When I saw the old man asking, I politely replied:
"We are here from Fenghuangshan Funeral Home to exchange for the peach wood sword."
"Yes, yes, it's for the mahogany sword."
Huang Mao echoed next to him and touched the box.
The uncle held up an oil lamp and shined a light on our faces:
"Fenghuang Mountain, why haven't I seen you two before? Are you new here?"
"Yes, we just joined the company."
"Come in! Remember to close the door."
After the uncle finished speaking, he slowly turned around and led us into the house.
Huang Mao and I followed behind. As soon as we entered the house, we felt that the room was extremely cold and filled with the smell of sawdust.
And there are many wood carvings in this house.
There are chickens, puppies, etc., and there are some unfinished human-shaped wood carvings at the end. Only the body is carved, but the head is not carved.
In addition to these, I also found a large bowl of boiled and peeled eggs on the table not far away, still steaming hot.
The uncle walked forward and said:
"Peach wood weapons, I have a lot of them here, here..."
The uncle's voice was hoarse. He walked to a nearby room with an oil lamp and gently opened a door.
Huang Mao and I slowly followed in.
When he arrived at the house, the old man walked up to a yellow cloth and pulled it with his hand.
There was a "crash" sound, revealing a wall of peach wood products.
There are not only mahogany swords, but also knives, axes, forks, etc.
They are all hung on the wall, big and small, in different styles.
The artifacts here are all very well made and very delicate.
"Wow! These weapons are so well made. Brother Xu, look at the carving, it's amazing."
Huang Mao's eyes widened when he saw it.
When the uncle heard the compliment, he laughed unconsciously:
"Hahaha! This is what I do. How can I do it without any skills?
Look at this Qinglong Yanyue Knife. It was made of peach wood for eight years.
The dragon pattern was all carved on by me bit by bit, without any flaws.
This double phoenix hook is also the best in our library, and it is also excellent for exorcising evil spirits in the house..."
The uncle was very proud and chose several items to introduce to us.
Huang Mao and I were both dazzled by it.
"Take a look and see if there's anything you like. If you do, take it and we'll discuss the price."
After the uncle finished speaking, he was already sitting at the small table next to him.
He took out the pipe he had on his waist and started smoking a dry pipe by himself.
"Brother Xu, there are so many good things, which one should you choose?"
"I'll take a look again!"
Since we are here to choose a magic weapon, we naturally have to choose the right one.
The Qinglong Yanyue Sword and Phoenix Double Hook that the uncle introduced before look very good, but I don’t know how to use them.
After picking around, I landed on a black broad sword in the corner.
The broad sword can be as wide as a palm and more than one meter long, with star patterns engraved on its body.
I took it off, held it in my hand and used it, and it felt quite suitable.
Compared with the conventional mahogany sword, this wider mahogany sword has a more suitable weight and feels more comfortable in the hand.
As for why the wood is black, I guess the wood may be lightning strike wood or ebony wood, but I feel the probability of lightning strike wood is greater.
After all, I have never heard of anyone using black rosewood to make wooden swords, and bracelets are very common.
The yellow hair on the other side has also been picked now.
It was a long spear. He gestured twice with it in his hand and asked me:
"Brother Xu, look at how I use this spear. Does it look like Nezha, picking up the dragon's sinews?"
When I looked at Huang Mao's two strokes, I didn't see how he looked like Nezha. He looked more like a fool.
But it’s not easy to hit him:
"Good."
"Hehehe, I also think it's a good idea to pick a shrimp line."
It all depends on how you feel. If Huang Mao likes it very much, then that’s no problem.
As long as it can suppress evil and eliminate evil, it doesn't really matter what type of magic weapon is used.
The two of us made our selections and came directly to the table:
"Uncle, we have chosen. This is what we will exchange for."
While talking, I winked at Huang Mao.
Huang Mao quickly placed the box he brought on the table.
The old man took two puffs of cigarette and pulled off the charm on the box with one hand.
At this time, Huang Mao and I also widened our eyes.
I also want to see what "cut tobacco" needs to be pressed with yellow symbols.
"Click", the box opens.
Looking inside, Huang Mao and I were stunned for a moment, with expressions of surprise on our faces.
I saw what kind of tobacco was contained in the wooden box.
It's clearly just a box of human hair.
Moreover, the color and length of the hair are different, long, short, red, yellow, white, and even curly...
This box looks like it contains a lot of people's hair.
There's even a bunch of human fingernails at the bottom.
There was also a strange smell coming out of it, and Huang Mao and I were shocked.
Unexpectedly, the so-called "cut tobacco" Uncle Liu gave us turned out to be human hair and human nails.
The old man grabbed a handful and squeezed it in his hand.
He picked out a strand of black curly hair, shook his head slightly and said:
"I can't get used to this tobacco from Africa. The quality of these nails is average."
After saying that, he picked out a ball of curly hair from the box and placed it on the table.
Huang Mao and I were confused. We had seen people smoking and smoking paper, but we had never seen anyone smoking hair.
This old man actually has such a quirk.
Before either of us could react, the old man raised his head and looked at us with a strange smile:
"What you two picked are all good products from my store.
Now there is less tobacco and the quality of nails is poor.
For the sake of long-term cooperation with your museum.
In this way, just use what you have on your body!"
