Chapter 55: Shore Crossing
As the saying goes, the benevolent man enjoys the mountain, and the wise man enjoys the water.
The so-called combination of mountains and rivers, into the scenery, singing the beauty of the mountains and rivers, throughout the ages, how many. Not to mention the 10,000 volumes of poetry left by the countless literati, it is just a picture scroll of Dan Qingsheng splashing ink like a sea, and it has long been engraved the colors of the mountains and rivers in Kyushu in the world.
Jingzhou's Yunmeng Daze is like the majestic Mount Tai in Qingzhou, which is the most in a state.
This Daze is located in the land of Jingchu, with dense waterways and many rivers and lakes. It has a long history, starting from Liangzhou, passing through Yangzhou, and flowing into the sea all the way east. The river connects the east and west banks of Yunmeng Daze, the west of Yunmeng is called Chuntao, and the east of Yunmeng is called Xinrao. Its waves are beautiful, vast and wide, attracting countless immortals and people who are obsessed with water. Around Daze, there are countless shore crossings, and thousands of romantic restaurants compete for it.
The sky is clear, the wind is as calm as a mirror, and this is the most beautiful time of the year in Yunmeng Daze.
If you are on the shore with lush grass in the south, as long as you look at the water, you will see countless deciduous boats floating on the water of Daze.
"Uncle Shuisheng, I heard the Shen kid from the next door say that on our Yunmeng Shuize, there will be a sect of immortals on the mountain to accept apprentices, is it true? Uncle Shuisheng, have you heard of it? ”
"What's the matter, Liu Wazi, you want to learn from a teacher, don't you?"
The child named Liu Wazi hurriedly lowered his head and said, "No, I'm just curious." Besides, how is it possible, in this family, my mother still needs someone to take care of it. I'm going to apprentice with the gods in the mountains, it's impossible. ”
"Baby, you can go if you want. Your mother kisses her, in fact, she is also looking forward to your success. The man who was called Uncle Shui Sheng by Liu Wazi smiled.
"Uncle Shuisheng, don't say it again, I won't give up my mother to go outside." Liu Wazi shook her little head and said.
"Liu Wazi, you can't stay here all the time. Young baby, it's time to go out and see the world. This big water is both big and big, but it can be said to be small and small. Let's take a look outside, it's very big in the world. You're not small, it's time to marry a girl. Uncle Shui quipped.
"Uncle Shuisheng, this joke can't be made, be careful that I won't tell you in the future. Well, I'm still young. Liu Wazi blushed and said hurriedly.
"Hahaha, I'll just tell you, what are you anxious about. Look at you, your baby's face is all red. Uncle Shui laughed.
"Oh, Uncle Shuisheng, why are you laughing at me?" Liu Wazi shouted disobediently.
"Hahaha." Uncle Shui covered his stomach happily.
The two men were laughing, but then an indifferent voice broke the joy.
"Hey, boatman, we're going to buy some bamboo raft boats."
As soon as the man named Uncle Shui heard that someone wanted to buy a bamboo raft, he hurriedly turned back to look.
I saw a group of young men wearing brocade wide-sleeved robes and white jade hanging from their belts behind him.
"A few Hakkas, do you want to take a bamboo raft to play on the water? But do you want someone to lead the way and support the boat for you? Uncle Shui said enthusiastically.
A young man glared at him and shouted: "Where did you get so much nonsense, ask you to sell bamboo rafts, you just sell them, hurry up and speak." ”
"Oh, okay, yes, there's a raft, you can have as much as you want. How many Hakkas, I don't know how many you want to buy? Uncle Shui Sheng still said enthusiastically.
"Ten."
"Okay, I'll go find someone and bring ten new rafts. A few Hakka, please wait a while. Uncle Shui Sheng bent down and said happily.
"Go and get back."
"Liu Wazi, you just wait here first." Uncle Shui Sheng told Liu Wazi.
"Oh, good. Go ahead, Uncle Shuisheng. Liu Wazi nodded back.
"Hurry up, don't grind."
Uncle Shui ran away from here with all his might, and hurriedly found someone to build the ten bamboo rafts.
Liu Wazi sat on the shore and waited, because she couldn't bear the curiosity in her heart, so she secretly looked at the group of people.
"Hey, stinky boy, what the are you looking at here."
After Liu Wazi was scolded, she quickly lowered her head and looked at her trouser leg, pulled out a bamboo silk from the side, and made a straw thing.
"Okay, Boyu, what do you say you're yelling at with a child?"
"Hmph, thief-eyed, looking at his appearance, I get angry."
This young man named Boyu said a few more words, and then closed his mouth.
It didn't take long for the man named Uncle Shui Sheng to run back.
But even if he came back quite quickly, he was still counted out by the young man named Boyu: "I said where did you go and why did you come back." Even if you report to Lord Yama and reincarnate again, it will be faster than you. And what about our bamboo rafts? Where is the bamboo raft? ”
"The new bamboo raft is set up in a pergola on the shore, and there is no water in sight. Don't worry, a few Hakkas, here, just come. Uncle Shui Sheng hurriedly explained.
Before he finished speaking, he only heard a whistle, and saw someone rowing from Yunmeng Daze and bringing ten bamboo rafts.
"A few people, Hakka, this is the bamboo raft you want, all of which are newly made. This is the first time to enter the water, not only the draft is shallow, the line is light, and it is tightly tied, and it can't slip at all. Uncle Shui said.
"Alright, that's all." The young man named Boyu said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a piece of jade seed from his belt and threw it on the ground.
