0119, The Legend of the White Snake (10) (aka: The End of the White Snake Story)(1/2)
"White Snake touched Xu Xuan's heart, and there was still a hint of heat. She knew that the matter was so far, tears could not solve the problem, so she said, "Xiaoqing, you should take good care of the officials at home and protect his body. The herbs in the mortal world cannot be saved. I went to Kunlun Mountain next to Yaochi to steal the fairy grass to get the officials back to life!"
"Xiaoqing heard from Snake Bai talk about going to Yaochi to celebrate the birthday of Queen Mother, but she still reminded her: 'Sister, you must be careful!'
"White Snake thought about it, and didn't know where to get an oil lamp, lit it, put it on the foot of the bed, and said seriously to Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, Kunlun Mountain is not as good as Yaochi. It may be very dangerous to steal the fairy grass here. I have tied my soul to this oil lamp. If the oil lamp does not go out, I will be able to come back alive!
"'If the oil lamp goes out, it means I have died. You can bury the official for a long time, and then go back to the cave where you practiced before and continue practicing, and then come out after the martial arts are completed in the future! I think it is not that simple for the official to come back with realgar wine. You must remember that you must investigate after your cultivation is successful. I don't want you to die innocently because your cultivation is too low!'
"After that, the White Snake stomped his feet, then drove a white cloud, floated out of the window, and headed towards Kunlun Mountain without hesitation.
"During the period from the time Bai Snake left and came back, Xiaoqing was trembling. She felt that what Bai Snake said might be that someone wanted to harm Xu Xuan, or even harm Bai Snake. So after Bai Snake left, she closed all the doors and windows of the house, fearing that Bai Snake's natal soul lamp would be blown out, and she did not dare to leave Xu Xuan for a moment. She even held an oil pot in her hand, staring at the flashing oil lamp with her eyes.
"Although Lin'an City is very, very far from Kunlun Mountain, it didn't take long for Bai Snake, who had been practicing for thousands of years. She flew and flew to Kunlun Mountain soon.
"Kunlun Mountain is also a fairy mountain. The mountain is full of fairy trees and flowers. It is close to Yaochi. There is a dark passage where you can directly enter Yaochi. There are heavy troops guarding it at the end of Yaochi. On the top of Kunlun Mountain, there are a few purple grasses, which are fairy grasses that can bring about death, that is, Ganoderma lucidum. However, it is not Ganoderma lucidum in the human world, but Ganoderma lucidum in the fairy world. Any one of them has been more than a thousand years.
"After White Snake flew to the top of Kunlun Mountain, she took advantage of the white crane guarding the Ganoderma lucidum grass turning around, and quietly picked a piece in her mouth. She was really ready to fly the white clouds and fly away. Unexpectedly, the white crane sensed the moment the Ganoderma lucidum grass was picked. Only a 'crack' sound came from the air, and White Snake saw the white crane guarding the Ganoderma lucidum grass flying towards her.
"When the white crane saw that the white crane picked a Ganoderma lucidum grass, he was not willing to let her go, so he spread his big wings and stretched out his long beak to peck at the white crane.
"Although White Snake was afraid of the realgar wine, she, with a thousand years of cultivation, easily defeated the white crane.
"Who would have thought that the white crane was defeated, but another old man with white beard came......"
The old storyteller was talking, and at a critical moment, he actually picked up the teacup and started drinking it.
Nannan didn't hear the point of the story. She was thinking about the Ganoderma lucidum herb. At this time, she saw that the old storyteller started drinking tea again, so she asked curiously: "Ah, is that Ganoderma lucidum fairy grass delicious? I wonder if I have the chance to eat it..."
After saying that, he wiped his saliva with envy and took another bite of the candied haws.
He's just a cute foodie...
Nannan's questions and actions attracted a group of speechless rolling eyes, but they all knew that Nannan was a little nine-tailed fox. Not long after she had transformed, her mind must have not grown up yet, so they didn't talk about her.
Qingying took pictures of his own small mountain peak and said with some gratitude: "Fortunately, White Snake also knew that he could go to Kunlun Mountain to steal Ganoderma lucidum grass to save Xu Xuan, otherwise Xu Xuan would have died in vain."
Su Xiaoxiao also said with some gratitude: "Even some rare treasures in the world may be protected by monsters, let alone the Ganoderma lucidum fairy grass in Kunlun Mountain. Fortunately, White Snake had eaten the little dumpling golden elixir, otherwise she would be miserable. After all, everyone knows that cranes are the natural enemy of snakes. Fortunately, White Snake defeated the white crane, but she doesn't know who the old man appeared behind it."
