Chapter 653 The second volume of the Book of Luban
Sun Luyuan couldn't sit still, so he came over, pinched my shoulder and shouted, "Say, how many good goods do you still have in your possession?" Hurry up, take them out, and let the buddies palm. ”
I pushed his hand away: "Don't make trouble, the things in "Luban Book" are all my private inheritance, except for Ergou who has seen it once, even the family members don't have this eye, let alone you." ”
Sun Luyuan shouted happily just now, attracting the eyes of the people around him, and when I spoke, I found that many people were looking at us.
I waved my hand at Sun Luyuan and asked him to go back and sit down first, he seemed to find that he was a little out of line, so he didn't dare to be verbose, and quickly retreated.
At this time, I saw Lu Qing reaching for her schoolbag, so I waved at her: "Don't worry, let's talk about it when we go out." ”
It didn't take long for Li Huaishan and Huang Yuzhong to come back, these two people spent my money, and they didn't feel distressed at all, and ordered a table full of dishes, but in the end they didn't finish eating, so they had to pack and take them away.
When the account was settled, it was exactly one o'clock at noon, the scorching sun was headed, and the temperature in Hainan was also 30 degrees away, as soon as I got out of the hotel, I opened the door as fast as possible, ventilated and dissipated the heat, while Lu Qing was not paying attention, I also deliberately opened the trunk to see, the size of the black does not seem to be afraid of heat at all, this time is hugging each other, sleeping soundly.
Lu Qing said that she still had classes in the afternoon, and I didn't dare to delay more, I felt that the carriage was not so steamy, so I turned on the air conditioner and let everyone get on the train.
"Did you bring the first half of the roll?" As soon as I got in the car, Lu Qing hurriedly asked me.
I smiled and shook my head: "I didn't bring it, it's in Bohai Bay." ”
Lu Qing pursed her lips, and then hesitated for a long time before opening her schoolbag and taking out a wooden box about a foot long from it.
I took the box and checked it, it was very weighty, and I took it around every day, which was really embarrassing for Lu Qing.
When I lifted the lid of the box, Huang Yuzhong and Sun Luyuan turned their heads over at the same time, and I glanced back at them, and the two of them slowly shrank back.
The scrolls inside the box are made of wooden paper, and they exude a unique smell from the Spring and Autumn period.
In the past, I had only seen the relevant records of wood paper in the classics of the family, which said that this kind of paper "cut wood into foil, Xu Rui will break", which means that this kind of paper is cut directly out of wood, and its thickness is as thin as the gold leaf used for embossing, and something a little sharper can pierce it.
To this day, the folk still preserve similar crafts, but most of them only keep their tables, but do not retain the essence of this skill, Luban wood paper, the wood used has to go through more than 300 processes repeatedly tempered, the wood should be stored in an extremely humid environment for one year, and then put into an extremely dry place to dry through, two years later, the grain is not deformed, the surface is not cracked wood, can be used to make paper.
The scroll of wooden paper in my hand is at least 2,400 years old, and it is still as new as new, and even the red ink on it is very clear.
"Where did you get this?" Li Huaishan asked in the back.
I glanced at Li Huaishan, this guy was looking at me with his head tilted, and when he saw me squinting at him, he asked me timidly, "Even I can't look at it?" ”
I nodded, and he retracted himself.
Lu Qing said: "This is passed down from the ancestors, listen to my father, our family is a direct descendant of Lu Ban, but it will be broken in my generation." ”
"Why is it broken? Because you're a girl? ”
As I spoke, I carefully unfolded the scroll, lest I accidentally break it.
Lu Qing nodded: "My dad said that Lu Banshu can't be passed on to people with foreign surnames, and my children won't have my surname in the future, so it will definitely be broken." Ay? You don't have the surname Lu, why do you have the first half of the volume in your hand? ”
"I got it by chance," I replied while looking at the words on the wooden paper: "It may be that Lu Ban has a spirit in the sky and doesn't want his craft to be lost, so he let the first half of the volume fall into my hands, or he wants to borrow my hand and return this half of the book to the Lu family." ”
Speaking of this, I raised my head and smiled at Lu Qing: "Do you think that I am not qualified to watch these things?" ”
Lu Qing said very seriously: "I don't mean that, in fact, my father has always wanted to pass on his skills to you, otherwise I wouldn't be able to show you the second half of the Book of Luban." My dad said that now that the world has changed, if you don't find an apprentice quickly, the old craftsmanship of the family will really be lost, but he has never made up his mind, after all, doing so will break the rules of the ancestors. ”
I said, "Old Lu is drunk, talking nonsense, right?" ”
Although I said so, I was still afraid that Lu Qing would make a temporary decision and take back the paper scroll in my hand, so I read the content of it as quickly as possible, with the first half of the volume as the foundation, the content of this volume is easy to remember, and if you look at it roughly, you should be able to remember it.
