My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 836 The Use of Robbery Ashes

The evil ghost in the security room threw the incense in his hand to the ground. This action really surprised Jiang Xinghuo. The evil spirits he had met before, or other worldly ghosts and gods who were greedy for money, would not throw away the incense in their hands even if they thought the amount was too little. They would just give more.

But today he met a man with a bad temper. With the idea of ​​giving it a try, Jiang Xinghuo took out another 200 incense sticks and controlled the character to put them on that palm.

But the result remained unchanged, the game text that popped up still threw the incense to the ground.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Would you choose to burn down the security room and kill the ghost inside? Or would you choose to try to give it something else? Maybe incense is not what it wants?"

The game gives two optional answers: either burn down the security room or continue to take out other things to give to the other party.

Jiang Xinghuo pondered it and thought, don't bother with that. If he could burn the other party to death, everyone would be happy, and he wouldn't have to beg for money to bribe. Of course, if he couldn't burn the other party to death, he would be the one who would be unlucky in the end, as this evil ghost would definitely kill him without hesitation.

"You choose not to tolerate it anymore, and you directly step forward and grab the shriveled hand covered with corpse spots. The black flame quickly spreads, along the palm of the evil spirit, and moves towards the dark security room."

"Your Kitchen God Fire has now transformed into a new flame. Not only is it more powerful than the previous Kitchen God Fire, it has also absorbed the power of the Red Lotus Karma Fire, the Netherworld Ghost Fire, the Burning Fire, and the Flame from Beyond. No matter what kind of target you encounter, your Kitchen God Fire can more or less play a role."

"However, you discovered that your stove fire did not seem to have any harm to the evil spirit in front of you. Not to mention burning it to ashes, even the dilapidated security room was not damaged at all. It was as if an invisible force swallowed up all the flames and turned them into nothing."

"And your actions also angered the creature hiding in the security room. You felt a chilly wind blowing on your face, and then your body went cold. A dry, cold hand had already touched your shoulder, and the vitality in your body was instantly drained away. Your body fell to the ground without causing any ripples."

"You are dead."

"You were once again killed by that unknown creature that looked like a ghost. You didn't even have a chance to resist and escape."

"Are you going to use a scapegoat?"

Jiang Xinghuo sighed. Damn it! He died twice before even entering the door. If he went inside, he would probably die countless times.

"You activated it, straw man."

"You have used this item once again to avoid certain death, but you may be able to avoid it once, but not twice. If you cannot satisfy the creatures in the security room, you may not be able to enter at all. What are you going to do next?"

"Will you leave this abandoned medical school? Or will you go around and climb over the wall to get in?"

When Jiang Xinghuo saw the content of the text, he thought that there was finally an interactive method for circumventing the firewall. If I can't get in through the main door, then I can only go through the side door. You can't stop me from circumventing the firewall, can you?
But the facts proved that he was too naive, or in other words, everything that happens in the world cannot be inferred or judged by common sense.

Especially since the other party might be a creature that survived from the strange supernatural era.

"You no longer insisted on entering the medical school through the main gate, but chose to go around to the back, intending to climb over the wall to enter the medical school. But just as you were about to act, your eyes blurred, and the security room that was originally located next to the main gate unexpectedly appeared where you were planning to climb over the wall. It appeared very abruptly, but it seemed unusually harmonious, as if there had always been a security room here. The shriveled hand covered with corpse spots was still in that position. If you don't take out something that satisfies it, you can forget about entering this medical school."

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo controlled the character to change several places, but the text information obtained was no different. No matter where the game character chose, as long as he wanted to enter the medical school, the security room would appear there.

In desperation, Jiang Xinghuo could only control the character to return to the main gate again. Now he had only two choices, either give up exploring the medical school map, or find a way to find something that would satisfy that guy.

Incense is considered the currency in the secular world. No matter what race the creatures are, they all have a great demand for this thing. But no one would have expected that it would be useless today.

Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a while. Since incense didn't work, he decided to try something else. According to Ling Chi, the other party might be a ghost that survived the supernatural era. Would paper money have any effect on it?
Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo immediately took out a dozen paper money from his backpack.

"Do you want to hand in the paper money in your hand?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes.

"You put the paper money on the palm, but there was still no change. A black flame suddenly jumped up and burned the paper money to ashes in an instant. But you did gain something, because you sensed a familiar breath on the black flame. It was the power of the law of the end, the destructive power brought by the end of all things."

After seeing the description of this game text, Jiang Xinghuo suddenly thought of something on his body.

Robbery ash!!
That is the product of the burning of the Law of the End.

When he was contaminated by the Law of the End in the Forbidden City, most of the props in his magic bag were burned to ashes. Those ashes were called disaster ashes.

But he didn't know what the robbery ashes were used for, so he just kept it in the magic bag. Later, when he changed to the void drawer, he didn't throw it away. It didn't take up much space anyway, so what if it could be used in the future?

Could it be that what the creature in the security room needs is the robbing ash? ?
Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo decided to give it a try. He wouldn't lose anything anyway. The worst result would be being killed by it, which was no big deal.

"Do you want to submit the ashes?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes, controlled the character to hand over the things, and then waited quietly for subsequent developments.

"You put a portion of the calamity ash on that dry, skinny palm, and immediately a miracle happened before your eyes. You saw that the dry, skinny palm became full and plump at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the calamity ash in the palm was completely absorbed by it. Although the skin was still a lifeless gray, it was much better than before. If it was a dried corpse before, it was now a fresh corpse that had just died."

"At this moment, the arm suddenly stretched back into the security room. A moment later, the sound of a door opening was heard, and a pair of deathly gray arms quietly emerged from the darkness and opened the closed door of the medical school. However, you can only see these arms, but you cannot clearly see the torso behind the arms. What are you going to do next?"

