After half an hour of talking, Gui Wuyi realized that for the mortals who lived here, Zhongqu Island was almost the whole of this world. This generation called Zhongqu Island "this continent", which means the largest land between heaven and earth.

Their ancestors were not indigenous to the area, as most people know. In their cognition, Chongguo and Yuguo were originally a clan, and under the leadership of a leader named "Qi Zhengnong", they came here from a foreign continent and gradually multiplied, spreading people's footprints all over every corner of the "continent".

Nowadays, the genealogy of the monarchs of Chongguo and Yuguo, and the ancestors of the original are all after Qi Zhengnong.

More than 3,000 years ago, Yu Xuanzong migrated the population, and no cultivators came forward. That Qi Zhengnong is the leader of the Hao clan who is secretly controlled by Yu Xuanzong's family, and the person who presides over the migration of the barren sea on the surface.

Gui Wuyi has been practicing in the Yue Heng Sect since he was a child, and although he has some understanding of the difference between heaven and man and the separation between immortals and mortals, he has stayed in the book. At this time, after talking with this old man, he suddenly had a different feeling, and he also had some speculation about Yu Xuanzong's move to migrate mortals.

For a time, an old and a young man talked about the past and the present, and it was a deed.

The old man's eyes were sharp, and when he saw that he was not to blame, Zhou had no bags on his body, so he opened his mouth to persuade: "This descendant." Even if you are a little entangled, you can't afford to live in an inn for a long time. It's better to take care of it. ”

Without waiting to be blamed for answering, the old man said: "I think you are also literate and hyphenated." It is not difficult to find a job as a township school teacher. However, now the teachings are promulgated by the Auditorium, and it takes at least half a year to get the teacher's approval to go through six examinations. There are also some ways to help you find a job in the carpentry workshop of the city's hundred craftsmen. I can get six dollars a day for two meals. That's enough for you. ”

Gui Wuyi said dumbly: "In the next poetry and book heirloom, I am not proficient in carpentry." I'm afraid I can't take on this responsibility. ”

The old man hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry." Don't worry. You don't know that the carpentry skills of my Tattoo City are far from being comparable to those of the other cities. The difference is only the post door, and there is no way to say, after entering the door, there is a master to lead, and you can master the skills in two days. ”

The old man took the reed sheng in his arms and explained the mystery in detail for the sake of blamelessness.

It turns out that the carpentry in other realms, the whole set of work is handled by one person, and he cannot mature his hands unless he has been immersed in this way for more than ten years. Follow the apprentice of the carpentry master, and only after three years can he become a teacher, and only after three years can he set up his own family.

This is not the case with Wencheng woodware, regardless of the roof beam furniture, is made of nine types of materials, each of which is divided into nine grades according to the size and length. For example, the fifth class of beams is a general appearance of two feet four inches long, three inches wide, and two inches and four minutes high, and the concave holes with length, width, and depth are all one inch in the middle, without exception. Except for 24 kinds of different materials and 36 kinds of supplementary materials, all the rest of the wood are assembled by splicing and assembling nine types of materials with different numbers without exception.

The craftsmen of the carpentry workshop are also divided into three classes, known as the master craftsman, the big worker, and the small worker.

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

Dagong and others are responsible for the process of splicing and assembly. The shape of the things made is appropriate, durable and strong.

The flow of small workers only needs to master the processing process of one of the materials in the "nine categories and nine grades". Even for the foolish, three or four days is enough to learn.

The old man said that the position he obtained for the sake of being blameless is exactly the category of "small workers".

Gui Wuyi smiled and listened quietly to the old man's explanation, like a bystander, neither allowed nor refused.

The old man said: "There are also two redundant side rooms in the old man's house. If you want to, the old decay can be brought out with you. In this way, you can save the two pennies of staying in the hotel. ”

The boy on the right side of the stairs, who had been eating the bee candy cake, held his chin with his hands and quietly watched the other six or seven children playing. At this time, he suddenly spoke: "Lao Lu, save it." This person is not a person from your granddaughter, and you can't drag them together. ”

Listening to what this boy said, it was difficult to combine it with this childish face. However, when the old man heard the child's words, his face turned red, and he shouted, "What do you know about this naughty boy?"

It turned out that the old man's name was Lu Benfang, and his family background in the local Fangguo household in Wencheng was quite solid. He has a granddaughter named Lu Ru, and her appearance and character are all first-class. None of the men of the same age in the distant township and neighborhoods could get into the eyes of Old Man Lu.

If you want to say that the elders rely on the daughter in the family to have a certain color, it is common for them to want to climb high and rich, and naturally there are such rich children who covet beauty.

However, Lu Benfang is different, this old man has a different kind of vassal elegance. In his opinion, the people who coveted Lu Ru's beauty were either vulgar and unliterate, or crooked melons and cracked dates, even if the family had a little surplus wealth, it could not satisfy him at all.

He chatted with Gui Wuyi for an hour, only to feel that this later life was handsome and elegant, and he talked about Sven. actually started to think of matchmaking.

Only then did he know what the old man had in mind, and he smiled slightly, but he didn't think it was wrong. It's just that this child seems to have a yellow face and thin muscles, and his appearance is not amazing, but he is a clever person.

Lu Benfang lived a long time, and was told the central thing by a boy, and the more he thought about it, the more cramped he became. I was about to continue to count a few words from this boy, but I heard the child say to Gui Wu: "Your eyes are very similar to my sister's. I think you and my sister are a good match. ”

I can't help but blame it, I just exposed this old man Lu, dare to love this kid is also a matchmaker?

But Gui Wuyi still smiled and asked, "What about your sister?"

The boy lowered his head and whispered, "I watched my sister walk into the phantom abyss step by step. Never came back. ”

The smile on Gui Wuyi's face suddenly retracted.

"Phantom Abyss" is exactly what the mortals call the canyon in the middle of Zhongqu Island.

The monks naturally knew that it was a deep valley hundreds of zhang wide that was surrounded by a circle, cutting a piece of land. However, in the eyes of ordinary people, this is not the case, the fog is full of vision, and the entire central island is regarded as a bottomless pit with a radius of hundreds of miles, so it is called the "phantom abyss".

Lu Benfang sneered: "Housheng, don't listen to this kid's nonsense. When this kid was three years old, he and his grandfather moved to Tattoo City and became neighbors with the old man. The old man asked his grandfather, whose ancestral home is Yuncheng. That phantom abyss is the most magical place in heaven and earth, located at the junction of Chongguo and Yuguo thousands of miles in the north. Where is what he can see. ”

Lu Benfang said again: "What's more, this phantom abyss is a bottomless abyss. I stepped into the air and fell in, and I couldn't hear the sound for three days and three nights. You can walk in step by step, unless it's a demon or a monster. ”

The boy pouted and frowned, obviously unconvinced. He was about to sneer at each other, when suddenly a look of extreme pain appeared on his face, and he covered his ribs with his hands, and rolled down the steps.
