Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 289: The Underworld Crow Prophet
After leaving Jin Chao's office, Bai Bowen wanted to say something to Chen Xin, but in the end he just said "I'll return the Yang Stone to you tomorrow" and left.

Chen Xin didn't take Bai Bowen's emotional changes too seriously.

Rather than wondering what Bai Bowen was thinking, Chen Xin would rather think about whether there were any new ideas for talismans in the "Night Talk Folk Customs Forum".

Come to think of it, it had been a while since he had seen any good folklore-related stuff on the forum.

Sure enough, without Yunlongtian, the Yehua Forum would remain in eternal darkness.

After expressing his emotion, Chen Xin checked out several forum bigwigs other than "Tiancan Dique" that he had followed before.

For example, let Chen Xin make a cloth dog with the inscription "Sword Pointing to the Thousand Years", or let Chen Xin compile a coin to ward off evil spirits called "Spiritual Food".

However, these two big guys are not as intensive as "Tiancan Dique" in flooding the forum, and at the same time, not every answer in the forum will be associated with corresponding folk items.

So Chen Xin didn't get any good ideas for talismans from these two people, which was a bit regrettable.

the next day.

Jin Chao did not let the two continue to take on tasks to deal with supernatural events. Instead, he spent a day reviewing the slaughterhouse incident with them to see if there was a better solution.

Chen Xin also learned a lot from Jin Chao's experience.

For example, bloodletting.

Most sneaky creatures will become crazier after seeing blood. This madness will make them more ferocious, but on the contrary, their rationality will decrease.

For example, if the pig this time had been driven crazy early on, the situation in which Chen Xin and Bai Bowen were defeated separately would not have occurred.

The two of them worked together to face the pig, and even if they couldn't defeat it, they could use the Yang Stone to escape.

For example, before entering the slaughterhouse, open the windows of the slaughterhouse from the outside wider to allow the positive energy from the outside to enter the slaughterhouse, reduce the sneaky home advantage, and reduce the difficulty of exploration.

These were things the two had never thought of.

Even Chen Xin only feels confident because of his strength. If he really doesn't have the strength to back him up, he might be in a similar situation to Bai Bowen.

After the review and teaching, Jin Chao recommended the two to exchange some items that would be convenient for them to use.

It was not recommended before because Jin Chao wanted the two of them to experience a supernatural event and gain a deep understanding, so that they would know which things would be used where and when to use them.

Otherwise, carrying those things would just be a burden.

After getting familiar with those things, Chen Xin returned to his rental house and did not accept Bai Bowen's invitation to continue in-depth communication.

It’s not that Chen Xin doesn’t want to communicate with Bai Bowen, but something happened tonight and Chen Xin didn’t want to talk too much with Bai Bowen.

Crow Prophet, you are about to be promoted!

After nurturing in Sanshan Village for so long, the Crow Prophet is finally reaching the stage of promotion.

"What could the Crow Prophet's underworld-level ability be?"

Chen Xin was somewhat looking forward to it.

After waiting until one o'clock in the morning, the phantom of Chen Xin in Sanshan Village saw changes.

The Crow Prophet, who was perched on a branch of the big banyan tree in Sanshan Village, trembled and suddenly burst into flames.

Then, after an unpleasant crow cry, the Crow Prophet... exploded!
The exploded Crow Prophet turned into hundreds of crow feathers and shot towards various places in Sanshan Village.

After everything calmed down, the cries of the Crow Prophet began to be heard throughout Sanshan Village.

The phantom was a little confused after taking a look.

The Crow Prophet actually teleported in Sanshan Village!

"The Raven Prophet's underworld-level ability is teleportation?"

With surprise and curiosity, Chen Xin looked at the newly appeared entry of Crow Prophet.

"Defending against evil: Crow Feather"

Uses: Pre-birth, evil-suppression, feather-sending
Current power: Hell level
Send feathers?

Looking at the new entry, Chen Xin showed confusion, and then his fingers touched the page.

Basic information about Yoriha appeared in his mind.

The so-called feather transmission means that the Crow Prophet can condense crow feathers when in crow form.

There is a special connection between the Crow Feather and the Crow Prophet after it is shot, and this connection allows the Crow Prophet to do certain things.

For example, the Crow Prophet can appear at the location of any crow feather, achieving an effect similar to teleportation.

This kind of crow feather has no restrictions on distance or range, which means that the Crow Prophet can shoot a crow feather anywhere and then teleport there at a certain time.

Of course, there are not really no limits.

The shot crow feathers are actually maintained by the Crow Prophet's calming power. The duration of each crow feather depends on how much calming power the Crow Prophet gives it.

Moreover, the distributed calming power will not be restored over time. Unless the crow feather disappears or is damaged, the calming power of the Crow Prophet will be restored.

That is to say, after shooting out the crow feathers, the strength of the Crow Prophet will decrease. No matter how many or how few are shot, as long as they are shot, the Crow Prophet's hard power will fall to the underworld.

