Chapter 2: The Descendants of Luban

After returning home and taking a bath, Li Ling came to the room, sat on the bed, and began to meditate on luck, from the age of five to follow the third senior brother to practice Tongzigong and Ma's Aoki Boxing, thirteen years of forging scriptures and bones, refining and refining qi, Li Ling is now also a person who practiced martial arts in the early days of Ming Jin.

The Tongzi Gong he practiced and the Aoki Boxing derived from Huaxia Xingyi Boxing, although they were not foreign kung fu, they could only boil their muscles and bones and condense their internal qi during the Ming Jin period.

After three little weeks of luck, Li Ling plugged in his headphones to listen to his Walkman and prepared to fall asleep, but at this time, his head hurt violently!

"It hurts!" Li Ling only felt that the room was spinning, sweating profusely, and the dantian was hot, like a flame burning in it, and like a basin of boiling water boiling in the belly!

Li Ling held his voice, for fear of waking up his sleeping mother, and after a long time in this pain that made people almost collapse, when his whole body was almost soaked, his head suddenly stopped hurting, his consciousness was empty, and the world was quiet again, but-

"Huh?!" Li Ling shook his head vigorously, thinking that he was hallucinating, and pinched his arm again, yes, it was indeed real-

In his mind, an ancient book without a title suddenly poured in, and the contents of the book clearly filled his mind with lightning and flint, and began to merge with his consciousness and memory!

"Tired of winning, wood scripture, spells, Kanyu, fate ......" Li Ling involuntarily chanted, this is the five general outlines of ancient books, under each general outline, there are many illustrated contents and various weird spells, and these heavenly books of text-like spells, he can gradually recognize!

"It seems to be...... Lu Banshu, this is the ...... "Lu Ban Book"!! As the content of the book, the values it conveyed, and his sense of mission gradually merged, Li Ling was already trembling.

I have never encountered a white-bearded old man who passed a book to him, nor did he encounter an adventure similar to Wuyazi passing on his skills to Xuzhu for eighty years...... But in my mind, I suddenly had the inheritance of this book!

He couldn't figure out how he could suddenly get into a "Book of Luban" in his mind that he had never seen before!

The point is, isn't this exactly what you've been looking for?

Li Ling's mother's ancestors are carpenters, and he has been exposed to this circle since he was a child, and he has a deep understanding of many secrets and rules and taboos in the carpenter industry.

In the past, carpenters were easily bullied because of their low social status, or were deceived by unscrupulous employers and deducted wages.

It is said that this set of "Luban Books" is a kind of strange book of curses, witchcraft, and spells, and if someone bullies carpenters, or if an employer withholds wages, the carpenters will retaliate with the spells, witchcrafts and spells on the "Luban Book".

For example, carpenters will cast spells or do some tricks under the foundations of their houses, or on rafters, beams, or furniture, and they will lead these people to lose their wealth and suffer crimes, or even lose their official positions, go to prison, or even ruin their families.

Legend has it that these spells include burying witch Gu and other things, carving and creating strange carpentry gadgets, and chanting spells.

The carpenter collectively referred to these methods as "Luban technique", and the witchcraft Gu Zhenwu such techniques were also called "disgusting techniques" and "lower operators", which was a kind of witchcraft called "sitting on the ground and raising feng shui, and killing people on the beam" in the old days.

Li Ling once asked the third senior brother, is there a carpenter in the world who can do Lu Banshu, or whether there is that kind of magical "Lu Ban Shu", Qin Shaonan always shook his head and was silent, or his words were unknown, not that no one knows Lu Banshu now, or Lu Banshu has long been lost.

This once made Li Ling very interested in the ancient books of the carpenter and his party, and he went to the school library and the New York Library, including the Columbia University Library, in order to find some clues about Huaxia Lubanshu and "Luban Book".

Because many ancient books of Chinese culture that have been lost in China are still unique overseas, Li Ling also plans to go to the British Empire Museum or library in the United Kingdom in the future to find them, or to France to find them.

Britain and France were the most powerful robbers in modern history who plundered China, and many cultural relics and ancient books in China were lost to the pockets of these two robbers.

This is also the reason why Li Ling grinded hard bubbles and asked Tongzi to take him to the Luban temple on Levigang in Punal Valley.

In his opinion, the local Chinese woodworking association is so strict with the Luban temple that there must be a number of ancient carpenter books from China, which may be related to Lubanshu and "Luban Book". Although this time it was also empty-handed.

But now, the "Book of Luban", which he diligently pursued and stepped on the iron shoes that was nowhere to be found, fell from the sky and was like an initiation into his head, consciousness, and memory!

Carpentry is tired of winning the technique, the wood is obscene and skillful, the Liuding Liujia mountain moving technique, the iron siege city, the oil lubricating order, the eye blocking method, the water avoidance technique, the Nine Dragons turn the bone water, the snow landscape ......

The magical and treacherous Luban technique that used to only appear in rumors and storybooks was inherited in his own mind and in his own hands!

Carving an inscription seal, making some kind of clever carpentry, or chanting a spell to cast Luban spells seems to be just a matter of hand-to-hand capture!

In an instant, he became the successor of Lu Banshu!

Li Ling couldn't help but be excited and surprised, how could this kind of chance befall him? Could it be that tonight I had a "meeting" with my grandfather and sparked a spark?

As soon as he "retrieved" the inheritance of Luban techniques in his mind, Li Ling wanted to cast some spells to gain insight and knowledge, but most of those spells needed to be aimed at living creatures, and some needed to be cast in a specific environment.

