My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 745 Taishan Queen
Looking at the content of the game text, Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, thinking that it was over so quickly, it seemed that he was really suspected.

But he had nothing to worry about. When he went to cause trouble, he wore a mountain ghost mask and not his real appearance. Even if this Jile Hou suspected him, there was nothing he could do.

Unless he wants to break up with me for whatever reason, he just wants to kill me.

Furthermore, Paradise City has deductive techniques and props above the mythical level, so one can deduce and divine one's own identity without being affected by the talisman for eliminating the traces of cause and effect.

But it is obvious that Ji Le City does not have this condition, otherwise Ji Le Hou would not have sent someone to pass the message, but would have brought people directly to cause trouble for him.

In this situation, if I choose not to see him, it would seem that I have something to hide.

"You chose to meet with Lord Ji Le."

"The waiter left the private room, and soon came back with Jile Hou. The eye you had bitten off with the evil star was restored to its original state, without any trace of fighting. But you can see that the eye is not a real organ, but a prop of the eyeball type, which can replace the function of the eyeball, and perhaps has some other abilities."

"You have discovered it, ask your heart."

"Inquiring Eyes (excellent item). After passing the test of the Inquiring Hall, you will receive a random item within the next three days. This eyeball is the reward for the Blissful Marquis for passing the test. It can detect whether others are lying to it."

"Marquis Ji Le used the Heart-Searching Eyes to come here to find you. I think he is deeply suspicious of you, but he is not sure that you are the culprit behind it. So how are you going to deal with it next?"

"Would you choose to pretend that you don't know what's going on outside, or would you just tell them that you're the one who caused all this?"

"You chose to play dumb."

"You asked with surprise what happened to Lord Ji Le and why there was such a big commotion outside?"

"The Lord of Bliss stared at you for a long time, his eyes flashing with a deep light, as if he was judging whether your words were true or not. After a while, the expression on his face relaxed, and he said that it was just an explosion in the fireworks shop in the south of the city, which was not a big deal. However, the Lord of Bliss had some urgent things to do in the past few days, so he didn't have time to receive you for the time being. You may have to wait for a few more days before you can see the Lord of Bliss."

"Although the Heart-Searching Eyes can judge whether a person's words are true or false, because the Dreaming Butterfly resides in your body, these spiritual props and spells do not have such a big impact on you, and the Heart-Searching Eyes cannot peek into your true heart."

"After confirming that you are not the mastermind behind the looting of the treasure house, Marquis Jile did not stay any longer and left Fuchun Teahouse directly."

"What decision are you going to make now?"

"Will you choose to leave Paradise City immediately, or continue to wander here for a few days?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose the latter.

Paradise City is a large map, and it cannot be fully explored in a few days or three. He plans to stay here for a while and explore the map thoroughly before moving on to other places.

Moreover, he has not found the shrine of Paradise City yet. If he leaves just like that, he will have to run the map again the next time he comes back, which will waste too much time.

But he was not in a hurry to explore immediately as he still had a lot of things to count.

"Yin Yang Joint Burial Mandarin Duck Coffin (Ordinary Prop), a mandarin duck coffin specifically used for joint burial. The person buried in this coffin can continue their past life marriage after reincarnation.

"You triggered it, Fiery Eyes and Golden Eyes."

"Your flaming eyes were as bright as two suns, and you could actually see through the coffin and see what was inside. It was then that you suddenly realized that this mandarin duck coffin was not empty!"

"Do you want to open the coffin immediately and see what's inside?"

"You opened this mandarin duck coffin."

"You found two puppets."

"There are spells engraved on these two puppets. You have seen relevant records in the collection of talismans in the Maoshan Sect. These spells and talismans are the talismans used by the substitute to transform."

"The two puppets can be transformed into real people to be used in certain special rituals, such as ghost marriages or rituals to worship the mountain god He Bo."

"These two puppets appear to be the latter, and are used to worship special gods."

