"That's it, let's make a contract." Gu Sheng walked around the courtyard and nodded to the people in the tooth shop.

The courtyard is almost 200 square meters, after the gate enters, there are left and right wings on both sides, and there is a main house, which is equivalent to a triple courtyard.

There is a kitchen, there is a horse fence, a building of blue bricks and tiles, the walls of the room are snow-white, and the floor is covered with green bricks.

Compared to the previous house, which only had one main room, the two rooms and the kitchen were crammed together, and the roof was leaking rain and the windows were leaking.

The area alone is several times larger.

The location is in Xing'an Fang, and there are many wealthy families around. Across the street is Taining Fang, where the gentry and wealthy merchants in the county town are located, and the security is quite good, and the gangs will not come here to cause trouble.

What's more, there are no monsters eating people in this vicinity.

"Xiang Gong has good eyesight, originally this is a tea merchant's house in the local area, and it is one of the best houses in this area. And you know the situation in the city now, it's much safer here than in other places. The tooth man next to him smiled and took out the contract.

It is rented for a total of three months, 600 wen per month, and the commission of the tooth person is 180 wen.

After the contract was signed, the tooth man said goodbye and left.

"Childe, will you live here in the future? The slave family will clean up this place first, but there are still a lot of things that need to be purchased. Yan Ruyu, who had been around a few rooms, rushed happily.

"You pack up first, I'll go back and move the things, and we will go shopping together in the afternoon." Gu Sheng said with a smile.

Moving here, it is much more convenient for Yan Ruyu to go out, and she doesn't have to be afraid of being targeted all the time.

However, you still have to cover your face when you go out.

Many things in ancient and modern China and abroad have proved that beautiful women are all disasters.

I rented a carriage and went back, and I took the books, clothes, pots and pans, and everything else.

When he went back, Gu Sheng was sitting in the carriage and heard someone shouting while running.

"The Taoist of Qingyun Temple is here!"

"The Taoist of Qingyun Temple is here!"

The crowd around was in an uproar.

"The Taoist of Qingyun Temple is finally here."

"Great, it's finally here."

"Hurry up and take that monster, a lot of people have died these days."

The monster had been in trouble in Qingyang County for eight days, and about forty or fifty people died, not many dead, but the whole county town was panicked, and no one knew when he lost his life.

"Qingyunguan......" Gu Sheng's heart moved, in his memory, this Qingyunguan was very famous, and if anything strange happened in the surrounding two counties, he would ask Qingyunguan to deal with it.

"This Qingyun View should have some strength." Gu Sheng pondered, after this cat-faced monster incident passed, he must go to Qingyunguan to visit.

It's best to find a way to take a look at Qingyunguan's collection of books.

Since there are monsters in this world, human beings must have corresponding powers.

Not long after, the carriage stopped on the side of the road, and Gu Sheng saw two officials opening the road in front and three Taoists walking behind through the window.

One old and two young, dressed in an ordinary cyan robe, carrying a sword and a burden on his back.

There were pedestrians on both sides of the road, and when they saw these three Taoist priests, someone immediately shouted:

"Dao Chief, hurry up and catch that monster."

"Dao Chief, you're finally here!"

"Dao Chief, it's all up to you."

"Poor Dao does his best." The old Taoist priest nodded at everyone and smiled gently.

The two young Taoist priests in the back raised their heads with proud expressions.

After a few Taoist people passed, the carriage moved forward again, and when it arrived at the new house, it began to clean up.

In the afternoon, the two went out to buy again, including new bedding, white rice and vegetables, and Gu Sheng also bought a bird-shaped water filter lamp that he had in mind.

The oil lamp alone cost him two taels of silver.

……

"It's very good, it's very good...... Or is it a way, a way, a very way? Gu Sheng took the Tao Te Ching and pondered in his heart.

He didn't know what the difference was between this "Tao Te Ching" and the one in his previous life, but he had heard the opening sentence even if he hadn't read it.

