Chapter 56: The Book of Luban
I was slightly stunned and hurriedly asked, "Then what are they for?" ”
Daddy Niu shook his head, did not answer, sighed, turned around and entered the house, and several of us hurriedly followed.
After entering the house, Daddy Niu told us that the real purpose of the white-faced posterior who led the middle-aged man here was actually for a strange book!
Niu Fatzi's ancestors for three generations, all of them were born as carpenters, and when it comes to carpenters, we have to mention the carpenter ancestor - Lu Ban, Lu Ban's real name is Gong Lose Ban, because he is a native of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period, so he is called Lu Ban by later generations. It is said that he was not only able to build palaces and pavilions, but also built ladders, gouqiang and other siege equipment and boat stations in the era of frequent conquests. Even wooden machines that are almost automated have been manufactured, and it can be said that they have reached a state of supernatural status. Therefore, it is also known as the saint of machinery, and for thousands of years, he has been regarded as the common ancestor of carpentry, masonry, mason and other craft departments, and respects him as Lu Banye.
In fact, in addition to being a master builder, this Lu Banye also has another little-known identity, that is, a feng shui yin and yang magician. Lu Ban was the first person to combine feng shui mystics with architectural art, and he had a high attainment in feng shui mystics, for which he once wrote a book of metaphysics - "Luban Book".
The Book of Luban is divided into two volumes, the upper volume is some spells and charms for the whole person, and the second volume is the solution and some medical spells. It is said that the various spells recorded in the "Book of Luban" are all derived from the book of heavenly seals written by the Nine Heavens Xuannu - "Dragon Armor Divine Chapter", which is a heavenly machine, and the so-called heavenly machine cannot be revealed, so those who practice the "Book of Luban" will suffer a vicious curse, and there must be one of the widows, widows, orphans, loneliness, and cripples, and the "Book of Luban" has also given another title - missing a door.
For this reason, there are not many people who have the courage to practice the "Book of Luban" from ancient times to the present, and over time, this strange book has gradually disappeared, especially the next volume, which is almost impossible to find in the world. However, Niu Fatzi's great-grandfather got a copy by chance by chance.
The book was given by a former Qing old eunuch when he was dying, because he knew about the curse of the "Luban Book", Niu Fatzi's great-grandfather did not dare to look at it, and left an ancestral teaching, and children and grandchildren are not allowed to read this book, but after all, he remembered that this book was written by the carpenter ancestor Lu Ban, and it is very likely to be the only surviving book, so he regarded it as a family heirloom, passed down from generation to generation, and now it has been passed on to Niu Fatzi's father.
I punched the white-faced descendant, called Niu Shaohua, and Niu Fat is a relative, if it is about generation, than Niu Fatzi is a generation, his grandfather and Niu Fatzi's great-grandfather are cousins, however, the two families did not have any contact before, and I don't know where Niu Shaohua learned about Niu Fatzi's family to pass down such a strange book, half a year ago, he has been working in the provincial capital He suddenly came back, found Niu Fatzi and his father, and said to buy a book, offering 10,000 yuan.
Because this book is a family heirloom, Niu Fatzi's father naturally does not sell it, and he does not admit that the book is still in his hands, only saying that it has been confiscated and burned during the Cultural Revolution. But Niu Shaohua didn't believe it, and still ran to Niu Fatzi's house every now and then, using both soft and hard, and tried all kinds of means to force Niu Fatzi's father to hand over the book, but Niu Fatzi's father was also stubborn and refused to agree.
Who knew that this guy actually got an IOU of 8,000 yuan, saying that Niu Fatzi's mother borrowed it from his family ten years ago, and the IOU was written with two cents of interest, and now it has to be repaid nearly 100,000 yuan even with interest. It is obviously impossible for Niu Fatzi's family to come up with such a large sum of money, and more importantly, Niu Fatzi's mother has been away from home for seven or eight years, and now he is missing, and there is no way to prove the authenticity of this IOU, so he and his father naturally will not admit this debt.
But Niu Shaohua didn't give up, no, before the Spring Festival ended, he called a middle-aged man named Wen Qingshan, saying that he was the one who wanted to buy "Luban Book". Wen Qingshan promised that as long as Niu Fatzi's father was willing to take out the "Book of Luban", he was not only willing to help his family repay the huge debt, but also give his family an additional 50,000 yuan.
The conditions were very tempting, but Niu Fat's father still didn't agree, so they quarreled in the house just now.
Of course, even if this kind of thing is replaced by me, it is impossible to agree, just take the book "Yin and Yang Mystic" passed on to me by the master, even if someone pays a high price, I will not sell it, not to mention that Niu Shaohua's kid is still such a yin trick.
