My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 748: The Tomb Master and the Lord of Mount Tai
Jiang Xinghuo understood.

This God-Slaying Sword is actually a targeted prop. It is only useful against the mountain gods and river gods that were born and raised by nature. It has no effect on other monsters and demons.

But this was enough for Jiang Xinghuo. He didn't expect to kill everyone with this sword. As long as he could kill Queen Taishan, it would be enough. At least he could injure her a little.

Otherwise it would be really uncomfortable to feel suffocated.

However, apart from the zombie souls and the God-Slaying Sword, this trip was not without some gains. At least the origin of the underworld was clear.

He found that he had underestimated the ghosts and gods in the secular world. He did not expect that the underworld, where the dead went to rest, would actually be a signpost set up by other people.

In essence, it is just a paradise.

I just don’t know who the real owner of the underworld is. Could it be those powerful people from ancient times in the mortal world?

Among the strong men at the level of Shanhe Jishi Zhenjun, the only one who has a connection with the underworld is Tu Bo.

Could it be that the real owner of the underworld is Tu Bo?

Of course, it is not ruled out that the master of the underworld is some unknown powerful being, who, like Fengdu, may have survived the previous secular civilization.

"You have left, the void."

"Your soul returned to your body, but just as you came to your senses, you discovered a figure not far away."

"Although this figure looks like an ordinary person, if you observe carefully, you will find that there is no life in this person. His expression is dull and sluggish, just like a walking corpse, wandering around in hell unconsciously."

"Hanba stared at the figure with fear and roared a few times. You immediately understood what Hanba meant and also knew the true identity of the figure."

"This seemingly harmless figure is actually the body of a corpse immortal!"

"That is a zombie that has truly reached its peak. However, the consciousness that controls this body has almost been worn out over the long years. Only the last bit of remaining spiritual consciousness controls the body to wander around here."

"Moreover, when this corpse immortal body turned around and walked away, you discovered that there was a brass talisman embedded behind its head. The cinnabar cloud on it kept flashing red light, vaguely forming the shape of a millstone, constantly grinding away the trace of spiritual light in the corpse immortal body."

"What are your options next?"

"Will you choose to follow immediately and see where this corpse fairy wants to go? Or will you choose to take another path and avoid dealing with this corpse fairy as much as possible?"

The game gave two options, and Jiang Xinghuo chose to follow the corpse fairy without any hesitation.

This obviously triggered a new plot clue. How could he possibly turn it away? He had to follow it and see where it wanted to go.

"You chose to follow behind this corpse-like body."

"This corpse fairy also ignored you. The only remaining intelligence it has now cannot allow it to make higher-level judgments and actions. It can only rely on a trace of instinct to control its body."

"But if you can remove the talisman behind his head, there may be hope of awakening him from his confusion."

"It can be said that a terrifying monster like the Corpse Immortal has no weaknesses at all. Even if there is only a trace of consciousness left, it can recover in an instant. But the prerequisite is that you have to take off the strange brass talisman."

"How do you plan to deal with the situation now? Do you want to try to remove the brass talisman embedded behind the corpse fairy's head?"

"Be careful, that brass talisman is suspected to be condensed by the Lord of Hell at Mount Tai. If you choose to take that talisman, it is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the Lord of Mount Tai, and forming a great cause and effect with him."

"The Queen of Mount Tai can also use the fragments of the law of cause and effect in her body to track the cause and effect line between you and the Hell of Mount Tai, and lock onto your position and aura at any time. No hiding method can be hidden from the Queen of Mount Tai's perception."

"So what are your plans now?"

Looking at the prompt message in the game text, Jiang Xinghuo ignored it completely, as if Queen Taishan would let him go if he didn't get involved in the matter.

Since he has been trapped here, the two sides have become enemies, so why be polite!
Moreover, he was planning to use the God-Slaying Sword to kill the Queen of Mount Tai after he left here, so how could he succumb to the potential threat from the Lord of Mount Tai?

Besides, the real owner of Taishan Hell is in trouble now.

