My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 772: The Defeat of the Ten Evils
"You have deployed the divine movement method."

"Your figure turned into a golden light and quickly chased in the direction of the Ghost Spirit Tai Sui's escape. However, the Ghost Spirit Tai Sui was very familiar with the roads in the Tai Sui Cave. In addition, he could transform his body into a virtual form and ignore the obstruction of the stone wall in front of him, so he quickly distanced himself from you."

"But the Divine Movement Technique you used and the Nine Deaths Cicada's ability to transform into a virtual form can also help you ignore the obstacles of the environment. Although you cannot catch up with the Ghost Spirit Tai Sui in front of you for the time being, it will also be impossible for it to get rid of you."

"What are your options next?"

"Will you choose to continue to pursue the Ghost Spirit Tai Sui, or give up this target and choose other Tai Sui to harvest?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose the former without hesitation.

If you don’t steam the steamed buns, you’ll lose your breath.

He had to catch this evil spirit and make soup with it, otherwise he would not be able to swallow his anger.

However, it is not a solution to keep chasing like this. The Tai Sui Cave is so big that there is no telling how long it will take if we continue like this.

At this time, new game text popped up again.

"You noticed that the direction where the ghost Tai Sui fled was full of various other Tai Sui, growing in all kinds on the surrounding stone walls, and some of them had similarly strange abilities."

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo suddenly had an idea. He immediately opened the skill panel and found the newly learned Wanmu Senluo Technique.

The Wanmu Senluo Technique is quite picky about the environment in which it is cast. It must be a place where grass and plants grow in order to perfectly unleash the power of this technique.

Although Tai Sui Cave is not located in the deep mountains or old forests, it is full of various Tai Sui.

Although Tai Sui's abilities are rather strange, it is, after all, still a kind of fungus, and can be considered a type of plant, so the Wanmu Senluo Technique should have some effect on Tai Sui.

Let’s try it first.

If that doesn't work, think of other ways.

"You activated the Ten Thousand Woods Sen Luo Technique."

"You used this technique to establish a connection with the Tai Sui growing around you. With a thought, those Tai Sui that were originally motionless suddenly became active, each exerting their own abilities and launching attacks on the ghost Tai Sui."

"Ghost Spirit Tai Sui didn't expect you to have this skill, but it transformed its own form into a ghostly evil spirit, easily dodging most physical attacks, and spell attacks had little effect on it."

"The Ghost Spirit Tai Sui once again showed that sarcastic smile, as if he was laughing at your incompetence. But at this moment, a cold and chilly air suddenly appeared from the darkness and quickly spread out. A large number of traces of frost also appeared on the surrounding mountain walls."

"The ghost Tai Sui was affected by this cold air, and his illusory figure condensed into a solid entity again, and was firmly bound to the spot, unable to move at all."

"This sudden change shocked the Ghost Spirit Tai Sui, but no matter how it struggled, it could not escape the invasion and distress of this cold air, and could only watch you gradually approach."

"You came to the Ghost Spirit Tai Sui, thinking about how to subdue it, but suddenly a strange voice came to your ears, telling you how to subdue the Ghost Spirit Tai Sui."

"You need to first find a red rope that has been used by the leader of the Guanwai Ginseng Sect. The older the better. Then put a lot of copper coins on the rope. As long as you tie this rope to the ghost Tai Sui, it will never be able to escape from your hands again."

"The ghost Tai Sui also heard the sound. A look of fear appeared on its human face. It hurriedly let out strange roars and cries, as if begging for mercy or scolding. But since you can't understand the language of the Tai Sui race, you can't tell what it means."

Jiang Xinghuo didn't know who was speaking.

But since the other party has told me the method to deal with the ghost Tai Sui, I will try it according to what he said, and see if it works or not when the time comes.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo directly entered the option of the niche shop.

A panel of niche options popped up from the interface, on which one could select teahouse niches in different cities. All the places he had been to were on it.

Jiang Xinghuo chose the teahouse niche in Guandong City.

Being a ginseng headman is a profession unique to the Kanto region in the secular world.

To put it simply, they are ginseng collectors. The nature of their work is similar to that of Tai Sui collectors, except that one collects ginseng and the other collects Tai Sui.

