I played the world alone

Chapter 338 Exclusive Craftsmanship (Two in One)

"Did you go to Jintan City?" Yan Wenle asked.

"I do not know then."

The old man shook his head and laughed to himself.

"Those ghosts and gods come and go without a trace. How can an ordinary person like me be able to guess them. If the old housekeeper hadn't told me before leaving, I might not be as well-informed as you."

Next, they tried to ask a few more questions, but the old man couldn't answer any of his questions, so they stopped asking. After saying goodbye, they walked towards the mountain.

After walking a little further, one of the team members looked back at the small house at the bottom of the mountain.

"How many of what you said about this man are true?"

Yan Wenle thought for a while: "I think it's about [-]% true and [-]% false, and there should be a lot of content hidden from us."

Others also nodded.

Believable only when true and false are mixed together.

However, there are also more naive people who are curious and ask: "But why did he lie to us? What good does this do to him?"

Yan Wenle said: "Maybe the ghost made a promise to him before leaving and asked him to help conceal the news."

"When the time comes, let the ministry send people to monitor it secretly. The other party will definitely make further moves. Let's not alert the enemy this time. Let's take a look here first."

Several people went up the mountain together, checked carefully, and found a place with a relatively strong Yin Qi.

But at this time, the building was empty, there was only an open space and nothing else.

"He really ran away... But even so, I feel that the owner here was very strong. Look..." The demon clan who spoke touched the surrounding trees and touched a few burnt hairs.

"This should be the remaining traces of some kind of formation."

"And this formation is very deep, I can't understand it."

"It's really that powerful..." Yan Wenle didn't understand either, but it sounded like it was powerful.

"Let's record the remaining aura here and keep a file when we go back. Maybe there will be clues later..."

Several people nodded and started to take action.

……

Night falls.

The two people responsible for tracking were a thousand meters away, using binoculars to observe the movements of the cabin at the foot of the mountain.

"It's already eleven o'clock in the evening. The lights in the cabin have been turned off for more than an hour. There is still no movement. Is there no movement tonight?"

In the lens of the telescope, there is nothing unusual about the old man. It can even be said that he is a bit honest and boring, with almost no entertainment activities.

I just listen to the broadcast on an old radio. Other than that, I keep making funeral supplies, taking an occasional break in the middle, and then continuing to make them.

They stared at him a little strangely, wondering if there was something wrong with the target chosen for this mission.

However, although he was doubtful, he still had professionalism and insisted on continuing to take turns to follow.

About half an hour passed.

It was time to change shifts again, but just when the second person started to look at the wooden house, he suddenly noticed something strange at the door of the wooden house.

"Wait a minute, was the paper man at the door moved just now?"

"where?"

The other person immediately stepped forward to observe, and then frowned.

"Hey, it seems to be really..."

Those paper figures were originally made and leaned against the wall, and some of them were not painted yet.

But at this moment, one of them strangely left the wall and stood on the ground, and then knocked gently on the door like a living person.

The eyes of the two people following him suddenly widened, and an indescribable feeling of horror arose in their hearts.

Immediately, the lights inside the wooden house came on, and then the door slowly opened, and I was surprised to see the old man slowly walking out, and bowed to the paper man in fear and respect.

"Hiss...this old man really has a secret..."

Seeing this strange and terrifying scene, both of them couldn't help but be shocked.

But the distance was too far, and no bugs were installed during the day, so I didn't know what the other party said at this moment.

The two parties seemed to be talking for a while, and then gave the old man something.

After the old man accepted it, the paper man returned to lean against the wall, and everything returned to calm.

The two looked at each other, glad that tonight's efforts were not in vain...

The next morning.

As soon as the old man opened the door, he found that the group of people from yesterday had appeared at the door again, and he couldn't help but be startled.

"Do these guests want to buy some funeral supplies? Otherwise, why would they come to my place every day?"