Jiang Xinghuo read the description and felt that this thing was of no use to him, so he simply threw it into his magic bag, planning to find a chance to sell it later.

Then he took a quick inventory of the remaining items.

"The blood of the Yin-Yang demon (rare material), the blood of the Yin-Yang demon from the secular world. After applying it on the body, one can temporarily change one's gender. It is not a change of appearance, but a change of biological genes from the inside out. Duration: 24 hours."

"The armor and robe of the Horse King God (a rare item) can improve one's own defense ability, and at the same time, it can also learn all kinds of transportation without any instruction, including but not limited to carriages, cars, airplanes, ships, etc...."

"Unhatched prodigal sons are loaded with dirty things (special materials). Prodigal sons are a very special kind of monsters in the secular world, and their power is almost the same as that of the Bone Dragon. Some people speculate that the Bone Dragon is the evolutionary branch of the prodigal son, and it can be used to improve the Bone Dragon's Taoism."

Jiang Xinghuo took a look and clicked on the text directly, giving the prodigal son, the dirty thing, to the small bone-transforming dragon in the acupoint.

"The Bone Dragon devoured the prodigal's pretense, and its level increased by +2."

"Golden Silk Candy Bag (rare item), it will automatically produce a piece of candy every 24 hours. After swallowing, it can greatly improve your luck. It can also be combined with the abilities of items of the same nature. It can hold up to seven pieces of candy, and each piece of candy is effective for eight hours."

"Current quantity remaining: 3."

"The Mountain Ghost Coin (special item) of unknown origin is suspected to be made by a Taoist master. If it encounters evil spirits, it will automatically sense them and release thunder to attack the direction where the evil spirits are hiding."

"Do you want to equip this mountain ghost coin?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes, spent the mountain ghost money to equip the game character, then found the wedding candy bag and clicked to use it.

"You have used the golden wedding candy."

"Number of wedding candies, -1."

"Your luck has improved."

"You used the Qilin Blessing."

"You used the Fortune Incense."

"With these three forces combined, your luck has been greatly improved."

"You heard some faint whispers coming from the next room. Do you want to go over and take a look?"

"You use your innate ability of gossip ears to hear all the conversations in the next room."

"Two corpse drivers are talking. It is said that a small temple appeared in the northeast corner of Paradise City a few days ago. It is suspected to be something left behind by the ancient god Fengdu. But it is now guarded by the guards of Paradise City and no one is allowed to approach."

Jiang Xinghuo's mind moved. Whatever he thought of was really coming true. The small temple left behind by Fengdu was most likely the Fengdu shrine.

"Do you want to go and investigate immediately?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation. The main purpose of his staying in Paradise City was to find the Fengdu Shrine. This way, he could leave here without worry and come back to explore at any time. Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to run the map again.

"You followed the description of the two corpse drivers and came to the northeast of Paradise City. As expected, you saw a forbidden place. The guards of Paradise City were waiting outside. You could vaguely see an ancient little temple standing in an inconspicuous corner."

"You have found the Fengdu Shrine." "Do you want to go over and light it up immediately?"

Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a moment. He had to go over and light up the shrine, but he couldn't just go there blindly as it would easily cause unnecessary trouble. He had to think of a way to divert the attention of these guards.

"You took out a lot of puppets."

"You controlled the puppets to attack the jailers. The scene suddenly became chaotic and the people around you scattered. You took advantage of the chaos to use the dimensional technique to hide yourself in another dimension, and then came to the Fengdu shrine."

"You have lit up the Fengdu Shrine in Paradise City."

"You have received the message from Fengdu."

"You have captured a key clue in Fengdu's message, which is the method to seize and occupy Taishan Hell. Fengdu left a sword in Taishan Hell that can kill Taishan Goddess and seize the power in her body. As long as you can seize the power of Taishan Goddess, you can gain control of Taishan Hell."

God-slaying sword?

Jiang Xinghuo thought that this was a bit difficult. If the knife was placed somewhere else, he might be able to get it by thinking of some way.

