Chapter 5 Giving Immortality

Book ship owners make a living copying and selling books.

For Gu Bai, it was not easy to get a book to transcribe in this era.

Of course, the most cost-effective way is to write your own books, copy them, and finally sell them.

"The Legend of the White Snake" is the book that Gu Bai copied out by himself in order to make money.

What he didn't expect was that such a big basket was poked out.

This made Gu Bai lose the interest of continuing to hide in the mountain temple and copy books.

It just so happened that his copying of books in the morning had also come to an end.

Therefore, after eating the fast, Gu Bai asked the host to say goodbye.

The scriptures copied by Gu Bai, the calligraphy is not inferior to the famous everyone, there is no fallacy, whether it is treasured or given to pilgrims, it is a gift that can be taken out, and the presiding officer of the mountain temple certainly tries his best to keep it.

Xie Changan couldn't help persuading him to stay.

Although the hook is very ugly, Gu Bai is gone, and he lacks little company in the temple.

Xie Changan doesn't want to live the life of an old monk with a green lantern ancient Buddha.

Gu Bai was unmoved, and the host had no choice but to wish him: "If there is another thing about chanting excessively, Gu Tan will not forget us." ”

Gu Bai glanced at him.

Excess is not a good thing.

This old monk with thick eyebrows and big eyes is also unscrupulous.

They said goodbye to the host and went out of the mountain temple.

The drizzle is like silk, the mountains and forests are covered with light mist, and the grass and trees are as green as new after being washed by the rain.

There is an ancient camphor tree in front of the mountain temple, which is lush and covers the mountain gate of the Zen temple, making the mountain temple more quiet.

Going down the bluestone slab, a jade belt appears at the foot of the mountain.

It was a river.

Going down the mountain with Gu Bai were also Wang Shouyi's errand soldiers.

Gu Bai's book boat stopped at the pier at the bottom of the mountain.

The book ship was big enough, and Wang Shouyi could take a boat to transport Fahai's things back to Yuhang City.

The Gu family's book boat has long been burned, and now this book boat is newly built by Gu Bai.

He added his idea to this book boat, with a shop in the front, a place to copy books, and a place to stay in the back.

At the stern of the boat, there is a small stove, which is used for boiling tea and cooking.

The hook put on a robe, propped up the bamboo pole, pushed the boat away from the dock, turned around and headed for Yuhang City.

Gu Bai stayed in the front bookstore with Wang Shouyi and the others.

The book boat looks slightly smaller on the outside, but inside it is well laid out and orderly, and everything is in order.

"Don't say it, this ship is quite elegant. Wang Shouyi couldn't help but nodded.

There are many waterways in Yuhang City, they often travel by boat, and they have also been on the painting boat, but they have never taken such a comfortable boat.

Gu Bai sat in front of the bookcase and let out a comfortable moan.

His book case, as well as the mat under the seat, was specially made by someone, which was not comparable to the broken mat of the mountain temple.

The officers brought in several suitcases one after another.

"All of this is from the French Pirate Tomb?"

"Hmm. ”

"How much gold, silver, and jewelry is enough for this monk to collect. Gu Bai was a little envious.

He now made all the money he had made from the books, and he had bought books, and he had very little money to squander.

"Not exactly, there are still some books in it. Wang Shouyi felt that those books should not come from ancient tombs.

"Books?"

Gu Bai was in the book business, and he became interested in it.

"Open it and take a look, and I'll help you count and check it. Gu Bai suggested.

Wang Shouyi nodded, "Yes." ”

After they copied the Fahai Zen Room yesterday, they haven't had time to count it.

Right now on the ship, there is just that opportunity.

Several people moved the bookcase, vacated a space, and opened and categorized Fahai's boxes one by one.

Contrary to Gu Bai's expectations, there were gold and silver jewelry, but not much, mostly some jewelry, or other funeral items.

These things emitted a rotten stench, which successfully made Gu Bai lose his interest in them.

As for the books, several are sutras.

Gu Bai flipped through it, and there were frequent errors on it, which was far inferior to the Buddhist scriptures he copied.

There is also a book of divination, which contains various methods of divination, some of which are evil.

For example, divination can be done with the skull of a young son, which can measure fortune.

