Allure Treasure

"Luban box!"

When Huang Hailin and Yang Qihu heard it, they were all shocked. Huang Hailin even had the urge to stand up, his heart pounding, "Brother, tell me, this is the Luban box? that is……"

"It's naturally the masterpiece of Lu Ban's life inside, Tiangongbao!" Zhao Daotu never took his eyes off the box while speaking, and said: "It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong, this must be the Luban box.)"

Huang Hailin and Yang Qihu both sat closer and looked at the box carefully. After all, Yang Mei and Huang Que were young, and had never heard of Luban boxes, and naturally they had never heard of Tiangongbao.

Zhao Daotu turned the box over and said word by word: "It is rumored that this Luban box was made by Lu Ban with ten years of painstaking efforts, using the black fire iron wood that has long been extinct. , like wood but not wood, as black as ink, as hard as iron, even if it is cut with a sharp knife on its material itself, there will never be a trace of trace."

After listening to Huang Que, she felt a little unbelievable, "Uncle, how did these carvings come from? They can't be carved with a knife, so Lu Ban..."

Zhao Daotu raised his hand, interrupted the brat's interruption, continued to stare at the Luban box, and said: "The material of this black fire iron wood is very special, but it is not impossible to crack it. It is rumored that it can be burned red with a sharp knife. It can only be built and carved little by little. Because of this, it got the name of black fire iron wood. Even if it is placed in sulfuric acid, it can last thousands of years, let alone ordinary soil. Well, I didn't believe it before, but I really believed it when I saw it today. Second brother, third brother, look, this box looks as if it has just been sprayed with a layer of paint and scrubbed. It's amazing. "

"Brother, are you sure?" Huang Hailin asked softly. After all, there are too many similar things in this world. This Luban box is a treasure of thousands of years. process of adaptation.

Zhao Daotu nodded, "Although the old Taoist has little knowledge, he also knew some things about Luban boxes before. I can't be wrong."

After finishing speaking, he continued to put the box on the red cloth, wandered around, and watched every carved surface of it.

The boy Huang Que was also curious at this moment, and moved over. When he was in Han Kun's lair, Huang Que saw the box once from a long distance. Such fineness, apart from Nuwa mending the sky and the 5000-year history of the gradual development of human civilization, other things are engraved on the other four sides.

The corresponding surface of Nuwa mending the sky is a picture of Pangu opening up the sky. On the carved surface, Pangu is tall, with thorny beard and hair, dressed in animal skin, holding a big axe in his hand, and the muscle lines of the whole body are vividly outlined. With all his strength, he slashed forward, his eyes revealing incomparable confidence and decisiveness, and his big mouth opened to the sky and roared like a rainbow.

On the opposite side of the five-year civilization is a map of Kyushu at war. Lu Ban's most outstanding achievement in his life is the production and invention of woodworking. In addition, his carving is also at the level of the originator. They are Kyushu Map and Phoenix Flying to the Sky. It is said that the three-dimensional map of Kyushu carved by him can watch the rivers and seas and the fortune of dragon veins in the mountains, and the carved phoenix flying into the sky is even more lifelike.

This engraved war map of Kyushu is based on the map of Kyushu with many ancient war scenes added.

Zhao Daotu said: "This map of Kyushu is the thing that Lu Ban was most proud of in his later years. It is also the oldest three-dimensional map. This is the first time I saw these war scenes, ladders, catapults, and torches. These are all masterpieces of Lu Ban during his lifetime. In ancient times, people fought hand-to-hand. Who would have thought of such a long-distance attack method? Once this high-efficiency war machine was used to capture the city, it immediately achieved an unprecedented victory effect. However, in his later years, Lu Ban regretted inventing these things, which caused too many lives to be burned, so he continued to think about carving, and his The Phoenix Flying Picture also mainly believes that the phoenix can be reborn after nirvana, and he hopes that all soldiers who really died and people who died innocently can be like the phoenix and be reborn after nirvana."

Huang Hailin's facial muscles were pulled a little bit, and he stared at this sculpture, feeling very uneasy inside.

On the left side of the map of Kyushu, the picture is hideous, all the characters are blue-faced, fangs, fierce, naked, with fangs and claws, especially this kind of carefully carved picture, which can make people feel the real and terrifying existence. The things in the picture are not human. There are ghosts and ghosts, some have only one hand and one leg, while others have two heads and one eye. With the rotation of the Luban box, the eyes seem to shoot out rays of light, which makes people feel a little trembling. There are no less than 50 people on the screen, each in a different shape, but they are all different from ordinary people. The whole screen is so dark and terrifying that they don't even dare to face it.

"This is a map of hell ghosts!"

"Hell?" Yang Qihu couldn't help muttering.

Zhao Daotu continued to turn the box, and when he finished the last engraving, it was even more shocking. The eerie atmosphere on the screen did not diminish at all, and each piece was as if it was vividly placed in front of him, stimulating The human optic nerve.

The picture is from far to near, but every detail is handled very well and very clearly, presenting all the ten tortures in hell in front of the world.