After listening to the story of the fat man and his father, I and the cheap were angry, and the cheap immediately took out his mobile phone and said that he wanted to call the police, but the fat man and his father stopped the cheap. In his opinion, no matter how close he is to Niu Shaohua, there is no need to make a big deal about it, and Niu Shaohua will not really do anything to him, not to mention that today is still the first day of the Lunar New Year, if the police are found, it is really unlucky. Think about it, after all, it's the New Year, so this matter will be put aside for the time being.
What none of us expected was that because of such a wonderful book, a disaster was about to befall this already very unfortunate family.
On the evening of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, about seven o'clock, we suddenly received a call from Niu Fat from the hospital, and he told me with a crying voice: his father was attacked, his brain was seriously injured, his skull was ruptured, and now the situation is very critical, and he must do craniotomy as soon as possible, but he does not have so much money to pay for medical expenses, and the hospital does not give rescue, so let us help think of a way.
When I heard this, I hurriedly told Huang Yixian about it, although Huang Yixian is stingy on weekdays and regards money as his life, but if he encounters a major event that is vital to his life, he is never ambiguous.
He immediately took all the more than 20,000 yuan of cash left in the family with him, and brought a bank card, and rushed to the hospital with the two of us, and called his friend who was the vice president of the hospital on the way, asking him to help arrange the operation immediately.
When we arrived at the hospital, Daddy Niu had been sent to the operating room for rescue, and the fat man was wandering back and forth outside the door of the operating room, so anxious.
As soon as he saw us, he immediately greeted us, and without saying a word, he was about to kneel down for Huang Yixian, Huang Yixian hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and said: "The man has gold under his knees, don't do this!" Or what's going on with your dad now? ”
The fat cow sobbed and said, "It's ...... Rescuing, I don't know how yet...... Uncle Huang, I'm so scared, I'm ...... Will my dad ......?" he began to cry before he could finish his sentence.
Huang Yixian hurriedly patted him lightly on the shoulder and comforted, "Don't worry! I have already told Dean Liu of the hospital that the most Haode doctors are arranged, and your father will be fine. ”
I asked, "What happened?" ”
Niu Fat replied: "Today I went to work in the factory, and as soon as I got home from work, I ...... Just see ...... See my dad and he...... He fell into the house, and the ground was everywhere...... There was blood everywhere ......."
I asked, "Do you know who did it!?" ”
Niu Fatman immediately became excited: "It must be Niu Shaohua's guy!" My father refused to sell the "Book of Luban" to him, so he poisoned my father! ”
"What!? What the hell did this guy!? Fuck, gotta get him out! As he spoke, he immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed 110.
The police soon arrived and helped Niu Fat make a record, saying that they would investigate the truth of the matter as soon as possible.
Two hours later, the fat man and his father were pushed out of the operating room, and they saw that his face was covered with a white towel, and everyone immediately understood what this meant. The fat cow threw himself on his father and began to cry.
The chief surgeon shook his head and said to Huang Yixian: "Master Huang, we have tried our best, but his injuries are too serious, and he has a massive intracranial hemorrhage. ”
Niu Fat's father just left, leaving Niu Fat Man alone. Because Niu Fatzi's family is a foreigner, he has no relatives in the county, so Huang Yixian came forward and took care of the funeral for his father.
As for Niu Shaohua and Wen Qingshan, the police found them separately the next day. However, both of them had alibi on the day of the crime, and the police thought that the murder for the sake of a so-called strange book was really a bit unbelievable, and in view of the lack of evidence, they were finally acquitted.
But Niu Fatzi decided that Niu Shaohua and Wen Qingshan did the thing, because he searched all corners of the house and failed to find the "Luban Book", which seemed to mean that the book had been taken away. And the only people who know that he has such a magnificent book hidden in his house are the two of them!
He planned to go to Niu Shaohua for revenge himself, and was ready to die with him, and even quit his job in the cement factory. When he came to Qibao Zhai to say goodbye to us, I was startled with the cheap, so we finally persuaded him to stop him. However, we were worried that if he returned home alone, he was afraid that he would still do something stupid, plus he had quit his job and had nowhere else to go, so he discussed with Huang Yixian, hoping to let him live in Qibaozhai temporarily, and he could also help Zhai Bo do something on weekdays, Huang Yixian thought about it and felt that there was no harm in helping multiple people, so he agreed.
Niu Fatzi temporarily stayed in Qibaozhai, because Huang Yixian not only helped pay his father's surgery fee, but also helped take care of his father's funeral, Niu Fatzi originally felt that he owed Huang Yixian a lot of favors, and now he lived in Qibaozhai, he was a little unhappy, so he helped Zhai Bo do some chores in the shop.
Two days have passed, this evening, Niu Fat Man was helping Zhai Bo close the door of the store, a white Toyota off-road suddenly stopped opposite the store, got off the car and went straight to Qibao Zhai, and Niu Fat Man saw the person, rushed forward to do it, fortunately Zhai Bo was fast, and he was pulled away.
