Buddha's Book of Beauty

【introduction】

Chapter 13 of "Apocalypse of the Ancients": People have the theory of reincarnation, and there are various afterlife, but they are not the same as the previous one.Memories of past lives, past dust, past lives, among thousands of people, only one or two can be retrieved.

God has the law of eternal life, and does not enter the cycle of reincarnation. Once the body dies and the soul dies, he will escape from the cycle of reincarnation in the three realms, six realms, six realms, eight desolations and ten seclusions, and will not exist in the world.Therefore, the eternal life of God is not always the case.

Demons have the art of swallowing spirits, feeding on human flesh and blood, absorbing the essence of demons of the same kind to increase their cultivation, and transforming the spirit essence of gods to obtain eternal life.

The spiritual things in the world are divided into major categories, there are only three types: humans, gods and demons. Other spiritual things are not seen by the orthodox Tiangong, so they are not as recorded by the Tiangong.

Most of the places where human beings live have little aura. Even if there is a spiritual energy in the body, there is no difference between having or not having aura to help them cultivate.In the spiritual body, the cultivation level of spiritual essence is divided into spiritual dimension, copper dimension, silver dimension, gold dimension, emperor dimension, mixed dimension, pure dimension, and zero dimension level from low to high, and each dimension is divided into middle and late stages.According to known records, the Tathagata of the Western Paradise has reached zero dimension, and now he doesn't care much about the Three Realms.Before the beginning, Pan Guzu and Chaos were also close to the zero-dimensional level, but eventually dissipated in the world.Spiritual beings that have reached this level belong to gods and transcend gods.They have power stronger than gods, but they are truly eternal and immortal, even if they are themselves, they cannot kill themselves.

Except for the zero-dimensional god himself, no one knows how to reach this state.In today's Three Realms, the cultivation of the Emperor of Heaven should be the highest, which belongs to the middle stage of pure dimension.Followed by Youzhu Ye, who belongs to the later stage of mixed dimension.Then there is the Moonfall Scattered Immortal, who is erratic all the year round, and is in the early stage of mixed dimension.Followed by the God of War Rong Yu and Gu Tao, Rong Yu is the late Emperor Wei, and Gu Tao is the middle Emperor Wei.Most of the rest of the gods couldn't get past the early stage of Emperor Wei.

Gods at the Diwei level no longer need to rely too much on artifacts to fight. They can turn water into swords and gather energy into blades within a hundred miles according to their environment.However, if the environment is unfavorable, within a limited period of time, spiritual power will be consumed to fight, and the longer the time, the greater the loss of cultivation base; for long-term combat, spiritual power must be imbued with magic weapons, which can make it exert several times the power.

Combat against gods is divided into two categories, one is dimensional suppression, and the other is human sea tactics; when fighting, three things are most important, one is the hardness and strength of the god body, the other is the level of spiritual power (cultivation), and the third is The magic weapon and the battle armor are only auxiliary functions.A god at the level of Emperor Wei can destroy millions of heroes just by relying on his own cultivation.But the more killings, the greater the consumption of cultivation base and divine body, and even reduced to fallen gods, not seen by the Three Realms, so very few gods will give up their cultivation bases and act against the heavens.

"The Chronicle of Taichu" records that on March 610, [-], the emperor of heaven came to the throne. At this time, there were frequent chaos in the three realms.

The demon world is ruled by the totalitarianism of the four great demon kings, those with high spiritual power slaughter those with low spiritual power; the lords of the world are in dispute, the slave owners are cruel and inhumane, and the war continues; the god world is divided into three places: Tiangong, Kunlun, and Hell.Tiangong claims to be the orthodox of Shenhe, and mortal offerings are one of its sources of spiritual growth. There are [-] upper immortals, [-] lower immortals, and hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals.There are only thirty immortals who can enter the court to discuss matters in the Tiangong.They call themselves the immortal way, and they classify the underworld as the ghost way.

The Kunlun faction is haunted by ghosts and ghosts, and the gods of Kunlun are rarely seen by anyone.Although Kunlun Mountain is a blessed place of fairy water, no one can find the entrance to the Kunlun Palace, and there are very few records of the Kunlun clan. Even the title of "Kunlun God" was given by mortals.

