Volume 2 The Wind Rises and the End of Qingping Chapter 70 The Tao is insignificant
Although Gongsun Bo said this to everyone, his eyes kept staring at the man in brocade clothes among the four people in the group.
The old steward smiled playfully, as if he was deliberately answering the brocade man's previous sentence, "Other people's rules have only said the first point, and there are already people who don't want to listen to it, and there are two points behind it, but what should I do?"
He gave the answer.
Seeing that the scene suddenly quieted down, Gongsun Bo no longer returned to the second floor of the ferry, but simply stood on the first floor, standing in front of the group of dozens of qi refiners who had just crossed the boat from Yong'an, Canggeng Prefecture, and continued to talk about the last two rules of the ferry.
"The second point, on the Kunpeng ferry, no private fighting, no unauthorized injury and murder, once discovered, the old man will personally take action, will invite him out of the ferry, if the two really formed a beam on the ferry, or the kind that never dies, then under the witness of the old man, sign a life and death certificate, go to the viewing platform, and then open his fists and kicks. ”
An old steward who had just "committed suicide" turned his head and warned everyone that no unauthorized murder was allowed on the ferry, which was a little funny.
But when you think about it, it's not funny.
After all, the rules are made by the strong, and if someone wants to "reason", they must first ask if their fists are hard enough, otherwise the end will not be much better than that of the monk who was thrown down.
Everyone looked at the old steward with a serious face, and couldn't raise the slightest smile.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Gongsun Bo nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Very good, the last rule, I hope you will listen clearly, because the previous two rules, as long as you don't do too much, the old man can still turn a blind eye, but if someone breaks the last rule of the ferry, then ······"
He didn't make it clear what would happen to people who broke the rules.
But it didn't affect the people present to pay attention to it.
"On the Kunpeng ferry, it is not allowed to damage the ferry, including the boundary on the edge of the ferry, once it is detected by the old man or any of the worshippers on the ferry, the consequences will be borne by yourself!"
After saying three o'clock, Gongsun Bo changed into a harmless appearance of livestock, with a kind smile, like an approachable and kind-hearted old man.
The girl in black, the white-haired old woman, and the man in brocade followed the woman wearing a thin veil to rest upstairs, and above the second floor, there were ferry maids who were responsible for receiving the monks, guiding them to their respective guest rooms, and then explaining to the monks in detail about the functions of each floor of the ferry.
People are impetuous and helpless.
But the funny thing is that when the person who explained the details to everyone changed from an old steward of the ferry with white temples to a beautiful maid on the ferry, the monks were willing to listen to it again, and even wished that the maid of the ferry could talk more, in detail, in depth, and preferably in the room, slowly.
When everyone had already gone upstairs, Gongsun Bo caught a glimpse of a young swordsman in a green shirt at the railing of the ferry, and for some reason did not go up to the second floor.
The old steward slowly walked to the young man in green shirt and said with a smile: "If you want to enjoy the scenery, the viewing platform on the top floor of the ferry has the best scenery, there is actually nothing to see here." ”
Li Zijin turned around, raised his hand and hugged his fist at the old man, and said, "Dare to ask Senior Gongsun, how long will it take to go to Buye Mountain?"
Gongsun Bo said without thinking: "If there is no accident, it will be there in a month and a half." ”
"Then the Morning Snow Festival again?" Li Zijin glanced at himself from a distance after catching a glimpse of the girl in black going upstairs, but his eyes should be staring at the Cuiqu sword behind him.
Gongsun Bo didn't care, and patiently explained to the young man: "In fact, the Chaoxue Festival can be regarded as a great event in the world, and the monks from all over the world gather together and live in the Sleepless Mountain for half a month, and you can feel the changes of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter in just half a month, which is not amazing." And in this half a month, the sleepless mountain will be held one after another to ask the sword, the martial arts, the broad cold reward, sit on the road and many other grand events, in the end all the grand events are over, the sleepless mountain will have a heavy snowfall, announced not only the 'winter' of the sleepless mountain, but also the winter of the whole Fuyao world, it can be said that in the half-moon time of the sleepless mountain, all together can be called the morning snow festival. ”
"I see, thank you for the seniors of Gongsun for solving my doubts. Li Zijin raised his hand and clenched his fists, and then went straight to the second floor of the ferry.
Gongsun Bo smiled and said that you don't have to be polite, and watched the young man leave.
————
Li Zijin felt that the service of the Kunpeng ferry was actually quite in place.
The other party is even so meticulous that it can arrange maids of different ages and personalities to serve the ferry passengers according to different monks.
For example, at this moment, the person who is leading the young man to a guest room on the third floor is a maid of the same age as Li Zijin.
She was dressed in a light emerald cigarette shirt, a green pleated skirt, delicate, willow eyebrows and almond eyes, red lips and white teeth, extremely cute. Although he is young, his figure is already slim, with a quiet smile on his face that does not match his age.
