My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 800 Weird House
Jiang Xinghuo released a strong murderous intent, and the invisible aura surged like a tsunami. The young man in the windbreaker had many illusions in front of his eyes, as if he was in a sea of ​​blood and corpses, with countless hideous evil spirits stretching out their arms, as if they wanted to drag him into the endless abyss.

The young man in the windbreaker was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

But this feeling soon disappeared without a trace. Jiang Xinghuo stood in front of him with a warm smile, stretched out his hand to help him up from the ground, and said with a smile: "It was just a little joke, leader, please don't mind. I still have some use for these things. After I'm done with them, I will hand them over to the relevant departments."

"Okay, okay, it's okay. Yes, it was just a little joke. I just didn't stand firmly and accidentally tripped over a rock."

The young man in the windbreaker forced a smile on his face and agreed with Jiang Xinghuo's words.

Although he was arrogant, he was not a fool who could not understand the expressions on others' faces. He knew very well whether it was a joke or not. If he continued to pester her, he might really die here today.

As the saying goes, as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.

After leaving here, he will have plenty of ways to deal with these people. Now he is at a disadvantage, so it is better for him to behave himself and act like a grandson.

Seeing how Jiang Xinghuo and the young man in the windbreaker were getting along so well, a hint of disappointment flashed across Qi Hu's face. He really hoped that Jiang Xinghuo would kill that guy, then everyone could save a lot of trouble.

Jiang Xinghuo also secretly took in the expressions of the crowd. He was not an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy who would do nothing when he got angry. If he really dared to kill someone in front of others, it would be equivalent to handing his own pain to others.

Even if Qi Hu and others would not use this matter to threaten him, this handle might cause him big trouble at any time.

Therefore, killing is allowed, but it must never be done in front of other people, nor can it be done by letting others know that you killed the person.

This young man in windbreaker is a vengeful person, and it seems that he has some status in Beijing. Although he has surrendered now, who can guarantee that he will not use his power to attack himself or his family after he leaves here?

So this person must die. After leaving Zhenwu Cave Heaven, his death will come. Or, within Zhenwu Cave Heaven, I can find a way to kill him if I have a chance, but the prerequisite is that I have to clear myself. You can suspect that I killed someone, but you cannot have evidence to prove that I killed someone.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo walked to Qi Hu again and asked, "Where is Director Chen?"

"Director Chen is at the deepest part of Zhenwu Cave Heaven. He has a token left by Master Zhenwu in his hand, which can lead him directly to the deepest part of Zhenwu Cave Heaven. But only with the token left by Master Zhenwu can we reach that place. Even if we want to go over and help, we are powerless."

Hearing Qi Hu's words, Jiang Xinghuo remembered the jade pendant on his body. That should be the token left by Master Zhenwu. Perhaps he could use it to enter the depths of Zhenwu Cave Heaven.

"Now what?"

Jiang Xinghuo deliberately asked: "How do we leave here?"

"We can only wait for the director to come back and find us."

Qi Hu said: "The token in the director's hand can take us away from Zhenwu Cave Heaven, otherwise we will not be able to leave here in a short time."

"What if Chen Yuanchao doesn't come back?"

The young man in windbreaker suddenly asked.

Qi Hu glanced at him and said, "If the director can't get back within the next few days, then we can only wait until the full moon night of next month, and Zhenwu Cave Heaven will automatically exclude us from here."

When the young man in the windbreaker heard this, his face changed immediately: "No! I still have things to do and can't waste time here!!"

"If Captain Shen has the ability to leave here, he can try it himself. I don't have this ability, so I can only wait for the director to come."

After saying that, Qi Hu no longer paid attention to the young man in the windbreaker, but sat on the ground to rest. The other members of the Public Opinion Survey Bureau also began to move freely, either resting on the spot or exploring far away.

Jiang Xinghuo also took this opportunity to walk away. The young man in the windbreaker wanted to go out and explore, but he was afraid that Jiang Xinghuo would secretly harm him, so he could only sit next to Qi Hu in frustration.

