My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 96 Tianshi Temple

Jiang Xinghuo's mind moved.

There was a sound of sharp wind coming from behind him, and a strange-shaped dragon-shaped bone sword flew out from behind him, spinning in the air according to his will.

Although there were many things displayed in the house, the bone sword seemed to have a spirit, moving through every corner and crevice.

Finally, it suddenly flew back behind Jiang Xinghuo, turned into a phantom, and merged into his spine.

In this way, this sword bone can protect the vital parts of his spine, and he can also use his own magic power to nourish the sword bone of his spine.

They enhance and grow each other, and can be said to complement each other.

After putting away these props.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the pharmacist's suicide note, thinking that everything was recorded in it.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but people in this world seem to like leaving suicide notes before they die, telling future generations about their experiences.

"You found the suicide note left by the pharmacist."

"Do you want to read this suicide note?"

Jiang Xinghuo had no reason to refuse, so he directly clicked on the text and opened the suicide note.

"You read the pharmacist's suicide note and found some clues. The pharmacist said in the suicide note that he had studied under the Medicine King and mastered many medicine-making techniques."

"In order to improve his medicine refining skills, he decided to travel and visit masters living in seclusion in various places to gain experience and improve his shortcomings."

"His medicine-making skills also improved rapidly. Later, he heard that the medicine-making techniques in the West were completely different from those inherited from the Middle-earth, so he went to the West alone."

"After he came to the West, he competed with the local potion masters. Both sides won and lost, and he also saw a lot of different things."

"During this journey, he met the eldest daughter of a potion family, and they quickly fell in love."

"Unfortunately, this young lady already had an engagement. Her fiancé is the young master of an alchemy family. After the other party learned about this, they started hunting down the pharmacist."

"However, the pharmacist was no pushover. With his various magical medicines, he not only killed all the pursuers, but also poisoned the young master to death..."

Seeing this, the corners of Jiang Xinghuo's mouth twitched twice. He thought he had watched some melodramatic TV series. He was very familiar with this plot.

But as he continued watching, he felt that the plot was much more realistic.

"The pharmacist's actions angered the alchemist family. They sent out all the masters in the family to hunt down the pharmacist endlessly. The pharmacist was alone and was no match for them. In the end, he was severely injured and fled back to Middle-earth."

"After this pharmacist came back, he lived in seclusion in a medicine house outside of Guandong City. He wanted to study in seclusion and combine Western magic potions with Chinese medicine to develop a more powerful medicine to support his revenge plan."

"But unfortunately, he did not succeed. Instead, he was eroded by the drugs and lost a lot of his lifespan. He had no choice but to go to the Tianshi Temple, which was more than ten miles away, to find other ways to take revenge."

"If anyone can see this suicide note, it means he has failed. The things here are your reward. You just need to go to the Tianshi Temple and collect his remains. I will give you a thank-you gift later."

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

After reading the scrolling fonts, Jiang Xinghuo let out a long sigh, remembering that when he was at the Grand Temple, the juggler told him that there was a temple in the mountains where the disciples of Tianshi Dao once lived.

I don't know if these two are referring to the same place.

"You left the secret room, walked out of the medicine room, and came outside the house."

"You noticed that there are herbs planted around the cabin. Those are necessary items for making potions. Since there are almost no plants grown in Middle-earth, pharmacists can only grow them themselves."

"The scavenger died tragically on the street because he inhaled the scent of these drugs and had no way to detoxify." "You can transplant them into the magic space and let these herbs continue to grow, so that you can use them to make magic potions in the future."

"Do you want to transplant these herbs?"

When Jiang Xinghuo saw this good opportunity, he immediately chose to transplant, and soon the game sent a success message.

Jiang Xinghuo opened the magic bag and looked inside. He saw that a piece of land had been cleared outside the cabin, with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants planted in it. A faint purple mist was floating outside the cabin, forming an invisible barrier.

The Ganoderma lucidum seemed to sense the danger and hid a hundred meters away early, not daring to approach these herbs.

Instead, the griffin's eyes were shining, as if it was eager to try these herbs.

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo quickly called the griffin to his side and nipped its idea in the bud.

Seeing that its master did not allow it, the griffin growled softly a few times and stopped looking at the herbs.

Jiang Xinghuo finally breathed a sigh of relief. The griffin was originally a Western magical creature. Maybe these bitter herbs might contain the vegetables it liked to eat.

If the griffin ate it all, he might not be able to find the raw materials when he wanted to make potions in the future.

After leaving the magic space, Jiang Xinghuo picked up his mobile phone and continued his game.

"You left this medicine house."

"Where are you going next?"

"Are we going to the Tianshi Temple mentioned by the pharmacist? Or are we going to the Nanyang Gu Master's hut?"

Two options.

Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a while and decided to go to Tianshi Temple first and wait for the time of the scapegoat to be over at Nanyang Gu Master's place. It would not be too late to go there later when he had the capital to escape.

"You chose to go to the Tianshi Temple."

"You walked along the path in the mountains, unfolded the land-based divine movement method, and turned into a golden lightning. Not long after, you arrived at the Tianshi Temple mentioned by the Medicine Master."

"This Tianshi Temple has been abandoned for a long time. The talismans and prayer flags outside have been weathered by wind and rain and have faded and decayed. When you push open the door and walk into the yard, all you see is a wasteland."

"You walked into the dilapidated hall and saw two skeletons sitting on the futon. Do you want to go forward and check them out?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought that among the two skeletons, one should be the pharmacist, and the other one might be the owner of the Taoist temple.

"You stepped forward and began to explore the two skeletons."

"One very interesting thing you found is that the sternum of both bodies was broken, but the direction of the break was not inwards, but outwards."

“It’s like something is forcing its way out of them.”

Seeing the text description, Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but feel a little creepy. Could it be some kind of evil magic?
"You found a handwritten letter under the futon."

"When you open it, you'll see that it was left by the pharmacist."

"He said in his handwritten letter that he and the abbot of the Tianshi Temple practiced a technique, but ultimately failed and suffered backlash from the technique."

"If anyone sees this handwritten letter later, they must leave the temple immediately to avoid the same misfortune as them."

"Do you want to leave immediately?"
