, Jiang Xinghuo no longer hesitated and directly released the ability of dimension magic, clicking on the text and choosing to use this item.

"You lifted the effect of the dimensional spell and left the dimensional space. Moreover, your sudden appearance also startled the Huaiyin Water God. It didn't expect that someone could sneak into its palace without making any sound. If you hadn't taken the initiative to show up, it wouldn't have noticed that there was a second person here."

"You rushed forward holding the King-King Killing Dagger, and used the divine movement method. With the blessing of the Cloud-Stepping Boots, you instantly arrived in front of the Huaiyin Water God. The King-King Killing Dagger was like a poisonous snake in the dark, biting the Huaiyin Water God's throat quickly, steadily, accurately and ruthlessly."

"But just as the dagger was about to pierce the throat of the Huaiyin Water God, you suddenly felt an irresistible force coming from behind you, directly throwing your body more than ten meters away, and falling heavily to the ground."

"When your life was at stake, the Huaiyin Water God used his power as a water god. The water vapor in the air turned into two invisible giant pythons, tightly wrapping around your limbs. At the same time, you felt the blood and water in your body draining away quickly. You soon became confused and felt cold all over. Finally, your consciousness completely fell into darkness."

"The blood and moisture in your body have been sucked dry by the Huaiyin Water God, and you have become a shriveled corpse."

"In his prime, the Huaiyin Water God could control the liquid in the entire Huaiyin water vein with his authority. Although he is now barely alive, he still has the power of life and death in this Water God Palace."

"The blood and water in your body are also liquids after all, so they will naturally be controlled by the authority of the Huaiyin Water God."

"However, the behavior of the Huaiyin Water God is similar to drinking poison to quench thirst. Although he used the power of the Water God to kill you and avoided the crisis of being assassinated, his already decaying body was also attacked and became even more decayed and dilapidated. You may try to take advantage of this weakness and find an opportunity to kill you with one strike."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the text and fell into deep thought. Every time he used the power of the God of Water, the body of King Longhe would rot a little. So as long as he forced the God of Water Huaiyin to use the power of the God of Water continuously, his physical condition would continue to deteriorate, and it would then be much easier to assassinate him.

But the premise for doing so is not to alarm other people. There are still many evil spirits wandering around in the Huaiyin Water Palace. If they are alarmed, his plan will fail.

"You used a scapegoat to come back to life."

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo opened the magic bag again, took out a few soundproofing notes from it, and then clicked to use them.

"You used the talisman to isolate the sounds inside the Water God Palace from the outside world. Before the talisman loses its effect, everything that happens inside cannot be transmitted to the outside world, and it will not alarm other people."

"But the monsters and demons in the Huaiyin Water Palace have suffered from its tyranny for a long time. They dare not resist because of the Heart Seal planted in their bodies by the Huaiyin Water God. The Huaiyin Water God can activate the curse seal at any time to crush the heart veins of these monsters and demons. This is why they dare not fight back even though they are resentful."

"Now that you want to assassinate the Huaiyin Water God, it is equivalent to saving these monsters from danger. Not to mention that they don't know about this, even if they know about it, they may not help the Huaiyin Water God. It is more likely that they will respond from the side and help you kill the Huaiyin Water God and regain your freedom."

"Do you want to try to call those monsters in to help?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and finally chose no. The game text only said a possibility, not that this situation would definitely occur. It is better to have less trouble than more, so he should do it alone and not add a lot of trouble out of thin air.

"You refused to call on other monsters to come in for help, and planned to completely eradicate the Huaiyin Water God by yourself."

"You rushed forward again with the dagger in your hand, but before you could reach the Huaiyin Water God, you were killed again by the Water God, who controlled its power."

"You are dead."

Jiang Xinghuo was not discouraged at all. After activating the scapegoat, he rushed up again. However, there was still no change. He was easily killed in the hall by the Huaiyin Water God using his power as the God of Water.

However, the game text of Huaiyin Water God also changes slightly every time, and the corpse of Longhe King decays more and more seriously.

