My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 817: Rooting out and Tiger Gate Guest
Jiang Xinghuo opened his eyes, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and the essence of the Five Ghosts Soul-stealing Technique was fully grasped.

Moreover, with the assistance of the Five Ghosts Moving Technique and the Five Ghosts Door-Knocking Technique, the power of this Five Ghosts Soul-stealing Technique has also been amplified, making it several times stronger than when performed alone.

It was only at this moment that Jiang Xinghuo felt the horror of the Five Ghosts Technique.

He has only acquired three of the Five Ghost Techniques and yet they are so powerful. If he could inherit the entire Five Ghost Technique lineage, the power would probably increase tenfold. Even compared with the magical skills such as the Dragon Raising Technique and the Nine Death Cicada, it would probably not be much worse.

There is also the Five Ghost Immortal mentioned in the game text. From the name, we can tell that the Five Ghosts Technique was passed down by him, and he must be a well-known powerful person in the secular world.

Jiang Xinghuo secretly kept this matter in mind.

To be honest, he didn't really take the Five Ghost Technique seriously at first. He thought it was just an ordinary technique, at best epic level. But now he must change his point of view. If he has the chance in the future, he will try his best to get all the remaining Five Ghost Techniques. Presumably by that time, he will have another technique of legendary or even mythical quality.

Jiang Xinghuo thought about all this in his mind as he took out the hair of the young man in the windbreaker. Now that he had the Five Ghosts Soul-stealing Technique at his disposal, he could avoid the traces left by the nail-head book, so there was no need to delay any further.

"The five ghosts are seeking your life, chasing your soul and taking your spirit away. Your body is destroyed and your spirit is annihilated. The law is the most important. The divine talisman orders you to obey. If you dare to disobey, the thunder axe will not tolerate you. Hurry and obey the order!"

Jiang Xinghuo formed seals with his hands and uttered thundering sounds. The ancient Bodhi tree spread out behind him and Ling Chi's figure also appeared, transforming into an invisible dark wind that swirled in the living room.

"I will obey the law!"

As the sound of Ling Chi was heard, a few strands of hair in Jiang Xinghuo's hand burned to ashes and were swept away by the cold wind transformed by Ling Chi. They then rushed out of the shop and disappeared.

Jiang Xinghuo looked in the direction where Ling Chi disappeared, and then just waited quietly for further developments.

The reason why he chose to use the Five Ghosts Soul-stealing Technique to command the Ling Chi ghost was because he did not know the details of the young man in the windbreaker, so he sent Ling Chi, who was a famous and fierce ghost, over there. This way, even if something really went wrong, the loss would not be too great.

More importantly, Ling Chi's life and death are in his own hands. If Ling Chi is trapped or captured, he can make Ling Chi fall into a deep sleep or die in a moment without revealing his existence.

the other side.

Beijing.

High-speed rail platform.

"Where does such a strong wind come from? It's quite cold."

Before Shen Xing had walked far after getting out of the car, he felt a biting cold wind blowing. It was the hottest time of summer, but he felt unusually cold.

This trip to Binhai was a huge loss of face for him.

Not only did he get nothing, but he also offended a lot of people. He can no longer come to the Binhai Public Opinion Survey Bureau. People know their own business. If he dares to come again, he might be killed by those people in broad daylight.

Especially what happened in Zhenwu Cave Heaven, if there hadn't been so many people watching, he had no doubt that the man would kill him.

Thinking of this, a hint of regret and jealousy flashed in Shen Xing's eyes.

He had been coveting the Five Emperors' Banner for a long time. Earlier, it was in the hands of Yang Lie of the Longyin Society. Due to the huge difference in strength, he had no way to snatch it and could only stare at it helplessly.

Who would have known that inside the Zhenwu Cave Heaven, it was actually obtained by an unknown player. He originally thought that he could take the item for himself by taking advantage of the pressure from the Public Opinion Survey Bureau, but he never expected that he almost brought about a fatal disaster.

He was a young man from a wealthy family and had some status in the Beijing Public Opinion Survey Bureau. The elders in his family were also of high status. When had he ever suffered such a big loss?

"Damn it, I'll put this Five Emperors Banner in your hands first. In a few days, I'll ask you to come to my door in person and beg me to take it."

While Shen Xing was fantasizing about these things in his mind, he walked out of the station.

But as he walked, he found that his limbs were out of control and his legs could not even move a step. Before he could react, his arms also became out of control. He stood there like a sculpture, and except for his mind, no other part of his body could move.

