Chapter 7 Doubt
"That's all, let's make a contract." Gu Sheng walked around the yard, nodded to the people in the tooth shop.

The yard is nearly [-] square meters. After entering the gate, there are left and right wing rooms on both sides, and there is a main room, which is equivalent to a triple courtyard.

There is a kitchen, a horse stable, a building of blue bricks and tiles, the walls in the room are white, and the floor is covered with blue bricks.

Compared with the previous house with only one main house, two rooms and the kitchen are squeezed together, and the roof leaks and the windows leak air, it is much better.

The light area is several times larger.

The location is in Xing'an Square, and there are many wealthy households around.Across the street is Tainingfang, where the gentry and wealthy businessmen in the county are located. The law and order is quite good, and gangsters will not come here to cause trouble.

More importantly, no monsters cannibalize people around here.

"Master has good eyesight. Originally, this was a tea merchant's local house, and it was one of the best houses in this area. And you know the situation in the city now. This place is much safer than other places." The tooth man next to him He took out the contract with a smile.

A total of three months of rent, 600 Wen per month, and the Yaman's commission is 180 Wen.

After the contract was signed, Yaren said goodbye and left.

"My lord, will you live here from now on? The slave's house will tidy up this place first, but there are still a lot of things that need to be bought." Yan Ruyu, who walked around several rooms, said excitedly.

"You pack up first, I'll go back and bring the things here, and we'll go shopping together in the afternoon." Gu Sheng laughed.

Moving here, it will be much more convenient for Yan Ruyu to go out, and she doesn't have to worry about being watched.

But 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 disasters.

I rented a carriage and went back, took away those books, clothes, pots and pans, and left everything else alone.

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

"The Taoist priest of Qingyun Temple is here!"

"The Taoist priest of Qingyun Temple is here!"

The crowd around suddenly went into an uproar.

"The Taoist priest of Qingyun Temple is finally here."

"Great, finally someone is here."

"Hurry up and take that monster away, many people have died these days."

The monster caused chaos in Qingyang County for eight days, and about 50 to [-] people died. The death is not too many, but the whole county was panicked, and no one knew when it would die.

"Qingyun Temple..." Gu Sheng's heart moved. In his memory, Qingyun Temple was very famous. If any strange things happened in the two surrounding counties, they would ask Qingyun Temple to deal with it.

"This Qingyun Temple should have some strength." Gu Sheng pondered, after the cat-faced monster incident this time, he must pay a visit to Qingyun Temple.

It is best to find a way to look at Qingyun Temple's collection of books.

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

Not long after, the carriage stopped by the side of the road, Gu Sheng looked through the window and saw two yamen servants opening the way ahead, and three Taoists walking behind.

One old and two young, all dressed in ordinary blue Taoist robes, with swords and burdens on their backs.

There were pedestrians on both sides of the road. When they saw the three Taoist priests, someone immediately shouted:

"Daozhang, hurry up and take that monster away."

"Daozhang, you are finally here!"

"Daozhang, it's all up to you."

"Pimpedao will do his best." The old Taoist priest in the lead nodded to everyone and said with a gentle smile.

The two young Taoist priests behind raised their heads proudly.

After a few Taoists passed by, the carriage moved on again, and when it arrived at the new house, it began to tidy up.

In the afternoon, the two went out to buy again, including new quilts, white rice and vegetables. Gu Sheng also bought a bird-shaped water filter oil lamp that Gu Sheng had been thinking about.

The oil lamp alone cost him two taels of silver.

……

"Tao can be Tao, very Tao... Or is it Tao, can be Tao, very Tao?" Gu Sheng pondered in his heart with the "Tao Te Ching".

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

The question now is, how to interpret this book?
For well-known reasons, ancient books did not have punctuation marks, so a single sentence can interpret countless meanings.

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

Feeling tired, she raised her head and looked out the window. She could see Yan Ruyu wearing her old clothes, busy in the yard, and a few chicks running around there.

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

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

After Yan Ruyu finished her work, she sat aside and picked up a book, "My lord, can I read it?"

"Can you still read?" Gu Sheng asked.

"Of course I do."

Gu Sheng nodded, thoughtfully.

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

I don't know what state she is now, is she a person or what?
If she died, would she still exist?
Turning around in his mind, Gu Sheng withdrew his thoughts and continued reading.

More than 5000 words, from the afternoon to the middle of the night, Yan Ruyu yawned several times, and Gu Sheng just finished turning the last page.

However, there is nothing on the desktop.

Gu Sheng was slightly taken aback, then closed the book and put it on the table.

I also have great expectations for this "Tao Te Ching", after all, this is one of the most important classics, but after reading it, I got nothing.

It was the first time this happened.

Is my interpretation wrong or some other reason?
But are the previous interpretations of "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "Book of Filial Piety" correct?

What is the standard for objects to appear after reading?What is currently known is to study every word and sentence carefully and understand what is said in the book.

Are there other standards?
Gu Sheng thought about it for a while, but there was no result, so he put it down in advance, and re-read it tomorrow.

Get up and say:
"have a rest."

Yan Ruyu stepped forward to help him take off his coat, then ran outside in a hurry, stuck her head in with a smile on her face: "My lord, there is a vacant room now, I will sleep in that room!"

His eyes were like lake water, and he said charmingly: "Of course, if you want to come, you can do it."

Gu Sheng pulled the corner of his mouth.

This little fox.

Wasn't it you who occupied my couch every day before?Now this again?

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

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

……

While Gu Sheng was half asleep and half awake, something suddenly flashed through his mind, and he sat up from the bed at once.

"No! In my previous life, I unearthed the "Tao Te Ching" silk script. The content is somewhat different from what has been handed down, and even the meaning expressed is different."

"This "Tao Te Ching" was revised by later generations."

Soon Gu Sheng himself overturned this idea: "That's not right, how many books have been handed down that haven't been revised? There are still ten taels of silver for other books."

"There must be other reasons."

Pushing open the window, the sun has risen more than half, and the sun is shining on the body, making me feel comfortable.

"Muscles... seem to have gotten bigger again." Gu Sheng looked down at himself, arched his arms for a look, then stretched out his hand to grab the desk and lifted it up very easily.

"Sure enough, the strength has increased again, and the muscle outline has become more obvious."

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

"This nine-year-old cicada... is indeed a miracle. It took me only two days to transform myself from a weak and weak scholar into a normal person's physique. At least it saved me several months of recuperating my body."

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

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