My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 819 Happy New Year!

"You used the Dragon Snake Double Kill Sword Technique to tear open a hole in the encirclement of Meishan disciples. Although you caught them off guard, the Meishan disciples are extremely experienced in actual combat, so they reacted quickly. Several masters immediately rushed towards you."

"Moreover, the weapons in their hands are also the perfect counter to the Meteor Lock of the Twin Swords. As long as the Meteor Lock entangles the Twin Swords in your hands, your swordsmanship will lose all its power."

"However, those disciples of the escort company who were trapped in the encirclement were no ordinary people. They immediately launched a counterattack when they got the chance and quickly evacuated outside the encirclement."

"Although the Meteor Lock is the nemesis of the Mandarin Duck Twin Swords, that is only for ordinary swordsmen. For you who possess the supernatural power of swordsmanship, the Meteor Lock will not cause any trouble to you at all."

"The sword body trembled slightly, and two silver-white sword lights flew out, like the twists and turns of a spirit snake, like a long dragon straightening an arrow. The iron-forged meteor lock broke into pieces, and the Meishan disciple holding the long lock also died tragically under your sword light."

"You have killed, Meishan disciple +5."

"You have received incense +1500."

"You used your sword skills to activate the Dragon Snake Double Kill Sword Technique and single-handedly blocked all the Meishan disciples, giving the other disciples of the escort company precious time to escape."

"And those traps set outside had no effect on the experienced disciples of the escort company. They were easily spotted and dodged. What do you plan to do now?"

"Those Escort disciples have already fled to a safe place. Do you plan to continue to fight with these Meishan disciples? Or are you going to meet up with those Escort disciples who have escaped?"

The game gave two options, and Jiang Xinghuo made his own choice after a brief thought.

"You don't plan to continue to fight with these Meishan disciples, but prepare to leave the battle and meet up with the Escort disciples."

"But just when you were about to withdraw, you suddenly felt a powerful force descending. The aura of an inconspicuous Meishan disciple had undergone a drastic change. He went from an ordinary disciple with mediocre kung fu skills to a powerful monster."

Ok?
Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo immediately thought of the content mentioned in the previous text.

It is said that in addition to martial arts, the Meishan lineage also has a branch that practices both magic and martial arts. One can borrow the power of the Meishan master by summoning gods and writing with the help of a planchette.

Judging from the description in the game text, this Meishan disciple who suddenly changed was probably the one who invited the arrival of the Meishan Dharma Master.

"You were attacked by the Meishan medium."

"The Meishan Ji Tong invited a ray of the Meishan Master's spirit, which possessed powerful strength. With just one punch, he broke through the blockade of the sword light and dealt you a heavy blow."

"Your health is decreasing rapidly..."

"Current health: 75%."

"But fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. Although you were seriously injured by the Meishan medium who borrowed the power of the Meishan master, you also took this opportunity to retreat and blocked your vision with the blinding talisman you prepared in advance, escaping quietly from the encirclement of the Meishan disciples."

"You have escaped the pursuit of Meishan disciples."

"The Meishan Jitong wanted to use the power of the Meishan Master to track your existence, but was blocked by the fragments of the law of cause and effect in your body, which cut off all the cause and effect lines."

"You found the escort disciples hiding in the dark. Although they have escaped the encirclement, they have suffered heavy losses. Only a few of them have survived, and they are seriously injured. Even if they are lucky enough to save their lives, they can no longer escort the escort and can only hide to recover from their injuries."

"At this time, the old escort leader of the escort company suddenly asked you why your swordsmanship improved so much in such a short period of time. It was as if you had become a different person. Before that, your swordsmanship was only good, but far from the level you have today."

"How are you going to answer the old escort leader's question now?"

"Will you choose to tell the truth, reveal your identity, and tell them that you are not a disciple of the escort company? Or will you choose to be hypocritical and find an excuse to get away with it?"

"Of course, you can also choose to use the tiger's skin and pull the flag, for example, put all the blame on the Great Escort King. As the leader of the escort company, the Great Escort King is also well-known in the secular world. The Yangwei Club he presides over is the largest escort agency in the world. He is also a kind-hearted and chivalrous man. He once fought a bloody battle thousands of miles alone for a promise, just to send a child to his father."

