My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 788 Yin Tianzi

"Do you want to train this Xuanyuan bronze sword into your own martial arts magic weapon?"

Jiang Xinghuo's heart moved after seeing the text. This text actually reminded him.

Although this Xuanyuan Sword is a replica, it is more than enough to be used to refine martial arts magic weapons. Although it is not as good as those magic weapons refined by the Martial Lord himself, it is more than enough to deal with ordinary monsters.

"You performed rituals and refinements on this bronze Xuanyuan Sword according to the contents of the Divine Weapon Book, and soon refined it into a martial arts divine weapon that belonged to you alone. At the same time, you also deciphered a short stream of information from this Xuanyuan Sword."

"That is, within this Xuanyuan Emperor's Mausoleum, there are countless dangers and opportunities. If the entrant can avoid a fatal threat, then he can get a corresponding reward. This is also some of the opportunities that Emperor Xuanyuan left for future generations."

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo suddenly understood what was going on. No wonder the bronze sword only launched one attack. It was because he used the Nine Deaths Cicada to dodge the fatal sword, so this bronze sword became his reward for passing the test.

In other words, if he died by this sword, it would be in vain. Not only would he not receive any reward, but his soul might even be damaged.

"interesting……"

Jiang Xinghuo became interested. For other monsters, this Xuanyuan Emperor's Mausoleum might be a dangerous place where one could hardly survive, but for a player like him, it was an untapped treasure trove.

Because ordinary monsters only have one life, and if they die here, they are really dead, with no chance to start over. But he is different. He is an exile cursed by the secular world, and the kingdom of death also refuses his arrival. He can use countless deaths to dig out the real secret of this imperial tomb.

"You put away the bronze sword and chose to go deeper."

"You walk through a barren land full of incense burners and find that only a few are still burning. Most of them have gone out. But when you reach the end of this incense burner land, you see a lot of smoke in front of you, blocking your way forward. The pungent smell of incense fills the air, making it difficult for you to discern the path around you."

Jiang Xinghuo frowned slightly, clicked on the skill panel, and activated the innate ability of the Bagua diagram. The Xun Gua in the innate Bagua glowed slightly, and the game text also had new changes.

"You have awakened the innate Bagua power contained in the Bagua diagram. Instantly, a violent wind blew up, like countless swords, spears and sharp arrows blowing towards the smoke and fog ahead. When the smoke was blown away, the warning sign brought by the Mengtou Technique also rose in your heart."

"The next moment, a ferocious face with red hair, red eyebrows, fangs and eight eyes, spitting out endless flames, appeared at the end of the smoky incense burner. Before you could react, the blazing flames engulfed you in an instant."

"How do you plan to deal with this tactic?"

"Will you choose to let it burn your body to ashes? Or will you choose to find a way to resist before you die?"

Jiang Xinghuo hesitated for a moment, just two seconds, and before he could make a choice, new game text popped up again.

"You were burned to ashes by the flames."

"You are dead."

"Your soul and body were purified and sublimated in the flames. Before they were completely burned to ashes, you noticed that behind the smoke that had not been blown away, there were actually hideous and terrifying faces lurking."

"you are dead."

"Your soul has fallen into a void and dark place. This place is beyond the underworld and seems to be another place that accepts the souls of the dead."

"You saw a tall figure, which was very similar to the Tubo statue you had seen before, but it contained a completely different imperial aura."

"Before you lost consciousness, you activated the power of the Sky-Watcher's Eyes and gained insight into the identity of that figure in a flash of lightning."

"You have discovered it, Emperor Yin."

"It is recorded in the information database of the Sky-Watcher's Eye that Yin Tianzi is the ruler of the underworld in the legend of the old secular civilization. There are also legends that he is the most powerful person who opened up the underworld, but his true identity is an incarnation of Emperor Xuanyuan."

"The ancient powerful Tu Bo who held the power of life and death in the past wanted to turn the human world into a den of ghosts. In the end, he was defeated by Emperor Xuanyuan holding the magic sword. Not only did he lose more than a dozen incarnations, but he also stripped Tu Bo of some of his power."

