Zhan Zhao and the others were chatting in the yard, admiring the moon, and waiting for the arrival. They originally calculated the time and expected to go back and forth to the Demon Palace in about an hour, but seeing that it was almost two hours, the old man still didn't come back.

Zhan Zhao began to walk around in circles in the yard, Gongsun comforted him, "Nothing will happen to the old man's ability, maybe something delayed him in the Demon Palace."

Although Zhan Zhao also knew it, he was still wandering around and restless.

Mr. Wu feels that his cat is a little anxious during this time.

Finally, near midnight, a white spot appeared on the horizon.

Zhan Zhao took a deep breath and sat down.

But when Yaoyao fell into the courtyard, Yin Hou jumped off the dragon's back with someone, and everyone was surprised when they saw it.

Because what Yin Hou brought back was not the wooden monk Xue Mu, but Lu Shanhan.

Yin Hou winked at Zhan Zhao, and Zhan Zhao understood immediately - it was estimated that the wooden monk was not in the Demon Palace, so grandpa went to Hongying Village to pick up Lu Shanhan again, which was why it took so long.

Of course, you can't tell Lu Shanhan that you originally planned to pick up the wooden monk, but you only found him when the monk wasn't around. The old man would definitely fall out.

Zhan Zhao hadn't seen him for a long time, so he jumped up and shouted "Uncle Lu!"

Lu Shanhan was naturally happy to see Zhan Zhao, and the Fifth Master also came over to give him a greeting.

The old man was rarely in a good mood and smiled happily. In a blink of an eye, he happened to see Zhao Pu strolling in.

The two sides looked at each other, and Zhan Zhaoyinhou said in his heart, "It's going to be bad..."

But who would have thought that Lu Shanhan was not only not annoyed but also happy, and shouted, "Xiao Jiu!"

"Yo!" Zhao Pu was also happy, "The old man is here?!"

Zhan Zhao watched with some confusion as Lu Shanhan, who hated the Zhao royal family the most in his life, met Zhao Pu shoulder to shoulder for a drink, as if it was a good thing.

Yin Hou was also a little puzzled. They didn't know that in Hongying Village, Zhao Pu and Lu Shanhan cursed the ancestors of the Zhao family together while drinking. Finally, they cursed their feelings, "Heroes cherish heroes", and they met each other.

I hate being late.

The Demon King and Tianzun have already gone to bed, and the few people left in the yard are all very sleepy.

Zhan Zhao decided to rest first and then show the old man the building tomorrow morning. Before going to bed, Gongsun took out the wood carving picture and showed it to the old man.

Lu Shanhan curled his lips when he took it and almost tore it apart, but luckily Zhan Zhao grabbed it quickly.

Gongsun is quite aggrieved. It was so hard to paint!

Zhan Zhao asked Lu Shanhan what it was, and the old man blinked and said he didn't recognize it.

Everyone was confused and Yin Hou was speechless, "Why are you tearing it apart if you don't recognize it?"

Lu Shanhan said that this thing was extremely ugly, and that today’s carpenters are too outrageous to even be able to make such a thing.

After working on it for a long time, Lu Shanhan didn't even know what the five-eyed wood carving was.

Everyone's original expectations were immediately dampened by half. Yin Hou waved his hands, indicating that they should go to bed tonight and talk about anything else in the morning.

…

That night, I don't know if it was because they were tired, but Zhan Zhao and Gongsun fell asleep and kept dreaming.

Zhan Zhao dreamed of a monster with the head of a human and the body of a chicken flying and chasing him, flopping around in the quilt. Master Wu helped him pick up the quilt twice.

Gongsun dreamed that the boss's eyes were chasing him, and he kicked the quilt all the time. As a result, the fourth son rolled out of bed twice.

Zhao Pu speechlessly picked up the confused dumplings and put them back on the bed.

Early the next morning, Bai Yutang and Zhao Pu didn't sleep for almost the whole night and were feeling sleepy. The fourth son said that he dreamed of climbing a mountain last night and woke up this morning with sore backs and legs. However, Zhan Zhao and Gongsun had a good night's sleep and were full of energy.

.

After breakfast, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang put on Lu Shanhan to look at the small building.

Gongsun and Zhao Pu went to the Yamen with Mr. Bao.

When he reached the street, Lu Shanhan raised his head and observed the small building, then frowned.

The old man said "tsk" and said that this building was indeed a Luban building, which was very unlucky. It might be possible to get by opening a shop here, but it was definitely not suitable for a private residence. If you lived here all year round, you would get seriously ill or die.

.

"Is it so evil?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"Hmm..." The old man pondered for a moment, then waved to the two of them, indicating that he wanted to go into the building to have a look.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang took him into the building.

Lu Shanhan walked around upstairs and downstairs. After reading it, the three of them went to the snack shop where they had tea yesterday and sat down to talk.

Zhan Zhao asked Lu Shanhan, what kind of building is a Luban building? Is it a small building built using the spells in Luban's book?

