My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 774 Sacrifice Ceremony
"You found a large number of carriages and horses in the post station madly and repeatedly crushing a figure. The figure had been trampled beyond recognition, and the whole person had become a bloody mess. It was almost impossible to tell the original race. There was only a pool of squirming blood and flesh splashing everywhere."

"But it just can't get rid of it completely. The wheels of the chariots and horses that repeatedly crush it are all the chariots and horses used by the great god Yimaxing. They have received his blessing and can ensure that the people crushed will not die a quick death. This is an extremely painful torture. The reason why Yimaxing developed these magic tools is to deal with those who offended him, making them unable to live or die, and can only wait for death to come in painful torment."

"You have triggered the Sky-Watcher's Eye."

"You used the unique talent of the Sky-Watcher's Eye to recognize the figure that was trampled by the carriages and horses. It turned out to be the Yaksha King you saw outside the city. For some reason, it offended the Post Horse Star and suffered such torture. What do you plan to do now?"

"Will you help the Yaksha King out of his suffering? Or will you save him from the chariot?"

"Of course, you can also choose to sit back and do nothing. After all, this matter has nothing to do with you. Not to mention that the Yaksha King has a different stance from you. Even if you have some connection with it, you don't have to offend Yima Star for it and bring yourself so many unexpected troubles."

"Yimaxing is a great god among the eight evil spirits, in charge of the authority of travel. If you offend this great god, you will probably encounter many setbacks when you are traveling in the future, unless you can rescue the Yaksha King from being crushed by the carriages and horses without the other party being able to find and detect you."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the three options given in the game text, thought about it carefully, then swiped the screen, opened the backpack panel, took out the mountain ghost mask, and clicked to use it.

"You have equipped the Mountain Ghost Mask."

"While you are wearing the mask, you will be blessed by the spirit of the mountain ghost. From your aura to your strength, you will receive gifts from the mountain ghost. You will temporarily transform into the body of a mountain ghost, and you can control the veins of the mountains and forests for your own use."

"You chose to rescue the Yaksha King."

"You activated the Dragon Raising Technique with the power of the mountain ghost. An earthquake suddenly occurred in the entire post station. The galloping carriages and horses were also affected. They fled in panic, colliding with each other and trampling on each other. Countless people were killed and injured. You took this opportunity to open your magic bag and put the bloody Yaksha King into the magic bag."

Jiang Xinghuo did not use the Heavenly Soldier Map to recruit people, mainly because he was worried that the Yaksha King would repay kindness with enmity. If he really wanted to repay kindness with enmity, the sky-high bomb in the magic bag would be the treasure that would send him off.

"You rescued the Yaksha King who had lost his human form, and you saw a lot of broken carriages and dead horses nearby. Do you want to pick them up?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without much thought. Whether it was useful or not was another matter. He just had to get the thing first.

"You have obtained the carriage fragment +58."

"You have obtained the corpse of the hissing wind horse +18."

"You have obtained Pegasus Banner +3."

"You have obtained the incomplete Yima Talisman."

"Your actions have attracted the attention of Yima Star. A powerful aura instantly enveloped the sky above Yima Station. You have been attacked by Yima Star, the great god of the Eight Characters."

"You deployed the galactic force field."

"Stars flowed between your hands, and the Milky Way churned, diverting all the attacks from Yima Star and turning them into nothing. At the same time, you used the dimensional technique to hide your body in the dimensional space, slipping away under Yima Star's nose and returning to the Shashen Mansion next door, hiding behind the Shashen Monument that was just a stone's throw away."

"The Three Corpse Gods of Yima Star are so angry that they are jumping up and down. The Five Spirits are soaring into the sky and attacking frantically, trying to force you out. But in the end, it has no effect at all. It can only roar in anger as if to vent. It has memorized your aura. If it can find you, it will definitely let you see what it means to be galloping. It will definitely keep you underground and let the carriages and horses trample on you day and night until the day your soul is scattered."

"You listened to Yimaxing's harsh words, but you didn't take them to heart at all, because if it had the ability to find you, it wouldn't be here in a rage. As long as you don't actively seek death and hang around in front of it to attract hatred, Yimaxing can't do anything to you."