From the information given, it is roughly said that the Crow Prophet can shoot out a crow feather that lasts for seven days at most, or seven crow feathers that last for one day, and a maximum of one hundred crow feathers that last for an hour.

There is a special situation among them. That is, if the crow feather of the Crow Prophet is shot into the body of a living crow, the crow feather will last for a very long time.

How long it is exactly? This needs to be tested in practice.

The crow shot by Crow Feather can be controlled by the Crow Seer, who can replace the crow when needed.

In addition to these, the shot out crow feather will still retain the abilities of the magpie feather itself.

That is, the shot out crow feathers can also show the degree of sneakiness with different lights, and can also turn into fire crows to attack, but crow feathers cannot be shot out. The strength of these crow feathers is roughly at the Yin Shuai level.

After seeing Wu Que Yu's new ability, many ways of using it flashed through Chen Xin's mind.

However, those methods can only be tested later, but there is one thing he can test now!
Walking out of the master bedroom, Chen Xin came to the second bedroom.

Just a second after the door was opened, an unpleasant creaking sound was heard.

Looking at the crow in the cage whose feathers had not yet fully grown, Chen Xin felt helpless.

Ever since he plucked the crow's feathers to make magpie feathers, Chen Xin would be attacked by it whenever he fed it or changed its water. Sometimes, it would even drink water and then splash it towards Chen Xin, launching a long-range attack.

Fortunately, it doesn't throw out its own shit, otherwise Chen Xin would just send it away.

In other words, Chen Xin has thick skin and tough flesh. If he were an ordinary person, there would be some claw marks and peck marks on his hands.

Of course, ordinary people would not pluck the feathers of a crow.

Looking at the crow that was thrashing and squawking in the cage, Chen Xin stretched out his right hand and summoned the Crow Prophet.

“Ga ga… ga?”

The appearance of the Crow Prophet silenced the crows in the cage.

Chen Xin was surprised and reached out to send the Crow Prophet to the cage.

As a result, when the crow saw the Crow Prophet coming, it turned its featherless butt towards Chen Xin and turned around and hid in the corner.

Looks...very introverted.

Chen Xin was helpless. If he had known earlier, he would have asked the Crow Prophet to come out and train him earlier to avoid all the noise.

Turning around, he signaled to the Crow Prophet.

The Crow Prophet received the order and looked at the crows with his red eyes. As he flapped his wings, a feather shot into the body of the crow in the cage and disappeared.

Before Chen Xin could start the experiment, some miraculous changes occurred in the crow.

The missing feathers on its tail and wings grew back rapidly, contrary to common sense.

Chen Xin was surprised, and the crow itself seemed to be shocked by its own changes.

"Gah!"

The Crow Prophet cawing at the still curious crow.

The crow, which was originally restless, immediately jumped onto the horizontal pole in the cage and stood there waiting for inspection.

"good."

Chen Xin watched the crow's movements and praised it. The crow feather shot by the Crow Prophet could only last for an hour, but Chen Xin felt that the crow feather consumed its power very slowly.

According to this situation, a crow feather injected into a living crow can last at least five to seven days.
If you shoot out a crow feather that can only condense into one, wouldn't it be able to control for a whole year?

Chen Xin didn't know. A year was too long. Even if he wanted to test it, he didn't have the time. But at least he knew that the Living Crow greatly enhanced the ability of [Feather Sending].

Chen Xin was very satisfied with this.

Looking at the crow, Chen Xin reached out and opened the birdcage, which he had never opened since he bought it.

Then, the crow in the cage jumped out and stood obediently on the table.

Chen Xin looked at this scene, stretched out his left hand, and gave instructions to the Crow Prophet beside him.

In just half a second, the crow flew up and landed in Chen Xin's hand.

"Although the transmission of the command needs to go through the Crow Prophet, the delay is not high and it is usable."

Chen Xin then tried to project his consciousness into the living crow, and unexpectedly it was successful.

"The crow feathers that are shot out can also carry my consciousness. In this case, if I find a group of crows and let the Crow Prophet do something with them, wouldn't that be equivalent to obtaining a group of cameras with attack capabilities?"

"No, that's not right. The Crow Prophet's ability of [Feather Sending] seems to be most suitable for use in the underworld!"

Living crows may not be able to adapt to the underworld, but the Crow Prophet's [Feather Sending] ability does not rely on living crows.

Although this ability lasts for a short time, Chen Xin does not need to monitor Yin Ming all the time. He only needs to use this ability in certain scenarios.

For example, the dark area corresponding to the photo.

Chen Xin can easily let the Crow Prophet condense hundreds of crow feathers, activate the crow feathers and transform them into hundreds of crows to fly into every corner of the underworld, and then find out all the situations in this underworld area.

In addition, Wu Queyu itself has the ability to find the location of ghosts, so after the crow flies over once, it can directly find all the ghosts in the entire dark area!
Isn't this just like turning on the full map and perspective when playing a game?
Even if one or two crows were killed during the blood disaster, it would not be a big deal for Chen Xin.

This is much more convenient and safer than using a chicken to explore.

