My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 769 Tai Sui Celebration
"You learned about the Five Turbid Hells and how to enter them through this page of scriptures left by the Emperor of the Wheel of Time. What are you going to do next?"

"Will you choose to leave this Huangtian Houtu coffin here, or will you choose to take the coffin and the body inside away?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it for a moment and finally chose the former and did not take the coffin away from here.

First of all, he has obtained the most valuable thing, which is the location of the Five Turbidity Hells and the method to enter them.

Adding the nineteen demon-subduing heavenly generals on the surrounding walls, it can be said that his exploration of the resting place of the Chakravartin Emperor this time was fruitful.

There was no need to take away the coffin and the corpse of the King of the Wheel inside. Besides, the coffin and the corpse inside were prepared by the King of the Wheel for those ancient gods from outer space. If he took these two things away, not only would the King of the Wheel's plan be ruined, but it would also easily bring disaster upon himself and draw the attention of those ancient gods from outer space to himself.

No matter from which perspective, this is not a particularly cost-effective thing, so let's just leave this coffin here for now.

"You suppressed your greed and did not take these two things. Your choice also triggered the backup plan left by the Wheel-turning Emperor. A dim light flashed in the coffin, and a Wheel-turning Seal appeared in front of you."

"You have obtained the Wheel Seal."

"The Wheel Seal (special item). This Wheel Seal was made by the Wheel King with the authority of the King of the Underworld. It is also the embodiment of the authority of the Five Turbid Hells. If you don't have this Wheel Seal, the moment you enter the Five Turbid Hells, all your magic power will be cut off by the turbid air inside, and you will become an ordinary creature, and everything will have to start all over again."

Seeing this text, Jiang Xinghuo was suddenly shocked and couldn't help but take a breath, thinking that it was a close call. If he had been greedy and wanted to take the coffin and the corpse away together, he would be afraid that after entering the Five Turbidities Hell, all his magic power would be destroyed, and then the results of his practice for so long would disappear, and he would have to start all over again.

The nature of this wheel-turning seal is similar to his own pillar of fire, both of which are the embodiment of the authority of the King of the Underworld over the hell he rules.

In other words, with this product of the embodiment of authority, one can easily control the corresponding hell.

The game text is also continuing to advance.

"In addition, the Emperor of the Wheel of Time has left a Wheel of Time Curse on this coffin. No matter who it is, even if they really take the coffin away from here, the coffin will return to this tomb when the sun rises the next day."

"And they will randomly bring back something from the coffin snatcher. It could be a precious magical weapon, or it could be the life span and organs in the body. In short, no one else is allowed to touch this coffin."

"Your self-control saved you and also earned you the right to enter the Five Turbid Hells. The Five Turbid Hells mentioned in that page of the scripture are actually a desolate place in the underworld. Even if you are an exile cursed by the secular world, if you step into that desolate place, it will take at least half a year to escape."

"The real location and entrance of the Five Turbid Hells are all hidden in the Wheel Seal. You can find the Five Turbid Hells as long as you hold the Wheel Seal. You can choose to keep the page of the scripture for yourself, or put it back into the coffin. Anyway, only greedy people will fall for this trick, and it's not a pity to die."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the text in silence. Is this King of the Wheel a bad guy?

One thing leads to another, and every sentence seems to be true, but there is a conspiracy hidden in every sentence.

If I just get the things and leave without finding the wheel seal, I will be trapped in the underworld for half a year, and the progress of the game will be slowed down.

What makes Jiang Xinghuo even more embarrassed is, is this wheel seal really a symbol of authority of the Five Turbid Hells?
What if the Emperor of the Wheel of Time does something to trick people again?
Jiang Xinghuo felt a little worried.

He left the Nine-Death Cicada's husk at the Dragon Court ruins. He couldn't use the Nine-Death Cicada's clone, but it might be dangerous to go there with his real body. If he was really trapped there, it would be a waste of time.

"It seems that we still need to develop the Nine Deaths Cicada as soon as possible..."

Jiang Xinghuo made a secret decision in his mind.

The Nine-Death Cicada can differentiate into countless clones. It is really too lame that I only have one cicada shell now. I must create at least three or five cicada shell clones.

When the time comes, you can use a few in the secular world and a few in the underworld. While taking care of other things, you can also trigger and unlock more plots and mission clues.

