"At that time, the descendants of the Liu family found out that the Lu Ban Ruler in the Lu Ban Chi was in the hands of a descendant of Yang Jiupong, and they were relieved. However, they did not expect that the Tan family was also looking for five pieces of Lu Ban Chi, and they also found the Yang family.

So, a big battle began."

When Qin Shaonan said this, he suddenly sighed, "Your uncle was entrusted by the descendants of the Liu family to help the Yang family to dig out and break up Yan. As a result, he ended up with his life for this!"

The Li family's Luban Shu and woodworking skills were passed on to the Ma family in the late Qing Dynasty, as well as some old Huangli.

Because the male ancestors never lived past the age of sixty, Li Cangshan, the 34th generation descendant of the Li family, made a legacy in the first year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (186): starting from the grandchildren, future generations are not allowed to engage in carpentry. In fact,

Above, it was stipulated that the descendants of the Li family could no longer touch Luban Shu.

In the 10th year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1871), the 35th generation of the Li family, Li Cangshan's son Li Weihua, before going to the American mainland to pan for gold, he followed his father's instructions - his next generation could no longer be carpenters.

However, the Li family's skills had to be passed on, so Li Weihua accepted a disciple, Ma Guocheng, and passed on the Li family's Lu Ban Shu and carpentry skills to him. From then on, the Li family's family tradition was cut off and transferred to Ma Guocheng.

In the hands of the family.

After Li Cangshan and Li Weihua arrived in the North American continent, they continued to engage in the carpentry trade and opened the Lever Wood Factory in the Punal Valley of New York. This created another foundation for the Li family in North America, which needs no further elaboration.

In the sixth year of Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1880), Ma Guocheng's son Ma Lvzong was born. Ma Lvzong was extremely talented. After the Li family cut off the family lineage, he carried forward the Li family's 900-year-old Luban Shu inheritance and carpentry skills, and became the leader of the Bashu carpenter faction.

people.

Ma Lvzong was also a martial arts prodigy who frequently interacted with and learned from the masters of Bajiquan, Baguaquan and Xingyiquan. He was inspired by Guo Yunshen, the master of Xingyiquan, and combined with carpenter skills to create Ma's Qingmuquan and Tongzi Kung Fu.

Shocked the land of Bashu.

Ma Carpenter's life experience is full of legends. He was once a guest of Zhang Zhidong, an important official in the late Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang, and he built woodwork for Zhang and Li's ancestral halls.

During the Beiyang Government, Yuan Shikai and Duan Qirui were his employers. Later warlords Wu Peifu, Yan Xishan, and Feng Guozhang also asked him to build thrones. The great warlords in central Sichuan, Liu Wenhui, and his brothers Liu Wencai even regarded him as a distinguished guest.

, let him work for the Liu family for a long time.

When he was traveling in the rivers and lakes, by chance, he became the old man of Liu Xirong, the last elder of the Qinggang with the word "heart" who lived in seclusion.

Therefore, during the Republic of China, Ma Luzong was the highest-ranking elder among the three sects of the Qinggang, Hongmen, and Tianli Sect (White Lotus Sect). He was also Du Yuesheng, who dominated the world of business ten miles away in Dashan. Huang Jinrong would call him "Master Zu Gong" when he saw him.

.

Including his son, Ma Lvzong had four apprentices in total. After his son Ma Chaohua, there were his second apprentice Wan Xiaorong, his third apprentice Qin Shaonan, and his fourth apprentice Gao Zhankui.

Regarding the seniority issue between Ma Lv Zong and the Li family, in fact, Ma Lv Zong’s master, Li Weihua, who had lived in the United States for more than 20 years, had a son in 1901 when he was nearly fifty years old. He was the thirty-sixth member of the Li family.

Descendant Li Jiyong.

Following the instructions from his ancestors, Li Jiyong stopped working as a carpenter when he became an adult, and instead concentrated on running the Lihua Wood Factory.

In 195, Li Jiyong's son Li Chun, the 37th generation descendant of the Li family, was born. Shortly after Li Chun was born, the United States encountered the "Great Depression", and the Lihua Wood Factory closed down for a time. The Li family lived in poverty at that time.

Li Chun was therefore full of yearning for the land of China where his ancestors lived.

In September 1945, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, 0-year-old Li Chun returned to China and met his successor, Ma Lvzong, the successor of the Li family. Ma Lvzong was already 65 years old at the time.

Unable to bear Li Chun's entreaties, Ma Lvzong passed on his carpentry skills to Li Chun. There was a forty-five-year age difference between the two, but they were of the same generation. Ma Lvzong and Li Chun were considered "senior brothers".

After the end of World War II, various industries in the United States were waiting for prosperity, and various industries needed a large number of hard-working craftsmen. At this time, the Lever Wood Factory was also struggling due to the lack of excellent carpenters. Li Jiyong thought of Ma Lv Zong, the successor of the Li family carpenters.