After the Emperor of Heaven came to the throne, he sent troops to Shiyou on September 800, [-] A.D., and Shiyou was defeated. He forced the demon world to sign a "Peace Contract" with the human world. There was war, but there were few monsters after that.Mortals are grateful for the grace of the gods, and they name the continent they live in as Shenqi Continent, and build shrines and offer incense, and the realm of the gods grows rapidly.

Most of the mortals who want to cultivate immortals don't know how to do it, so the Heavenly Emperor ordered the star officials to lead the four great beasts down to the earth, looking for people who are destined, and passing on the true meaning. Those with roots, teach the law of immortality, and when the opportunity comes, they can ascend.

It is recorded in "Shen Ben Ji" that gods and demons are all free from the spirit of nature, and gods are nourished by the essence of the sun and moon, mountains and rivers, and have good thoughts, do good deeds, and those who have reached a certain level of cultivation will transform into gods; Also, to feed on various things, the aura is mixed, the mind is uncertain, good and evil are unclear, the cultivation base is impure, living in the dark, changing into a demon; people are also made by Nuwa.Nuwa repaired the sky, took five-color stones, exhausted her spirit, fell into her body, and didn't know where she was going, so the art of creating humans was lost.

Gods, only the lineage of Kunlun, are the most unpredictable.

【Prologue】

Gu Tao has been walking in the world for a long, long time.

She left a letter: See you, elder brother, Atao is fine, don't look for me.Brother An will wake up in a few days, please rest assured.Kunlun is extremely cold, and my elder brother has been lonely for many years, so he should live more recklessly.Don't be troubled by what my father said, and don't need to avenge my mother. Your sister has no hatred, so please be at ease.

Brother An treated you very well, but do you still remember Binglian when I was young?Fourteen-petalled lotus, seven dragon scales, you were not seriously ill at that time, but you were born with no heart, that ice lotus begged Father to make a heart out of his seven-petaled lotus in order to repay your kindness for daily maintenance, I didn't want you to know, so I invited myself into reincarnation. Brother An was born with only a half-hearted heart, and his destiny was the reincarnated Binglian.

Ling Ye and I have already broken up, so you don't have to worry about it.

I want to search everywhere to see if there is any A Niang's whereabouts.Dad doesn't know where he is, and I think I don't want to believe that A Niang has passed away.The Kunlun faction is born a god, cannot enter reincarnation, and disappears from the world when the soul dies.I don't know if A Niang will transcend life and death and exist in another form.But the world is unpredictable, everything is hard to know, I am really confused, please don't look for me, brother.Atao.

Rong Yu rummaged through the box, and found that the heart-gouging knife was placed at the bottom, the blood on it had been wiped clean, and it was as bright as new.When he came back that day, he put a seal on Gu Tao, teaching her not to hurt herself casually, but he forgot that this girl was familiar with the smelting methods of various divine weapons since she was a child, and even made a magic knife for cutting out the heart by herself.He wanted to perceive the scene when Gu Tao cut out his heart through the blade, but there was only Gu Tao's smiling face.

The snowflakes on the Kunlun Mountains were cold and lonely, covered with jade bricks. Someone behind him covered him with a robe. let's go."

Seeing the letter on the table, An Zang understood, "Rong Yu, can you turn around and see me?" His tone was full of caution.

"Let's go." His tone was as flat as water, but his fingertips had already pinched three points into his palm.

"Are you going to break all your memories with me?"

"Yes."

"I admit that I had ulterior motives when I approached you at the beginning, but I never hurt you...I neither want you to be bound by the past, but also want you to be bound by the past..." Anzang hugged him from behind, "You are too It's cold, but I'm not afraid, I think one day you will like me..."

Rong Yu let him hug him, thank you for treating me so well, he silently closed his eyes, and slashed his heart. "You...what are you doing?" Anzang grabbed his hand and stood in front of him, "My bottom line is Atao, this knife is what I deserve, and I actually thought of taking her heart, even though It hasn't been implemented yet, but how is this behavior different from that of Ling Ye..." Hearing this, An Zang was both happy and sad, he never thought that Rong Yu, who has always loved Gu Tao, would do this for him. idea.

