Chapter 58: Parting
Although the Luban sect took the public loss class in the Spring and Autumn Period as its ancestor, in fact, it is not the inheritance of Luban, but a secret guild of craftsmen who gathered carpenters, stonemasons and related construction and construction industries.
Among them, there have been many talented and intelligent people, who have contributed wisdom and made up for it one after another, and finally there are many secret methods taught by Luban.
This point is explained in the prequel and post-teaching of "Luban Quanshu".
Of course, this part is naturally only known to the most core personnel.
However, since the Luban Sect is a craftsman's guild, especially established in the name of Luban, there are naturally many mechanisms and methods about the so-called "strange skills and tricks", and the book that Li Mengsheng handed to the little carpenter is a compendium book related to the manufacture of mechanisms and rune technology.
The little carpenter looked through it and found that the origin of the book was mentioned at the beginning, but it was a senior named Fu Hongying at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, who got a summary of the legendary Luban's organs, and finally compiled it.
There are not only the inheritance of ancient methods, but also the various experiences and methods summed up in the teachings at that time, which can be regarded as an encyclopedia of strange skills, the method of organs and the manufacture of magic weapons.
There are many typical objects in the book, all of which have been passed down through the ages, such as the wooden magpie that flew for three days without falling made when the Luban Immortal Master and Mozi were fighting, also known as the Tianji Magpie, and the wooden oxen and flowing horses used by the Wuhou of the Three Kingdoms to transport grain and grass, as well as the paper kites that are like a frightening frightening, the mechanism puppets used for grinding, and the scarecrow that is indistinguishable from the real and the fake......
These things, ordinary people look very strange, as if they are immortal methods, but in the eyes of cultivators, they are just some bells and whistles, tricks, nothing more.
In terms of cultivation, these things are actually not very helpful, so there is a lot of controversy in the Luban Sect.
At that time, the lotus leaf Zhang passed down, and most of the Luban Sutra was handed over to Lu Da, and this "Luban Organ Secret Technique" was compensated for Zhang Qiming, but he didn't expect it to fall into the hands of the little carpenter in the end.
Although he Ganmo has never admitted that he is a disciple of Luban, he deserves to say "disciple of Luban".
The little carpenter took the book and flipped through a few pages, but he liked it very muchβafter all, these were all within his professional scope, and if he could study it thoroughly, he would be very happy in his heart.
But he still handed the book to Li Mengsheng and said, "If Brother Li wants to read it, just take it and see it." β
Li Mengsheng shook his head, to be honest, when I took it out just now, I had already roughly looked at it, as the so-called "there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry", people's energy is limited, if they are not greedy enough, they will only do everything, but everything is rare, so it is better to let you take it, if I need it in the future, I will find you directly - maybe you will not be able to fight with me when the time comes?
The little carpenter hurriedly said: "Naturally not, Brother Li, whenever he is sent, just say a word, no matter where Gan Mo is, he will definitely come thousands of miles, go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and he will not give up." β
Li Mengsheng handed him the book, and took out fifteen big yellow croakers, twenty-two small yellow croakers, more than 100 oceans, and some things like land deeds and land deeds, as well as some of Zhang Qiming's various trivial things.
He put them on the ground and put them away, then handed the Secret Seal of Naluban to the little carpenter, and gave him how to use it.
This thing is very magical, it looks small, but in fact there is something else inside, twice the space of the large wooden box that the little carpenter carried before.
It is also very simple to use, after Li Mengsheng lifted the ban, he taught the little carpenter how to use it, and introduced the breath into it, just like a key to open, just look inside, you can take it and put it freely, which is very convenient.
The little carpenter feels quite magical, and under the guidance of Li Mengsheng, after using it several times, he feels a little in love with it.
Li Mengsheng had expected the little carpenter's reaction and taught him carefully, but the little carpenter had almost finished playing, but he handed over the property in it to Li Mengsheng, and then said: "Brother Li has helped me a lot, thirteen I know in my heart, I can't repay it, I have collected everything else, only these ill-gotten gains, if I take them, I really feel a little guilty in my heart; And I'm a craftsman, who eats by hand, and I take so much money, but it's a burden, so I'll leave it to you to help deal with it, no matter how you use it, it has nothing to do with me. Li Mengsheng saw that the little carpenter was not greedy for money, and there was a little more smile on his face, but he did not refuse, but said to him: "Since you say so, then I will take it - around Maoshan Mountain, there are many mountain people who are hungry and very poor, and this money will be used to fund them when the time comes." β
The little carpenter nodded, and said that it was the best.
When Li Mengsheng spoke, he kept looking at the little carpenter, and saw that his face was normal, his eyes were sincere, and he didn't seem to be fake, and he admired the other party more and more.
He chatted with the little carpenter for a few more moments, and then asked about Ganmo's plans for the future.
Although his master was reluctant to accept the little carpenter as an apprentice, Li Mengsheng was still very concerned about the future movements of the little carpenter.
Regarding this matter, the little carpenter has already thought clearly in the past few days, and now he also told Li Mengsheng that he is going to go to Hankou and Tanzhou to find Zhang Qiming's two apprentices according to the news explained by Wu Banxian, and wants to get more news about himself from them.
And if it still doesn't work, he may go back to Ganjiabao in the northwest.
It's not that you want to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, but you want to know more things.
The little carpenter has a strong curiosity about the girl in the red jacket who appears from time to time in his right eye, which is what he calls "twin sisters", and he must find out about this matter before he stops.
Hearing this, Li Mengsheng nodded, and then said: "I have been to Hankou and Tanzhou, the place is good, but the current situation is too chaotic, you have to be careful in everything." β
The little carpenter nodded, and said I know this.
