The second volume of the Book of Lu Ban, which had puzzled Yan Shouyi for twenty years, finally revealed its mysterious veil under Yan Qiu's explanation.
Yan Qiu's words gave Yan Shouyi an enlightenment. A large amount of information poured into his mind, and the memories of his grandfather's education resurfaced.
I see!
If grandpa's inference is correct, then everything becomes reasonable.
Why do the descendants of Lu Ban need to protect the book of Lu Ban with all their strength?
Because the second volume of Luban's book is the hard work of Luban's descendants in the past, in their eyes, the second volume of Luban's book is simply thousands of times more important than some bullshit method of immortality! Even if you risk your life, you must protect it. And people's attention to Luban's descendants
, making outsiders mistakenly think that Luban
The secret of the book is the method of immortality. Although it has attracted the jealousy of countless people, the descendants of Luban still dare not make the truth about the second volume of the book of Luban public, because it also involves the relationship between the two factions. The famous sect will not let the world easily
Add a new sect.
Why is he the descendant of Luban?
Because among the folk sects, only the descendants of Lu Ban are the masters of the Baijia School! Outsiders only know that the descendants of Lu Ban secretly learned the skills of other sects, but they don’t know that they are learning from foreign sects to learn the skills of other sects.
Orthodox scripture!
No wonder... no wonder...
It took Yan Shouyi a while to fully digest this huge amount of information.
Now when he looked at the second volume of Lu Ban's Book, his eyes no longer had the greed that had been influenced by his inner demons.
Some are just admiration for their ancestors.
The second volume of the Book of Lu Ban was written with the blood, sweat and even lives of successive generations of Lu Ban’s descendants. It is a supreme treasure.
"But... Dad, what does the second volume of Lu Ban's book have to do with my mother?"
Although the truth in the second volume of Lu Ban's Book shocked him greatly, he couldn't think of anything to do with his mother even if he tried hard.
Yan Qiu recalled that distant and beautiful figure in his memory, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
"Your mother is a descendant of Lu Ban from another lineage. When I was young, although I also traveled around the world, your mother was different. She never used Lu Ban's ability to seek convenience for herself in front of ordinary people. She was like a
As a tourist, she has traveled all over the country and seen all the vicissitudes of the world. She never fights or robs her. Her biggest wish in this life is to perfect the second volume of Lu Ban's book."
"My mother and I met in the Tianchi of Changbai Mountain. That time, your Uncle Gou, Uncle Miaoji and Uncle Zou and I found out that there were water monsters in the Tianchi of Changbai Mountain, so we went to see it on a whim. Unexpectedly, we happened upon him painting by the Tianchi.
Your mother. I remember very clearly that your mother was wearing a white dress that day, and the breeze blew the hem of her dress, making it ripple like the clear water in the Tianchi Lake, or like clouds reflected on the water."
"Hey, a person will encounter countless people and things in his life, but there is always that one person who, just by looking at him, is destined for life."
I saw my father sinking deeper and deeper into memories, with a rare smile on his face.
Yan Shouyi was hesitant about whether to interrupt his father, because the Dog Taoist priest and the Miaoji monk were already covering their mouths and snickering "Kukukuku".
Presumably, several uncles were also present on the day when my parents met. That memory is also very beautiful in their memories.
Seemingly realizing that he had lost his composure, Yan Qiu coughed twice and adjusted his expression.
"Your mother and I fell in love at first sight, and she became pregnant with you not long after. I took her back to Chenjiacun to raise the baby. Before you were born, our family lived a very happy life."
"But after you were born, your mother and I had serious differences."
Hearing this, Yan Shouyi couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Growing up, my grandfather and father always said that my mother died in childbirth when giving birth to me, but now it seems that they were obviously lying.
Where has my mother gone? Is she still alive?
"I want a stable life, but your mother yearns for freedom. After she gave birth to you, she always wanted to leave Chenjiacun and continue her ideal of writing the second volume of Lu Ban's book. But because I didn't want to leave you with a wandering around,
When I was running away during my childhood, I hoped that my family could stay and live in Chenjiacun. Unfortunately, in the end, I couldn't keep her, and she left us and my son alone."
Yan Qiu's tone was filled with disappointment that could not be concealed.
Yan Shouyi was also stunned.
He thought about many possibilities, but he never thought that he and his father would be abandoned!
Damn it! Dad, you are so charming, my wife will definitely not abandon me like your wife!
Of course, Yan Shouyi only dared to think about these words in his head, and if he said them out loud, he would be asking for trouble.
Yan Qiu sighed lightly and said in a low voice: "After your mother left, there was no news again, and I was depressed because of it. Only after I learned what happened to my former comrades, I killed someone in anger, leaving you and everyone in the world behind.
Brother, he didn't care and deliberately locked himself in prison to avoid the mortal world. Those ten years were like an ascetic's ascetic practice to me."
With Yan Qiu's ability, it is not difficult to leave the prison. There are even a lot of people outside who want to get him out.
But he didn't want to. He was afraid of the outside world and didn't know how to face it, so he hid in the prison and lived a wild life, even eating up his body into a fat man.
Similarly, he also left Yan Shouyi behind for ten years.
"I'm sorry for you, and I'm sorry for your grandfather." Yan Qiu apologized to Yan Shouyi for the first time.
When he lowered his head, Yan Shouyi saw a few strands of white hair on his father's head. Only then did he realize that his father might be old too.
"Before my grandfather passed away, he asked someone to send me a message, hoping that I could go out and see him, but I didn't reply. This incident has become a lifelong guilt for me."
"But just when I was about to be released from prison, I received a letter, a letter from Changbai Mountain."
A letter from Changbai Mountain?
Yan Shouyi perked up. He could guess with his toes who the letter was from.
"You should have guessed that the letter was sent by your mother," Yan Qiu said softly. "In the letter, she said that she had almost completed the second volume of Lu Ban's book, but there were still four difficult problems that she could not solve.
Kai, you need my help."
"Because of this letter, I have rediscovered myself that I have lost for ten years. After leaving prison, I have been looking for the answers to those four questions, but so far, I have not been able to get the answers, so I have no shame in leaving.
Find your mother in Changbai Mountain."
"In the past three months in Rongcheng, I have been thinking about it. Then I suddenly realized that maybe the person who can answer this question is not me, but you."
"Shouyi, pack up and hit the road. Go to Changbai Mountain to meet your mother on my behalf, solve the four problems, bring back the second volume of Lu Ban's book to the folk sect, and bring back... everyone's hope."
