"But... Master, there are many people dead in this room, which is probably very unlucky. Are you sure you want to open the door?"

A Wu was a little uneasy.

"You don't have to worry about these things, you just need to open the door."

Lu Zhe said lightly, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, since you are a clerk here, you should have some impression of the things in this pawn shop..."

While opening the door carefully, A Wu was stunned when he heard this, and nodded: "The villain has sorted out all the things in the warehouse, because the shopkeeper asked us to take stock of them every few days so that we would not be stolen without knowing it."

"Then is there a wood carving in this warehouse? It's about the size of a palm?"

Based on the words of the female ghost, Lu Zhe tried to roughly describe the image of the wood carving.

“Wood carving?”

A Wu scratched his hair and thought about it carefully: "Young Master, there are many wood carvings in our warehouse. I don't know which one you want. Why not take you to have a look..."

As he was talking, with a "clang" sound, the door lock was opened, and the seal attached to it was torn in half, half of which remained on the edge of the door, and the other half fell down.

After the door opened, dust inside also poured out. Under the light, particles of dust were flying freely, which was unexpectedly quite choking, as if it had been sealed for many years!

A Wu hurriedly helped him dust the dust in front of him and said embarrassedly: "Young master, don't be surprised. There are many old items collected from outside the countryside. Some of them are dirty and not washed clean, so there are more dust..."

"It's okay..."

Lu Zhe waved his hand, his eyes swept over the scene inside the house.

In addition to the counter, there are several cabinets containing many miscellaneous items by the wall, but most of them are just ordinary things, such as rolled up calligraphy and paintings, fish and white porcelain bowls, etc. There is not much dust accumulated on them, and it seems that they are usually well-managed.

When I stepped into this room on the first day of the New Year, I felt a cold feeling until the door opened and the sun shone in, adding a bit of long-lost warmth to the place.

A Wu signaled on the side: "Young Master, go here, the warehouse is here..."

He walked around the back of the counter, took out the key and opened the door leading to the back.

Suddenly, the air that had not been circulated for a long time came out of a dusty aura that seemed to have been deposited for a long time, mixed with some rotten smell, and it was transmitted into the nose along the air flowing outward. This smell was really not very pleasant.

Lu Zhe covered his nose slightly and followed A Wu into the warehouse.

"Sher..."

On the wall, a light sound of candle oil ignited in this confined environment.

The dim light spread out instantly, illuminating the room.

This warehouse was transformed from a room behind the pawn shop outside. It is quite large in size. There are seven or eight shelves in a row, each shelves are filled with pawn items of large and small, which are orderly and convenient to search.

There are also many small objects placed in the corner, and those seem a bit messy.

A Wu explained: "Those things that have passed the time and no one has come to redeem them. They are not too valuable, so they are left there first and then deal with them together every once in a while."

Lu Zhe nodded, as if his eyes were carefully looking at the things here casually, but in fact he had quietly released the ghost bird in his sleeve and let it fly around in the room, looking for clues to the wood carving.

With the sensitivity of his ghost body to Yin Qi, he always needs to find it faster than he does.

On this side, A Wu was also carefully searching for these pawn items and finding everything that meets Lu Zhe's requirements.

There are many things like wood carvings. If craftsmen are skilled, they will naturally be easily loved by the rich. However, if they fall into the eyes of people who are ignorant of goods, they will only be a uniquely-looking broken wood at most.

So for those who are short of money, it is up to the pawnshop to decide how much these are worth.

In just this moment, A Wu had found several wood carvings.

Some of the tops have been worn a little, obviously for some years.

There are all kinds of styles, including those who are kind-eyed and old birthday stars, those who are peeing, and some animals, etc.

There are also a few that are made of truly natural tree roots. These can also be regarded as top-notch treasures. They are of great value, so they are placed aside.

But after taking a few glances, Lu Zhe found that it was not what he was looking for.

A Wu couldn't figure out what he wanted, but since he had the request, he had to continue searching one by one.

Fortunately, the ghost bird that had been searching in the room for a long time finally followed the abnormal yin energy that filled the air, flapping its wings and hovering over the pile of debris in the corner, and occasionally sent him some exciting messages.

Lu Zhe immediately walked over, searched for the pile of debris, and finally found the wood carving that the ghost bird pointed to below.

I picked it up and took it in my hand and looked it carefully. I could see that it was a statue of Maitreya Buddha about the size of a fist.

I saw that the texture was carved in detail, and every stroke was very vivid, especially the expression of Maitreya Buddha, which was vivid, as if he was a real villain hidden inside.

What is strange is that if such a treasure is really like this, even a person with a clumsy eye can see that it is of great value. How could it be placed in these miscellaneous things so casually?

He soon discovered the real reason.

This thing has not been completed yet!

He turned over and took a look and realized that the statue of Maitreya Buddha was only carved half of his body, and the rest was hidden in the wood and was beyond the sight. Moreover, except for the head, the more the carved traces became more obvious, and even the part of the stomach was clear, and it was an unfinished item!

It was as if someone had forcibly snatched it from the craftsman halfway, causing the work of art that should have been valuable to come to an abrupt end and had to stay in this rough state.

But it was this thing that was emitting waves of yin energy, which made the entire warehouse feel a little chilly, and it seemed like a cellar without seeing the sun outside.

"Is there a baby ghost hidden in it?"

Lu Zhe simply touched it twice, but there was no other special feeling except for the rough texture of the wood.
Chapter completed!