As for how to advance the progress of the development of the Nine-Death Cicada, the goal still has to be placed on Lord Wu. He decided to go to Jiangnan City, which is governed by the God Tai Sui, and find the undertaker of the funeral home to see if there is any solution.

After all, the undertaker was a cicada shell clone of the Martial Lord, and he must know how to develop the Nine-Death Cicada.

"What are your options next?"

"You hear unusual noises coming from outside the mausoleum. The mausoleum keepers are controlling the mausoleum passages to form a complex terrain in order to deal with the outsiders who are about to enter. Do you choose to wait here for those people to come in and take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters? Or do you choose to leave here and explore other places?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and decided to stay here and take advantage of the situation.

Tianshi Fadao and Shifang Chanlin would never have imagined that there were other people secretly watching in this mausoleum, and they might be able to get some useful materials and props from them.

The most important thing is that he wanted to cause trouble for the people in Shifang Zen Temple.

The Emperor of the Wheel of Time has the Buddhist body of the Holy King of the Wheel of Time. If those bald guys discover something here, or get some inspiration for their practice, he will definitely be the one who suffers in the end, as he might even learn some of their skills.

"You deployed the dimensional technique and hid in the dark, waiting quietly."

Jiang Xinghuo controlled the character to enter the idle state.

Until late at night.

When the moon is at its zenith.

The subsequent game text was then sent from within the game.

"You heard a noisy noise coming from outside, and there were flashes of lightning and fire, as well as the sound of Buddhist chanting. The disciples of Tianshi Fadao and Shifang Zen Temple have already entered the depths of the mausoleum."

"But they obviously don't have as good luck as you. The tomb keepers control the terrain inside the mausoleum to change constantly. What was a way out one moment becomes a dead end the next. Conversely, where a dead end is blocked, a passable road appears."

"Over time, these people lost their patience and no longer followed a fixed route. Instead, they pushed forward all the way, using powerful spells to directly break through all the obstacles and headed straight for the main tomb chamber of the mausoleum."

"The tomb keeper can no longer stop such behavior. Do you want to call it back, so as not to lose its life for nothing?" Jiang Xinghuo chose yes. The tomb keeper has become his dependent, so he can't just sit back and watch it die.

Let’s first take a look at what those monks and Taoists want to do.

"You called back the tomb keeper."

"Without the obstruction of the tomb keepers, the speed of those monsters has also increased a lot. In a short while, the figures of more than a dozen monsters appeared in your field of vision."

"The leader of the Tianshi Fadao is the Taoist who studies scriptures, and the leader of the Shifang Chanlin is the monk who studies scriptures."

"The Heavenly Master Dharma and the Ten Directions Chan Monastery have both sent out the same type of monsters and demons. These two monsters and demons come from the same source and have a deep understanding and research of Buddhist allusions, scriptures, and related knowledge. As long as you read the scriptures once, you can understand the essence and mystery of them, and you can comprehend the related magic skills from them."

"The reason why these two forces sent them here is that they want to use their innate characteristics to find out the secrets that Emperor Zhuanlun left in this mausoleum."

“To take a step back, even if there are no substantial treasures here, as long as there are traces left by the Emperor of the Wheel, there is a great hope that these two monsters can crack the power that belongs exclusively to the Emperor of the Wheel.”

"However, the combat effectiveness of these two monsters is not that strong."

"Although they can decipher various potential magical powers, they themselves cannot practice those magic. The only thing they are good at is to deceive people and use Taoist and Buddhist scriptures to arouse people's desires. As long as you have a firm mind, you can easily resist their power."

"Do you want to deal with these monsters right away?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought for a moment and did not rush to attack them.

According to the talents described in the text, these two kinds of monsters can comprehend the power of the Emperor of the Wheel from the traces left by him. It will not be too late to take action after they have gained something. Maybe I can take advantage of the opportunity to get some benefits.

"You used the dimensional technique to hide in the dark, quietly watching the Taoist monk and the monk exploring the tomb. You noticed that when the monk saw the Dharmakaya statue of the Holy King of the Wheel of Time on the door, he seemed to have realized something. A faint golden light emanated from his body, which turned into Buddhist scriptures swirling around his body, and finally formed a scroll of scriptures in his hands."