"You hid behind the evil god monument. Yimaxing led his men away from Yima Station not long after. Now is the day when the Tai Sui celebration is about to be held. Yimaxing doesn't have that much time to waste. He can only put this matter aside for the time being and come back to get back the place after the celebration is over."

"But in order to avoid Yi Ma Xing's sudden return, you waited behind the evil spirit monument for a while. Only after you were sure that it had really left did you let go of your worry and began to check your gains."

"You open the magic bag and look at the Yaksha King that looks like a nobody. You can't help but sigh at its tenacious vitality. Although it was tortured by Yima Star for such a long time, after being freed from the crushing restraints of the carriages and horses, its bloody body began to repair itself gradually and it won't take long to recover. If you are willing to use Qilin Regeneration and Dead Tree Resurrection to help it, it will recover even faster."

"Do you want to help him repair his body?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it for a while and did not rush to take action. Instead, he opened the void drawer, found a few things in it, and made a black-quality God-Binding Immortal Talisman on the spot.

"You have obtained the God-binding Immortal Talisman (Super Rare)."

"Do you want to inject the God-binding Immortal Talisman into the Yaksha King's body?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation.

Don't miss out.

The Yaksha King is now completely unable to resist, and is just a pool of bloody mud. If we don't take this opportunity to brand him with the Binding Mark, should we wait until he fully recovers before taking action?
I don’t know how much effort I will have to put in by then, so I might as well deal with it now.

After being branded with the God-Binding and Immortal-Commanding Talisman, even if the Yaksha King has great powers, he can only become his slave, and it will be much easier to dispatch him in the future.

"You used the Kirin Regeneration Technique." "You activated it, Molong Atai."

"You used the technique of reviving dead trees."

"Molong A'tai exudes a turquoise light, slowly circling around the Yaksha King's body. Coupled with the Qilin Regeneration Technique and the vitality of the dead tree coming back to life, the Yaksha King's body began to recover faster. In the blink of an eye, he recovered 70% to 80%, but his muscles and bones are still a little fragile."

"The Yaksha King opened his eyes, as if in a dream, but he quickly reacted, stood up from the ground, and looked at you with a complicated expression."

"Although it was seriously injured and fell into a coma, it was still aware of what was happening to it. It knew that you were the one who freed it from endless pain and torture. However, your status as an exile meant that you were destined to be in opposition to it. Yet, you used the God Binding Immortal Talisman to turn it into a follower. Normally, it should be very hostile to you, but due to the effect of the God Binding Immortal Talisman, it had to guarantee its complete loyalty and respect for you."

"It felt a variety of complex and conflicting emotions at the same time, which made it feel awkward. In the end, it could only sigh and lament that fate was playing tricks on it."

"But it feels somewhat relieved that you are still a good master. At least you saved it from Yimaxing. Otherwise, even if it didn't die at Yimaxing's hands, it would have collapsed due to the endless pain and torture."

"The Yaksha King accepted his fate. Since he couldn't resist, he just obeyed. Many years ago, when he was imprisoned in the Snow Prison Demon Well, a master predicted his fate, saying that he would become a powerful assistant in the future, and that the powerful man would help him when his life was at stake and save him from the crisis of fire and water."

"It didn't quite believe it at the time, but now it seems that perhaps the strong man it was talking about was you."

"When you heard this, you were curious and asked who that strong man was, but the Yaksha King said that he didn't know either. He only knew that the strong man created the Snow Wind Prison and had a very close relationship with the Lord of the Secular World. His status was so high that even the Lord of the Secular World had to treat him with courtesy."

As soon as Jiang Xinghuo read the text, he immediately understood that the strong man who predicted the fate of the Yaksha King should be his future self.

So the Yaksha King was also left behind by the future self?

Jiang Xinghuo didn't seem to be feeling uncomfortable at all. Instead, he hoped that his future self would leave more good things behind.

Anyway, we are all one, so why differentiate between you, me and him.

"Then, you also learned from the Yaksha King the purpose of it and the Rakshasa King coming here, and why they fell to such a state."