If he dares to show up and cause trouble for me, I will immediately activate the authority of the King of the Underworld and summon the real master of the underworld. It is hard to say who will be in trouble then.

"You activated the Five Ghosts Moving Technique."

"You tried to move the brass talisman embedded behind the corpse fairy's head into your own hands, but the brass talisman did not move at all. Instead, it emitted a red light that backfired on you."

"You have been cursed by the Lord of Mount Tai."

"Your vitality is affected by the curse and begins to decline rapidly..."

"Current health: 65%."

"The fragment of the Golden Law in your body sensed the threat and automatically activated the relevant ability to dispel the curse."

Mr. Taishan Mansion?

Is this the true title of the Lord of Tarzan Hell?

Jiang Xinghuo slapped his head.
How could he have neglected this? He should have thought of it earlier.

In the ancient legends of the Earth, there are only a few rulers of the underworld.

Before Buddhism was introduced to China, the main gods were the King of Fengdu, the Lord of Mount Tai, the Five Ghost Emperors, Shentu and Yulei.

After Buddhism was introduced into China, the legends of the Ten Kings of Hell and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva gradually emerged, and the theories of the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Eighteen Levels of Hell also gradually took shape.

As the name suggests, Lord Taishan is an ancient god whose temple is located in Mount Tai.

But he remembered that the position of Lord of Mount Tai seemed to be rotated. To put it simply, there was only one Lord of Mount Tai, but many people could take up this position.

A new term is taken approximately every five hundred years.

I don’t know whether the Lord of Mount Tai on Earth is related to the Lord of Mount Tai in the secular world.

But he guessed that there was probably some connection.

maybe,
The legend of the Lord of Mount Tai on Earth was created by this person in the secular world.

"You were forced back by the curse left by the Lord of Mount Tai. Will you continue to follow this corpse fairy?"

Jiang Xinghuo still chose yes.

for the next few hours.

The game is almost in a half-idle state, with the character just following the corpse fairy without triggering any complicated plot.

Jiang Xinghuo tried several times using various methods, but failed to take the brass talisman off. Instead, he was repeatedly harmed by the curse left by the Lord of Mount Tai. If it were not for the Golden Law that could ignore these curses, he would have died several times already.

It was not until the evening when Jiang Xinghuo closed the shop door and was about to take a break that the subsequent text content came from the game.

"You followed the corpse fairy and wandered aimlessly, and finally came to a grave."

"It looks like a dilapidated, withered grave. The stone tablet in front of the grave has long been broken into pieces, and the grave has also collapsed for the most part. But you can vaguely see a rusty iron coffin inside, with chains as thick as arms wrapped around it, which seems to be sealing and imprisoning something."

"You have triggered the talent of Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils."

"You discovered through your piercing eyes that there seemed to be a lifeless skeleton buried inside this coffin."

"The Corpse Immortal also stopped his endless wandering and sat cross-legged in front of the tomb like a gravekeeper."

"What are you going to choose now?"

"Will you try to take off the brass talisman from behind the corpse fairy's head again? Or will you go over and take out the iron coffin, open the chains on it, and see what's inside?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose to carry out the iron coffin.

He had tried several times to take off the brass talisman, but failed. It would probably be useless to try again, so he decided to see what was in the iron coffin first.

"You went over and lifted the iron coffin out of the tomb. The corpse fairy sitting in front of the tomb did not stop you. Instead, he pointed at the broken stone tablet."

"You found an equally rusty iron key under a large number of stone tablet fragments. It should be the key to unlock the chain on the coffin."

"You used the key to unlock the chains on the iron coffin and removed the heavy chains from the coffin. Then you opened the coffin lid, revealing the white bones inside."

"But at the moment the skeleton appeared before your eyes, the whole hell suddenly began to shake, as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had occurred, but it soon returned to its original state, as if nothing had ever happened."

"At this moment, the dormant fragments of the burial law in your body suddenly became active for some reason, and resonated with the corpse in the coffin in some sense."

"You discovered the identity of this corpse through the resonance."

"You have discovered the remains of the tomb owner."

"You have obtained the tomb master's last words."

"The tomb master is a powerful person who has survived countless civilizations and is also the holder of the tomb law."

