Chapter 5

Yan Shou left.

Huang Hai returned to the construction site angrily.

Zhang Guodong pulled Huang Hai aside and asked: "Master Huang, that Master Yan is young and has great abilities. You are also a member of Xuanmen. Do you know his origins?"

Huang Hai glanced at Zhang Guodong and said in a deep voice: "I dare to say it, but I'm afraid you won't dare to listen."

This master's demeanor has penetrated into Huang Hai's bones. At this time, he didn't look like he was nodding and bowing in front of Yan Shouyi before.

Seeing Huang Hai looking like he wanted to keep it a secret, Zhang Guodong felt even more itchy.

Although he also respected Huang Hai, Huang Hai had failed once before, and now that he had seen Yan Shouyi, who was even more powerful, Zhang Guodong thought that it would be better to win over Yan Shouyi than to curry favor with Huang Hai.

Yan Shouyi seems to be quite honest, and he looks to be about the same age as his daughter who has just entered college. If he can match him...

Zhang Guodong is still very confident about his daughter who is studying in art school. Yan Shouyi looks stunned at first glance and will definitely not be able to control her.

Huang Hai is also a good person and can tell what Zhang Guodong is thinking at a glance.

He said sincerely: "Mr. Zhang, I've said something ugly before. I'm not worried about being robbed of my job by Brother Yan. It's because I felt guilty about you before that I reminded you - a strange person like Brother Yan,

A family with no background really cannot afford his son-in-law."

"What, what do you mean?" Zhang Guodong asked puzzledly.

"Have Mr. Zhang ever heard of Lu Ban?"

"Of course, as a shooter, his ultimate move is good, but he has no displacement skills and his skin is too brittle."

"..."

Huang Hai said angrily: "It's not the Luban No. 7 in the game, it's a real master craftsman who has appeared in our history!"

Lu Ban was a native of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period. He was born into a family of craftsmen for generations. He followed his family in many civil construction projects since he was a child. When he grew up, he traveled to various countries and created countless tools and equipment. The saws still used by carpenters today are

The ink fountain, curved ruler, as well as the ladders and hooks used in ancient wars were all made by Lu Ban.

Lu Ban is known as the ancestor of civil craftsmen and a truly famous master.

But what is truly mysterious are the miraculous skills recorded by Lu Ban in unofficial history!

Legend has it that Lu Ban traveled around the country and learned many skills from the people, and finally wrote a book called "The Book of Lu Ban". This book has three volumes, the upper, middle and lower volumes. The first volume only records the general knowledge of civil and architectural structures, while the middle volume records Feng Shui.

Spells, medical skills, physiognomy and other strange contents.

As for this most mysterious second volume, except for the real descendants of Lu Ban, no one knows what is recorded in it.

The descendants of Luban are often passed down from a single line, and are passed down from male to female. After experiencing the baptism of history, the descendants of Luban have long disappeared. The miraculous skills of Luban back then may have been lost. Today's carpenters can inherit the miraculous skills of Luban.

One out of ten can already be called a "craftsman" or a "master".

Huang Hai explained, and Zhang Guodong barely understood: "You mean, little brother Yan is a descendant of Luban?"

"He did not admit it, but according to my speculation, he is definitely the descendant of Lu Ban and has not escaped!" Huang Hai said with great certainty, "Except for the descendants of Lu Ban, no one can use the Taishan Stone to exert such power!"

Zhang Guodong didn't understand or understand things in Xuanmen. He only cared about why he couldn't recruit Yan Shouyi as his son-in-law.

Huang Hai further explained: "In the final analysis, Lu Ban was a carpenter. In the past, he was bullied by the lower class. Therefore, in order not to be bullied, Lu Ban's descendants added many useful features to the middle volume of "The Book of Lu Ban" in the later revisions.

Harmful black

Magic and magic! So there is a legend. Because of the evil of the Luban book, the Luban religion has become one of the unique religions among the folk teachings. As a result, every descendant of Luban is a lone star of the evil spirits. As long as they learn it, there will definitely be retribution.

The so-called retribution is five shortcomings and three shortcomings!"

"The five disadvantages and the three deficiencies refer to a numerology theory. The so-called five disadvantages refer to 'widower, widowed, lonely, alone, and disabled'. The three deficiencies simply mean the three deficiencies of 'wealth, life, and power', regardless of Yan.

No matter what the little brother chooses, it doesn’t matter.

It's something that an ordinary family can afford. From what I see, little brother Yan, one of the three shortcomings must be a lack of wealth. If Mr. Zhang recruits him as his son-in-law, it won't be long before your family wealth is wiped out by him.

Already."

As soon as Zhang Guodong heard this, he changed his mind.

Although Yan Shouyi was capable, he was not worthy of Zhang Guodong's fortune.

