The Luban Trainee is the story

Among Lu Ban's many apprentices, there is a character named Zhao Xian, who blinks and moves his eyebrows. He was born with sharp teeth, and he loves to be cheating and treacherous. It's also strange that Lu Ban looked away for a while and didn't see through his true face. In the three years of being a teacher, Zhao Xian also learned some fur skills.
　　"Master, why do others respect you so much, but they don't take me seriously, I'm not convinced!" Suddenly, Zhao Xian proposed to compete with his master.
　　Lu Ban saw that the apprentice was immeasurable and not modest, although he was a little annoyed, but he said in his heart that it was okay, it was better to take this opportunity to teach this arrogant guy who did not know the height of the sky, and then he could test what real skills he had and how much he had learned the craft. So, he readily agreed, and said to Zhao Xian: "Okay, let's build a bridge tonight until the rooster crows." Whoever can't finish on time loses, what do you think? ”
　　Zhao Xian promised: "Okay! Deal. However, the distance between the two of us should be widened, so as not to interfere with each other, you go to Yingcheng to build a bridge, and I will go to Shajin to start construction. After speaking, they went their separate ways to go.
　　It is said that this day is the first day of the second month, but the sky is not beautiful, not only is there no moon at night, but also the wind is fierce, the rain is pouring, and the sky is so dark that you can't see your fingers. For lighting, Lu Ban hurriedly borrowed a crystal lamp from the Dragon King of the East China Sea that was not afraid of wind and rain, and built the bridge overnight. Zhao Xian saw that the weather was bad and he couldn't start work, so he was so anxious that he paced around the river, scratching his ears and cheeks, and his heart was like fire, but there was nothing he could do. I thought to myself, the weather is so bad, the master must not be able to start the work, maybe he is lying in the quilt to sleep lazily and dream, so comfortable! In order to find out the truth, Zhao Xian decided to secretly run to see what was going on. Across the distance, but see a bright lamp hanging, illuminating the earth as bright as day, the bridge piers have been erected on both sides of the river, Lu Ban is sawing planks to lay the bridge deck, and many people are watching in the rain with great interest, and cheering for the master, shouting and cheering, the scene is very prosperous. However, Lu Ban did not allow them to help, but worked alone and quickly, silent, and energetic. Seeing that the master was done, Zhao Xian frowned and thought about it. I patted my head and said: Yes, as long as the master is prevented from building the bridge deck, it will not be completed, and if it is not completed, it will not be considered a win. So, he raised his head and stretched his neck, pinched his throat and learned to crow the rooster: "Oh oh
　　When Luban heard the rooster crow, he had to say goodbye to the villagers and stop work and go home. Halfway through, I met the watchman, and the husband asked with concern: "Is the master's bridge completed?" Lu Ban said: "There is still a breath of air, and the bridge deck has not been bridged." According to our prior agreement, the rooster crows. Now that the rooster has crowed, I have no choice but to throw in the towel! The husband "babbled" and said, "Strange! At this time, the second watch has not arrived, why does the rooster crow? Before the words fell, I saw the soldiers on the night patrol escorting a sneaky guy over, Lu Ban recognized at a glance that the person who was arrested was Zhao Xian, he was suspicious, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Why is the apprentice here?" Zhao Xian was ashamed and bowed his head silently. When the soldiers saw that Lu Ban knew Zhao Xian, they hurriedly bowed their hands and said: "This guy secretly learns to crow late at night, disturbing the people's hearts and affecting dormancy. In order to maintain the peace of the Yingcheng side, we seized it on the spot. When Lu Ban and his husband heard this, they immediately understood. Thinking of the relationship between master and apprentice, Lu Ban relied on his own face to ask the officers and soldiers for personal favors and released Zhao Xian. Zhao Xian was very grateful, knelt down in front of the master and promised: "Master Xie forgives, the disciple knows his mistake and will never dare again." Lu Banchang sighed and said: "As long as you have the sincerity to repent, learn art honestly, and be a down-to-earth person, you will still be my good apprentice in the future." After that, he helped Zhao Xian up, turned around, and the master and apprentice completed the construction of the bridge together.