"Childe, this is your room. The maid in the green shirt pushed open the door of a room, took the lead in crossing the threshold, and gave Li Zijin a blessing inside.
The young man nodded, wanting to return the salute, but he didn't know the rules of the people on the mountain, in the face of a maid of a similar age, whether he should hold his fist or what, plus he was already shy in the face of a strange woman.
So the hand hovers in the air, looking a little helpless.
The girl smiled, but instead of laughing at the boy's helplessness, she simply felt that this boy was different from the other passengers she had served on weekdays.
It looks silly, but it's cute.
The girl couldn't help laughing and said, "Childe doesn't have to return the courtesy, the status of the kite is low, if there is anything wrong with the son, just give the order, and the kite lives next to it." ”
Kite pointed to the left side of the room, where there was a curtain, behind which was a small bed, where the maids lived on the ferry.
These poor girls, even if they managed to find a way to earn a living on the fairy ferry, were actually adrift and homeless, tossing and turning in different rooms and serving different guests every day.
But it's still much better than those dusty women in Yingyan Tower, at least a maid like Kite, just a maid, although her status is low, she still has a dignity at all, even if this dignity is not very valuable.
Li Zijin was a little embarrassed and asked, "You want to live here too?"
Strictly speaking, he actually hasn't lived in the same room with a woman, so he will be a little uncomfortable, Su Hu also lived next door to the teenager most of the time, and the two were separated by a wall, but they still kept a distance.
Now that you have come to this Kunpeng ferry, why did you have to share a room with a strange girl?
In Li Zijin's eyes, the discomfort is commonplace in Zhao Yuan's eyes, she has grown up on this Kunpeng ferry since she was a child, and the kite, who was abandoned when she was born, was picked up and raised by the old steward of the ferry, so for Gongsun Bo, for this Kunpeng ferry, in fact, she is more or less grateful.
There are actually a lot of girls like Kites.
Some of them, because of the war, lost their relatives and homes, were lonely and homeless, so they were adopted by ferry, grew up on this Kunpeng, and became a maid.
The owner of the Kunpeng ferry, as well as the old steward Gongsun Bo, treated them very well, and did not force them to go to the Yingyan Tower to act as a cash cow. ”
Some people, in order to get ahead, glory and wealth, choose to go to Yingyan Tower.
Some of them, who felt that it would be enough to have a place to sleep, to have enough to eat, and to get a small reward from the passengers once in a while, stayed and the boys were to be sidekicks or chores on the ferry, and the girls were like kites, to be maids and serve the passengers of the ferry.
There are also some children who were picked up by the ferry, and when they grow up, they want to leave the Kunpeng ferry, but no one stops them, and when they leave, Gongsun Bo will give them some secular dynasty silver as a parting gift, which can be said to be benevolent and righteous.
Whether it was the people who stayed on the Kunpeng ferry, or the teenagers and girls who left the ferry, they were all grateful to the old steward and the ferry.
Kite smiled: "Yes, this is the rule of the ferry, the maids are all living in a room with the guests, otherwise some guests have a whim at night, and they want to go upstairs and downstairs, and they can't find the way, or they don't know the rules, which is inconvenient." There is a kite by the side to serve the child, and when the time comes, whether the son wants to go to the observation deck to enjoy the scenery, or the fishing platform to fish, or ······"
Without waiting for Kite to finish speaking, Li Zijin asked curiously, "Fishing?"
The girl squinted her eyes and explained with a smile: "I want to come to Gongzi This is the first time to take the Xianjia ferry, basically all the Xianjia ferries will have a 'fishing platform', which can be used by passengers to catch some 'cloud passengers', flowers, birds, fish and insects, all kinds of strange things, everything, all of them are absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, and they came into being above these nine heavens, and were conceived by the essence of the sun and the moon."
Li Zijin's eyes widened, he didn't expect to take a fairy ferry, and there were so many strange things? He suddenly began to wonder, whether those 'cloud guests' on the fishing platform were really so magical and interesting as Kite said.
Next, Kite told the young man who was taking the Xianjia ferry for the first time about many new things on the Kunpeng ferry, which were things that Li Zijin had never heard of in Taiping County.
For the first time, he felt that the world outside was so big.
It's so big that everything before, so unreal, so unreal.
As if it had never happened.
Up and down the mountain.
Is it really a world of difference, the difference between cloud and mud?
Previously, he saw the war of the secular dynasty, and the people on the mountain intervened and killed the people under the mountain, which was as simple as crushing an ant.
Today, on top of Kunpeng, I saw the old steward of the ferry, and threw a monk who was also a mountain man off the ferry.
Only then did Li Zijin understand.
It turned out that it was not the people on the mountain who regarded the people under the mountain as mustard.
It is the strong who regard the weak as grass mustard.
In the teenager's mind, this is not right.
Such a "Tao" is really "insignificant".