If you want to find the tools used by the ginseng boss, you naturally have to go to Kanto to find them.

After some searching.

Jiang Xinghuo found what he wanted in the niche shop.

The price is not expensive, only 200 incense sticks in total.

He bought the item directly and also bought one hundred thousand yuan coins from the niche shop.

"You have obtained the ginseng rope."

"You have obtained 10,000 yuan."

"Ginseng binding rope (common item), a tool used by Kanto ginseng diggers to dig ginseng. It is said that once ginseng grows for more than a hundred years, it will become spiritual and take on a human form. Once it leaves the soil, it will immediately disappear without a trace. The head and tail of the ginseng must be tied with a red rope to prevent it from taking on a human form and escaping."

"Ten Thousand People's Coin (common material). As the saying goes, money passes through ten thousand hands. The more times a copper coin changes hands, the more powerful the Yang energy it accumulates. When it passes through the hands of ten thousand people, it will transform into a powerful and powerful weapon to subdue demons. Ordinary demons and monsters will not dare to approach it at all."

"Do you want to weave these two props together and tie them to the ghost Tai Sui?"

"Preparing, please wait..."

Jiang Xinghuo controlled the character to merge the two props together, turning it into a magic weapon specifically targeting the ghost Tai Sui.

"Compilation is complete."

"You have obtained the Zhen Sui Lock." "Zhen Sui Lock (excellent item), a item that combines the advantages of the Ginseng Binding Rope and the Ten Thousand People's Money. It is specially used to lock up Tai Sui creatures, but it has no effect on other creatures."

"Ghost Spirit Tai Sui looks at you approaching with the Zhen Sui Lock in hand, and a look of panic and fear appears on his face. Do you want to tie it to Ghost Spirit Tai Sui?"

The game text asked again.

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation.

"You put the Zhen Sui Lock on the Ghost Spirit Tai Sui. The Ghost Spirit Tai Sui screamed and its body quickly shrank, turning into a black human-shaped Tai Sui fungus. As long as the Zhen Sui Lock is not removed, the Ghost Spirit Tai Sui will not be able to escape. You can intercept its body at any time and use it as medicine."

"Pay attention, Tai Sui has the property of immortal growth. As long as it is not completely destroyed, even if only a small fragment is left, it will grow back on its own. It just takes a longer time, depending on the severity of the injury."

Tsk, this time it’s good. With such a ghost Tai Sui, it is equivalent to having an endless supply of Tai Sui meat, and he can develop stably and long-term.

"What choice are you going to make next?"

"Will you leave the Tai Sui Cave now, or go to other forks to explore? Or will you continue to explore and see who told you how to imprison the ghost Tai Sui?"

The game gives two options. The latter can obviously trigger more plots than the former and is more eye-catching. Jiang Xinghuo will naturally not miss this choice.

"You chose to continue exploring further."

"You continue walking along the dim road and soon arrive at a cave entrance, but the entrance is blocked by an iron fence. And judging from the appearance of the iron fence, it doesn't look like a regular iron fence, but a fence formed by the melting of countless weapons. The four sides are firmly embedded in the mountain wall, and there are a lot of thunder and fire talismans on the surface, as if they are sealing and suppressing someone."

"Would you like to come closer and take a look?"

With curiosity in his heart, Jiang Xinghuo controlled the character and walked to the front of the cave.

"You found a figure sitting on the ground in the cave. He looked quite familiar. You seemed to have seen this person in the family photo at the wine-making girl's house. He was the wine-making girl's husband, Cai Suiren."

Cai Suiren is not dead?
Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows slightly. He had been mentally prepared, thinking that the other party had died in the Tai Sui Cave. He did not expect that Cai Sui was still alive, but had been sealed up.

But new problems arise.

Is it worth all the trouble for a little Cai Suiren? Not only is he locked here with iron bars, but he is also sealed with thunder and fire talismans!
This scene is enough to imprison any powerful demon or monster.

It might be an exaggeration to use it on a man of the year.

But the game text that popped up next was far beyond Jiang Xinghuo's expectations.

"You triggered it, Fiery Eyes and Golden Eyes."

"You discovered that this body of a man of the year actually contains two souls. One is as weak as a candle in the wind or a lamp in the rain, and could be completely extinguished at any time. The other is much stronger than the other, and not only maintains the vital signs of this body, but also protects the weak soul from being completely annihilated."

