One of enough half double-hour talked, Gui Wujiu knows, to living the common person of this place, Zhongqu Island was almost the entirety of this heaven and earth. This generation calls it „this continent” Zhongqu Island, the meaning is among heaven and earth the biggest place land. 足足半个时辰的一番交谈下来,归无咎才知道,对居住于此地的凡民来说,中曲岛几乎就是这方天地的全部。此辈将中曲岛称之为“本洲”,意即天地间最大的地陆。 Their ancestor not this farmland, this point most people are being know. In their cognition, Chong Country and Yu Country are clan, in named „Qi Zhengnong” under the leader leads, arrives at this place from the different continent, gradually multiplies to live, the footprint of person is found in „this continent” each corner. 他们祖上并非此地土著,这一点绝大多数人是知晓的。在他们的认知中,崇国、羽国本是一族,在一位名为“齐正农”的领袖带领下,自异洲降临此地,逐渐繁衍生息,将人的脚印遍布于“本洲”的每一个角落。 Nowadays Chong Country and Yu Country two countries monarch genealogy, traces back to a source traces the ancestor, after is Qi Zhengnong . 现今崇国、羽国两国国君族谱,推原溯祖,都是齐正农之后。 More than 3000 years ago the Remaining Profundity Sect migration population, in the person by cultivate the dao has not acted. The wealthy and powerful family leader who that Qi Zhengnong, receives a Remaining Profundity Sect lower sect control in secret, on manages the person of migration Desolate Sea outwardly. 三千余年之前余玄宗迁移人口,并未由修道中人出面。那齐正农,正是暗中受余玄宗一家下宗控制的豪族首领,明面上主持迁徙荒海之人。 Gui Wujiu enters Yueheng Sect cultivation since the childhood, regarding some separation of no doubt sensibility division and immortal and mortal celestial/heaven and human, but stays in the letters. At this time and this old man conversation, has a different kind sensibility immediately, had a guess to the action of Remaining Profundity Sect migration common person. 归无咎自幼年起进入越衡宗修行,对于天人之分、仙凡之隔固然有些感悟,但是都停留在书简之中。此时和这老者一番交谈,顿时生出一番别样感悟,对余玄宗迁徙凡民的举动也产生了一番猜测。 Suddenly, one old and one young discussed freely the past and present, got along well very much. 一时间,一老一少纵论古今,很是投契。 This old man is sharp-eyed, sees the Gui Wujiu whole body not travel bag, opens the mouth to urge: „This young man. Even if you somewhat wind around, the long summer days live in the inn cannot withstand to be extravagant squander. Must haggle over properly is.” 这老者眼尖,见归无咎周身上下并无行囊,开口劝道:“这位后生。你即便有些盘缠,长日住在客栈也经不起靡费。还是要妥善计较才是。” Does not need Gui Wujiu to reply, this old man also said: „I thought that you are also literate. Seeking duty of the rural private school teacher works as is not difficult. However now teaches the official document to promulgate by Rites Managing Hall, the teacher written instructions must experience six to test fine, at least needs six months. Some old man also methods, can help you in all various crafts division in the wooden workshop in the city seek a manual labor but actually. Every day can get six money, the manages two meal. Enough you used to spend.” 不待归无咎回答,这老者又道:“我看你也是个识文断字的。谋一个乡塾教师之职当也不难。但是如今教牒均由司礼堂颁布,要得了教师批文要经历六考,至少需要半年时间。老朽倒也有些门路,可以助你在城中百工司中木工坊内寻一个活计。每日能得六钱,管两餐。足够你用度了。” Gui Wujiu speechless saying: „Hands down from generation to generation below poetry book, is not skilled in the carpenter together. Perhaps cannot take on this.” 归无咎哑然道:“在下诗书传家,并不精通木工一道。恐怕不能担当此任。” The old men beckon with the hand to say hastily: „It is not important. It is not important. Perhaps you do not know, my Wen City other carpenter technique not various cities may compare. What difference is only the specified number of personnel method, can't a saying, passing through the gate later have the master to lead, two days then can grasp the technique.” 老者连忙摆手道:“不打紧。不打紧。许是你并不知晓,我纹城的木工技艺远非其余诸城可比。差的只是员额门路,并没有会不会一说,进门之后有师傅领着,两日便能掌握了技艺。” The old men receive reed pipe in the bosom, is the Gui Wujiu careful illustration is mysterious. 老者将芦笙收在怀中,为归无咎细细解说其中奥妙。 