My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 776: Death Gate, Mourners, Tai Chi, Huagai

"Blood wolf smoke?"

When Jiang Xinghuo saw the description in the game text, he immediately thought of a person, that is, the undertaker of the funeral home, the avatar of the Martial Lord who had been through nine deaths and had shed his skin.

He remembered reading in the game text when he was exploring Rakshasa City that a dragon lord was severely injured by the blood and smoke of the martial lord and almost died. He barely escaped, but until he was killed by the dragon head guillotine, he had not completely recovered from the injuries in his body.

In this area of ​​Jiangnan, the only one who can forcibly offset the attack of the six-day ghost god "Sui" and have the remaining strength to shatter its projection is probably the Martial Lord.

Even if we look at the entire secular world, there are probably only a handful of people who can do this with their martial arts skills. Apart from the Martial Lord, the Tiger Head Guardian of the Wulin Alliance is one, and the president of the Lingnan Martial Arts Association may also be able to do it.

He has had relatively little contact with the National Martial Arts Association, so he doesn't know how capable the president is. However, since the National Martial Arts Association and the Wulin Alliance, located in the south and the north, are collectively known as the two major martial arts holy places, their strength must not be too weak.

"The projection of the six-day ghost god 'Sui' has dissipated. You saved Pi Ma Sha from the brink of death, and you have been blessed by the gods and stars."

"The blessing of the gods and demons (permanent blessing). Legend has it that the gods of the Eight Characters are all lives born from nature. Each god corresponds to an ancient star in the starry sky. Therefore, even if they die, they will be resurrected from the core of the ancient star after a long time. This is why there are stories about the eight characters of gods and demons in every civilization history."

"However, the resurrected Demon God has no previous memories. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a completely new life form."

"The blessing of the evil star can improve your ability to comprehend star-related spells. At the same time, on the day when the evil star is on duty in the lunar calendar, the overall attributes of your body will be greatly improved."

Jiang Xinghuo suddenly realized that these eight-character gods and demons were also lives born in the starry sky. They were essentially no different from those ancient gods from outer space, except that their positions were different.

As for whether there is any hidden secret in this, it is difficult to tell based on just these few words. Perhaps there will be a chance to find out in the future.

"What are your options next?"

"The commotion here just now was too loud, attracting many people to rush here. Do you plan to find a place to hide temporarily, or choose to stay here and wait for interrogation?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and decided to stay here and wait based on the principle of triggering more plots. He wanted to see what kind of plot this choice would trigger.

"You chose to stay where you are."

"After a while, many ghosts and gods in the city who heard the noise came over. They found the place in a mess, with a lot of blood and flesh residue on the ground. That was the destroyed body of Pi Ma Sha. The two evil gods, Sangmen Diaoke, who arrived first, immediately recognized the traces of Pi Ma Sha. Their faces changed drastically and they asked you what happened?"

"How are you going to answer the mourner's question?"

"Will you choose to tell the truth about everything and uncover the conspiracy of the six-day ghost god 'Sui'? Or will you say that you don't know anything and just rushed here when you heard the noise, and arrived a little earlier than them?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the two options and thought for a moment. Before he could make a choice, new game text popped up.

"Be careful. If you choose to uncover the conspiracy of the Six Heavenly Ghost God 'Sui', then you will have to face the doubts of many Jiangnan citizens, especially those great gods among the Eight Characters. Moreover, your identity as an exile is also quite special, and your words are not very credible in the eyes of these people. If you say this kind of earth-shattering news, it is very likely that people will mistakenly think that you are deliberately discrediting Tai Sui God."

"But your words may also be remembered by others. Even if they don't completely believe what you said, they will try to verify it themselves, at least planting a seed of doubt in their hearts."

Jiang Xinghuo hesitated for a moment, then made his choice.

"You saw more and more people around you, and the identity of Tai Sui God was revealed. Once the news spread, it was like a thunderclap in everyone's ears. In an instant, the whole street became quiet, and then it was like boiling water. Noises came one after another. The mourners looked at each other and reached out to grab your shoulders at the same time, wanting to capture you first. After all, this matter is of great importance. No matter whether it is true or false, they must control you first."

"However, at this moment, the Taiji nobleman from the Eight Characters of the Gods suddenly appeared and sent out a stream of chaotic energy, which directly wrapped up your body while the mourner was not paying attention."