"This knife is to repay your kindness, and it is also...to break the friendship with you." Rong Yu took his hand and stabbed it towards the dragon scale in his heart, "I can't pay you back this half of the lotus heart, ah Tao has given you his heart, I hope you live well. See you later, I'm afraid I won't remember you." From the beginning to the end, his brows never frowned, but he was really cold and indifferent.

"Also, I have never liked being hugged, and I don't like being held by someone. I hope you meet me in the future, and please stay away from me. Take care." The white robe slipped off and blended with the snow. One body, Rong Yu broke free from his hand, stood three feet away from him, and built an exit around his body, "Let's leave when the wound is healed." After finishing speaking, he closed the door.

Gu Tao walks with a sword behind his back, humans and monsters are fighting melee, the human world is still in flames of war, corpses and bloodstains can be seen everywhere on the ground, gunpowder smoke fills the air, and wailing continues.She looked at everything around her, but she felt nothing in her heart, she just walked blankly, without even a direction.

A demon soldier followed up quietly from behind, stretching out his long claws, trying to pierce through her chest.She knew that there was danger behind her, but she really didn't even have the thought of resisting, maybe dying like this might be her best ending.She closed her eyes, waiting for the moment when her chest was penetrated.

A woman in white rushed out, pulled her aside, and avoided the attack of the demon soldier.She opened her eyes, this woman has no spiritual power at all, why save her?The demon soldiers were robbed of their food, and were extremely annoyed, so they were about to pounce on them and kill them both.Gu Tao stretched out his hand, and dropped an icicle on his sky cap, piercing his skull, and the demon soldier fell to the ground before he could even shout "Ah".

"Why did you save me?"

"It's not to save you, it's to save myself." The woman was wearing a bamboo hat, standing in the dark, with blood on her clothes, she was clutching her stomach, it seemed that she had been injured by a sword or something.

"Your eyes..." The wind blew the white gauze in front of the bamboo hat, and Gu Tao saw that her pupils were silvery white.She really didn't have the strength to express her gratitude and surprise. She was still the same age as Hua'er, but she felt that she was already old.Sighing, she said: "Your respect for God is nothing more than asking for something. Since you have given me something of equal value, I should also return it. After all, what do you want?" Gu Tao stood there , not moving like a mountain.

The woman just shook her head slightly.

"I never like to owe favors. If my tone makes you feel disrespected, I'm sorry. Then, please tell me, what do you need?" Gu Tao moved closer to her.

She pondered for a while and said, "Friend."

"You want me to arrange a friendship for you?"

There was a look of expectation in her eyes, and she nodded affirmatively.

Thinking about his future plans, Gu Tao said with a slight smile, "Okay, but I'm afraid it's unlikely right now..." She saw that the life energy in this woman was rapidly draining.

"Okay, ahem..." The woman held her last breath, and said, "People's hearts are fickle, and the hearts of demons are treacherous. Can I, can I have a friendship with God?"

Pulling back the gauze, it was the first time that Gu Tao took a closer look at her eyes. Under the black brim, the nearly transparent silver-white pupils did not dare to look directly at the sun, showing timidity and anticipation that he tried his best to restrain.Those eyes were really pure white and flawless, extremely clean.She walked to her side, knelt down, held her hand, looked her in the eyes, and asked in a strange way: "So, would you like to be my friend?"

She took Gu Tao's hand back and nodded emphatically.

"I have no experience in being friends with people, so I can't promise you anything. But I will give it a try, okay? Can you tell me your name

? "Gu Tao has not spoken to a human being so tenderly for a long time.

"Xue Qingluo." She took off her bamboo hat, her eyes couldn't open because she hadn't seen such strong sunlight for a long time, but she still tried her best to open them, letting the sunlight shine directly into her eyes, looking at the floating clouds in the sky.After a while, her eyes slowly closed.

Gu Tao's heart skipped a beat, she knew that her eyes must be hurting.She took a drop of Xue Qingluo's blood, gathered a ball of fire in her hand, cremated her body, and murmured: "Xue, Qing, Luo? Thank you...for willing to waste the last bit of life for someone I don't know ..." After the last embers were burnt out, she stood up, the sun hid in the clouds, and her thin body was shrouded in a faint shadow.

