Buddha's Book of Beauty

When the corpse door was wide open, a black mass flew out of the corpse forest and headed towards Zhanghua Street.The corpse king's body was restricted by the continuous life curse, and he couldn't leave this place, but who would have expected that their spiritual energy escaped when the curse mark disappeared.

Xu Changfeng saw the evil spirit go to the southwest, so he chased after it.The direction he was chasing that day was Xiangmanlou on Zhanghua Street.

In Xiangmanlou, Gu Tao and Su Liquan are moving flowers.Gu Tao heard that there were many beauties in Xiangmanlou, so he wanted to go and have a look. She went alone, but Su Liquan saw her absurdity and couldn't resist her, so he followed her.

"Le Tao, you are only thirteen or fourteen years old, so I'm afraid it's not good to come to this place of fireworks so often?" Su Liquan and her, pretending to be gardeners, sneaked into Xiangmanlou.But Su Liquan didn't want to stay here for long.

"Changxia, let me ask you, where is the most comfortable place in Shengjing?" Su Liquan listened to the melodious sounds around him, looked at the flattering smiles on the faces of the dice, and the suppressed and excited voices coming from the room, He replied in embarrassment: "There are many rules in Shengjing, and the officials also have a lot of troubles. Although this place is... fun, it is not a serious place after all." Gu Tao moved a pot of flowers, said: "There are serious ways to play in a serious place. There are benefits to being nonsense. Since you are here, don’t you let yourself down if you don’t do nonsense?” She blinked her long eyes, and took advantage of the old bustard’s inattention, and dragged Su Liquan into a door. In the hidden room, I hid under the bed.

"Le Tao..." Su Liquan lowered his voice, "There's enough commotion outside, can't you hear it better this way?" She glanced at the absurd surroundings, feeling very uncomfortable.

Gu Tao took out a clean cloth and spread it in front of him, "Oh, Changxia, the garden is full of spring scenery, so I have to come in to enjoy it..." Su Liquan blushed, and was about to leave.

"Hey—it's a pity, sister Shen still said you are not afraid of anything? Are you going to back down?" Su Liquan knew that she was trying to provoke her, but she stayed and said politely : "Don't provoke me, since you recognize me as the eldest sister, I will accompany you to mess around this time, and I will not do this again in the future!" Gu Tao put his arm around her affectionately, nodded repeatedly, but was thinking about being cheerful and cheerful on weekdays. How would the simple Su Liquan react after hearing the "spring event"?She likes to see decent people not being serious. Thinking of this, she is happy.

"This is the oiran's room. I heard that this oiran is more charming than Hua, this is the first time..." Gu Tao slowly said the news she knew about Xiangmanlou.Su Liquan was puzzled in his heart, how could this little girl have such a hobby, but she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but she talked about the cloud and rain in a very familiar tone?

Someone walked in from outside the door, holding their breath, they saw the door was closed, four feet entered the room, a pair of extremely delicate satin pearl embroidered shoes, and a pair of men's black boots came towards the bed.Changxia was very embarrassed, seeing Gu Tao's expectant look, he simply covered her ears with his hands.Gu Tao didn't expect her to come out like this, so as not to disturb the people above and not to argue with her, he just lowered his head regretfully.

"Xue'er, your skin is as white as snow—" the man above took off his clothes and praised sincerely.Su Liquan was forced to listen to the conversation above. Gu Tao looked at her expression and found it interesting.

"Master Zhang, don't do this..."

"Xue'er, let's settle it soon—I can't wait!" Zhang Bi threw her on the bed and started to do things with his children.

"No, please don't..." The woman up there seemed to be extremely reluctant, the bed shook, and Su Liquan's face became even more ugly.

Gu Tao raised his hand and signaled Su Liquan to cover his ears, she would do it herself, Su Liquan put down his hands as if he was relieved.

"Xue Qingluo, you dare to bite me—you think you are a good thing, but a slut!" Just when Gu Tao heard these words, she was about to cover her ears, but her expression changed. She remembered A person from the past.

"You, you two servants, how dare you break into this high-class wing? Get out of here, or I will ask someone to stick you to death!" That Zhang Bi was very arrogant, pressing on Xueqing with his upper body naked. Luo didn't even put any shame on him.Su Liquan followed Gu Tao and got out from under the bed, "I finally don't have to listen to the corner of the bed, what a joy!" Seeing that Gu Tao's eyes were wrong, she pointed her sword at Zhang Bi to prevent him from yelling and causing unnecessary trouble .

"You..." Before Zhang Bi could utter the words "really bold", he heard Gu Tao shout: "Shut up, come down!" But being pointed at with a sword, he had to get out of bed first.

