After a while, Zhou Lao woke up from his breakthrough, and when he saw Lin Yue's carved works, the joy in his eyes slowly turned into a thick doubt.

Seeing the carving in the morning, no one doubted whether Lin Yue could finish carving the ** Fu Lu Shou Diagram in one day, and they were very firm in their belief that Lin Yue would be able to complete it.

At eleven o'clock, the four of them went to lunch together, and the meal was invited by Zhou Lao, on the one hand, to celebrate his breakthrough, and on the other hand, to thank Lin Yue.

During the meal, Zhou Lao wanted to speak and stopped, and finally the question in his heart was still not asked.

During the meal, the three of them couldn't help but be surprised when they saw Lin Yue eating with his left hand, and after asking, they learned that Lin Yue's current right hand couldn't be lifted at all. After knowing this situation, Zhou Lao suddenly felt embarrassed, because he had grabbed Lin Yue's right hand in the morning, so he apologized again. A respected elder wanted a junior to apologize and thank him three times and twice, and it would definitely shock many people's glasses when it was passed out, but this thing really happened, which also shows from the other side that Zhou Lao didn't regard Lin Yue as a junior at all, and a junior used such a strong strength, so wouldn't he, an elder, be even more embarrassed.

The meal was finished in more than an hour, and in the afternoon, Lin Yue planned to start carving at three o'clock, during which was the rest time he gave himself, and he was confident that he would recover his arm during this time.

The resting place was at Zhou Lao's house, and as soon as Lin Yue lay down on the bed, he heard a knock on the door outside.

"Please come in!"

Lin Yue hurriedly stood up from the bed, and it was Zhou Lao who came in.

"Old Zhou, do you have anything?"

Lin Yue and his group asked, just after saying hello and going upstairs to rest, why did they suddenly come again.

Zhou Lao looked at Lin Yue, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally under Lin Yue's further inquiry, he still spoke: "Xiao Yue, let me ask you something." ”

You say. ”

Lin Yue said and moved a chair for Zhou Lao, and the two sat down to talk.

"Who did you learn your ancient carving from?"

After Zhou Lao asked, his eyes were fixed on Lin Yue, intending not to miss any of Lin Yue's expressions.

"My master often gave me a book when he accepted me as an apprentice, and then asked me to follow the above exercises, Old Zhou, why are you asking this?"

Lin Yue asked suspiciously, there was no secret about how he learned ancient carving, there was nothing to hide, so he said it directly.

However, Zhou Lao's words almost made Lin Yue jump up from the chair in shock.

"Is that book called 'The Engraved Scriptures'?"

"What?!"

Lin Yue was shocked by Zhou Lao in front of him, his face was full of horror, the matter of "Engraved Scripture" was a secret of their lineage, outsiders couldn't know it at all, and they had never mentioned it to the outside, how did Zhou Lao know?

Could it be that Zhou Lao is also a person of our lineage?

Impossible!

Although his own vein is not a single transmission, but the "Carved Scripture" is definitely a single transmission, except for the closed disciples who pass on the mantle, the other disciples do not know the existence of the "Engraved Scripture" at all, even if Zhou Lao was once the predecessor of his own lineage, it is impossible to know the existence of the "Engraved Scripture".

How did Zhou always know about the "Carved Scripture" that week?

Lin Yue's brows suddenly furrowed tightly, he felt that some things might not be as simple as he thought, was it really a single transmission?

For a while, he was a little unclear.

Just when he wanted to ask Zhou Lao how he knew the "Engraved Scripture", Zhou Lao had already spoken.

Seeing Lin Yue's expression, Zhou Lao immediately understood that he had guessed correctly, so he asked, "Did your master say where the copy of the "Engraved Sutra" he gave you came from?"

Where did it come from?

Lin Yue was even more puzzled, this is a single line, where else did it come from?

No, Zhou Lao doesn't know where he came from, which means that he is not a person from his own lineage, otherwise he would not know!

Lin Yue was going to ask carefully, he had too many doubts in his heart now.

"It was handed down by the ancestors, and there was a book since the Han Dynasty, and it has been passed down to the present, during which each generation will copy a copy by hand to avoid losing ......"

Lin Yue told everything he saw in the book and what his master said, and after he finished speaking, he quietly watched Zhou Lao's reaction.

"Handed down?"

Old Zhou's brows furrowed deeply, and then he asked, "Is the one you passed on the whole book a full book?"

"It's not. ”

Lin Yue shook his head and said: "At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the second half of the book was lost, and now only the first half is left. ”

"The second half?"

Hearing this, a hint of realization suddenly flashed in Zhou Lao's eyes, and he asked again: "Your current realm should be the god on the "Carved Scripture", right?"

Hearing this, Lin Yue was even more shocked, but then relieved, since Zhou Lao can know the carved scriptures, he should also know the realm division in the carved scriptures.

"Old Zhou, how did you know about the "Engraved Scriptures"? and where did you see the book "Engraved Classics"?"

Lin Yue asked two questions in a row, and after asking, he thought of the other half of the "Carved Sutra" found in the ruins that day, there would be no connection between them, right?

Zhou Lao didn't answer, but took out a very quaint book from his pocket and handed it to Lin Yue.

Lin Yue looked at it in confusion, and when he saw the words on it, the whole person was stunned, and he lost his voice: "Carved Scripture!"

It's the second half of the "Carved Sutra", which is the same as the half I saw on the ruins!

How could Zhou Lao have the second half of the "Carved Scripture???

Lin Yue's heart was full of doubts and shock

And it seems to be very well preserved, and it is my handwriting in recent years, what's going on?

A series of questions made Lin Yue a little unable to react.

Seeing Lin Yue's doubts, Zhou Lao sighed slightly and began to say: "Actually, my ancestors were not a family of carvings, but a scholarly family, and carving started from my grandfather's generation. My grandfather was called a prodigy since he was a child, full of economy, but because the Qing Dynasty fell, there was no imperial examination, no matter how much knowledge was useless, my grandfather's children were able to run a private school in the countryside, teaching children to read, and by chance he saw an ancient book "Carved Scriptures" in a student's house, but it was a fragmented book, the previous version was not, just read down my grandfather was fascinated, so he borrowed the book and studied it every day......"

Hearing this, Lin Yue's whole body shook violently, and he thought of the letter.

"I was originally a gentleman in a private school, and I didn't leave my name and descendants, so as not to laugh at it. One day, I happened to see half of the "Engraved Sutra" at the bottom of a box at a student's house, and I read it because I was curious, but I was so addicted to it that I couldn't come out. Since then, I have started practicing every day ......"

This is the same as what Zhou Lao said, that is to say, this Zhou Lao's grandfather is the talented predecessor back then!

However, he didn't have time to do a lot and continued to listen to Zhou Lao's story.

"But this "Carved Scripture" is too profound, and only the second half of the book, many times I don't know where to start, although my grandfather is talented, but still can't figure it out. Soon it was time to return the book, and in desperation, my grandfather could only copy a copy of the "Engraved Scripture" by hand, and then return the original. After that, my grandfather began to contact his own manuscripts, and later he really let him practice, and then my family changed from a scholarly family to a family of carvers. ”