Yaya thought for a while and exclaimed: "When White Snake went to Yaochi before, she saw an old man with white beards? Isn't she meeting this time the Antarctic Immortal Man she had seen last time?"
Ye Hua didn't think much about it. The old storyteller now is similar to the story of the white snake that he heard in the world before. Moreover, the legend of the white snake is still a story and has no intersection with him now. He just thought it was just to know more information about the world.
However, the Kunlun Mountain here actually exists, and it is adjacent to Yaochi, and there is also a secret passage entering the Yaochi. It seems very mysterious. I don’t know if Yang Mengyan, who comes from Kunlun Sect, knows it, and I don’t know if the Kunlun Sect is on Kunlun Mountain.
However, from the old man's opinion, Kunlun Mountain is very far away from Lin'an City, and I don't know when I will have the opportunity to see the mysterious Kunlun Mountain. It seems that when I have the chance in the future, I must visit the Kunlun Sect...
The old storyteller looked at Yaya, smiled, then put down the teacup, and said:
"This little girl is so smart. The old man with white beard is the Antarctic Immortal whom Bai Snake had met when he attended the Queen Mother's birthday party in Yaochi.
"Although White Snake defeated the White Crane, it did not hurt its life. Because she was kind by nature, she came here just to find the Ganoderma lucidum herb. She saw an old man with white beard standing in front of her. It turned out to be the Antarctic Immortal. She knelt on the top of the cold Kunlun Mountain, begged hard, and cried to the Antarctic Immortal, tell me her grievances: "Old Immortal, Old Immortal, give me a Ganoderma lucidum herb and save my official."
"The Antarctic Immortal Old Man stroked his white beard and looked at Bai Snake with a complicated expression. He sighed a few times, and expressed his compassion. He nodded and agreed. In the end, he also gave Bai Snake a Ganoderma lucidum fairy grass.
"Snake Bai was ecstatic and kowtowed respectfully for a few times. Then, holding the Ganoderma lucidum grass, hurriedly drove the white clouds and rushed to the house.
"After returning home, Bai Snake saw that Xiaoqing had already broken out of dark circles and leaned against the head of the bed with a tired face. Her heart was both moved and sour.
"Xiaoqing saw White Snake and the Ganoderma lucidum fairy grass in White Snake's mouth, and knew that she had succeeded. She was very happy and told me about the past few days.
"It turns out that Xiaoqing hasn't closed her eyes for several days, and Baohetang Pharmacy has not opened for several days. Occasionally, someone comes to their place to check out. Seeing that the doors and windows are closed, he doesn't disturb him. However, Xiaoqing still feels that some people seem to often peep at night.
"However, White Snake doesn't think about these things for the time being. She just wants to save Xu Xuan as soon as possible, so she quickly chewed the Ganoderma lucidum herbs and poured it into Xu Xuan's mouth. She injected the immortal power into Xu Xuan to help him absorb the Ganoderma lucidum herbs quickly.
"Sure enough, not long after, in just one cup of tea, Xu Xuan gradually opened his eyes, and the three souls and seven spirits returned to his body again. Although Xu Xuan's body was still very weak, he finally came alive, no different from a normal person. Moreover, the Ganoderma lucidum fairy grass is worthy of being an immortal grass, which quickly restored Xu Xuan's physical strength.
"Who would have thought that after Xu Xuan woke up and saw White Snake, he looked left, right, looked again, looked again, looked again, looked again, and looked after for a long time. He was still very scared, so he quickly got up, then turned around and ran to the pharmacy, and he refused to go out to see the White Snake again for several days.
"One day, two days, three days, three days, three nights, Xu Xuan didn't dare to step out of the pharmacy. It was not until the third night that Bai Snake and Xiaoqing came to the pharmacy together to ask him: "Officiale, why don't you go home for three days and three nights?"
"Although Xu Xuan has not returned home these three days, Xiaoqing and Bai Snake have also delivered food to Xu Xuan. Moreover, they also knew that Xu Xuan might still be in lingering fears now, so they decided to give him some time.
"Then Xu Xuan didn't know how to answer, so he evaded and stammered: 'My wife, the store is doing well and has not opened for several days. I'm so busy with settlement now!'
