The next morning, on the way to the train station, Zhang Zhiwei spent dozens of pennies on some steamed buns, meatloaf, steamed buns, roast duck and so on.

Anyone who has ridden the green train in later generations knows that the food on the train is expensive, so it is best to prepare some food before getting on the train.

The steam trains of the Republic of China were much slower than the green trains of later generations, so you should prepare some food.

Zhang Jingqing agreed with this.

When we arrived at the train station, we started buying tickets.

In this year, transportation is scarce and train tickets are expensive, but business is still booming and the ticket window is full of people.

"Master, please sit down for a while and I'll buy a ticket!"

Zhang Zhiwei looked around and found a window with a small queue to buy tickets.

After waiting in line for a while, it was his turn.

The conductor in front of the window asked:

"What's the waiting list for this Taoist priest?"

"What's the point?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.

"Master Dao's first time taking a train?"

"Yeah!"

The first time I took a train... The conductor looked Zhang Zhiwei up and down, "Since it's the first time, let me tell you, the carriages in our train are graded, and they are divided into first-class cars.

, second-class trains, third-class trains, our window only sells tickets for second-class trains and first-class trains. If you want to buy third-class train tickets, you have to go to the windows next to them with a lot of queues."

It turns out that the division of business class second class seats has a long history...

Zhang Zhiwei asked: "What's the difference?"

The conductor said: "The difference is huge. The feeling of riding on these three types of cars is different. Of course, the fares are also different."

"First-class trains are the most comfortable, with gorgeous equipment, spacious seats, carpets on the ground floor, dressing rooms, toilets, etc."

"Let me tell you this, the seats are covered with goose down. As soon as you sit down, your whole body will feel close and soft, which is called comfort."

"The decorative equipment of the second-class car is slightly inferior to that of the first-class car, but it also has cushioned seats and spacious seats."

"Third-class cars have the simplest equipment. The seats are hard boards and extremely narrow. There are no sleepers and passengers cannot enter the dining car."

"Especially at night, when the lights are dark and there are so many people, I can't read books or newspapers, and I can't sleep. I guess you, Master Dao, can't calm down even while meditating and chanting sutras."

"Master Dao, do you want to buy a second-class seat or a first-class seat?"

"How much does it cost?"

The conductor said: "The third-class ticket costs 2.5 oceans, the second-class ticket costs 5 oceans, and the first-class ticket costs 10 oceans. The second-class and first-class cars come with sleepers. If you want to sleep, you need to pay more!"

Zhang Zhiwei casually threw out 20 yuan: "Two overhead seat tickets, by the window, side by side!"

But before the ocean fell in the air, it was caught by a hand.

The person who caught him was Zhang Jingqing.

Zhang Jingqing put away 20 Dayang coins, took out 10 coins and handed them to the counter:

"Just two second-class tickets!"

The conductor looked at Zhang Zhiwei: "This..."

Zhang Zhiwei nodded and said: "This is my master, just buy it according to the master's instructions!"

Looking at the 10 ocean coins in his hand, the conductor couldn't help but persuade:

"This old Taoist seems to be a man who is not short of money. You'd better buy a first-class seat. It's comfortable and spacious, and it's much more comfortable than a second-class seat!"

Zhang Jingqing said in a deep voice: "Just a second-class seat!"

Seeing this, the conductor said no more and handed out the ticket with both hands.

"Take this note!"

Zhang Zhiwei took the ticket and went to the waiting room under the guidance of the staff.

The waiting hall is dedicated to second-class seats.

The first class car is a VIP box.

Third-class seats can only sit next to the railroad tracks while smelling soot and waiting.

In the waiting hall, Zhang Zhiwei asked in confusion: "Master, why don't you take the first-class seat?"

He thought Zhang Jingqing would say some big truths, such as the inconvenience of first-class seats if you want to see all kinds of things in the world.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jingqing said in a deep voice: "Because there are so many red-haired ghosts in the first-class carriage, it smells very bad!"

