Buddha's Book of Beauty

Chunyue has four senior mentors—Junju, Peng Xian, Ziqi, and Boya. They are also the founders of Chunyue. Among the four, Junju is the suzerain, and the disciples he accepts are called inner disciples. , each enrollment only accepts two students, and the other veterans only accept three students each time. Their apprentices are not inferior to inner disciples, but they specialize in surgery. In the way of health preservation, Boya is good at making musical instruments, and Ziqi is good at refining elixirs and swordsmanship.The other mentors also have their own specialties, but they are not as pure and talented as these four.The instructors will teach students how to pour their own spiritual power into formations, weapons, pills, etc. according to the type of spiritual power of the disciples, such as water-type spiritual power and fire-type spiritual power, so that they can exert their greatest power as much as possible.Ten days later, after paying homage to the patriarch, an entrance examination will be conducted, and all disciples must choose a mentor that suits them, and formally worship under their sect to practice.

"Master, today is the day for all the new disciples to pay homage to their patriarch. We can't miss the auspicious time because of a stubborn commoner!" The ten-day period has come, and today is the official day for all disciples to become priests.Jun stayed at the Zhengrong Pavilion for a while, but did not go to the Patriarch's Terrace inside, Ruan Mei was anxious, she thought that although Gu Tao was unlikely to survive, she always did not want to leave future troubles.As long as the priest ceremony is over, Gu Tao will be brought back to life, and if he misses the priest's time, he will not be able to enter the Spring Moon Gate again.

"The sky is still early at this time, and it is an elegant thing to enjoy the beauty of the spring moon here." Shen Shu said unhurriedly.

"You are so impatient, it seems that you don't want Junior Sister Gu Tao to participate in the priest ceremony!" Su Liquan said with folded arms.Gu Tao greeted the two of them and said that he would be back in ten days. Although they were worried, they thought she was not a weak person, so they let her go.What's more, you have issued a heavy order. In the ten days, all disciples must attend classes and practice hard to prepare for the next entrance exam. If you miss class for any reason, you will be kicked out of Chunyue.Before becoming an official disciple of each mentor, no one dares to relax.

"Master, it would be disrespectful to keep the patriarch waiting for a long time!" Ruan Mei urged them, ignoring them.

Jun looked at her, his face was still gentle and rainy, and he said: "Yes, for a... commoner, why are we waiting here?" He turned around, as if he was about to walk up the stairs, but He turned back and said, "Oh, by the way, I heard that you were poisoned by the corpse a few days ago, are you alright?"

It is rare for Jun Ju to care for his disciples with such a friendly face. Ruan Mei felt flattered, and cupped her hands and said, "It's almost better."

"How do I remember that my father was demoted for raising walking corpses?" Jun Ju frowned slightly.

"This..." Ruan Mei didn't expect him to suddenly mention the walking corpse, so she had to search her brains to find some reasons: "My disciple didn't know about the walking corpse, and the disciple was not in Beijing at the time. It's just that my father was always loyal and filial, and suddenly To be in such a catastrophe must have been caused by a traitor."

"Oh? If it wasn't done by your family, then when did you get this corpse poison?" Jun Ju asked casually, but every sentence made Ruan Mei terrified, looking at the strange eyes of the disciples around her, as if It was because they disliked that they were suffering from corpse poison, and among them, there were many nobles in Beijing.No, I have to clarify quickly, otherwise she will be "isolated and helpless" in this Chunyue in the future.

"My disciples have always envied loyalty. That day when I went to the mansion to pay respects to the martyrs, I didn't expect that behind the mansion was a shack with walking corpses. I couldn't avoid it, so I was haunted by the breath of corpses?" She obviously used a questioning tone, but it sounded incomparable to others. affim.

"Oh? At that time...your father was demoted. I remember it was about half a month ago. Your corpse poison was only released a few days ago. I have never seen such a long incubation period!" Junzuo's eyes were clear, as if Already seen through everything.

Ruan Mei bit the bullet, and said weakly: "Maybe, it's because my corpse poison is more unique?"

"Then do you know why Gu Tao missed the hour?"

"The scenery of the spring moon is beautiful, maybe I accidentally fell somewhere?"

