My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 94 Cabin in the Woods
"You woke up next to a shrine in the Great Temple."

"You have come to the outside of the Lonely Garden. The City Lord's Mansion has put it under martial law. The Salesian's House next to it is also guarded by armored soldiers."

“You can’t go in and explore.”

"So where are you going to go next?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the map. The map of Guandong City was much larger than that of Longcheng, and there were many options.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Xinghuo decided not to go anywhere and just wander around the city.

See if you can trigger some unexpected tasks.

"You were walking on the streets of Kanto Castle, taking in the local customs and people, when you suddenly saw a dead body on the side of the street."

"Do you want to go up and take a closer look?"

Jiang Xinghuo did not refuse and chose to go forward to check.

"You came near the body."

"You examined it carefully and found that the body looked familiar, but the face was covered with sores and pus, so it was difficult to identify it."

"After a moment, you finally remembered the other person's identity."

"This corpse is the scavenger you have met several times."

"He walks the streets of major cities, making a living by selling the goods he has. Although he once wanted to deceive you, he has already paid the price."

"You took its body to a quiet and deserted place."

"You took out the Sanqing Bell."

"The ability to call back the dead has been activated."

"Soon after, a gust of cold wind blew in the alley, and you summoned the ghost of the scavenger back with the Sanqing Bell."

"You've discovered the ghost of the scavenger."

"When the scavenger saw his own body, his eyes were filled with confusion. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He saw you standing next to his body and mistakenly thought that you had killed him, so he rushed towards you in anger."

"The ghost of the scavenger has attacked you."

"You repelled the ghost of the scavenger."

"The ghost of the scavenger kneels down and begs for mercy."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the screen speechlessly, thinking to himself, you are a ghost after all, how can you be so frustrated?
"You lit a corpse oil candle, and smelling the fragrance of the corpse oil candle, the scavenger's eyes gradually became clear."

"The scavenger recognized your identity."

"You were very curious about why the scavenger died on the street, so you asked the question in your mind."

"After hearing this question, the scavenger's eyes became confused again, and he himself didn't know how he died."

"It only remembered that it found a small house in the suburbs and wanted to explore it to see if there was anything good, but it was trapped outside by the locked door."

"Then it felt a little sleepy and wanted to go back to the city to find a place to rest. It ended up falling asleep on the street and didn't know what happened next."

"You got the address of the hut from the scavenger."

"The scavenger is looking at his own body and wants you to burn it so that it won't be left exposed on the street and become food for stray dogs." "However, he is penniless now and has nothing to offer as a reward. Are you willing to help the scavenger?"

"You accepted the scavenger's request."

"You took out the Qiankun Stick. A flash of fire appeared, and the body of the scavenger was entangled in the flames and soon turned into ashes."

"You have completed the last request of the scavenger."

"You were given a map of the mountain cabin."

"It turns out that the address that the scavenger gave you at the beginning was wrong. Although there is a small house there, it is the residence of a Nanyang Gu Master. There are countless Gu insects and poisons hidden in it. Anyone who enters without permission will be killed."

Seeing this line of text, Jiang Xinghuo was stunned at first, then shook his head. There really was no one in that world who was easy to deal with. Even after death, they did not forget to dig a hole for him.

If I hadn't helped to cremate the other person's body, I would probably have had to take another four hours of rest.

"The scavenger's soul returned to the underworld."

"You followed the map that the scavenger gave you and came to the outskirts of the city. After walking for about an incense stick of time, a fork in the road appeared in front of you."

"The road on the left leads to the Gu Master's residence. There are many Gu insects ambushed along the way. If you are not careful, you will be attacked."

"The road on the right leads to the real forest cabin. Which road do you plan to take?"

Two roads, two options.

Jiang Xinghuo will definitely go.

But the cooling time of the scapegoat has not yet expired. If I choose the left path, I might get ambushed by the Gu Master and have to wait for a few more hours.

"You chose the right path."

"You keep walking along this path, which gradually becomes narrower and the sky gradually darkens. Just when you are about to be completely swallowed by the darkness, you finally see a small wooden house in the forest at the end of the path, and the path under your feet changes from wasteland to gravel."

"You walked along the gravel road and came to the front of the cottage. You saw all kinds of unknown medicinal herbs and flowers planted around it."

"This should have been the residence of a pharmacist, but now it is abandoned. The doors and windows are full of traces of erosion by wind and rain, and even the door lock has become fragile."

"With just a little force, you broke the door lock."

"You pushed open the door and walked into the medicine room, only to find that the room was empty and lifeless. The floor and the tables were covered with a thick layer of dust. Even the beams above were eaten away by insects and ants. They were shaky and seemed like they would collapse at any time."

"You took a quick look and found nothing valuable in the house. All signs indicate that no one has lived here for a long time, at least hundreds of years. Otherwise, it wouldn't be in such a state of disrepair."

"You came to the bookshelf and picked up a book. It was covered with mold and stains, and you couldn't see the contents at all."

"The Fragment of Herbs (Ordinary), a medical book written by the King of Medicine. However, due to the erosion of time, the contents have long been unknown to outsiders."

"You carefully explored the medicine room again, and finally found a few intact bottles of medicine in the corner."

"Hundred Herb Pill (common consumable item), a medicine that can suppress all kinds of poisons. No matter what kind of poison you are poisoned with, even if it is a deadly poison that kills instantly, as long as you take this pill, it can suppress the poison for two hours."

"Qingshen Pill (Ordinary Consumable Item) can remove the foul air in the body and emit a fresh scent. However, you cannot eat meat after taking this medicine, otherwise the effect of the medicine will be immediately lost."

"Calming Pill (common consumable item), a medicine that can help stabilize the mind and prevent going astray during cultivation."

"Hundred Poison Pills (Excellent Consumable Item), a highly toxic drug sealed by white wax clothing. After melting at high temperatures, it can produce hundreds of highly toxic substances."