"My dad didn't drink that day," Lu Qing said to me: "He also said that Lu Banshu was left in our house, it was a pure waste, anyway, our father and daughter couldn't understand the content above, your IQ is high, maybe you can really study a Tao." ”
I smiled helplessly: "If I had a high IQ, I wouldn't have to work in your dad's shop." ”
Next, Lu Qing said something that disgusted me, either disgusted with her, or simply disgusted with those words: "My dad said, you are very smart, but you just don't do it properly, as long as you put a little effort into it, you can do anything better than others." ”
You are very smart, but you don't want to work hard, as long as you put a little effort, you can be better than others.
It's the most terrible thing I've ever heard in my life, and I don't know how many people in the world have been hurt by it.
I was poisoned by it before, until the second master told me that in our industry, most people with outstanding talents did not have too high achievements. Until Pragmatism tells me that people can think that they are smart, which is self-confidence, but they cannot think that they are smarter than others, which is stupidity.
It is precisely because I have been poisoned that I know the value of the last two sentences.
I didn't show the disgust in my heart, but just said to Lu Qing: "When you go back to Bohai Bay one day, I will hand over the first half of the "Book of Luban" to you, and when the time comes, you can read the upper and lower volumes together, and you will be able to understand a lot of content that you can't understand originally." ”
Speaking of this, I paused for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then said the following words: "However, from the moment you finish reading the entire "Book of Luban", you are a person in our industry, so you must be mentally prepared. ”
Lu Qing's eyes flashed, and she asked me curiously, "What kind of business do you have?" What do you do? ”
"I'll tell you when you get back to Bohai Bay. When the time comes, you can decide for yourself whether you want to read the first half of the volume or not. ”
Although the content of the second half of the "Book of Luban" is easy to remember, the knowledge mixed in it is too complicated, and it is not something that can be read in a few minutes.
From this half volume of "Luban Book", I did find a spell used to restrain yin qi, and it also exudes a faint spiritual rhyme, presumably it is it, which has been protecting Lu Qing during this time.
By the time I re-rolled the paper roll and put it in the wooden box, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, during which Lu Qing had been blocking the gap between the front and passenger seats, preventing the people behind from seeing the contents of the wooden paper, so that even the afternoon class was delayed.
I handed the wooden box to Lu Qing, leaned my head back on the seat, closed my eyes, carefully reviewed what I had read before, and felt that there was nothing missing, so I opened my eyes and asked Lu Qing: "How do you go through the security check when you usually pass through the port?" ”
Lu Qing looked puzzled: "Is there a security check at the port?" Why didn't I find out? Only the ports that go out of the sea have security checks. ”
I think about it, there must be a security check on the side of Hai'an Port, but it is an internal port, and Lu Qing takes the ferry channel, which does not involve the risk of smuggling, and the wooden box is not a murder weapon, so there is no problem.
Seeing that Lu Qing had already put the wooden box into her schoolbag, I felt that I couldn't protect her completely with that small rune, so I took off the Tongling Jade around my neck and said to her: "You wear this thing for a while, and then return it to me when I leave Hainan." ”
This Tongling jade is almost useless to me now, but after all, it is a treasure passed down from generation to generation by the old family, of course I don't dare to give it away, I should take it back, I still have to take it back.
Lu Qing took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, and said with some surprise: "The color of this piece of jade is really good, it must be very expensive, right?" ”
Li Huaishan picked up the conversation: "It's definitely as expensive as you can't imagine." This thing has a calming effect, you wear it for two days first, adjust your sleep, but it likes yang and does not like yin, girls wear it for a long time, and it is not good for the body. ”
I saw that Lu Qing was a little embarrassed to accept it, so I smiled and said to her: "Take it, just borrow it from you for two days, and you will return it to me later." ”
She nodded and carefully hung the jade pendant around her neck.
Sun Luyuan came over and asked Lu Qing, "Do you still have classes?" ”
Lu Qing glanced at her watch and exclaimed on the spot: "It's over, it's so late!" I've got to go, and if you have time lately, you'll ...... Don't come to play with me, I still have a lot of homework to do. ”
Sun Luyuan smiled and waved at her: "It just so happens that we still have some problems, so we won't send you to school." ”
What else can we do? Why can't you send people back to school?
I had some doubts in my mind, but I didn't speak.
"Get in touch again." Lu Qing hurriedly shook off a sentence, quickly got out of the car, and went straight to the north gate of the school.
It wasn't until she walked away that I turned around and asked Sun Luyuan, "What are you planning?" ”
I saw Sun Luyuan raise his hand: "The things are ready, while there is still some time before nightfall, we have to find a quiet place to exorcise evil spirits for the little girl." ”
I squinted my eyes and looked closely at his fingers, only to see a few strands of hair wrapped around them.
These hairs must have been taken by Sun Luyuan from Lu Qing's clothes.
