Chapter 100: Tired of Fighting
At that time, the descendants of the Liu family found that the Lu Ban ruler in the Lu Ban Qi was in the hands of Yang's poor descendants, and they were also relieved. Unexpectedly, the Tan family was also looking for five pieces of Lu Banqi, and they also found the Yang family, so a big battle began. ”
When Qin Shaonan said this, he suddenly sighed, "Your uncle was entrusted by the descendants of the Liu family to help the Yang family dig up the tiredness, and as a result, his old man took his life for this!" ”
The Li family's Luban technique and carpentry skills were passed down to the Ma family in the late Qing Dynasty, as well as some old yellow calendars.
Because the ancestral male never lived to be sixty years old, Li Cangshan, the thirty-fourth generation of the Li family, set a testament in the first year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1862): from the grandchildren, the descendants are no longer allowed to engage in carpentering.
In the tenth year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1871), Li Weihua, the thirty-fifth generation of the Li family and the son of Li Cangshan, respected his father's training before going to the American mainland to pan for gold—his next generation could no longer be carpenters.
But the Li family's skills have to be passed on, so Li Weihua chose thousands of choices before accepting an apprentice, Ma Guocheng, and passed on the Li family's Lubanshu and carpentry skills to him, and since then, the Li family's family tradition has been cut off and transferred to the Ma family.
After Li Cangshan and Li Weihua went to the North American continent, they were still engaged in carpentry, and opened the Lihua Wood Factory in Punal Valley, New York, creating another foundation of the Li family in North America.
In the sixth year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (1880), Ma Guocheng's son Ma Luzong was born, Ma Luzong's talent was extremely high, after the Li family broke off the family tradition, he carried forward the Li family's 900 years of Luban art inheritance and carpentry skills, and became the leader of the Bashu carpenter faction.
Ma Luzong is also a martial arts wizard, and more with Bajiquan, Bagua Boxing, Xingyi Boxing Grandmaster to learn from each other, he was inspired by Xingyi Boxing Grandmaster Guo Yunshen, and combined with carpenter skills, he created his own Ma's Qingmu Boxing and Tongzigong, which shocked the land of Bashu.
Ma Carpenter's life experience is full of legends, he was once a guest of Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhidong, important ministers in the late Qing Dynasty, and built carpentry for the ancestral halls of Zhang and Li.
During the Beiyang government, Yuan Shikai and Duan Qirui were his employers, and the later great warlords Wu Peifu, Yan Xishan, and Feng Guozhang also asked him to make the throne. The great warlord Liu Wenhui and Liu Wencai brothers in central Sichuan even regarded him as a high bin and let him work for the Liu family for a long time.
When he traveled through the rivers and lakes, due to fate, he worshiped Liu Xirong, the last elder of the "heart" character of the Qing Gang, who lived in seclusion and escaped the world, as an old man.
Therefore, during the Republic of China, Ma Luzong was the elder with the highest rank in the three sects of the Qinggang, Hongmen, and Tianli Sect (White Lotus Sect), and it was Du Yuesheng and Huang Jinrong who covered the sky with one hand in the Shili Ocean Field in Shanghai to shout to their ancestors when they saw him.
Including his son, Ma Luzong received a total of four apprentices before and after, after his son Ma Chaohua, there was the second apprentice Wan Xiaorong, the third apprentice Qin Shaonan, and the fourth apprentice Gao Zhankui.
Regarding the issue of the generations of the Ma Lu Sect and the Li family, in fact, the master of the Ma Lu Sect, Li Weihua, who has lived in the United States for more than 20 years, only got old in 1901 and when he was nearly 50 years old, and he is the 36th generation of the Li family, Li Jiyong.
Following the iron training of his ancestors, Li Jiyong did not become a carpenter again when he became an adult, but concentrated on managing the Lihua wood factory.
In 1925, Li Jiyong's son, the thirty-seventh generation of the Li family's descendant Li Chun was born, Li Chun was born soon after the birth of the United States during the "Great Depression", Lihua wood factory was closed for a time, the Li family lived in poverty at that time, Li Chun was full of yearning for the Chinese land where his ancestors lived.
In September 1945, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the 20-year-old Li Chun returned to China and met the successor of the Li family and his contemporary, Ma Luzong, who was 65 years old at the time.
Unable to bear Li Chun's hard begging, Ma Lu Zong passed on the carpenter craft to Li Chun, the two are forty-five years old, but the generation is equal, Ma Lu Zong and Li Chun are called "senior brothers".
After the end of World War II, the United States was waiting for a hundred industries, and all industries needed a large number of hard-working craftsmen, and the Lihua Wood Factory was also struggling to operate because of the lack of excellent carpenters at this time.
