My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 796 Sea God Relics
"You can think of it as a large computer server. Such servers are spread all over the corners of the secular world and the Land of Exile, forming a local area network that covers both worlds. You exiles cursed by the secular world can only come to the secular world through this local area network."

The illusory projection of the man in black robe spoke eloquently, and his words startled Jiang Xinghuo.

A server for a mainframe computer?
A local area network spanning two worlds?

Players come to the secular world through these local area networks.

Jiang Xinghuo immediately understood that this black mechanical box was the so-called road home.

It is through these things that game players on Earth can descend to the secular earth in the form of projection.

Jiang Xinghuo didn't expect that he would find the background server of the game "Folk World" here.

This discovery was really beyond his expectations.

As early as when he first entered the game, he knew that this so-called game was actually a medium for projecting and transmitting consciousness. Later, as he explored and discovered the game, he got to know more and more secrets.

But Jiang Xinghuo never thought that he could find the game server.

And it's such a close distance.

So what to do next?
Destruction is definitely impossible.

God knows if the destruction of this thing will lead to some terrible consequences.

What if the game server crashes and you can no longer log into your game account and return to the secular world? That would be a huge loss.

Now, Jiang Xinghuo is 70% to 80% sure about the identity of the projection in front of him. The other party might really be the legendary Zhenwu Lord, otherwise he would not know anything about the way back home.

He remembered that the first time he came across the words "Road to Hometown" was when he was communicating with the Burial Immortal through the Burial Immortal Wooden Slips. The other party mentioned something about the Road to Hometown in his words, saying that it was established by a few old friends with the purpose of guiding the tribesmen in the exile area back to the secular world.

When this plan first started, there were perhaps only a handful of people, but later more and more powerful people joined in.

Many powerful human beings with the characters "Ye" and "Gong" have joined this plan. Jiang Xinghuo knows several of them, so it is not strange that Master Zhenwu is among them.

Jiang Xinghuo remained silent.

The projection of the man in black robe continued to speak:

"This cave is a gift I left for you. Tianji and I worked together to build this cave in order to leave some gifts for the people of our tribe who would be born in the future."

"Tianji and I have deduced what will happen in the next thousand years, and we have discovered that seven people with destiny will be born in the future. They will grow up quickly in the shortest possible time and become the foundation for dealing with those ancient stars and gods. We can even say that they are the deciding factor in victory or defeat."

"But our deductions confused the laws of future time and space, and we were targeted by that group of time travelers. The future has also become chaotic."

"If you insist on deducing, those time travelers may use the power of the ancient gods to deal with us. Although it won't have much impact, it will be difficult to deal with and it will easily arouse the vigilance of those ancient gods of the starry sky. So I and the tomb left that cemetery and buried the life marks of the seven of you in that cemetery from the future."

"In this way, as long as you are born in this world, a grave and a tombstone will automatically form in the cemetery. Each of your dates of birth and death will be updated on it at any time, so that you can keep track of your own situation at any time, and..."

Jiang Xinghuo was listening attentively to the black-robed man's words when he suddenly saw him stop. He couldn't help but feel a little hesitant, thinking that there was something wrong with the projection.

But when he looked up at the projection, he saw the other party take something out of his arms, and then continued:

"This is a gift prepared for you by the tomb. To put it simply, after you die in the outside world, you can be resurrected in that cemetery. Although there is only one chance and the chance of success is not high, if you can successfully come back to life in the cemetery, your cultivation will increase several times at the moment of resurrection, but..."

Jiang Xinghuo listened to the other party's words and learned the function of the seven dry tombs. He couldn't help but feel itchy in his heart. Judging from his current cultivation level, if he could directly multiply it several times, it would definitely be worth more than ten years of cultivation. Dying once can bring such a huge profit. This deal is worth it no matter how you look at it.

But when he heard the unfinished words of the man in black robe, he gave up the idea of ​​dying last time in exchange for cultivation.

"However... after you are resurrected in the cemetery, you cannot leave the cemetery for a short period of time. Unless you can guarantee that your cultivation level can exceed the rules set by the tomb, you can only stay in the cemetery to practice."

