Buddha's Book of Beauty

Gu Taorong lived in Wuti Village, which is a fishing village. It was born next to the Luoxia River, and there is also a lonely bamboo forest. Most of the people here rely on fishing and digging bamboo shoots for a living.It is the end of autumn now, every night, the moon sinks in the heart of the river, and the sky is covered with heavy frost. From time to time, a few perching birds will fall on the maple trees by the river. The fishermen rested on the boat.Hanshan Temple in the distance has the habit of ringing the bell in the middle of the night, and the bell rings late at night, drifting leisurely to the fishing boats.

Gu Tao lost his battle armor, his appearance is not as outstanding as before, his figure has become the appearance of a twelve or thirteen-year-old immature, his height has also dropped a lot, his face is sallow and thin, just like a little country girl, but A pair of pupils have not lost their former tenacity.If someone says that this is the God of War who has ruled the Three Realms, I'm afraid they will be regarded as a lunatic by others.Rong Yu's appearance is still there, he still looks like a 17-year-old, except for his lack of cultivation, he doesn't feel any inconvenience in the rest.

Gu Tao was not depressed, but practiced his sword even more desperately, often for several hours.Rong Yu sat in the shade of a tree, watched her practicing sword and chess, and cooked when the time came, but he was born with a poor sense of taste, so he didn't need to cook when he was a god, and he didn't eat much, so he didn't know This problem of my own.But after becoming an adult, every time he cooks meals, there is no salt added.Gu Tao didn't care much about what he ate, he never complained, he just wanted to eat enough.

Because this is the birthplace of the gods, the aura is deep, there is God's blessing, there is no war, humans, gods and demons sign a peace treaty, follow the principle of peaceful coexistence, goblins will not obtain spiritual power by killing humans, although human beings' natural spiritual power is not as good as Gods and demons are so pure and profound, but they can prolong their lifespan and improve their cultivation level through cultivation methods, but even talented humans rarely break through the silver dimension through self-cultivation.If you want to improve quickly and break through the dimension, you can participate in the triennial selection of Spring River Flower and Moon. After passing the trial, you can become one of its disciples. With the help of the pure aura of the academy and the guidance of the instructor, you can improve your cultivation.

The spring river is guarded by three walls and four elephants, and guarded by three auspicious beasts, the phoenix, the wild animal, and the unicorn.

But Wuti Village is a small village outside Suzhou City. Chunjiang Huayuejian is located six hundred miles east of Shengjing Wangcheng. The distance between Wuti Village and Chunjiang Huayuejian is extremely far, three thousand miles away.The villagers also only want to live comfortably for the rest of their lives, and they don't expect to cultivate immortality.Every spring and winter, Shengjing will send people here to buy fresh bamboo shoots and sea bass.

Sea bass is abundant here, and the end of autumn and the beginning of winter are the fat seasons. One day, Gu Tao practiced his sword and fainted, and the doctor said that the nutrition could not keep up.Rong Yu, who didn't eat meat before, also learned to fish in consideration of her health. Gu Tao couldn't see him when he got up, so he went out to look for him.Rong Yu rolled up his trousers and was fishing in the shallows with a bamboo pole.She leaned against the maple tree, holding back a smile, and had the illusion that her brother was dirty.The fishing girl passed by and saw him jumping in and out, hugging and laughing beside him.When Rong and Gu Tao came, he turned his head and waved to greet her. The young fishermen here are mostly sun-tanned all year round, and most of them have wheat complexion.Seeing that he was so good-looking, the fishing girl couldn't help but fix her eyes on his face, she nodded slightly to them out of politeness, and then turned to continue fishing.

Those fishing girls blushed, handed him two bass, and ran away shyly.By the time he could react, they had long since disappeared.Gu Tao watched from the side, folded his arms and smiled.

"Brother, don't return the fish, it's because they like you!" Gu Tao stopped the fish when he saw that he was ready to return the fish.

"It's not mine, so don't take it." Rong Yu straightened his clothes, and Gu Tao handed him a handkerchief to wipe off the water droplets on his body.

"If you do this, the girl will be sad."

"Why?"

Gu Tao raised his forehead, she forgot that his brother is not affectionate at all, she took the bass in his hand, "There are rules in the sky, and etiquette in the world, let's accept the gifts from others, and return them tomorrow." Can."

"Sure?"

Gu Tao nodded, holding back his smile.

