My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 773: Eight Characters God Palace

The Ten Evils are the companion artifacts of the Ten Evils. When he was in Xishen City, he accidentally obtained a piece of it. Later, he used this broken piece to summon the projection of the Ten Evils, and completely wiped out the Immortal of Blessing out of thin air.

However, the specific effect of this magic weapon is unknown. However, judging from its name and the identity of the Ten Evils, it should be related to the so-called Eight Characters of Gods and Demons.

"Do you want to accept the conditions of the Ten Evils and sneak into Jiangnan City to rescue his daughter?"

Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a while and made a decision in his heart. He planned to take on the task of defeating the Ten Evils.

The reason was simple, he had no reason to refuse.

It is not yet known what kind of benefits this task can bring him, but since this interactive option has been triggered, he cannot reject it, even if he will die a few times.

After all, the more experiences you have, the more secrets you will discover, and naturally the more benefits you will gain.

Moreover, this kind of task that allows players to freely choose whether to accept it often brings great unexpected surprises.

Let’s take a step back.

Even if this mission does not bring any unexpected gains, the companion magic weapon of the Ten Evils Defeat is enough to make up for all the regrets.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo no longer hesitated and directly chose to accept the task.

"You chose to accept the mission request of the Ten Evils' Defeat."

"But Shiwu Dabai also knows that people's hearts are unpredictable, and we can't rely on promises for everything, so he took out his magic weapon, Shiwu Dahua, and said that if you really want to rescue his daughter, you will sign a contract with him. If you break your oath, you will be cursed by Shiwu Dahua for the rest of your life. The ten most vicious disasters in the world will entangle your soul for generations. Even if you reincarnate and reincarnate for thousands of years, the curse imprinted in your soul will not dissipate."

"Do you want to sign a contract with the Ten Evils?"

"Attention, the Golden Law Fragment and the Burial Law Fragment in your body can both offset the curse brought by the Ten Evils. In other words, even if you break your oath, this so-called curse will not have any effect on you."

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo no longer had any worries in his heart.

He had experienced the effects of the Golden Law and the Burial Law more than once, so naturally he had no doubts. The Ten Evils probably didn't expect that he would have two means to offset his curse at the same time.

"You signed the contract with Shiwu Dabai calmly, and Shiwu Dabai fulfilled his promise and gave you the Shiwu Dahua in his hand. However, you noticed that there was something broken on this magic weapon. Do you want to repair the fragments of the magic weapon in your hand immediately?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes, took out the fragments of the Ten Evils from his backpack, and clicked to use it.

"You have filled in the broken fragments of the Ten Evils. It is being repaired automatically. Please wait..."

"Repairs complete."

"You have obtained the complete Ten Evils."

"The Ten Evils (Super Epic Item), the companion instrument of the Eight Characters Gods and Demons, Ten Evils, combines the ten kinds of disasters: poverty, decline, sorrow, lowliness, shame, cruelty, mildew, pain, loneliness, and incompleteness. The holder can impose these ten disasters on others at will, and they can be repeatedly stacked and accumulated, imprinted in the depths of the soul, and cannot be shaken off even in reincarnation."

"Shiwu Dabai looked at the intact magic weapon in your hand, and suddenly realized that it was you who summoned his projection in the first place. He even deliberately deduced your whereabouts for this purpose, but was blocked by an unknown force."

Jiang Xinghuo recalled that episode.

He summoned the projections of the Ten Evils and killed the Immortal of Fortune, but was eventually defeated by an unidentified master. However, he was finally blocked by the power of the talisman that could eliminate the evil traces of cause and effect, and the opponent returned empty-handed.

"Shiwu Daba felt quite emotional. He went to Xishen City to do some work, but was attacked by a mysterious strong man. Shiwu Daba was also destroyed in that battle. Later, he sent people to look for him many times, but he couldn't find his whereabouts. He never thought that by some strange coincidence, he would fall into your hands. And you finally came here and became the only person he could trust. It must be fate that played tricks on him."

"He also had some guesses about the identity of the person who attacked him in Xishen City. If nothing unexpected happened, it was the six-day ghost god who stole the throne of Tai Sui - Sui."

