I played the world alone

Chapter 337

"This is the first time I heard this name..."

The fair-skinned man opposite thought carefully and realized that he had never heard this name before.

It stands to reason that if he is so strong, he should still have some fame no matter how low-key he is.

Xu Xun was also a little surprised, because judging from this information alone, this girl should be a very pure ordinary person.

She has a good face and above-average grades. She has been working in accounting since graduating from university. Currently, she only works in a private company.

All the files from birth to now are complete, without any problems, and there is not even a trace of criminal record or any other stain.

Ordinary to the point of being almost inconspicuous, just like normal people.

He pondered for a while, and the fair-skinned man opposite said a little impatiently: "I don't understand, why don't I ask President Bai for instructions, and go over and meet her now to see what she means."

"inappropriate."

Xu Xun thought for a while but rejected it: "We can't alert the enemy. Besides, it seems that the other party has no malicious intent at present, and his strength is not clear yet. It is better to investigate the origin of the other party first."

At this time, he suddenly remembered what the other party called himself at that time.

"By the way, it seems that the surname she said at that time was not Zhu, but Tian? There is some discrepancy with this information. Did she deliberately make up a false one to hide her identity or..."

The fair man suddenly thought of something: "Could it be...possession?"

"Possessed?" Xu Xun asked.

"Yes, it's probably the soul of another strong person possessing this ordinary person, using her body to fight..."

He touched his chin and thought: "If that's the case, then there might be some clues."

"Oh?" Xu Xun immediately cheered up, "What do you know?"

"It's not a very secret matter." The fair-skinned man spread his hands and said, "There are not many strong people named Tian, ​​especially with such amazing strength, the range can be narrowed down a lot."

"But talking about possession, something that only ghosts can do, reminds me of a legend that was circulated a hundred years ago."

"It is said that there was a wealthy Tian family at that time, but for some reasons, dozens of members of the whole family died overnight..."

He briefly explained the story at that time, especially that there seemed to be a god descending to earth to suppress the ghosts.

"But after that, no one dared to buy and live in this house, and it is said that when someone passed by, they could hear voices inside."

The fair-skinned man was very interested when talking about this matter: "It's a pity that I didn't know about it at the time, otherwise I would definitely go and have a look."

"Later, the war ended and the political situation stabilized. In order to eliminate this feudal superstition, the local people planned to demolish this dilapidated house and rebuild it into a youth school."

"As a result, the day after the plan was finalized, the locals discovered that the house had disappeared, leaving only an empty foundation, as if it had flown away out of thin air."

"After that, a local legend began to spread."

The fair-skinned man lowered his voice a little as if telling a ghost story.

"Someone, if they are unlucky, may walk on a completely unfamiliar path in the middle of the night and encounter that dilapidated old house from the Republic of China."

"Sometimes there is a funeral, and there are several coffins. Sometimes it is a wedding. The hall is full of guests, but the people sitting at the table are all paper figures."

"If there is a happy event, then you can come back safely after drinking some wedding wine. At most, you will catch a cold and feel unwell for a few days."

"If it's a funeral, then maybe even my life will have to be left there."

Seeing Xu Xun's suspicious look, the fair man quickly added: "Minister Xu, I'm not bluffing you. There should be this legend still circulating among the elderly in Linhai City, where this story took place."

"And I had a friend from the demon clan before. According to his personal experience, he accidentally ran into the Tian family's house and almost lost his life in it! After escaping with great difficulty, now he can't even be beaten to death. Dare to step even half a step near that place.”

He pondered for a while: "If that thing from the Tian family's residence escaped, then it might actually have the strength to defeat two foundation-building monsters."

Xu Xun nodded slightly: "I will send someone to investigate this matter again. Thank you for your help."

"It's easy to talk. After all, we are all companions who help each other." The other party chuckled, but still winked and whispered, "But having said that, what happened to the matter that President Bai discussed with you before? There is a result. Are you done yet?"

Xu Xun knew what the other party was talking about.

Ever since the Immortal said he would accept disciples, not only the humans, but also the demons had some interest.

President Bai also contacted him almost immediately, wanting to know if the children of the demon clan could also have a chance.

After all, the demon tribe is now a companion of mankind, and is promoting further integration. It is not surprising to have such a request.

However, this matter was of great importance after all. Xu Xun did not agree rashly, but had to think about it.

"I still need to ask for further advice on this matter."

……

The so-called request for instructions is actually mainly to ask Yueze for his opinion.

After the demon clan representatives left, Xu Xun immediately sent a message to Yueze.

When he picked up the phone, he immediately stated the requirements from the demon clan.

Lu Chen on the other side of the phone was naturally prepared.

After all, Bai Suzhen is her puppet, and she made this request with his instructions behind her back.

So now he pondered for a moment and then agreed directly: "No problem."

"Furthermore, the demon race and the human race are not the same species. I can make the decision in addition to your quota, and provide five more spots for the demon race."

After all, I want to study the cultivation techniques of the demon clan, and I can't do it without the demon beasts as experiments.

Of course, I won't treat them badly.

Xu Xun suddenly felt certain and breathed a sigh of relief.

The current situation is turbulent, and the most important thing is to ensure stability.If there are no quotas, there is no guarantee that the Monster Clan will have any gaps.

Now this is definitely the best result.

Immediately, he did not forget to talk about ghosts.

After learning about this, Lu Chen was slightly stunned.

Tianjia...

Of course he knew and was familiar with it.

I just didn't expect that in the past hundred years, the timid and weak Tian Fangrou seemed to have changed unexpectedly.

He has even become a mysterious and powerful person in other people's mouths, and is feared by others...

This contrast made him feel a little dazed.