"Xiaoqing heard Xu Xuan's words and looked at the things in Xu Xuan's hand again. She couldn't help but smile and asked, 'Brother-in-law, what are you doing? Come and see, what are you holding in your hand?"
"Xu Xuan quickly looked at his hand. It turned out that he was panicked for a moment and took an old calendar in his hand. He knew that he could not be able to rely on it anymore, so he had to express his inner thoughts, that is, he knew that White Snake was a White Snake.
"When Snake heard this, she frowned and asked, "Official, I am a good person, how could I become a white snake? You must be confused by your mistake!"
"Xiaoqing interrupted from the side and said, "Brother-in-law is not wrong, I saw it too! That day, when I bought a ball of thread, I heard my brother-in-law shouting. When I rushed into the room, I saw my brother-in-law fainting on the ground. I saw a white shining thing, like a snake, or a dragon, flying up from the bed, then flying out of the window and disappearing."
"White Snake heard this and smiled and said, "Oh, so that's it! I think it's Canglong's current situation, which is just right for our Baohetang Pharmacy to be prosperous; and I am pregnant again, and there is the meaning of adding a child to a grandchild. Unfortunately, I was already asleep at that time, otherwise I would have to light an incense and candle to worship it!"
"When Xu Xuan heard that Bai Snake and Xiaoqing were talking seriously, he thought about it carefully and felt that it seemed that was the case, and the doubts in his heart were all resolved at once!
"Since then, Xu Xuan and Bai Snake have also let go of their past grudges. In addition, Bai Snake is pregnant, Xu Xuan has also taken care of Bai Snake even more."
The old storyteller picked up the teacup again, looked at the people in front of him, and then started drinking slowly.
"Wow, the Ganoderma lucidum is indeed a good thing. I really want to taste it!" Nannan was still only concerned about what she had eaten. She sighed again and continued to eat candied haws.
"The Antarctic Immortal Old Man is quite good to Snake Bai, but he actually asked Snake Bai to bring back a Ganoderma lucidum grass to save Xu Xuan's life!" Qingying also sighed and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "But did he see something? Is it because of Snake Bai's identity and background? Or is it because he saw that Snake Bai would encounter something else?"
Su Xiaoxiao followed closely and said, "Now Xu Xuan has saved him, and Snake Bai has also solved Xu Xuan's doubts with Xiaoqing. They should be fine, right? Is that turtle Fahai still trying to harm Snake Bai?"
Yaya thought for a while and said, "What kind of identity and background does White Snake have? The turtle Fahai must not know... But even if he knows, he may not care, right? Because he came from the West Heaven after all... The West Heaven and the gods in the Heaven Realm are not one, right? There may be a fight between them, right? Just like the Great Chu and the Northern Barbarians on earth?"
The old man said that the Antarctic Immortal Annihilation was looking at the white snake with a complicated look. Since the Antarctic Immortal Annihilation Immortal Annihilation Immortal Annihilation Immortal Herb, he would definitely agree to give the White Snake Ganoderma lucidum, but it seems not that simple...
Could it be that the Antarctic Immortal Man knows what might happen behind the white snake?
Baishe and Xiaoqing now made Xu Xuan no longer suspicious of snakes. What else would she encounter?
The subsequent Xu Xuan became a monk? Then the white snake water flooded the Jinshan Mountain?
Is this a matter between the White Snake and Fahai?
Or is it a war between the orthodox heaven and the west?
But... Isn't Guanyin also from the West? Why did she ask for advice on the white snake before?
Wait, what Guanyin seems to be saying is that there is another thing in the world that needs a white snake to repay its kindness before it can completely ascend to heaven!
Could it be that the White Snake and Xu Xuan met, which was actually a conspiracy?
Moreover, did Xu Xuan’s previous affairs in heaven have been reincarnated and descended to earth by others’ plans to protect the White Snake?
It seems that this matter is not simple. The West is determined to disrupt the heavens...
But I don’t know if this storyteller is telling a story or a real thing...
The main reason is that the old man's conversation was too real...
The old storyteller put down the teacup, looked at Ye Hua and others, and said:
"By the way, Xu Xuan saved himself and let down his past grudges with Bai Snake, they did the same thing as before. Bai Snake prescribed for medical treatment and Xu Xuan's medicine formula gave Baohetang Pharmacy a better reputation in Zhenjiang City.
"After all, it is free to see a doctor for the poor people. Xu Xuan and Bai Snake are becoming more and more popular among the people, but it also makes the monk Fahai of Jinshan Temple angry, and the incense in Jinshan Temple is not as strong as before.