"The tomb owner said in his last words that he and the Lord of Mount Tai were once close friends, but the Lord of Mount Tai attempted to seize the tomb law in his body, so he buried him in this hell and killed him."

"In order to prevent the Taishan Lord's conspiracy from succeeding, the tomb owner broke the tomb laws into pieces before his death and threw them into different places in the secular world, including the exile place on the other side of the starry sky. Only less than 10% of the law fragments remained."

"If this remaining fragment of the law falls into the hands of other people, it can naturally greatly improve their cultivation and strength."

"But it is of no use to the Lord of Mount Tai, because the law of the tomb silences all things, which can easily conflict with his own power."

"So the Lord of Mount Tai buried the corpse of the tomb owner and the fragments of the law here, and suppressed them with a lonely grave to vent his resentment and anger."

“But even though the centipede is dead, it is still alive. Although the tomb owner is dead, the fragments of the tomb law in his body have been preserved and have had an impact on the surrounding area.”

"The corpse immortal who brought you here also relied on the power of the laws of the tomb to barely suppress the brass talisman's obliteration of his consciousness."

"What are you going to choose now?"

"Do you want to immediately fuse the fragments of the tomb law in the tomb master's body?"

Jiang Xinghuo's heart began to pound, and his eyes were filled with excitement that was hard to conceal. The law of tombs was one of the rare ownerless laws in the secular world.

In other words, whoever gets it owns it. As long as a benchmark can be established based on the laws of tombs, it will cause absolute suppression to other law holders.

And there is no need to worry about being possessed by the Lord of Law.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo chose to fuse the law fragments without hesitation.

The Lord of Mount Tai did not hesitate to stab the tomb owner in the back for this, but in the end he was just making wedding dresses for others and gave himself the fragments of the law for nothing.

It really proves the old saying, it's all about fate.

"You chose to fuse the fragments of the law."

"In the process of merging, please wait..."

"The fusion is complete."

"You have obtained the Law of the Tomb (9.3791%)."

"You can begin to use the power of the law."

"You have obtained the talent of law: forbidden field."

"After you activate the Tomb Law, a Tomb Forbidden Law field will be formed within a hundred meters with you as the center. Within this field, the power of all spells will be weakened by 70%, or even completely banned and unusable."

"Please note that the duration and scope of the forbidden law field have nothing to do with your cultivation level, but they are closely related to the completeness of the law. With the completeness of the law you have at the moment, it can only last for about ten minutes at most. After ten minutes, the forbidden law field will be automatically lifted."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the contents of the game text and was suddenly overjoyed. He tried to activate the authority of the burial law, and saw a lot of dead graves appearing on the ground, turning the huge living room into a gloomy mass grave.

The coverage area of ​​this mass grave is the forbidden area formed by the law talent.

Jiang Xinghuo experienced the innate ability of the law and became familiar with the general usage before continuing to look at the game text.

"What are you going to choose now?"

"Do you want to try to take off the brass talisman from behind the corpse fairy's head again?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes.

He wanted to see if the laws of tombs could resist the curse left by the Lord of Mount Tai.

"You unleashed the forbidden domain of the burial law, wrapping the corpse immortal's body in it. The cinnabar cloud on the brass talisman also quickly became dim and no longer as bright as before."

"You walked closer and tried to take off the brass talisman behind the corpse fairy's head. This time, you didn't have to use much strength to take the talisman off the back of the corpse fairy's head."

"You have obtained the Grindstone Talisman."

"Grindstone Talisman (Epic Item), a talisman forged by the Lord of Mount Tai using the corpse of the Six Heavens Ghost God 'General Mo'. As long as it is attached to a living being, it can continuously grind away its soul and consciousness until the day when the soul and consciousness completely dissipate, but it will not cause the slightest damage to the body."

"You removed the shackles from the corpse fairy, and I saw a strong yin energy sweeping in from all directions. The corpse of the tomb owner on the ground was also turned into powder, which was swept by the yin energy and merged into the body of the corpse fairy, becoming nutrients for it to restore its own vitality."