Even if Chen Xin is willing, all ghosts below the ferocious level in a dark area can be accurately attacked in this way.

After all, a crow feather is equivalent to a Yin Shuai. Even if the strength of the condensed crow feather is the lowest among the Yin Shuai, it is not something that a fierce ghost can resist.

After figuring out the uses of the black magpie feather, Chen Xin looked at the Crow Prophet with a much gentler gaze.

That night, Chen Xin thought about many uses of the Crow Prophet.

One of them Chen Xin found very useful.

That is to let the Crow Prophet's ability replace the Butterfly Dog to issue and deliver tasks to the Yin Chai.

After all, the Crow Prophet can control the sounds made by crows, and can also gather the information conveyed by those crows.

Except that they cannot directly insert the information of the underworld into the Yinchai's computer like Jiuri did, these clones of the Crow Prophet can do what Jiuri can do.

Chen Xin could even let those controlled living crows act as messengers and stay with the Yincha for a long time.

In this way, the cloth dog can be liberated.

Once the Bu Gou is liberated, he can continue to advance and enter the underworld!
The only trouble is how to send Crow Feather to the Yinchai and how to make the Yinchai recognize the existence of Crow Feather.

This matter is worthy of in-depth study, and Chen Xin also needs time to judge whether this approach will have some disadvantages that he has not expected.

Just like that, Chen Xin, who had been thinking all night, did not even think about taking a nap. He went directly to the Public Opinion Survey Bureau early in the morning and followed Jin Chao and Bai Bowen to the location of the next task.

……

While Chen Xin was driving his main character to kill monsters in the Novice Village, Ye Chang, the second ghost messenger in the underworld, recently encountered a problem at work.

Because Ye Chang brought out several supernatural authors, his status on the End Novel Network has improved a lot.

Of course, this status does not mean a salary increase, but rather 'respect' among editors.

In the past, Ye Chang gave others the impression of being a senior editor with many years of experience in the industry.

But I can’t think of any representative achievements.

Therefore, he is a semi-transparent character in the editorial department. That is, when a new editor joins the department from time to time, he will be called "Teacher Ye".

But usually after half a year, or even less than half a year, he would become "Old Ye".

But things are different now.

Today, Ye Chang gives people the impression of being a senior supernatural editor who has been in the industry for many years, has personally brought out a supernatural author with tens of thousands of subscriptions, and has transformed the supernatural category of Terminal Novel Network from a niche category to a semi-popular category.

This impression made him evolve from 'Old Ye' to 'Teacher Ye' and 'Brother Ye'.

It would be a lie to say that I'm unhappy.

Coupled with the fact that he gained energy and blood after practicing [Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts·Volume Two], Ye Chang can be said to have been doing very well recently.

But life can't be smooth sailing.

Just a few days ago, the author with tens of thousands of subscribers that he brought up stopped updating!

The editor's guide to the author does not mean that the work ends after the book is put on the shelves with 10,000 orders.

The author will get different results for the editor if he writes the book to different word counts.

Five hundred thousand words is one level, and one million words is another level.

When some editors are short of business, they are afraid that authors of high-quality works with tens of thousands of subscriptions will be cut after writing hundreds of thousands of words.

Ye Chang had just recovered, so he naturally couldn't let this happen.

After several conversations, the author with tens of thousands of subscriptions finally shared his difficulties.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to write, but that he doesn’t dare to write.

The author's supernatural novel progressed to a new plot, which he adapted based on what happened in his own village.

This is where the problem lies.

What he wrote came true!

After hearing this answer, Ye Chang's first reaction was that the author was teasing him, because many authors nowadays like to find various reasons when they can't continue writing novels.

I don’t want to write about winning a million in the lottery.

If you get caught for prostitution, you'll have to stay in jail for a while.

As an editor, Ye Chang has seen a lot of these things.

If it were in the past, Ye Chang would have tried to persuade him for these days, but he would definitely stop after hearing this reason.

But when he thought of his other identity, he suddenly became more suspicious of the author's reasons.

After thinking for a long time, Ye Chang finally decided to go to the village of the author with 10,000 subscriptions to see if things were really as the author said.

If it was true, he could try to see if he could solve it.

If it was fake, then he would give up the idea of ​​asking the author to remake it.

So, after taking leave, Ye Chang traveled thousands of miles and took a day-long high-speed train to where the author was.

Shoucai City, Fukang Village.

When he saw the author, Ye Chang was also shocked, but he believed it to about 80%.

The eye sockets were sunken like ink wells, the half-open eyes were tired yet alert, and the temples were covered with dandruff like crushed salt.

When he saw Ye Chang, the author walked up and extended his hand.

"Changda, you are here."

Ye Chang held the other person's hand and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Looking down, he saw that his ten fingernails had been bitten down to the flesh, revealing spots of blood on his fingers.

"You, what's wrong with you?"

"Changda, I really didn't lie to you. I really don't dare to write any more. If I continue, I'm afraid that I won't make any money, but I'll be dead!"