"How...how could this happen?"

Shen Xing felt a sense of fear in his heart, and suddenly a hallucination-like scene appeared in front of his eyes. He saw an old friend dressed as a Confucian scholar, holding a short knife and quickly cutting his body, but he did not feel any pain at all. It was just that all the muscles and tendons in his body had been cut off, leaving only bones barely supporting his body.

Seeing this scene, a word suddenly flashed through Shen Xing's mind: cut into pieces!

Then he saw the man dressed as a Confucian scholar stabbing the final knife into his heart.

After that, Shen Xing knew nothing. His cold body fell to the ground, and the last trace of consciousness disappeared.

This sudden scene startled the pedestrians and station attendants around. They hurriedly ran over with first aid items, but what was waiting for them was a cold corpse.

Of course, no one noticed the ring on the corpse's hand, which disappeared without a trace after being blown away by the wind.

Maybe someone noticed it, but they just thought it was their own eyesight that made a mistake.

Marina.

Inside the folk shop.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the storage ring in his hand and thought that Ling Chi was quite reliable. After all, he was an old ghost who had lived for countless years and knew the principle of taking the spoils after killing someone.

Moreover, Jiang Xinghuo saw the whole process of Ling Chi killing Shen Xing clearly through the revolving lantern. To outsiders, it seemed that he was just walking and suddenly stopped, and then fell to the ground and died within two seconds. There was no external force involved in the whole process, just like a sudden death from a heart attack.

However, Jiang Xinghuo was also prepared for someone to come and ask questions. The other party's identity was obviously not ordinary, and as someone who had contact with him, it was normal to be questioned.

there is always a solution to a problem.

It's nothing to worry about.

If the other party takes advantage of their power and dares to take action, I am not so weak that I can't get angry. At worst, I can just hold a night parade of a hundred ghosts in the capital and have some good fun with the experts from the Public Opinion Survey Bureau.

It's probably not a good deal to offend a living person who can kill them all for the sake of a dead person.

Taking a step back, if they really fell out, he could just expose the existence of Radiation Gu. I believe many people would communicate with him in a friendly manner then.

While Jiang Xinghuo was thinking about these random things, he also checked the other things that the drug addict gave him.

"A worn-out oil lamp (ordinary item). A worn-out oil lamp without oil. When lit, it can help you sleep and calm your mind."

"But you have discovered the secret hidden in this oil lamp by carefully observing it. This lamp is very similar to the seven-star lamp used by Taoists to pray for blessings. Do you want to take out the lamp oil to verify it?"

"Please note that the oil used in the Seven Star Lamp for the prayer is mermaid oil. Ordinary lamp oil cannot exert its effect and ability."

Mermaid oil?
Jiang Xinghuo opened the backpack panel and searched carefully, and found that there was still half a pot of mermaid oil left, so he directly clicked and chose to use it.

"You have used the mermaid oil."

"You lit this lamp with mermaid oil."

"Your spirit is nourished by the light, and your physical strength has been slightly improved."

"You have discovered the Seven-Star Life-Extending Lamp, Can (Excellent)."

"Seven-Star Life-Extending Lamp, Incomplete (Excellent Item), a Taoist exclusive magical tool for praying for the dead, it has the effect of praying for life and calming the soul, but it requires a total of 49 lamps. A single incomplete lamp can only temporarily hold on to the last breath, barely extending life for three days."

"Please note that people who have successfully used the Seven Star Life-Extending Lamp to extend their life will be repelled by other elixirs and spells that extend their lifespan, and any other means will no longer be able to extend their lifespan."

Looking at this text, Jiang Xinghuo thought that the ancestors of this drug addict were really extraordinary.

Whether it is the bronze ghost head containing the Five Ghosts' Soul-stealing Technique, or this incomplete Seven-Star Life-extending Lamp, they are not things that ordinary people can get. They must have a profound origin. The remaining two things must also have their own mysteries.

"A worn-out statue of the Nine Wealth Gods (a scrap prop). It is a group statue of the Nine Wealth Gods. However, due to the age, the statue is dilapidated and the decoration inside has lost its effect. It needs to be repaired before it can be restored. If you place it at home and burn three incense sticks in the morning and evening to offer it, it can greatly improve the family's wealth and fortune, and it can also summon the projections of the Nine Wealth Gods to help."

"Please note that the Nine Gods of Wealth are secular gods in folk beliefs, but they each have their own duties in Buddhism and Taoism. They are all secular gods derived from the Great God of Subduing Demons, and they possess high-end combat power that is no less than that of the Taoist Emperor."

