My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 871: Re-entering the Ancient Town
Looking at the golden flame in his palm, Jiang Xinghuo didn't feel anything obviously magical, but since the game text said so, there shouldn't be anything wrong.

However, in order to verify the power of Nanming Lihuo.

Jiang Xinghuo released the Lingchi ghost from the acupoints in his body and set the Nanming Lihuo burning in front of him.

Since the Nanming Lihuo can burn souls as nourishment, it should be a natural restraint for ghosts and monsters.

as predicted.

When Ling Chi Gui saw the golden flames in front of him, his expression changed, and he said in a serious tone with a hint of fear:
"My Lord, this flame should be the legendary Nanming Lihuo. In our era, Nanming Lihuo is one of the few forces that can directly cause damage to us and can make ghosts disappear completely."

"But in our era, there was only one person who mastered the Southern Ming Lihuo. People called him the Fire Star Lord. Whether in terms of power or status, he was at the top of the pyramid of that era."

“However, when the last era was destroyed, this person also perished along with it. I didn’t expect that the Southern Ming Lihuo would survive to this day.”

Hearing Ling Chi Gui's words, Jiang Xinghuo's heart was slightly shaken, and he asked, "Is it possible that this Fire Deity is still alive?"

"This one……"

Ling Chi Gui showed a hint of hesitation on his face and shook his head:

“I cannot guarantee this, but with the power of Fire Lord, if there is really a backup plan that can allow him to escape the catastrophe of the destruction of the era, it is not impossible. Perhaps the fire of the Southern Ming Fire was passed down by Fire Lord.”

Jiang Xinghuo nodded, thinking about it, and said with a smile: "You've worked hard, go back and rest."

As he spoke, a ray of light flashed through the acupoint, and the Ling Chi ghost disappeared again.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo dispersed the Nanming Lihuo on his body, sat on the sofa and began to think.

If the Fire Star Lord mentioned by Ling Chi Ghost is not dead and is still alive today, then where is he hiding? ?
Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but think of the black-robed man he met in the Zhenwu Cave Heaven. The other party was obviously also a master who controlled the power of fire. Could he be the Fire Star Lord mentioned by Ling Chi Gui?

After all, no one stipulated that the Lord of Fire could only master one kind of fire. Since he dared to use the name of the God of Fire as his title, his attainments in fire must be extraordinary.

But these are just his guesses. Before finding enough evidence, nothing can be said for sure. He can only wait for an opportunity in the future.

Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the screen to continue advancing the new plot.

"Now that you have obtained the fire of Nanming Lihuo, what are you going to do with Lingguang God's body next?"

"Will you choose to bury it here as it is? Or will you choose to bury it in your own volcanic hell?"

"If you choose to bury it here, then after a long time, this place may become a scorched earth. Except for those who possess the Nanming Lihuo, any other living creatures who approach here will be burned to ashes."

"But if you bury it in the volcanic hell, the remaining power in Lingguang God's body may have an unknown impact on the volcanic hell. However, this impact may be positive or negative. It all depends on luck."

"So how are you going to choose?"

"Will you abandon Lingguang God's body? Or will you bury it in the volcanic hell?"

When Jiang Xinghuo saw the description in the text, he did not hesitate for too long and directly chose the latter.

Even if the corpse of Lingguang God really has a negative impact on the Volcanic Hell, that is a matter for the future. Anyway, there is still a 50% chance that it can cause positive changes to the Volcanic Hell.

To take a step back, even if the corpse of Lingguang God really had an impact on the volcanic hell, he still had the burial law and the golden law to back him up, which could minimize the impact or even eliminate it.

Therefore, it is not a wise choice to give up the current benefits because of possible problems in the future.

Of course, the premise is that it will not affect your life and property, otherwise you have to give up what you should give up.

Your own life always comes first, this is absolutely beyond doubt.

"You chose to bury Lingguang God's body in the volcanic hell."

"You opened up the volcanic hell, lifted up the coffin of Lingguang God, and drove into the desolate and silent hell. The monsters and demons lurking here sensed your presence and kowtowed in your direction one after another."