"Sui should have wanted to take advantage of that opportunity to kill him completely in Xishen City, but he was traveling with the two evil spirits, Death Gate Diao Ke and Void Star. Although Sui's strength exceeded that of any of them, he could not kill all of them at the same time. So he could only break his magic weapon and flee in a hurry without exposing his identity."

"Then, Shiwu Dabai took out a map of the 'Eight Characters God's Mansion' from his body. This map can guide you to his mansion. He was worried that something unexpected would happen before the incident, so he sealed the mansion up and cast a curse on his little daughter, who would sleep in the secret room of the mansion forever. You just need to follow the map and you can find the place where Shiwu's daughter is sleeping. Then send her to the undertaker, and everything will be fine."

"And you must remember one thing, that is, you cannot trust anyone else. If you encounter other evil spirits blocking your way, you just need to find a way to avoid them. Try not to have a direct conflict with them, because you don't know if there are any fanatics who have been bewitched by the ancient gods among these eight-character evil spirits. If there are, you will die in vain if you meet them."

"After saying these words, Shiwu Dabai fell into a deep sleep. He needs a long time to recuperate and it is unknown whether he can leave here in the future. The only thing he is worried about is his daughter. Now, he has placed all his hopes on you. What are you going to choose next?"

"Will you choose to leave Tai Sui Cave and go to Jiangnan City to find the Ten Evil Ladies and hand them over to the undertaker? Or will you choose to continue exploring Tai Sui Cave?"

"Of course, you can also choose to ignore the mission entrusted by the Ten Evils. After all, his curse cannot have any effect on you. Even if you break your oath, it will not be disadvantageous to you in the slightest."

Tsk, Jiang Xinghuo took a look at the three options and directly ruled out the last answer. Not to mention that he took other people's things, this was already a task handed to him. If he refused it, wouldn't it be too unromantic?

As to whether to rescue people first or continue exploring in the Tai Sui Cave, Jiang Xinghuo thought about it carefully and finally chose to stay here and continue exploring.

Since the defeated daughter of the Ten Evils has fallen into a deep sleep, there is no need to rush to rescue her. Instead, we should find the hidden map first and deal with other things later.

"You chose to stay in Tai Sui Cave and continue exploring."

Jiang Xinghuo flipped forward the text again. He had to collect ten different types of Tai Sui juice to find the real secret hidden on the map.

The ghost Tai Sui is one of them.

That means we need to find nine other types of Tai Sui.

"You started exploring in Taisui Cave..."

"You found a fire Tai Sui. The bright red Tai Sui exudes a fiery aura and has flame patterns flashing across it. Do you want to go forward and cut it off?"

"Please note that Fire Tai Sui is one of the Five Elements Tai Sui and needs to be cut according to the principle of the Five Elements' mutual restraint, otherwise the Tai Sui spirit will dissipate immediately."

Jiang Xinghuo followed the instructions in the game text and spent two days in the Tai Sui Cave. On the third night, he used the Golden Silk Wedding Candy, Fortune Incense, and the Kirin Blessing Technique to find the last new species of Tai Sui. "You have obtained the Tai Sui of Carrying the Mountain."

"Xie Shan Tai Sui (epic material), an extremely rare variety of Tai Sui, looks like a rock, but is born different. After taking it, one's own strength can be greatly improved, and the medicinal properties can be hidden in the blood and flesh genes. As the cultivation level of the user increases, the strength will gradually be improved. Theoretically, there is no upper limit to this improvement."

When Jiang Xinghuo saw the detailed description of this Tai Sui, his eyes suddenly lit up. All the Tai Sui he had found so far were not as good as this Tai Sui with the Mountain, which could actually increase his own strength unlimitedly.

As the saying goes, one force can defeat ten.

As long as you are strong enough, you can ignore any threats, and both your attack and explosive power will be greatly improved.

"Do you want to take this Tai Sui immediately?"

"Please note that Xieshan Tai Sui is different from other types of Tai Sui. It does not need to be processed in any way. Just swallow it raw and you can perfectly absorb its medicinal properties."

Jiang Xinghuo chose no for the time being, even though Xieshan Taisui could increase his strength.

But he didn't forget about the map. Now he just needs the final touch, so he should solve the problem of the map first.