"After becoming famous, the Great Escort King also had many matrix clones in the secular world. They traveled all over the world, punishing villains and taking care of all the injustices in the world. If they encountered people in the escort industry who were in trouble, they would also help them in secret."

"So, you can just push all the blame onto the Great Escort King. After all, he has done this kind of secret teaching before, and it just happens to fit your current identity as a disciple of the Escort Company, and it won't arouse suspicion from others."

There are three options: tell the truth, brush it off casually, or put the blame on the King of Escorts.

The three answers correspond to three different subsequent plots. The most promising one is obviously the third option, which puts all the blame on the King of Escorts.

In this way, maybe he could gain the trust of these people in the escort company and trigger some new plots from them.

"You heard what the old escort leader said, and you pushed all the blame on the Great Escort King, saying that when you were fighting with the Meishan disciples, you met the Great Escort King's avatar walking in the secular world. The Great Escort King not only rescued you, but also taught you a set of double sword fighting methods, which was how you were able to rescue everyone from the encirclement."

"After hearing what you said, the old escort leader had no doubts at all. He had guessed this in his mind when he saw your swordsmanship. Because apart from the help of the Great Escort King, he really couldn't think of any reason why your swordsmanship could have increased so dramatically in such a short period of time."

"The old escort leader sighed, your current cultivation level has far surpassed his. Even in the entire escort agency, there are not many who can compare with you. This time when we went out, we were robbed by the masters of Meishan Sect. We thought that the whole army would be wiped out and all died in the hands of those people."

"But God has a vision, allowing you to meet the avatar of the Great Escort King and obtain his inheritance. As a result, the task of escorting the convoy has to fall on you. When escorting people all over the world, loyalty comes first. Since you have already accepted this convoy, as long as there is one person alive in the escort agency, you must deliver the convoy to the owner. Even if you die or are injured, it is because of your own lack of skills, not others."

"The old escort leader spit out an iron box, indicating that this is the cargo they are escorting. Now they have no ability to stop you. If you want to embezzle this thing, you can just swing the long sword in your hand to kill all the escorts and porters. Afterwards, you can push the matter to Meishanmen, and no one will suspect you."

"What are you going to choose now?"

"Will you choose to put away this iron box, complete this escort mission, and deliver the goods to the owner? Or will you choose to be tempted by the money and kill people for the treasure? Anyway, no one can stop you."

Seeing the familiar tone of the copywriter, Jiang Xinghuo smacked his lips. The copywriter was still the same, trying every means to abduct him to make a mistake. If he chose to kill people and steal treasures, the subsequent plot would probably end here. So it is more appropriate to choose to continue escorting the goods to trigger a new text plot.

"You picked up the iron box on the ground, indicating that you would fulfill your duty as an escort and deliver the goods to the owner."

"The old escort nodded with relief after hearing what you said, but you did miss a great opportunity. If you had chosen to kill people and steal the treasure just now, they really couldn't stop you, even now. If you regret it, it's not too late. Do you want to change your mind?"

"You remained firm in your decision and did not attack the severely injured escort in front of you."

"You have triggered the blessing state of the magical beast Xiezhi."

"The blessing of the law beast Xiezhi (permanent state). The law beast Xiezhi gives you blessing and protection. When you encounter evil people who violate the law and justice in the future, your attributes in all aspects will be improved. At the same time, the more righteous things you do, the stronger this blessing will be. On the contrary, if you do evil things, the blessing will weaken or even disappear from you completely."

"Your actions have been recognized by the magic beast Xiezhi. Your magic power has been slightly improved, and your mental resistance has been significantly improved."

The moment the game text flashed by, Jiang Xinghuo felt a coolness immediately surge in his mind, and the fatigue and sleepiness in his body disappeared instantly.

Jiang Xinghuo was quite surprised.

The blessing of the magical beast Xiezhi is a state he obtained when he was exploring the Criminal Court Hall in Peking. Simply put, the more good things he does, the greater the positive feedback he will get, and all aspects of his physical attributes will be significantly improved.

