Chapter 001: The Host of the Book of Heaven
Prologue
Since the beginning of heaven and earth, the heavens, the earth, and the underworld came into being, and after a long period of changes, the rudiments of the Three Realms have emerged, and after 100,000 years of development, the rules of the Three Realms have gradually matured, and the Three Realms have stabilized and existed independently, and they are constantly involved in each other, and they are dependent on each other.
The fairy world is high in the palm of the wind, thunder and lightning, Shi Yun Bu Yu, proficient in all kinds of strange powers, can backhand for the clouds to cover the hand for the rain bucket to turn the stars to move omnipotent, the fairy is spread in the world by people admired, bow and worship, pray for blessings and complaints, incense is prosperous.
The underworld is often called the underworld, controlling the life and death of mortals in the world, hooking the soul and asking for life, no one can be spared, and there are eighteen layers of hell and six reincarnations, adding a bit of bitterness, mortals are evil to death and love life, and the underworld ghosts are often far away.
Compared with the other two worlds, the human world is somewhat ordinary, and ordinary human beings are mostly powerless, so they are also called the mortal world. After seeing the strange powers of heaven and earth, people yearned for it, and they became more detached from life and death, and began to seek the way of immortality.
Cultivating the true cultivation of the Tao came into being, in the generation after generation of people devoted themselves to study, go forward and follow, carefully enlightened, after tens of thousands of years, there were finally amazing and brilliant people who attracted many catastrophes, but most of them died under the thunder of heaven and earth, but there are always one or two or lucky or Taoist exquisite, the merit and creation have survived all the heavenly tribulations, and with the colorful auspicious clouds soaring.
Just when people were pleasantly surprised to think that they could create miracles and go against the sky, they didn't know that the fate of all beings in the three worlds of heaven, earth and man was recorded in the three books.
No one knows what the Book of Heaven, the Book of the Earth, and the Book of Man look like, nor what form they exist, only a few rumors about the Book of Heaven.
Legend has it that the Book of Heaven would look for a host every once in a while, and all of the chosen ones would not live to be eighteen years old
In the early morning, there was no warm morning light outside the window, and the entire Changshou County was filled with heavy snow, and the goose-featherlike snowflakes fell, adding a bit of coldness.
"Cough, cough, cough"
Gu Feiyu, a twelve-year-old boy, was sitting at the desk weakly at the moment, holding a white handkerchief in one hand and coughing violently, and a little flush appeared on his face, showing a sickly weakness.
The other hand held a pen and had to stop the words he was writing, the words on the white rice paper were simple and smart, flowing and smooth, just a little more feminine.
He looked at the last slightly inclined stroke and shook his head slightly, his eyes were a little lost, but he quickly adjusted, pursed his lips and took out a piece of rice paper from the side, writing patiently, one after another.
Changshou County is a very vulgar name, often criticized by famous families in the county, it is said that this was once a longevity village, and then gradually more people became prosperous, and it became Changshou County.
No matter how others criticize it, Gu Feiyu likes this name very much, the word longevity is very vulgar but beautiful, and it is good for him to live one more day.
"Young master, you should practice for a morning and rest, otherwise your condition should worsen again. ”
It was Gu Feiyu's maid Xiaoyou who spoke, she was a very cute name, and she was a very cute girl, looking at the figure of coughing and writing hard, and said with concern.
Gu Feiyu stopped his pen and turned his head to look at her, smiled kindly, and said, "It's okay, I've persevered for so many years, and I've long been used to it." ”
With that, he dropped his gaze on the desk and continued to write.
Xiao You is seventeen years old this year, she has been responsible for serving Gu Feiyu since she entered the Gu family at the age of sixteen, although the young master seems to be very sick, it seems that taking care of the sick will be very hard, but Xiao You knows that he is the best young master of the Gu family.
Compared with other young masters and young ladies who are either beaten or scolded, it is really a blessing for him to be able to serve him, I have never seen him lose his temper in the past year, and he has never even said a heavy word.
Xiao You made a cup of hot tea and gently put it on the edge of the desk, standing beside him and looking at him like this every day, one word after another jumped on the paper, and the pen was sick, but it gave people a feeling of not being arrogant or impatient, and standing next to him could be infected.
is only twelve years old can be so sensible and hardworking, and looking at his sick and weak appearance, I really hope that he can be like the second young master, although he spends all day drinking, but he is not so hard after all.
Thinking about the disgusting appearance of the second young master who was teasing her yesterday, his heart became entangled again, and he secretly said in his heart, the young master is still so young and doesn't understand anything, but if he grows up, he wants to do something to himself
"Sister Xiaoyou, what are you thinking in a blur?" Gu Feiyu stopped at some point, looked at Xiao You who was in a fantasy beside him and asked.
"Ah?!" Xiao You was shocked in his heart, seeing that Gu Feiyu's eyes were looking at him seriously, his cheeks were hot, and he felt annoyed in his heart, how could he think of the young master's nonsense.
"No, I didn't think about anything, uh, what's the use of you writing these things every day, young master?" Xiao Youqiang hid the shyness in his heart, and casually found an excuse to change the topic.