"You have obtained Tai Sui Juice (10/10)."

"Do you want to apply the Tai Sui juice on the map immediately?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes and controlled the character to smear the Tai Sui juice on the map. Soon the subsequent text popped up.

"You have successfully opened the hidden information on the map."

"You see a brand new map. The route on it is winding and rugged, leading to the deepest part of Taisui Cave. You can explore at any time according to the marks on the map."

"This map was obtained by the deceased Cai Sui in his dream. He knew that there was a big secret hidden here, but for his own safety, he did not go to explore it. Instead, he hid it on an ordinary map, intending to explore it when he had the chance. Otherwise, if something unexpected happened, he would be left with orphans and widows at home with no one to take care of them. His life would not be worth it."

"However, it is fate and time. In the end, it still cannot escape death. It can only place its last wish on you."

"What are you going to do next?"

"Will you choose to explore the places marked on the map? Or will you choose to go to the Ba Zi Shen Sha Mansion?"

Jiang Xinghuo hesitated for a moment and chose to go to the Ba Zi Shen Sha Palace. The map of Tai Sui Cave had already been opened up, so he could go there anytime since the route map was in his hands.

Now, he decided to go to Jiangnan City to find out.

At least we have to destroy the conspiracy of the fake Tai Sui God first.

According to his speculation and reasoning, if nothing unexpected happened, the fake Tai Sui God wanted to take advantage of the birth of his offspring to let the ancient god 'Sui Xing' or his offspring come to the world.

These ancient gods from outer space are not only enemies of the mortal world, but also potential enemies of the exile land. So no matter from which standpoint or angle, he has no reason to sit idly by.

Some things can be dealt with by each side.

But when it comes to major issues, there are some things that cannot be discussed.

"You chose to go to the Eight Characters God's Mansion in Jiangnan City."

"You walked towards the outside of Tai Sui Cave and met two people who collected the year. You learned from their conversation that the city has been getting more and more lively recently. The celebration will be held in two days. Many monsters from all over the world have come. During the celebration, all grudges must be put aside. No one is allowed to fight privately in the city, otherwise they will be enemies of Tai Sui Mansion."

"You left Tai Sui Cave."

"You have arrived at the gate of Jiangnan City."

"When night falls, the city is brightly lit, with countless lanterns crisscrossing like a dance of fish and dragons at night. It looks magnificent."

"Now that you have entered the city, where are you going next?"

The game text listed several options, all of which were maps he had opened up. The only map he was encountering for the first time was the Ba Zi Shen Sha Mansion.

"You chose to go to the Ba Zi Shen Sha Mansion."

"On the way, please wait..."

"The Eight Characters Gods and Demons Mansion is where many evil gods under the throne of Tai Sui live. It covers a very vast area. Almost the entire East City is the territory of the Eight Characters Gods and Demons Mansion. In addition to the residences of the evil gods, there are also many landlords and wealthy people living here."

"You have arrived at the Eight Characters God's Palace."

"You activated the map of the Eight Characters God's Mansion."

"Because the terrain here is too complicated, if you don't have a map, it will be difficult for you to find the mansion of the Ten Evils. Not only will you get lost easily, but you will also easily attract the attention of others, thus bringing yourself unnecessary trouble."

"Following the guidance of the map, you successfully entered the mansion where the Ten Evils were defeated, the Shashen Mansion."

"The map shows that the entrance to the secret room where the Ten Evil Ladies are located is on the north wall of the Evil God's Mansion, below the fifth Evil God tablet, and next to the Yima Star Yima Station. Because the Yima Station is always filled with the sound of neighing horses, it can just cover up the noise in the secret room, so there is no need to worry about being discovered by others."

"You groped your way to the north of the Sha Shen Mansion. When you were about to open the mechanism, you suddenly heard a faint wailing sound coming from the other side of the wall. There was only a wall separating you from it. Would you like to secretly climb over the wall to take a look?"

Jiang Xinghuo was a little surprised. He didn't expect there would be a new plot, so he certainly couldn't miss it.

"You quietly climbed up the wall and saw carriages and horses galloping in the post station in the backyard, repeatedly crushing a figure..."