Just when Jiang Xinghuo was resurrected for the seventh time after his death, the new game text finally popped up.

"The Huaiyin Water God hates you, the exile, very much. He wishes he could completely blast you, an ant, into ashes. However, you are despised and cursed by the secular world, and you are also rejected by the secular kingdom of death. Even if he kills you a thousand times or ten thousand times, he cannot really stop your behavior."

"Moreover, the Huaiyin Water God used his Water God authority continuously in a short period of time, which has caused a lot of corrosion to this body. It is more dilapidated than when you saw it before, and it has even affected its consciousness and soul."

"After you saw the situation of Huaiyin Water God, you rushed over again. The assassin's dagger exuded a bloody smell and turned into several streams of light phantoms, stabbing at the vital parts of Huaiyin Water God, making it difficult for people to figure out where your target was."

"The Huaiyin Water God wanted to activate the Water God's authority, but he was powerless. His body could not support the operation of the Water God's authority again. Now he could not even abandon this body, because the corpse of the Dragon River King was like a cage, locking him tightly inside the corpse. This was also the retribution and punishment for his blasphemy against the Dragon Bloodline. The Huaiyin Water God was destined to return to dust with this corpse."

"Your dagger pierced the heart of the Huaiyin Water God. The terrifying power of the curse spread instantly. The Huaiyin Water God felt the fear and pain of death. The body of the Dragon River King also burned with golden flames, and the soul of the Huaiyin Water God was burned to ashes."

"Until it was completely wiped out, the Huaiyin Water God couldn't believe that he had died in your hands. He shouldn't have died in the hands of a weak ant like you. He had worked hard for many years to extend his life, and even betrayed his best friend for this. But in the end, it was just an empty dream, and he got nothing except the infamy during his lifetime and after his death."

"You have killed the Huaiyin Water God."

"You have obtained, Incense +3990."

"The incense accumulated by the Huaiyin Water God over the years was taken away by the Mountain and River Sacrifice True Lord, leaving only a small amount of incense on him."

"You have received the gratitude and gift from the Dragon River King."

"The Dragon River King thanks you for freeing it from blasphemy, and also thanks you for avenging it and killing the Huaiyin Water God. However, it died many years ago and cannot give you a generous enough reward. I can only tell you some secrets I know."

"You have obtained the Secret Box of King Longhe (passive)." "The Secret Box of King Longhe (special item), a Secret Box formed by the last bit of King Longhe's obsession. However, unlike other Secret Boxes, you cannot actively use this one, but can only trigger it passively. If you encounter some difficulties while exploring the secular world, the Secret Box will automatically trigger and give you relevant clues. However, the clues you can get must be things that King Longhe knew before he died."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the description of the colored box and roughly understood what it meant. In the future, when he was exploring in the game, if he encountered people or things that Longhe King knew or had seen, this item would automatically trigger and give the corresponding information.

This can also be considered a prop that increases the event triggering rate. Jiang Xinghuo put the thing into the magic bag and controlled the character to explore the Water God Palace.

No matter what, this is also the palace of the Huaiyin Water God, so there should be some good things here.

"Exploring, please wait..."

"You explored the Water God Palace and gained something, including some things that can be reused."

"You have obtained an ancient stone altar, an electric water-dividing fork, a secret scroll of the Water Dragon Chant technique, a bronze river god mask, a silent earring, and a pair of ancient mammoth ivory chopsticks."

Looking at the things he found, Jiang Xinghuo started by counting the small items and put the altar and the water-dividing fork at the end.

"Ancient mammoth ivory chopsticks (excellent props), one of the eight banquet utensils left by the Zhenxiu Immortal, can identify various poisons and can also convert toxins in food into bacteria that can be absorbed by beneficial organisms."

These are things left behind by the Zhenxiu Immortal, and they match the three things on Gaoliangzi's body. If I can find the remaining pieces in the future, maybe I can trigger other clue tasks.

