Chapter 13 Going up the mountain to guard the temple
When White Snake woke up, she found that she was already standing on the mountainside of a towering mountain. At first sight, she saw a seven-story-high boulder with three Chinese characters written in Chinese characters: Shenhua Mountain.
Huashan Mountain towers abruptly into the sky, breaking through thousands of peaks in the universe.
Thousands of peaks winding across the sky and the vast sky. I remember that in my previous life I had traveled to Mount Huashan on Earth, but this mountain was higher, bigger, more dangerous, and more beautiful than Mount Hua. White Snake knew that she had met an expert, so she was originally interested in being captured and guarded by someone.
I was still very resistant, but now it seems that I am pretty lucky. With a good support and a good life, even if an expert throws away unused things, this snake like me will benefit a lot.
The woman led her two young apprentices up the mountain talking and laughing, with White Snake following closely behind.
Along the way, even White Snake, who is highly myopic, knew how beautiful the scenery was.
Walking along the stone steps on the edge of the mountain cliff, you can see large and small waterfalls everywhere, clear lakes with fish swimming in them, steep cliffs reaching into the sky, rolling peaks, jagged mountain streams with strange rocks, layers of palaces in the mountains like heavenly palaces, and there are also mountains in the valleys.
The stone bridges and corridors connect each other, and there are green pines growing on the boulders or beside the waterfalls. The clouds and mist are lingering in the blue sea, and the breeze blows. The stone pavilion is looming in the sea of clouds. If you sit in the pavilion at this time and play the guzheng with a pot of sake, it will be really wonderful.
Fairyland.
He raised the snake's head and looked at the sky. The huge formation was slowly turning. It seemed strange that he had to fly up the mountain instead of walking back. The sky should be a restricted area for flying.
From time to time on the stone-stepped mountain road, you can meet old or young monks wearing white robes with blue patterns coming down the mountain. When they see a woman, they all bow and give way.
These monks looked very wealthy, their clothes were either silver or gold, and they had extraordinary swords. They gave me the impression that if I pinched these monks and twisted them hard, I could squeeze out two fistfuls of fat.
I heard a lot of information along the way.
This is Chunyang Palace. The girl’s name is Yu Rong, and she is the junior sister in charge of the palace. The little boy’s name is Yang Mu, and the younger girl’s name is Xu Ling. They are Yu Rong’s direct disciples. I heard that Yu Rong is the only one in Chunyang Palace.
Two disciples and countless people are trying to get in but it's impossible.
It seems that I have gained a big fortune...
Soon, they came to the huge ancient archway gate. A dozen gatekeepers made White Snake deeply nervous. The stone archway had three aura-filled characters written on it, "Chunyang Palace." For some reason, he discovered this place after walking into the gate.
The air is extremely fresh.
I followed the three people and walked around, passing by many squares where disciples practiced, passing by exquisite palaces, and walking through stone bridge corridors. After a long time, I came to a remote and quiet exquisite palace. The palace stood on the edge of a cliff, surrounded by the sea.
The ancient pines in Yunfu are vigorous.
Looking at the empty main hall with only three people, White Snake finally understood why he brought him back. He really wanted to ask him to help guard the door.
No matter what, it's always nice to have delicious snake soup without having to worry about turning it into a wallet or shoulder bag.
There is no need to kowtow to tea, and there are no rituals. If you catch a snake spirit and come back to look at the gate, you are not recruiting a disciple, so there is no need for any rituals.
"This hall will be your place of residence in the future. You should also pay attention to the nearby temple on the mountain. I have notified the dining room and the internal affairs office. You can go to the dining room to eat. Also, remember not to wander in at will, otherwise no one will
Save your life." Yu Rong said seriously.
White Snake nodded. It would be fine if he didn't.
Yu Rong was very satisfied to see that White Snake was so full of spirituality, and then, regardless of whether White Snake was there or not, he started to teach the two disciples how to practice.
White Snake simply pretended not to understand, and found a place in the main hall to coil up and eavesdrop.