He knew that he was not liked by others, but Qi Hu would not take the initiative to do anything to him. As long as he could leave here safely, everything else would be fine.

Jiang Xinghuo ignored everyone else and just walked away. The sky was covered with dark clouds and the ground was barren. It looked like an abandoned town. Although the buildings had collapsed into ruins, a few of them were still well preserved.

Jiang Xinghuo walked into an abandoned house, which was a typical ancient Chinese house, and it looked quite eerie against the backdrop of the surrounding environment.

And the moment he stepped into the house, Jiang Xinghuo felt a chill on his back, as if he was being stared at by something, but when he carefully sensed it, he found nothing.

"Hallucination?"

Jiang Xinghuo raised his brows slightly and put away the jade pendant left by Master Zhenwu. He originally wanted to activate the jade pendant in the form of a cicada shell clone while no one was noticing, so as to reach the deepest part of the Zhenwu Cave Heaven, but this feeling of being on edge made him change his mind.

This seemingly ordinary and gloomy old house may not be as simple as it seems.

Jiang Xinghuo thought for a moment and took out a crown of thorns from the void drawer.

"The Crown of Thorns of the Anointed (legendary prop), the crown left behind by the first Anointed One in history. When worn on the head, it can greatly increase spiritual power and gain the blessing of the Lord of the Mass. Innate ability: Holy Light."

"Holy Light: The flawless light created by the power of the soul has a strong purifying effect on all the filth in the world."

This crown of thorns was found by Jiang Xinghuo in an abandoned church. It can weave spiritual power into a net that covers a specific area.

If there really is something hiding in the dark and spying on me, even if the naked eye cannot detect it, the network woven by mental power should be able to sense it.

Jiang Xinghuo casually threw the crown of thorns above his head. The crown of thorns floated about three inches above his head. His mental power quickly spread outwards, covering the entire ancient house.

But the next moment, Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but take a breath.

Because in his perception, this ancient house is not an empty abandoned house at all, but an extremely "lively" Chinese-style mansion.

There are people in every corner of the ancient house, they are either sitting, standing, or lying. Although their existence cannot be seen with the naked eye, their location can be clearly felt with the power of the crown of thorns.

Jiang Xinghuo had never encountered such a strange phenomenon.

Even though his eyes could see through reality, he couldn't detect the existence of these figures, which was enough to show how strange and weird these things were. "Is it a ghost?"

Jiang Xinghuo frowned and stepped back subconsciously, planning to leave the old house first. He was not in a game now, so even if he died, he could be resurrected infinitely.

Now that he has come here in his true form, if he really gets trapped here, it would be a waste of time.

But just as Jiang Xinghuo walked to the door and was about to leave, he suddenly heard a sour sound from the door behind him, and the two wooden doors with mottled vermilion paint closed automatically.

In other words, in his subjective vision, the two doors closed automatically, but in his spiritual perception, it was two hunchbacked old men who closed the doors.

Jiang Xinghuo's heart suddenly shuddered. What did this mean? They didn't want him to leave?

Do these ghosts intend to keep me here forever?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo narrowed his eyes slightly, suppressing the restlessness and uneasiness in his heart, pretending that he did not notice the existence of those figures. He walked to the closed door and pushed it tentatively. The two seemingly shabby wooden doors were very solid and could not be shaken at all.

Jiang Xinghuo even used all his strength, but still couldn't push the two doors open.

Through the gap between the doors, the figures of Qi Hu and others could be vaguely seen, and they seemed to have not noticed anything unusual here.

Seeing that he could not push open the two doors, Jiang Xinghuo looked up at the sky above the house. He didn't know when the sky, which was originally covered with dark clouds, suddenly became pitch black, just like the middle of the night.

"A special area like a barrier formation?"

Jiang Xinghuo pondered secretly in his heart, and looked back at the ancient house shrouded in darkness. In the perception of the Crown of Thorns, the things in the ancient house were still there, and they were much more active than before, as if they had woken up from silence. They all turned their heads to look in the direction of the gate, or turned their heads to look at him.

Jiang Xinghuo finally understood where the feeling of being watched came from after entering the ancient house. It was from the original residents of this ancient house.

