My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 755 Will I be so awesome in the future?
"You followed the instructions of the Red Book and Iron Certificate and moved forward. But when you passed a courtyard, you suddenly heard someone calling your name. It wasn't a female ghost calling for your life, but a voice that sounded quite reassuring. However, the voice seemed a little far away and vague."

"Of course, this could be a deliberate attempt by the other party to lure you back and be deceived. So do you want to risk your life and go in the direction of the sound to have a look?"

Jiang Xinghuo took one look and thought that based on his understanding of the game, it was most likely a trap.

However, it is not ruled out that an unexpected plot is triggered, so no matter what the situation is, he has to go and take a look. He is not afraid of it being a trap, but he is afraid of missing out on an unexpected plot mission.

"You chose to explore the direction where the sound came from."

"You walked towards the darkness following the sound of the call, turning left and right and passing through several alleys, and finally arrived in front of a house. The call came from this house. Do you want to go in and find out what's going on?"

"You pushed open the door and walked into the house. Suddenly, you felt a blur in front of your eyes. Countless cold air surged out from all around, wrapping you tightly in it."

Bad luck!

As soon as Jiang Xinghuo saw the description in the game text, he knew that his life might be lost here, but unexpectedly, the game character was not affected at all. The game text that popped up next also made him feel strange and unexpected.

"You are caught in the cold air, and all you see is the wind and snow blowing in the sky, blocking your vision. When the wind and snow dissipate, a completely unfamiliar scene appears in front of you."

"Normally, when you push the door and walk into the courtyard, you should see a courtyard and a house, but what appears before your eyes is a deserted mountain and a dilapidated temple. The surrounding environment is not a courtyard, but an endless wilderness. White snow is falling from the gray sky. Two red lanterns are hanging on the fence outside the dilapidated temple, swaying in the wind. It's as if you have come to another world."

"And the vague calling voice also became clear at this moment. It came from the dilapidated temple in front of you. The other party seemed to know you very well. The name he called you was changed to Tiangang Emperor. He humbly begged you to come into the temple to have a chat."

Seeing this text, Jiang Xinghuo was stunned. Tiangang Emperor? What's going on?
This name is just a joke he made to himself.

And this idea just came up today, how come someone in the game knows about it?

Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

This dilapidated temple is really weird.

But now that he was here, he had no reason to leave. Besides, even if he wanted to leave, others might not let him do so.

"What are you going to choose now?"

"Do you want to enter the temple and meet the unknown creature who calls you 'Tian Gang Great Emperor'?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without much hesitation.

"You walked on the snow towards the dilapidated temple in front of you, pushed open the rotten fence door, and caught a glimpse of a stone well next to it, with broken stones around it. Do you want to go over and take a look first?"

"You walked to the side of the stone well and looked inside. You saw that there was nothing at the bottom of the well. The remaining water had long since turned into ice. But you noticed that there were iron rings nailed to the sides of the well wall with iron chains coiled around them. It seemed that someone had been imprisoned there. You could vaguely see talismans and spells on the broken stones on the ground, but they had long since become blurred and had lost their original effect."

"You left the well and walked into the dilapidated temple. The architecture inside the temple was also very simple. The hanging prayer flags were faded and torn, the altar was covered with dust, and even the statues on the throne were broken into pieces. It looked like it had been abandoned for hundreds or thousands of years."

"But the voice that called you over disappeared without a trace at this moment, as if it had never appeared."

"What are you going to do next?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought for a moment, took out some paper money from his magic bag, and then found some offerings and incense sticks for sacrifice. Finally, he found some Guanyin soil and rootless water, then clicked on the text and selected Submit for use.

"You used rootless water and Guanyin soil to fill most of the cracks on the statue, and then burned the paper money in the brazier in front of the altar. Finally, you placed the offerings on the altar and lit three incense sticks."

"However, you found that the other paper money and treasures burned very quickly, and the offerings also lost moisture at a speed visible to the naked eye. Only the three incense sticks could not be lit no matter what. It seemed that the other party was unwilling to accept your incense."

