My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 747: Taiyin Armor and God-Slaying Sword
"You still rejected the suggestion made by Queen Taishan and did not ask her to help separate the volcanic hell from the underworld."

"When the Queen Mother of Mount Tai saw that you were determined to do this, she showed a trace of pity on her face, and her figure flashed and disappeared into the Hell of Mount Tai, and the entrance to the outside world also disappeared without a trace."

"The Queen of Mount Tai has left you in the Hell of Mount Tai, and has told you that she will release you whenever you change your mind."

"Moreover, Taishan Hell is different from other places. Even if you are an exile cursed by the secular world, if you die in Taishan Hell, you will not be resurrected outside, but will be trapped here forever."

"Although she cannot completely reverse the curse placed on you by the Lord of the Secular World, she can change some of the abilities of this curse within a small range."

"You are now trapped in Tarzan Hell. What are you going to do next?"

"Will you choose to succumb to the threats of Lady Taishan and be willing to become her vanguard, thus escaping the shackles of the hell of Taishan? Or will you choose to go all the way to the end, rather than surrender, and continue to fight with Lady Taishan?"

Jiang Xinghuo saw this and thought that the soft approach wouldn't work, so he had to use the hard approach. So, let's just keep fighting, and it's still unknown who will suffer and who will gain in the end.

"The Queen Mother of Mount Tai has sealed all the exits of Mount Tai Hell. Even she cannot peek into the hell. This will prevent you from escaping from here to the greatest extent possible."

"After all, your race of exiles is too terrifying. Not only have you produced many powerful people who have roamed the secular world, but even the weak ones have endless treacherous means. If you are not careful, all your efforts will be wasted and you will be unable to escape from here."

Jiang Xinghuo chose to stay in the Hell of Mount Tai. Even when the Queen Mother of Mount Tai tried to negotiate with him in a nice way and tried to tempt him with fragments of the law of cause and effect, he still did not agree to any of the conditions proposed by the other party.

If I agree to it now, wouldn't I be frightened and become a scoundrel who can't move forward without being led or beaten?

Besides, the god-slaying sword left by Fengdu is in the Taishan Hell. He has to find a way to find the sword, and after leaving here, see if he can kill the Queen of Taishan.

Since she has already attacked me, there is no need for me to be polite. After killing her, the fragments of the law of cause and effect will still be mine.

"You chose to continue to fight with Queen Taishan."

"You left the altar at your feet and randomly chose a direction, heading towards the depths of the Tarzan Hell. All you saw was death and desolation, without any signs of life."

"Ever since the underworld rose up and replaced the Taishan Hell, no new souls have arrived here for a long time. All the dead souls have been led to the underworld. The souls that originally entered here have also lost the opportunity to reincarnate and gradually died over the years."

"And according to some ancient folk legends, Mount Tai Hell is the final destination of zombies after death. In the general perception of the world, zombies are monsters that have jumped out of the Three Realms and Five Elements, and their three souls are all gone, leaving only the seven spirits in their bodies. And the spirits have no ability to reincarnate, so after the zombies die, their spirits will condense into a crystal of power."

"This crystal is extremely poisonous to ordinary monsters. Once swallowed, they will be transformed into zombies at best, or their souls will be shattered at worst. But for monsters that are also zombies, it is a great tonic that can help improve their cultivation."

Seeing the description in this text, Jiang Xinghuo immediately became interested. If this was true, then the drought demon in the acupoint would make a lot of money.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo immediately opened the skill panel and released Hanba from the acupoints in his body.

"You released the Hanba from the acupoint and informed it of the current situation. When Hanba learned that this was the Taishan Hell, he immediately realized that his chance had come."

"The legend of Taishan Hell is a memory engraved in the bodies of zombies. It is equivalent to a bloodline inheritance. No matter what race a creature was in life, as long as they become zombies after death, the relevant memories will appear in their minds."

"Hanba immediately spread his power and aura. A large amount of fire suddenly spread out in the barren Taishan Hell, forming footprints of different shapes but extremely charred, which spread in all directions."