In 1948, Li Jiyong returned to China and found an important person from his nephew Ma Lvzong. Ma Lvzong asked his third apprentice Qin Shaonan to go to the United States with him. After Li Jiyong communicated with the US Consulate, the then 19-year-old Qin Shaonan was chartered to go to the United States as a "Chinese worker with professional skills in urgent need of the United States Federation".

beautiful.

After Qin Shaonan arrived in the United States, he participated in the construction of many infrastructure projects by the U.S. federal government on the east coast. Qin Shaonan's woodworking skills were recognized by relevant parties in the United States. In 1955, Qin Shaonan obtained the status of a permanent U.S. citizen.

In 1955, Li Jiyong transferred half of the shares of Lihua Wood Factory to Qin Shaonan. Under the management of the two people, Lihua Wood Factory rose rapidly in the Punal Valley. In the 1960s and 1970s, its business was booming on the east coast of North America.

Extremely momentary.

At this time, Li Jiyong's son Li Chun also returned to New York from China. It is unknown whether he violated his ancestor's instructions. After Li Chun worked as a carpenter for several years, his numerology caught up with his ancestor's fate - short life.

In 1958, Li Chun died in a car accident in the United States. He was only 57 years old. Li Jiyong was already 57 years old. He lost his wife in middle age and lost his son in old age. Not to mention that he only had Li Chun as his descendant. Li Jiyong was devastated.

.

In 1959, 58-year-old Li Jiyong remarried a Chinese woman in the United States, naturally to continue the Li family lineage. In the same year, his wife gave birth to a daughter, Li Lin, for whom he had no children.

Li Jiyong died at his home in New York in 1988 at the age of 81. He was the oldest descendant of the Li family in 900 years, and the only descendant who had never been a carpenter. He died peacefully, because the roots of the Li family were not cut off——

In 1980, 1-year-old Li Lin gave birth to the 38th generation descendant of the Li family - Li Ling, the child's father, in New York. At that time, he was far away in China on the other side of the ocean.

Li Lin's relationship and marriage were full of tragedy and misfortune. She never told Li Ling about it, and even Qin Shaonan didn't know much about it.

Because of their seniority, Qin Shaonan always respectfully called Li Lin, who was thirty years younger than him, "Sister Aunt". Naturally, when she was still wearing crotchless pants, Li Ling called Qin Shaonan, who was more than fifty years older than him, "Third Senior Brother"

”.

Qin Song, Qin Feng, Qin Tong, and Qin Ying all call Li Ling, who is younger than themselves, "Uncle Master" based on their seniority.

Back in May 1948, the 68-year-old Ma Lvzong was already a world-famous and respected carpenter. On that day, the descendants of the Liu family found him and asked him to help the descendants of the Yang family solve a fortune.

During the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, and the Republic of China, Liu Bowen's descendants were all world-respected leaders of charlatans and magicians. Ma Lvzong was also one of the best carpenters in Lu Ban Shu in the world at that time. Naturally, he had close contacts with the descendants of the Liu family.

It turned out that after the Liu family discovered that Yang Junsong's descendants had the Luban Ruler in Luban Chizhong, not long after, someone came to the Yang family, hoping that the Yang family could sell the Luban Ruler to them, and they paid whatever the Yang family asked for.

They will never counteroffer.

Of course the Yang family refused, and then their nightmare came.

The descendants of the Yang family inherited the Feng Shui Kanyu family tradition from their ancestors, and they were not familiar with Lu Ban Shu. Moreover, Lu Ban Shu has been considered as "the art of exterminating descendants" since ancient times, so none of the descendants of the Yang family practiced Lu Ban Shu.

who.

Therefore, when they were tricked, all the members of the Yang family suffered disasters, whether they were killed or caught in fires. It was a series of disasters, but they were helpless and had no choice but to ask for help from the Liu family.

Although the descendants of the Liu family also practiced Luban Shu, they thought they were not good enough, so they invited the famous carpenter Quanzhang Mo in Bashu at that time and the master of Luban Shu - Ma Lvzong to come out.

After Ma Lvzong came to Yang's house, he searched for several days before finally digging out the fortune teller. He could tell at a glance that the fortune teller was from the Tan family, so he smoked the treasure with cypress leaves and tung oil.

Frying, the carpenter of the Tan family who was making calculations was dying.

When he learned that Ma Lvzong had come out of the mountain, the head carpenter of the Tan family, Tan Tiande, came to the rescue in person. He came to Ma Lvzong's house and put down a "fence"——

There is no need to go into the house to bury the treasures. You only need to circle around the fence of Ma's house to make calculations - the fence will add scars when you leave the door. Anyone who goes out from Ma's house will fall after passing this fence. If they don't fall, they will fall.

The disease is riddled with scars, the legs are broken and the limbs are broken.

Ma Lvzong's son Ma Chaohua broke his leg because of this calculation and became a lame.

Ma Lvzong was both sad and angry. After digging out the "fence", he found that breaking it would not help because Tan Tiande had added a self-destructive curse to the object.

