Chapter 128: Lu Ban Book (On the shelves today, add a new chapter)
On the train to Datong, I lay in swaddling clothes with a black face and a word, almost writing the word depression on my forehead.
Leng Bingyue said that she would stay at home and wait for the workers to come to install the door, although there was nothing valuable at home, but she couldn't just leave with confidence.
Yichen, Lu Quan, Lu Xueyao, and I who was wrapped in swaddling clothes by Lu Xueyao, three and a half people sat in the soft sleeper car, listening to the sound of the train pressing over the tracks.
Lu Quan and Yichen may have laughed enough, seeing that I still have no love, so they gave Lu Xueyao a look and motioned for her to release me from the swaddling clothes.
Lu Xueyao pouted and reluctantly took me out and said sorry.
I rolled my eyes helplessly, and I wanted to say a few words to her, but when I looked at her eyes with tears of grievance, all my grievances disappeared.
"Hey, forget it, I really can't do anything about you."
When Lu Xueyao heard this, she immediately changed her face and smiled, hugged me and kissed her, "I know that you definitely won't really blame me." β
Me: "......"
"Ahem, pay attention to the image." Yichen coughed lightly twice and reminded bluntly.
Lu Xueyao stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, and said with an apologetic smile: "Oh, sorry, I accidentally spilled wave dog food." β
I was really made to cry without tears by her, so I changed the topic and asked, "Uncle Quan, is there really a way to regenerate hands and feet as recorded in the Book of Luban?" β
As soon as they got down to business, Lu Quan and Yichen immediately became serious.
Lu Quan saw that he had nothing to do, so he lit a cigarette and slowly told us the story about him and "Lu Banshu".
There are many, many legends about the Book of Luban in the world, some of which are true, but there are also many people who have made them up.
This book is undoubtedly written by the ancestor of the civil engineering line, but the whole book has been passed down from generation to generation.
And most of the ones that are circulating among the people today are the first volume of the "Book of Luban".
"Luban Book" is also called "Missing a Door", according to legend, those who study this book must choose one of the five disadvantages of widowhood, widowhood, loneliness, loneliness, and disability.
But even so, it can't stop people from flocking to it.
Lu Quan inherited this book from his father, and at that time, he didn't know much about the five evils, so he casually chose widowhood.
When he grew up, Lu Quan had long forgotten about it, and it wasn't until his wife Wu Fen was persecuted to death that he remembered his childhood choices and was annoyed.
It's a pity that the wood has passed away, and since then Lu Quan has completely broken off the idea of remarrying, firstly, he can't forget his deceased wife, and secondly, he doesn't want to harm others because of the curse of this book.
As for the content of the "Book of Luban", Lu Quan did not mention a word, and a few of us also understood the reason, so we did not continue to ask.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little depressed again, Lu Quan smiled and said, "In this way, let me tell you a little interesting story about our line of work to ease the atmosphere." β
After speaking, Lu Quan continued to take a cigarette and talked to himself:
"It is said that there is such a family in a certain village, and after moving into a newly built house, it is common to hear a whimpering sound on the roof in the middle of the night, which is like a ghost crying.
The people of the old society were superstitious, and they were frightened at that time, and the next day they quickly asked the village gentleman to help take a look, but it had no effect.
Later, another mage came and said that it was not a feng shui problem or a ghost, and asked the family to think about whether they had offended the craftsman when building the house.
Only then did the owner of the house come to his senses, so he quickly contacted all the craftsmen who had built the house and set up a banquet.
After a full meal, the owner told the problem of the house, and asked the craftsmen who could help solve the problem, and they would be thanked.
When one of the plasterers heard this, he felt that the host's banquet had been set up, and that his sincerity was enough, so he waved his hand and said, 'This matter is easy to do, and it is easy to do with your hands.' β
Then he called his companion to bring a ladder, bowed down as a god, and climbed up to the roof.
After a few minutes, the plasterer came down from the roof and said that the matter was settled, and that he had chased away the dirt on the roof and would not come back.
The master was suspicious and paid the plasterer a sum's money, but the other party did not ask for it. At night, the strange sound of the roof disappeared, and the family immediately sighed that they had met a master.
But the truth of the matter is not like this at all, it turns out that when the house was built, the owner of the house was stingy and gave the craftsmen very poor food, which made the craftsmen quite resentful.
But people didn't dare to say it openly, for fear that the owner would deduct their wages.
And this plasterer, who once learned some fur knowledge from the "Book of Luban", rolled his eyes, thought about it, and said that he could help the big guy out of this breath.
Then he checked the local climate, calculated the direction of the wind, and secretly filled an empty bottle on the roof where it was difficult to find when people were not looking.
So after the house was built, whenever the wind blew in the middle of the night, the wine bottle would make that whimpering, similar to a ghost crying. β
After Lu Quan finished speaking, he extinguished the cigarette butt and smiled at us, and continued:
"So, this person has to be kind, otherwise one day he will accidentally offend someone who can't be provoked."
Yichen tugged at the corners of his mouth, raised his eyebrows and said, "No, this "Book of Luban" actually records this kind of tricky method?" β
Lu Quan was choked by Yichen's words, coughed violently a few times, and said helplessly:
"Why is your focus different from others? "The Book of Luban" covers a wide range of topics and has a huge content, but you can't imagine it.
But you're right, there are many more of these prank-like methods in the book. β
My curiosity suddenly rose, and I hurriedly said to Lu Quan: "Uncle Quan, this method also teaches me, maybe one day I will be bullied, and I will use this method to rectify people." β
Lu Quan bared his big yellow teeth and said: "Okay, widow, widow, lonely, lonely, and disabled, you can choose one of these five evils first." β
I was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Didn't you just say that this method is just a surface?" You won't commit these five evils, right? β
Lu Quan shook his head and said: "The "Book of Luban" and those superficial knowledge that circulate among the people will naturally not have much retribution if they are learned.
But I am learning the whole book, let me teach you, that is equivalent to accepting you as my apprentice. Do you think you should commit these five evils? β
Seeing that he seemed to be smiling, I unconsciously swallowed my saliva, twitched the corners of my mouth and sneered: "Uh, forget it, I can't learn it, I won't learn, hehe." β
Lu Quan looked at me from top to bottom with a strange expression, rubbed his chin and muttered:
"You reminded me that I have not been in the earth for much time now, but unfortunately there is no one to inherit this craft.
And you, now that you're like this, you can just choose the remnant, just inherit my craft, what do you think? β
I immediately threw a big roll of my eyes and said in amazement:
"I know that you must not have held back any good words, isn't this "Luban Book" passed down from generation to generation, I'm an outsider, how can I learn? Besides, don't you have a daughter, just pass it on to Sister Mantou. β
Lu Quan waved his hand and said: "Hey, what lineage is passed down from generation to generation, it is all an old idea hundreds of years ago." Good things are naturally obtained by those who are destined. Moreover, Bingyue is a girl's family, isn't it a waste to learn this. β
I rolled my eyes again, pouted and said, "You just feel sorry for your daughter, anyway, I just don't learn two words." β
Today is not on the shelf on the first day of the first month of the month, so there will be a daily update for the remaining half a month, just to save up manuscripts by the way. Thank you for your support and understanding.
