"Lin Zitong? Isn't it Li Qing'er?"
Jiang Qingxue's face showed a look of astonishment. Her daughter-in-law's name was beyond her expectation.
Yan Shouyi was also stunned. Why would his mother know about Li Qing'er?
Soon he figured everything out. It turned out that the original engagement between him and Li Qing'er was not decided by his grandfather, but by his mother.
My mother is also a descendant of Luban. She must have calculated something before telling my grandfather to go to the Li family to get engaged when he had the opportunity.
"Li Qing'er and I were not destined to get together, so we couldn't get together. Now that the Li family no longer exists, West Lake is my stronghold, and I formed a folk sect there," Yan Shou Yi smiled and said, "As for Zitong, she is now the head of the Lushan Sect."
Jiang Qingxue was just stunned for a moment, and then noticed the happy expression on Yan Shouyi's face, and she realized that her son was now If you live a happy life, you won't pursue those things anymore.
She smiled and said: "It seems that the outside world has changed a lot in the past twenty years."
Yan Shouyi took Jiang Qingxue's hand and briefly told Some changes in the past twenty years.
Twenty years ago, flashlights, sewing machines, and bicycles were still the three most important items for marriage. It was a prestigious thing for anyone to own these items.
But today, twenty years later, it is completely different. The once gravel road has turned into a spacious road, with cars coming and going.
It’s not just things that change, but also people.
"Grandpa passed away and was buried in Chenjiacun; dad was released from prison last year, but Uncle Zou left; we found grandma's soul, and she was sealed in King Jian's tomb for almost 20 years ..."
Too many things have happened in twenty years, even if it takes three days and three nights, there is no way to tell them all.
Yan Shouyi had never said so many words in one breath. He soon felt that his mouth was dry and he wondered if he had said too much.
But Jiang Qingxue didn’t think so. She just watched with a smile and listened quietly, as if accompanying Yan Shouyi through the twenty years of growth.
She has huge regrets in her heart. Listening to Yan Shouyi's experience can more or less make up for some of the regrets.
However, Yan Shouyi did not forget about business.
He cleared his throat and his expression became serious:
"Mom, now the civil sects and the famous sects have been in trouble, and dad told me that there is About you, so I came all the way to Changbai Mountain just to find a way to break the situation... Dad said, you have been working hard to perfect Lu BanThe second volume of the book, once you complete the second volume of the Luban book, it is possible for folk sects to transform into famous sects. Is this true? "
Jiang Qingxue also suppressed some of her smile, her eyes serious: "This is true, this is the method passed down by my master. "
She said, slowly walking towards the direction of Tianchi.
As she walked, Jiang Qingxue explained: "Although my master has become an immortal, he has always been there during his lifetime. After studying how to solve the death calamity of folk sects, he finally came to the conclusion that Buddhism eats fasts and worships Buddha, and Taoism meditates and worships gods. However, our folk sects have never worshiped Buddha or gods. We have no faith in our hearts and no moral restraint in our actions. Therefore, we have attracted divine punishment! "
"Buddhism has countless Buddhist scriptures, and Taoism has countless collections. Only our folk sect has Dharma but no Tao, and has skills but no intention. Everyone only does things based on their own likes and dislikes, so good and evil are All very extreme. If we can also have a classic masterpiece belonging to a folk sect, we can use it to alert our fellow sects, restrain their behavior, and temper their thoughts..."
"Shouyi, you know why we Did the Luban Cult neglect their own techniques and not study them, but for thousands of years they only thought about how to steal the skills of famous sects? In fact, this is the inherent mission of the descendants of Lu Ban - we study the classics of famous sects, not for our own selfish desires, but to use them as references, learn from them, and compile the Tao Te Ching belonging to folk sects! "
Jiang Qingxue came to the edge of Tianchi, squatted down slowly, and looked at the calm Tianchi water with beautiful eyes, reflecting the stars in the sky.
Yan Shouyi followed, There was already a storm in his heart.
It turns out that the descendants of Lu Ban still have such a mission...
No wonder, whether he met seniors such as Yin Tang and Xu Pingzhi in Qiantang, or When I met Li Chongxi in Chang'an, they all believed that I was the only person who could lead the folk sect.
The descendant of Lu Ban gathered the strengths of hundreds of schools and was the chosen savior. He was destined to become the backbone of the folk sect. !
“Then...Mom, have you perfected the second volume of Lu Ban’s book in the past twenty years? " Yan Shouyi asked.
Jiang Qingxue did not answer, but gently scooped up a ladle of water from the Tianchi with her hands, and then sprinkled it into the sky.
The clear Tianchi The water dispersed and turned into water droplets, but they did not fall back into the Tianchi. Instead, they were suspended in mid-air, slowly forming a heavenly book under the reflection of the bright moon and stars!
Thousands of words, filled with stars!
Yan Shouyi’s eyes widened. This scene was so shocking that it could even be described as a miracle.
This is What is the content of the second volume of Lu Ban’s book?
Yan Shouyi read it carefully and felt that between the lines, there was the nature of Taoism, the cause and effect of Buddhism, the benevolence and righteousness of Confucianism, and thousands of other things that he could not explain clearly.
There are so many principles of heaven and earth contained in these few thousand words that Yan Shouyi’s experience makes him unable to digest them. Let alone understand them, he can’t even read them all.
"In the past twenty years, in order to complete the second volume of Lu Ban's book as soon as possible, I have made great ambitions. If I don't complete it, I won't be able to leave Tianchi. I didn't expect that this painting will be a prison, but it will be enough. I have lived for twenty years and missed the first half of your life."
Jiang Qingxue said regretfully: "In the past twenty years, I have been up early and late at night, studying countless classics, but I can only get to this point. The last four But I have never been able to perfect it."
"Now I also want to understand, maybe I will never be able to understand these four sentences, because my time in the world is too short, and I have not yet understood it. I didn't understand the true meaning of folk sects, so when your father arrived, I asked him questions, but I didn't expect that he couldn't answer them. In the end, we put all our hope in you."
Four sentences, corresponding to four questions respectively, Yan Shou recalled what his father Yan Qiu had said to him before leaving.
Yan Shouyi looked carefully and found that there were four conspicuous gaps in the last paragraph of the second volume of Lu Ban's book.
The "Book of Heaven" in front of me is extremely harmonious. Thousands of unrelated words are arranged together, but it seems like a blank piece of paper.
But the four empty sentences are like four holes on the white paper, which directly destroys the integrity of the entire white paper and makes it so conspicuous.
"Shouyi, your father has confidence in you, and I have confidence in you," Jiang Qingxue said softly, "We all think that you should fill in the last four sentences. ."
Yan Shouyi raised his head, his only remaining eye staring closely at the words in the sky.
As long as I unravel these four sentences, can I break the calamity of death and completely resolve the conflict between the two factions?