But now this knife remains in the Hell of Mount Tai. Will the Queen of Mount Tai allow me to enter?

Never mind for now, we’ll talk about it after it’s over.

"You have now lit up the Fengdu Shrine in Paradise City. You can come and explore at any time. Do you want to stay here?"

This time, Jiang Xinghuo chose no.

The reason why he stayed here before was that he didn't want to run the map again, but now there is no need to do so. He can come whenever he wants. There is no need to waste time.

"You chose to leave Paradise City."

"Where are you going next?"

"Will you choose to go to the Taishan Niangniang Temple immediately? Or will you choose to explore the Lingnan area in the secular world?"

"You chose to go to the Taishan Niangniang Temple."

"On the way, please wait..."

"We are on the road. It is estimated that we will reach our destination, the Taishan Niangniang Temple, in about sixteen hours. Exile, if you can afford a horse or use other means to help you travel faster, the time will be greatly shortened."

The game gave some suggestions on how to speed up the journey and save travel time. Jiang Xinghuo directly started the limb splicing method.

"Your Dharma image transforms into a corpse dragon, flying quickly in the sky. Your speed is even faster than that of a cloud dragon, but it consumes a lot of mana."

"It is expected to arrive at the destination in about an hour."

"On the way, please wait..."

Jiang Xinghuo prepared the medicine to restore mana according to the instructions.

Fashang's corpse dragon form is an ability derived from swallowing the remains of dragon bones in the Huaiyin water vein. Apart from its excessive consumption, it has no other disadvantages.

After one hour.

A new text prompt came from the game.

"You have entered the Taishan area."

"You released the limb splicing method, used the Medicine Fairy Gourd to restore your strength, and began to look around."

"As a secular deity born and raised by nature, the whereabouts of the Goddess of Mount Tai are extremely secretive. Although many people know that the Goddess of Mount Tai is here, they simply cannot find the Temple of the Goddess of Mount Tai."

"You triggered it, Fiery Eyes and Golden Eyes."

"With the help of your Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils, you found some clues and discovered that there seemed to be unusual power fluctuations under the cliff ahead. This might be the path leading to the Taishan Niangniang Temple."

"Please note that Mount Tai is a sacred mountain in the secular world. It possesses incredible power. According to legend, it controls the life and death of all things. Therefore, even if you are an exile cursed by death, you will not be able to be resurrected immediately after dying here. You will need to wait for sixteen hours before you can be resurrected again."

"Do you want to try again?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it. It was only a cooling-off period of sixteen hours. Even if he guessed wrong, it would not have any impact on his real self.

"When you come to that cliff covered by clouds, do you want to jump off immediately?"

"If you choose to jump, you will face two consequences. One is to find the Taishan Niangniang Temple, and the other is to die without a complete body."

"So how are you going to choose?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose to jump down directly.

All come,

How can you know the result if you don't try it?

"You jumped off a cliff."

"You feel a strong sense of weightlessness, and your body is torn apart as you fall at high speed. The height of this cliff seems endless, and your mind gradually becomes blurred..."

"You are dead."

"Your body and internal organs were torn apart by the strong wind, and even your tendons and bones were worn away completely."

Jiang Xinghuo was not surprised. He had already prepared for death. It was just a matter of waiting for another ten hours.

But just when he was about to put down his phone, new game text suddenly popped up on the screen.

"You feel your torn body reuniting, and the cold nectar flows through your limbs and bones, suppressing the pain in your body while also reshaping your bones."

"You were resurrected by an inexplicable force. You opened your eyes and found yourself in an ancient temple."

"You have been resurrected."

"You have arrived at the Taishan Goddess Temple."

"You see a gentle and kind goddess looking at you, and her kind eyes are as if she is looking at her own children."

"You have discovered it, Lady Taishan."

"The Goddess of Mount Tai holds the power of life and death in this world. Only She can pull you out of the lonely kingdom of death."
