My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 763 The Queen who gives birth to a child
"Will you choose to give in, leave the temple in disgrace, and hide aside to watch the fun? Or will you choose to fight back and say that I can do whatever I want without the nagging of a stinky pig-killer?"

Jiang Xinghuo took one look and chose the latter without a second thought.

"When the butcher heard what you said, he immediately flew into a rage. He really didn't take your little arms and legs seriously. It just so happened that the butcher shop had run out of stock recently. Although you are a little thin, your heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys can be used. The Exile also has a unique flavor and is very popular with some customers."

"The butcher swung the butcher knife in his hand and chopped it down at you, but you didn't even try to dodge. You directly broke his wrist and took the butcher knife from his hand."

"You have obtained the butcher's knife."

"Butcher's Pig-Knife (Excellent Item), a butcher's special pig-killing knife that has been passed down for more than three generations. It has a built-in memory of livestock anatomy and can easily cut off livestock limbs."

"What are you going to do next?"

"Do you want to use your butcher knife to hit it and kill the butcher's worthless life?"

Jiang Xinghuo directly chose no.

Of course, he didn't want to let the butcher go. It was mainly because it would be too easy to kill him.

It still needs to be made to understand that it deserves what it sows. Since the other party makes a living by selling its own children, its life will naturally be taken by its own children.

Jiang Xinghuo opened the backpack panel and found a potion from the void drawer.

"The improved fertility and good fortune medicine (excellent consumable item) was originally a normal fertility and good fortune medicine, but after being improved by the little medicine god, it unexpectedly underwent some kind of mutation. Not only is the efficiency extremely high, but the speed is also extremely fast. Pregnancy occurs in one day, birth occurs in two days, and adulthood occurs in three days. However, the child born is a debt collector. The first thing it does after growing up is to kill its own parents and relatives, and then transform into a real demon monster that does not recognize any relatives."

"Do you want to give this potion to the butcher?"

This medicine was obtained by Jiang Xinghuo from a dead monster when he was exploring the mining city. At that time, he felt that the ability of this medicine was a bit strange, so he kept it on himself. It was just right for giving it to the butcher and his family, who were so unscrupulous.

Aren’t they selling their own children for money? This time, let the debt collectors they gave birth to seek justice.

"Are you going to submit your fertility medicine to the butcher?"

"You reconnected the butcher's broken wrist and gave it this medicine. Of course, you didn't explain the hidden dangers. You just told it that it would be able to give birth to the baby in less than three days. Then you can get as much money as you want and you don't have to come to the Niangniang Temple to cause trouble again."

"When the butcher's family heard about this, they were so happy that their faces almost bloomed. The gossipy women also let the temple priest go, and surrounded the butcher and left, intending to go back and give birth to the baby immediately. They didn't even have time to thank you."

Jiang Xinghuo thought that there was no need to be so polite. These pieces of material wouldn't live for many more days anyway, so he might as well consider it as doing a good deed to accumulate merit.

"Without the excitement to watch, the citizens around have also left. The temple priest came to you in a panic and saluted. He smiled bitterly and said that the secular world is now in chaos and evil spirits are rampant. All kinds of people can be seen. No wonder the Goddess of Childbirth is unwilling to show her spirit. It is hard to say whether it is a blessing or a curse to be born in such a chaotic and turbulent world."

"It is precisely because of this that the power of the Goddess of Childbirth is gradually weakening. The Goddess of Childbirth, who holds the power of childbirth, derives all her power from the birth of offspring. Once this concept is violated, it means that the power of the Goddess of Childbirth is weakened, and other demons will appear in the secular world who want to compete with the Goddess of Childbirth for the power of childbirth."

"The potion you just sent out should be the work of a powerful person who had this idea. He subtly influenced the pharmacist who made the potion, thereby expanding his influence. If you meet these people in the future, remember to be careful and never take it lightly."

"The temple keeper picked up the doll on the ground and placed it in front of the shrine of the Goddess of Childbirth. A faint incense power emanated from the statue and enveloped the doll."

"Then, the temple keeper invited you to the inner hall and said that he heard from the captain of the corpse recovery team that you wanted to find the whereabouts of the dragon head guillotine and the tiger head guillotine."