Gu Tao glanced at Xue Qingluo, her delicate collarbone was exposed, and she was still wearing her underwear.Gu Tao frowned slightly, but he still approached the bed, and put on Xue Qingluo's clothes, "Thank you, thank you..." Xue Qingluo raised her face, and she had a pair of silver eyes, as if she was fishing in the Milky Way. The color is bright, with tears in his eyes, which is extremely lovable.There is a faint aura about her, but after looking at her for a long time, I feel more and more that there is a charming, indescribable coquettish charm between her brows. "You know that flowers are more colorful when you are very pale", that's what this kind of beauty is all about.

"You, your name is Xue Qingluo?" Gu Tao looked into her eyes, thinking of the woman who blocked the demon soldiers for her in the past.

"Nu, my family is exactly Xue Qingluo..." She sobbed softly, Gu Tao and Su Liquan hadn't developed much yet, unlike Xue Qingluo, who was only 15 years old and already had a graceful figure.They were wearing men's clothes, had no ear piercing or makeup, and spoke in rough voices, so both Zhang Bi and Xue Qingluo thought they were men.

"Master, let's go quickly, you... and I are inferior people, so don't drag you down—" Gu Tao didn't answer, but just handed her the clothes, Xue Qingluo put on the clothes, walked to the Kneeling down in front of Bi: "Master Zhang, please don't make things difficult for these two, they and I are newcomers and ignorant, please don't worry about it, I...I will definitely serve you well..."

That Zhang Bi looked arrogant, and said quite proudly: "Forget it, my son is spending money for fun, these two go out quickly, and don't miss my time. As for you... it seems that you still owe some money □□, if you take good care of me, I will naturally not care about these bastards!" As he said, his eyes followed Xue Qingluo's slender neck and fell to his chest.Gu Tao's eyes were deep, and he narrowed his eyes slightly. In just a moment, he snatched the sword from Su Liquan's hand and stabbed three inches below Zhang Bi's ribs. His whole body stiffened suddenly, and he fell down.Su Liquan didn't expect Gu Tao to come up with such a move. She was used to seeing dead people on the battlefield, so she wasn't afraid, and she couldn't say she sympathized with such people, but Gu Tao's precise and ruthless strikes really surprised her.

She looked at the depth of the bloodstain on the tip of the sword, and probed Zhang Bi's breath, feeling more and more confused about what Gu Tao was going to do.

Xue Qingluo couldn't support herself, and fell to the ground, very panicked, but tried her best to restrain herself from screaming.She looked at Gu Tao, obviously he was only a young man younger than her, but at this moment she didn't panic at all, and she couldn't help feeling a little admiration in her heart.

"Young master, you should leave quickly, Zhang Bi and the Ruan family are distant relatives, and we will not let you off easily—" She didn't cry as Gu Tao imagined, but was thinking of them, Gu Tao said with a slight smile : "You don't have to be afraid, it's just that you're dragging down Changxia and I'm dragging you down, you'd better go first!"

Su Liquan was unhappy when he heard this, and said, "You underestimate me so much? I'm also someone who has experienced the battlefield. How can such a small scene hold me down?"

"Snow Maiden, are you willing to go out from here?"

"This...Naturally. It's just..." Xue Qingluo was very embarrassed, paused and said: "Just going out is not necessarily a good thing. It is better to show a smile and welcome guests than to sit and eat. If it is not forced by the world, who wants to be reduced to prostitution?" Most of the people who sell here are forced by life, and the family is really short of money. If a woman wants to have money in a short time, this is probably the best place to go.Su Liquan wanted to say the words of redemption, but could she save her for a while, or for the rest of her life?Besides, although she doesn't care about her reputation, she always has to think about the Su family. The prince has been watching her very closely recently!If you hold on to this matter, it will definitely make it difficult for your father.Thinking about this, he said: "I'll go outside for a while, if you have something to say, you should speak quickly." Gu Tao nodded, and saw Su Liquan go out, and closed the door tightly.

Gu Tao turned his head, Xue Qingluo was like this, she definitely didn't want to be eaten by him, if it was usual, she would not want to meddle in other's affairs, but since she promised that woman, she couldn't let Xue Qingluo stay here forever.

"Ms. Snow, please allow me to ask a question." Gu Tao said very politely.

"Excuse me." Gu Tao was so polite to her, and Xue Qingluo was also very respectful.

"That person probably didn't kiss you just now?"

"This..." Xue Qingluo was thin-skinned and blushed slightly, adding a touch of charm, but seeing that Gu Tao had no intention of bullying, she shook her head.Gu Tao came closer, Xue Qingluo watched her stand on tiptoe, before she could react, she kissed his lips, although it was only a light touch, Xue Qingluo's face turned red, " Son, you..."