"You were attacked by the Eight-Character God Tai Chi Nobleman."

"You feel your body rapidly dissipating, transformed by that force into the original chaotic energy, and completely becoming a non-existent existence."

"You are assimilated by the energy of chaos."

"You are dead."

"You have triggered the innate Bagua power of the Bagua diagram."

"The power of the universe of the Xiantian Bagua started to operate on its own, and under the impetus of the chaotic energy, it evolved into a Yin-Yang curse seal."

"You turned a blessing in disguise and obtained the Yin-Yang Curse Seal."

"Liang Yi Curse Seal (Special), the Dao Lord's relic Bagua Diagram was influenced by the aura of chaos and condensed into a curse seal. It can be integrated into the genes of the flesh and blood, opening the gene bank in the body and starting the third-order gene chain - Wuji."

"Do you want to incorporate the curse into your body immediately?"

Jiang Xinghuo's eyes suddenly lit up. He didn't expect that his luck was so good. Although he died at the hands of Taiji nobleman, the Bagua diagram left by Daojun was affected, which gave him a chance to open the gene bank and unlock the gene chain.

The gene bank is a force that the Martial Lord researched based on ancient biological theories, and it is also the foundation of the Nine Deaths Cicada.

When he obtained the radiation poison, he activated the third-level gene chain - nuclear energy.

It can ignore the damage caused by all radioactive substances, absorb radioactive substances, and then release them.

However, because this ability is too terrifying, it is equivalent to a self-propelled human nuclear bomb. If you are not careful, it will kill all the people in the city, so Jiang Xinghuo has never used the ability of the nuclear energy gene chain.

I don’t know what effect this Wuji gene chain has.

"You chose to fuse the Yin-Yang seal."

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

In reality, Jiang Xinghuo felt his body numb and tingling, as if a weak electric current was running through his body. Grayish-white chaotic auras, like meridians and blood vessels, crisscrossed on the surface of his skin, forming marks that seemed to be full of meaning.

This strange phenomenon lasted for about half an hour. Jiang Xinghuo suddenly heard a sound of breaking in his ears, and his body felt a little relaxed, as if some shackles had really been broken.

Then, Jiang Xinghuo felt the magical energy behind him rolling like the sea. A three-meter-tall white shadow of a Dharma image quietly appeared behind him. It looked ethereal and seemed to disappear at any time. He could vaguely see that the facial features were somewhat similar to his own, and there was a large round of misty light behind his head. "Dharma image?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought of some myths and legends. It was said that the powerful beings in those myths and legends could transform themselves into their own images to attack the enemies.

This and Fa Tian Xiang Di are two concepts. Dharma Appearance is a condensation of magic power or energy, while Fa Tian Xiang Di is the enlargement of one's own flesh and blood body.

It is hard to say who is stronger and who is weaker, but the oppression they bring to people is undeniable.

However, Jiang Xinghuo could feel that the Dharma image behind him was just a decoration, with nothing on display. It looked intimidating, but in fact it did not have much ability. Even its shape was illusory, and its lower body was more like the smoke form of Aladdin's genie. If he wanted to truly control the Dharma image to hurt people and enemies, he was afraid that he still had a long way to go.

At the same time, subsequent text messages came from the game. Jiang Xinghuo's mind moved, and the Dharma image behind him immediately disappeared.

"You have successfully integrated the Yin-Yang Seal."

"You have activated the gene chain - the infinite gene chain."

"The Wuji Gene Chain (Level 3) is a gene chain hidden in the blood of the Exile. It can only be opened by the power left by the Dao Ancestor. After opening, you can condense the Yuanshen Dharma Image, and enhance the power of the Dharma Image by absorbing various powers between heaven and earth. As long as it is within the 'Tao', it can be integrated into the Yuanshen Dharma Image. However, the power outside the 'Tao' not only cannot be integrated into the Dharma Image, but will also cause damage to your Yuanshen Dharma Image."

"Progress of French equivalent: 10%."

"When you cultivate the Wuji gene chain to perfection, you can automatically open the fourth-level gene chain - Zhenjun."

"At that time, the Yuanshen Dharma Image will have more changes and more powerful power."