"Then how should I return the courtesy?" Rong Yu stood upright, the sun shone on him, the burlap clothes did not hide his aura of exile, but showed his delicate face like porcelain even more.

"You can make some pastries and send them over on a certain day." Rong Yu nodded, took the fish in her hand, and the two walked towards the hut and began to prepare meals.The perch was alive and kicking, and it was not easy to control. The originally spotless kitchen and Rongyu turned into a disheveled face after half a stick of incense, and Gu Tao still bent over with a heartless smile.

"This fish is too lively!" Rong Yu put the knife on the cutting board and threw the fish back into the barrel, "Brother, go and rest aside, I'll come!" Gu Tao rolled up his sleeves and pushed his brother away. Sit aside, "You... If you can't do it, don't be brave." Rong Yu hooked her nose.

"Okay!" Gu Tao scooped up the fish from the bucket, and the scales fell off with his knife. After a while, the two perch lay obediently in the bowl.

"The "Sword of Resisting Evil" is used by you to kill fish, the author must be angry." He said while tidying up the kitchen.

"Hehe, the author didn't say who I am. If I know his name, I will apologize someday. Brother, I will leave the rest to you." She soaked her hands in bamboo leaf water and dried them. Wipe it clean with a rag, "I'll go out for a walk."

"Go ahead, come back in half an hour."

"okay--"

Gu Tao went out and saw the chessboard under the tree, many of the stones on it had been worn away. She heard from the villagers that there were some good stones at Hanshan Mountain, so she went in the direction of Hanshan Temple.The bluestone road up the mountain is very smooth, with high and low trees on the side of the road, and there are wisps of cooking smoke on the mountainside, which means that the monks in the temple are preparing dinner.

There was the sound of water in her ears. She pulled away the tall weeds and burrowed into the bushes. She saw a small stream flowing out, and there were a few tall pines beside it. The stones in the stream were round and smooth, and the size was just right Good material for polishing chess pieces.The wind blows through the pine trees, and the water murmurs.After taking the stones, she took out the kettle and put it under the pine tree, preparing to collect some dew from the pine tree to prepare for making tea.She took some more pine needles and prepared to make muffins.The smoke from the kitchen gradually disappeared, and she was ready to go back.There was movement behind her, she held the sword vigilantly, and walked as usual, but quietly stepped aside, only to see a fox wrestling with a snake.The fox is white all over, the snake is red all over, and its eyeballs are also light red.The fox raised his sharp claws to grab the snake's seven inches.

"Red eyes..." Gu Tao picked up a stone and hit the fox directly. The fox gave her a sad look, then put down the red snake and ran away. The snake's red eyes flickered for a moment. He slipped into the bushes and disappeared.

She looked a little dazed, and when she returned home, she chatted with her brother one after another, Rong Yu still "stood without eating or sleeping", just listening to her talk, after eating, Rong Yu said: "You, Can you tell me something?"

"Brother, I have a doubt in my heart. It is reasonable to say that Qian Huaming was born by a demon, but he is a real person. If he is reincarnated, he should be a human being. Why, why is it a demon..."

"You, have you seen him?"

"I'm not sure, just a feeling."

"You have always been Suixi, and your sword is also called 'Suixi'. Why, are you not sure?"

"I...what am I not afraid of? I will search again tomorrow, and I will definitely catch him!" Gu Tao grabbed a piece of pastry, stuffed it into his mouth, and then grabbed another piece and stuffed it in, "Use it slowly. , look for it tomorrow, and you will always find it.”

In the morning of the second day, Gu Tao finished his breakfast slowly. The two brothers and sisters had the same temperament, the more impatient they were, the more they had to pretend to be calm. "Okay, I've been drinking half a bowl of porridge for less than half an hour, and no one is laughing at you, so go!" Rong Yu made fun of him.

Gu Tao took a mouthful of vegetables stuck in his throat, swallowed a mouthful of tea, coughed twice in embarrassment, picked up his sword and went out.

In the cold mountain near the river, there was mist in the early morning, and the corners of Gu Tao's skirt were wet with dew, and some mist was also on his head.When she came to the sylvestris pine yesterday, she searched the surrounding bushes, but she didn't see a snake.She climbed up again, and when she came to the entrance of Hanshan Temple, a young Taoist priest who swept the floor asked, "Benefactor, what are you looking for?