Gu Tao took two steps back, bowed, and said, "Miss is such a wonderful person, she can still wait for me when she is in a dilemma, Xiaosheng is very impressed. I couldn't help but offended, please forgive me."

Xue Qingluo looked at her, although the brows were not fully opened, but there was a chic and handsome look.Watching her talk about swordsmanship is also extraordinary.The most precious thing is that she has never known him before, so for her like this, it is impossible not to touch her heartstrings.

"I heard the rules in Shengjing, if a woman has skin-to-skin contact with someone, she is his. Xiaosheng must be responsible for offending the girl, and please come out with me, otherwise I am really worried about you here alone."

No one has ever said such a thing to Xue Qingluo, she bit her lips lightly and said: "But I am in a brothel, I am afraid I will miss you..."

"I don't have an official title, and I don't like to be dragged down by common names. You don't have to worry about me." Huahua on her waist had already woken up. Hearing her words, she lightly bit her waist, and Gu Tao ate Pain, but not showing half of it on the face.

"But if you want to redeem my body, I'm afraid..." Seeing that she looked like a servant, she was already an oiran, and the ransom would probably cost a lot of gold.

"As for the ransom, please wait for seven days. After seven days, I will definitely redeem you from this brothel." The alchemy technique cannot be frequently operated, and the amount of alchemy is also limited.There is a currency system in the human world. If she disrupts this system, it may cause a lot of economic turmoil. At that time, it will attract the attention of the heavens, and it will be troublesome.

Xue Qingluo looked into her eyes, filled with joy and just said: "Okay, I believe you."

Su Liquan pushed the door open and came in. Seeing the two of them was a bit strange, but he didn't ask any further questions. "Let's deal with this man quickly. Although you didn't only stab three points below the ribs, you didn't kill him, but if you leave him alone, he will not be far away from death." Gu Tao saw her observing so carefully. , secretly praised in his heart, tapped two acupuncture points on Zhang Bi's body, and said: "I have already tapped his acupuncture points, and I will unlock it tomorrow morning. Find a rope to tie him up, and if the old bustard asks, he will say Mr. Zhang will stay here for seven days." She handed Xue Qingluo a white bottle, and pulled Su Liquan away. He went to the side and said, "Brother Su, borrow some money and pay it back to you in half a month." Without further ado, Su Liquan took out a stack of bank notes and gave it to Gu Tao.Gu Tao clicked his lips, thanked him and gave it to Xue Qingluo. "You take these bank notes first, I will come every day, you don't have to be afraid." Xue Qingluo nodded, and was about to kneel down to thank her. Gu Tao quickly stopped her and said, "If you follow me, don't Kneeling at every turn, you and I, as well as other people, are equal. If this happens again, I will be angry!" She said displeased.

Xue Qingluo said: "Young Master, Qing Luo will definitely remember it in the future. Can I tell you your name?" After saying so many words, Xue Qingluo still didn't know her name, Gu Tao said: "I'm Gu Tao. Looking back, Gu Tao , ceramic pottery."

"Qing Luo remembered." She lowered her head and said.

Su Liquan felt that he was completely ignored, coughed twice, Xue Qingluo came back to his senses, and said: "I also want to thank this young master, dare to ask the young master's name?"

"Long Xia." Her name is rarely known to outsiders, so it's not impossible to tell her.

"Thank you, Mr. Changxia." Xue Qingluo saluted, and Su Liquan returned the salute.

"So, let's leave first." Gu Tao and Su Liquan moved Zhang Bi to the bed, tidied up and arranged them a little, and then went back.In the next few days, Gu Taodu sneaked into Huamanlou alone.

The wind blew over Huamanlou, scattered the thick powdery air, rolled up the fallen flowers, and blew them to the roof of Ruan Mansion in Shengjing.Ruan Mei was on fire in the room, when someone behind her sneered, the tone and strength of that was really chilling to the bone.Ruan Mei's scalp was a little numb, but she still smiled and turned around slowly. She saw a beautiful young girl approaching. Her hair was braided into four strands on her forehead. There was only a silver-dot emerald green butterfly hairpin on her head. The eyes are smiling, but it makes people shudder.This person was Yan Yaoling, the eldest daughter of the Yan family, who was deeply loved by the current empress dowager and named Princess Heshuo—although she was not comparable to Princess Gulun, the daughter of Emperor Yunqi's own daughter, she was second only to her.

"Princess." Ruan Mei put her right hand three inches below her waist and saluted.Yan Yaoling said: "Get up!" She sat down on the lacquered stool, and the accompanying maid replaced the tea set on the table with pear blossom white porcelain teacups and teapots, and made a cup of water for her.This clear water is the snow on the plum blossoms when it snowed last year. She collected a lot, and since she doesn't like tea, she kept some with her.

Ruan Mei didn't dare to criticize her behavior, she sat down timidly when she heard her say "sit".