Now the question is, how to interpret this book?

For a well-known reason, ancient books were not punctuated, so a sentence can be interpreted with a myriad of meanings.

"Forget it, read it first." Gu Sheng threw his thoughts aside and continued to read, pausing for a moment to think quietly.

Feeling tired, he looked up and looked out of the window, and could see Yan Ruyu wearing her old clothes, busy in the yard, and a few chicks running around.

Yan Ruyu squatted down from time to time to tease the chicken cubs, and then let out a series of laughs.

After dark, Gu Sheng asked Yan Ruyu to close the doors and windows, and Gu Sheng continued to read by candlelight.

Yan Ruyu finished being busy, so she sat aside and picked up a book, "Childe, can I read it?" ”

"Do you still know how to read?" Gu Sheng asked.

"Of course I do."

Gu Sheng nodded, thoughtful.

Yan Ruyu remembers where she came from, what her name is, she knows how to read, and she knows common sense, but she has forgotten everything about her hometown.

I don't know what state she is in now, is she human or what?

If she died, would she still exist?

After a turn in his mind, Gu Sheng retracted his mind and continued to read.

More than 5,000 words, he saw from the afternoon that in the middle of the night, Yan Ruyu yawned several times on the side, and Gu Sheng finished turning the last page.

And yet there was nothing on the table.

Gu Sheng was slightly stunned, and put the book together on the table.

I still have great expectations for this "Tao Te Ching", after all, this is one of the most important classics, but after reading it, I didn't gain anything.

It's the first time this has happened.

Is it because I didn't read it right, or is it something else?

But the previous "The Mean" and "The Book of Filial Piety" were interpreted correctly?

What is the standard for the manifestation of objects after reading? All that is known is to read every word carefully and understand what the book says.

Are there any other criteria?

Gu Sheng thought for a moment to no avail, put this down in advance, and reread it again tomorrow.

Get up and say:

"Rest."

Yan Ruyu stepped forward to help him take off his coat, then ran outside with a cigarette, and put his head in with a smile on his face: "Childe, there is a vacant room now, I will sleep in that room!" ”

His eyes were like a lake, and he said charmingly: "Of course, if the son wants to come, it's okay." ”

Gu Sheng pulled the corners of his mouth.

This little vixen.

Wasn't you the one who occupied my couch every day? And now again?

But he didn't want to do anything, he waved his hand casually, indicating that you can get out.

Yan Ruyu closed the door, and a series of laughter like silver bells sounded outside the door.

……

Gu Sheng was half-asleep and half-awake, and something suddenly flashed in his mind, and the whole person sat up from the bed.

"That's not right! In his previous life, he later excavated the silk book of the Tao Te Ching, and the content was somewhat different from the one that had been handed down, and even the meaning of the expression was not the same. ”

"This Tao Te Ching has been revised by later generations."

Soon Gu Sheng himself overturned this idea: "It's not right, how many books have been handed down that haven't been changed?" The other books are worth ten taels of silver. ”

"There must be other reasons."

When I opened the window, the sun had risen more than halfway, and the sun was shining on my body and I was comfortable.

"Muscle...... It seems to be a big circle again. Gu Sheng looked down at himself, arched his arm to look at it, and then reached out to grab the desk and lifted it, and lifted it very easily.

"Sure enough, the strength is a little bigger, and the muscle contours are a little more obvious."

"Now my strength is no worse than that of people who work all year round, but it is still worse than the body that I exercised all year round in my previous life."

"This nine-year-old cicada...... It is worthy of a strange thing, and in just two days, he changed himself from a weak hemp scholar to a normal person's physique, at least saving himself a few months of time to recuperate his body. ”

"And after changing the body for the first time, the body is still slowly changing, and it is estimated that there is still a lot of medicinal energy stored in the body."

"My current body should meet the basic requirements, and I can go directly to the martial arts hall to study......