Cutting out hearts, gouging out eyes, inserting ears, cutting out tongues, chopping off hands, breaking off feet, going up the mountain of knives, going down into the pan of oil, slashing with thousands of knives, burning in a sea of ​​fire...

Although the screen is dimly black, it always makes people feel that there are bloody scenes in front of them. The ferocity of the evil spirits and the pain of the tortured are fully expressed, making people shudder.

"It's a god-man, a masterpiece of a god-man!"

Zhao Daotu couldn't help sighing.

Huang Hailin saw it and asked suddenly: "Brother, don't you find these pictures strange?"

"Second brother, tell me!"

Huang Hailin pointed to the picture and said, "I'm not surprised just by looking at this picture of Nvwa mending the sky, and I'm not surprised by this picture of five thousand civilizations. Lu Ban was a character in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Respecting the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Yao, Shun and Yu Tang, worshiping Nuwa, and believing in such super-great figures as Huangdi, Yandi, Vulcan, and Water God, but according to historical records, there was no such thing as Pangu at that time, and there were hell ghosts and ten tortures The picture, it seems that it was not at that time that it started to spread.”

Zhao Daotu immediately waved his hand, "Second brother, this is precisely the preciousness of this box. When we look at ancient times, what do we see? Isn't it some inference from the records of those unearthed cultural relics? Some things, If it didn’t appear, some people think it didn’t. If you want me to say, in this world, Pangu is fake, and so is Nuwa. The three emperors and five emperors, the god of water and fire are not so mysterious at all. Although there are some small doubts about the things that appear in this box , but there are also many unofficial historical records. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was already the theory of hell and reincarnation. People live in this world and want to be kind. If they are not good, they will go to hell and suffer extremely cruel punishments. We may know a lot, maybe we can predict it, but there are some things that we can't imagine or guess at all."

Huang Hailin nodded, Zhao Daotu's statement was quite reasonable.

Zhao Daotu continued: "This Luban box, the six-sided carving is actually of great significance. The upper and lower sides are heaven and earth, recording two true gods. The greatest power, the left and right sides are the universe, the two sides of the universe record the history of human development, civilization five years ago, and the map of Kyushu Spring and Autumn and Warring States records the cruel war scenes. On the one hand, Lu Ban wanted to record the development of human beings, on the other hand He is also praising his own achievements, of course, from the reincarnation of the front and back, he can find that he regretted in his later years, wars, the people who hurt the most will always be the common people."

"Heaven and earth, for gods, for heaven and earth, for people, for reincarnation, for ghosts, gods and ghosts, and people in the middle, maintaining a kind of balance, and also depicting a kind of mentality of people at that time, heaven and earth are gods, heaven and earth are for people, Those who do evil are ghosts, and they can only be reincarnated after undergoing torture in hell."

After Zhao Daotu finished speaking, although many orioles still couldn't understand, some of them still had a general understanding, but it can be seen that this box is quite valuable.

"Uncle, you, open this box and have a look!"

"Open?" Zhao Daotu glanced at Huang Que.

"Well, why keep it if you don't open it, right, second uncle?"

Huang Hailin shook his head, "Brother, I'm afraid you won't be able to open this box either."

Zhao Daotu sighed, "How can I be an old man, dare to compete with the originator of the trap door? I guess the only person who can open this box in the world is the peerless master of the trap door, and we are the only ones? I'm afraid I can't even understand it." , after this Luban box is made, according to official history and unofficial records, it has been opened once up to now!"

"once?"

"Yes, just once, after Lu Ban made this box, he put his life's creations into Tiangongbao, which recorded the production methods of all war machines, as well as various superb carpentry skills. , With the passage of time and the changes of history, this box fell into the hands of Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period one day. What Zhuge Liang was best at all his life was to arrange troops to study these pin mechanism. After opening it, he took out the heaven inside. Gongbao finally made a sensational wooden cow and horse in history, which can transport food and grass without eating or drinking, but the speed is not very fast. However, this kind of machine can be built in ancient times, which is not the same as the satellite rocket atomic bomb now. about there."

When the oriole heard that it was inside, it didn't take it seriously, and said: "This thing may be useful in ancient times, but what can it do now? Can it be handed over to carpenters to make ladders and stone catapults?"

"Stinky boy, you know nothing! Your ancestor's craftsmanship has been defiled by you like this, you deserve to be beaten!" Zhao Daotu pointed at the yellow bird, and said with hatred.

"It is rumored that after Zhuge Liang took out the Tiangong Treasure and looked it over, he put it back again, and also put in his own copy of the 'Kong Ming Jue'. , Qi vein fortune, so, if everything is true, then there must be these two things in this box, but I don’t know who can open it in this world!”

"Uncle, Second Uncle, I heard people say that the old woman Cixi once held this box in her hand?" Huang Que asked.

Zhao Daotu nodded, "That's right, Cixi took this box with her when the Eight-Power Allied Forces came to the capital, and carried it into the grave after her death, but was later dug out. I don’t know if it still exists in the world!”

Huang Hailin put his gaze back on Lubanhe's box, and fell into confusion for a moment, but he always felt that there seemed to be something hidden between Zhao Daotu's words. As for his own illusion, it was still true. Huang Hailin couldn't be sure for a while.