Li Ling simply came to try the divination technique under the general outline of "Destiny" - the ancestral master Yi hexagram divination, also known as the Luban hexagram, to see if it is accurate, such as predicting what his mother will make breakfast for him tomorrow morning.

He thought for a while, took out two pieces of white paper from the desk, folded them into two paper cranes, and then pinched the Luban hexagram "Food Hexagram" to seal it, and when he was about to scatter the paper cranes on the ground, he suddenly felt a sense of fatigue come up, making him yawn uncontrollably!

What Li Ling didn't know was that within a few tens of seconds, his mind was suddenly implanted and fused into a "Luban Book", which condensed the five or even ten years it would take him to read and learn the above Luban technique again.

This kind of fatigue is several times more tiring than endorsing and doing questions all night, Li Ling is groggy and just wants to sleep, he lies down, but he still feels hot in the dantian, and there seems to be an inexplicable aura hovering near the dantian, stirring his own internal qi a little scattered.

He wanted to use his qi again to clear the meridians, but his body was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as he fell into bed.

When he woke up the next day, it was almost eight o'clock in the morning, Li Ling quickly got up, he had never gotten up so late, people who practice martial arts pay attention to going to bed early and getting up early, practicing Sanjiu in winter, practicing Sanfu in summer, after practicing martial arts at the age of five, Li Ling never got up after five o'clock.

Recalling last night's strange encounter, Li Ling only felt like a dream, and when he wanted to see the Luban technique inherited in his mind again, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Kiriko didn't come to call herself today.

Otherwise, I would never have slept so late, but my biological clock has always been very accurate, but it failed this morning.

In the past, no matter the wind or rain, Kiriko would definitely come over and knock on his window at about four o'clock in the morning, and then the two of them would go to the courtyard of the third senior brother's back hall to do morning classes, practice Tongzi Gong, stand on piles, squat on horses, and walk three times before the twelve styles of Aoki Boxing.

"Mom-" Li Ling rushed downstairs, wanting to ask his mother, but through the living room window, he saw his mother carrying things to the car in large bags by the side of the garage.

It was all some very heavy wooden handicrafts carved from red pine, and in the middle of summer in July, my mother's back was already dripping with sweat.

Li Ling's heart was sour, and he immediately pushed open the window and shouted, "Mom, can't you give yourself a day off?" This is the United States, a country that pursues personal pleasure and the pleasure of life, OK? ”

"Xiao Ling is up?" Li Lin turned around and smiled at her son, "Before I save enough money for you to buy a house in Amonk, New York, marry a good daughter-in-law for you, and pass on the roots of our Li family, how can you and I have time to rest!" Besides, you're going to go to college as soon as the summer vacation is overβ€”"

"Ahem! Mom, Columbia University gave me a full scholarship! Li Ling knew that she would inevitably talk about college tuition.

"A scholarship is a scholarship, you also need living expenses, extracurricular interests, practice, visits, travel, parties, and love!" Li Lin snapped her fingers and smiled,

"Son, we Chinese are not like white people, children grow up and let them go, when you are fifty or sixty years old, if your mother is still alive, she will still have to take care of you!"

Li Ling shook his head and sighed: "Alas! If I could see you so actively looking for a boyfriend or even traveling for a few days, I might really believe in Jesus Christ like my ancestors! ”

"Hey, you're a man, don't be like a bastard, your mother can hear these words!" Li Lin waved to Li Ling and opened the car door.

Li Ling looked at her stubborn and strong mother, what should she say, she wouldn't listen anyway.

Although she occasionally thinks of her biological father who she has never met, Li Ling doesn't mind her mother finding her a stepfather, she is only thirty-nine years old after all, and she still looks young and beautiful.

There used to be many men who pursued her mother, but she refused, and Li Ling hadn't seen her mother go out on a date since she was sensible.

When he was a child, Li Ling didn't understand, but now that he has grown up, he still doesn't understand, what his mother thinks in his heart!

Seeing that his mother had already gotten into the car, Li Ling remembered what was going on, and immediately shouted: "By the way, Mom, why didn't Tongzi call me in the morning?" ”

"Kiriko came here in the morning, and you slept too deeply, so he didn't call you." Li Lin started the car and poked his head out of the car, "By the way, he asked me to tell you that the new house of Fourth Master Chen's house is on the beam today, and your third senior brother, him, and Feng Tiao have all rushed over, and you want to find him to go to the new house foundation of Fourth Master Chen." ”

"Upper beam?" Li Ling listened, and in his mind, under the "Book of Wood" of the "Book of Luban", a complete set of craftsmanship, methods, rules, taboos, chong ke, and the law under the "Book of Wood" of the "Luban Book" about carpenter's construction, palm ink building, and erection of beams, instantly came to his heart.

It turns out that in Lubanshu, just a beam when a carpenter builds a house has so many exquisiteness and rules, and it can even involve the formation and the art of solution!

In the past, Li Ling had seen the third senior brother build houses and beams for the Chinese in Punal Valley many times, but it was just a carpenter climbing on the beams of the house to go through the motions, which was nothing unusual.

But now, after inheriting a copy of "Luban Book" in his mind, Li Ling realized that this field, this world about Lubanshu, is so profound and magnificent!

Thinking of this, he was excited for a while, just to see some of the craftsmanship and rules of building the beams in Lu Ban's technique, and shouted to his mother at the moment: "Mom, don't call home during the day, I'll go to Fourth Master Chen's house to see the third senior brother and them go up the beam!" ”