Li Mengsheng said again: "That Wu Banxian has a lotus flower with a mouth and a lotus tongue, and the sky is full of flowers, which is very demagogic, whether it is released or kept, it is a scourge, so I simply help you take it back to Maoshan and detain it; If you want to see him at that time, come directly to Jinling, find the shopkeeper Tong of the dyeing workshop, let him know, and I will ask someone to send it to you when the time comes. β
The little carpenter gratefully bowed his hand and said thank you.
Li Mengsheng explained a few more words to him, and then asked when he would leave, and the little carpenter said that everything was in order now, and he was ready to leave tomorrow.
Li Mengsheng didn't persuade him much, but told him that since this was the case, he would set up a banquet tonight and practice it for him.
The little carpenter said yes.
That night, Li Mengsheng called Xiao Mingyuan, Mei Yuan and a few acquaintances to see off the little carpenter.
Although he is a vegetarian and does not drink, the dishes are very rich, and the wine has also brought the best old cellar puree to mix with wine, among the several people on the scene, except for Li Mengsheng, who does not drink, everyone else is enthusiastic and happy, and constantly advises to drink, and the atmosphere is very good.
The only pity is that Xiao Tao, who has a good relationship with the little carpenter, did not rush over.
As soon as the little carpenter asked, he learned that Xiao Tao had sent his master back to the mountains to be confined, as for the specific reason, several people said a little vaguely, and it seemed to be related to the people from Penglai Island in the East China Sea.
But what it was, whether it was Li Mengsheng or Xiao Mingyuan, they refused to say, and only mentioned that the people on Penglai Island seemed to have taken in the tiger head.
This matter is a bit serious, but the people of Penglai Island keep saying that although Hutou Tuo is by Dong Wangguan's side, he has not done too many evil things, as the so-called "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha", as long as he is dedicated to goodness, he should still be given some opportunities.
This statement was not recognized by Maoshan, although Hutou Tuo did not participate in Dong Wangguan's hurtful things, but in recent years, he has helped to traffic tobacco and soil, and has also created a lot of evil.
He can get out now if he wants to, where is it so easy?
The little carpenter is an outsider and does not know much about the conflict and the situation, so he will not comment.
But no matter what, he doesn't think that tiger head is innocent, and now that guy has escaped by taking advantage of the east wind of Penglai Island in the East China Sea, if he does evil again in the future, what should he do?
Of course, the little carpenter also thought about these words in his heart, and did not publish them.
He's still very cautious in his mouth.
That night, several people drank and were greedy for fun, and even Li Mengsheng, who had always been cold, was patient to accompany him, and talked about many things, including the magic sword and thunder technique used by his senior brother Xuqing that day......
On the top of Zhongshan Mountain, which is more than ten kilometers away from Jubao Villa, on top of a boulder, there is a man.
The man stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the northern foot from afar, a wind blew, blowing up his clothes, and in the moonlight, this man's resolute and handsome face like marble looked as if Pan An was reincarnated.
It's just that his hair is extremely short, and his head is covered with green skin, and he looks like a monk.
The man stood there, not far away, Wang Xinjiang, who was like a god that night, turned into his original short and stout appearance again, and hurried to arrive with Xu Meiniang, and then the two of them retreated a large number of subordinates behind them, came to the edge of the cliff alone, and saluted the man.
After Wang Xinjiang greeted him, he said in a panicked manner: "Boss, my subordinates are not doing well, and I ask you to come over in person......
The man didn't look at him, but looked at the northern foothills, and said calmly, "How is the situation?" β
Xu Meiniang looked at the man full of masculine charm with a fascinated face, while Wang Xinjiang cautiously reported: "Our side is short of manpower, and the master of Jinling Honglu, who originally planned to be wooed, was also killed by Maoshan Zhangjiao Zhenren Xuqing with thunder, and now that Maoshan is full of forces, we can only avoid ......the edge for the time being."
The man was noncommittal and said: "In this case, then follow your plan, don't cause trouble for the time being, after all, Maoshan is the top Taoist sect in the world, and you still have to give some face." β
Wang Xinjiang asked: "Boss, what advice do you have when you come back this time?" β
The man shook his head and said, "I didn't come here for your business, but for ......"
He turned his head, looked not far away, and then asked, "Xinjiang, what do you think of this place, how do you think of feng shui?" β
Wang Xinjiang was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know why the other party mentioned it like this, so he only said stubbornly: "Naturally, it is good, Zhongshan Longpan, Shicheng Tiger, and the emperor's mansion are also ......."
When the man heard this, he couldn't help but smile, and then said: "Don't be nervous, I actually just came to see the luck, now I look at it on the spot, although there is a dragon to lean on, but the left and right green dragons, white tigers are not obvious, the left and right sides are robbed by the wind and water, the central channel is straight out into a leaky tire, there is a suspicion of wealth and qi does not gather, no matter who is called to preside over the construction, I am afraid that it is useless......"
Wang Xinjiang nodded and said that the boss was very right.
The man's thinking was extremely jumpy, put this topic aside, and asked again: "I heard that the clowns from the former Qing Dynasty Restoration Society also came to Jinling?" Also to Yang Hu Chan destroyed the dragon vein wild boar skin handed down by Houjin, three points of dragon energy? Who are the three of them? β
Wang Xinjiang hurriedly told the matter one by one, and after the man listened, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Wang Baishan, Dong Xiwu, Ganmo?" Hehe, kind of interesting......"
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and left alone.
And the next morning, the little carpenter who had a hangover got up, washed his face, and left Jinling City.