There are also disgusting ones, such as picking women's moon water, which is enough to break the marriage.

"Hey, use this method of divination, and if it's useful, there will be ghosts. Gu Bai scoffed.

But after turning the page, he froze.

Maybe it's Fahai's handwriting.

He used a brush to sketch a stroke next to a divination, which at first said useful, and later added "narcissus" underneath.

What does this mean?

Using this method of divination, was guided by Narcissus?

What is Narcissus?

Gu Bai is already well-read because of copying books, but he is very unfamiliar with the name Narcissus.

With a stomach full of doubts, he glanced at this method of divination: after drowning a person, he performed some kind of divination by the river.

Gu Bai shook his head.

It seems that this narcissus is not a serious god, maybe he is still a water ghost.

Gu Bai was a little pity, he was going to follow this method, divination, and ask Narcissus who was the murderer of the Gu family.

Forget it, let's wait until I meet a taxi and let him help you do the math.

Gu Bai threw the book of divination to Wang Shouyi.

"It's full of evil divination, you put it away, don't let the bad guys get it. ”

Wang Shouyi flipped through, "What's wrong with this?"

Gu Bai had already opened the next book.

Hearing this, he raised his head and looked at Wang Shouyi, "You can't read?"

"Who do you look down on, of course I'm literate. Wang Shouyi raised his head and raised his voice.

The servants nodded, "Wang Zhutou is the most educated of our people. ”

Wang Shouyi looked proud and said modestly, "It's been awarded, it's been awarded." ”

"Then you can't see it yourself. Gu Bai dropped a book and continued to flip through others.

"But I don't know those words. ”

Wang Shouyi pointed to the word "divination", "These two are definitely not words!"

"This is divination. Gu Bai corrected him.

In this dynasty, Wang Shouyi and others were errand servants, belonging to lowly status, having no permanent property, and their status was not as high as that of the common people.

They are illiterate, and rightly so.

"Divination!"

Wang Shouyi tried hard to write it down, "Great, I know a lot of words at once." ”

Gu Bai was strange, and when he asked, he learned that Wang Shouyi only knew half of a word.

For example, if you defile and use newly learned words, you will lose money in Wang Shouyi's mouth.

"If you are defiled by others, you will not take advantage of it. ”

Wang Shouyi converted the loss into a loss, "so the loss is a loss, and there is nothing wrong with it." ”

Gu Bai was dumbfounded.

He couldn't imagine that this word could be converted from word to word, so he couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "You can change your name to Wang half." ”

To convert, it's half forgotten.

"If you can forget half of it, it means that you still remember half of it, it's okay, it's not bad. ”

In terms of culture, Wang Shouyi has always been content.

Gu Bai was speechless to Wang Shouyi.

He shook his head, and was about to put down the Diamond Sutra in his hand, when suddenly a piece of paper fell from the book, which was full of messy words.

Gu Bai picked it up and read it carefully.

Although the handwriting was sloppy, Gu Bai could see that this handwriting was the same as the handwriting on the divination book, and it was thought to be from Fahai's hand.

As for the content, as soon as Gu Bai read the first paragraph, he was already stunned:

"The path of eternal life: Consume a certain number of your kind, devour their souls, and people will receive their power, their souls. ”

There are remarks below:

Narcissus told me that with her methods, people can increase their lifespan and strengthen themselves.

Gu Bai was shocked and couldn't wait to look down.

"Narcissus became immortals by devouring their own kind. ”

"I tried it once, and Narcissus didn't lie to me, I really got stronger, and my ears and eyes were sharp. ”

Obviously, the contents of this letterhead were recorded by Fahai at different times.

"I'm hungry, hungry, I want to eat... Amitabha. ”

"Thanks to Narcissus' guidance, I stole the tomb today. ”

......

"I found that the best way to take the meat from the heart of a living person, cook it over a low heat and drink it with rice wine, which is a delicacy in the world.

After that, Fahai's handwriting became more sloppy, and his words did not match the preamble.

Gu Bai felt that Fahai's gang was probably attacked by prions.

Of course, Fahai also has moments of soberness.

As recorded in the last record: Divination today, Narcissus pointed out that there is a large tomb on the edge of the West Lake.