In 1948, Li Jiyong returned to China to find his nephew Ma Luzong's dignitaries, and Ma Luzong asked his third apprentice Qin Shaonan to go to the United States with him, and after Li Jiyong communicated with the U.S. Consulate, Qin Shaonan, who was 19 years old at the time, was chartered to the United States as a "Chinese worker in urgent need of professional skills in the United States".
After Qin Shaonan arrived in the United States, he participated in the construction of many infrastructure projects of the U.S. federal government on the East Coast, and Qin Shaonan's carpentry skills were recognized by the relevant parties in the United States, and in 1952, Qin Shaonan obtained the status of permanent citizens of the United States.
In 1953, Li Jiyong transferred half of the shares of Lihua Wood Factory to Qin Shaonan, and under the management of the two of them, Lihua Wood Factory rose rapidly in the Punal Valley, and in the sixties and seventies it flourished on the east coast of North America.
At this time, Li Jiyong's son Li Chun also returned to New York from Huaxia, and I don't know if it was against the ancestors' testament, after Li Chun worked as a carpenter for a few years, his numerology caught up with the ancestors' lives - short life.
In 1958, Li Chun died in a car accident in the United States at the age of 33. Li Jiyong was 57 years old at the time, he lost his wife in middle age, and he lost his son when he was old, not to mention that there was only one descendant of Li Chun, Li Jiyong was grief-stricken.
In 1959, 58-year-old Li Jiyong married a Chinese woman in the United States, naturally to inherit the Li family. In the same year, his wife gave birth to a daughter Li Lin for him, and she never gave birth again.
Li Jiyong died in 1982 at the age of 81 at home in New York, he is the longest-lived descendant of the Li family in 900 years, and the only descendant who has not been a carpenter.
In 1980, 21-year-old Li Lin gave birth to the thirty-eighth generation descendant of the Li family in New York - Li Ling, the father of the child, but at that time he was far away in China on the other side of the ocean.
Li Lin's relationship was full of tragedy and misfortune, she never told Li Ling about this qiē, and even Qin Shaonan didn't know much.
Because of the generational relationship, Qin Shaonan has always respectfully called Li Lin, who is thirty years younger than him, "senior aunt", naturally, when he was still wearing open crotch pants, Li Ling called Qin Shaonan, who was more than 50 years older than him, "third senior brother".
And Qin Song, Qin Feng, Qin Tong, and Qin Ying all call Li Ling, who is younger than themselves, "Uncle Shi" according to their seniority.
Back in May 1948, the 68-year-old Ma Luzong was already a world-famous and respected carpenter, and on that day, the descendants of the Liu family found him and asked him to help the descendants of the Yang family solve an operation.
Liu Bowen's descendants, in the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Republic of China, were all respected by the world as warlock leaders, and Ma Luzong was one of the best Luban carpenters in the world at that time, so he naturally had a lot of contacts with the descendants of the Liu family.
It turned out that since the Liu family found out that Yang Yunsong's descendants had the Luban ruler in the Luban mound, it didn't take long for someone to find the Yang family, hoping that the Yang family could sell the Luban ruler to them, and they would never bargain with the Yang family.
Of course, the Yang family refused, and then, their nightmare came.
The descendants of the Yang family inherited the ancestral feng shui and the family learning, and they were not familiar with the Luban technique, not to mention that the Lu Banshu has been considered to be "the art of cutting off children and grandchildren" since ancient times, so there are no people who practice the Lu Banshu among the descendants of the Yang family.
Therefore, when they were calculated, all the people in the Yang family suffered, either killed or suffered by fire, which can be regarded as a series of disasters, but they were helpless, and finally could only ask the Liu family for help.
Although the descendants of the Liu family also practiced Lubanshu, they thought that their cultivation was not enough, so they came to invite the master of Lubanshu, who was famous in Bashu at that time, to come out of the mountain.
After Ma Luzong came to the Yang family, he searched for several days before he finally dug out the operator, and he saw at a glance that the operator was the Tan family, so he smoked the town with cypress leaves, fried it with tung oil, and tossed the carpenter of the Tan family who was the operator.
Knowing that Ma Luzong was out of the mountain, Tan Tiande, the head carpenter of the Tan family, personally went out on horse, he came to the vicinity of Ma Luzong's house and laid down a "fence disgust"-
There is no need to enter the house to bury the town's things, just need to circle around the fence of the Ma family, but anyone who goes out from the Ma family, after passing through this fence, will fall and fight until they fall to death.
Ma Zhaohua, the son of Ma Luzong, broke his leg because of this operation and became a lame.
Ma Luzong was sad and angry, and after digging out this "fence disgust", he found that it was useless to break the disgust, because Tan Tiande added a self-deprecating curse to the town.
Ma Luzong did not secretly give the Tan family an operation, but cast a very high-level "Ming Disgust Technique" in the carpentry aversion technique - that is, the disgusting town can see the light in the open air, and it can also be used to destroy the master without burying it.