"At this time, the powerful soul spoke, and you learned its identity from its words. It turned out to be the Ten Evils among the Eight Characters of the Gods under the Tai Sui God's throne."

"Shi Evil is a great god among the eight evil spirits. His status is second only to Tai Sui God, and he is even higher than those Tai Sui Heavenly Officials. However, such a great god with a respected status and powerful strength has ended up in this situation. He can only share a body with others to ensure his own safety."

The Ten Evils were defeated?

Jiang Xinghuo was not unfamiliar with this name. He had heard of this name from the Immortal Fu Bao when he first went to Xishen City.

As a monster in Xishen City, Fubaoxian wanted to get his hands on Shi'e Dabai's daughter. As a result, he was cursed by Shi'e Dabai. His head would keep exploding and recovering, and he suffered from the pain of headshots all the time.

Moreover, he also obtained the magic weapon that defeated the Ten Evils in Xishen City - the broken fragments of the Ten Evils.

But since then he had no encounter with the Ten Evils again. Unexpectedly, he met them again here. But how could such a great god with a high status fall into such an embarrassing state?
Jiang Xinghuo tapped the screen to continue pushing the text down.

"During your conversation with him, you learned about the past. It turns out that the Ten Evils were defeated and fell to such a state because they discovered the identity of Tai Sui. The current Tai Sui is not the real Tai Sui, but a puppet controlled by the ancient gods. The real identity of the other party is the six-day ghost god of the ancient times - Sui."

"Sui's true form originated from the fragments of stars in outer space. Later, he was enlightened by the ancient god 'Suixing' and became a powerful six-day ghost god. He possessed the same power as Tai Sui, so he remained hidden for so long. The Ten Evils were defeated by accident. They discovered the other party's identity and were hunted down by the other party. Their bodies were destroyed and one third of their souls were consumed. They could only flee to the Tai Sui Cave. With the help of the many Tai Sui here, they can cover up their own aura."

"As a result, he met the dying Cai Sui here. Cai Sui was first injured by the Blood Tai Sui and was on the verge of death. Later, most of his soul was devoured by the Ghost Tai Sui. If he hadn't met him by chance, I'm afraid Cai Sui would be dead now."

"At that time, Shiwu Dabai was only left with a remnant soul. If he didn't find a body to house his soul in time, he wouldn't be able to survive in Taisui Cave for too long. So he shared a body with Caisui Ren and reached a deal with him. Caisui Ren gave his body to Shiwu Dabai for use, but Shiwu Dabai wanted to extend his life as much as possible because he hadn't seen his wife and daughter yet, so he didn't want to die in such a confused state."

“But the state of this body cannot support them to leave the Tai Sui Cave. If they hide here, they can barely rely on the Tai Sui spiritual energy to prolong their lives. But once they leave, even if the fake Tai Sui God does not kill them, the remaining vitality will quickly dissipate.”

"So, they have been hiding here, hoping to see outsiders who can help pass the letters to this body's family in Peking."

"You have obtained the letter from Cai Suiren."

"Do you want to agree to Cai Suiren's request and return this letter to the wine-making girl in Peking?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes.

"You accepted Caisui's request. Caisui's soul no longer has any last ties and is about to reach the end of his life. But before he dissipated, Caisui told you a message. After you send the letter home, you can ask for the map he left behind. It looks like an ordinary map, but in fact, it hides a mysterious map. As long as you apply ten different types of Taisui juice on it, you can make the hidden map appear."

Jiang Xinghuo thought of the map given to him by the winemaker. The task here has not been completed yet, but he didn't expect to get the reward first.

But this task still has to be done. It doesn't take much effort anyway. I can just make a stop there when I go to Peking next time.

"The soul of the man who collected the years completely dissipated."

"This body is also controlled by Shiwu Dabai, but Shiwu Dabai still cannot leave here. I can only entrust you with what I want to do."

"Shi Evil Da Bai hopes that you can enter Tai Sui City, rescue his little daughter, and then hand her over to the undertaker of the funeral home, because only the undertaker can protect his daughter. In return for your help, he is willing to give you his own magical weapon - Shi Evil Da Bai."
