Nothing is to blame

Chapter 105
After talking for half an hour, I found out that Zhongqu Island is almost the whole world for the ordinary people who live here.This generation called Zhongqu Island "Benzhou", which means the largest land in the world.

Most people knew that their ancestors were not natives of this place.In their cognition, Chongguo and Yuguo belonged to the same clan. Under the leadership of a leader named "Qi Zhengnong", they came here from another continent and gradually multiplied and spread their footprints all over the "main continent". every corner.

The genealogy of the monarchs of Chongguo and Yuguo today, all traced back to their ancestors, are all descended from Qi Zhengnong.

More than [-] years ago, Yu Xuanzong moved the population, but no practitioners came forward.That Qi Zhengnong was the leader of the wealthy clan who was secretly controlled by Yu Xuanzong's family, and he was the one who presided over the migration to the barren sea.

Gui Wujiu entered the Yueheng sect to practice since he was a child. Although he has some understanding of the distinction between heaven and man, and the separation between immortals and mortals, he still stays in the slips.Talking with the old man at this time, I suddenly had a different feeling, and I also had some guesses about Yu Xuanzong's move to relocate ordinary people.

For a time, the old and the young talked about the past and the present, and it was very speculative.

The old man's eyes were sharp, seeing that Gui Wugui Zhou had no luggage, he persuaded him: "Young man, even if you spend a lot of money, you can't afford to live in an inn for a long time. You still have to think carefully about it."

Without waiting for Gui Wugui to answer, the old man said again: "I think you are also literate. It is not difficult to find a job as a teacher in a rural school. But now the teaching certificates are issued by the auditorium, and it is necessary to get the teacher's approval. It will take at least half a year to go through the six tests. The old man has some connections, which can help you find a job in the carpentry workshop of Baigongsi in the city. You can get six yuan a day and take care of two meals. It is enough for you."

Gui Wujiu said in a dumb voice: "I'm an heir to the family of poems and books, and I'm not proficient in carpentry. I'm afraid I can't take on this job."

The old man hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Maybe you don't know that the carpentry skills of our Wencheng are far from those of other cities. You can master the skill in two days."

The old man put the Lusheng in his arms, and explained the mystery in detail for Gui Wugui.

It turns out that the carpenters in other lands are all handled by one person, and they cannot be matured unless they have been immersed in this way for more than ten years.Apprentices who follow the master carpenter, leave the teacher once every three years, and leave the teacher three times before they can establish themselves.

This is not the case in Wencheng. Whether it is roof beams or furniture, Wencheng wooden wares are made of nine types of materials, and each shape is divided into nine grades according to size and length.For example, beam materials of the fifth grade are generally two feet four inches long, three inches wide, and two inches four inches high, with concave holes of one inch long, wide, and deep cut out in the middle, without exception.Except for [-] kinds of different materials and [-] kinds of supplementary materials, all other wooden utensils, without exception, are spliced ​​and assembled from nine types and nine grades of materials in different numbers.

The craftsmen in the carpentry workshop are also divided into three classes, known as master craftsmen, master craftsmen, and small craftsmen.

The master craftsman is first-class, and is responsible for the carving and decoration after the utensils are formed, so as to make them magnificent and colorful.This is a technique that is close to art, and is actually closer to the identity of a painter.

Dagong and his like are responsible for the process of splicing and assembling.Seek that what you make is in a suitable shape, durable and firm.

Small workers and the like only need to master the processing technology of one of the "nine categories and nine grades".Even a foolish person can learn it in three or four days.

The old man said that the position he got for Gui Wugui was just a "small worker".

Gui Wugui smiled and listened quietly to the old man's explanation, like a bystander, neither agreeing nor refusing.

The old man said again: "There are two spare rooms in the old man's house. If you want, the old man can share one with you. This way you can save the two pennies for staying in the hotel."

The boy on the right side of the steps had put his chin in his hands after eating the bee sugar cake, quietly watching the other six or seven children play.At this moment, he suddenly said: "Lao Lu, save yourself. This person is not the same as your granddaughter, and you can't drag them together."

Just listening to what this boy said, it is absolutely difficult to combine it with this childish face.However, the old man blushed when he heard the child's words, and shouted: "What do you know, you naughty boy?"

It turned out that the old man's name was Lu Benfang, and his family was fairly well-to-do in the local Fangguo household in Wencheng.He has a granddaughter named Lu Ru, who looks and behaves well.None of the men of the same age in the distant villages and neighbors could catch the old man Lu's eyes.

If it is said that the elders rely on the color of their daughters, it is common for the elders to seek wealth and wealth. Naturally, there will be such rich children who covet beauty and beauty.

However, Lu Benfang is different, this old man is quite arty and different.In his opinion, those dudes who covet Lu Ru's beauty are either vulgar or uneducated, or crooked, even if the family has a little money, they can't satisfy him at all.

He chatted with Gui Wugui for an hour, only felt that this young man had a handsome appearance and a gentle conversation.It turned out to be a matchmaking idea.

Only then did Gui Wugui know what the old man was up to, and he smiled slightly, but he didn't think he was disobedient.It's just that this child looks yellow and thin, not amazing, but he is a clever person.

Lu Benfang lived a long time, and was told by a boy, the more he thought about it, the more embarrassed he became.Just as he was about to continue to criticize the boy, he heard the child say to Gui Wugui: "Your eyes are very similar to my elder sister. I think you are a good match for my elder sister."

Gui Wugui couldn't help but smile, he just exposed the old man Lu, how dare this kid is also a matchmaker?
But Gui Wugui still smiled and asked: "Where is your sister? Can you let me meet?"

But the boy lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I watched my sister walk into the fantasy abyss step by step. She never came back."

The smile on Gui Wugui's face suddenly faded.

"Huan Yuan" is the common people's name for the canyon in the middle of Zhongqu Island.

Ascetics naturally know that it is surrounded by a deep valley hundreds of feet wide, cutting off a land boundary.But in the eyes of ordinary people, this is not the case. The dense fog obstructs the view, and the entire central island is regarded as a bottomless pit with a radius of hundreds of miles, so it is called "Phantom Abyss".

Lu Benfang sneered: "Young man, don't listen to this kid's nonsense. When this kid was three years old, he moved to Wencheng with his grandfather, and became neighbors with the old man. The old man asked his grandfather, whose ancestral home was from Yuncheng. Yuan is the most miraculous place in the world, it is located thousands of miles north at the junction of Chongguo and Yuguo. Where can he see it."

Lu Benfang said again: "What's more, this fantasy abyss is a bottomless abyss. If you step into the air and fall into it, you can't hear the sound for three days and three nights. You can walk in step by step, unless it is a ghost."

The boy pouted and frowned, obviously not convinced.Just as he was about to retort, a look of extreme pain suddenly appeared on his face, he covered his waist with his hands, and rolled down the steps.