"Later, Emperor Xuanyuan merged Tu Bo's stripped authority with the shattered incarnation, and then separated a strand of his consciousness to occupy the incarnation, and used it as a prototype to build a landmark. This is how the legend of Yin Tianzi spread in the world."

"Before the fall of the old secular world, Emperor Yin also suddenly disappeared from the secular world. People who know the inside story speculate that Emperor Yin's incarnation was likely placed in a suspicious tomb by Emperor Xuanyuan, but no one knows the specific truth."

After seeing the description in this text, Jiang Xinghuo also had an idea in his mind. Could it be that this underground palace is the tomb of Emperor Xuanyuan, the incarnation of Yin Tianzi?

This discovery made Jiang Xinghuo a little disappointed. He thought this could be the imperial tomb of Emperor Xuanyuan's real body, but he didn't expect it to be just the suspected tomb of one of his incarnations.

But after thinking about it, Jiang Xinghuo regained his spirits. Now these were just his guesses. Before entering the center of the imperial mausoleum, no one knew whether this was a suspected tomb or a real tomb. What if the real Emperor Xuanyuan was buried here?

To take a step back, even if it was not Emperor Xuanyuan himself who was buried here, but his incarnation, Emperor Yin, he would not be at a disadvantage. The blessings from the two powerful men outside and his own gains would be enough to offset everything.

After figuring this out, Jiang Xinghuo continued to move forward with the text.

"Your soul gradually fell into confusion and bewilderment. In your trance, you saw countless bizarre scenes flashing before your eyes. Finally, your consciousness fell into a deep sleep."

"Do you want to use a scapegoat to resurrect right here?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes.

"You have been used, scapegoat."

"The straw surrogate is a prop that was created to replace death. It violates the rules and order between life and death. It can only be used once a day in the Xuanyuan Emperor's Mausoleum. After use, you need to wait 24 hours in the real world before you can use it again."

"You came back to life in the incense burner area of ​​Emperor Xuanyuan's mausoleum."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the scapegoat in his backpack and saw that it had turned gray, with a 24-hour countdown cooldown timer underneath.

Jiang Xinghuo secretly thought it was a pity that the scapegoat could only be used once. After he died next time, he would have to run the map outside the Tai Sui Cave again, which would delay some time.

"Do you want to continue moving forward?" Jiang Xinghuo still chose yes.

But this time, before he controlled the character to go over, he first found the Taiyin Armor and equipped himself. The face that could burn him to death was too overbearing. Even with the power of the Fire God's body and the Bagua diagram, he might not be able to withstand it. It would be better to take two approaches and make preparations for both situations.

It was the first time he had seen such a powerful flame. He didn't even have three seconds to resist it before being burned to death.

"You are equipped with the Taiyin Armor."

"The cold air of the Taiyin begins to corrode your flesh, blood, and bones, making you feel as if you are falling into an icy cave. Do you want to move forward immediately?"

Jiang Xinghuo quickly chose yes, in order to avoid being frozen to death by his own props instead of being burned to death by the fire. That would be really troublesome.

"You activated the effect of the Bagua map, and the power of Xunfeng swept in again, blowing away all the fog in front of you. The face with red hair, fangs, and spitting flames appeared in front of you again. The raging sea of ​​fire wrapped you up like a red lotus, but this time with the protection of the Taiyin Armor, you did not feel the fatal threat. Although it was still difficult to move forward, at least you could hold on."

"You walk forward step by step, braving the high temperature and burning brought by the flames. A fire bridge filled with charcoal appears in your field of vision, and at the other end of the fire bridge is the end of the Incense Burner Land."

"You have two choices now?"

"First, turn around and retreat immediately. With the protection of the Taiyin Armor, you can ignore the damage caused by the flames. Although you cannot go deeper, you can at least save your life."

"The second is to continue going deeper. However, the burning bridge filled with charcoal has the power to burn souls. If you step onto the bridge, even if you are in the Exiled World, you will be hurt. You may even be torn apart, leaving behind only a corpse-like body. All your spiritual accomplishments will be in vain, and you won't even have the chance to be reincarnated."