"The red-haired ghost..."

Zhang Zhiwei was startled, and then he remembered the meaning of the word "red-haired ghost". It first referred to the Dutch colonists, and later generally referred to all foreigners.

Master chose the second-class seat because he didn’t want to meet foreigners?

Thinking of the conductor's introduction to the carriage, Zhang Zhiwei figured it out immediately.

First-class cars are either rich or expensive, and most of them are filled with foreigners who have high aspirations, or high-ranking aristocrats who are full of feudal remnants.

These two types of people, no matter what kind, are looked down upon by ordinary people.

Especially among foreigners, sick man is basically a mantra they say.

He and Zhang Jingqing wear Taoist robes and have long hair, which will inevitably attract siege, comments, and cynicism.

As the saying goes, armed with sharp weapons, murderous intentions arise naturally. If the other party is mocking him, and if it is not excessive, Zhang Zhiwei may not care too much.

And if it was master Zhang Jingqing who was humiliated, Zhang Zhiwei might not be able to bear it anymore, and he would be the one to teach him how to be a good person.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiwei said: "Most of these red-haired ghosts have body odor, so they like to use some perfume to cover it up, but if they are piled up and mixed together, it will be a kind of torture. Master is really wise and powerful!"

Zhang Jingqing closed her small eyes and glanced at Zhang Zhiwei angrily: "I'll tell you weird things again. After I use the Chonglong Jade Talisman on you, I'll throw you into the middle of the red-haired ghosts and let you have a good experience!"

Zhang Zhiwei: "…………"

The Chonglong Jade Talisman is a talisman that deifies the nose, allowing people to have a sense of smell comparable to a dog's nose.

If you reach out to a place filled with strong body odor and perfume...

Zhang Zhiwei shuddered. Normally, he would sneeze when he smelled a strong perfume, let alone after his nose was transformed, and it was also mixed with body odor.

He immediately became a good baby, stopped talking, closed his eyes, meditated, and cultivated his life.

Not long after, the train arrived at the station.

People in each carriage queue up to board the train.

When getting on the bus, Zhang Zhiwei glanced at the situation of waiting for the bus and the third-class bus.

The first-class carriage was the shortest, and as he had guessed, most of the people on the first-class carriage were ghost guys wearing suits and holding canes.

There are also some people wearing long robes and mandarin jackets.

These people looked down upon everyone, but they only lowered their heads in front of the ghost.

The third-class train is the longest and has the most people. It is as crowded as a sardine can, giving it a sense of déjà vu like the Indian trains of later generations.

After one glance, Zhang Zhiwei withdrew his gaze.

Get in the car and sit on your seat.

Zhang Jingqing and Zhang Zhiwei sat side by side by the window. Opposite them sat a young couple with a baby.

Not long after, the train set off with the sound of "clang, clang, clang, clang".

Maybe it was because the train made too much noise while it was running. After the train departed, the little baby kept crying, causing great dissatisfaction among the people around him.

The couple apologized sincerely and tried their best to comfort them.

But none of this bothered Zhang Zhiwei and Zhang Jingqing. The master and the apprentice sat cross-legged on soft chairs, calmed down, meditated and practiced, looking like Taoist masters.

When the couple opposite saw this, they comforted the baby and came over to chat for a while.

"It was the first time for the child to ride a train, and he was a little noisy. I was really embarrassed to disturb the two Taoist priests who were doing the repairs!" said the couple.

"It's okay!" Zhang Jingqing said with a smile.

"I wonder which sect the two Taoist priests belong to?" the husband asked.

"Pindao master and disciple come from Longhu Mountain Zhengyi Sect!" Zhang Jingqing said.

"It turns out to be the Taoist Priest of Tianshi Mansion!" The couple was overjoyed and quickly took out two big coins and handed them to Zhang Jingqing.
Chapter completed!