"That's probably enough, so much should be enough to take it to a bar."
Uncle Shui Sheng picked up the jade seed from the ground, nodded and said, "Thank you Hakka, thank you Hakka." ”
When this group came to the water's edge, they didn't use the penny on the bamboo raft, but as soon as they stepped on the green bamboo raft with two feet, the whole bamboo raft quickly floated towards the front.
Looking at this incredible scene in front of him, Uncle Shui Sheng was fascinated and said, "Hey, Liu Wazi, do you see it?" This should be the god on the mountain. You don't need a penny to be able to sail, that's amazing. ”
Liu Wazi glanced at the group of so-called mountain immortals in front of her, and lowered her head to play with the bamboo in her hand.
"Shuisheng, I'll go back first, you must remember to invite me to drink when you come back." The man with the raft shouted as he propped up the penny.
"Don't worry, I can't forget you." Uncle Shui Sheng shouted with a smile.
Turning around, looking at Liu Wazi's expression, Uncle Shui Sheng asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" Liu Wazi. You look, hiss, it seems like you're a little unhappy, right? ”
"It's okay, Uncle Shuisheng, I'm fine, but I'm a little homesick." Liu Wazi said sullenly.
"Okay, don't be upset, huh, what do you think this is?" Uncle Shui Sheng put the jade seed in front of Liu Wazi's eyes and said.
"Isn't it just a rock? Those people were so unreasonable and deceived us with stones on ten Hsinchu rafts. Liu Wazi didn't even look at it, lowered her head and pouted.
"Hey, what are you talking about. This is a stone, this is called jade. Uncle Shui explained.
"Jade? What's that? Liu Wazi asked with a frown.
"Baby." Uncle Shui Sheng raised his eyebrows and said.
"Baby?" Liu Wazi didn't believe it.
"Well, you baby, Uncle Shui will still lie to you. It's a good thing, it can buy a couple of big boatloads of mackerel. Uncle Shui Sheng said with his arms outstretched.
"Oh my God, is it so expensive?" Liu Wazi was taken aback when she heard this.
"No, it's precious. When you were young, Uncle Shuisheng, I went to the big cities in the east, and some jade pieces about the same size as a jade seed were carved into many shapes, such as cows, sheep, insects, and villains, which were so expensive that they could buy tens of thousands of bamboo rafts. Uncle Shui tilted his head and looked at the sky and recalled.
After listening to what Uncle Shui Sheng said, Liu Wazi was so shocked that her mouth opened wide.
"Look at your stupid appearance, let's go, let's go back, buy a whole lot of donkey meat with lotus leaves, ask Grandpa for a few big fat fish that you just caught, wear willows and take them away, and then buy a big pot of wine, let's invite everyone to have a good meal." Uncle Shui said heartily.
"And who should I look for here?" Liu Wazi scratched her head and made trouble again.
"Hey, what else does this look at, just today's deal, can top our year's work. Let's go, let's go back first. Uncle Shui looked at Liu Wazi and patted his head and said.
"Okay." Liu Wazi also responded with a smile.
At this time, Liu Wazi took the bamboo in her hand to play, and followed Uncle Shui to go back happily.
And on Yun Mengze, the group of young monks were also talking on the bamboo raft.
"Is the message true? Let's not come here for nothing. ”
"It's true, I've said it several times, and you've asked it several times, so it's not annoying, it's still over."
"Well, be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Ship."
"It's just that it's always right to be careful."
"Hmph, be careful, be careful with a fart. If you are careful and useful, how many of us still need to come to Yunmeng Daze? Master, the old man has been careful all his life, and he has not been bitten to death by that group of white-eyed wolves. ”
"Boyu, okay, you can say a few words."
"Say less? Why don't you think we're here for a spring outing? Look at us, look at us, we're just like wild dogs, fleeing all the way south just for a bite to eat. ”
"That's enough."
A monk who had been closing his eyes and not speaking opened his eyes and shouted at the monk named Bo Yu, "Bo Yu, pay attention to the tone of your speech. Yes, we're not here for a spring outing, but we're not here to beg for food. If you don't want to, get out of here now, it's still too late. Otherwise, shut your mouth for me. ”
It seemed that this young monk was quite prestigious in this group, and after some reprimand, the monk named Boyu lowered his head and stopped talking.
"Right now, how long will we have to go?"
"It's not far away, almost, and there's another time for a stick of incense."
"Fellow disciples, we have come all the way here, and we want to apprentice to another master, so that after we have achieved success, we can clear the door for our already destroyed master and avenge our master. When you arrive at the meeting place, you must be blind and dumb, and you must not repeat the incident and fight with others. ”
Everyone responded, "Yes." ”
Seeing that it was getting late, all the boatmen on Yunmeng Daze put away the bamboo rafts, leaned on the edge of the shore ferry, tied them with ropes, and went home.
Because he was not familiar with the road to Yunmeng Daze, Fang Shuo and the gray-clothed monk who met by chance on the road and walked together came to Yunmeng Daze at this time.
"Alas, I almost missed the hour, but I was lucky to catch up, otherwise it would have been a wasted trip." Fang Shuo sighed and rejoiced.
"But what can we do now that there is no boat to cross?" The gray-clad monk said helplessly.
"Brother Xun, there are bamboo rafts all over here, why are you distressed?" Fang Shuo asked.
"Although there is a bamboo raft, it does not belong to me." The gray-robed monk shook his head.
"Shall we borrow two?" Fang Shuo said with a smile.