Jiang Xinghuo showed surprise on his face, this was truly an unexpected gain. He didn't expect that he could get so many benefits after being killed. Fortunately, he did not choose to leave, otherwise, there would be no chance to open the Wuji gene chain, let alone the higher-level Zhenjun gene chain.

"Do you want to use a scapegoat to resurrect on the spot?"

The game gives you an option.

Jiang Xinghuo chose no.

If he were to use the scapegoat to resurrect now, he would probably be killed again by Tai Chi Nobleman. That guy had obviously become a lackey of the Six Heavenly Ghosts, otherwise he would not have attacked him directly. On the contrary, the mourners would be safer, since their positions were not yet clear. However, judging from the description in the game text, they were most likely unaware of the identity of 'Sui'.

"You used dog food."

"You opened your eyes beside the shrine outside Jiangnan City, but the moment you opened your eyes, a golden pagoda with pearls and emeralds suddenly appeared above your head and instantly engulfed you. Do you want to resist immediately?"

Jiang Xinghuo hesitated for a moment and chose no.

Since the opponent did not kill me immediately, it meant that it did not want to kill me for the time being. So I might as well go and see what it wanted to do, in case I could find an ally for myself.

"You don't know how much time has passed outside. It feels like a moment, but also like thousands of years. When you are released from the building, you have arrived in a magnificent palace."

"A figure with purple air all over his body stands in front of you, holding the golden banner in his hand. It is the great god Huagaixing among the eight evil spirits."

"You have discovered it, Huagai Star."

"Huagaixing said that this place is very safe. Within his Zhoutian domain, even Taisui God cannot spy on what is happening here."

"Only then did you realize that there were countless stars floating in the sky above the hall, as if the stars in the sky were snatched and embedded in the ceiling of the hall."

"Huagaixing asked if everything you said was true. Do you have any evidence to prove your statement?"

"How are you going to answer him?"

"Are you going to tell everyone about the defeat of the Ten Evils? Or are you going to release the spirit of the Hemp-robed Evil?"

Jiang Xinghuo saw that it was better to keep the fact of the Ten Evils' defeat a secret. Anyway, the mourners had already discovered Pi Ma Sha's body remains, and it was impossible to hide it any longer. The best way was to release Pi Ma Sha's spirit.

"You released the spirit of Pi Ma Sha."

"The Pi Ma Sha was attacked by the projection of the Six Heavenly Ghosts. Not only was his body completely crushed, but even his own spirit was mostly dissipated. Now he has fallen into a deep sleep, and it is difficult for him to even maintain his basic form. He is just a ball of hazy light mist."

"After Huagaixing saw Pimasha's soul, he immediately sent out a Huagai purple aura, nourishing Pimasha's soul with the power contained in it. At the same time, he also saw everything that happened to Pimasha."

"Huagaixing's tone was a little solemn. He said that although he had some doubts about Tai Sui God, he didn't take it too seriously. He thought that Tai Sui God was worried about the threat from other Dao masters. After all, when fighting with other Dao masters over the years, they were always at a disadvantage. But he didn't expect that Tai Sui God had already been replaced by someone else."

"They are also familiar with the Six Heavens Ghost God 'Sui'. In the past, they fought more than one battle with Tai Sui God for the power of the ruler. The last battle destroyed 'Sui's body and its followers. They thought that the other party would no longer pose a threat, but they never thought that something like this would happen."

"Huagaixing asked you to leave Pimasha's soul here to nourish it. He will find a way to rescue Pimasha later. You can do what you want to do, and don't worry about others causing trouble for you."

"You have obtained the Heavenly Secret Umbrella."

"Heavenly Secret Umbrella (rare item), this is a precious umbrella formed by the Eight Characters God Huagaixing using his own Ziwei Qi. Carrying it with you can shield your own heavenly secrets. Anyone whose cultivation level is not higher than that of Huagaixing will not be able to deduce your whereabouts."

"At the same time, the purple myrtle energy on the Tianji Umbrella can also improve your luck attribute and increase the power of the Dragon Raising Technique. Ordinary evil spirits will not dare to get close to you."

"Do you want to tell Huagaixing about the conspiracy of the six-day ghost god 'Sui' and ask him to help mix the talismans of breaking rituals into the sacrifices of many celebrations?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it for a while and finally chose yes, but to be on the safe side, he also kept a trick up his sleeve.

"You chose to tell Huagaixing about the conspiracy of this celebration."