Originally other carpenters of boundary, the complete set manual labor are handled by one person, the non field of endeavor more than ten years cannot become the practised hand gradually. The apprentice who follows the carpenter master, three years finishes an apprenticeship, three finish an apprenticeship to be able the independence main house gate. 原来其他地界的木工,全套活计均由一人操办,非浸淫此道十余年不能成熟手。跟随木工师傅的学徒,三年一出师,三出师才能自立家门。 Wen City is actually not so, the Wen City wooden article regardless of the room beam furniture, is made by the materials of nine kinds of constructions, each construction is divided into ninth grade according to the big or small length. For example balk-timber fifth grade, is the general two chi (0.33 m) four cuns (2.5 cm), three cuns (2.5 cm) width, two cuns (2.5 cm) four points of high look, the middle knocks out, width long, deeply is one inch concave hole, without exception. The abatement 24 types of extraordinary talents and 36 types make up beside the material, other wooden articles, without any exception by number nine kinds of ninth grade material splicing assemblies varying. 纹城却不是如此,纹城木器无论屋梁家具,均由九类形制的材料制成,每种形制按照大小长短划分为九等。譬如梁材第五等,均是一般的二尺四寸长、三寸宽、两寸四分高的相貌,中间凿出长、宽、深均为一寸的凹孔,无一例外。除却二十四种异材、三十六种补材之外,其余所有木器,无一例外的由数目各异的九类九等材料拼接组装。 The artisan in wooden workshop is also divided from this third-class, is known as the master craftsman, the big labor and unskilled laborer. 木工坊的匠人也由此分为三等,号称大匠、大工、小工。 Master craftsmen first-class, what is responsible is the utensil forms the later carving embellishments, is sure its varied and bright however to pick magnificently. This is by the technique, but nearly the skill, with is actually close to the status of artist. 大匠一流,负责的是器物成形之后的雕镂藻饰,务使其瑰丽多姿、焕然有采。这是由技而近乎艺,和其实和画师的身份更为接近。 The class/flow of big labor, what is responsible is splices the assembly the process. Asked to make the shape to make the suitable, durable firm. 大工之流,负责的是拼接组装的过程。求所作之物形制得宜,耐用坚牢。 The class/flow of unskilled laborer, actually only need grasp „nine kinds of ninth grade” the concocting craft of one material. Even the next simple-minded person, 34 days still learned sufficiently. 小工之流,却只需掌握“九类九等”中其中一种材料的炮制工艺。即便是下愚之人,三四日也足以学会了。 The old men said that is position that Gui Wujiu seeks, is „unskilled laborer” one kind. 老者说为归无咎谋得的位置,正是“小工”一类。 Gui Wujiu smiles calmly is listening to the old man to illustrate, just like an observer, did not consent, does not reject. 归无咎微笑着静静听老者解说,宛如一个旁观者,既不应允,也不拒绝。 The old men also said: „In old man also has two spare side rooms. If you intend, old man may find one and you. So then can save that two writing money of lodging inn.” 老者又道:“老朽家中倒也有两间多余的偏房。你若有意,老朽可匀出一间来与你。如此便能省下了住宿旅店的那两文钱。” The stair right side that young lad, finished eating the beehive sponge cake , after originally both hands hold the chin, calmly looks that other 67 children play. 台阶右侧那童子,原本吃完蜂糖糕之后双手托着下巴,静静看着其余六七个孩童嬉戏。 At this time suddenly opened the mouth saying: „Old Lu, save it. This person and your granddaughter is not a passer-by, you cannot entrain to go together.” Listens to the words that this young lad spoke only, and young face will unify certainly difficultly. However the old man listened to the word of this young child, is shameless one red, shouted: „What does your naughty child know?” However his manner, was clearly said the concern. 这时突然开口道:“老陆,省省吧。这人和你孙女不是一路人,你拽不到一起去的。”单听这童子所说的话,绝难将之和这张稚脸结合起来。然而老者听了这稚童之言,却老脸一红,喝道:“你这顽童又知道些什么？”但是他这副神态,分明是被说中了心事。 Originally this old man named Lu Benfang, the family property in Wen City local work place Guo door/household is rich. He has granddaughter boudoir Lu Ru, the appearance moral behavior is superior. This far township close neighbor did not have one to enter the Old Man Lu eye about the age man unexpectedly. 原来这老者名为陆本芳,在纹城本地的坊郭户中家底还算殷实。他有一孙女闺名陆茹,模样人品都是上等。这远乡近邻的合龄男子竟无一个入得了陆老头眼的。 