Zhao Xu took a look at the clay figurines in the display cabinet. They were all lifelike.

Asked the shop owner: "Boss, are these all clay figurines you made?"

"Yes!" the old man said with a smile: "There are not many inherited crafts like mine nowadays. I am already quite old, and I don't know how long I can live. Therefore, you are lucky to be able to buy one."

Xu Lingzhu also believes that these clay figurines are very lifelike.

However, each clay figurine costs a lot of money, with the lowest price being more than 100 yuan and the highest price being close to 3,000 yuan.

In Zhao Xu’s opinion, it is definitely worth the money!

This is a skill that has been passed down.

As the shop owner said, craftsmen who know this kind of handmade clay sculpture are becoming increasingly rare.

Zhao Xu is particularly interested in some things that have been passed down.

Asked the shop owner: "Boss, can you mold our clay figures?"

"Of course! However, the cost will definitely be higher."

"How much does one cost?"

"One thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight dollars."

"I'll give you a photo. Can you mold it too?"

"Can!"

"How long does it take to mold one?" Zhao Xu asked.

"It'll take about ten minutes! But to take shape, you need to pick it up tomorrow."

Zhao Xu thought for a while and said, "Okay! Then you can help us shape a few."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the voice of Tianshan Sect Ling Hao coming over.

"Hey! President Zhao, we are really destined."

Ling Hao walked in with a dozen disciples from the Tianshan Sect.

The shop is not big to begin with, but when people from the Tianshan Sect arrived, it immediately seemed crowded.

The shop owner frowned and said, "Everyone, are you here to buy clay figurines too?"

"Why, why don't you come in and take a look at it?"

"I still want to do business, but there are so many of you blocking me here, how can I do business?"

"Old man, if you don't drink the toast, you'll have to drink wine as a penalty!" Ling Hao threatened.

Ling Hao is also on the list of ten people who want to go abroad to perform missions.

Zhao Xu did not want to conflict with Ling Hao of the Tianshan Sect during the mission.

Seeing Ling Hao's arrogant look, I really can't stand it.

He was about to say something to teach Ling Hao a lesson.

The old man said angrily: "It's a small business, my shop doesn't welcome troublemakers."

As he spoke, he waved his sleeves, and a strong wind blew towards the disciples of the Tianshan Sect.

For a moment, the disciples of Tianshan Sect were staggered by the strong wind swung by the old man.

Zhao Xu and Xu Lingzhu looked shocked when they saw the old man's exposed hand.

The two of them actually made a mistake. They didn't expect that the old man was actually a practicing practitioner.

Ling Hao of the Tianshan Sect, when he saw the old man's display of kung fu, he knew that the old man's cultivation level was above his own.

He snorted heavily and said, "I didn't expect that there are masters hidden in such a small place."

As the saying goes, the small hermit hides in the wild; the middle hermit hides in the court; the great hermit hides in the city!

Judging from Xu Lingzhu's martial arts skills, one cannot even estimate what kind of martial arts skills the old man has.

Ling Hao glared at Zhao Xu and said coldly: "President Zhao, we will sort out our affairs later."

After saying that, he gave the old man a fierce look and left with the disciples of the Tianshan Sect.

Zhao Xu raised his hands and said to the old man: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't expect that the boss is a master who hides his secrets."

The old man had an indifferent expression and said: "What's wrong with being a master? I'm already a long time old and have already faded out of the world. But you two kids, with such cultivation at such a young age, really have a limitless future."

.”

"Miss, may I ask what sect you are from?"

"I'm sorry, my master won't let me mention the sect's affairs. Please forgive me, senior."

The old man nodded and said to Zhao Xu: "President Zhao, how many clay figurines do you want to make?"

"You know me?" Zhao Xu was surprised when he heard this.

The old man smiled slightly and said: "There are a lot of reports about you in the media. Even if I don't want to know, there is really a lot of news about you."

Zhao Xu took out his wallet and took out a family photo.

He handed it to the old man and said: "Boss, help me shape a family portrait!"

"Besides, you can help this young lady get one too."

"Aren't you a couple?" the old man said suddenly.

One sentence made Zhao Xu and Xu Lingzhu embarrassed each other on the spot.

Zhao Xu and Xu Lingzhu looked at each other and replied at the same time: "No!"

The old man sighed and said: "What a pity! What a pity! These two talented men and beautiful women are truly a match made in heaven, a pair created by earth."

Zhao Xu thought to himself: "You old man talks too much!"

In a place like Yangcheng, it is really rare to meet a master of the old man's level.

"Boss, how much do you think it costs in total?" Zhao Xu changed the subject and asked.

The old man said: "President Zhao, you have a lot of connections. Can I ask you to do something? If you agree, I will help you shape clay figures for free."

Zhao Xu frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Can you help me find someone?"

"Who?"

"Her name is Qiao Gu, and she is my adopted daughter. But her spirit has been good and bad, and she was lost ten years ago."

"Ten years?"

"Yes!" The old man sighed and said, "She is the only relative I have in this world. So, if you are willing to help me find Qiaogu, no matter whether I can find her or not, I will not charge you a penny."

Zhao Xu is not short of the eighteen thousand yuan.

However, seeing that the old man was very skilled in martial arts, he wanted to get closer to him.

He nodded and said, "Okay! Wait until I have someone send you a missing person notice and see if you can find him."

The old man was overjoyed when he heard this and said to Zhao Xu: "Then wait a moment, I will go get Qiaogu's photo."

After saying that, he turned around and entered the inner hall.

Soon, he walked out with Qiaogu's photo and handed it to Zhao Xu.

Said: "This is Qiaogu's photo. It's been ten years and I still don't know whether she is alive or dead."

Zhao Xu took a look and saw that Qiao Gu in the photo looked very delicate.

It's hard to believe that Qiao Gu is mentally deficient.

After receiving Qiaogu's photo, he said to the old man: "Boss, don't worry! Leave the matter of searching for the person to me."

The old man wrote a note and said to Zhao Xu: "Maybe my shop will be closed soon. If you find Qiao Gu, you can come to this place to find me."

"Remember, it's best not to let other people know about this place." The old man warned Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu glanced at the address on the note, nodded and said, "Okay!"

The old man first made a clay mold for Zhao Xu, and then made a clay mold for Xu Lingzhu.

Zhao Xu and Xu Lingzhu saw that the old man had sculpted their own shapes, which were very vivid.

Both of them were very satisfied with the old man's masterpiece.

The old man then made a family portrait for Zhao Xu. He made an agreement with Zhao Xu to pick it up at the store at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

Zhao Xu then left with Xu Lingzhu.
