My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 8 Dead Dragon

"You sank to the bottom of the well."

"When you came to your senses, you found that the bottom of the well had dried up again. There was no water left, and only a corpse was left there."

Looking at the text that popped up in the game, Jiang Xinghuo thought it was really weird, but no matter what, it was a good thing that he was not dead, and he could continue playing.

"You saw a dead body."

"Based on the clothes it was wearing, you inferred that this corpse might have been a Taoist priest."

"Do you want to choose to go forward and touch the corpse?"

"You held back your nausea and went forward to inspect the body. You found that the body had turned to charcoal, with a distorted expression. It seemed that it had been extremely frightened before death."

"You found a broken compass on the corpse, on which the stars of the universe appeared."

"Fire Dragon Star Compass (Ordinary Broken Material), a magical tool used by Feng Shui masters to detect dragon veins, but now it has been broken and has lost its ability to locate dragons and burial sites. It can only be used as a souvenir."

Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the text and took out a compass, which was covered with cracks. Occasionally, there were illusions of stars passing by, but they were fleeting.

As the game text says, it has lost its original function.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at it for a while, then put the compass away and continued playing the game.

"At this time, you noticed a path behind the corpse. Do you want to go in and take a look?"

Jiang Xinghuo took a deep breath. If he guessed correctly, the dead person's money should be in there.

"You choose to go in and take a look."

"You walked through the mud and reached the end of the path. You found a stone door covered with yellow talismans. It seemed that something was suppressed and sealed inside."

"Do you want to reveal the yellow talisman?"

Two options, yes and no.

Of course Jiang Xinghuo chose yes. There was no reason to stop now.

"Your greed got the better of you, and you chose to uncover the yellow talisman on the door, then pushed open the stone door and walked in."

“You see a lot of wooden boxes in a tight space.”

"But the treasures in the box have long been taken away, leaving only an inconspicuous small wooden box, piled in the corner covered with dust, with no signs of being opened. Do you want to go and take a look?"

"You go over and open the wooden box. There are some strange things in the box."

"You counted them one by one and found a scapegoat, two small five-thunder talismans, a divine talisman for eliminating karmic filth, a wedding candy bag, a volume of "Heavenly Craftsmanship Remains", and a pill of immunity to all poisons."

"Death substitute (excellent item). After fusion, it can protect the host from a fatal crisis and help the host escape. However, it can only be used once within 24 hours."

"Small Five Thunder Talisman (common consumable item), a Taoist thunder technique that can trigger a thunderbolt in a small area. The effect is doubled on a rainy day."

"The Divine Talisman for Eliminating Karmic Traces (Legendary Item), a talisman of unknown origin, has been kept in the Imperial City's treasure house. After using it, it can eliminate all traces of karma on oneself. No deduction technique in the secular world can figure out your identity."

"Wedding Candy Bag (common item), can automatically generate two wedding candies every day. The candies will not be kept overnight. After taking them, you can forget all your worries, but the effect only lasts for one day."

"Heavenly Craftsmanship Remains (Rare Item). In ancient times, there was a divine craftsman on earth whose forging skills surpassed those of heaven and earth. He had the ability to create works of gods and spirits. He had many disciples, and later generations respectfully called him the Master of Heavenly Craftsmanship. This fragment is what he left behind."

"A Pill for Immunity to All Poisons (Excellent Consumable Item), a medicinal pill made by Medicine King Wandering and collecting hundreds of herbs. It has the effect of being immune to all poisons. If you soak it in hot water, you can develop a body that is immune to all poisons. It has the function of strengthening the spirit of living beings, stimulating the potential of living beings, and refining and purifying toxins."

I'm good!

Jiang Xinghuo's eyes were almost dazzled as he watched the game texts constantly appear. This was probably the biggest gain he had made since he entered the game. Various props appeared in endlessly, and the effect of each one was top-notch.

"Do you choose to pick up all the props?" Is there any need to think about it?
If his real body could enter the game, Jiang Xinghuo would have wanted to go there himself.

"You chose to pick up all."

"You got the scapegoat, the small five-thunder talisman, the magic talisman for eliminating the evil traces of cause and effect, the wedding candy bag, the remnant of the heavenly work, and the elixir of immunity to all poisons."

"But your greed angered the dead dragon."

"The dead dragon son was originally the descendant of a true dragon, a noble family, born with innate wisdom, but unfortunately he died young. He still has resentment, so he took advantage of the disaster of the underworld to transform into a human form. Anyone who wants to covet these treasures will be hunted down by it, and the fight will not stop until they die."

"The dead dragon cursed you with death."

"You were tortured by burning."

"Your body was burned to charcoal."

"You are dead..."

After seeing the last text, Jiang Xinghuo finally understood that it was all caused by the dead real dragon.

The burnt Taoist priest at the bottom of the well was cursed by the dead true dragon son and turned into that ghostly appearance because of his greed.

Maybe there is something else about the Taoist priest, but due to the perspective of word games, he cannot explore it to the fullest extent, so he can only leave it like this for now.

Jiang Xinghuo put down his phone and looked at the time. It was already late.

He simply washed up, then returned to his room, lay on the bed, and began to count his gains for the day.

First, I got the dog-skin plaster and Vajra Pills from the medicine seller.

The dog-skin plaster is still on his body, and there is no particularly obvious change for the time being.

And that King Kong Pill...

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the pill in his hand, crushed the wax shell on it and threw it into his mouth. It tasted sour, sweet, and a little bitter, a bit like hawthorn pills, but not bad at all.

The magic bag is too badly damaged to be retrieved for the time being, so we can only wait and see if there is a chance to repair it in the future.

Then, he got the things from the drug addict, the sea cucumber hunting soldier's token and the little door god, both of which he could not use for the time being.

Finally, there was the dead person’s treasure found under the dry well.

This is his biggest gain today.

A scapegoat.

It can help him resist a fatal injury, which is equivalent to giving him an extra life. I just don’t know if it can be used in reality. More importantly, this thing is not a consumable, but a reusable prop.

The Small Five Thunder Talisman can't see anything now. When there is a chance, find a conscienceless master and let the heavenly thunder cleanse his soul.

"Do you want to use the Talisman to Remove the Stain of Cause and Effect?"

The game popped up a prompt.

Jiang Xinghuo did not hesitate and chose to use it directly.

next moment.

A special force instantly permeated his whole body, and the talisman began to take effect. Jiang Xinghuo could vaguely have a feeling that his soul seemed to be above the clouds, completely transcending this world. All the secrets about him were obscured and hidden by the mysterious power.

"Is this the end?"

After coming to his senses, Jiang Xinghuo looked at his body and found no obvious changes. Could it be that the effect of this talisman was so simple?
