Wu Banxian did not go to the countryside this time, but went to set up a stall in the county seat.

As a more famous Wenfuzi, he has a street box in the Qingshui Tea House in the east of the city, if someone encounters something on weekdays, they will come here to look for him, Wu Banxian made a pot of tea there, asked for some sunflower seeds and boiled peanuts, and sat for a day.

This world is chaotic, but chaos also has the benefits of chaos, people look up at the sky, everywhere is bleak, it is easy to pin their minds on ghosts and gods and ethereal.

Because of this, Wu Banxian's business is not bad, and one after another, people have come to him to ask.

This old man is quite famous in Qiancheng County, and he is really capable, whether it is to help people name names, break dreams, fortune telling, or break the game, they are all the head of the way, and they are basically very accurate, for example, you come to a middle-aged man with a horse face, this person is a friend of Boss Liu of the cloth trading house, he didn't believe him at first, Wu Banxian was not in a hurry, and asked about the person's birthday.

In the newspaper, Wu Banxian lined up the eight characters, the great luck, and the passing year in front of the person, and said: "Under the list of your birthday, you can see that the first step of the Universiade is Ren Yin, and the second step of the Universiade is Gui Mao, all of which are water and wood luck, and your eight characters are taboo is water and wood, it seems that your childhood was very difficult, upside down, unstable, and very poor." You left home at the age of eighteen, but you left the government at the age of twenty - so I conclude that you should have been a soldier at the age of eighteen, and you became famous at the age of twenty, and then prospered all the way, right? “

The man said, "I became a soldier at the age of nineteen, and I was in charge at the age of twenty-one." ”

Wu Banxian said: "You are according to the new calendar, and I am talking about the lunar calendar, so it is correct." ”

The man became interested and said that you should count my family.

Wu Banxian said: "I just said, your childhood was extremely unstable, I can't see the positive seal from your eight characters, only partial luck, and I can't get help from my mother, especially when you are six or seven years old, your mother's luck is very bad, you should have been raised by female elders such as aunts or aunts, right?" ”

The middle-aged man said: "Yes, my mother was seriously ill in those two years and passed away not long after. ”

After saying this, he began to treat Wu Banxian differently, and asked a few more questions, and after chatting, Boss Liu told Wu Banxian that this was the new official of the militia and came from Tanzhou.

Look at it, Wu Banxian is really capable, and he is different from ordinary fortune tellers who fool people.

It is by virtue of this real ability that he can be able to mix well in Qiancheng County and even Xiangxi's generation.

However, the little carpenter had some doubts about this person.

This person is not simple.

Although he seemed very cautious, the side knocks on the little carpenter in the past few days made the little carpenter involuntarily feel panicked.

Wu Banxian seemed to want to know Lu Da's whereabouts at the moment, and he was more anxious than the little carpenter.

Why?

The little carpenter doesn't look at people who are honest, but since he was a child, he has followed his master to the docks, and his knowledge is always much stronger than that of his peers, so Wu Banxian showed a little bit of something wrong here, and he immediately felt it.

There's something strange about this.

The little carpenter followed Wu Banxian to Qiancheng County, guarded for a day, and waited until it was dark, and he didn't see anything wrong, so he rushed back before him.

Back in the cottage, the mute saw him, gestured, and asked him if he had eaten.

The little carpenter shook his head and said no.

The mute prepared food for him, and the little carpenter did not eat for a day, and was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and he was not polite at the moment, and he ate not a grain of rice left.

It was dark, Wu Banxian came back, and saw the little carpenter alone in the yard, doing wood carving by moonlight, but this wood carving was the one Liu Xiaoya saw last time, and it was almost carved at this time, it was a fat boy of five or six years old, and it was vividly carved by the little carpenter.

Wu Banxian drank wine, but he was not drunk, so he moved a bamboo chair over to watch the little carpenter carve.

The little carpenter came back from his concentration and said hello to him, Wu Banxian waved his hand and said no, you do yours.

The little carpenter didn't carve again, and Wu Banxian saw that he had interrupted the other party's work, so he asked, "This child, is it you before?" ”

Nagan 13 shook his head and said no, it was a playmate of mine when I was a child - he was the son of a large family in eastern Sichuan, at that time my master built a house for his family, and he did it for more than three years, I just had my master at that time, I had no skills, I couldn't start, at that time their family invited a martial artist to teach him martial arts, my master let me learn next to me, pass the time, come and go, I became friends with him.

Wu Banxian asked him, "Oh, it turns out that your skills were learned from that martial artist?" ”

Gan 13 nodded and said yes.