Ma Luzong asked his apprentice to make a coffin, and there was a small puppet in the coffin, and the puppet was engraved with Tan Tiande's birthday, which was carried into the courtyard of the Tan family. If the coffin has a big head facing inward and a small head facing outward, it means that you have been promoted and made a fortune).
Because it was a clear disgusting technique, Ma Luzong asked people to carry the coffin of the Tan family, and the Tan family did not dare to move it at all, but whenever someone stepped forward to move and touch the coffin, they would immediately be cursed.
But if you don't move the coffin and take out another operator that is still contained in the coffin, Tan Tiande will be washed away - the puppet engraved with Tan Tiande's birthday, this is a curse Tan Tiande will enter the coffin!
If you don't solve this trick and let this coffin stop in the courtyard for more than seven days, Tan Tiande will really enter the coffin.
After all, Tan Tiande is also a great carpenter of Luban Shu who is no less than the Ma Lu Sect, of course he knows that this is the Ming Wei technique used by the Ma Lu Sect, and to solve the Ming Disgust, you must endure hardships.
Since Ma Luzong was disgusted with cursing himself into the coffin, he asked his apprentice to hang himself on the beam of the house, without his feet touching the ground, but the knotting technique of the rope and the position of the throat were particular - this is also a kind of Luban technique, called "hanging alive", people look like they are hanging, but they don't kill people at all.
As long as you hang on the beam of the house and your feet do not touch the ground for three days and three nights, and the dripping water does not stick, and the grain of rice does not enter, the luck of the three realms and five elements of the person can be separated from the human world in these three days, and even if you have entered the coffin once, this can allow you to avoid this "entering the coffin" and being disgusted.
After avoiding this Ming Wei Chong, he can break the Ming Wei Calculation of Ma Lu Zong, Tan Tiande swore that he must let Ma Lu Zong plant on this coffin Ming Wei - let him enter the coffin!
But Tan Tiande is still inferior to Ma Luzong after all-Ma Luzong not only got tired of this coffin, but also hated it-
The puppet was hollowed out, and it contained a live mouse!
In the Luban carpentry aversion technique, light disgust, dark disgust, living disgust, death disgust, etc., the classification is extremely complicated, and the next living disgust must be controlled by the Luban curse, and only the living creatures of the zodiac can be disgusted.
Living disgust is another extremely advanced type of disgusting technique in Luban's technique, and the Luban warlock who has not cultivated at home does not dare to try it at all.
And this disgust, even Tan Tiande didn't see it.
The rat was blessed by the Ma Lu Sect with the curse of Lu Ban's disgust, which made it fall asleep during the day, and it would wake up at night - the lid at the bottom of the puppet was thin and brittle, and the rat could be knocked out as soon as it was hit.
Does this rat wake up in the middle of the night to steal food?
No, it's going to climb up the beam to bite the rope.
Ma Luzong had already expected that Tan Tiande would "hang himself alive" to avoid the evil of his disgust, so the Luban curse he gave to this rat was to let it climb onto the beam of the house and bite the loose rope.
The knotting method of the rope of "hanging alive" in Luban is very particular, but this also just provides an opportunity for this mouse to get tired of life.
But it was said that Tan Tiande hung on the beam of the house that day to avoid the light and disgust, and when he was hung until midnight, the disgusting mouse woke up and broke the puppet and climbed out, climbed onto the beam of the house where Tan Tiande hanged, and bit a slipknot on the hanging rope in a few bites.
Originally, Tan Tiande's body weight was pulled on three sides by the "live hanging" rope knotting technique, so the rope in his throat would not suffocate him at all.
But after being bitten off a slipknot by this disgusting mouse, as soon as the rope was loosened, Tan Tiande's body sank down, and the weight of his body suddenly fell on the middle rope, and the rope suddenly strangled on his throat......
That night, Tan Tiande's family and apprentices sat under the beams of the house to keep vigil, but they were all dozing off in the middle of the night, and Tan Tiande couldn't make a sound at all because of the rope tightening his throat, and his hands tore the palm rope that was constantly firm, and his body could only swing violently.
When an apprentice woke up when he noticed the abnormality, Tan Tiande had already rolled his eyes, his tongue spit out from the elder, and he was dying.
"The Tan family's Doulu Banshu was defeated by our master, and Tan Tiande's life was also taken. Of course, my senior brother was also miserable by Tan Tiande's 'fence disgust', and almost lost his life, although he snatched it back, he fell lame. Qin Shaonan sighed heavily when he said this,
"And at this time, Tan Tiande's younger brother Tan Tianli rushed back from out of town after learning that his brother had an accident, we didn't expect that this Tan Tianli actually practiced an extremely cruel and terrifying evil art, and our master was planted on it!"
