Chapter 168 Red Toad
Holding the human skin of the old hall master Sun Jiuli in my hand, I didn’t feel frightened at all, I even felt awe.
Although Lu Banjiao and I are at odds with each other, I was moved by his loyalty to Gong Shuqi.
In order to complete the task assigned to him by Gongshu Qi, he did not hesitate to turn himself into a human skin and keep his soul alone for a thousand years. In the end, he burned his soul without any regrets.
I didn’t read the content on the human skin immediately. Since Sun Jiuli said that the content on it should not be known to Lu Banjiao, I had to guard against Lu San suddenly rushing in and seeing it.
So I loudly said to Lu San in the basement: "Mr. Lu, I succeeded. Don't worry about me. I'm going to enter the Sutra Pavilion now. You wait for me outside."
Lu San responded in surprise Said: "Good boy, I saw it right. You are really a genius who brings surprises to people everywhere!”
So I immediately pushed open the stone door of the Sutra Pavilion. Without the soul of the old hall master Sun Jiuli to guard it, Hunyan no longer existed. , I successfully entered the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
As Lu San said, there are indeed many scriptures and manuscripts in the Sutra Pavilion, and they are divided into many categories. Important information about curses and the history of Lu Ban Religion are displayed separately.
Looking at the dazzling array of books, I was a little hesitant for a while. I didn’t know whether to read the message on the human skin in my hand first, or to understand the history of Luban Sect first, and to study why Gongshuqi built Longjing and plotted against Maoshan. and royal.
In the end, I decided to put away the human skin first. Only by understanding the secrets of Luban Sect can I better understand the messages on the human skin.
So I took the lead in reading from the column about the history of the development of Luban Religion. I glanced at ten lines, and the words were quickly stored in my mind like a replica.
Time passed by, and soon I had read less than half of the classics. After reading it, I could not calm down for a long time. The development history of Luban Sect was beyond my imagination. Although they are outside the three religions, But in fact, many things I do are related to Xuanmen, and I have always had a relationship with Xuanmen that is constantly being cut and confused.
It is really a history of Luban and half a history of Xuanmen.
As for why Lubanjiao designed the founding emperor, the millennium-old Feng Shui bureau has finally become clear.
The founder of carpentry, Gongshu Ban, lived in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the Lu Ban Sect was actually established during the Western Han Dynasty.
Lubanism was not founded by the founder Lu Ban. Luban only left many skills and aversion to victory to carpenters, which were all left in his "Book of Luban".
Carpentry is a hard job, and its social status was very low in ancient times. However, with the book of Lu Ban, the carpenter learned many victory-defying techniques and achieved a reversal.
If any owner deducts wages, if any snobbery insults the carpenters, the carpenters will secretly tease you and destroy your family.
As time goes by, more and more carpenters are missing one skill in their studies. Even if they know that learning Luban Shu will be cursed, they are not afraid.
Over time, there were endless stories of carpenters using the art of defeating others to harm people, and some Xuanmen sects were ordered to encircle and suppress them. But there are so many carpenters in the world, you can’t kill them all, right? After all, not every carpenter harms others. They also make a living and are often forced to do so.
Later, in the Western Han Dynasty, the carpenters figured out that it was not okay to fight with Xuanmen like this every day. They had to unite, establish their own sect, and standardize their words and deeds. First, they could not be bullied by Xuanmen. , the second is to carry forward the skills left by the ancestors.
So the descendants of the Gongshu Ban stood up in person and established the Lu Ban Sect with a single call.
After the establishment of Lu Ban Sect, it really restrained the carpenters who had learned a certain skill, and also sorted out the skills left by the ancestors and passed them on from generation to generation.
Later, the Luban Sect became more and more popular. Due to their superb skills and unique understanding of Feng Shui that was different from Taoism, they soon became the favorites of the royal family and were responsible for repairing the imperial mausoleums. Time is also in the limelight.
As for the inner curse, they didn't take it seriously at first. They even had similar ideas to Lu San's. They believed that their time was coming anyway and they were going to die anyway. Even if their souls could not be reincarnated, they would be taken away to serve their ancestors. Yes, and willingly.
I have to say that the Lu Ban disciples at that time really had faith in their founder, Lu Ban. They believe that it was their ancestor who changed their destiny, and they will do whatever they want to do for him.
It was not until the Wu and Zhou Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty, which was the period when Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in history, ascended the throne that the Lubanmen's understanding of the curse changed.
When Wu Zetian succeeded to the throne, she decided to make Feng Shui changes to the imperial mausoleum of Emperor Gaozu. After all, the imperial mausoleums of all dynasties were dragon lairs and belonged to men. As an empress of the generation, Wu Zetian naturally wanted to change this situation. The dragon is in the world, and the phoenix can also be used. The feng shui of the imperial mausoleum cannot only support men, but the dragon and phoenix must be auspicious.
The Luban Sect was naturally responsible for this Feng Shui change, and the leader of the Luban Sect at that time was the ancestor of Gongshu Qi, Gongshu Mingyue.
Gongshu Mingyue led the disciples of Lu Ban to personally enter the imperial mausoleum of Tang Emperor Li Yuan. When he entered, he was so scared that he was wet all over.
I saw four red toads lying under the four coffin corners of the imperial coffin.
It is said that three-legged toads are hard to find, but these four red toads only have three legs. (End of this chapter)