"So, what are you going to choose?"

Faced with the two options given by the game, Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but fall into silence. If the second option was not as described, he would have chosen to go deeper without hesitation.

But now, the description in the game text can have an impact on the real self, which makes Jiang Xinghuo think more.

What should I do if, as the game text says, my soul in real life is shattered and I become a walking corpse that only knows how to eat, drink, defecate and urinate?
For an opportunity with an unknown future, you put yourself on the cusp of life and death. Is this deal worth it? ?
Ask yourself.

Jiang Xinghuo felt it wasn't worth it.

But sometimes, some things, perhaps, cannot be viewed in terms of value or not.

After some psychological struggle.

Jiang Xinghuo finally made his own decision.

That is to continue to go deeper.

If he gave up just like that, he was afraid that he would retreat or become wilted when faced with some danger in the future. In that case, he would still die in the near future, and he would not even live to see the time recorded on the two tombstones, but would die at the hands of other players.

Rather than waiting until that time to die at the hands of others, it is better to die here now. At least this option is not a sure death, and there is still a chance of passing safely.

"You have made up your mind and decided to step onto the burning bridge in front of you that is piled with charcoal."

"You walk slowly forward under the blazing flames. The deeper you go, the more intense the pain your body suffers. Even with the blessing and protection of the Taiyin Armor, you still feel your body gradually drying up."

In reality, Jiang Xinghuo was also sweating profusely. He felt like he was walking in a desert. The water in his body began to be lost rapidly. No matter how he replenished the water, it would be immediately evaporated by the high temperature the moment it entered his body. His lips and skin began to become cracked, and his consciousness became a little blurred.

At this moment, Jiang Xinghuo suddenly remembered the Hou Tu Bao Gao in the Niwan Palace, from which he obtained the "method of summoning the nectar of the sun and the moon". Ordinary liquids could not make up for the rapid loss of water in his body, so the nectar transformed from the nectar of the sun and the moon could not be the same, right?

Jiang Xinghuo immediately gathered his strength and performed this method. The divine light of Hou Tu Baogao flashed in his mind, and a ray of starlight quickly flew out from the Baogao and turned into a talisman hanging in the air.

The next moment, a flash of light appeared on the surface of the talisman, and a cool breath gushed out like a spring and poured into Jiang Xinghuo's body.

The indescribable feeling of heat in the body was instantly relieved. Although there was no water or liquid to replenish, Jiang Xinghuo felt like he had drunk a gulp of sweet spring water. His burned body began to recover quickly. In just a few minutes, Jiang Xinghuo was back to his best condition.

Her skin is moist and plump, her eyes are bright, and she exudes a pure and spiritual aura.

If the encounters of characters in the game can affect reality, then the encounters in reality can naturally affect the characters.

Just after Jiang Xinghuo used the nectar method to restore his strength in reality, the character in the game also received feedback.

"You used the method of summoning the nectar of the sun and the moon."

"The cool and life-giving nectar quickly poured into your body, and your body, which was burned by the high temperature, began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye. Coupled with the blessing and protection of the Taiyin Armor, you soon arrived at the edge of the fire bridge. Do you want to step on it?"

"It's not too late for you to regret now, but once you step onto this fire bridge, there will be no chance to turn back even if you want to."

This time, Jiang Xinghuo did not hesitate at all and chose to step onto the fire bridge decisively.

"You walked onto this burning bridge that was covered in charcoal."

Seeing this text, Jiang Xinghuo had already prepared himself mentally, and the nectar method was ready to be used, but the text that popped up next surprised him.

"You stepped onto the fire bridge, but you didn't feel any pain. Instead, a rich breath of magic power flowed into your body along your feet, not only healing all your injuries, but also the fire bridge under your feet began to change rapidly, and finally transformed into a big tree that was charred all over, but covered with emerald green branches, protecting you firmly under the trunk."

This sudden change caught Jiang Xinghuo off guard. He wondered what was going on. How could a fire bridge suddenly turn into a big tree?

And he healed his injuries?