"The matter of the walking corpse has become the prince's handle. You, don't you have any explanation for this?" Yan Yaoling gently put down the teacup, but the aura of the superior was inadvertently revealed.Ruan Mei has always been eloquent, but now she is a little slurred: "Princess, princess...it's my fault..." She couldn't say anything else.

"Oh—it's a pity that you have a good skin." Yan Yaoling fiddled with her hair, as if she wanted to count how many, "Don't you want to take revenge on that little girl?"

"But the prince said that I would not be allowed to act rashly... That girl is cunning, and Yan Anzang is by her side..." When she said this, she took a look at Yan Yaoling's color, and then she dared to continue: " That Yan Anzang has been protecting that brother and sister, our people really can't find a chance."

"Yan Anzang?" She sneered, her eyes filled with endless indifference, "I heard that Gu Tao likes to go to brothels recently, but Yan Anzang, as a Taoist, is not allowed to enter brothels. Yes, she and her elder brother are going to Chunyue to seek a teacher."

Ruan Mei said: "Princess, you mean to do it in the brothel?"

"The evil spirit entered Zhanghua Street. If something happens, you can only say that the evil spirit did it. As for who made the knife, those lowly people are mostly weaknesses... Do you know what to do?"

Ruan Mei said: "But this... will the prince believe it?" No one knows whether Xie Chong has entered Zhanghua Street, how can she win people's trust with her empty words?

Yan Yaoling said impatiently: "Didn't Chunyue's elder brother Xu Changfeng also come that day? Naturally, he wouldn't let Xie Chong ignore him, he had already sneaked into Zhanghua Street and waited for Xie Chong to come out."

Ruan Mei thought of that white-haired young man, no wonder his spiritual strength and swordsmanship were unmatched by others, she wondered if it was from Chunyue, but it turned out to be Xu Changfeng, Chunyue's elder brother!

Just when Ruan Mei was surprised, Yan Yaoling said again: "By the way, the registration for Chunyue is about to start, you and I will go together!" Yan Yaoling got up, "Let your people do it later, it is best before you After you leave." She dropped a few words and left with the maid and the teacup.

Ruan Mei's tense nerves relaxed, she knew that Yan Yaoling had always been vicious and cunning, and she thought that she was favored by the Queen Mother, but it was just luck.But after getting in touch with her, I realized that this person was far more resourceful than her.Originally, it didn't take much energy to kill a civilian.But with the prince's ban, she couldn't do it easily.The brothel on Zhanghua Street was chosen to fight, using evil spirits as an excuse, and without Yan Anzang's protection, Gu Tao could only be "killed by mistake" if he bribed the brothel.She left at this time and went to Chunyue to study, and there was an alibi. Even if the prince could find out that it was her, but at that time, the brothel actor had already completed his task and committed suicide by taking poison. There was no physical evidence. frame her.Even if the matter of the walking corpse is found out, time has passed and the yin house has long since disappeared, Emperor Yun Qi will still doubt the prince's motives.The prince weighed the pros and cons, and could only suffer from this "dumb loss".Yan Yaoling is more than a year younger than Ruan Mei, but she already has such deep scheming, if one day she comes to harm Ruan Mei, Ruan Mei will feel terrible just thinking about it.

It's just that Gu Tao has no direct interest in Yan Yaoling, she has never been mean, so why does she have to kill Gu Tao for herself?Just to vent your anger?This reason is far-fetched.

Her appearance is not inferior to Yan Yaoling, but in a few years, who else in Beijing can compare with Yan Yaoling's appearance?

"Such a woman, what kind of man can fall into her eyes?" Ruan Mei shuddered slightly as she looked at the faint seal left by the teacup on the table.

Yan Yaoling returned to the mansion, saw that Yan Anzang was about to go out, so she stopped and said, "Brother has also reached the age of the crown, should he start a family and start a business?" She knew what Yan Anzang didn't like to hear, she I just want to pick up some words, "With the status of the Yan family today, it is not difficult for you to marry a princess!"

Yan Anzang said: "In a few days, sister, you will have to pay respects to me. I think there are quite a few princes and grandchildren in Beijing who admire you!"

"Yan Anzang, what do you think you are? I call you brother to respect my deceased parents, 'sister'? Oh, do you really think you are qualified to be my brother?" Yan Yaoling said coldly.

"Since you hate me so much, don't talk to me." There was no trace of anger on Yan Anzang's face.

"I'm just reminding you, if you remember the kindness of your parents, don't do anything that hurts or humiliates the clan." She had white teeth, and the words she said were quite sharp.

"Understood." Yan Anzang said lightly, and went towards the posthouse after speaking.

The author has something to say:

Die Zi: Both men and women who serve Israel in the brothel can be called dice.