"Hanba growled at you twice, and you immediately understood what he meant. There are many kinds of zombies, and Hanba is just a high-level evolution of one of them. At the same level are '犼' and '金甲尸', as well as the mysterious '尸仙'."

"These four types of zombies are all advanced from ordinary zombies. Hanba can only sense the breath of zombies of the same species, and cannot detect the breath of the other three types of zombies. You need to explore them slowly by yourself."

Jiang Xinghuo then realized that zombies are also divided into different types. He thought all zombies were the same.

"Led by Hanba, you walked towards the depths of hell and soon arrived outside a hall of withered bones. This hall of withered bones was formed from the skeleton of some giant beast after its death. It exudes a wild beauty. In the hall, you can vaguely see a ball of flame-like crystal floating."

"You have discovered it, Hanbapo."

"Do you want to go in and take out the 'Hanba Po'?"

"You entered the Hall of Dry Bones and took the flame crystal suspended in the air into your hands."

"You have obtained the zombie soul."

"Zombie Soul (consumable materials), the product of the residual soul of a Hanba zombie after death. It can transform the living into zombies, and can also improve the level of zombies."

"Will you choose to use this zombie soul yourself, or give it to Hanba?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought that he had no interest in using this thing, so he decided to give it to Hanba.

"You gave the zombie spirit to Hanba. After Hanba absorbed the power in it, his Taoism was slightly improved by +1."

"You found that Hanba's body seemed to have grown a little bit, from the size of a five or six-year-old child to the size of a six or seven-year-old child."

The speed was really immediate. Just after using a zombie soul, there was a significant improvement.

"Do you want to continue looking for other zombie souls?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes and was about to control Juese to leave the Hall of Withered Bones, but a new text was triggered.

"When you were about to leave, your talent of Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils was suddenly triggered."

"The level of the demons and monsters that are restrained in the acupoints in your body is closely related to your own cultivation. It can be said that they complement each other. When Hanba's level is improved, your cultivation is also enhanced. Your Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils are stimulated by Hanba's fire, and new abilities are derived."

"You have gained the power of clairvoyance."

"You can see through barriers made of metal, stone, and iron, and peek at what's hidden underneath, but you can't see through barriers like silk fabrics, flesh, and skin." "You used your talent of Fiery Eyes to discover that beneath the soil of the Hall of Withered Bones, there seemed to be something buried, emitting an extremely cold aura, somewhat similar to the Netherworld Fire, but less fierce and more majestic and righteous."

"Do you want to dig up the soil and get that thing out?"

When Jiang Xinghuo saw that there was an unexpected gain, he chose yes without hesitation.

"You summoned the gold-touching beast in the cave and controlled it to dig deep into the ground. It soon dug out an icy iron box. The claws of the gold-touching beast touched the iron box, but instead of damaging it, it froze its nails. The gold-touching beast cried out in pain and drilled back into your cave."

Upon seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo immediately activated Molong A Tai and healed the wounds of the Mojin beast, and then looked at the iron box.

"You feel that the temperature above the iron box is extremely low. You rely on the power of Kanshui of the Xiantian Bagua to barely get close to the iron box without being hurt by the low temperature it emits."

"Do you want to open this tin box right away?"

"You opened the iron box and found that what was stored in the box was actually a set of icy armor parts, which were engraved with various talisman patterns and a large number of lunar patterns. The material was actually forged from fragments of the lunar meteorite."

"You have triggered the Folklore and Strange Tales."

"You have seen records of similar treasures in this book that records the stories and anecdotes of the secular world."

"It is said that there was once a Taoist named Zhenyang in the Maoshan Sect Altar. He was proficient in the Taiyin Form Refining Method and once refined more than a dozen bronze-armored corpses. He used them to roam the secular world for many years."

"But later he was tricked and not only did he lose control of the bronze-armored corpses, he was also bitten by a zombie. The corpse poison invaded his blood and turned him into a zombie."

"In order to remove the corpse poison in his body, Taoist Zhen Yang came up with a method of letting his Yang Spirit leave his body and induce the sun's fire to burn his body, thus removing the corpse poison. As a result, he accidentally turned himself into a different kind of Hanba zombie, with the body and abilities of a zombie, while also maintaining his own thinking and wisdom."