Ma Lvzong did not secretly play tricks on the Tan family, but used the extremely advanced "Ming Yan Technique" in the carpentry's Yan Sheng Art - that is, exposing the Yan Sheng Town objects to the light, so that they can be washed away without burying them.

Evil Lord.

Ma Lvzong asked his apprentice to make a coffin. There was a small puppet in the coffin. Tan Tiande's birth date was engraved on the puppet. The coffin was carried into the Tan family yard with the big end facing outward and the small end facing inward (meaning to collect the corpse for burial. The coffin

If the big head is facing in and the small head is facing out, it means promotion and wealth).

Because of the Ming Yan technique, Ma Luzong had people carry the coffin to the Tan family. The Tan family did not dare to move it away. Anyone who moved forward and touched the coffin would be cursed immediately.

But if the coffin is not moved and another fortune teller is taken out, Tan Tiande will be cursed - the puppet with the birth date of Tan Tiande carved on it is a curse for Tan Tiande to enter the coffin!

If this plot is not solved as soon as possible and the coffin is left in the yard for more than seven days, Tan Tiande will really get into the coffin.

After all, Tan Tiande was also a great carpenter in Luban Shu who was no less skilled than Ma Lu Zong. Of course he knew that this was the Ming Yan Technique used by Ma Lu Zong, and to understand Ming Yan, one had to endure hardships.

Since Ma Luzong wanted to curse himself into the coffin, he asked his apprentice to hang himself from the beam without his feet touching the ground. However, the method of tying the rope and the position of strangling the throat were very particular - this was also a kind of

Luban Shu is called "hanging alive". It looks like people are hanging, but it doesn't cause death at all.

As long as you hang from the beam of the house without your feet touching the ground for three days and three nights, without a drop of water sticking to it, or a grain of rice entering, your destiny of the three realms and five elements will be gone in these three days, and you will be considered as having been in a coffin once.

This will allow you to avoid the disaster of "being tired of being in a coffin".

After avoiding the evil spirit of Mingyan, he can defeat Ma Luzong's Mingyan trick. Tan Tiande vowed to let Ma Luzong fall on this coffin of Mingyan - let him enter the coffin!

But Tan Tiande was still inferior to Ma Lu Zong after all - Ma Lu Zong not only put Ming Yan on this coffin, but also used live disgust -

The puppet was hollowed out and contained a live mouse!

In the Luban Woodworking Wean Sheng Technique, there are extremely complicated classifications of light weariness, dark weariness, living weariness, death weariness, etc. To cast the living weariness, you must use the Luban spell to control living creatures, and you can only cast hate on living creatures of the twelve zodiac signs.

Life-weary is another extremely advanced type of weariness-wearing art in Luban's art, in addition to Mingyan, which even Luban magicians who have not mastered the level of cultivation dare not try.

And even Tan Tiande didn't notice this boredom.

The mouse was blessed with the Luban Living and Disgusting Curse by Ma Lu Zong, causing it to sleep during the day and only wake up at midnight - the cover at the bottom of the puppet was so fragile that the mouse could knock it out with a single bump.

Does this mouse wake up in the middle of the night to steal food?

No, it has to climb up the beam and bite the rope.

Ma Luzong had already expected that Tan Tiande would "hang himself alive" to avoid the bright and evil effects he had cast. Therefore, the Luban curse he cast on the rat was to make it climb to the beam and chew the rope loose.

.

The knotting method of the rope in Lu Ban's "hanging alive" is very particular, but this also just provides an opportunity for this mouse to get bored.

But it was said that Tan Tiande was hung from the beam of his house that day to avoid the light and evil. When it was midnight, the rat woke up, smashed the puppet, crawled out, and climbed to the beam where Tan Tiande was hanging.

Then loosen a slip knot on the sling.

Originally, Tan Tiande's body weight was held on three sides by the "living hanging" rope knotting technique, so the rope tied around his throat would not suffocate him at all.

But after the life-weary rat bit off a slip-knot, the rope was loosened, and Tan Tiande sank down. All of his body weight was suddenly borne on the middle rope, and the rope suddenly strangled his throat...

That night, Tan Tiande's family and apprentices sat under the beams and kept vigil, but at midnight they were all dozing off. Tan Tiande couldn't make any sound because the rope had tightened his throat, and his hands could not tear apart the solid brown hair.

The rope can only swing violently.

When one of the disciples woke up after noticing something strange, Tan Tiande had already rolled his eyes, stuck out his tongue, and died.

"The Tan family lost the Lu Ban Shu to our master, and it cost Tan Tiande his life. Of course, my senior brother was also badly harmed by Tan Tiande's 'fence-wearing' and almost lost his life. Although he was snatched back,

I'm left with a lame leg." Qin Shaonan sighed heavily when he said this.

"At this time, Tan Tiande's younger brother, Tan Tianli, came back from other places after learning about his brother's accident. None of us expected that this Tan Tianli actually practiced an extremely vicious and terrifying evil technique, and our master fell into the trap.