Why does my dearest relative hurt me like this?And a stranger who is willing to risk his life to save me?Gu Tao looked at the sky covered by the black smoke, and couldn't help but sneer, with tears in his smile, sadness coming from it, which made the surrounding birds couldn't help whimpering,

The demon soldiers around quietly approached and surrounded her.Gu Tao's originally extremely soft and beautiful face was expressionless at the moment, and his ice blue eyes turned dark blue.

"You killed these people?" She said coldly.

"Yes, so what? You..." Before the leader of the demon soldiers could say another outrageous sentence, Gu Tao drained the blood from the surrounding corpses, and the blood coagulated into a blade. The hearts of the demon soldiers were not empty, leaving only one leader trembling.

"God...Master God, this is the first time this little one leads troops to kill people, and he never dares again, please let this little one go!" The leader fell to his knees with a "plop" and begged unceasingly.He thought that this soft and weak girl should be easily dismissed. Who would have thought that she would be so powerful that she could restrain them with one move.

"Go and send a message to Ling Ye. During his reign, if there are any more monster soldiers in the human world, Gu Tao will wash Shiyou with blood!"

The leader gasped, the girl took a big breath, not only calling the demon king by his name, but also uttering such wild words.Even though he was thinking this way, he repeatedly agreed and went back to report the letter.

Gu Tao looked at the chaotic battlefield around him, left, and came to an abyss, thinking of A Niang's voice and smile, "A Niang, I know that if it were you, I would definitely protect human beings, but I really don't want to protect them anymore. No one...I want to sleep deeply and go to a quiet place, no one can find me..." The abyss seemed to be bottomless, she smiled softly, jumped down, and sank into the cold pool below, the cold pool The temperature of the water is still slightly higher than her body temperature, the water temperature is suitable, and the environment is elegant, she thinks this is very good, it is a peace and harmony that has not been experienced for a long time.

"I'm afraid and I'm sad. With this appearance, aren't you still begging for your love and mercy?" A voice came from nowhere.Gu Tao ignored it.

"You said you don't care anymore, it's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!" The woman's voice was like a silver bell, but her laughter upset her.

"Now, I have forgotten everything, completely forgotten, no love and no hatred." Gu Tao said.

"You lied to yourself, hahaha...you lied to yourself...you can't even erase your memory, if it's true, can you forget it?" The outline of the woman gradually became clear.

"I didn't... I just wanted to prove that I can forget him, forget everything..." Gu Tao slowly curled up, and the bubbles in the water slowly connected into strings of pearls, lighting her up. around.

"Then have you forgotten? He took half of your heart, and you gouged out half of your heart for your incomprehensible brother. You obviously don't have a heart, but you are still in extreme pain...Why, everything Everything will be borne by you..."

"No... I don't feel any more..."

"Then do you dare to stab the sword into his heart?" the woman asked with a fatal blow.

"I..." Gu Tao was speechless, she didn't want to hurt him, no matter when, she didn't want to hurt him.

"You are so humble, you have lost your dignity, your heart, your affection, and you are not loved by anyone. Do you not care at all?" The surrounding water began to recede, and Gu Tao felt that he was being drawn into A beautiful starry sky.

"It's better for me to bear it alone than for everyone to suffer..."

"Really? You clearly know that your father is keeping you in the Kunlun Realm not to protect you, but to use you to sacrifice the chess game and bring back your mother's spirit..."

"You, you lied... Dad won't, won't..."

"Look at yourself, your lover abandoned you, your elder brother abandoned you for others, and your father wanted to use you to complete the magic circle so that your mother could come back... Gu Tao, what you care about, doesn't care about you at all..."

"Don't say it...don't say it..." Gu Tao sat slumped on the ground, and the woman came out of the mist, "Look at me..." Gu Tao raised his head, the woman's appearance was the same as hers, "You...you..." She was shocked, as if she saw something extremely terrifying.

"I am you... but I am not you who is restricted by various emotional ethics. I despise ethics and rules, and only value you..." She sat next to Gu Tao, "What I said is just The thought that was deeply suppressed by you... You can't believe it, it's because you are afraid, afraid that what you are guarding is such an unbearable fact..."

