Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 338 Combination of Town Seals, Selection of New Town Items (Bonus Chapter 2635)

Chen Xin, who was hiding in the shadows, nodded with satisfaction after seeing that someone had discovered his real estate project.

If the Yinming region where the Three Mountains are located is classified according to the level of ghosts and spirits, it should be classified as the Crimson Region, and even the top-level Crimson Region, because Three Mountains Village has a total of five Black Abyss-level beings.

Putting everything else aside, even if Chen Xin were to destroy the Black Abyss's true form in the street at the next intersection, he wouldn't be afraid of any new ghosts appearing in the merged Yin-Yang region.

Therefore, the current Sanshan settlement is safer than the mortal world, except for the lack of 'humanity'.

In the mortal world, one has to worry about the occasional ghosts and those cynical folk organizations, but in Sanshan Village, there is a Yama-level talisman to protect the house. Not to mention little ghosts, even the Black Abyss would have to knock on the door.

That's why Chen Xin thought of the Sanshan Village real estate project.

The local deities are a feature of the underworld, and the Sanshan Village real estate project is no different.
If it weren't for the previous incident where the Divine Envoy Organization opened the rift, it wouldn't have been a problem. But with that incident as a precedent, Chen Xin believed that no one who had experienced it would want to go through it a second time.

Thus, the real estate in the three mountains of the underworld is quite unique.

Chen Xin didn't mention that after the houses in Sanshan Village were rented out, only the underworld officials could live there.

If the underworld officials had enough good karma to buy enough stickers and bring their families to Sanshan Village, Chen Xin wouldn't say anything.

Furthermore, now that the underworld officials have acquired raven feather raincoats, their combat power and survivability are far superior to before.

Correspondingly, the amount of Yin Virtue Points gained will also increase.

Without adding some operations to recycle Yin Virtue Points, Chen Xin feared that the Yin Messengers would lose their motivation to acquire Yin Virtue.

Seeing that more and more people were discovering the real estate project, and that some had already tried to buy the right to use a house and the lowest level of decoration, Chen Xin nodded in satisfaction.

The so-called renovation is actually just getting the aerial roots of the banyan tree to make way for the area needed for human survival.

The decoration is divided into three levels: basic, fine, and luxury.

The basic and refined decoration styles are both pre-defined by Chen Xin, while the luxury decoration style can be customized to allow more facilities to be created from the aerial roots of the banyan tree. Chen Xin can even provide a plan to build a treehouse in mid-air, mainly to serve the 'boss'.

Seeing that the Sanshan Village real estate was beginning to gain traction among the underworld officials, Chen Xin stopped paying attention and returned to his room, summoning Jiuri to his side.

"Nine Days, I need to do something for the cloth dog later. You go back to the hard drive first."

As Chen Xin spoke, he placed the hard drive next to the cloth dog and used the mourning staff to pull Jiuri out of the cloth dog.

"What are you trying to do?"

On the 9th, Chen Xin typed a line of text on his phone.

"Let's conduct an experiment."

As he spoke, Chen Xin summoned the "Complete Collection of Suppressing Objects" and consumed 10,000 points of Yin Virtue to summon the Pot Heaven Seal.

"Nine Days, can you see what I'm holding?"

Just as they were about to print it, Chen Xin remembered something and asked Jiuri a question.

"In your hand? Isn't that a cloth dog in your hand?"

Seeing that Jiu Ri couldn't see the "Complete Collection of Town-Suppressing Objects" and the Pot Heaven Seal in his hand, Chen Xin then gestured, indicating where he should imprint the Pot Heaven Seal on the cloth dog.

After searching around, Chen Xin looked at the dog's mouth.

"That's it."

Controlling the cloth dog to grow a large head, Chen Xin imprinted the Hutian Seal into the cloth dog's upper jaw.

The seal of the Heavenly Pot disappeared, and the two characters "Heavenly Pot" appeared in the upper palate of the cloth dog.

"Okay, come back and give it a try."

Chen Xin threw the cloth dog onto the hard drive, and the Nine-Day Soul appeared, immediately entering the cloth dog.

"what?"

"how?"

Seeing Jiu Ri's surprised expression, Chen Xin quickly asked.

"I have something in my mouth now."

"You can feel it?"

"Yes, it seems I can open it... uh, what is this, a personal space?"

Hearing Jiuri's words, Chen Xin nodded.

Previously, he was afraid that after the Heavenly Seal was imprinted on the cloth dog, only Chen Xin could control it, which would make things a bit troublesome.

Chen Xin was afraid of trouble.

Fortunately, the result is good now.