After hearing the last words from the man in black robe, Jiang Xinghuo completely stopped and gave up the idea in his mind. Although he was envious of that powerful force, compared with freedom, the latter was more important.

If I were trapped in the cemetery of Zhenwu Cave Heaven, I would not be able to continue the game for a long time.

At this moment, the illusory projection of the person claiming to be Master Zhenwu suddenly shattered, and countless silver-white light particles condensed in mid-air, and finally formed two pet eggs slightly larger than a fist.

Two blurry shadows could be vaguely seen inside the translucent eggshell, and the corresponding information and descriptions also flooded into Jiang Xinghuo's mind at this time.

Jiang Xinghuo digested and absorbed the memories in his mind, and then he understood the origin and purpose of the two pet eggs.

These turned out to be the embryos of the guardian beasts that were personally enlightened by Master Zhenwu with his blood. One only needed to draw the corresponding runes on them with his own blood to make the two beast fetuses break out of their shells, and they would automatically recognize their master and have absolute loyalty and trust.

Jiang Xinghuo immediately cut his fingertips and drew two different runes on the eggshell with blood. Then the two pet eggs in his arms emitted dazzling light and turned into a ferocious alligator turtle and a dragon snake with hideous scales.

According to myths and legends, the Great Emperor Zhenwu has two generals under his command, the tortoise and the snake. Therefore, the tortoise and the snake have become the representatives of the Great Emperor Zhenwu. Wherever there is a Taoist temple of the Great Emperor Zhenwu, there must be incense offerings of the two generals, the tortoise and the snake.

At this moment, Jiang Xinghuo used his own blood to hatch the two generals, the turtle and the snake, and established a very close relationship. The alligator turtle and the dragon snake also crawled over and rubbed his calves affectionately.

These guardian beasts, which were enlightened with their own blood, have unquestionable loyalty to their master. Their loyalty is even stronger than that of the God-Binding and Immortal-Commanding Talisman. The God-Binding and Immortal-Commanding Talisman may be cracked, but these two guardian beasts will only recognize him as their master forever unless they are completely wiped out.

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and put the alligator turtle and the dragon snake into the acupoints of this body without encountering any resistance or stagnation. After solving the problem here.

Jiang Xinghuo turned around and left the secret room. Then, clear light flashed from his fingertips, and he drew a "tracing talisman" out of thin air. He did not forget the Dao Lao ghost who lured him in.

"Tracing Talisman (consumable item), a talisman technique passed down by Taoist Master Lushan. It can search for enemies through the void using the remaining aura. The maximum tracking range can cover an area of ​​about five miles."

"Note that the Tracking Talisman can only be used to track the whereabouts of others, and cannot attack them. It itself has no killing power. However, ordinary concealment methods have no effect on the Tracking Talisman. For example, black dog blood, Tiankui blood, rooster blood, gold juice and other filthy things cannot affect the effect of the Tracking Talisman."

This guy cannot be let go easily no matter what. If I didn't have some skills, I would have died at the hands of this evil ghost long ago.

Jiang Xinghuo used the residual breath in the Ape God Pill as a guide and the characteristics and capabilities of the tracking talisman to begin searching for the whereabouts of the Dao Lao ghost in this underground palace.

Under the guidance of the talisman, Jiang Xinghuo turned around in the underground palace and finally came to another remote place. According to the scale and structure of the underground palace, this should be the burial room, a place specially for placing various funerary objects, but the Dao Lao ghost was hiding here.

At the same time that Jiang Xinghuo sensed the other party, Dao Laogui in the underground palace also sensed his breath, followed by an angry roar.

The trapped beast still fights.

Dao Lao Gui is a very vicious and evil ghost and monster, even though he is facing a desperate situation where he is sure to die.

Jiang Xinghuo fired a divine thunder without hesitation. The purple-red lightning tore through the dim environment in the underground palace, intertwined and twisted into a dragon claw, and slammed fiercely into the burial chamber. The stone door instantly shattered into powder. The purple-red lightning dragon claws fiercely pinched Dao Laogui's broken body, and regardless of its struggle and resistance, it crushed it into ashes.

"You have obtained, Incense +1000."