"It doesn't know the whereabouts of the Tiger-Head Guillotine, but the Dragon-Head Guillotine is buried in the basement of the Niangniang Temple. It was placed there by the Niangniang Goddess of Childbirth herself. No one except the temple priests of all generations knows that the Dragon-Head Guillotine is buried under the temple. It can give it to you, but you have to tell it what you want the Dragon-Head Guillotine to do."

"The Goddess of Childbirth left a message that if future generations want to obtain the Dragon Head Guillotine, they must pass her test. You must tell us the reason why you use the Dragon Head Guillotine."

"What are your options next?"

"Will you choose to tell the truth about the mastermind behind Luosha City? Or will you choose to kill the temple keeper in front of you and go find the dragon head guillotine yourself?"

"Anyway, you already know that the Dragon Head Chopper is placed in the basement of the Goddess of Childbirth Temple. You can spend some time looking for it yourself. There is no need to pin all your hopes on others."

Jiang Xinghuo faces two choices: tell the truth or kill the temple keeper.

After a moment's hesitation, Jiang Xinghuo chose the former and told him about Rakshasa City.

The priest of the Temple of the Goddess of Childbirth was one of the few kind faces he had met in the secular world, and he really didn't want to fall out with this priest.

Besides, this is not a big deal, and it doesn’t matter even if the temple keeper is told the truth.

"You chose to tell the truth."

"You deleted some key points of what you found in Luosha City and told the temple keeper everything else."

"After hearing what you said, the temple keeper nodded and took you to the statue of the Goddess of Childbirth. He lit incense and opened a secret door. The winding stone steps extended into the darkness, leading to the unknown darkness. Do you want to go in and find out?"

"Be careful, once you enter this secret door, you are likely to fall into a conspiracy trap. If the temple keeper wants to harm you, you will be completely in a passive position."

"The temple keeper said that what you want is down there, but there is a forbidden test left by the Goddess of Childbirth. Whether you can get the dragon head guillotine hidden down there depends on your ability."

Jiang Xinghuo chose to go down without hesitation.

Whether there is a trap or a mountain of swords and a pot of oil below, since he has come here, there is no reason to retreat. The worst result is that he will lose his life.

"You entered the secret passage."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the text prompt, opened the skill panel, found the Realm of Life, and clicked to use it.

"You walked down the stone steps, activated the talent of the Realm of Life, gave this secret passage temporary life, and were sent directly to the end of the secret passage. But a clay statue of the Goddess of Childbirth blocked your way."

"Moreover, this statue is actually rapidly transforming from a clay body to a flesh and blood body. In the blink of an eye, it has become a living person."

"You have discovered the clone of the Goddess of Childbirth."

Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but gasp, thinking that this was something he had not expected, the incarnation of the Goddess of Fertility actually appeared here!
Is it because the Realm of Life activated the statue?
This reminded Jiang Xinghuo that although the Life Realm could give life to dead things, he still had to be cautious when using items like statues. Who knew if activating these statues would attract the attention of the real owner, and wouldn't that bring him trouble? !
"The incarnation of the Goddess of Childbirth looks at you kindly and benevolently, without a trace of malice, as if she is looking at her own junior."

"You find that the Goddess of Childbirth in front of you is completely different from the Goddesses of Childbirth you have met before. Although they look the same, the temperaments they exude are different."

"This Goddess of Childbirth said that the Goddess of Childbirth you met before was actually her doppelganger, a version of herself from another timeline."

“But the Goddess of Childbirth was accepted as a disciple by the Goddess of Heaven, who wanted to seize her power and authority, so the two of them have been fighting in different time dimensions.

"This time, she also sensed the aura of humans and the King of the Underworld, which is why she sent a little distraction here."

"She thought it was the reincarnation of some king of the underworld who came here, but she didn't expect it to be an old compatriot from the land of exile." Huh?
Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo was stunned for a moment, and captured several key pieces of information from the lines of the game text.

Doppelganger?
Exile?

Compatriots?

The Goddess of Childbirth is also a human being! ?
Jiang Xinghuo's mind moved, and he immediately took out the Sunshine, wanting to project his consciousness over.

However, as soon as Ri Sui's ability was activated, he only saw a beautiful woman in a silk dress. Before he could completely transfer his consciousness to her, he saw the Goddess of Childbirth raised her green jade finger and pointed at him. The projections around him suddenly exploded and shattered, and he returned to reality again.

Jiang Xinghuo picked up his phone and saw a new text message popped up.

