Yang Kun replied: "During the great movement in the 1960s and 1970s, the descendants of the Yang family were devastated, and the descendants of the Yang family in the house where Lu Ban Ruler was preserved almost lost their heirs.

"In addition, there were still many people and forces looking for the Luban ruler in the hands of the descendants of the Yang family. Therefore, the head of the Yang family decided to hand over the Luban ruler to the descendants of Ma Luzong, a great carpenter in Sichuan and Chongqing, or Liu

The descendants of the family keep it because the two families joined forces with the Yang family decades ago to protect the Luban Ruler from being looted by outsiders.

"However, the descendants of the Liu family were also affected by that movement, and they also crossed the river with the Clay Bodhisattva, so the descendants of the Yang family went to find the descendants of the Ma family.

"But the descendants of the Ma family believe that it is extremely unsafe to preserve the Luban Ruler in China, because there are as many charlatans looking for it as crucian carp crossing the river.

"They suggested that the Yang family transfer the Luban ruler overseas and hand it over to Qin Shaonan, a great Chinese carpenter who was very famous on the east coast of North America at that time.

"Then, a descendant of the Yang family wore a Luban ruler and traveled across the ocean to the United States through all kinds of hardships, just to find Carpenter Qin and deliver the treasure.

"It was already the late 1970s, and Sino-US relations had not completely thawed. No one knew how the descendant of the Yang family came to the United States, but he did not meet Carpenter Qin."

Li Ling was shocked when he heard this. It turned out that this Luban ruler had such a connection with his uncle Ma Jia and his third senior brother Qin Shaonan.

Then he asked: "As a result, the Tang family got the Lu Ban Ruler?"

"Yes." Yang Kun nodded blankly, "This makes our Yang family very puzzled."

"Sure enough, I read it right. When I was in New York, I saw a God's Blessing pattern on your forehead, which shows that your ancestors did have noble people who received their destiny from heaven." Li Ling sighed, "You are indeed a master of Feng Shui.

Descendants of Grand Master Yang Jiupong!"

"This is nothing worth showing off. Otherwise, we, the descendants of the Yang family, would not have been so miserable. Especially me, who fled to the United States like a lost dog, and ended up like this!"

"It is destiny that is determined by fate. Who can say accurately? How can we know that it is not the blessing that brings misfortune, and the misfortune that blessing relies on?" Li Ling shook his head,

"Your experience has indeed been full of ups and downs, so let's talk about the current matter first. How did the Tang family get that Luban ruler?

Yang Kun said: "At that time, the descendant of the Yang family who escorted Lu Banchi smuggled to the United States and lost contact with the Yang family soon after. It was more than ten years later that we learned that he had already died in the United States.

"We don't know how he died. The whereabouts of the Luban ruler has also become a secret. Due to the communication conditions at that time, he was isolated from the world across the Pacific Ocean.

“From the late 1970s until 1991, when I smuggled myself to the United States, the Luban ruler disappeared for nearly fifteen years.

"It was after I smuggled into the United States and Xiaoxue died tragically that I was about to become my teacher and learn the Lu Ban technique from Mr. Yan, when Mr. Yan revealed this secret to me."

Having said this, Yang Kun looked at Mary, who was still unconscious on the sofa, and continued: "Lao Yan told me at that time that Tang Wanwan, the boss of the New York branch of the Hongmen, had a magic weapon, the Luban Ruler."

"So, the deal Old Monster Yan made with you is that you help him get the Luban Ruler from Tang Wanwan and present it to him, and he will accept you as his disciple?" Li Ling asked.

Yang Kun sighed softly, nodded and said, "Yes."

Li Ling was very surprised: "Why doesn't Old Monster Yan go and get it himself? He is a master of Luban Shu, and his martial arts skills are at an advanced level. He is still afraid of the Tang family's gang of practitioners?"

"Don't tell me that as a disciple of the Hongmen, he can't help but snatch things from the Tang family? If Mr. Yan wants to get something, he probably only thinks about the friendship between the same disciples and the morality of the world.

It’s just dung.”

Yang Kun said: "I asked my master this question at that time, but he didn't tell me. He only said one sentence to me.

"He said that if he could easily get this thing from the Tang family, he would definitely not give me this test question."

"That is to say, at least at that time, Old Monster Yan gave you a test that seemed impossible to complete." Li Ling said, but his heart became more and more strange. It seems that this Tang family is really not simple!

How did they get the Lu Ban Ruler? What kind of power or factors does their Tang family have that would make even Old Monster Yan fearful? I really didn’t see it!

"Since even Old Monster Yan himself doesn't dare to ask the Tang family for the Luban Ruler, then it's even more impossible for you." Li Ling said,

"But that's not what happened later, right? Because Old Monster Yan did accept you as his apprentice, so how did all this involve the Xiao family?"

Yang Kun's expression dimmed: "In order to avenge Xiaoxue by worshiping Mr. Yan as my teacher, I risked my life. I found the Tang family and explained my origin to them.

"I have made all preparations and plans. No matter how hard the Tang family makes things for me, I will definitely take away the Luban Ruler from them. I can even agree to any of their requests, as long as they can hand over the Luban Ruler to me.

"To my surprise, the Tang family did not make things difficult for me, and they also proposed a trading condition for me! As long as I can find another thing, they are willing to exchange it with me for the Luban Ruler!"

Li Ling was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately came to his senses: "So, the Xiao family has become the victim! Xiao Tingjuan and Aunt Liu have become your victims and springboard?"

Yang Kun looked at the fainted Mary again with a guilty conscience, his face taking on a bitter and sad tone:

"No matter how much time I have left to live, I will cherish every day and repay Xiaojuan and her family. I owe their family a lot. Today, if Mary hadn't taken the bullet for me, I would be dead now.

.”

"Xiao Tingjuan took a bullet for you and you survived. The jade pendant you gave her earlier saved her. This makes people sigh with emotion at the predetermined fate and the wonder of good fortune!" Li Lingqing

sigh,

"So, you tried every means to get close to Xiao Tingjuan, defrauded her trust and affection, got close to the Xiao family, especially Aunt Liu, and stole an antique from her family that was passed down by her Liu family?

"This antique is a bargaining chip given to you by the Tang family. As long as you can take that antique and hand it over to the Tang family, the Tang family will exchange it for you with the Luban Ruler. And you succeeded."

"Yes." Yang Kun looked downcast, "Tang Wanwan told me that Aunt Liu has a set of valuable antiques in her hands. As long as I can get the set of antiques from her, he will exchange the Luban Ruler for me.

"Then, as you already know, I started with Xiaojuan, and after many twists and turns, I finally caught her.

"Now that I think about it, I'm really a beast! Back then, Xiaojuan was as beautiful as a flower, but she also had her precious reserve and pride. Moreover, she had already been admitted to New York University -"

"What is Aunt Liu's set of antiques?" Li Ling was extremely curious when he heard this. When he was in New York, he tried to find a chance to ask Aunt Liu, but he never had time.

"Five ancient coins, and they are the coins of the Five Emperors." Yang Kun replied.
