From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 32 Lu Ban Book

When he mentioned that he wanted to learn his skills, Carpenter Xu, who had just been pounding his chest, looked embarrassed and fell silent.

"I don't really care whether you can learn the skill you displayed last time or not. I'm just a little curious about it and want to take a look."

"If even such a small matter makes you feel embarrassed, Brother Xu, then just ignore what I said!"

"Come on, Brother Xu, I'll toast you another glass!"

……

Seeing Carpenter Xu like this, Jiang Yao's eyes rolled around.

He said he was toasting Carpenter Xu, but his hand was shaking so badly that only half of the wine was left in his hand. When he clinked glasses with Carpenter Xu, half of the wine spilled out.

After clinking the glasses, Jiang Yao brought the glass back to his lips, and the remaining wine in it was shaken to only a layer at the bottom.

"After finishing this glass of wine, I should go back."

"I have always been honest with others. I hate it most when people hide things from me. I always like to keep something back when doing anything."

"It's not fun to be with someone like this. Even drinking doesn't taste good at all!"

……

Pretending to be heroic, Jiang Yao drank the wine in his hand in one gulp. He picked up the small wine glass in his hand and slammed it hard on the table in front of him.

He probably only had about three or four ounces of the bulk liquor he brought with him.

It would have been fine if Jiang Yao had pretended to leave, but when he stood up, he actually picked up the bottle and prepared to take away all the remaining wine.

For a wine lover like Carpenter Xu, if someone took away all the wine when he was drinking, it would undoubtedly be the end of him.

"Brother Jiang, don't..."

"Aren't you just interested in my abilities and want to broaden your horizons and take a look?"

"It's just a small request, brother, I agree to it."

"But let me make it clear first, you can only take a look, and you can't just randomly learn what's on it."

……

Seeing Jiang Yao preparing to take the wine away, Carpenter Xu, who was a little anxious, quickly stood up and stopped Jiang Yao.

He was a little drunk and his speech was not very clear.

Seeing Jiang Yao stop temporarily, in order to show his sincerity, he walked to the shrine a few steps away from the wine table in just two or three steps.

Pulling the shrine open a little, he reached out and fumbled behind it for a while. When he stretched out his hand again, there was a tattered ancient book in his hand.

"The little skills I have are basically all learned from this book."

"Brother, if you are interested in this thing, just take it and have a look!"

After stuffing the tattered book into Jiang Yao's arms, Carpenter Xu pulled him back to the table.

Then, he took the bottle of remaining wine from Jiang Yao's hand, poured himself a full glass, and added a little to Jiang Yao's glass.

"Lu Ban Book, a purely hand-copied version..."

At this moment, Jiang Yao's attention was completely attracted by the book in his hand.

He had heard of the name of this legendary book in his previous life, but he had never actually seen it.

"Legend has it that the founder once made a wooden kite. After riding on the kite, as long as one recites the corresponding spell, one can fly directly into the sky." "A woman's curiosity can kill the cat. The founder's wife was the same."

"One day, when the master was away, she opened the Lu Ban book, imitated the master by sitting on the wooden kite, chanted a spell and flew into the sky."

"At that time, she was pregnant. During the flight, the baby was about to be born. The dirty blood flowing out of her body made the flying spell fail all of a sudden. The master's wife fell from mid-air, and the baby in her belly died with her."

"The founder, who lost his wife and children, died alone in regret for the rest of his life. At that time, he was heartbroken and depressed, so he used magic to curse all future generations who wanted to learn the Lu Ban Book, so that they would also feel the same pain as himself."

……

Seeing that Jiang Yao's attention was all on the torn book, Carpenter Xu poured himself a drink and began to slowly explain to him the origin of the book.

When he first started talking about this, he looked fine, but as he spoke, he became sad and his face was filled with bitterness.

"Anyone who learns the various spells in Lu Ban's book will not have a good ending. Various misfortunes will befall them inadvertently."

"When I was young, I was a carpenter. The master who taught me carpentry had magical skills. After seeing him a few times, I was amazed by him. When he talked about the five disadvantages and three shortcomings, I didn't take it seriously and didn't believe it at all."

"I pestered my master for two or three years. He was so annoyed that he finally taught me the Lu Ban book and led me into the art."

"After I learned that spell, only a year or two later, my wife went up the mountain to cut grass for pigs and fell off a cliff. She died just like that!"

"My two or three-year-old child also had an accident a few months later because of eating something careless. A date pit got stuck in his throat and choked to death!"

"I have no father or mother, no wife or children. I am a man living in this world. What else can I want, brother?"

"Live one day at a time, and live one day at a time!"

……

After two more glasses of wine, Carpenter Xu became more and more grief-stricken. He spoke with great emotion, and when he reached a sad point, he held his head and burst into tears.

"Is Lu Ban's book so weird? Carpenter Xu's family was destroyed because he learned this, and he is the only one left alive in the world?"

"No wonder he has such a weird temper. He has a lot of skills, but he doesn't know how to make money. He just eats and drinks and lives a life of idleness."

"This old man is also a pitiful person!"

……

Listening to Carpenter Xu's story, Jiang Yao, who was originally flipping through Lu Ban's book with great enthusiasm, had already put down the remaining book in his hand.

Looking at Carpenter Xu who was crying bitterly across the table, he sighed and muttered.

Originally, he was very envious of Carpenter Xu's skills, and he tried every possible means to learn his magic.

To this end, he even resorted to trickery to get Carpenter Xu drunk.

Now, he finally got what he wanted and obtained the Lu Ban Book from Carpenter Xu, but Jiang Yao was a little hesitant about whether to learn the spells in it.

"According to Carpenter Xu, if I don't worship my ancestors and don't join Lu Ban's school, I should be able to avoid all those drawbacks."

"It's just that I can't borrow any mana with the method I use. I can only learn the empty outlines of the spells recorded in the book at most, and I can't bring out the power I should have."

"But I have a light curtain panel, and the empty spells may appear in the skill column..."

After thinking for a long time, Jiang Yao finally made a decision.

After helping the drunken Carpenter Xu to lie down on the bed in the bedroom, he took the Lu Ban book in his pocket, went out, rode his bicycle, and left like the wind.