There was something unwelcome in his words and tone.

However, when they bluntly pointed out what happened last night, the other party's expression suddenly changed, showing a bit of anger and guilt.

"If someone comes to buy something from me, I will sell it to him. It is a matter of course. What does it have to do with you? Leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

"Of course there is no problem with normal business, but if the object of your transaction is a ghost, and you deliberately hide it from us, then there will be a problem."

Yan Wenle rarely put on a dignified look, quite a bit like Xu Xun's temperament.

"But you can rest assured that we are definitely not here to hurt or stop you. We just need you to tell us what you know."

……

Soon, the investigation results here were sent to Xu Xun.

Yan Wenle stood nearby and explained: "According to our investigation results, this old man should be someone who has served the Tian family for generations."

"His grandfather was once a woodcutter in the mountains. He accidentally fell off a cliff and was rescued by the ghosts of the Tian family. He was also given a fortune, and he served them willingly."

"Later, he was taught how to make those funeral objects. He slowly studied them from scratch, and the things he made became more and more satisfying to the Tian family. Now his generation has become more mature."

"Basically all the funeral items he made will be taken away by the Tian family. As a reward, the Tian family will give him some gold and silver antiques hidden in the mountains, so that his family will not have to worry about life."

"It's just that when those gold and silver treasures have been used up, there is only a little gold now, and they mainly use some pills condensed from spiritual energy in exchange. It is said that this pill can strengthen their body and relieve them from illness."

Xu Xun pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Do you still have the funeral supplies he made? Did you bring some back to study?"

Yan Wenle immediately smiled confidently: "Boss, I have been with you for so long and you still don't believe me? I must have brought him back. But based on current research, it seems that there is nothing special about what he did." "And our current department There are no ghosts here who can make judgments for us, and we can’t determine whether this thing is true or false.”

Xu Xun nodded: "But since the Tian family of that ghost has admitted this thing and has been trading it, it means it should be effective."

He thought for a while and then immediately made a judgment: "See if you can let him provide us with as much of these things as possible without affecting the amount provided to the Tian family?"

After the previous extraordinary events, Xu Xun already had a premonition of these things.

If these things are really useful, then maybe ghosts and the like will appear on a large scale in the future, then maybe they can be used.

Especially the underworld money and the like.

Isn't there a saying that money can make all the difference?

It is definitely not talking about real currency, but ghost money and the like.

In short, it’s always a good idea to prepare a little more first.

If it is really useful by then, then these ghost notes might play a key role!

But surprisingly, Yan Wenle smiled bitterly.

"I'm afraid it won't work."

"Now this old man has put all his energy into making these things. He has no time to spare. This just barely meets the needs of the Tian family. There is rarely any excess."

"Then no one else knows this kind of production method? Is it really an exclusive secret?" Xu Xun was a little surprised.

Yan Wenle nodded: "It's really unique. It is estimated that only his family members in the world know it. If others want to learn the complete set of operations, it will probably take several years, and they may not be able to learn it."

"But I heard that the old man actually had a son. But his son was unwilling to take over this industry. He thought it was too unlucky and there was no money to be made, so he only worked outside to make money..."

"Based on this amount, the gold and silver treasures given before should be quite a lot..." Xu Xun was stunned.

"Don't say it..." Yan Wenle lowered his voice a little, a little speechless, "You don't know, their ancestors like to squander money everywhere after they have money, and they even got a little bit of it in gambling. When they reach this generation, they basically spend it all. ”

"If nothing else happens, it is estimated that this craft will be lost in his generation. It seems that the Tian family is just a pity, but they did not force it."

"And this thing..."

Xu Xun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he couldn't help but think deeply.

Strictly speaking, the old man's son's original decision was not wrong.

After all, there were almost no ghosts in the world before, so this craft was purely for the use of the Tian family, and when the Tian family ran out of inventory and couldn't pay for it, they could naturally find their own way out.