"Then try swallowing yang now and see if you can store yang energy in the Pot Heaven space."

"A space within a pot? Okay, I'll give it a try."

On the ninth day, it immediately opened its mouth and began to absorb the yang energy in the air.

However, it was late at night, and there wasn't much yang energy. Jiuri absorbed it for a while before saying, "It's fine, you can go in and out freely."

"That's good."

Chen Xin was satisfied.

Chen Xin didn't care whether the cloth dog self-destructed; what he cared about was the cooperation between the seal and the object.

In retrospect, the seal is like an 'enchantment' or 'gem-setting' function, which can add properties that the seal did not originally have.

Thinking of this, Chen Xin opened the "Complete Guide to Town Statues" and turned to the page about cloth dogs.

After the original list of uses including 【Soul Sealing】【Evil Suppression】【Tooth Marks】【Swallowing Yang】, there is now another one: 【Suppressing Seal·Heavenly Pot】.

"It actually appeared directly in the 'Complete Book of Town-Suppressing Objects'."

Chen Xin was surprised.

Suddenly, he thought of something.

If the "Complete Guide to Town Objects" already has the "Town Seal - Heavenly Pot", will a cloth dog inherit this characteristic if it is created?

Without hesitation, Chen Xin stepped into the Netherworld.

When Chen Xin returned ten minutes later, all the materials needed for the cloth dog had been gathered.

After the new cloth dog was made, Chen Xin did not see the Heavenly Seal in the upper jaw of the cloth dog.

"It seems to only affect individual talismans."

Chen Xin was slightly disappointed, but quickly recovered.

It's only 10,000 merit points, not much at all.

After letting Jiuri take the cloth dog back to Sanshan Village, Chen Xin took out the "Complete Book of Town Objects" again, and after consuming 10,000 Yin Virtue, he summoned the Pot Heaven Seal.

Chen Xin, who held the seal in his left hand, had his gaze fixed on the "Complete Collection of Talismans" in his right hand.

"Since the Complete Collection of Suppressing Objects can suppress evil spirits, it means that the Complete Collection of Suppressing Objects must also be a suppressing object. If it is a suppressing object, then can it also be imprinted with a suppressing seal?"

Chen Xin's eyes flickered.

"It's only a matter of ten thousand merits, let's do it!"

As he spoke, he pressed the Heavenly Seal of the Pot on his left hand against the "Complete Encyclopedia of Suppressing Objects." *Click!*
The moment the Heavenly Seal of the Pot touched the "Complete Collection of Suppressing Objects," it shattered!
Looking at the Hutian Seal that had turned into sand and flowed through his fingers, and then at the cover of the "Complete Collection of Town Objects" that was completely unmarked, Chen Xin remained silent.

"This means... you look down on me?"

Chen Xin looked at the "Complete Guide to Town Statues," sighed, and put it away.

Even now, he knows nothing about the "Complete Book of Town-Suppressing Objects".

Chen Xin had previously guessed that this thing was a naturally occurring Yin entity, similar to a banyan tree, but its level of ghostly activity must be very high, possibly the physical form of a deity after death.

As a result, now that the "Complete Collection of Town Objects" can kill the God of Chaos as easily as playing with it, Chen Xin can no longer equate it with the God of Chaos.

Shaking his head, Chen Xin glanced at the illusory body's writing progress and then took out his phone to browse the "Night Talk Folk Customs Forum".

During this period, the number of existing "Chosen Ones" and forum bigwigs who want to become "Chosen Ones" has increased. In addition, due to the incident caused by the Divine Envoy, many things that Chen Xin thinks can be compiled into talismans have appeared on the forum.

Originally, Chen Xin did not intend to pay attention to the posts on the forum. Instead, he wanted to first sort out the situation of the "Gate of Hell" talisman based on the information about Yin Ming provided by the Bureau of Investigation.

However, after entering the Netherworld, Chen Xin temporarily put this idea aside.

If one is to create a story about the Gates of Hell, one cannot create a half-finished product. It would have been fine if the existence of the Netherworld was unknown before, but now that the existence of the Netherworld is known, the Gates of Hell must also be related to the Netherworld.

Therefore, Chen Xin planned to find an opportunity to trade information about the God of Chaos with the Bureau of Investigation using the new town artifact.

The Bureau of Investigation might not understand the term "Netherworld," but it certainly has information on the concept of "gods of the turbid world."

The gods of the turbid world live in the netherworld, and naturally, they can obtain some information about the netherworld.

If we could figure out how the Bureau of Investigation and the Divine Messenger Organization communicate with the gods of the turbid world, it would definitely help in compiling the story of the Gates of Hell!