"Silent earrings (rare item), an earring made by Xinghai Xianren. It can block out the polluting noise from the outside world. It can even block the magic sound used by the ancient gods of the deep sea to seduce people. However, when it senses the magic sound of the deep sea, it will also inform Xinghai Xianren of the wearer's location."

"When Xinghai Xianren went fishing, he encountered an ancient deep-sea god causing trouble. He wanted to fish it out and kill it, but the ancient deep-sea god was huge and extremely fast, so it fled to the eye of the sea and escaped. This became a concern for Xinghai Xianren. When this silent earring senses the deep-sea magic sound, it will automatically activate to form a teleportation array. Xinghai Xianren can then fly over the air and kill the ancient deep-sea god."

"Do you want to equip this silent earring?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and chose to equip this item.

This is a prop made by the Star Sea Immortal specifically for dealing with the ancient gods of the deep sea. It can also block other polluting noises. Wearing it on your body is a precautionary measure, and it can also be used to deal with some monsters and demons that have the ability to attack with sound waves.

"Bronze River God Mask (Excellent Item), a River God Mask obtained by Huaiyin Water God by chance. After equipping it, you can transform into the River God and possess the authority and power held by the River God."

"Be careful. The origin of this river god mask is unknown. If you wear it for a long time, you may experience hallucinations. It is suspected to be a fragment of a medium to enter a certain ruin. You may need to gather other fragments of the medium to find out the truth of the matter."

Jiang Xinghuo put away the bronze river god mask and secretly took note of this incident to see if there would be a chance to obtain other fragments in the future.

Incomplete map clue props like this are very common in the secular world, but there are only a few people who can actually find the map through these media. Because the secular world is too big, no one knows whether they can find the remaining clues. Often, a lot of fragments are collected, but in the end none of them can be used.

So Jiang Xinghuo didn't take it too seriously. If I get it, I'm lucky. If I lose it, it's my fate. There's nothing to worry about.

"The Secret Scroll of the Water Dragon Chant (a rare item). It is a spell that controls the flow of water to attack the enemy. However, only water-attributed monsters can practice it. Forcing creatures of other races to practice it will do more harm than good, and will hurt themselves."

Only water-type monsters and demons can practice cultivation?

Jiang Xinghuo directly gave the secret book of magic to the boy who suppresses the river. Instead of hanging it in a niche and selling it to others at a cheap price, it would be better to keep it for his own cub to use.

"The Lightning Water-Dividing Fork (Epic Item), a weapon used by the Huaiyin Water God in the past. It was found in an ancient tomb under the South China Sea. It not only has the ability to divide water and break waves, but can also release a large amount of electric arc lightning. Its power is doubled when used underwater."

"You can go find the Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian and try to integrate this Water-Dividing Lightning Fork into your weapon props."

Electric fishing artifact!

After reading the description in the text, Jiang Xinghuo gave a very appropriate evaluation. It is a fork, and it can also discharge electricity. What else can it be but a magical device for electrofishing? ?

Finally, all that remained was the stone altar.

"Ancient stone altar (common item). This is the altar that the Huaiyin water god dug out from the ice and snow deep in the Xing'an Mountains in Guandong in order to extend his life. It contains an ancient atmosphere of vicissitudes of time, but its purpose is unknown."

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You observed this altar through the vision of Tathagatagarbha and discovered the secrets hidden beneath the surface of this ancient altar."

"You have obtained the altar for the blessing of the Zongbu God."

"Zongbu God's Blessing Altar (Special Item). In the ancient folk legends of Kanto, Zongbu God left behind a large number of altars after his death. All living beings in the secular world can pass through this altar to the resting place of Zongbu God's soul and receive his gifts and inheritance."

"Attention, according to legend, Zongbu God is not only the god of hunting, but also the god of demon-slaying in the secular world. If a person with bad intentions passes through the altar and reaches the resting place of Zongbu God's soul, then he will never be able to return from there, but will be kept by Zongbu God to prevent him from going out to harm others."
