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 Chou's words gave Yan Shouyi an enlightenment. A large amount of information poured into his mind, and the memories of every bit 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 Lu Ban's Book is the hard work of Lu Ban's descendants throughout the generations, in their eyes, the second volume of Lu Ban'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. The attention people attached to Lu Ban's Book made outsiders mistakenly believe that the secret of Lu Ban's Book was the method of immortality. Although it attracted the jealousy of countless people, Lu Ban's Heir still did not dare to make the truth about the second volume of Lu Ban's Book public, because it also involved the relationship between the two factions. , a famous sect will not easily allow a new sect to be added to the world.
Why is he the descendant of Luban?
Because among the folk sects, only the descendants of Luban are the masters of hundreds of schools of thought! Outsiders only know that the descendants of Lu Ban secretly learned the skills of other sects, but they do not know that they are learning from the barbarians to learn skills. By understanding the teachings of other sects, they can compile orthodox scriptures suitable for folk sects!
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 ancestors and predecessors.
The second volume of the Book of Lu Ban was written with blood, sweat and even lives by 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, he couldn't think of anything to do with his mother.
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 abilities 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 competes for it. 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 was a water monster in the Tianchi of Changbai Mountain, so we went to see it on a whim. Unexpectedly, we came across 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, rippling like the clear water of Tianchi, and like clouds reflected on the water."
"Hey, a person will meet countless people and things in his life, but there is always one person who, just by looking at him or her, is destined for life."
I saw my father sinking deeper and deeper into memories, with a rare smile on his face.
Yan Shouyi hesitated 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 mom and dad 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 giving birth to you, 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 don't want to leave you a wandering around When I was running away during my childhood, I hoped that my whole 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!
Holy shit! Dad, you are not very charming. My wife will definitely not abandon me like your wife!
Of course, Yan Shouyi only dared to think about this in his mind, and if he said it out loud, he would be asking for trouble.
Yan Qiu sighed lightly and whispered: "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. My brother 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 himself didn't want to. He was afraid of the outside world and didn't know how to face it, so he hid in prison and lived a wild life, even eating 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 Chou 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 once 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 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, and then I suddenly understood 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."