"Chi——" Junju couldn't help laughing. All the disciples had never seen him laugh. Although he laughed, he was still as bright as the breeze and the moon, and he was completely out of his usual rigid and boring.Although the elders are extremely old, their faces are still youthful.Junju's smile certainly aroused the enthusiasm of some new female disciples.

Xu Changfeng didn't say a word at the side, he just wondered in his heart: "Master, why is he so talkative today, could it be that he is delaying time for that girl?" It's impossible to be so focused.

Rongyu never talked much, Yan Anzang saw that he was not talking, and he was not in the mood to talk either.Yan Yaoling watched Ruan Mei's performance quietly from the side. Although she had a girlish smile on her face, she only had sarcasm in her heart, but she would not miss the play for fun.

The other disciples occasionally said something, but they didn't dare to be too presumptuous. After all, Sect Master Chunyue is a person who even the emperor pays respect to.Ruan Mei was spoiled since she was a child, and she hated Gu Tao very much. Seeing that Jun Ju didn't give Gu Tao a good face, but sometimes said caring words to herself, she thought that she was more in his heart than Gu Tao. For status, talk more and be presumptuous.

Looking at Jun Zhu's smile, she was also a little intoxicated, and she didn't mind that this was her master.

Just when she was intoxicated, a sneer sounded behind her, and she trembled all over. How could this voice be so familiar?

"Miss Ruan, you're really amazing—" Gu Tao changed into the Chunyue Baiyun dress that he worshiped, and walked quickly, beckoning with Rong Yu's eyes, and Rong Yu nodded in response.When Ruan Mei saw her, her expression was very ugly. She glanced at Yan Yaoling, and saw her indifferent expression, but she was sizing up Gu Tao with interest.Ruan Mei turned her eyes to Gu Tao bitterly, "Today is the day of priests, you are so negligent, can you put your patriarch in your eyes?"

"Of course I didn't take Patriarch seriously..." Everyone gasped, and Gu Tao added: "Patriarch is so noble, if you take it seriously, how negligent you are! I naturally take it to heart every day , make a good offering." Everyone was relieved.

"Slick tongue!" Jun Zhu said, flicking his sleeves, but his face softened a lot.

"Master asked you about the origin of the corpse poison just now, are you afraid that you didn't tell the truth?" Gu Tao stood up like a pine and asked straightforwardly. Naturally, there is no need to show any mercy to the person who harmed her.

"I... of course I'm telling the truth?"

"Thanks to you and your guards, I spent nine days and nights under the damp and dark blue sea smoke, and being pushed down from such a high place is really uncomfortable!"

"You... I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Then let me say it more clearly, you bear the grudge against me for exposing your father's crime of keeping corpses, stole my red training king snake while I was not paying attention, and ordered your lackey guards to restrain me and throw me into the prison, using it as a threat. The blue sea is under the smoke. You know that Chunyue prohibits killing, and your guards have reminded you, but you just said lightly, saying that someone asked about it in the future, and you only said that I accidentally fell off the cliff."

"You... talking nonsense! I was in the room that day, and I didn't go out, and I never went to Bihaiyan. My guards have been guarding the door. You can send them to question!" Ruan Mei argued.

"The guard is yours, how do you testify?" female disciple Yang Ange said.

Ruan Mei didn't expect someone to ask a question suddenly, and she couldn't answer for a while.

"Then call your bodyguards to testify. I believe Master is very discerning and will be able to see if they are lying." Gu Tao pretended to look at Jun Zhu with admiration, and Jun Zhu turned his head away from her, They didn't help either.

Ruan Mei's face was full of complacency again, the guards were all trained, they were all top-notch in lying and answering, Gu Tao had little knowledge, even though Jun Ju was a fairy, he couldn't see the evil in people's hearts.

Those two guards also came quickly, they were extremely majestic, their faces were above average, and their martial arts were top-notch.Ruan Mei winked at the guard, seeing the atmosphere here and Gu Tao standing here safe and sound, the guard already understood most of it.They are quick-witted, good-looking, first-class in martial arts, and have a higher level of spiritual dimension. This is the main reason why Ruan Mei brought them to protect them.

However, Gu Tao didn't ask the guards what happened that day, he just stared at their arms and said, "Can you two show your arms?"

"You are so young, you have no shame! You are so hungry after seeing a handsome man!" Ruan Mei said contemptuously.