"The Goddess of Childbirth shattered your Sunshine projection and said that before you become a Dao Master, you must not casually project yourself into the secular world, otherwise you will be easily targeted by those powerful people hiding in the dark, which will have an adverse effect on you."

The words of the Goddess of Childbirth are the same as what I left behind in the future. It seems that the Risui Projection really has great hidden dangers, at least when my strength is not enough.

"The Goddess of Childbirth knows that you are here to look for the Dragon Head Guillotine. She has already prepared something for you. It is in the secret room behind her. You can go in and get it in a while."

"As for the whereabouts of the Tiger-Head Guillotine, once you find the Dragon-Head Guillotine and the Tiger-Head Guillotine, these two guillotines will naturally guide you to find the third guillotine."

"In addition, the Goddess of Childbirth left you two gifts, which can be regarded as some gifts for meeting old friends."

"Old friend..."

Jiang Xinghuo was thoughtful

The Goddess of Childbirth mentioned her old friend twice.

This means that she should be familiar to me, but I am sure that I have never seen the Goddess of Fertility.

So the person who is familiar with the Goddess of Fertility is my future self?

"You have obtained a large bright flower (status item) and a small painting of a vast landscape (rare item)."

"Great Light Flower (status item), a unique item created by the Great Light Immortal. When you carry this flower with you, all aspects of your status attributes will be greatly improved. The more bright and righteous deeds you do, the stronger the attribute increase will be. There is almost no upper limit to the increase."

"The Great Light Immortal used this item to gain almost all the blessings in the secular world. No curses or negative attributes could cause any harm to him. In other words, only pure strength can defeat such a being."

"Do you want to equip this Great Light Flower immediately?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation.

"You are equipped with the Great Light Flower."

"Your physical attributes have been greatly improved in all aspects."

"But when your actions go against the essence of the Great Light Flower, your body's attributes will quickly decline until they disappear completely without a trace."

Moral corrector.

This is Jiang Xinghuo’s evaluation of this prop.

If you want to enhance your strength and attributes in all aspects, you have to do good deeds to gain blessings, otherwise this item will not have any effect.

He didn't expect to turn himself into a saint with this thing, but the stronger he could be, the better. Maybe that little bit of strength would be the key to decide victory or defeat.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo looked at the small painting of the vast landscape again.

"Small Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains (rare item), a prop formed by the fusion of a large number of cave heaven fragments. It does not have the ability to contain everything like a complete cave heaven, but it is more bizarre and changeable. It contains a large number of extreme cave heaven and blessed land fragments, such as glaciers, lava, hurricanes, lightning, oceans, tombs... and so on."

"It has been detected that you can integrate the Small Ten Thousand Miles River and Mountain Map into the Heavenly Soldiers Map, turning it into a Ten Directions Absolute Forbidden Domain to imprison all living things within it."

“Do you want to incorporate it into the Heavenly Soldiers Diagram?”

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation.

Since the Goddess of Childbirth is an old acquaintance of my future self, she probably gave me the Small River and Mountain Painting in the hope that I would integrate it into the Heavenly Soldiers Painting.

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

"The fusion is complete."

"The Ten Directions Absolute Forbidden Realm has taken shape."

"You can add scraps of various cave fragments to enhance the power of the Ten Directions Absolute Forbidden Domain in the future."

"What are you going to do next?"

"Will you choose to ask the Goddess of Childbirth if there is anything you can do to help her? Or will you continue to push for more?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose the former.

As a person, you should be tactful and know when to stop.

People have already given you two good things. If you continue to ask for more, you would be shameless.

Besides, she is in trouble now, fighting with another fertility goddess. Even if I can't help, I can't cause more trouble.

"When the Goddess of Childbirth heard what you said, she shook her head in satisfaction and said that it was a dispute between her and her doppelganger. Outsiders could not get involved, and it had to be resolved by her herself."

"If you want to help, if you encounter her doppelganger's dojo in the future, you can destroy it. Although it cannot affect the overall battle situation, it can ruin the calculations of the Queen Mother of Heaven."

"You have obtained the red hydrangea."

"Red hydrangea (special item), a hydrangea sewn by the Goddess of Childbirth herself. When you come across other temples of the Goddess of Childbirth, this red hydrangea can help you distinguish whether the temple is her temple or the temple of her doppelganger."