"You came to a towering mountain, activated the authority of the King of the Underworld, and buried the coffin in the ground below the mountain."

"You can clearly feel a force moving along the nodes and veins underground. Although the speed is very slow, given enough time, it can spread to the entire volcanic hell. Only then will we know whether burying Lingguang God's body here is a good thing or a bad thing."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the text and controlled the character to leave the volcanic hell. Since it would take time for the consequences to manifest, there was no need to rush. He should continue to advance the text and trigger the subsequent plot tasks.

However, in order to avoid missing unexpected plots such as the Lingguang God's Tomb, Jiang Xinghuo did not leave this old secular relic for the next two days. He lit a few sticks of Hongyun incense every day to see if he could trigger new plots.

The result did not disappoint him too much, as he still gained something. Two days later, when there was really no new plot to be triggered, Jiang Xinghuo controlled the character to leave the old secular ruins where Yang Town was located.

"You stood at the intersection and lit the hearse ticket in your hand. Soon after, thick fog spread around, and a rusty hearse drove quietly from a distance and opened the door in front of you."

"When you stepped onto the hearse, the evil spirits in the car looked at you with different eyes. Some were jealous, some were curious, and some were resentful."

"The hearse is moving again. Please choose the destination you want to go to."

A dialog box popped up on the game screen. Jiang Xinghuo entered a few words with ease and determined where he would go next.

Taiping Ancient Town.

"You chose to go to Taiping Ancient Town."

"Driving, please wait..."

Jiang Xinghuo had three things to do when he entered Taiping Ancient Town this time. The first was to go to the ancestral hall to find the old man and see if he could find out from him how to deal with the Buddha of Bliss in the Prison of All Things.

The second thing was to stroll around the end of Taiping Ancient Town. He remembered that the reason why Taoist Qi Can boarded the hearse was to find monsters with star attributes to cure his children. There was a meteorite god wandering in Taiping Ancient Town.

The third one is the Three-Life Ghost Temple in the back mountain. He can gain something every time he enters the Three-Life Ghost Temple. This time he also wants to go in and take a walk, but he doesn’t know if he can see the Three-Life Ghost Temple. He can only wait and see. These three goals are the main things he will do next.

Jiang Xinghuo waited for about an hour.

New prompt information came from the game text.

"You have arrived at Taiping Ancient Town."

"Please prepare your ticket and wait for the alighting."

"You arrived at the door of the carriage, and the ticket in your hand immediately burned to ashes. The door of the carriage was immediately opened to you. But just as you were about to get off the train, Taoist Qi Can suddenly threw something to you."

"Take it and take a look. It's a crude map. The place marked on it is exactly where the meteorite god is."

"You gave the flesh and blood of the Year-Chasing Guest to Taoist Qi Can, so there is no need for it to go to Taiping Ancient Town to look for the Meteorite God. I might as well do you a favor and give you the map. It can be considered a good relationship."

"You have obtained the map where the Meteorite God is hiding."

"You got off the hearse and walked along the road. You soon saw Taiping Ancient Town. The desolate ancient town was as desolate as ever, without any human presence. Where do you plan to go next?"

"Will you go to the ancestral hall to look for the old man first? Or will you go to look for the meteorite god first? Or will you go to the back mountain to look for the Three Generations Ghost Temple? Or will you just wander around the town?"

The game gave four options, and Jiang Xinghuo directly chose to go to the ancestral hall first. Things have their priorities, and doing the right thing first is the most important thing.

"You chose to go to the ancestral hall."

"On the way, please wait..."

"You have arrived at the ancestral hall of Taiping Ancient Town."

"There was nothing in the silent ancestral hall, as if it had been abandoned for hundreds or thousands of years. But the moment you stepped in, you could hear the sound of knocking on wood, and then a dim light came on, and the skinny old man appeared in front of you."

"The old man looked at you and said with emotion, I didn't expect that you would have such a high level of cultivation after just a few days of not seeing you. I guess a lot of time has passed in the outside world."

Jiang Xinghuo had long known that time was chaotic in this ancient town. It had been almost a year since he last left, but to the old man it was only a few days.