"Please...don't say it..." Gu Tao covered her ears and buried her head in her lap. She knew what she said was true, but she didn't want to hear it, she didn't dare to listen.The woman grabbed her hand, put it against her head, and forced her to listen, "You obviously have resentment in your heart, but why are you still unwilling to hurt others? Let me tell you, since you called me out, I You will not go back easily. This world is so ruthless to you, and they are so unjust to you. Why do you want you to bear all the unbearable and pain alone? The one you want to protect has been plotting against you, betraying you, and hurting you! Even if Even if you are humble, you are crazy, even if you are not loved by you, so what?"

"If even the last lie has to be exposed, isn't it meaningless for me to come into this world? No one loves, no one cares, and no one will remember..." Gu Tao couldn't stop shaking his head.

"Those people are not worthy of your all to protect. Is the world you have worked so hard to get in such a chaotic situation? Blood is flowing, relatives are separated, betrayal and killing, filth and calculation..."

"No... Mommy will definitely not like this kind of world..."

"Your father only has his wife in his heart, and your elder brother also has someone he likes, and the only thing he cares about from the beginning to the end is his mother. You are not biological brothers and sisters, blood is not thicker than water. Then Ling Ye , so heartless, but you don't even dare to think of hurting him. You protect the world, but who——will protect you?"

Gu Tao looked at her, and behind her was the brilliant Milky Way, always so gorgeous, never changed by anyone, she lowered her eyes, "Maybe I'm not worthy of being protected..."

"No, the person who should be cherished and protected the most in this world should be you, and only you! Those individuals, taking advantage of your kindness and weakness, attack you with the most nasty means, why don't you just abandon them ?Let those who stay at the original point continue to stay at the original point, let the fallen people continue to fall, and let the dirty people continue to be dirty. They are what they are. Human beings, gods, and demons are just accidents in this world, and eternity is not absolute. I will use my limited life to protect your eternity."

"Eternity...?" Gu Tao felt that "eternity" seemed out of reach.She had dared not think of and expect this word for a long time.

"I and you are one body, and I live and you live. I will use up all my life and strength, and I will not let anyone who hurt you so far, and I will give you a brand new atmosphere of the Three Realms."

"You, want to protect me?" Gu Tao looked at her, his eyes were as bright as stars. "forever?"

"I will always, forever - guard Gu Tao, and only be her servant until life turns to dust." The woman pressed her fingers together and pressed their foreheads together.

Gu Tao has never felt so at ease, "I'm tired and want to sleep here, and I'll leave the rest to you." The woman kissed her forehead, and the imprint of the plum blossom on her chest dimmed for a while. , which turns into a brighter red.

The beautiful memory was sealed with a kiss, leaving only betrayal and bloody memories.A chain protruded from the clouds, locking Gu Tao's spirit in the depths of the Milky Way, and gave his body to Gu Tao in front of him. A small purple plum blossom contract mark was imprinted in her eyes, but it quickly dissipated. From then on, she was both her own master and her own servant.

Gu Tao woke up from the water, jumped out, the moonlight was high, the silver light was everywhere, and chills burst out. Her appearance was still that of a girl, but her eyes were not as gentle as before. Her palm turned into bursts of water mist.

The floating figure of Emperor Chiu appeared in front of her, "Gu Tao, are you interested in making a deal?"

Gu Tao said nothing, and drew a talisman with water, and through the overlapping clouds, an ice arrow shot to the window of Emperor Chiu.The guards all said "Guarantee", but Emperor Chiu sent them away, took the water talisman, and after seeing the content on it, drew a mark of flame on it.When water and fire blend together, the contract is made.

Since then, there has been a female God of War in the Three Realms, who was named Gu Tao by the Emperor of Heaven.Hou Rong and Zhi Zhi also entered the Heavenly Palace Divine Book, and together with Gu Tao, became the god of war in the heavenly world.

In the world of Kunlun, there is no place to hide, and news of the Kunlun faction has become even rarer since then.In the depths of the valley, a Le Tao flower faintly glows.
