Chapter 18 The little white fox loves to practice
When Gu Bai came down from the attic, a girl came in the study house.
She was dressed in white and had a red oil-paper umbrella.
Seeing that there was no one in the book room, she stayed by the door, curiously scanning everything in the book room.
Her eyes lit up when she saw the books on the shelves.
"Hello. Gu Bai walked down the wooden ladder, "Buy books, or copy books?"
"Buy..."
The girl turned her head, and when she saw Gu Bai, the whole person was fascinated.
Her heart was pounding, and she couldn't imagine that she could see such a handsome person in the bookstore.
Wait, is this a person?
So handsome, probably not.
There is no such handsome son in the fox demon clan.
Could it be that he is a vixen?
Well, it makes sense, my mother said, the fox demon has become a big fox demon, and Mei can confuse the master, the one in front of him......
No, it's not a big fox demon, at least it's a fox fairy.
I didn't expect to meet the fox fairy in the book house, it's too surprising, could it be that the fox fairy also likes books.
That's great.
Gu Bai didn't know that this girl's thoughts had been twisted and turned, and he thought she was a nymphomaniac.
Gu Bai is no longer surprised by this, sometimes being too handsome is also a trouble.
As long as you don't take advantage of him, everything is easy to say.
"Hello. Gu Bai called her again.
"Hey?" The girl came to her senses and saw Gu Bai staring at her.
She hurriedly put down the umbrella and bowed her hand to Gu Bai: "Bai Xiaobai, please meet the adult!"
Gu Bai was inexplicable, "Big, adult?"
In the town where people gather, it is inconvenient for Bai Xiaobai to point out Gu Bai's identity, and it is inconvenient to reveal his identity.
So, she tactfully reminded him, "In our circle, people as handsome as you are generally adults. ”
Gu Bai touched his cheek.
In handsome circles, there is still this saying?
It seems that it is not too much for him to be called an adult.
Unexpectedly, this girl was so young and praised people so quietly, Gu Bai was very relieved.
He looked at the girl with a much softer look.
"White... Xiaobai, right? I don't know what books you want to buy?" he pointed to the bookshelf and motioned for Bai Xiaobai to pick it himself.
The books in the book house are divided into categories, and it is very convenient for guests to find them by themselves.
Bai Xiaobai turned around, turned around and asked Gu Bai, "My lord, I'm looking for... Well... There is a book of gold. ”
"Yellow, gold?" Gu Baile said, "I won't tell you, I also want to find such a book." ”
Gu Bai is very poor now.
"No?" the girl looked at the bookshelf, saying that there was a golden house in the good books.
"Is there a book on practice?"
This stumped Gu Bai.
Cultivation is enlightenment.
The way of Confucianism, that is, the four books, five classics and six arts, is available in the bookstore, but the method of cultivation is only available in the academy.
Gu Bai took them to her one by one, "Most of the books on enlightenment are here, but these books are enlightened alone, and it is difficult to enter the cultivation. ”
Actually, it's not very difficult, but it's quite difficult.
Gu Bai pointed at himself, "I'm graceful, handsome and chic, the jade tree is in the wind, peerless, it's rare, right?"
Bai Xiaobai was stunned.
She's seen thick-skinned ones, but she's never seen them so thick-skinned, and she's too ashamed to say it.
Gu Bai continued: "If you want to enlighten and enter the cultivation alone, it is almost the same as growing up like me. ”
Bai Xiaobai was surprised, "So difficult?"
Gu Bai nodded.
"Then my lord, do you understand these avenues?" asked Bai Xiaobai.
Gu Bai shook his head, "I don't need to." ”
Gu Bai was born in a businessman, so naturally he couldn't enter the academy.
As for enlightening the Tao alone and entering cultivation, Gu Bai had tried.
However, he could see all these scriptures, but they were useless.
Over time, Gu Bai still felt that copying books was more suitable for him.
"It's so hard?"
