My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 92: Lonely Garden

"The Gray Immortal Patriarch already knows your intentions."

"It also expressed high praise for your efficiency. Even it did not expect that you would complete the task it assigned to you and kill ten Yellow Immortal disciples in such a short time."

"And the whole thing was done flawlessly, because those ten Yellow Fairy disciples all died in various accidents."

"Ancestor Huang Xian knew that there was something fishy going on, but he had no way to track it down and had no idea where to start."

"You have gained the kindness of Gray Immortal Ancestor."

"The Gray Immortal Patriarch took out a few things and said that they were rewards for you. You can choose any two of them as your reward."

coming!

Jiang Xinghuo thought to himself that he had been busy for such a long time just for the reward from the Gray Immortal Ancestor, and he wondered what good things the Gray Immortal would give him.

"Grey Fairy Spirit House (precious item), the spirit house where Grey Fairy disciples live. If you integrate it into your body, you can become a Grey Fairy disciple. The Grey Fairy ancestor will let the most outstanding disciple in the clan communicate with you."

"Night Spirit Pill (Excellent Item), a pill made by Gray Immortal Ancestor himself. After taking it, not only will you have the ability to see at night, but all aspects of your body's attributes will also be enhanced in the dark."

"Sickness Pot (excellent item). Among all the immortals, the Gray Immortal likes cleanliness the most. This Sickness Pot was developed by them. It can absorb various viruses and bacteria, and can also release those viruses to fight the enemy."

"Skillful surgery (excellent skill), after learning it, it can increase the flexibility of fingers, enable many fine movements, and improve the control of limbs."

"Protective pottery figurine (rare item), a pottery figurine statue handed down from ancient times. It can summon a pottery figurine to resist external attacks. Within half an hour, no attack can break the pottery figurine. However, the disadvantage is that it cannot move and can only passively withstand attacks."

"Ice Jade Bed (Excellent Item), made of jade excavated from the underground of Greater Khingan Range in Kanto. Sleeping on it can quickly restore physical strength and has the effect of refining magic power."

"Iron ore (excellent item), a specialty of the Northwest Mining City. Its greatest feature is that it is hard and can withstand temperatures of 1000°C without melting. It can be used as a material for upgrading weapons and equipment."

Choose two from seven.

After seeing the rewards given by the Gray Immortal Ancestor, Jiang Xinghuo was secretly amazed, thinking that it was quite generous, worthy of being an ancestor-level figure. The rewards given were all of excellent level, and there were also two rare-level props.

However, Jiang Xinghuo had no interest in becoming a spirit-relief disciple. He picked and chose among the seven rewards and finally chose the protective pottery figurine and the Night Spirit Pill.

One of these two things can enhance his passive ability, and the other can actively help him resist the enemy. Both are most suitable for him at the moment.

Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the text and took the Yeling Pill first. The moment the text flashed by, he felt a chill rising from his dantian and quickly rushed to his eyebrows and eye sockets.

At that moment, Jiang Xinghuo felt that his vision seemed to have become much clearer, but he couldn't tell what the specific changes were.

Next, it’s the protective pottery figurine.

A palm-sized pottery figurine appeared in his hand. Jiang Xinghuo tried to activate the protective pottery figurine, and a half-body pottery figurine more than three meters tall and more than two meters wide appeared in the middle of the living room.

It looked like a small fortress. Jiang Xinghuo opened his magic bag, took out the Qiankun Stick, and hit the terracotta figurine hard.

Not only did it not cause any damage to the terracotta figurine, but it also made his arm numb.

Just as the text describes, it could not be destroyed by internal and external forces for half an hour, but people could only hide behind the terracotta warriors, and the terracotta warriors were on unilateral defense and could not resist attacks from the left, right and back.

But if used properly, terracotta figurines can become a powerful weapon.

"The Gray Fairy gathered up the remaining things and left the body of the shaman. Before leaving, he left a message saying that if you have any problems in the future, you can come here to find it." "You left the Gray Fairy Temple."

"You learned the location of the Lonely Garden from the shaman and headed straight to the west of Kanto Castle."

"You have arrived at the Lonely Garden."

"This is an institution established by the previous dynasty to adopt elderly and lonely people. The money needed is directly allocated by the City Lord's Mansion, and no private expenses are required. It is located next to the Salesian Home."

Jiang Xinghuo knew clearly that this Orphanage and Orphanage also existed in reality, they just had different names.

Nursing homes, orphanages.

The Orphanage is inhabited by elderly people, while the Orphanage is for young children who have no parents or relatives.

Jiang Xinghuo controlled the game character and walked into the Lonely Garden.

"You pushed open the door to the Lonely Garden."

"You see many elderly people lying in the yard basking in the sun. Although their chests are still rising and falling, they give you the feeling that they are zombies. Their eyes are cloudy and empty, without any emotional fluctuations, just like puppets on the stage."

"You find that map in your trick bag."

"According to the records on the map, I quietly came to the backyard of the Lonely Garden."

"This used to be a back garden, but now it's overgrown with weeds, with only one big tree still tenaciously alive."

"You explored the surroundings carefully, but found nothing except a few inconspicuous weeds."

"Grave Grass (Ordinary Item), the wild grass growing on graves, has the ability to heal bones and tendons, and is most popular among barefoot doctors and quacks."

When Jiang Xinghuo saw this line of text, he didn't take it seriously at first, but he soon reacted.

Shouldn't grave grass grow on the grave?

How did it appear in the abandoned garden?
Jiang Xinghuo had a vague guess in his mind, and new content appeared in the game text at this time.

"You looked at the grass on the grave in your hand, and as if you had thought of something, you immediately pushed away the covering soil on the ground, and a shriveled and old corpse came into view."

"You carefully examined the corpses and found that they had been parasitized by a large number of plant roots. The blood, flesh and marrow in the bodies had all become nutrients for the plants."

"You dug along the roots and found more than a dozen bodies. All of them had been sucked dry of blood, flesh and marrow by the plant roots."

“And the source of all the roots is that lush tree.”

"At this moment, you find that the big tree seems to come alive, and its rough trunk is beating slowly and rhythmically like a heart."

"You have discovered the man-eating tree."

"Man-eating tree (excellent), a monster born with a different species. Although it has life, it cannot move. It can only take root in the ground and survive by absorbing the blood and flesh of various creatures. The more blood and flesh it absorbs, the stronger it becomes. It can even transfer its accumulated vitality to other creatures."