It would be more practical to send someone to help Yan Shouyi find the fortune teller named Chen Dawei so that he could owe him a favor.

"I never thought that I would have the opportunity to meet a living descendant of Lu Ban in this life. If I told the great uncle and the others about this, no one would believe it, right?" Huang Hai said to himself, feeling quite emotional.





Rongcheng is the capital of Jianzhou Province and is named after the banyan trees that fill the city.

At six o'clock in the morning, under a big banyan tree on the street, the breakfast stall was very busy, and Yan Shouyi was among them.

He gnawed two hot Mala cakes and drank a large bowl of sweet soy milk before walking into a small hotel on the roadside with satisfaction.

After helping Zhang Guodong, Huang Hai and others deal with the matter on the river bank yesterday, Yan Shouyi walked into the city alone and waited until dawn before he found this place to stay.

Don't ask him why he doesn't take a taxi, it's because he is poor.

The small hotel we stayed in was also very cheap, only thirty yuan a night.

The eighty yuan that Wu Yuchun gave Yan Shouyi was only enough for Yan Shouyi to spend two days. If Chen Dawei was still not found in two days, Yan Shouyi would have to sleep on the street.

If it doesn't work, Yan Shouyi has another way.

That was the second purpose of his coming to Rongcheng this time: to find a wife.

When Yan Shou was a child, his father committed a crime and was imprisoned, so he lived with his grandfather. He traveled all over the country with his grandfather for so many years. This skill was taught by his grandfather.

In the second year after his father was imprisoned, Yan Shouyi followed his grandfather to Rongcheng. At a house with two ginkgo trees in the courtyard, his grandfather arranged a marriage for him.

When the children grow up, Yan Shouyi can come to propose marriage to their girl.

A month ago, when his grandfather was on his deathbed, he specifically reminded Yan Shouyi of this matter and told him to settle the marriage after arriving in Rongcheng. However, Yan Shouyi didn't take it to heart particularly. Nowadays, society is very strict.

Free love, parents' orders and matchmaker's words no longer work, not to mention that it has been so many years, it is strange that the other party can agree.

However, Yan Shouyi didn't really expect to get a wife like this from the beginning, but if he still didn't find Chen Dawei after two days, he hoped to stay at that family's house for a few days, and by the way, he would get rid of this ridiculous marriage.

Once it is dealt with, no matter whether it succeeds or not, it has finally fulfilled one of Grandpa's last wishes.

Yan Shouyi returned to the small hotel. As soon as he lay down on the bed, he felt a wave of sleepiness coming over him, and soon he started snoring evenly.

He had a dream, dreaming of an ancient battlefield littered with corpses. He was holding a sharp sword, with an abyss in front of him, and thousands of troops behind him... Those people seemed to be here to kill him.

During this sleep, Yan Shou slept until the sun went down.

Writing Taishan Shi Gandang with his blood last night really consumed some of Yan Shouyi's energy, so he needed such a long period of sleep to recover.

After waking up, Yan Shouyi took out a compass from his satchel as a habit.

The brown compass has a simple appearance and is made of the finest golden nanmu. Some places have been covered with patina, and the words on it are a little blurry, but Yan Shouyi doesn't care, because every detail on this compass, he

They all know everything.

It is Yan Shouyi's habit to calculate a hexagram for himself every day.

Yan Shou was seen gently turning the compass in one hand and muttering something in his mouth, but it was not a spell, but rather he seemed to be calculating something.

After a while, Yan Shou frowned and said to himself: "How can it be a bad hexagram? And it will also lead to prison!"

Is it because I saved someone's life last night?

Yan Shouyi felt a headache. There would be retribution for forcibly changing other people's lives, but Yan Shouyi did not expect that retribution would come so quickly.

But, if I abide by the law, how could I be put in jail?

At worst, I'll just hide in the hotel and not go out until the bad luck dissipates.

While Yan Shouyi was thinking, there was a knock on the door suddenly. Yan Shouyi went to open the door and saw a fat middle-aged aunt standing outside the door, who seemed to be the proprietress of this hotel.

The landlady took a look at Yan Shouyi, and when she saw that he was full of energy, her eyes lit up: "Young man, do you want some fast food?"

Yan Shou was stunned. He had slept all day and happened to feel hungry. He nodded without thinking much: "Eat, where can we eat?"

"You wait in the room, I will bring it to you in a moment." The landlady smiled brightly, squinting her eyes as if to imply something, she personally opened the door for Yan Shou and went downstairs.

Yan Shouyi returned to his room and was puzzled. Not only did this small hotel provide fast food, but was it also willing to deliver it to his door?

"Grandpa said it was difficult for people in the city to do business. I didn't expect it to get to this point. The service in a small hotel is so considerate..."