Must say that the elder depends in the family/home the daughter somewhat color, if wants the seeking friendships riches and honor also to be the routine matter, naturally has that and other rich families of saliva beauty to submit. 要说长辈仗着家中女儿有几分颜色,要想高攀富贵也是常事,自然有那等垂涎美色的富家子入彀。 However Lu Benfang is different, this old quite some different kind interests of posing as a cultured person. That drooled the playboy child of Lu Ru beauty in his opinion, is not does not have the article vulgarly, is the worthless people, even in the family/home somewhat odd/surplus wealth/fiscal cannot make him satisfy. 然而陆本芳却不一样,此老颇有些附庸风雅的别样情致。那等垂涎陆茹美色的纨绔子在他看来,不是庸俗无文,就是歪瓜裂枣,就算家里有几分余财也丝毫不能让他满意。 He and Gui Wujiu chatted a double-hour, only thinks that this young man look is elegant, the style of speaking is refined. Has the thoughts that reconciled to marry into the wife's household unexpectedly. 他和归无咎聊了一个时辰,只觉这后生相貌俊雅,谈吐斯文。竟是起了撮合入赘的心思。 Gui Wujiu only knows what idea that the old man has, shows a faint smile, pours and thinks little. This child is seemingly emaciated, ordinary, is actually a smart person. 归无咎这才知道老者打的什么主意,微微一笑,倒并不以为忤。只是这孩童看似面黄肌瘦,貌不惊人,却是个机灵的人。 Lu Benfang lived in a big way one age, was said the concern by a young lad, wants to be cramped. Will continue to scold this boy several, actually listens to this child to say to Gui Wujiu: „Your eye, looks like with my elder sister very much. I thought that you and my elder sister is a match very much.” 陆本芳活了一大把年纪,被一个童子说中心事,愈想愈是局促。正要继续数落这小子几句,却听这孩童对归无咎道:“你的眼睛,和我阿姊很像。我觉得你和我阿姊很般配。” Gui Wujiu cannot help but smile, just revealed this Old Man Lu, indeed is this boy also acts as a matchmaker? 归无咎不由莞尔,刚刚揭穿了这陆老者,敢情这小子也是个做媒的？ But Gui Wujiu smiles to ask: „Your elder sister? One side the convenience does make me see?” 但归无咎还是笑问道:“你阿姊呢？方便让我见一面吗？” This young lad actually lowers the head, small sound said: „I look that the elder sister enters Illusion Abyss step by step. Has not come back again.” 这童子却低下头来,小声道:“我看着阿姊一步一步走进幻渊。再也没有回来。” On the Gui Wujiu face the smile restrains immediately. 归无咎脸上笑容顿时收敛起来。 „Illusion Abyss” the name of common person's center that canyon to Zhongqu Island. “幻渊”正是凡民对中曲岛正中那道峡谷的称呼。 cultivator naturally knows, that is a magical skill hundred zhang (333 m) wide canyon link becomes, separates a stretch of boundary. However in common person opinion is actually not so, the bad fog fills the line of sight to be blocked, the entire central island was regarded a surrounding area several hundred li (0.5 km) bottomless gulf, therefore is called „Illusion Abyss”. 修道之士自然知晓,那是一道数百丈宽的深谷环成一圈,割裂出一片地界。但是在凡民看来却不是如此,大雾弥漫视线受阻,整个中心岛被当成一块方圆数百里的无底深坑,故被称为“幻渊”。 Lu Benfang scoffs saying: „Young man, you listens to this boy to talk nonsense not. This boy third that year, moved to Wen City to come with his grandfather, was the neighbor with old man. old man asked his grandfather, the ancestral home Yuncheng person. But that Illusion Abyss among heaven and earth most mysterious is, position north several thousand li (0.5 km) Chong Country and place of Yu Country common border. Where is he can see.” 陆本芳嗤道:“后生,你莫听这小子胡说八道。这小子三岁那年,和他太爷搬到纹城来,和老朽做了邻居。老朽问了他太爷,祖籍运城人氏。那幻渊可是天地间最神奇的所在,位处北方数千里崇国和羽国交界之处。哪里是他能见到的。” Lu Benfang also said: „Let alone, this Illusion Abyss, but bottomless deep pool. One step trod to fall spatially, for three days and three nights could not hear loud. Can walk step by step, only if the monster demon ghost.” 陆本芳又道:“更何况,这幻渊可是无底渊。一步踏空跌了进去,三天三夜也听不到响。能一步步走进去,除非是妖魔鬼怪。” This young lad small mouth one honk, the brow twists, obviously is not convinced very much. Will rebut with sarcasm, suddenly on his face shows the extremely painful look, both hands covers the lumbocostal, tumbles from the stair. 这童子小嘴一嘟,眉头一拧,显然很不服气。正要反唇相讥,突然他脸上露出极为痛苦的神色,双手捂住腰肋,就从台阶上滚落下去。