The two disciples, Yang Mu, were not very friendly towards the white snake and would glare at each other at all times. The little girl Xu Ling was particularly naughty. From time to time, she would reach out and touch the scales of the white snake. Suddenly, she no longer had to worry about hunting or be wary of predators. It was a bit uncomfortable. It was very quiet and peaceful here.
Safety.
"Tao gives birth to one, gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things..."
The familiar sentence, White Snake only remembers that it seemed to have been heard in the past life. Although it seems simple, it is actually very profound. Outside the main hall, the crane spreads its wings and the clouds billow. Inside the main hall, a white snake steals the master openly and honestly...
…………
From then on, White Snake began his life of cultivation.
When I had nothing to do, I walked around the palace, scaring away the mice and mosquitoes, and then ran to the open space in front of the palace to watch Yu Rong's two disciples practice. In the morning, I went to the cliff to breathe out the clouds. When I had nothing to do, I just looked at the jade bottle placed on Yu Rong's tea table.
There are delicious elixirs inside, but they are not something a snake is qualified to eat.
After three days in a row, White Snake finally remembered what he should eat. He didn't need to practice, but he definitely couldn't stop eating. This was a sequelae of not eating enough when he was a child.
After leaving Yu Rong's palace, White Snake hung a jade pendant around her neck and swam to the dining room.
The jade pendant was obtained by Yu Rong. She was afraid that there would be a disciple in the palace who didn't know the details and killed the white snake with a sword. The white snake was very satisfied with this. It was better to be alive than to be killed.
As we swam across mountains, rivers, and small stone bridges, Snake vomited lightly and soon followed the smell to the dining room.
The dining room is very large and needs to feed everyone on the mountain. Practitioners don’t need to eat every day, but they have to take care of the food of ordinary low-level disciples and handymen on the mountain. It is very lively, a bit like a large canteen. Based on the size of the canteen, White Snake guesses that there are at least 100 people on the mountain.
Nearly ten thousand people.
Under the gaze of many people, White Snake meandered into the restaurant and saw a fat old man waving from a distance.
"This way, that snake comes this way~"
The white snake obeyed the arrangement and swam to the kitchen, where people watched again. After such an experience, you should know that there is an extra white snake on the mountain.
The fat uncle prepared a large wooden basin in the back kitchen. The basin was filled with animal bones that were not easy to handle and meat that was too fat.
Very good, fat is not a problem for snakes and it is nutritious.
Lowering his head, he easily swallowed all the food in the basin, and nodded to the fat uncle. The white snake turned around and walked back, leaving the fat uncle behind who was marveling at him. This was probably the first time in his life that he had fed a snake other than feeding a human being.
When passing by a stream, I put the snake's head into the water and washed it to remove the blood from the corners of my mouth.
Looking at the frightened crane flying up the tree next to it, White Snake thought it would be better not to eat the crane secretly for the time being. God knows who raised it, or at worst, it would secretly eat it in the middle of the night.
Climb back to Yu Rong's palace, sleep coiled on the boulder on the edge of the cliff, and guard the main hall? No one dares to steal from this place, okay? White Snake doesn't believe there is no formation around the main hall.
Under Yu Rong's family, Yang Mu is rigid and Xu Ling is naughty. The little girl is always restless. Ever since the arrival of the white snake, her eyes are shining brightly and she will play with the white snake whenever she has nothing to do. No, the white snake who had just fallen asleep heard someone coming over.
Opening his snake eyes, his short-sighted eyes finally saw that it was Yu Rong coming, but... something didn't seem right.
"White Snake! How can you be lazy! Go to work quickly!"
The 'Yu Rong' in front of me scolded the white snake.
White Snake Nobuko vomited a few times, then lazily lowered his head and continued to sleep.
"Oops! You found out again, it's not fun."
The illusion was removed and Xu Ling was revealed. This was just Xu Ling disguised as his master and came to tease White Snake. White Snake was startled from the beginning and soon discovered the flaw. The illusion was just to confuse the sight. Xu Ling and Yu Rong had different tastes. Snake Xinzi could easily
