Chapter 49 QR CodeIt is cloudy today, with thick clouds. Not only can we not see the stars, we can't even see the sun. "I wonder if the Big Dipper has the ability to locate and navigate?" "However, these guys are third-rank bosses, and I can't even meet them in person. I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince them." "Forget it, just take it one step at a time." Gu Yunli shook his head. I know that you can’t get hot tofu if you are impatient, so you have to take your time! With the cultivation level of the fifth level of Lianyang, after avoiding the crowd, Gu Yunli arrived at the Juma River ferry in just an incense stick of time. By noon, quite a few people had gathered at the ferry. Looking closely, most of them were villagers from nearby. Most of them were carrying shoulder poles with baskets on both ends filled with fruits and vegetables. Everyone stretched their necks, looked towards the end of the river mouth, and waited eagerly for the boatman to appear. Gu Yunli approached and said, "Excuse me, Grandma, does this ferry go to Bazi County?"
The dark-faced woman said in dialect, "You're leaving. You should have come earlier than usual. I don't know why you're an hour late today." The old woman's words drew a wave of complaints: "Oh, usually it's only half an hour late, what happened today?" "Is nothing going to happen?" "Not really? Shou Zhugan has been sailing for 20 years, so he's very experienced!" Gu Yunli listened for a long time and interrupted, "Why don't you burn some incense and go online to ask a question?" Everyone was stunned, obviously they had never expected this. "What does it mean to go online?" "Is that Hu Lianwang? The one where you can see gods by burning incense." "oh oh!" "Oh, how could I have forgotten this? Who of you brought incense?" "Who brings that thing when they come out to sell vegetables?" The villagers at the ferry were talking at once. Seeing this, Gu Yunli shook his head secretly. Obviously, the Internet is still too unfamiliar to these villagers. It can be seen that most of them have heard of it, but they only know about it. Many people probably don’t even think about it or even don’t know how to use the communication function. User habits still need to be cultivated! Fortunately, there are still a few people who keep up with the times. Thinking of this, Gu Yunli flipped his hand, took out a stick of incense and handed it over: "Brother, I have incense here." "Okay, okay." The old man was not polite. He took the incense and inserted it at the ferry to burn incense and surf the Internet. Not long after, he said directly to the air: "Thin Bamboo Pole, I've been waiting for you for such a long time, why haven't you come yet? What? Did you miss it? Oh, can you still come today? You're already here, okay, okay, I'm waiting for you, okay, okay."
The strange appearance left many villagers at the ferry dumbfounded. Obviously many people have never experienced it. This made Gu Yunli more depressed. We are so busy updating various sections that we completely forget that most of the people, who make up the largest population, cannot adapt to the Internet at all. This situation has to change. Well, when the online bank’s business license is auctioned, we can inform all the major sects and send more people to promote it. This matter concerns our own family, so we don't have to worry about them not being able to do it when the time comes. Thinking of this, Gu Yunli breathed a sigh of relief and felt in his heart that he should come down and visit more often when he has time! Otherwise, it is impossible to understand the actual situation. The situation on community forums can only represent a small number of elites. "My fellow villagers, Skinny Bamboo Pole said that the boat was leaking and it took us half a day to mend it. It was delayed, but now it is on the way and will arrive in half an hour." "Oh, it will take another half an hour. Can we sell all the vegetables today?" "There's no other way. If we don't sell these vegetables, they'll wilt tomorrow!" "Oh, sell it cheap!" "Old Wu, what was wrong with you just now? Why were you talking to someone in the wilderness? It was scary." As Old Wu called out, the passengers at the ferry suddenly became excited. Some complained that they had missed the best time to sell vegetables; Some people were also curious about Old Wu's mysterious ability to communicate across the air. For a moment, the ferry was noisy and lively. Gu Yunli looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, smiled without saying a word, and was filled with joy. ——For ordinary people, the Internet is still useful after all. "Master, give me some radish, grown at home." While waiting for the boat, Old Wu came over and handed over a large white radish with purple flowers. The floor has been cleaned. Gu Yunli didn't hesitate to take it, peeled it and ate it. Old Wu felt a little sorry when he saw Gu Yunli peeling radishes with such skill, thinking that this Taoist priest must be a wealthy man, even peeling radishes before eating them. "Where are you from, Taoist? Where are you going?" "People from Yong County are preparing to go to Bazi County." "Oh, what a coincidence, we're going the same way." As they were talking, someone excitedly shouted "The boat is coming". Looking up, they saw a flat-bottomed boat slowly rowing towards them. When the boat docked, the passengers on the ferry rushed to lift their shoulder poles to board the boat.
Gu Yunli was at the end of the line, squeezed at the bow. He simply took off his shoes and socks, sat on the bow, skimming the water with his feet, and seemed quite content. Behind my ears, the whole boat was filled with noise. Some people complained; some people joked; and some people talked about the Internet as if it had just opened the door to the world. The boatman was as his nickname suggested, a thin man. With a gentle push of a bamboo pole, he steered the boat downstream. He listened to everyone complaining and couldn't help but complain a few words too. To be honest, working in this industry, the money you earn is hard-earned. Whether there are people or not, the boat has to sail. He can't see others taking a rest, but if he takes a rest, someone will definitely remember it! "Speaking of which, there was a heavy rainstorm for a while, with a curtain of rain pouring down from the sky, covering the sky and the earth with a white haze. The river water completely submerged the river bank. I thought that no one would be there in this weather, so I didn't go out on the boat and waited until the rain stopped. Well, guess what happened?" "I saw a man hanging on a tree from a distance waiting for us. He said his family had sent a message saying his mother was dying and he was in a hurry to go home. Oh, if I had known this, I would have sailed even if I had to sacrifice my life. I don't know if he saw his mother for the last time." When the boatman said this, he rubbed his eyes and became quite depressed. The passengers on the ship were also sighing. "Uncle, it's actually very simple to avoid this matter." Gu Yunli, who was playing games, suddenly interrupted. "Master, do you have any idea?" The boatman looked curious. "You can put a stone at each major ferry crossing and engrave your Internet number on it. If anyone has an urgent matter, they can just burn incense and contact them." Before the boatman could speak, Old Wu slapped his thigh excitedly and said: "Master Dao, this is a good idea. It's just like we contacted you today." The boatman was delighted when he heard this and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, why didn't I think of it?" At this moment, a weak voice came: "What is the number you are talking about? I can't read!" The boatman frowned upon hearing this: "This is a problem!" He learned sailing from his father when he was young. In order to do accounting, he learned three or five words and could barely be considered literate. But for ordinary people, these three or five words are enough to stump many people. For a moment, the atmosphere on the ship became quite depressing. "It's okay, it's okay if you can recognize the picture! Tomorrow, let the Internet update a QR code image and just take a look at the picture." Gu Yunli said seriously. "Master, you are joking. The Internet is the magic of the immortal Yunli. How can we use it?" Old Wu said subconsciously. The boatman, who had traveled extensively, looked a little strange upon hearing this, and asked tentatively with doubt: "Does the Taoist priest worship the Immortal Yunli?" "Hahaha, that's not the case. However, there is an old saying that goes, the whispers of people on earth are heard by heaven like thunder, and the immortal Yunli will hear them." Gu Yunli said with a smile.