"Absolutely." Lu Shanhan introduced the two of them, "The Lu Ban Book is divided into two volumes. The first volume is mostly about Taoism and incantations, and the second volume is about relief methods. The original intention of the founder of the Lu Ban Book is not necessarily

The purpose is to harm people, just to find a guarantee for the carpenters who rely on their crafts to make a living. However, things like curses can easily get out of control after use. And most of those who have the intention to harm others will suffer retribution, so curses

The technique must not be used lightly."

"Does casting a curse really work?" Mr. Wu was a little unconvinced.

The old man shrugged, "I haven't tried it either. Who can say for sure? It is said that the ancestor cast a spell on the wooden bird, and the wooden bird can fly into the sky. Have you ever seen anything like this? Anyway, I haven't.

I’ve seen it, but I don’t believe it either.”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also nodded.

"But some mechanisms can work." Lu Shanhan continued, "Building a house? If it is built well, it will be warm in the winter and cool in the summer. If it is not built well, it will be cold in the winter and hot in the summer. If you live in it, you will be uncomfortable and your health will be bad.

For example, if the house is not breathable, the people living in it will easily get sick. If the lighting is not good, people will be depressed easily. If the sound insulation is not good, it will be difficult to sleep peacefully... Anyway, a lot of attention is paid to the inside. The so-called Luban Building is based on the Luban book.

A building built with a spell... More than one spell is used in this kind of building, and the purpose of building it is to harm people! However, you must know that if you use a spell to harm people, you will be punished. When building a house, you must secretly

If you use one method, you may harm others and yourself. If you build a building full of spells, the builder himself will also be affected. To put it simply, the people who build this building are probably the same as the people who want to live in this building.

It's a deep hatred, and it's a way to perish together. But every wrong has its own owner, and the person who built the building left certain features on the appearance of the building to remind others that this is a sinister building, so don't go towards it if nothing happens.

Minato."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were doubtful after hearing this, and both looked at the old man - is it reliable?

The old man continued to spread his hands, "It's said to be a legend, but I haven't tried it. Besides, I only build houses for people I like, not those I don't like."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both nodded - this is true, the emperor can't even invite you.

"So is this wood carving also a kind of spell?" Zhan Zhao took out the image of the wood carving that many people despised as "ugly".

Lu Shanhan shook his head, thought for a while, and said, "It feels like two different things."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were both curious - what are the two different things?

"Most of the spells in Lu Ban's books are about making people's homes restless, but this kind of wood sculpture looks like some kind of totem or monster, just like the magic spells and witchcraft. Some similarities are harmful to people, but in fact they are two different things.

.”

After listening to Lu Shanhan's introduction, Zhan Zhao felt even more confused and asked, "Will the people living in this building become murderers?"

The old man sighed and discussed with Zhan Zhao, "Zhao Zhao, how about we change our profession? Don't study these perverts all day long. Otherwise, it would be good to be a cook or something, don't you think so?"

Fifth Master held the cup and nodded in agreement.

"Then can we find out who built this building?" Zhan Zhao tried his best to change the topic and continued to look for clues.

Lu Shanhan shook his head, "Looking at the style, it should have been built in the previous dynasty. It must have been more than a hundred years ago. I don't know what it was made of. Is it carpentry? It's easy to get into the industry. If there is a master who is willing to take care of it, you can learn it."

Craftsmanship is not a rare industry."

Zhan Zhao was a little anxious. After searching for a long time, he still had no clues!

Fifth Master looked at him helplessly - the murderer's body has been found, what clues are there?

After Lu Shanhan was sent back to another hospital, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang continued to go to the Yamen, hoping that Gongsun's autopsy would yield new findings.

But when the two of them arrived at the Yamen, they saw Gongsun in the courtyard also looking depressed.

Zhao Pu sat down at the stone table with his chin in his hands and dozed off. Mr. Qin and Mr. Bao were standing together talking about the case.

Zhan Zhao ran to Gongsun and asked, "Were there any clues found on the body?"

Gongsun sighed and asked him, "How do you think Boss Qian died?"

Zhan Zhao blinked-how did he die?

"You're starving to death!" Seeing Zhan Zhao's shocked face, Gongsun added, "There are other things you can't think of!"

Zhan Zhao tilted his head - say it quickly!

"He trapped himself into a rice dumpling by himself!" Gongsun showed Zhan Zhao how to tie it. "In the end, he swallowed the key in his belly."

This conclusion successfully shocked Zhan Zhao.

After being stunned for a long time, Zhan Zhao was surprised, "So he committed suicide?"

Gongsun nodded with resentment on his face. Originally, he thought there might be another murderer, such as an accomplice or something, who killed Boss Qian because of a disagreement and ran away. But after Gongsun carefully performed the autopsy just now, he did not find any third party.

There are no signs of the existence of the two murderers. The objects recovered from the building have no traces of use by others. Even the shape of Boss Qian’s hands is consistent with the injuries on the skulls and necks of the victims’ remains that were dug up. In short...

No flaws at all!
