My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 83 Grand Temple

"Curiosity drove you to the well. You looked down and saw that the well was full of corpses. You immediately understood the secret of the water supply shop and wanted to turn around and leave, but you were bumped into by the shopkeeper who suddenly returned."

"You were pushed into the well by the shopkeeper and his assistants. Countless cold, swollen arms grabbed your body and dragged you to the dark bottom of the well."

"You were drowned in the well..."

"You are dead."

Jiang Xinghuo opened his magic bag, found the elixir gourd, took a big gulp, and continued playing the game.

"You used the elixir gourd."

"Medicine Gourd (0/3)."

"Your elixir gourd has been automatically destroyed."

"You woke up next to the shrine in Guandong City. Looking at the people coming and going at the city gate, are you going to continue into the city? Or take a detour and go to another city?"

New map, new rewards.

Jiang Xinghuo had already tasted the sweetness, so how could he give up the large map of Guandong City? He made his choice directly.

"You have entered Kanto Castle again."

"You walked along the busy streets, listening to the gossip of the people around you, and arrived at the great temple in the north of Guandong City."

"In the old days when the old dynasty ruled, the Great Temple was a place for offering sacrifices to the heavens. It was only opened at the turn of the old year."

"But since the night of dawn, the Forbidden City has fallen into disorder, the corrupt old order has been shattered, and the Great Temple has lost its former glory and has become a tourist attraction in Guandong City."

"It happened to be close to the Dragon Boat Festival, and the temple was extremely lively. Craftsmen from all over the country came here to participate in the temple fair."

"You have come to the Great Temple."

"You walked around a few times and finally found a shrine behind the big temple."

"You have lit up the shrine of the great temple."

After seeing this line of game text, Jiang Xinghuo controlled the game character and began to explore the area near the Great Temple.

This way, even if something goes wrong, you don't have to run to a new map, you can wake up directly next to the shrine in the great temple.

"You have come to the East Square of the Great Temple."

"Here is a juggler performing for money. Many torches are flying in his hands, just like shooting stars chasing the moon, which is a feast for the eyes."

"But people make mistakes and horses stumble. He was unlucky today. Perhaps it was because there were too many spectators. The juggler was a little uneasy and his eyes blurred. His hands slowed down and he missed a torch and it flew out."

"You happened to be standing too far forward, and the torch hit you hard on the head. Fortunately, your physical fitness has been improved, and you have also been blessed by the stove fire, so the torch hitting your head did not cause you any harm."

"But even so, you still feel dizzy and unsteady on your feet."

Jiang Xinghuo thought to himself that your craftsmanship is too shabby. If it were someone else, they would have been smashed to death on the spot.

At this time, the game text also changed.

"When the juggler saw that his torch had injured someone, he quickly put down the other things in his hands and came to you to apologize with a guilty look on his face." "It's all because he didn't learn the skills well enough and didn't practice the tricks well enough, so he accidentally injured the patron who came to support him. He wants to give you something as compensation."

"Are you willing to accept the juggler's compensation and forgive his unintentional mistake?"

"Of course, if you don't forgive it, you can also pull out the Qiankun Stick and hit it hard on the head."

"Maybe everything on it will be yours, but there's also a chance that you'll get nothing. It all depends on your own wishes."

Is there compensation?
Then everything is easy!
Jiang Xinghuo happily chose to accept the compensation. He wanted to see what good things the juggler had.

As for beating the juggler to death and touching his corpse, Jiang Xinghuo had never thought about it. It was not because he was morally obsessed, but based on his past experience, he knew that if he beat the juggler to death, he would definitely get nothing.

All the props and items on the juggler will probably be directly recycled by the game, which will not only be a waste of time, but also easily cause other troubles.

"You forgave the juggler's unintentional mistake and comforted him that it was not a big deal. The juggler felt very grateful and guilty, so he took out a few things from his magic bag and gave them to you."

"You have earned it, Fire Worshiper."

"Fire Worshiper (Ordinary Item), the Colorful Gate Magic from the Eight Great Sects of Jianghu. By integrating it with one's own blood, one can gain the power to manipulate fire. The Colorful Gate Magician swallows flames and spits fire on the streets with this item. Duration: 10 minutes, cooldown: 30 minutes."

Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the text and took the [Fire Worshiper] prop into reality. It looked like a palm-sized wooden sculpture with flames flowing inside.

"You have obtained the Three Immortals Returning to the Cave."

"Three Immortals Returning to the Cave (Excellent Magic), the unique skill of the Caimen Magician. It can create a small space in the body and hide items inside. This is a magic developed by the leader of the Caimen, and is used to deal with those experts."

Jiang Xinghuo laughed when he saw it. This was a classic technique in ancient magic and also the most basic entry-level skill.

But there are not many people who can play it well. Even in the real world, there are only a few masters who can't make people see any flaws at close range. They can be counted on one hand.

"You have learned how to return to the cave."

Jiang Xinghuo picked up the teacup next to him, flipped his wrist, and the teacup disappeared. He flipped it again and the teacup appeared in his hand again.

The principle of this technique is similar to that of the magic bag, which is to create a space to store items.

The only difference is that one is within one's own body, while the other is through the medium of external objects.

"You have obtained the evil-repelling pill."

"Evil-repelling pills (common consumable item). Magicians travel far and wide to make a living, and it is common for them to sleep outdoors. In order to avoid being disturbed by poisonous creatures in the wild, they asked someone to develop evil-repelling pills."

"This pill is not for internal use, but is placed in a sachet and worn on the body. The medicinal fragrance it emits has the magical effect of driving away poisonous insects, rats and ants. After each pill is crushed into a wax ball, the medicinal properties can last for half a month."

Jiang Xinghuo took a look and found that the juggler gave him three things in total, all of which were very good props and skills.

"The juggler apologizes to you again, hoping that you can forgive his mistake, and tells you a piece of news as compensation."

"On its way to Guandong Castle, it lost its way in the mountains and forests and accidentally discovered a deserted Taoist temple. Judging from the style and the talismans and prayer flags outside, it seems that a descendant of the Tianshi Dao must have lived here."

“Although I don’t know why it is abandoned now, there may be some relics left. If you are interested, you can go and take a look.”

"You have obtained the location map of the Tianshi Taoist Temple."