Gu Feiyu slowly put down the pen in his hand, stood up from the chair, and walked to the window, looking at the snowflakes outside the window and the vast sky in the distance, a little distracted.
Xiao You stood almost close to his body, and his hands were symbolically supported, because he looked too weak, Xiao You felt more than once that even a little bit of wind could blow him to the ground.
Gu Feiyu stood there and looked at it for a long time, and suddenly said, "Cultivating the Tao first cultivates the heart, do you know the truth?"
"Xiuzhen?" Xiao You shook her head in confusion, she was just an ordinary maid, so naturally she would not come into contact with things at this level.
"Actually, I don't know what Xiuzhen is, my mother told me before she died, Xiuzhen is the only way to change your fate, it is a road against the sky, how much she wanted to see me embark on the road of Xiuzhen with her own eyes, change my life against the sky, but she was"
Gu Fei choked and stopped, his eyes were a little warm, some pain seemed to be mixed with some hatred, and he stubbornly pursed his lips to prevent himself from crying.
Xiao Youxiao's mouth opened slightly, and in the end he didn't know how to continue, he stretched out his arms and gently hugged him from behind, his heart trembled slightly, why did his body always carry some coldness.
Gu Feiyu gently snuggled in Xiao You's arms, with the same warmth, and said: "Since my mother died, you have taken care of me, this is my misfortune and my luck, thank you!"
This is my misfortune and my luck, Xiao You quietly hugged him, and suddenly thought of his despair when he was sold as a maid by his family, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, how can it not be Xiao You's luck to meet you
The snow gradually became lighter, and it was still falling, Gu Feiyu and Xiao You walked out of the door, watching Xiao You close the door and hold up an umbrella to cover the falling snowflakes, Gu Feiyu smiled slightly and said, "Let's go." ”
He knew that he wouldn't be able to live like this for a few years, if this was his fate, then he would start to change his life against the sky from now on, and the only way was to cultivate the truth.
Although he knew that maybe this trip would not lead to anything, he still couldn't help but want to go over and try it.
Walking all the way to see the familiar scenery in the courtyard, the snow-covered branches, the frozen lake, all this is so good, but unfortunately it is not suitable for him, and he can only have the opportunity to enjoy everything here if he can live.
Gu Feiyu and the two walked to a door and stopped, and Xiao You went up and knocked on the door.
"You wait here, I'll go in myself. ”
Gu Feiyu stood in front of the door and took a deep breath, and finally pushed open the door and walked in, he rarely came to this room, he had been here only a handful of times, and he could still recall the layout of the room with his previous memory.
There was a middle-aged man sitting at a large desk in the room, forty or fifty years old, seeing Gu Feiyu coming in, his face showed a hint of surprise, but there was no surprise, and he said lightly: "Third brother, seeing that you are weak and don't take care of your illness in the room, why did you come here?"
Gu Feiyu froze, thought about what he had thought about several times in his heart, and said, "Father, I heard that this year is the five-year day for the Yunzhou Xiuzhen Sect to accept disciples. ”
The middle-aged man's name was Gu Tian is Gu Feiyu's biological father, and he frowned at the moment and said, "That's right, why are you asking this?"
"I'm 12 years old, and I'm the only one who has the opportunity to enter the Xiuzhen sect, and my mother always hoped that I could change my life on the way to Xiuzhen, and I wanted to try. Gu Feiyu looked at his father who was sitting there, standing alone in the empty room and said.
Gu Tian's face sank, looked at this sick son, and said: "Hmph, what do women and Taoists know? You may be able to live a few more years if you stay in the room like this, you are soft and weak when you walk, and you still want to enter the cultivation sect? Even if you can go there, the trials along the way can toss you to death." ”
Gu Feiyu was worried, and said unwillingly: "But, father"
Gu Tian waved his hand impatiently and said, "It's nothing, this woman is really troublesome and won't let people live in peace, this matter is not negotiable, go back." ”
Gu Feiyu's eyes staring at the ground flashed with thick hatred, his clenched fists were a little white with excessive force, his tense body trembled slightly, and the corners of his mouth were filled with bitterness, his mother had died, why did he still say that.
He raised his head sharply and stared at Gu Tian, his eyes were unusually firm, and said: "I have to choose my own path, the Xiuzhen Sect only recruits disciples between nine and fifteen years old, and if I miss this year, I won't have a chance, I don't want to wait for death like this, I'm not reconciled!"
The weak voice sounded so sonorous and powerful, even Gu Tian, who was sitting at the desk, couldn't help but glance at him, sighed lightly, and said: "Third child, you have always been quite sensible, don't play with the temper of a child, don't you know your situation? You won't live for a few years at all, so don't waste another place." ”
Gu Tian's face softened, and he continued to persuade: "I have already decided to give it to your second brother, he was only nine years old last time he went to participate in the trial, with your quota this time, he will definitely be able to pass this time, can't you fulfill your brother, although you are not a mother, but you are also brothers." ”