"When the old escort saw you put away the iron box, he also told you the owner's information. You have to deliver the box to the Fuchun Teahouse in Lingnan City within a month. Then go to Room Tianzi C and light two sky lanterns. Then you can meet the owner. As long as the token matches, you can hand over the goods to the other party."

"While saying this, the old escort took out half a broken jade pendant from his arms. The owner of the goods is determined by the pendant, not the person. As long as the half jade pendant matches the owner of the iron box, there is no need to investigate the rest."

"You have obtained the incomplete jade pendant."

"The incomplete jade pendant (common item) is cut from a whole piece of jade. The material itself is not particularly special, but the symbolic meaning is different."

"Now that you have the owner's token and the escorted goods, what are you going to do next?"

"Will you go to the Fuchun Teahouse in Lingnan City to look for the mysterious owner? Or will you go to other areas of Fujian and Guangdong to explore?"

When Jiang Xinghuo took a look at the content of the text, he realized that it was all about that place, so it didn't matter which one he went to first. It was just a matter of going earlier or later.

"You chose to go to Lingnan City."

"It is expected to arrive at the destination in about twenty-three hours."

"If you choose a mount or other props to assist in traveling, you can greatly shorten the travel time. Do you want to choose to travel by props?"

"You chose to travel on foot."

"On the way, please wait..."

The game entered a semi-idle state again.

Jiang Xinghuo also lifted the state of the human-ghost fusion technique, put the corpse in a coffin, and deliberately used the props of the corpse driver to prevent the body from rotting and being unable to be used again.

soon.

More than twenty hours passed.

During this period, Jiang Xinghuo did not encounter any unexpected situations and his journey was smooth. He only encountered bandits when he was traveling by water. He earned a considerable amount of money and also got some things from those bandits.

One day, Jiang Xinghuo had just woken up in the morning when he heard the notification sound of a text message coming from the game.

"The sun rises as usual, and the world welcomes another absurd yet beautiful day. You look at the majestic city in front of you and pause for a moment. You know that is your destination - Lingnan City."

"Lingnan City is adjacent to the South Seas, and the local customs and habits are quite different from the cities you have been to. The weather is hot, and it is midsummer all year round. Also, because it is close to the South China Sea, typhoons come every few days. However, Lingnan City is rich in products, and there are many kinds of delicious food. Many of these delicacies cannot be enjoyed in other places except Lingnan."

"You walked to the city gate and looked around. You found a dusty shrine. Next to it was a stall selling sweet soups. Various kinds of sweet soups exuded tempting colors. Would you like to go over and have a bowl to cool down?"

"You walked to the front of the dessert shop, ordered a bowl of iced dessert, and lit up the dusty shrine beside it."

"You have lit up the Fengdu Shrine in Lingnan City."

Seeing the prompt in this text, Jiang Xinghuo breathed a sigh of relief. The resurrection point has been opened, and he can explore without restraint. He doesn't have to worry even if he dies in the city.

"You sat on the stool and listened to the people next to you chatting, and got a general understanding of what happened recently in Lingnan City."

"The most exciting thing in the city recently is the battle between the Nanyang Luang Po monk and the sorcerer. It is said that a wealthy family in the city was bewitched by their enemy, so the rich family went to Nanyang to invite a Luang Po monk, who not only broke the sorcerer's spell, but also killed the sorcerer on the spot. As a result, the sorcerer's master's sect retaliated, and the whole street has now become a forbidden place for living people. Anyone who enters without permission will either be killed or injured."

"In addition, you also learned from other people's conversations that the King of Taiping issued a hunting order some time ago, and the target was none other than Longying Taibao, one of his Thirteen Taibao. It is said that Longying Taibao defected to other forces and planned to plot against the King of Taiping, but failed and fled."

"There was also a big incident at the Fuchun Teahouse. It was said that someone lit nine sky lanterns at the auction of the teahouse, and they were competing for the same thing. This had never happened since the teahouse was built, but later for some reason the matter was left unresolved. Both parties took a step back and agreed to bid again in the future..."