Wu Banxian asked: "The house that has been up for three years, that business is really big...... What's your playmate's name? ”

Gan 13 said: "I don't remember his name, I remember the nickname, called Qu Laohu, he is the eighth in the family, and sometimes I call him Qu Laoba." ”

Wu Banxian remembered: "Lu County Qu family, I know, there are three big families in Xichuan, Kaixian Tangmen, Yibin Shangguan, Luxian Qu family - Kaixian Tangmen, also known as Huangling faction, is the head of the five flowers in Emei, the rest, such as Fuling's Dianyi faction, Dujiangyan's Qingcheng faction, Tongjiang's Iron Buddha faction, Fengdu's Qingniu faction are not as good, Tang Damiang has been famous over the years, Yibin Shangguan is said to be a disciple of Qingcheng, a descendant of the sword fairy, as for the Qu family, the god of wine Qu Tianxia is even more famous in the southwest, but it is a pity that five years ago the tragedy of destroying the door, The huge Qu family has disappeared, you, your childhood friend, I'm afraid you won't survive, right? “

After that, Wu Banxian shook his head and sighed: "Ten thousand acres of fertile land, one liter of solar eclipses; Thousands of mansions, eight feet of sleep at night - the way of this world, prosperity and decline, nothing more than this. ”

Gan 13 said: "When his family was hit by the disaster, no one else was there, and he wandered around all these years, and he also went to Nanyang. ”

Wu Banxian listened, sighed, and said that if this is the case, it is still lucky-Qu Tianxia has done good deeds all his life, and he has left a pulse in the present dynasty, which can be regarded as a kind of good cause and good fruit.

He chatted with the little carpenter for a few words, and then asked, "There will always be changes in life, if your master has no news, what are your plans?" ”

The little carpenter thought for a while and said, "I thought about it, I am going to stay here in Qiancheng for a year and a half, and if there is no news, I am going to go to Yucheng - my master and I have worked there, I know some people, I heard that there are many ways to do there, I learned the craft from the master, there are many ways to live, and I will never die of hunger." ”

Wu Banxian nodded, and said yes, Yucheng is a big place, the Yangtze River is the main road, businessmen gather, there are many people, you always have to build a house, you can't starve people, and your craft has been passed down by your master, even if you don't build a house, making furniture is always first-class, and God is not hungry craftsmen.

He said, and then asked: "When Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, tens of millions of people were killed to only hundreds of thousands, thousands of corpses, bleeding and drifting, countless unjust souls, so the Sichuan land is treacherous, if you can learn your master's skills, even if you don't work, you can live a very nourishing life." “

The little carpenter shook his head and said that my qualifications were dull and my life was thin, and if I hadn't practiced hard since I was a child, I would have died a long time ago, so the master's methods of exorcising evil spirits and avoiding ghosts had never taught me.

Wu Banxian said, "Didn't I think you were very powerful that night?"

The little carpenter said: "It's just a matter of fighting, whatever the master says, I will do whatever I want, if you really want me to go alone, I am afraid that I will die a long time ago." ”

Wu Banxian took the pu fan, shook it, and said: "Your master is really a person with great skills, it's a pity that you didn't learn this from him - I've heard that in this Luban Sect, there is a strange book, called Luban Book." This Luban book is said to be the craftsman ancestor Lu Ban cracked the wordless book of heaven, the "Lu Ban Sutra" circulated, of course, this is a rumor, that "Lu Ban Sutra" is divided into Lu Ban book volume, Lu Ban book next volume, Lu Ban middle book (before the transmission of the teaching) and ten thousand laws to return to the sect four, is the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after the Taoist people to write and improve, a set of strange scriptures circulated in the carpenter group, it spread in the world, later in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing court cleaned up the White Lotus Sect, by the way suppressed the folk magic group, so that it was lost one after another, your master used to stay in the Luban Sect, have you ever seen this book? “

The little carpenter looked dazed, shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it, in this world, is there really such a thing?" ”

Wu Banxian stared at him seriously, for a while, and said with a smile: "This thing has been passed down for a long time, and the older generation has passed it on by word of mouth, so it should be true, right?" But who knows? ”

He didn't ask any more, but burped a drink, and then stood up happily and said, "If you drink too much, your brain will be a little confused—go to bed early, and don't be busy." ”

He walked to the inside of the cottage, and as he walked, he shouted: "Black Bull, Black Bull, your turtle son, come and fetch hot water for Lao Tzu." ”

Under the fence, the little carpenter didn't dare to make a mistake, so he cleaned up and went back to the room to rest.

I don't know why, this day is a particularly good sleep, as soon as my eyes are closed, I feel like I am falling asleep......

I don't know how long it took, the little carpenter lying on the wooden bed opened his eyes for a moment, and then quickly closed them, and then, his ears moved, and the eyeballs under his eyelids seemed to be rolling, and then, a voice came from the courtyard outside the house: "This little guy really doesn't know about Lu Banshu?" ”

A few seconds later, the little carpenter heard Wu Banxian's hoarse voice: "Yes, I have tried many times, he should not know." ”

When the man heard this, he said coldly: "Since this is the case, it is useless to keep him, give him to me, kill and bury the field." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, the little carpenter's hair immediately stood on end, and he completely woke up.
