Where are the monsters?

Hu Mazi felt that he shouldn't have entered this batch of wood carvings. It was the first time he had heard such a ridiculous reason for returning the goods after his family had been in business for so many years.

The old Wang in front of him kept saying, "Boss Hu, I know this is outrageous, but I promise I won't be dazzled. The landscape woodcarving I bought back is really problematic, and I feel very depressed when facing it. Let me put it this way, when I faced it, I hoped to face a relaxing natural landscape, but now I feel like I am standing in a gloomy forest when I face it. Boss Hu, I don’t want to retreat Money, I just want to exchange for another wood carving."

"Old Wang, I thought you bought it because you liked it when you came to the store to choose."

Even if Hu Mazi has a good temper, it is impossible to return or exchange the product just because it is offered.In the antique business, they have never said that they should return the goods. Even if they drilled their own eyes, their vision is not in place, so they can only admit the loss themselves.However, this batch of woodcarvings is not an antique, so there is room for negotiation.

Hu Mazi felt that he could accept many reasons. For example, he said it was a mahogany woodcarving, but he sold a fake one.Or there are obvious flaws in this work, such as a sudden break, which is better than the feeling of being confused.

Lao Wang also knew that what he said was a little too much, but he came to return and exchange the goods after serious consideration, "Boss Hu, I like woodcarving. If you refuse to return the goods, I can only throw away that small landscape screen and buy another one." I must say that the landscape screen is very well carved, so I want to send it back. Maybe I can't appreciate it, maybe someone else can appreciate it. Boss Hu, I am also your regular customer. What should I do? Give me a happy explanation."

Hu Mazi finally agreed to let Lao Wang exchange the goods. When he saw the small landscape screen that had been returned, he couldn't feel any oppressive feeling from it.Sure enough, it was Mr. Wang who was so emotional that he had such a weird idea, which made Mr. Wang say that he felt uncomfortable and had to throw it away.

Hu Mazi thought that the Tengu Shiri that caused a life, and the Shanshui screen that was rejected by the buyer and returned was just an example, but it was obviously not the case.These are the goods he bought from the same place after the Lantern Festival. Regardless of the size of the items, there are a total of 22 pieces, and three pieces have been sold, although two of them were sent back after going around.

The other item he bought was a bracelet. A month later, Hu Mazi learned that the buyer had been paralyzed in bed after a terrible car accident.His family members came to the door, and even though mynah brought people to maintain order this time, Hu Mazi broke out in a cold sweat at the momentum of rolling around in front of the shop.

Because someone said that the car accident was not an accident but man-made, it should not be said to be a ghost.After the buyer was rescued, he said that he saw the approaching vehicle and wanted to avoid it, but suddenly there was a strong pulling force on the bracelet, which forced him to stand in the middle of the road and was hit by a car.

Of course, there is no evidence for this kind of statement, but over and over again, Hu Mazi's heart is disturbed.The child is silent and strange, is it silent?Can't speak?Still dare not speak?

Hu Mazi took all the goods off the shelves, and he didn't dare to keep them in the store. He put them all in the warehouse, and decided to ask his previous family to find out.

"The shopkeeper said that Mr. Hu went to his previous family and found that the other party had died of a heart attack? So Mr. Hu was eager to find someone with some knowledge to help him take a look."

Mu Feng listened to shopkeeper Zhang talking about Hu's shop. During this time, everyone in Liulichang had heard about the strange happenings in Hu's shop, and everyone was talking about what happened to Hu Mazi.

Shopkeeper Zhang remembered that Mu Feng had a classmate, Yang Lianghe, who was said to be someone with real skills, better than the charlatans Hu Mazi found these days, so he wanted to ask Mu Feng to help him out.

"Lao Hu has been worried recently. If there is really a problem with this batch of goods, he himself has not encountered any accidents, but if there is no problem, everyone else who has been in contact with this batch of goods has encountered problems. I have already inquired clearly. , that Lao Wang who took the initiative to return the goods is the best, but he just got a bad cold. If you don’t check this matter, Lao Hu will be very worried, and he is afraid that he will be unlucky sometime. Xiaomu, can you invite your classmate Yang Help? I’m not asking for this. You’re not looking for someone who is proficient in appraising wood. Although Lao Hu doesn’t know how to carve, he has a lot of experience with wood. Maybe you can ask him for some housekeeping skills.”

Mu Feng understood the meaning of shopkeeper Zhang, but Yang Lianghe was not in good health during this time and couldn't help.After returning from the winter vacation, Yang Lianghe said that he took on a job during the Spring Festival, and at that time he suffered internal injuries and had to rest.One month after school started, Mu Feng saw that Yang Lianghe's face was always pale, and knew that the injury should be serious.

Mu Feng asked Yang Lianghe why he did it even though he knew it was dangerous. Yang Lianghe said that whether it is walking in the rivers and lakes or constantly improving himself, this road can never be smooth sailing. Suffering is also an opportunity, so he will not passively bear it. Will choose to take the initiative to contact.

Mu Feng thought of this and said, "Why don't I go and have a look for Mr. Hu, maybe I can find something."

ah?Shopkeeper Zhang didn't expect Mu Feng to say that. He vaguely guessed that Mu Feng had some extraordinary skills, but Mu Feng had never been in the mood to take the initiative.

"Xiaomu, are you sure? Will it be inconvenient?"

"It's nothing inconvenient." Since Mu Feng said that, he already had a plan in mind, "I'll tell the boss, I'll go after get off work today."

Seeing that Mu Feng was so sure, shopkeeper Zhang hesitated a little. When he came back from the Spring Festival this time, he had already seen that his boss's relationship with Mu Feng was not as simple as the relationship between superiors and subordinates, and he was already a very familiar friend.

