Chapter 121: The mysterious disappearance of Old Man Qiao
The size of the space inside is not as big as the old man's shop, and it is a little smaller, but they don't feel crowded, probably because there are few items inside. [Ran^Text^Library] []W.Xs520.
After entering, the old man said, "Wait here first, and I'll go and call that friend." After speaking, he walked inside, looking inside, it was also a wooden door, exactly the same as the one in the old man's shop, the difference was that the direction of the door had changed, the old man Qiao was facing north, and the door was facing south, and there was nothing unusual about the others.
In a blink of an eye, the old man Qiao disappeared, leaving only the few of them wandering around the store, and the number started to complain at this time, "Patriarch, do you think this old man Qiao is credible, why do I think he is blinding us?" "Since he entered the door, the old man didn't say much, the mystery really aroused suspicion. The fat man doesn't know much about this business, "I think this is the rule of their business, it may be a bit troublesome to say that this rule is a little troublesome." ”
After thinking about it, he said, "Maybe," in fact, his answer was a little reluctant. Chen Xicai didn't care so much, he was already attracted by the carvings on the stone wall. These carvings are placed on the shelf on the stone wall on the right, "Why are they all masks?" Chen Xie wondered.
They also looked over and were stunned for a moment. In particular, the trumpet's eyes were about to pop out, and he stammered when he spoke, "This--mask-what-is-animal's face-" The fat man disagreed, "What's so strange about this, isn't it a mask, it's normal to be an animal." "But these masks are all carved out of wood, and what is even more surprising is that the eyes and other places on the masks are not empty, which is also very strange," Chen Xie said.
It's really weird that the facial features of the mask are not empty, and generally speaking, the eyes of the mask are at least empty, so do you have to see clearly after putting on a mask? On the contrary, it is really not clear why it is carved like this, and this mask is carved very similar to an animal, and when you look closely, because it is from a high place, they can't see how finely carved the mask is, in short, from the outside, it is extremely scary and realistic.
"Patriarch, have you noticed that the carvings of these masks feel very similar to the cat heads we stolen," the masked man reminded. Chen Xie also thought about it carefully, not to mention, it was really a little similar.
However, if you think about it, it's not right, their cat heads were found in ancient tombs, and the ones here are obviously hand-carved, they are works of art, and these works of art and cultural relics are incomparable, they are two completely different things.
These carvings can only boast that the carving is very exquisite, and nothing else can be said.
At this time, the man with glasses sneered, "This is complete," "Ah-" I didn't understand. The man with glasses said, "If you want to say that this carving is a skill, then the choice of wood must be the most important." Chen Xie asked, "Could it be that the carving is secondary, and the most important thing is the variety of wood?" ”
The man in glasses nodded and smiled, "You can, that's right!" It is the variety of wood, this carving is all fooling people, as far as our current people can also carve good works, but the difficulty is the variety of wood. The wood used for those masks should be walnut, the disadvantage is that it is not easy to keep for a long time, if soaked in water, over time, the wood will rot and deform, and it is easy to be bitten by insects. As for the wood used for the cat head in our hands, it is very special, and it is very heavy, extremely hard, and the whole body is black, some people will say that it is black wood, but it is not, not surprisingly, this wood has been around for at least thousands of years. ”
The horn exclaimed, "It's so amazing, that means this cat head is a fetish." The fat man said, "Well, I just can't figure out what kind of wood the cat's head is." ”
At this time, the patriarch spoke, "It may be a clam wood, this kind of tree is very hard, it is not perishable when soaked in water, and it can even sink for a thousand years. The man with glasses nodded frequently, "This is possible, this kind of tree is very rare, he grows in the forests of Guangxi and southern Yunnan, even if he goes, it is not easy to find, to say that this clam is powerful, it grows very tall, and it is very hard, so hard that it can't be driven in with nails, and bullets can't get in, it's comparable to a tank." And he is not perishable when soaked in water for a long time, even up to a thousand years. It grows very slowly, has a very detailed distribution of textures, and has a high tenacity. ”
I see, if you want to say that the wood is rotten, there are generally two kinds, one is the insect bite, and the other is rotten in the water. Could it be that what they stole was seafood? Chen Xie guessed in his heart.
"If that is the case, is it not from the sea that we have stolen?" The fat man questioned. The man with glasses thought for a while, then said, "Most likely, it should be in the ocean." "Ahh The horn was stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Since it is seafood, it will definitely go to sea this time.
"Damn, this old man, why haven't you come yet, it's been a while," the horn couldn't bear it anymore at this time, and shouted. It's been a bit long, and they have been chatting for a while, and after the old man entered the door, he never came out again.
Chen Xie guessed, "Shouldn't it, something happened to the old man," the number was stunned, "No," of course he didn't believe it, this old man would have an accident, even if there was movement, they could hear the sound, at least there was a shouting or something, now it's really a bit weird, it's been so long, and there has been no movement, it seems that something must have happened."
The man with glasses had already sensed that something was wrong, "Let's see, something might have happened," and after saying that, he walked into the wooden house, and came to the wooden house, which was empty, and there was not even a shadow. They wondered, why was Old Man Qiao gone, they also looked elsewhere, but they didn't find anything, it can be said that the space inside is a closed space, it is impossible to get out, and the only passage is the wooden door.
The old man disappeared mysteriously, which was really unexpected, they remembered very well that the old man did enter the wooden door, and after that, they didn't know what happened.
The horn was puzzled, "This old man shouldn't take advantage of our chat to go out and take another shortcut," the man with glasses retorted directly, "It's impossible, I've been staring, I've never seen him go out of this wooden door." "That's weird, since he didn't go out, why did he disappear mysteriously," the number was puzzled, completely nonsensical.
The fat man pondered, "In my opinion, this enclosed space may still have a mouth," "I agree with the fat man's statement," Chen Xie said. They also nodded, feeling that this enclosed space was very unusual