Bai Xiaobai scratched his head,
"Is there any other practice to choose from?"
"Yes. ”
Gu Bai also translated Buddhist classics such as "Diamond Sutra" and "Bright Sutra" to her.
Then, Gu Bai took the Taoist classics such as "Tao Te Ching" and "Nanhua Jing" and handed them to her.
"These scriptures are all there, but if you want to enter the practice, it's almost the same as Confucianism just now. ”
Bai Xiaobai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Also, is there anything else?"
"Anything else?" Gu Bai shook his head, "You won't need anything else." ”
There are roughly so many righteous ways to cultivate in the world, and the rest are some crooked and evil ways, or the cultivation of monsters and evil ghosts.
"How is it, are you still practicing?" Gu Bai looked at her.
Bai Xiaobai gritted his teeth, "Xiu!"
As soon as she made up her mind, a trace of shame quickly flashed on her face, "But, but I don't have so much silver on me." ”
These sets of books are worth a lot of money when bought.
"It doesn't matter. Gu Bai waved his hand.
As a businessman, the key is to learn to watch people put on their plates.
"How much silver do you have?" asked Gu Bai.
Bai Xiaobai took out a purse from his sleeve, and there were a few silver bills in the purse.
"Enough. Gu Bai brought the silver bill.
"Huh?"
Bai Xiaobai couldn't imagine that books were so cheap, so he immediately had to move them.
"Although you praise me for being handsome, the account must be settled. Gu Bai pulled her back.
In this world, all books are copied by hand, and there are not many literate people, and those who can copy books are equivalent to skilled workers.
Therefore, a book is expensive.
A few silver bills can buy a book, and if you want to take all the books with you, it's impossible.
"I mean, these books are rented to you, and you can go to the store every day and read them. ”
As for those silver bills, Gu Baiquan used them as the cost of renting books.
"Rent a book?"
Bai Xiaobai was stunned.
She thought for a moment, "It's okay, then I'll bother every day." ”
"Don't bother. Gu Bai carried the silver in his arms.
He is in business, as long as he has silver, he will definitely not bother, if he praises him for a few words of handsomeness, he is still very welcome.
Provided, of course, that is, not to harass him.
Now that the silver has been released, Bai Xiaobai is not polite.
She put the red oil-paper umbrella next to her, took a copy of the Analects, and sat down on the bookcase to read it.
The hook walked in at this point.
She carried a basket with the smell of fish coming out of it, and followed a few cats behind her.
Grandma Fish's stall is across the stone bridge.
Because there is a lot of water and fish heads left behind to make fish, she often feeds those things to the cats.
Over time, the stray cats on several streets were taken in by her.
Hook used to go to Grandma Yu to buy fish, and those cats were familiar with her, and often came to beg for fish to eat.
"Childe, your fish..."
Hook saw Bai Xiaobai sitting on the mat reading.
"Guests?" Hook was happy that they had finally opened today.
"Demon..."
Bai Xiaobai also saw the hook and almost blurted it out.
Fortunately, she thought in time that she was a monster, so she stopped.
Rao is like this, Bai Xiaobai still has palpitations, she has seen ugly things, but she has never seen such ugly ones.
"Yes, guest. ”
Gu Bai didn't care to say more, and reached out to take out the fish in the basket.
"Well, it's so fragrant. ”
Gu Bai took a deep breath, and his whole person was intoxicated.
Bai Xiaobai straightened her nose and secretly swallowed her saliva, but it was a pity that all her silver was taken away by Gu Bai.
Gu Bai and Hook are one person and one fish.
After using it, Gu Bai found a plate of fish heads and fish bones and put them at the door of the library.
When a few cats were playing outside the library, they immediately gathered around and ate the fish head.
Gu Bai touched them, stood up, looked through the river, smoke and rain, and looked at the stall of Grandma Yu opposite.
Grandma Yu's back is getting more and more bent.