"So, Monk Fahai went to Baohetang Pharmacy again. However, when he saw White Snake in the pharmacy, he didn't dare to go in directly. He kept waiting. When White Snake left the pharmacy and the pharmacy seemed to be about to close, Monk Fahai knocked on the wooden fish and then walked into the pharmacy in a big way.
"Then monk Fahai walked into the pharmacy and slapped Xu Xuan and said, "Donor, your business in this store is so prosperous. Make me a fuss."
"Xu Xuan was stunned for a moment and asked what fate did the monk Fahai have to transform into.
"Monkey Fahai said that on July 15th, Jinshan Temple will hold a Ullambana meeting. Please ask Xu Xuan to make a good relationship. Then go to Jinshan Temple to burn incense sticks and ask the Bodhisattva to bless Xu Xuanduo for blessings and longevity and peace all year round.
"When Xu Xuan heard that Monk Fahai said it well, he gave him a string of copper coins and wrote down his name on the begging sheet.
"Monkey Fahai clasped his hands together again, thanked him a little, and then walked towards the door. However, he had just walked to the door and turned back to Xu Xuan and said, "On July 15th, donor, you must come!"
"Xu Xuan smiled affirmatively and nodded, and then sent the monk Fahai to leave.
"Time flies in a flash, and the days pass by quickly. July 15th is coming. The White Snake is already four or five months pregnant. On this day, Xu Xuan got up early, changed into clean clothes, and then said to the White Snake: "Madam, today the Jinshan Temple is going to have a Ullambana party. Why don't we go to burn incense together, okay?"
"Snake White shook his head and replied, "Official, now I am pregnant, I really can't climb the mountain. You can go by yourself, but you have to remember to come back early after burning incense!"
"Xu Xuan nodded, then went out alone, and then went to Jinshan Temple.
"The monk Fahai had already been waiting for Xu Xuan's arrival. When he saw Xu Xuan stepping into the temple gate, he immediately pulled Xu Xuan into the meditation room. Then he said to Xu Xuan: "Donor, you are here just right. Today I will tell you honestly that your wife is a monster when she gets up!"
"When Xu Xuan heard this, he was immediately angry and said dissatisfiedly: 'You monk, I came to burn incense with great angrily, but you said such words. My wife is a very good person, how could she be a monster? Don't talk nonsense!'
"The monk Fahai smiled with a false compassion and said, "This is not a mistake for the donor. Your heart has long been fascinated by that fairy! Only the old monk can see that she was actually transformed by a white snake. It doesn't matter if the donor didn't know it before. Now he knows it, let's leave the white snake!"
"That Monk Fahai said this, and Xu Xuan remembered that the Dragon Boat Festival was coming. He was stunned. Seeing Xu Xuan stunned, Monk Fahai suddenly understood that Xu Xuan might also know some other inside information, so he struck while the iron was hot and continued to persuade: 'Donor, don't go home, beg me as a master. With my Buddhist protection, you don't have to be afraid that she will harm you!"
The old storyteller said, picked up the teacup and started drinking it.
Nannan gritted her teeth and said, "Ah, Xu Xuan actually went to see the turtle Fahai again, and ran to the turtle Fahai's nest alone. What a big fool!"
Qingying thought for a while and sighed, "Hey, Xu Xuan is a human being after all. He doesn't understand the dangers of the world. He can only say that his experience has always been smooth sailing. Having a woman as beautiful as a fairy, marrying him may make him happy and stupid."
"Yes, if Snake Bai and Xu Xuan could talk openly, maybe these things wouldn't be there." Su Xiaoxiao nodded, thought for a while, but didn't know if he thought of himself, and said with a complicated expression, "However, if Snake Bai had told Xu Xuan that he was a white snake before, then Xu Xuan might not be with Snake Bai..."
Then, she smiled, looked at Ye Hua, and said, "Fortunately, Ye Lang knew about me and did not leave me. I feel so happy!"
"Miss Xiao has been waiting for the master for so long. If he refuses to accept you, then I will accept you!" Yaya took Su Xiaoxiao's hand and said with a smile.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled again and nodded.
Qingying and Nannan looked at Ye Hua together, then grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's hand and smiled.
After pausing, Yaya thought about Xu Xuan going to Jinshan Temple again and said in a little depressed manner: "I don't know what Xu Xuan would react after hearing what the turtle Fahai said. After all, he did see the White Snake turning into a snake before..."
To be continued...
