Chapter 1 Chinese Carpenters

"Dear passengers, ladies and gentlemen, the Queen Mary's exciting 'Charming Oriental' journey starts from Singapore and stops along the coast in Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Tokyo... Now, we are starting from the 'Paris of the Orient' Chinese fashion house again.

The sails are set off from the harbor, and the next stop will be Hawaii, the most charming pearl in the Pacific... Then, we will sail directly to the final destination of this route, the free city of New York..."

On the Pacific Ocean, a huge and luxurious cruise ship carried nearly 5,000 tourists and more than 1,000 crew members. It was sailing at full speed through the wind and waves. The route and destination of the voyage were repeatedly played on the radio in multiple languages. Apex 23S

It was August, and it was the hot summer on the mainland, but at this time, the Pacific Ocean was vast, thousands of miles away, and the sea breeze was blowing, which was extremely cool and pleasant. The blue sky and the golden ocean were the same color for a long time, and seabirds were flying.

Dolphins and the charming sea view made thousands of tourists on the cruise ship walk out of their cabins and come to the deck to enjoy the sightseeing.

"F.uck!"

On the third cabin deck of the cruise ship, a white man with curly brown hair and a vest showing off his well-developed muscles leaned against the side of the ship and kept complaining to his companions.

"I've really had enough! I swear in the name of God, next time, no matter how much Thomason pays me, I won't come! This trip is simply a nightmare for me, no, it's

A trip to hell!”

"Hey, Rick, you know, the most intolerable thing to me is your bad mouth, can you please let me be quiet for a while!" a man yelled.

"Hey, Butler, you damn Montana guy, did your mother give you a bone when she gave birth to you? Did I say something wrong?" Rick retorted, "What we did on this trip is

What the hell is this errand? It’s been more than two months since we’ve been gathering around this deck, not allowed to go anywhere, and we have to stay up all night! Do you think this is what people like us should do?”

On the deck not far from the group of white men, a young man in white with yellow skin and dark eyes was holding a drawing board and looking at the blue sky and sea to paint. Hearing the roar of the group of men, he paused for a moment, looked over, and said softly.

Shake his head.

"...And those bosses, they all went down there to live life and drink! Gambling, French meals, whiskey, hugging an Egyptian woman on the left, an Oriental woman on the right, and a Lebanese woman below... We're just gonna stay here for the hell.

, staring at a pregnant woman every day, you are enjoying this kind of trip, I, damn, have had enough!"

After Rick finished speaking angrily, he threw the half-cup of coffee he had not finished drinking out of the railing, and then continued to quarrel with a few companions.

"oh!"

Not long after, a burst of women's exclamations and resentments were heard from the crowd of tourists on the lower deck. These people looked out and laughed one after another.

On the lower deck, the top of a girl with an Asian appearance was in a mess. The originally white shirt was now yellow and black, and her hair was stained with the liquid. She was trembling with anger, and tears were rolling in her eyes.

"Nana, these are some foreigners on the third floor!" Another oriental girl shouted in Chinese, and in an instant she shouted in fluent English: "Hey! How can you do such an uncivilized and impolite thing? If you

Being a gentleman, please come down quickly and apologize to this lady, and then help her take care of this top!"

"Hahahaha!" The white men continued to laugh, "Rick, it's all your fault, bastard! However, those two oriental girls are really good-looking, especially the one who shouted, the oriental charm is so charming

!If I could hold her on my lap and press her on the bed, oh, God..."

Rick looked at the two Chinese girls below the deck, shrugged, made an embarrassed expression, said nothing, and continued chatting with a few companions.

Seeing their attitude, the two girls became angry, especially the girl who was the victim. She immediately raised her voice with a voice of over 100 decibels and shouted in English to the third floor: "You are too barbaric and rude! Please come down immediately and give me a message."

I apologize and compensate. This shirt was a birthday gift from my dad!

"Also, please remember that the cruise ship just sailed not far from Shanghai, China. This is still in the East China Sea and within our country's territorial waters. The days of foreigners bullying the Chinese are long gone. We Chinese

People are no longer so easy to bully!”

"Second Miss!" Two Chinese men came up in a hurry to persuade, "This is not in Shanghai, nor in New York. Please keep your voice down, that is the third floor!"

"What happened to the third floor?!" The victimized Chinese girl was furious at this time and did not listen to the advice at all. "Is the third floor superior to others? Look at what I look like now. If you don't help me teach them a lesson, you will

Come to me, my dad pays you, and this is how you do things for our Ye family?"

"Second Miss, this is what Mr. Ye has told us." One of the men said sternly, "We can't mess with the people on the third floor of this cruise ship, even if we suffer a little loss, we will accept it. The ship is about to reach the high seas.

, At this time, it is better to have one less thing than one more thing. Second Miss, I will compensate you for this big tiger dress, okay?"

"No, I don't want it!" The second young lady of the Ye family was only thinking about the truth at this time, "I don't care who they are, if they bully others, they must apologize and compensate! You are afraid, I will go up by myself!" After that, I went up alone!

One person dashed up to the third-floor cabin with a bang, and the remaining girl and two men looked at it and had no choice but to follow.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Several foreigners suddenly saw the Oriental girl rushing up to her, and looked at her curiously, "This little Oriental sweetheart obviously doesn't want to give up!"

"I think it's Oriental Pepper, look at her like that, Rick, you're in trouble!"

"Hey, you guys, who poured coffee for me? If it's a man or a gentleman, please apologize to me quickly!" Miss Ye's second daughter stepped forward with her hands on her hips. In front of a group of tall white men, she looked

She looks so weak and petite.