It was as if the daughter of a lonely father had grown up again when he reunited after a long absence, which was quite emotional.

However, this was already expected. After all, I had patiently taught him for a period of time. To a certain extent, he could even be regarded as my first apprentice to truly teach him his skills. "I see."

His tone remained as calm as ever, and he replied calmly: "I already know about this matter, but the other party doesn't have any ill intentions. I will deal with it as soon as possible."

"Also, have there been too many ghost incidents recently?"

He was more concerned about this than Tian Fangrou's affairs.

I have heard of these things before, but the ghost patrols at that time had no results. I wonder if the ghosts sent were too weak and were not discovered or for other reasons.

Now it seems that there may be more problems than I thought.

Xu Xun's voice also became a little serious: "That's right."

"As far as we know, ghosts often appear now, which has never happened before. Maybe as you said before, the revival of spiritual energy has caused the number of ghosts to increase."

Of course, Lu Chen knew that these were his own excuses and would not really believe them.

There must be some unknown reason behind the increase in the number of these ghosts.

"I will investigate this matter. You should also pay more attention to see if anything strange happens."

In the current world, there are basically only two situations where ghosts appear. The death of a transcendent person or the death of a monster will lead to this situation if the soul has not dissipated.

But he also thought of another special situation.

For example, someone accidentally ate the flesh and blood of a monster and strengthened their soul. Just like Tian Fangrou back then, she was lucky enough to survive in hiding without being exposed to the sun right after she was born.

"If that's the case, there might be some trouble..."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Chen thought for a while. He still had to rely on ghosts to send them to deal with this matter.

But before that, I have to meet Tian Fangrou and give her a little beating to prevent her from causing any trouble.

……

"The Tian family..."

After Yan Wenle received Xu Xun's order, he personally took several soldiers and members of the cooperating demon clan to Linhai City to start investigating matters about the Tian family.

Because the background of the incident was during the Republic of China, when the current situation was turbulent, a lot of information has not been handed down. At most, it was passed down by word of mouth from some old people, so it was more important to visit and learn more.

And from here, they did learn some legends and stories from that time.

It's basically the same as what I knew before.

However, what some people here say is even more powerful. Some people describe the scene of subduing demons and demons as outrageous, as if the sky is falling and the earth is falling.

It is even said that Tathagata Buddha personally lowered his hand from heaven to suppress the female ghost in red.

If I hadn't heard the protagonist, I probably would have thought it was about Journey to the West.

In short, I understand what happened.

Following the guidance of some people, they found the most visited place about the Tian family's old house, an unknown deep mountain.

It is said that many people who accidentally broke in came out of this mountain when they came out.

But right at the foot of the mountain, they saw a somewhat dilapidated cabin.

It looked like it had been there for a long time, and there were some funeral supplies outside, such as wreaths, paper figures, etc., and even a coffin.

It should be a paper-making shop.

There was an old man with gray hair sitting at the door. He was meticulous and wearing a pair of reading glasses. He was holding a golden talisman in his hand and folding it into a gold ingot.

There is already half a small basket on the ground next to it.

Yan Wenle took a closer look and then looked at the other people traveling with him.

They all felt that it was strange for this paper-making shop to appear here, even though the old man was just an ordinary person without any cultivation.

And since we are here to investigate, it is obviously more appropriate to ask local people.

He took a few steps forward. The old man seemed to hear the footsteps and looked up.

Before they could ask, the other party lowered his head again and said casually: "You are here to see the Tian family's old house, right?"

"Go back, it's not here anymore."

"How did you guess our purpose of coming?" Yan Wenle originally wanted to ask for a drink of water as an excuse to slowly build a relationship and ask slowly, but he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Why would someone come to such a completely worthless remote mountain and old forest at this time? Besides looking for this, what other purpose could there be?" The old man chuckled, seemingly not surprised.

"There's no way he's here to chat with me, old man."

Yan Wenle smiled awkwardly and listened to the other party continue: "There are many adventurers like you. They all want to give it a try after hearing about this supernatural attraction. No matter whether it is dangerous or not."

He sighed softly: "Don't blame me for being talkative, old man. That place is not something ordinary people can go to. Fortunately, most people have no chance to see it. Otherwise, if they really want to see it with their own eyes, this Yin Qi will enter the body. I'm afraid that at least my body will be damaged, and at worst my life will be at risk!"

Yan Wenle felt that he had found the right person, and the person in front of him seemed to understand him very well.

"You said that, you have seen it with your own eyes before?"

The old man glanced at him again, but did not answer directly.

"Young man, why do you think I am doing these things in such a place where birds don't shit?"

He pointed at the things at hand, paper figurines, paper money wreaths, and smiled to himself.

"You don't think anyone will come to me specifically to buy it, do you? Even if you buy it, it's not worth it at all."

"Today's people, the ones produced in factories are already plentiful and cheap. These things I make are slower and more expensive, so no one will buy them."

Yan Wenle felt like he had guessed something, but he couldn't believe it and asked in a low voice: "Is that... made for ghosts?"

The old man was a little surprised: "I can't tell, young man, do you still believe this?"

"Yes, I made these things for the two people in the Tian family's old house."

"They say that the paper objects sold in those stores now look beautiful and useful, but in fact they are useless even if they are burned, and they are just like waste in their hands."

"Only if I do it with my own hands and sincerity can they be satisfied."

"So they made a special promise to me. As long as I stay here and do these things for them, they can give my descendants peace and wealth throughout their lives."

Perhaps it was because he felt lonely after staying here for so long with no one to talk to, so the old man couldn't hold it back and spoke more.

However, it did allow Yan Wenle and others to understand a little more about these secret things.

"Then you said it has moved, but do you know where it has moved?"
