Chapter 733: Book of Lu Ban
“The book is the second volume of the ‘Book of Lu Ban’, and the saber is a Phenomenon-class Strange Artifact named ‘To Slay Autumn Water’.”
Defeated said while holding the two items, “I hope that these gifts are good enough to earn your forgiveness, senior.”
“The second volume of the ‘Book of Lu Ban’?!”
“‘To Slay Autumn Water’?!”
Behind Ye Qing, Pedant Earth and Shangguan Hongjin exclaimed in shock. They clearly knew what the items were.
The “Book of Lu Ban” was a book written by the ancestor of carpentry, the ancient carpenter known as Lu Ban. It was a record of his life’s works and craft. The “Book of Lu Ban” was split into two volumes. The first volume recorded the carpentry skills necessary to inspect and build houses for the living, whereas the second volume taught one how to inspect houses for the dead, build tombs, fortify buildings, repel evils and more. All the spells, incantations and more necessary to perform the tasks were included as well.
If the first volume of the “Book of Lu Ban” was a book of skill, then the second volume was a book of spells.
The first volume of the “Book of Lu Ban” was so extraordinary that, despite its seemingly mundane qualities, benefited everyone be it on an individual or national level. A great propeller of technology and progress, it was worshiped as the textbook of carpentry by all future carpenters and craftsmen and known to all.
On the other hand, very few people knew that the “Book of Lu Ban” had a second volume. It was because it recorded knowledge that was considered intolerable and unusable to the common people. After all, how many people actually needed the spells and incantation to inspect a house of the dead, build a tomb, fortify a building, repel evil and more?