Jiang Xinghuo took a deep breath, took out a torch, and lit the golden-red Kitchen God fire.

The Kitchen God's fire is a flame that upholds righteousness and wards off evil. It is the nemesis of all dark and evil spirits. Although he does not know who the indigenous inhabitants of the ancient house are, he thinks that they cannot escape the barriers of evil creatures, and the Kitchen God's fire may have some effect on them.

Jiang Xinghuo walked into the ancient house holding a torch. The golden-red flames illuminated the surroundings. He also deliberately walked past the two hunchbacked old ghosts at the door. He obviously noticed that the two old ghosts took a few steps back, as if they were very afraid of the Kitchen God's fire.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xinghuo felt relieved. He was not afraid of these strange things, but he was afraid that there was no way to restrain them. As long as there was a way to restrain them, other problems would be easy to solve.

Jiang Xinghuo walked through the front hall and came to the first room on the left. With the blessing of the anointed one's crown of thorns, he could clearly see the residents in this room.

It is a woman in a wedding dress.

Although her head was covered with a veil embroidered with the word "囍" (囍) in gold thread, the position in which the other person was sitting and the direction of her head were facing exactly where she was.

Jiang Xinghuo just took a glance and then looked away.

These ghosts probably don't know that you can see them, so it's better to be careful. What if these things have the characteristics that seeing means contact, which would cause trouble for you.

Jiang Xinghuo pushed open the door and walked into the house. The Kitchen God's fire illuminated the entire room, and also revealed some things hidden in the shadows.

For example... scattered bones.

For example...a dark-skinned child.

Jiang Xinghuo's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He didn't expect that besides the woman in the wedding dress, there was such a strange thing in this room.

The child looked to be about five or six years old. He was dark all over, with a naked upper body and torn linen pants. His grinning mouth revealed fang-like sharp teeth. It was obvious that he was not a normal child.

Jiang Xinghuo calmly opened the Eye of the Sky-Peeker, his eyes seemingly glancing aside unintentionally, intending to first see where these two things came from.

"The ghost bride, a bride who died tragically at the hands of her husband on her wedding night, was filled with resentment and became a fierce ghost. Not only did she kill her husband with her own hands, she also killed her parents and relatives who pushed her into the fire pit. Later, she used her husband's remaining blood and essence as an embryo to give birth to a ghost baby, which likes to devour the blood, flesh and soul of young men the most."

"Ghost baby, a ghost bred by the ghost bride with the remaining blood of starving ghosts. Therefore, it has no ability to think for itself and only knows to follow its mother's orders. It also has the power of starving ghosts to devour everything."

"Be careful, because this ancient house is a product transformed from a prison-type prop, it has some unknown characteristics. As long as these evil spirits don't realize that you can see them, they can't attack you. Otherwise, they can ignore any defenses and directly cause fatal danger to you."

Looking at the information found by the Sky-Peeking Eye, Jiang Xinghuo felt more confident. As long as these evil spirits didn't realize that he could see them, he would be absolutely safe.

It seems a bit like a rule story. As long as you don't violate the rules, you don't have to worry about your life being in danger.

However, although this condition seems simple, it is actually not that easy. It would be fine if you can't see the two ghosts, but once you can sense the existence of these two ghosts, you will inevitably reveal some flaws, and in the end you will not be able to escape death.

Jiang Xinghuo lit the oil lamp on the table and pretended not to see the ghost baby in the corner, but the ghost bride on the bed turned her head in one direction, just in time to see all of Jiang Xinghuo's actions.

Then he began to explore the house.

The room was not big. The ghost baby squatted on the ground, looking at Jiang Xinghuo, ready to pounce at any time.

Jiang Xinghuo could even smell the stench coming from the other person.

But in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Jiang Xinghuo still chose to ignore the ghost baby. As long as the other party did not take the initiative to attack him, he would not take the initiative to provoke the mother and daughter.

He didn't look for trouble, but trouble found him.

The ghost bride suddenly walked down from the bed, exuding a refreshing fragrance, and slowly came to Jiang Xinghuo's side...
