Chapter 39: Put down your arms and talk

"Fang Ming, what are you doing now?"
"I informed Dazhu that he will come over today in the afternoon after resignation. I plan to wait for him at the store."
Hua Borong nodded his head, but Hua Mingming couldn't bear it anymore. He grew up in this antique city. The attractive antiques for others didn't interest him much.
Seeing Hua Mingming's sluggishness, Fang Ming smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Hua remembers the reason why I said earlier that he was so refreshing and did not bargain, so I promised the price of the boss Song."
"Of course I remember, Fang Ming, what do you mean?"
"Go, go to the second floor, in fact, I'm not particularly sure, but I won't be disappointed if I think about it."
Fang Ming walked towards the second floor with a mysterious smile on the face, which made Hua Mingming feel a bit uncomfortable with his lips whispered, whispering, "Something is mysterious, just say it."
"If you are impatient, go back to the store!"
Hua Borong glared at his son. Hua Mingming shrank and shut his mouth, letting him go back to the store, it would only be more boring. There were a few beautiful shopping guides in the store, but in the end they were not mastered by their own grandfather. The business was quit, and if he could, he didn't want to stay in the store.
On the second floor, Fang Ming stood in front of the piece of ebony that he had watched. Hua Borong was close to looking at this piece of ebony. He said after a short sound: "It is indeed Nanmu, which is also the best in ebony, but Although the value in the market is not low, it is not very high."
Hua Borong is mainly engaged in jewelry and jade business, but he has been operating in antique shops for a long time, and he has a little understanding of other things. He also knows the price of ebony.
"Uncle Hua, do you know another name for Ebony?" Fang Ming asked with a smile.
"Another name?" Hua Borong shook his head and said he hadn't heard of it.
"For ordinary people, ebony is just ebony and has the most collection value, but for people in our circle, ebony is a good thing, because ebony is also called Lingmu, and it is also the head of the three major Lingmu."
"Lingmu?" Both Hua Borong and Hua Mingming looked at Fang Ming with puzzled faces, waiting for Fang Ming's explanation.
"In the past, there were popular movies about ghosts and zombies in Hong Kong and Taiwan. The priests in the movies generally used a sword to catch ghosts, but this sword can't be built with any material, if it is made of wood If the material is used, it must be made of spirit wood."
Fang Ming was very patient and explained little by little: "The three great spirits are ebony, peach and thunderwood. There is a saying that says: peach is easy to find, ebony is hard to find, and Leimu is a godsend."
"There are a lot of rumors about Taomu. It was rumored that before the father chased the sun, he threw the wooden stick into a peach forest, so Taomu has the scorching sun to suppress the evil, which is why many Taoists have to engrave The reason for a mahogany sword."
"As for ebony, because it has been deposited in river water for thousands of years without rot, the absorption of the air of the earth itself has been psychic, and it is the best choice to restrain the evil and evil things. The effect should be on the peach wood."
"In the end, Lei Mu actually said that there is no specific type. Lei Mu, as the name implies, refers to a tree chopped by Tian Lei. Tian Lei is the nemesis of all ghosts, and this tree is chopped by Tian Lei to keep the sky. The power of thunder can surrender all spirits and spirits."
Fang Ming looked at Huabo Rong and his son who listened to Jinger, and continued: "Of course, the reason for Lei Mu Tianci is also here. Only trees that have been chopped by Tian Lei and have not died Counted as Lei Mu, it can be encountered but not sought."
"To say that, ordinary people can make a sword with peach wood or ebony to catch ghosts and demons?" Hua Mingming asked in a strange way, because he didn't believe in ghosts at all, even if he had previously warded off evil spirits. The scene really made him have small bumps in his heart.
"Ordinary mahogany and ebony have a little effect, but there is still a gap between the creation of the sword. The minimum to be able to make a sword is Yijiazi, which is more than sixty years of mahogany, and ebony is more than a thousand years."
Fang Ming glanced at Hua Mingming, he knew Hua Mingming's thoughts, and said: "But this is not enough, even if a child holds a sharp sword, do you think he can hurt an adult?"
Hua Borong, who was on the side, revealed his thoughts and said at this time: "Fang Ming, you mean to use this millennium ebony to carve into a sword."
"I don't need this for the time being, but Uncle Hua, this is not a millennium ebony. If I guess right, this ebony has at least tens of thousands of years of history."
"Thousand Years Ebony!"
Hua Borong's expression was slightly shocked. The millennium ebony is indeed very valuable but also has a price, but if it is 10,000 years of ebony, the price gap between the two is definitely not as simple as the gap in years.
If it is only millennium ebony, it is the best grade of nanmu, but such an estimated price in the market is only 200,000 yuan, but if it is 10,000 years of ebony, the price will definitely rise more than ten times, even if it is four or five million. Someone rushed to use it.
"Fang Ming, you are really addicted to picking up leaks, so you have nothing to say about leaking out evil spirits, but that old Song is not a fool. He must have bought this ebony for carbonization technology identification. If it can be put here for thousands of years?"
Hua Mingming's words were like the same pot of cold water that made Hua Borong's excitement cool down. He looked at Fang Ming with some worries and said: "What the boy said this time is still reasonable. Song Xiong must have done the year appraisal. of."
"Year appraisal, what appraisal method?" Fang Ming asked with a smile.
"The easiest way is to get a piece or a piece of wood chips from here for carbon 14C technical identification, because now the level of fraud is very high, and some objects in the store that the experts cannot see are also used for technical identification. Whether it is ancient or modern is immediately clear, and the error is extremely small."
Carbon 14C technology identification is understood by many antique shops, but in fact few antique shops will do it, one is because the cost is not low, and the other is because it needs to provide materials, it needs to be removed from the antiques and destroyed The complete appearance of the object.
But the wood is different. It is normal for a piece of wood to dig a bit of wood chips or cut such a piece that does not affect its value at all. It is also normal for the price of two or three hundred thousand ebony songxiong to be used for technical identification.
"Yeah, boss Song took wood veneer or sawdust for carbonation identification, but if there is a lot in this wood."
Fang Ming smiled slightly, and then turned his eyes on the second floor and finally walked to the table on the side, where there were some carving tools and a hatchet.
Picking up the hatchet, Hua Mingming watched Fang Ming walking towards him and said quickly: "Fang Ming, don't be annoyed when I tell the truth. Let's put down our weapons and we can talk."
Fang Ming glanced away at Hua Mingming. He chose to ignore this live treasure and went directly to Ebony with a hatchet. Then, in the exclaimation of Hua Borong and Hua Mingming, he lifted up and hacked towards Ebony.