"After waiting for a while, the voice sounded again. It first expressed its gratitude to you, and then explained that it was not that it was unwilling to accept your incense, but that it did not dare to accept your incense. After all, the difference in status between the two of you was too great."

After reading this text, Jiang Xinghuo felt more and more puzzled. He was just an ordinary person, how could he have any status? If he really had some extraordinary identity, how could he be killed by so many different methods?

"You also learned the identity of this voice during your conversation. It turns out that it is the chief priest of this 'Wind and Snow Prison' - the Great Wind God."

"According to the Great Wind God, the Snow Wind Prison was one of the nine prisons in the Demon Hunting Division back then. It was also the prison cave heaven that you in the future used the power of time and space to travel to the past and help the Lord of the Secular World build with your own hands. Its original power is a fragment of a cave heaven of the same level as the underworld."

This short sentence was like a bolt from the blue to Jiang Xinghuo, because too much information was revealed between the lines.

Future self?
Travel back to the past with the power of time and space?

Helped the Lord of the Secular World to create this so-called Wind and Snow Prison?
And the materials used are actually the same level of cave fragments as those in the underworld?

Will I be this awesome in the future?

Jiang Xinghuo suddenly understood why the other party called him Tiangang Emperor. Could this title really be his future honorific title?

Or... is all this just made up by the Great Wind God in front of us?
He deliberately said these nonsense to disturb my mind, hoping to make me get carried away and fall into his trap?
No, we should be more cautious about this matter. We can't believe everything others say. That would make us a fool. "The Great Wind God saw your expression and knew that you had doubts about his words. After all, traveling through time and space is too unbelievable. But you did control the power of time through the power of the Great Disaster God and the Legendary Lamp. And your future self left a treasure in the Snow Wind Prison. It was a gift from your future self to your present self."

Tsk, it's getting more and more outrageous, but Jiang Xinghuo actually believed what the other party said, because the Great Disaster God and the Heirloom Lamp involve the authority of time, which no one except himself should know.

Taking a step back, even if someone knew that these two things involved the authority of time, they might not know that they possessed these two things.

Also, the Great Wind God is trapped here, and I have never had any contact with it before. How could it know that I have these two things?
"The Great Wind God said that the thing is under a dead tomb behind the temple. You can go and look for it yourself later. Anyway, the Wind and Snow Prison is one of the hells under your control. It is just handed over to the Demon Hunting Bureau for use."

"The Demon Hunting Department has nine prisons, each of which suppresses monsters of different attributes and races. The Wind and Snow Prison holds the vicious races such as Rakshasas and Yakshas. There is continuous wind and snow in the Wind and Snow Prison all year round, and the cold air is bone-chilling. This can suppress the evil spirits in the bodies of the Rakshasas and Yakshas to the greatest extent, and they cannot escape from here at all."

"This situation continued until after dawn, when the entrance to the outside world of the Snow Wind Prison was opened. The Rakshasas and Yakshas imprisoned here fled from the Demon Hunting Division one after another. Even the Rakshasas and Yakshas Kings imprisoned in the Demon Sealing Well broke free from the seal and restraints."

"The Great Wind God originally wanted to stop those ghosts and gods from escaping from this place, but in the end he was severely injured by the mysterious man, and his own spirit was refined to only a trace, so he could only hide in the statue to linger."

"And the Snow Wind Prison was forcibly brought here from the Forbidden City by that person. He originally wanted to take this treasure for himself, but it was incapable of destroying the origin mark left by your future self, so he had to seal it in a dark place in the city."

"It also sensed your presence and woke up from its confusion and called out to you. If you hadn't come here to restore its incense, I'm afraid it would have continued to sink into endless depravity."

"After you listened to the Great Wind God's story, you asked who the mysterious person who injured him was. The Great Wind God said that he was just guessing and could not confirm the true identity of that person for the time being. The other party was most likely a dragon master in the Dragon Guard Court."