"A snake, red, with red eyes. I wonder if Chang can see it?"

"There are not many spiritual things here, but I have never seen them."

"Thank you. Farewell." Gu Tao turned around.

"Benefactor, what you're looking for may be close at hand." Gu Tao knew that Taoists always spoke like this, so he just turned his head and made a bow before leaving.

"It stinks and has no conscience!" She muttered, and went back to Zhangzisongxia, took the kettle, and just about to plug the mouth of the kettle, a red snake sprang out and wrapped itself around her waist.

"Huahua!" The snake heard the sound and crawled from her waist to her arm. Gu Tao looked at it, but her two index fingers were as thick as her eyes were red, as if she had just cried. "Are you Huahua?" The reincarnated person would not have the memory of the previous life, she knew this, but she still couldn't help asking.The snake just looked at her, spitting snake letters, and remained motionless.

"Why do I become stupid when I meet you?" Gu Tao carried the water bottle on his back, "If you are not him, wouldn't he be angry when he comes back to see me and provoke some peach blossoms? Wait, are you a female snake or a male snake? " She carefully looked at the snake's appearance, but the tail was rather long, "The male is long and the female is short, it looks like it should be a male. Wait a minute, isn't there an easiest way? I'll spend some spiritual power on Huahua After reincarnation, this spiritual power will also follow him. But now I don’t have any spiritual power around me, and I can’t sense it!” The snake’s thorns climbed up her waist again, and Gu Tao didn’t recognize the snake at all. The appearance of being coquettish in life is very similar to Qian Huaming, no matter what, she wants to take it home first and then talk about it.

Rong Yu looked at the red snake on the table, and only said: "Keep it away, it looks like it hasn't been bathed in months." Gu Tao looked at the snake's smooth scales, with tears in his eyes, looking at her pitifully, "Don't look at her like this!" Rong Yu Wen said to stop it, the snake seemed to be frightened, and wanted to wrap it around Gu Tao's waist, but the gloved Rong Yu pinched its head and threw it into the bamboo cage.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"This snake is a bit dishonest, just close it." He sat down again and continued to play chess.

Gu Tao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Brother, how do you know if it's him?"

Rong Yu's hand paused in the air, "Have you made an oath with him?" Gu Tao nodded.

"You man, did the 'joint oath' be made casually? How did you do it so easily..."

"Oh my brother, I've already connected, is it possible to cancel it?" Rong Yu's eyes darkened when he heard this, "That's all. It is recorded in the "Oath of God" in "Ancient Strange Records" that if a god is with a person' Joint oath', when a person is reincarnated after death, God can recite the oath with him, and then he will have the memory of the previous life. And when he meets that person, he will be touched. But I don’t know if this method is feasible for people who turn into demons." He Look at this snake, it seems to be just a little demon who can't speak, Qian Huaming should be an adult in reincarnation, now he has become a snake, I don't know if something went wrong during reincarnation.Seeing that the red snake was released at some time and was licking his sister's hand, he flew over with a single stone, and Gu Tao picked up the snake and dodged sideways.

"Gu Tao——" Rong Yu would only call her full name when he was angry, "Little sister is here, brother, please tell me." Gu Tao's tone was very good, and he immediately put on a dog-legged look, "Give me the snake .”

"Brother, didn't you say that he didn't take a bath? I'll wash him first before giving it to you!"

"Gu Tao—" Rong Yu dragged out his tone.

"Brother, please take it well." Gu Tao felt a chill coming from his face, and immediately obediently handed over the red snake.

Rong Yu took the snake, but was bitten lightly, "Brother, you better give me the snake!" Gu Tao took the snake while he was checking the wound, "By the way, why don't you call this snake first, little boy?" Hong' Well, it's inconvenient for Snake Snake to shout like this." The snake rubbed her hand in protest. "Protesting is useless, who taught you that you can't speak?" She poked Xiaohong's head, and Xiaohong immediately lay down on her stomach.

"Put the snake in a cage when you sleep, and don't take it to bed."

"Yes, my brother. By the way, I will send the cakes to those girls—" She happily took the sword, wrapped the cakes, and went out with the snake.

"I'm only twelve or thirteen years old, and I don't know if it's an inheritance..." Before he finished speaking, he stopped himself. Thinking of their parents, he sighed softly and brushed the words off the chessboard. Falling maple leaves calm your mind slightly.