"You walked up to the old man and told him a brief account of your experience, and at the end you focused on the Blissful Buddha in the prison of all things."

"The old man did not deny his identity, but frankly admitted that he was the Karma Fire Lord, and the enemy he was hiding in the ancestral hall to deal with was the Blissful Buddha in the prison of all things."

"It is said that the Blissful Buddha has already entered the Prison of All Things, so it seems unnecessary for him to attack the Blissful Buddha again."

"But the Blissful Buddha's Dharma is extremely strange. As long as his descendants exist in the world, they will have a chance to escape the prison of all things. Rather than waiting for him to escape and then stir up trouble, it is better to kill him now."

"The old man told me why he wanted to deal with the Blissful Buddha. When he heard that the Blissful Buddha used a worn-out oil-paper umbrella to block the attack of the Red Lotus Karma Fire, he immediately understood why he had not been able to trace back all of the Blissful Buddha's descendants for so many years."

"It was because he made that oil-paper umbrella himself. It was originally for his little daughter to protect herself. Later, his little daughter was deceived by the Buddha of Bliss and died tragically under his method of collecting energy. The umbrella also became the property of the Buddha of Bliss."

"It is precisely because of this that this oil-paper umbrella can resist the invasion of the Red Lotus Karma Fire. The method to deal with it is also very simple. Just use the object collection method to collect it. Then he can find all the descendants of the Blissful Buddha and bury them completely with the Red Lotus Karma Fire!"

Jiang Xinghuo finally understood what was going on. It turned out that there was such a grudge between the two of them. No wonder Lord Karma Fire had not given up on killing Lord Bliss Buddha for so many years.

The murder of my daughter must be avenged!
"You have obtained the method of collecting things."

"Yehuo Tianjun has told you the secret of the Collecting Method. This method can not only collect oil-paper umbrellas, but also has an effect on the magic weapons used by others. As long as your cultivation level is not much higher than yours, you will not be able to resist the power of the Collecting Method."

Jiang Xinghuo learned the method of collecting things, which is actually just a mantra combined with a few hand seals. It is not a difficult spell.

But the effect of this spell is too good. Just imagine, someone is attacking you with a magic weapon, but you use a spell to collect the item and directly get the treasure into your hands. Then what's the point of fighting?

"You have obtained the method of collecting things given by the old man. As long as you enter the prison of all things again, you can take the oil-paper umbrella from the hand of the Bliss Buddha. Then he will naturally find all the descendants related to the Bliss Buddha according to the characteristics of the red lotus fire."

"If he kills the Blissful Buddha then, his mission will be accomplished, and he will leave something for you as a reward. But now he has to deplete the Blissful Buddha's power as much as possible, and wait until the critical moment to decide the outcome of the battle!"

"After saying this, the old man disappeared into the ancestral hall again, but two sticks of Eight Treasures Ruyi Incense were left on the ground. This is the key to entering the Three Worlds Ghost Temple. The old man may also know where you want to go, so he left these things for you."

"You have obtained the Eight Treasures Ruyi Incense."

"When you light these two incense sticks, you can follow the scent of the incense sticks to the Three Ghost Temple."

"Where are you going next?"

"Will you choose to go to the Three Ghost Temple immediately? Or will you choose to look for the meteorite god? Or will you leave Taiping Ancient Town and look for the bad luck of the Buddha of Bliss?"

Of the three options, Jiang Xinghuo chose the second one.

The Buddha of Bliss is not in a hurry. His life is already written in the Book of Life and Death. Only the last stroke can take his life away. It is just a matter of dying sooner or later.

It’s not too late to go after we leave here, so let him jump around for a few days first.

He is now very curious about the story of the Meteorite God and wants to explore it to see if there is anything new to discover.

"You chose to look for the Meteorite God."

"You followed the map given to you by Taoist Qi Can and started looking for it in Taiping Ancient Town. You headed straight for the wilderness west of Taiping Ancient Town. The road under your feet gradually changed from bluestone to loess, and then the loess road became muddy again."

"But at the end, you feel something moving on the muddy path under your feet..."