With that in mind, Chen Xin turned his attention to the numerous posts.

"Door ornaments, roof cat ornaments, mugwort tiger ornaments, sachets, mouth-swallowing ornaments, and calamus swords are all nice folk items. Which one should I choose?"

As Chen Xin hesitated, he suddenly thought of the 100,000 merits mentioned in the "Complete Book of Town-Suppressing Objects".

"How about we try them all?"

……

In Bai Yongnian's chicken farm room on the outskirts of Mubei City.

Wei Junrui, Bai Hongtao, and Jin Chao were looking at an empty seat.

"You mean Bai Yongnian was here just now, and while he was talking, he turned into a crow and flew away?"

Bai Hongtao looked at Wei Junrui with a solemn expression.

Wei Junrui didn't know how to explain it either.

Bai Yongnian previously used the parameters of the stone carving machine to take advantage of the situation, forcibly made a deal with the Bureau of Public Opinion Survey, and obtained the authority of a Bureau of Public Opinion Survey specialist.

Now that things have stabilized, Bai Hongtao naturally thought of Bai Yongnian, this audacious opportunist, and sent Wei Junrui over to discuss the matter.

Of course, Bai Hongtao did not go back on his word, but he added some details to the requirements that Bai Yongnian had previously made.

Previously, Bai Yongnian said he needed the same treatment and information channels as a special investigator from the Bureau of Public Opinion; now, Bai Hongtao has directly granted Bai Yongnian the status of an ordinary special investigator.

Thus, Bai Yongnian's conditions remained unchanged, but he gained an additional obligation.

I need to work with other specialists to carry out the mission!

If this is not carried out, the Bureau of Investigation has the right to revoke Bai Yongnian's status.

Wei Junrui had been unhappy with Bai Yongnian before, so after receiving this mission, he went straight up the mountain to tell Bai Yongnian this 'good news'.

As soon as he saw Bai Yongnian's ugly expression, Bai Yongnian turned into a crow and disappeared.

"It's not that I turned into a crow, it's more like, it's like I'm wearing a cosplay outfit for a crow person."

After thinking for a moment, Wei Junrui could only give this answer.

"Are you sure it's a crow, and not something else?"

Bai Hongtao continued to ask.

"Hmm, it should be a crow."

Wei Junrui thought of the giant crow's beak that Bai Yongnian had when he transformed, and it should be right.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem with the crow?"

"What problem? This is a huge problem! You know about the fact that the underworld patched up the rift in Shouyi City, right?"

Bai Hongtao sat in the chair and looked at the empty seat, asking a question.

"I know, wasn't that done by the underworld?"

Wei Junrui asked in confusion, "This matter has already spread to all the polling bureaus."

"It was done by the underworld, but do you know who the underworld official was who was present at the time?"

"Walking in the underworld?"

"Well, just think of it as a representative of the underworld. It's... a crow."

"Uh."

Wei Junrui was astonished.

crow?

Is the person who walks the path to the underworld a crow?
Suddenly, Wei Junrui understood why the bureau chief had rushed over after he reported the matter.

"Crow, crow, could it be that Bai Yongnian is also connected to the underworld?"

"I don't know, but for a living person to just disappear right in front of you... it seems like only the underworld has that kind of ability."

If Bai Yongnian isn't from the underworld, that's fine, but if he is... isn't this just setting people up for trouble?

You're a member of the underworld, what need do you have for the special investigation bureau's authority? The authority of the underworld's messengers has been upgraded to the top team leader level!
You want to apply to me for the right to use Candlestone Town? Our Director General even applied to your Underworld!

Bai Hongtao couldn't help but pinch the bridge of his nose, feeling utterly exhausted.

However, if they really are underworld officials, it doesn't seem to be all bad. With underworld officials around, if anything happens in the future, they can communicate with Bai Yongnian.

Perhaps Bai Yongnian can turn the situation around?

If he can't, can he call someone?
With that in mind, Bai Hongtao immediately gave Wei Junrui and Jin Chao some instructions.

Wei Junrui is alright. He only recently fell out with Bai Yongnian and didn't do anything excessive. It's fine for him to apologize later.

But Jin Chao's expression was a bit off. Back then, in order to prevent Bai Yongnian from using the Candle Night Stone Town, he had kicked Bai Yongnian hard.

How can we reconcile this?

Just as the three were having different thoughts, a new figure suddenly appeared in the room.

Look at the person whose lower body was shrouded in black mist, whose upper body was covered in black feathers, and whose face wore a crow's beak mask.

Bai Hongtao and the other two stood up straight.