Gu Tao gave her a blank look: "It's an insult to my aesthetics to take a second look at this kind of thing!" Mu Qi couldn't help laughing when he heard this, this little girl really dares to say it!

"You... have no shame!"

"I'm afraid you have ghosts in your heart, so you dare not let him show his arms!"

"Show your arms and show her!" Ruan Mei didn't want to be honest.The guards did as they said, showing their arms. The moment they showed their arms, their eyes widened in surprise—there was a thin black line on their arms!But they don't know when it happened.

"That day at Bihaiyan, I put a slight snake venom on you, but I didn't want you to die so early, so I added a little grass, so the snake venom was only released today."

"So, Junior Sister Ruan, have you met Gu Tao?" Chang Feng said. "Even so, it can't be said that I saw her that day, maybe she fell on my bodyguard secretly?"

"Then what about my scarlet training king snake? I also secretly put it in your room?" Ruan Mei took a peek at Yan Yaoling, she caught the snake but didn't give it to her, must she be angry?But when Ruan Mei looked at her, she just yawned sleepily, she didn't show her displeasure, instead she was not interested in this matter.She plucked up her courage a bit: "How do you prove that this snake is yours? And you didn't write your name?"

Gu Tao said: "Then you admit that the king snake is with you?" Ruan Mei was taken aback, regretting her slip of the tongue.

"So what?"

"You bring the king snake, I have a way to prove it."

The Chilian King Snake is extremely difficult to tame, and it is expensive and difficult to raise. Gu Tao's poor appearance can't afford it, even if Gu Tao stays with it for a longer time, it will be useless.In the past few days, she has been entertaining the king snake, and the king snake has become quite docile, Ruan Mei inexplicably gained some confidence, and sent the guard to bring the glass bottle containing the snake.

"Master, fellow disciples, this Chilian King Snake is extremely poisonous, you have to be careful." Ruan Mei reminded very kindly, all the disciples stayed away, and Xu Changfeng also tightened his body to prevent accidents.Yan Yaoling glanced at the king snake in the bottle, and yawned again, sitting on the stone railing, with her body slightly arched forward, her chin resting, her petite face was very cute and delicate.

Under the sunlight, the glazed bottle is radiant and radiant, and the red snake in the bottle is also very bright and beautiful.The guards put on their wrist guards and gloves, opened the lid, and released the king snake.

Ruan Mei held crab cakes and raw mutton in her hands, and said: "Chilian King Snake, you can see clearly who feeds you with these foods every day, don't mistake the owner!" Such a blatant temptation with food , Jun Ju didn't stop him, but Gu Tao hugged his arms and glanced at it quite indifferently: "If you leave with others today, you won't have to come back later." She said in a very indifferent tone, somewhat With Rong Yu's tone, the king snake opened its big eyes, puffed its cheeks, crossed its body, glanced at the food in Ruan Mei's hand, and slipped over.Everyone looked at the situation and thought that Gu Tao was doomed, but who knew that the king snake suddenly slid back to Tao's side after eating, and Gu Tao said approvingly: "That's right, it's hard to turn down someone's kindness, but you are unambiguous. Today My son's dinner can also be saved." The king snake followed Gu Tao for many days, and also learned her "thick-skinned" kung fu.

Everyone laughed, Ruan Mei clenched her fists angrily, this person is a snake, she is being played like a monkey! "You..." Before Ruan Mei finished speaking, Gu Tao said, "Master, what should we do now? This Ruan Mei deliberately killed me and stole my king snake. Chunyue forbids killing and stealing. Got two of them!"

Jun Ju Hui glanced, "You are already Tongwei, and you are my official disciple of Chunyue, so I will naturally uphold justice for you."

"In ten days, I was promoted from no spiritual power to the Bronze Dimensional level, which is incredible!"

"She is just a 13-year-old countryman, and she doesn't have spirit stones or pills to greatly increase her spirit power!"

"What kind of magic did this person use to improve so quickly?"

"There are no monsters or fallen spirits under the blue sea smoke, and she has nowhere to get Lingyuan!"

"Looking at her stable aura, she doesn't look like she's taking pills or spirit essence..." All the disciples started discussing, discussing how her spiritual power rose so quickly.On the other hand, Rong Yu stared at Gu Tao's waist for a while, and sighed softly. Yan Anzang stood beside Rong Yu, noticed his gaze, and had some guesses in his heart.And Yan Yaoling looked at Gu Tao with deep and probing eyes.