The moment Jiang Xinghuo killed Dao Laogui, a piece of information suddenly flashed through his mind. The power of incense surged out from the remains of Dao Laogui's body and quickly flowed into his body.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo carefully examined Dao Laogui's body and found several valuable things in it.

"The stomach sac of Dao Lao Gui (rare material). The stomach sac left behind after Dao Lao Gui died has been tainted by poison for many years and has become the source of toxins. If it is fused with one's own organs, one can gain some of Dao Lao Gui's abilities."

The data panel of the Sky-Peeping Eye was shining with a silvery-white luster, clearly explaining the function of the Dao Lao Ghost's stomach sac.

But Jiang Xinghuo was not very interested in this thing. He did not want to turn himself into a half-human, half-ghost and become a source of poison that no one should be allowed to approach.

Just throw it directly into the empty drawer.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo picked up the eyes left behind by Dao Laogui after his death.

"Eyes that can break miasma (rare material). Due to its unique birth environment, Dao Lao Gui has a pair of spiritual eyes that can distinguish miasma. When walking in the mountains and forests, it can often easily distinguish the source of miasma and will not fall into the traps of the monsters in the mountains. At the same time, this pair of spiritual eyes can also dispel all kinds of poisons, especially the endless plague miasma in the mountains."

Finally, there is the skin of Dao Laogui left.

Although Dao Laogui's body was shattered by the Divine Thunder, his tough skin remained.

Jiang Xinghuo pulled hard with both hands, but the skin did not react at all. Its toughness was far beyond his imagination. Even the thunder method could not tear it apart by force. Instead, most of the power was removed.

"Mountain goblin skin (rare material). According to the records in Folklore and Strange Tales, if a Dao Lao ghost lives in an environment with abundant spiritual energy, its life level will be improved, and it can even be reborn from death, transforming from a Dao Lao ghost into a "mountain dweller."

"Mountain dwellers: A rare kind of monster in the secular world. It is said that they are the favorites of the mountains and can integrate themselves into the mountains and rivers. Unless the mountains and rivers where their souls reside are destroyed, mountain dwellers will never die."

"This Dao Lao ghost has been nourished by the spiritual energy in the Zhenwu Cave Heaven and has begun to gradually transform its life level, but it has not completely transformed itself into a mountain dweller. It is just a superficial transformation."

"This piece of broken mountain man's skin is a good material for forging armor and protective gear. It is enough to withstand the attacks of some magical weapons."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the information from the Sky-Peeking Eye and had a general understanding of the three things he found, and he also knew the value of these three things.

Especially when exploring Lingnan and Fujian in the secular world, the things left by Dao Laogui can come in very handy.

After collecting the things left by Dao Laogui, Jiang Xinghuo began to explore the burial room again. There were no rare treasures placed here, but instead it was filled with various weapons.

Many of these items are ancient props that possess supernatural powers.

"Tripwire (Excellent Item), a unique weapon used in ancient battlefields to deal with cavalry charges and surprise attacks. It can affect all odd-toed ungulates, ignoring the difference in cultivation and strength, causing them to suddenly fall from their running state. However, when using it, it must be thrown at the feet of the target."

"Divine Fire Flying Crow (consumable item), an iron bird that can automatically transform into a flying crow. It has lightning and fire in its belly, and can track and search for hidden targets. The explosion covers a range of about three meters."

"Kongming Lantern (Excellent Item) was originally a prop used to transmit military intelligence signals. After the passage of time, it has become a mascot for warding off disasters and praying for blessings. After it is launched into the air, it can take away one's bad luck and has a chance of fulfilling a wish in one's heart. The probability depends on the strength of the wish."

Jiang Xinghuo searched through the burial chamber and threw everything that the Sky-Peeking Eye found useful into the void drawer.

Even if you can't use it yourself, you can take it to the Public Opinion Survey Bureau to exchange for favors, or you can throw it into a niche and sell it for a lot of money.

At this moment, Jiang Xinghuo suddenly found an inconspicuous helmet placed in the corner of the wall. Although it looked rusty on the surface, it exuded a familiar smell.

Jiang Xinghuo subconsciously opened the Sky-Watcher's Eye and looked at the rusty helmet, but the information he saw stunned him.

"You have discovered the relic of Poseidon..."