"There are five dragon masters in the Dragon Guard Court, all of whom are royal relatives. The Great Dragon Master is the Great Clan Leader of the previous generation. According to seniority, he is also the direct uncle of the Lord of the Secular World. Apart from him, the other four dragon masters could be the murderer."

"It can sense that there are two dragon auras entwined in the east and west of Luosha City. That should be their hiding place, but you don't have the means to fight them now, so it's best not to confront them head-on."

"Moreover, the curse that the secular world places on the exile is the best protection for you. No matter what time it is, do not abandon this identity. This is also the warning that the future you asked the Great Wind God to pass on to you."

Jiang Xinghuo sensed something was wrong. If everything the Great Wind God said was true, then it seemed that his future self had lifted the curse of the Exile?

In fact, if he wanted to lift the curse, he really had a chance to do it.

When he first entered the City of Origin, he obtained a magical item called Tears of the Stars.

"Tears of the Stars (Legendary Consumable Material), a rare material created after the death of a star. As long as you go to Yanbo Terrace to offer sacrifices to the sky on a full moon night, you can redeem all your sins and all hostility will be wiped out, because in the distant past, the stars were the creations that controlled the fate of all things."

This item can redeem all of one's sins and hostility, and naturally remove the curse imposed on humans by the secular world.

Could it be that my future self has found the legendary Yanbo Terrace and activated its effect to lift the curse imposed on me by the secular world?
Although this material is a good thing, it also depends on where it is used. The reason why players can explore the game unscrupulously without worrying about death is because of the curse of the secular world.

This curse may be a curse or torture to other earthly creatures, but it is the best trump card for players. They can do whatever they want without worrying about any impact on themselves.

"After the Great Wind God finished telling these past events, he took out a corpse from his statue. It was the skeleton left behind by an ancient god after his death. You felt the power of extreme attributes such as strong death, frost, freezing, and withering from it."

"The Great Wind God said that this is the origin of the Snow Wind Prison, and it is also a rare treasure that you personally refined with the bones of the ancient god. The entire Snow Wind Prison was evolved from the power of this skeleton. As long as you integrate it into your body, you can regain control of the Snow Wind Prison. Now it only has a trace of residual soul left. It is unknown how long it will take to restore its former power. The Snow Wind Prison is useless to it, but it can be of great help to you now."

"What are you going to do now?"

"Do you want to take over the Snow and Wind Prison essence transformed from the ancient god's skeleton and integrate it into your body?"

Jiang Xinghuo fell into deep thought.

The biggest problem that bothers him now is the truthfulness of the words of the Great Wind God. If the other party is telling the truth, then it will naturally not have any impact on him. But what if the other party wants to deceive him?

If I integrate the essence of the Wind and Snow Prison and it results in an adverse effect on myself, what should I do next?
Jiang Xinghuo thought for a while, and suddenly remembered that the Great Wind God said that his future self left good things for his present self, so why not go and see what it is? If it is really an incredible treasure, it will be enough to prove that what the Great Wind God said is true.

"You temporarily rejected the Origin of Hell in the hands of the Great Wind God, which means that this matter is not urgent. Anyway, you will not leave the Wind and Snow Prison for the time being. Let its soul rest well first, and then we can leave when we are ready."

Then, Jiang Xinghuo found medicine to nourish the soul from the magic bag, clicked on the text and gave it to the Great Wind God, causing its soul to fall into a deep sleep and slowly recover.

"Where are you going next?"

"Would you choose to go to the withered tomb behind the temple to find out what's going on? Or would you choose to wander around in the Snow Prison?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose the first answer.

"You chose to explore the withered tomb behind the temple."

"You left the ruined temple and walked towards the place the Great Wind God mentioned. The deeper you went, the heavier the snow became. Finally, the whole city was covered with snow. You could only vaguely see a lonely tomb at the end of the snow."