"But the sequelae is that the body is burning with an inextinguishable solar fire all year round. Any creature that comes close to it will be burned to ashes, or become its zombie followers."

"In order to suppress the heavenly fire in his body, Taoist Zhen Yang found fragments of the Taiyin meteorite and forged them into a suit of armor. He used the power of extreme yin to suppress the yang fire in his body, and only then could he barely come into contact with others."

"Later, the Maoshan Sect encountered an incident, and most of the elders in the sect were killed or injured, including this Taoist Zhenyang. Afterwards, some people wanted to find Taoist Zhenyang's Taiyin Armor, but they couldn't find it at all. Unexpectedly, Taoist Zhenyang took it to the Taishan Hell and buried it underground, and you got it."

"You have obtained the Taiyin Armor."

"Taiyin Armor (rare item), armor forged from Taiyin meteorite fragments. It can give the wearer the ability to resist high temperatures, but it can also give the wearer frostbite from low temperatures, and can even freeze the wearer to death."

"Attention, in addition to offsetting the damage caused by the high temperature of the flame, the Taiyin Armor can also be used as a sealing item, which can reduce the activity of an item to a minimum, thus preventing it from getting out of control and causing harm to the user."

"Do you want to equip the Taiyin Armor immediately?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose no.

He is not affected by the high temperature now. If he chooses to equip this item, he will probably freeze to death immediately.

Put this item away and continue exploring.

"Under the leadership of Hanba, you went to other places..."

Within the next two days.

Jiang Xinghuo stayed in Taishan Hell all the time, and found many zombie souls with the help of Hanba, and Hanba's level of cultivation was also rising rapidly.

Today, Hanba has grown from a five or six-year-old child to a teenager, and the ferocious aura on his body is getting stronger and stronger. To be on the safe side, Jiang Xinghuo also added a rare quality God-Binding Immortal Talisman, for fear that Hanba will lose control and escape from his body. Who knows how many people will be killed when he runs out.

"You found a piece of undigested zombie bone under the long-dried Yellow Spring."

"Zombie Unbreakable Bone (special material). The piece of unbreakable bone left on the zombie's body is also the place where its spirit was infused when it was alive. According to legend, if a zombie wants to cultivate into a corpse immortal, it must transform all the tendons and bones in its body into unbreakable bones. Weapons forged with unbreakable bones are not only extremely hard, but also have the ability to self-repair."

"You discovered a shrine left by Fengdu in the place where the incorruptible bones were excavated. However, this shrine does not have the function of teleporting people to the outside world. It can only teleport people to a small cave opened up by Fengdu. Do you want to go forward and light it up?"

found it!
When Jiang Xinghuo saw the description in the game text, he knew that he had come to the place where the God-Slaying Sword was stored, but he did not expect that Fengdu had actually opened up a small cave here. It really regarded Taishan Hell as its back garden. It was probably because the Lord of Taishan had no extra energy and lost control of Taishan Hell, otherwise such a small cave would have been discovered long ago.

"You lit up the Fengdu shrine."

"An inexplicable force enveloped your body, and your soul left your body and entered the void."

"The Void Cave Heaven, this is a mysterious cave heaven opened up by Fengdu using the law of space. Only the soul form can enter it, and the flesh and blood body cannot enter at all."

"Your soul entered the Void Cave Heaven and found a transparent long sword suspended in the air. It was the God-Slaying Sword left by Fengdu."

"Do you want to step forward and take off this knife?"

"You floated in front of this ethereal long sword and were about to take it off, but the long sword instantly merged into your body."

"You have received a message from Fengdu."

"It turns out that this God-Slaying Sword is not a real weapon, but a manifestation of power. You can integrate it into any weapon, or even into your own limbs, and it can exert the effect of the God-Slaying Sword."

"But this God-Slaying Sword can only be used three times. After use, it will automatically dissipate and turn into spiritual energy to feed back into itself."

"Pay attention, the God-Slaying Sword is only effective against gods born and raised in the secular world. It has no effect on monsters and demons bred by blood, and cannot cause any harm to them at all..."