"Little beauty, you are really girly!" Rick walked out, "But, I like it! I'm sorry, it was me. My name is Rick. I promise that I will never do this to such a charming girl like you next time.

Such a rude thing!"

After Rick said that, he quickly stretched out a hand and put it on the shoulder of the second lady of the Ye family. Her white shirt was soaked with coffee, and her bra strap was clearly visible on her shoulder. Rick's hand,

It seems to be rubbing the strap!

The second young lady of the Ye family became furious again. She pushed his hand away, stepped back, and cursed: "Rogue! Didn't your parents teach you what self-cultivation and politeness are, you?"

"Haha, you're right. I didn't know who my dad was when I was born, and my mother threw me into the orphanage and ran away." Rick smiled, stepped forward, and held Miss Ye Er's hand.

hand, "How about you teach me?"

"Please let go of your hand!" The Chinese man named "Dahu" rushed over and held Rick's hand.

Rick only felt a strong pressure coming up, making him unable to use his strength. He raised his head and looked at Dahu in surprise, but his other hand stretched out with a "whoosh" and sneered: "Chinese Kung Fu, right? Then

Let’s see if you can compare to me!”

In his hand, he held a jet-black pistol!

"There's a gun!" another Chinese man who followed up exclaimed. Guns are not unusual for them, but it is strange to be able to escape strict inspection and be brought on board. In other words, this third level

Those who board can bring guns on board.

Another Oriental girl and the man who followed them stopped immediately, and they realized that all the four men in front of the cabin had guns.

"My ****, you are so majestic! You came here to show off your Chinese Kung Fu, right?" Rick punched Dahu on the eyebrow, causing blood to flow instantly.

These foreigners all have guns, Dahu doesn't dare to resist, maybe he can save his life, but the second lady is still here!

Rick was full of resentment and evil fire, and now he completely unleashed it on Dahu. After a while, Dahu was beaten to the head with a bloody head and fell to the ground, while another Chinese man was beaten.

The other three foreigners pointed guns at him.

Only then did the second young lady of the Ye family realize how stupid her impulse was. Dahu suffered for her. When she saw him lying on the ground with his face covered in blood, she couldn't help but burst into tears and immediately shouted: "Don't fight! Let's leave immediately!"

Please don’t fight!”

"Really, but I haven't had enough fun yet!" Rick was about to kick the big tiger, but suddenly he felt a white shadow flash in front of his eyes. Then, his hand was held and his foot was stepped on.

, and he couldn't lift it up at all, and couldn't move at all!

"It's you?!" Rick recognized the originally polite and well-mannered oriental boy in front of him at a glance.

"It's the Chinese guy who lives in room nine!" three men behind Rick shouted.

"I know!" Rick turned around and shouted, then stared coldly at the boy in front of him, "Who are you? You will regret doing this!"

"I just said hello before and forgot to introduce myself. My name is Li Ling. I am Chinese. I never regret what I did." The young man smiled and said to Rick in fluent but slightly accented English.

The second young lady of the Ye family and the others were all dumbfounded. The man who helped them control Rick floated out from nowhere like a ghost!

But I saw that he was wearing a white training suit, holding Rick's gun-holding hand with one hand, and stepping on his feet with one foot, with his back to the second young lady of the Ye family.

The "Queen Mary" stayed in Shanghai for four days and sailed in the East China Sea for nearly a day. Since the Chinese boy boarded the ship from Shanghai Port, Rick and his gang have been seeing him every day for the past five days.

On the deck of the third-level cabin, there is either a drawing board and looking at the sea to paint, or a knife to cut wood.

When meeting anyone, this Chinese boy always greets politely, looks harmless, and always wears a Chinese martial arts uniform that looks weird to Westerners.

The guests who can stay in the third-floor cabin of the "Queen Mary" are definitely not ordinary people. Passengers on the entire cruise ship know it. And especially the first ten rooms on the third floor, in 1998, even if they cost 100,000 US dollars

I can't book any of these ten rooms.

But this weird boy lives in Room 9 on the third floor, five rooms away from Room 3 where Rick and his gang guard.

"You soiled this girl's clothes, and now you've injured her companions. I think you should apologize and compensate them for their losses." When Li Ling said this, he suddenly rounded his eyes and looked at Rick's forehead.

, his eyes became rounder and rounder.

Weary of victory and rush into evil patterns!

Li Ling rubbed his eyes and took a closer look at the foreigner's forehead. Yes, it must be! His heartbeat accelerated a little.

This foreigner's forehead was marked by a layer of fine lines that had been washed away by the carpenter's aversion to victory. The lines were so clear that they were obviously produced during this period. Li Ling had been staying here for the past five days and saw them every day.

This group of foreigners are guarding the inside and outside of Room 3 on the third floor of the cruise ship, fearing that the Shangzhenwu Zhenwu is in this room...

Ever since my senior brother's Luban sculpture of the Patriarch was accidentally knocked down in his hometown and a bag was hit on his forehead, he inexplicably had a set of weird ideas in his head that were different from those possessed by most carpenters in reality.

After inheriting the "Lu Ban Shu" for more than five years, Li Ling has become familiar with most of the Lu Ban Shu, although there are still some things in the book that he cannot fully understand or even understand.

But for more than five years, apart from himself, Li Ling had never seen any clues about Luban Shu in his life. In the old days, it was said that carpenters used the Luban Shu to retaliate against their employers who deducted wages.

"Betting" seems to only stay in the stories in books and folklore.

Li Ling once asked his elder brother who was a carpenter if there were any carpenters in the world who knew Luban's art such as the Carpenter's Wean Sheng Shu. However, his elder brother always shook his head and said nothing. Li Ling once thought that this mysterious carpenter's witchcraft had already been invented.