But things are different now.

Ghosts appear frequently, and the world changes drastically. The other party's skill, which seemed unimportant at first, is now very crucial.

"Send someone to contact you now. If it's just a matter of money, we should be able to solve it. The important thing is that the other party should make something that can be used."

Yan Wenle nodded immediately and smiled: "Actually, I already sent someone to contact you when I came back. There should be news soon."

Xu Xun glanced approvingly.

This guy is now more and more satisfied with his abilities.

……

"Wang Kaijun! Is Wang Kaijun here?"

Wang Kaijun, who was chatting with his co-workers and discussing where to relax after get off work, suddenly heard the factory director's shout and hurriedly sat back down at his workstation seriously. As soon as he sat down, he immediately responded: "Here!"

Immediately, he quickly stood up and faced the factory director who was walking towards him aggressively with some confusion and nervousness. The workers around him looked like they were watching the excitement and gloating about his misfortune, which made his heart skip a beat.

"Could it be that he discovered that I accidentally broke the machine the night before? Or is it too outrageous to take advantage of it, so you are planning to fire me now?!"

He couldn't help but feel a little scared and had a headache.

This is not the first time this has happened.

I have been making useless paper objects with my father since I was a child. From what my father said, they seemed very powerful, but in fact they were of no use at all, and they sounded like they were only for one person.

Although his father seems to be very afraid and unwilling to let him come into contact with him, every time a customer comes to pick up the goods, his father will let him hide in his room. Even if he asks, he is not willing to explain more. He only says that he will wait until he grows up. will tell.

But he once took a sneak look at it, and it was a short old man who looked like a short man.

If it was okay when I was a kid, that customer was quite generous and often gave me valuable things.

But later it didn’t work anymore, so I occasionally gave them some pills made of unknown Chinese medicine. Although it was indeed very comfortable to eat, these pills could not be used as money or as food!
Especially when he later started dating a girlfriend and started thinking about starting a family.

Having great ambitions and realizing that he could not waste time on this craft, he finally decided to work outside.

It's just that although the dream is good, the reality is that it hits a wall one after another.

He has low academic qualifications and low abilities. Apart from the patience and carefulness cultivated by his father since childhood, there is basically nothing outstanding about him.

Slowly smoothing the edges, and with the shackles of family and children, he could only keep his head down and work for the capitalists to make money.

When I think about the living expenses and tuition fees for the two children at home, as well as my wife’s household expenses and mortgage, and because I haven’t bought a gift for my wife for a long time because of tight money...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel more pressure in his heart, making his back bend a little more, and he didn't dare to raise his head as proudly as before.

Rather than losing his job and causing problems in his life, he would rather lose some face or, at worst, be scolded by his boss than lose his job.

"But even if something goes wrong, didn't the team leader always come to me in the past? Why does the factory director come to me personally now..."

He couldn't help but feel more uneasy and a little frightened.

But surprisingly, the factory director seemed to just look at him, without anger or reprimand. Instead, he patted him on the shoulder cheerfully.

"I can't see it, kid. You didn't tell me earlier if you had this kind of relationship."

"Ah?" Wang Kaijun was confused and didn't know what the other party meant.

It doesn't sound like... it's a bad thing.

The factory director pointed outside and said meaningfully: "Follow me, someone is looking for you. We usually don't treat you badly, right? You have to say something nice to our factory later."

Wang Kaijun followed him out cautiously, only to find that the people who came to him were actually several people in military uniforms. He was so shocked that he immediately stood up straight and performed a standard military salute.

"Huh? Have you been a soldier?" One of them chuckled.

"After two years of service, I retired long ago." Wang Kaijun said sheepishly.

"That's good!" The other party patted his shoulder with satisfaction.

He looked again and found that in addition to these people, there were also several people who seemed to be local officials accompanying him. These people even greeted the factory director in a flattering manner, and it seemed that their purpose was not simple.
