303 Past Glory
At the entrance of the ancestral hall, several old men lined up in two, blocking the road into the door tightly.
They wore Chinese caftan and their hair was neatly combed, some of them with hair oil. But their hands stretched out their sleeves, but they could clearly see the traces of years of workmanship.
On the other side, Lu Lihai was dressed in a dusty construction site suit, holding a hard hat in his hand, and smiled wryly.
"You can take out the old red sandalwood board treasured by Bazhen Zhai to do favors, and you want to bring outsiders into the ancestral hall to see the Zongzheng volume? That is impossible!" One of the old men frowned and looked resolute.
"That's not an outsider...... Lu Lihai grabbed the helmet and wanted to buckle it on his head, but finally put it down, "According to the current news, Xu Wen is good at eighteen tricks and knows how to run water, and I have also seen him use the eight methods of tenon inspection." The two things in front of me here are things that have been listed in the Zongzheng scroll, but are now lost. There are many indications to prove that his mentorship is inextricably linked with our class, and he has retained many more skills than ours. ”
His tone was soft, but firm. In the end, he looked up at these old men and said, "Fifth Uncle, please ask him to distinguish the authentic volume, it's not that he takes advantage of us, it's us who take advantage of him!"
"Joke!" Lu Wu sneered.
"San, you're not quite right. The history of our class is clear, from ancient times to the present, it has been a monolith, and it has never been separated. You said that his teacher was divided from the class, and I asked you what year, month, and when you were separated?" asked another old man next to Lu Wu.
He looked far less serious than Lu Wu, but the words he said were to the point, pointing to the biggest doubt in the hearts of the old men.
"I've also read through the genealogy of the Banmen, to be honest...... I don't know. But the eighteen coincidences are true, the flowing water surface is also true, and I have seen the eight methods of tenon and tenon inspection with my own eyes, and there can be no fake! I even think that he has learned the complete Zongzheng scroll!" Lu Lihai said categorically.
There was a commotion among the old men, and then, an old man standing at the far corner of the line spoke softly: "How old is this little man?"
"I read his profile before he quit his job, and he just turned twenty-five. Lu Lihai said.
"Twenty-five, one year younger than Xiaoyuan. With Xiaoyuan's talent and dedication to acting, he has not yet reached the level of formal study of Zongzheng Volume. According to your words, this young man was still distracted and ran other businesses before, are you sure, does he really master the complete Zongzheng Scroll?" The old man was very organized, and his angle was tricky, and he immediately stopped Lu Lihai.
"Xiaoyuan's talent is not uncommon in the world...... Lu Lihai muttered.
"Suppose this person learns about the contents of some of the canons of the sect from somewhere, and exposes them a little vaguely and half-covered, so as to deceive the opportunity to read through the canons of the sect...... Is this kind of conspiracy also possible? It is not difficult to learn the eight methods of testing tenons and tenons, and there are only a few descriptions of the eighteen tricks and the surface of the flowing water, which no one has ever seen. In recent years, how many people have wanted to seek the Zongzheng Volume, and as the contemporary master of this sect, you should know best, right?"
The old man was still soft-spoken, Lu Wu raised his voice, and said angrily: "There are many young people who covet our class, have you forgotten the glory of the class!"
Lu Lihai was silent. His hands gripped the hard hat and tossed and turned with the buckle on it, almost tearing the plastic buckle off.
Finally, he looked up, shook his head very firmly, and said, "I'm still sticking to what I'm doing." ”
He stretched out two fingers, his voice was clear, and his tone was sonorous: "First of all, I have been dealing with Xiao Xu for nearly a year, and I know him very well. He's not that kind of person. ”
He bent down a finger and continued, "Second, this time is different from the past, the Banmen used to be infinitely glorious, but now, except for a few in the industry, who else knows about us? If it weren't for a little help this time, the project of the Escape Collection would have to be planted directly! As far as I know, those few are also changing, why can we just stop where we are? Whether it's true or not, I'm willing to take this risk!"
Lu Lihai stopped talking to them, put his helmet on his head, and pulled open his fifth uncle in front of him to enter the door of the ancestral hall.
The old men were shocked by his words, Lu Wu subconsciously let go, seeing that his figure was about to disappear into the dim light and cigarettes of the ancestral hall, the old man who had asked the inheritance of the sect suddenly stepped forward and said loudly: "No, the Zongzheng scroll is the treasure of this sect, and even the disciples in the sect cannot easily read it directly." It's not impossible for you to correct this question, but let's identify him first!"
Lu Lihai's footsteps stopped, and he stood in the darkness and smoke, not moving for a while.
After a moment, he turned his head and asked the elders, who seemed to be still stuck in the past, as if he were a little tired, "I asked him to help, what qualifications do we have to distinguish him?"
His orange-yellow hard hat was particularly bright in the obscured light, and the hard hat shook a little before continuing forward. Lu Lihai walked to the back of the incense case, pressed the mechanism, and a slight sound sounded, and a crack opened in the ground, revealing the wooden box inside.
Lu Lihai took out the wooden box and put it on the table.
Behind him, the elders at the door glanced at each other and turned to leave.
About an hour later, a small white van pulled up on the shores of Taihu Lake.
"Wait?" Lu Yuan didn't get out of the car, but turned his head and asked Xu Qian.
"Yes, I'll see you here. Xu Wen pressed down the window, and the cool lake breeze swept in from the window, rolling in the car, bringing the fragrance of lotus flowers.
He squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, the lotus leaves on the lake, the lotus flowers were pink and white, and the sky was reflecting the sun.
It reminded him of what had happened before. It's two worlds, but they're connected as if they happened not so long ago.
"Where is the Banmen parcel, next to the lake or on the lake?" asked Xu.
"There is an island on the lake with a bridge to pass through. Lu Yuan said, pointing casually.
Xu Wen looked in the direction of his finger, and the shadow was enough to see the island shadow, so that he could see it from a distance, much more than Poria Island.
"The bridge was built by us, all wooden, hundreds of years old, you can go back and see it. Lu Yuan said. He said it very ordinarily, but when he said the words "hundreds of years", he naturally carried a sense of pride.
"Okay. Xu Wen was also interested.
At this moment, a car came from afar, which was also a Jinbei bread, similar to Lu Yuan's.
Pickup trucks are restricted in the city, and vans are common trucks.
The golden cup came over and stopped directly in front of them, Baili Qi stretched out his head, said hello to Xu Wen, and asked in a loud voice: "Everything is loaded, where are you going?"
"Lead the way. Xu Wen said to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan looked at Baili Qi with a confused look in his eyes.
"'Positive' is the standard, I can discern whether a technology can be used normally, but the corresponding technical standard has to be determined by them. Xu Wen smiled and patted Lu Yuan's shoulder, "Trust me, no problem." ”
The wind blew across the lake, blowing a little silver light, Xu Wen looked at the shadow of the island, and there seemed to be waves in his eyes.