"Ahem..." Xu Changfeng coughed, signaling for everyone to be quiet, "Master, please show me."

Jun looked at Gu Tao, with an imperceptible coldness on the corner of his mouth, and said to Ruan Mei: "Whether you went to Bihaiyan that day, and what did you do, neither of you has sufficient evidence, and I have no way of making a conclusion. As for the Scarlet Practicing King Snake, since it recognizes Gu Tao as its master, you are always in the wrong place when you snatch people's things. I will punish you to clean the outer hall for three months, can you admit it?"

"Master..." Jun Ju's eyes were cold, and Ruan Mei was taken aback. What Jun Ju meant was that he only took the lesser crime. If he continued to entangle himself, he would search for evidence to prove that he had harmed Gu Tao. Thinking of this, Ruan Mei said: "Yes, I saw that king snake was fun, so I played with it for a few days, and I didn't discuss it with Gu Tao, so I was willing to be punished."

Gu Tao looked at Jun Zhu, he had a lot of research on the formation, and he might have guessed that he used the "Spirit Gathering Formation". If he doesn't expose it at this time, one is that she did not violate the agreement with him, and indeed achieved the goal with her own strength. Tongwei, the second is that I don’t want all disciples to follow her example and use tricks to practice, to be a good example to others, and the most taboo is for disciples to seek tricks, because the spiritual power of this kind of cultivation is vain and comes quickly, but it is of no practical help in the actual cultivation of skills and foundations beneficial.

"Yes, I would like to listen to Master's instruction." Gu Tao did not pursue further.

"If that's the case, let's go to the Patriarch's Terrace to worship the priest!" After this trouble, all the disciples also restrained their minds, climbed up the steps, and followed Jun Ju to the Patriarch's Terrace.

After the priest finished, Gu Tao went to Rong Yu's room, saw him sitting in front of the window, seemed to be thinking, and joked, "Brother, are you missing your sweetheart?"

Rong Yu came back to his senses, when he heard the word "sweetheart", he just shook his head and said: "You are still so open-minded! Don't want to do such a dangerous thing alone in the future, at least tell me in advance."

"I'm sorry, brother." Gu Tao agreed with his mouth, but said in his heart: "Let's talk about the future things!"

Seeing her like this, Rong Yu knew that she would behave like this again next time, so he tickled her nose and said, "Jiu Geyin came from the Emperor of Heaven, since you and I descended voluntarily, don't do anything that will reveal our identities, lest It's just provoking right and wrong."

"Yes, yes, brother—what were you thinking just now?"

Rong Yu paused for a moment, "Do you think the statue of the Patriarch is somewhat familiar?"

Gu Tao recalled that the statue of the white jade patriarch seemed to be made of extremely rare Kunlun white jade. I didn't think much about the relationship with Yu. "Well, the carving is not bad." Gu Tao commented pertinently.

Rong Yu tapped his index finger, and stopped discussing with her about the patriarch, but asked: "Who caused the injury on your waist?" Although Gu Tao had healed the wound in the Nine Songs, if you don't look carefully, you won't see it at all. Can't see it, but Ke Rong and her are brothers and sisters, how can they not see it?

"It's okay, I met two lunatics, but they were all repaired by me."

"This is a painkiller. I just met senior brother and he was about to go out. When he met me, I gave this medicine."

"Oh, it's just..." She just wanted to say that it was just a "slight injury", but when she saw Rong Yu watching her, she swallowed it and took the medicine.

"In the past, when you were fighting with a sword in your waist, you didn't cry out for pain, you always said 'slight injury', but now that you are a mortal, the pain will definitely be a hundred times worse than that. Let you bear it alone. What's the use of being an older brother?" When Rong Yu and Gu Tao were together, they always talked a lot.

"Okay, okay, I will take the medicine well, three times a day, and I will never miss it. There is an entrance exam tomorrow. I'll go back first." Gu Tao was afraid that Rongyu would be long-winded again, and hurriedly escaped.

"Kunlun jade, the statue of the patriarch, what does the Spring Moon Sect Master have to do with Kunlun?" Rong Yu asked in a low voice.Looking at the white cranes flying in the sky outside the window, he fell into deep thought.