Hu Mazi bumped into something, Ying Ni didn't ask about it, he just showed indifference.This allowed Mu Feng to take over, in case something bad happens...

Shopkeeper Zhang felt a little big when he thought of this, he was really afraid that Ying Ni would get angry.

Ying Ni upstairs heard Mu Feng's decision but was not as surprised as Shopkeeper Zhang thought, he looked at Mu Feng understandingly, "There's no need to wait for get off work, anyway, your account has been settled, I'll go with you now. "

Seeing Ying Ni's decisive support for him, Mu Feng smiled, "I think it's time to make some changes. If I have been waiting for opportunities to hit the door, I don't know when I will wait. The boss thinks so too. Bar?"

Of course, Ying Ni thought so too. He got part of the power in the ghost mirror and contacted the records in the ghost repair notes. If he didn't practice it, how would he know that it wouldn't work.

In the past, he just didn't escape, but now he has made some changes, and it's not bad to take the initiative to attack.

Ying Ni took the ghost mirror and put it in his bag. Although Di Jiang said it was best not to use it, he really wanted to know if the mirror would continue to absorb ghost energy after it was sealed, "That's the reason, we let's go."

Shopkeeper Zhang saw that Ying Ni came down from upstairs immediately and wanted to go with Mu Feng. Many thoughts flashed through his mind. In the end, he didn't show any thoughts, but just stayed and looked at the store with peace of mind.

**

Mu Feng and Ying Ni met Hu Mazi in that warehouse. Hu Mazi's eyes were a little blue, and he hadn't slept soundly for a long time.

Mu Feng didn't think there was anything wrong with Hu Mazi's aura, he wasn't entangled with Yin Qi, it was just that he was a little nervous due to thinking too much.

Hu Mazi asked a few people to look at the wood, and even invited a Buddha statue for his family, but he always felt that the haze brought by this thing has not dissipated.

"You two, the number of these woodcarvings is not large, but it cost me a fortune. I plan to burn them if it doesn't work, and I'll finish it all, so as not to be bought by others and cause trouble. The old man who supplied it Li and I have worked together for several years, so let’s go, this batch of things is really unknown!”

Hu Mazi is a conscientious businessman, he will not resell this wood carving because of a loss of money.If the quality of ordinary wood carvings is defective, it is all weird and incomprehensible things now.There is no impenetrable wall in the world. If something happens in the future, it will mean that the business will not be successful and the benevolence will be gone.

Looking at these wood carvings, Mu Feng couldn't sense any Yin energy on them, "Tell me about this wood carving? How much does Mr. Hu know?"

"These wood carvings are all gall wood products. You can see that their wood grains are very unique, such as grape grains, landscape grains, tiger skin grains, rabbit face grains, etc. Although they are not from the same kind of trees, some woods are not rare. , but it’s rare. When Lao Li sold it to me, he also said that it was all good stuff.”

Gall wood does not refer to a specific kind of tree, but refers to the kind of tree with scars.There are scabs on the waist or roots of the tree, called gall knots, which are actually a kind of diseased growth of trees.It is this natural morbidity that gives it an unrepeatable natural interest.When the gall wood is cut, it will show a texture different from that of ordinary trees, making it beautiful and beautiful.

"I'm currently investigating who are the sculptors of this batch of wood carvings, and where is the source of the wood. Lao Li usually receives the wood directly and asks someone to carve it, but this time he directly received the finished product. Their family is currently busy with Lao Li's work. Funeral, I can’t rush to ask further. It’s really strange to say that when I bought this batch of wood carvings, I thought it was very eye-catching. It’s just that those who had the accident felt that he was the only one when they came to the store to choose goods. Anyone who thinks of buying home will have a problem."

Ying Ni touched these wood carvings, he felt a breath rushing through his palm, and then he ran away immediately.I don't know if he feels this way alone, or if Mu Feng also has it?

The two didn't want Hu Mazi to promise anything, but asked Hu Mazi to figure out the real source of the wood carving, and they would immediately go to the source to find out.

Ying Ni asked Mu Feng, "You also touched the wood carving just now, did you feel anything?"

Mu Feng shook his head, "I don't think there is a problem with them, just like ordinary wood, does the boss feel differently?"

Ying Ni was sure that it was not an illusion, "I seem to feel a breath in the wood carving. When I touch it, it runs away. It seems that it has a feeling of fear."

"The wood carving was afraid, and then ran away with a breath?" Mu Feng was stunned by Ying Ni's words. If there was something wrong with the wood carving, it would have already killed several people, so why is it still afraid of humans?

Then Mu Feng couldn't continue reasoning, so could it be said that Ying Ni was about to leave the category of ordinary human beings? "Boss, you..."

Mu Feng suddenly didn't know what to say, tell Ying Ni not to think too much?Said he probably felt wrong?It's not appropriate to say that, people who can absorb the spirit of the ghost mirror are not normal.

Mu Feng quickly sorted out his thoughts and gave a deduction, "Since I can't feel it, but the boss can feel it, then it means that the woodcarving has a feeling for ghost energy. This is actually not surprising. Wood is a natural thing. I don't like ghosts. I wonder if there are spirits related to trees that are causing trouble?"

Ying Ni didn't seem to care about Mu Feng's pause for a moment, "The possibility of what you said is very high. I read it in my notes. Dryads don't like ghost repairs. One of them is the power of life, and the other is the power of death. It’s really not going to go together. We have to wait for news from Hu Mazi to determine the source of this batch of wood before we can be sure.”

Seeing that Ying Ni didn't care about it, Mu Feng also breathed a sigh of relief.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Ying Ni say, "Don't call me the boss, it's not in the store, we are partners now, you can just call me Ying Ni."