　　When the Dragon King of the Four Seas heard that Lu Ban had built a bridge overnight, he was amazed, and they gathered under the bridge along the waterway to watch, and congratulated Lu Ban, and later generations called this bridge "Dragon Hui Bridge". When the Dragon King of the Four Seas came to see the bridge, he entered and exited the water gate in the east of Yingcheng, so people called this water gate "Dragon Gate".
　　In the second year, when there was a spring drought in Chu State, Lu Ban led his disciples to build many waterwheels and distribute them to the common people to get water to fight the drought, so as to solve the urgent need and eliminate the suffering of the people. A few days later, all the water in the ponds, weirs and harbors in the interior was drained by trucks, and the drought was still severe. Without water, large areas of farmland began to crack, and the seedlings withered and yellowed, and the direct consequence of this development was that there was no harvest. Lu Ban saw it in his eyes, was anxious in his heart, and when he was pacing and thinking, he suddenly saw the crystal lamp that had not yet been returned at home, so he had an idea and decided to ask the Dragon King of the East China Sea to rain to rescue him......
　　Although Zhao Xian's skills have improved greatly, Lu Ban does not treat him differently, but his fellow disciples and brothers all look down on him, and even discriminate against him. Lu Ban discovered this sign and intended to give Zhao Xian a chance to make meritorious service and atone for his crimes, so as to reshape his image and change the views of his brothers and sisters on him. Lu Ban handed over a wooden lamp and crystal lamp to Zhao Xian, and instructed: "Apprentice, when I competed with you to build a bridge last year, I borrowed a crystal lamp from Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, because of my night work. Today, you went to the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea on my behalf, and returned the crystal lamp to the owner to express my sincere gratitude; The second asked him to rain down for Chu Dipu and save the people of Li from fire and water. Although Zhao Xian was dishonest, he was still brave, and he agreed very happily, but just asked: "Master, the Dragon Palace is under the sea, how can I get there?" Lu Ban let out an "oh" sound, pointed to the object in his hand and explained: "These two lamps are treasures, you can go with confidence." As long as you don't leave one of the lights, you can go back to the bag. When you complete the mission, this wooden lamp will be your reward. ”
　　Zhao Xianyi, who was happy, approached the river, only to see that the river was separated, and the two sides were like a steep wall, showing in front of him were wide stone steps, flat and solid, after the person passed, the water behind him immediately recovered as before. Walking down the stairs, Zhao Xian looked at the two lamps in his hand, and thought to himself, they actually have such magical powers, they are really priceless! Especially the crystal lamp, the shape is elegant, crystal clear, and dazzling, which makes people love it, and the more you look at it, the more you like it. Zhao Xian, who was moved, felt that it was a pity to return it to the Dragon King, and besides, there was no shortage of such a thing in the Dragon Palace, so why not come and hide it, steal the beams and change the pillars, and take it for yourself!
　　When he arrived at the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea and met the Dragon King, Zhao Xian made Lu Ban return the lamp and asked for rain and disaster relief for the Chu State one by one. Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, has always admired Lu Ban, and when he heard that he sent someone, he didn't ask much, and he agreed, so he personally arranged for Shi Yun Buyu. Just instructed Prime Minister Gui Cheng to accept the lantern so that he could entertain the guests. Zhao Xian, who made the package adjustment plan, left the wooden lamp to hide the crystal lamp, he had a ghost in his heart, how could he stay for a long time, and hurriedly said goodbye. Prime Minister Gui warmly retained, but Zhao Xian insisted on leaving, so he had to be sent outside the palace gate to break up. When Prime Minister Gui Cheng returned to close the palace gate, unexpectedly, the turbulent sea water immediately engulfed Zhao Xian.
　　It turns out that the crystal lamp of the Dragon Palace hides a night pearl, which can be illuminated in the wind and rain; Luban's wooden lamp is equipped with a magical water bead, which can walk in water without getting his shoes wet. Zhao Xian, who didn't know the mystery, lost the protective function of dividing water beads because of greed for money, so he was buried at the bottom of the sea when he couldn't go ashore. Legend has it that he became a king after his death.
　　Zhao Xian finally failed to withstand the test of his master Lu Ban because of his dark psychology, and played his best to be clever, lifted a stone and smashed his own foot, and gave away his life. This story is widely circulated among the people of Hubei, and from this derives a sentence after the break: Zhao Xian sent the lampstand - once gone, never come. It is similar to "meat buns beating dogs - there is no return".