"But Taoist Kenjing didn't get anything from the image of the Chakravartin. Instead, he looked at the remaining picture of the Heavenly General Conquering Demons on the wall with a thoughtful look. The Taoist Yunji characters slowly condensed into shape, and finally turned into a golden talisman with dragon and phoenix patterns, which fell into Taoist Kenjing's hands."

When Jiang Xinghuo took a look at the game text, he thought that the game was going at a pretty fast pace. As soon as they entered the tomb, they had gained some insights. The reputation of "reading scriptures and consuming classics" was well-deserved.

However, there are not many things in this tomb chamber. Apart from the patterns on the walls and the door, there is only the Huangtian Houtu coffin. I don't know what these two guys will do with this coffin.

"The two evil spirits who chewed on scriptures and bore into classics came to the side of the coffin and saw the extraordinary things hidden in it."

"But there was only one coffin, and it was impossible for it to fall into the hands of both families at the same time. So soon these two evil spirits had a dispute and fought fiercely in the tomb, without caring about the friendship between them."

"In the end, Taoist Kenjing was slightly better, because his talismans were endless, and it was difficult for Monk Zhidian to put up an effective resistance. But Monk Zhidian was not willing to sit and wait for death, so he directly sacrificed his own relics and smashed them on the top of Taoist Kenjing's head, knocking him down on the spot like a thousand peach blossoms bloomed, and he himself was burned to ashes by the Fiery Fire Talisman."

Tsk, Jiang Xinghuo looked at the description in the text and thought he had to do it himself, but he didn't expect that these two people would kill each other, saving him a lot of trouble.

"You have lifted the power of Dimensional Magic."

"You came to the body of the Taoist who was chewing scriptures and the ashes of the monk who was chewing scriptures, and picked up the remaining talismans and scriptures on the ground. The body and ashes also became your possessions."

"Those Green Oxen Taoist children who came with the Taoist who was reading scriptures were also frightened and turned and ran away after seeing you. Do you want to let them go again?"

This time, Jiang Xinghuo chose no.

Good things cannot be done every day.

He let them off last time, but ended up tripping him up. Although that was understandable, it didn't mean he had to accept it.

"You slowly raise your right hand, and a blinding lightning flashes out like a spear blade, sweeping out in an instant, covering those Qingniu Taoist children."

"You used Palm Thunder."

"You killed Qingniu Daotong +13."

"You have received incense +2600."

"Check the talisman and the scripture."

"You have obtained: a talisman for invoking the ancestors (consumable), a volume of the Small Wheel-Turning Holy King Sutra (common), and a relic of a monk with a rotten book (rare)."

"A talisman for summoning the ancestors (consumable item). This is a talisman for summoning gods that a Taoist monk from the Heavenly Master's lineage learned from the fragments of the Heavenly Generals Conquering Demons Diagram. It can summon the power of the Heavenly Generals and Spirit Officials at the cost of consuming one's own lifespan."

"The Small Sutra of the Holy King of the Wheel of Revelation (Ordinary Item), the Buddhist monks of the Ten Directions Zen Forest have learned the sutra from the Dharmakaya of the Holy King of the Wheel of Revelation. If you recite it silently in your heart ten thousand times, you will be able to jump out of the Pure Land of Rebirth after death, and will not enter the Buddha's Kingdom, but will always remain in the world of red dust."

"The relics of the monk who rots (rare material). The relics in the monk who rots can increase your ability to comprehend Buddhist scriptures if you carry them with you. If you refine them into elixirs, they can open your wisdom. Even a fool can gain the enlightenment of Buddha."

"You have triggered the Qilin Blessing."

"You searched the body of the Taoist monk again and found a secret letter from Taisui City. Do you want to open it and read it?"

"You have read this secret letter. It is a family letter written by a Meishan Hercules to Taoist Kenjing. The Meishan Hercules and Taoist Kenjing are twin brothers. They were invited to Taisui City to attend a celebration, but the Meishan Hercules found that something was wrong with this celebration. On the surface, it was to celebrate the birth of the offspring of Taisui God, but in fact, it was strange in every way and more like a mysterious sacrifice."

"After receiving his brother's letter, Taoist Kenjing was worried that his brother might be in danger, so he thought about going to Taisui City to find out what happened. However, he received an order from the Heavenly Master on the way, asking him to come here to investigate the mausoleum of Emperor Zhuanlun. As a result, he and Monk Zhidian died here together."