"It turns out that since the night of dawn, several dragon lords of the Dragon Guard Court have fled the battlefield, robbed the four prisons of the Demon Hunting Bureau, and established Rakshasa City in the Dragon Gate. The Yaksha King and the Raksha King also wanted to hide there at first, but later they found that those dragon lords were completely using them and wanted to use their offspring and clansmen as nutrients to enhance their own cultivation."

"The Rakshasa King wanted to fight them, but was stopped by the Yaksha King in the end, because they were no match for those dragon masters, and even if they fought, it would only be a waste of their lives."

"On the contrary, if they are alive and well, they can make the dragon masters be cautious. Even if all the descendants of the tribe are dead, as long as the two of them are alive, they can revive the dead tribe members."

"However, in order to avoid being wiped out by the Dragon Guardians, the Yaksha King and the Rakshasa King escaped from their shells and hid in the secular world after the establishment of Rakshasa City, quietly waiting for the right opportunity to come."

"But not long ago, they heard the news that Luosha City was destroyed. They were shocked and planned to go over to investigate. As a result, they saw the ruins of Luosha City. All the people disappeared. No one was seen alive or dead. No one knew where they went."

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo touched his nose guiltily.

Except for those who killed each other, most of the Yakshas and Rakshasas in Rakshasa City died indirectly at his hands. Their bodies were left behind, but their souls were devoured by Black and White Impermanence and others, and it was unknown whether they could come back to life.

The reason why he preserved those corpses was naturally not to open a memorial hall as exhibits, but mainly to use the method of corpse refining to train those Rakshasas and Yakshas into ghost soldiers and generals, who could help him open up and conquer various hells in the future.

Now, the Yaksha King has become the monster under his control. It seems that these corpses must be returned to him first, and maybe he can come back to life again.

While Jiang Xinghuo was thinking about these things, he clicked on the screen to continue scrolling down the text.

"The Yaksha King continued to tell the story. On the night he and the Rakshasa King went to explore Longmen, they both had a dream. In the dream, someone told them that the current Tai Sui God had long been replaced by a puppet of the Ancient God from Outer Space. This Tai Sui Festival was also a conspiracy for the descendants of the Ancient God to descend. If the festival was successfully completed, the Ancient God from Outer Space would leave a nail in the secular world, and the descendants of that ancient god group could use their blood relationship to descend to the secular world in the shortest possible time."

"Although the Rakshasa King and the Yaksha King are ghosts and gods in the secular world, they also know the threat of the ancient gods from outer space, so they immediately decided to come here to explore the truth. If it is really as the person in the dream said, no matter what the cost, they must prevent the birth of the ancient god's offspring."

"But the result was not satisfactory. They entered the city disguised as vegetable vendors, but did not find anything unusual. The Yaksha King wanted to visit the Ba Zi Shen Sha Mansion at night to try to get information, but he was discovered by Yi Ma Xing and imprisoned in the backyard, where he was trampled by carriages and horses. Later, you appeared and rescued him."

After reading the description of the Yaksha King, Jiang Xinghuo also understood the general idea. The key point lies in the person who sent the dream. No one knows where the other party comes from, but he actually knows the truth about the birth of Tai Sui God's offspring.

But what he couldn't understand was that since the other party knew about this, why didn't he take action himself?
He even sent a dream to the Yaksha King and the Rakshasa King, asking them to come and resolve the matter. Isn't he afraid that his efforts will fail in the end?
"You asked who was the person who gave them the dream, but the Yaksha King said he didn't know either. They had never met that person before, and he only told them how to ruin the celebration in the dream."

"You continued to ask, and the Yaksha King told you how to ruin the celebration. In fact, this event is called a celebration, but it is actually a sacrificial ceremony. The fake Tai Sui God wants to use the guests who come to the celebration as sacrifices to welcome the offspring of his master to the mortal world."

"So if we want to destroy this conspiracy, we must do two things at the same time. We cannot let the sacrificial ceremony succeed, and we cannot let the pregnant woman give birth to the fetus. The fetus has been contaminated by the descendants of the ancient gods. If it is born smoothly, the descendants of the ancient gods will also come immediately. However, without the sacrificial ceremony, it will have to grow up step by step like an ordinary baby. It cannot be achieved in one fell swoop and master the powerful power of the descendants of the ancient gods."