"According to secular folklore, if someone can gain the favor of the Nine Gods of Wealth, they will have the hope of receiving their gifts and becoming their spokesperson in the secular world."

"Materials needed to repair the Nine-Road God of Wealth: nine different kinds of precious wood, a pot of pure rootless water, a bowl of incense ash that has been offered to the god for more than three hundred years, a portion of real ghost fairy cinnabar, and twelve Twelve Fine Herbs that have been burned for more than a hundred years."

Jiang Xinghuo took a look at the things he needed. Everything else was easy to deal with, except that he didn't know what the real Ghost Immortal Cinnabar meant.

Cinnabar is originally known as ghost fairy cinnabar. Is it possible that this thing is true or false?

Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the text curiously, and the relevant entry information popped up immediately.

"You have triggered the storyteller's golden collection of books."

"Searching for terms..."

"Please wait……"

"The entry has been found."

"Editing for you, please wait..."

"Entry editing is complete, please read:"

"Ghost Immortal Cinnabar: All cinnabar in the secular world is called Ghost Immortal Cinnabar, but most of them are just borrowed from that name. The real Ghost Immortal Cinnabar only exists in the place where the Ghost Immortal is buried. It looks like an immortal's molt, and is all red. It has the magical effect of turning decay into something new. Legend has it that if you bury bones in it, flesh will grow on them after a hundred years, and you will be reborn after death."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the entry in the Golden Chamber Collection and finally knew what Ghost Immortal Cinnabar was.

"This is difficult to handle..."

Jiang Xinghuo sucked his teeth. This kind of cinnabar only existed in the burial place of ghosts and immortals. It was not easy to find it. It seemed that he had to put it aside for the time being and go back to the teahouse to ask the storyteller to see if he could find out any information about it.

If it really doesn't work, this matter will have to be implemented on the mob.

Finally, there is only one Dharmakaya statue left with eight ears, nine eyes and thirteen hands.

"The eight-ear, nine-eye, thirteen-arm Dharmakaya statue (common prop) is a statue of the main deity passed down from the Mahavairocana Tantric Buddhism. It is suspected to be one of the lost wrathful Dharmakayas of Vajrabhairava. Its function and efficacy are unknown. It may have been sealed in some special way. The seal may be removed by pouring the magic power cultivated by the Tantric practice into it. However, if the seal is removed, it will easily attract the covetousness of the Mahavairocana Tantric Buddhism."

"Legend has it that Mahavairocana encountered an accident that year, and Vajrabhairava was severely injured by a mysterious master. He was forcibly deprived of his thirteen Dharmakaya statues. Later, only five Dharmakaya statues were traced back, and the whereabouts of the other eight Dharmakaya statues were unknown. Mahavairocana once said that if anyone could find the lost Dharmakaya statue of Vajrabhairava, then all the inheritances in the Mahavairocana Sutra Library would be opened to them, and they would have authority and status second only to the Great Hutuktu."

Looking at the last pop-up game text, Jiang Xinghuo narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself, could such an ordinary item really be something lost by the Great Sun Esoteric Sect?
If this is true, this may be the stepping stone to opening up the map of Gumi City.

Gumi City is the headquarters of the Mahavairocana Sect, but he has come across very little information about it. He only knows that there is such a place, but has not obtained any relevant maps, so he has no idea what it looks like there.

After pondering for a while, Jiang Xinghuo put away the statue of the Dharma body, intending to go there when he had the chance to see if he could trigger the plot of the ancient secret city.

At this point, everything has been counted, and Jiang Xinghuo tapped the screen to move on to the new plot.

"You took away the things the addict gave you, and the addict also obtained the fire-refined ointment that can help people quit smoking. At the same time, you also told the addict how to obtain this thing, and told him that he can use this method to help more people quit smoking Fu Shou cigarettes in the future, until the harm caused by Fu Shou cigarettes is completely eradicated from the secular world."

"The addict also expressed his sincerity to you and swore to carry out the anti-smoking campaign to the end. From now on, he will be called Humenke, in memory of Shilin Sanren who was killed by King Taiping in Humen Gorge in the South China Sea for fighting against Fu Shouyan."

"The drug addict, no, now he should be called Humenke, he left Jiangnan and planned to find a place to completely quit his addiction to smoking. What are you going to do next?"

"Will you continue on your journey to Fujian and Guangdong? Or will you choose to explore other places?"

"You chose to continue heading towards Fujian and Guangdong."

"On the way..."