“Do you want to explore inside the medical school?”

Jiang Xinghuo took a deep breath and thought that he had finally opened the door. The next step was to explore it in detail.

But before that, you have to find a resurrection point first, so that you don’t die there and have to run the map again, which would be a waste of time.

Jiang Xinghuo opened the panel of the void drawer and was about to arrange a lost shrine to make a one-time resurrection point, but unexpectedly the game text suddenly changed.

"You noticed that the lights in the security room suddenly went out, followed by the sound of something heavy being moved. Soon, a small temple similar in size to a land temple in a field, but much more exquisite, appeared in your sight."

"You have discovered the Tiangong Temple." "The Tiangong Temple (a rare item) is a product forged by Master Tiangong in imitation of the Fengdu Shrine's craftsmanship. It has the same function as the Fengdu Shrine. After the Exile is bound by blood, it can be used as an anchor point for resurrection. As long as the Tiangong Temple is not destroyed, the Exile can be resurrected in it without limit."

Ok?
After seeing the description of this prop, Jiang Xinghuo was stunned for a moment. He didn’t know what was going on. Could it be that this was something given to him by the evil ghost?
Tiangong Temple.

Judging from the description in the game text, it is an alternative Fengdu shrine, which is exactly what he urgently needs at the moment.

He was originally worried that there would be no resurrection point, and he would have to run the map again after his death, because the medical school was definitely built after Fengdu conquered the underworld. At that time, Fengdu had already been trapped in purgatory, and it was impossible to build a shrine near the medical school.

That's why he wanted to use the disposable Lost Shrine to set up a resurrection point. Unexpectedly, just when he was about to take a nap, a pillow was delivered to his door.

This thing is a bit weird.

The evil spirit in the security room had no reason to give himself such a good thing.

Is there anything else you want?
With the idea of ​​giving it a try, Jiang Xinghuo controlled the character to walk over and intend to put away the Tiangong Temple. As a result, the game text changed immediately.

"You wanted to take over the Tiangong Temple for yourself, but you didn't expect a shriveled, skinny hand covered with corpse spots to suddenly appear from the darkness and place it on top of the Tiangong Temple, with the palm facing up, in front of you, as if it wanted to ask for something. But you noticed that this hand was different from the previous one. That one was a right hand, while this one was a left hand."

As soon as Jiang Xinghuo saw the description in the text, he immediately understood what the other party meant. He wanted to use the Tiangong Temple and exchange it for a piece of ash from him to restore his hand to that appearance.

So the question is... should I change it or not?

If he were to exchange, the benefits are self-evident. First of all, the Tiangong Temple would be his. Secondly, he might be able to use the ashes to reach a new deal with the other party.

But therein lies the problem. This fellow's power is obviously superior to his own. If he chooses to exchange the ashes for the Tiangong Temple, once the other party notices that he has a large amount of ashes on him, there is no guarantee that he will not directly rob him.

Of course, it is also possible to exchange through fair trade.

As for what will happen, we will have to wait and see how it develops.

If you choose not to exchange it, then these concerns may disappear, but the other party of Tiangong Temple will most likely not give it to you, which is equivalent to missing out on this prop, and there is also a possibility that the other party may trade with you.

Jiang Xinghuo thought carefully for a while, and finally decided to die or exchange. He could do it while alive, and it would be nothing if he died. It would be useless to keep the ashes on him. If he could exchange them for something useful, that would be the best.

However, we cannot throw away all the ashes. It is better to let them out slowly and gradually than to throw them out all at once.

"You took out another portion of the ashes and placed it on the open left hand. The same miracle happened before your eyes again. The left hand also regained its full flesh and blood state."

"At the same time, the hand on the Tiangong Temple also retracted, allowing you to take the Tiangong Temple away and take it for yourself."

"You have obtained the Tiangong Temple."

"Do you want to drip blood on it to bind yourself?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation.

"You dripped blood on the Tiangong Temple."

"Binding, please wait..."

"You have successfully bound to the Tiangong Temple."

"Once you bind to the Tiangong Temple, this temple will be integrated into your body. Every time you die, you can be resurrected in this temple without any hindrance."

"Note that the method of using the Tiangong Temple is exactly the same as that of the Fengdu Shrine. If you don't have the props and materials to shorten the cooldown time, you still need to walk back from the underworld, which takes about eight hours."

Jiang Xinghuo understood.

The Tiangong Temple is actually equivalent to a portable Fengdu shrine. You don’t have to go through the trouble to find it yourself. However, if you want to be resurrected immediately after death, you still have to use props such as dog food or grave cakes.

But this is already very good. For him who has the recipes for dog food and grave cakes, having the Tiangong Temple is equivalent to having an unlimited number of scapegoats.

If you want, you can die thousands of times a day. No matter how difficult the map is, you can get through it by dying countless times.

Now that we have the Tiangong Temple, we don't have to worry about other things anymore. Jiang Xinghuo directly controlled the character to enter the medical school and started a detailed investigation.

"You have come to the square in front of the medical school. There are three forked roads, leading to the dormitory building, the teaching building, and the laboratory building. Which one do you plan to explore first?"

There are three options: teaching building, laboratory building, and dormitory building.

Jiang Xinghuo did not rush to make a choice, but first found the map given to him by his father-in-law at the head of the bed.

"You activated the map of the bedside father-in-law."

"According to the markings on the map, the bedside grandmother's original statue was hidden by him in the apricot garden behind the dormitory building. You can find the original statue buried in the soil by following the map. Do you want to go and look for it immediately?"

"You chose to go to the apricot garden."

"You chose the fork in the road on the left that leads to the dormitory building. Your figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, and you headed towards the desolate and deserted apricot garden."
