The initial draft of "White Snake", and the announcement of the revision of the full text
Everyone welcomes you, please remember the address of this site:, so that you can read the latest chapter of "The Legend of Clouds" at any time...
After a long time of confusion and repeated consideration, I finally decided to pause the update and modify the full text first. The reason for this is that it must be because of three reasons: 1. I want to increase Bai Suzhen's role. 2. I want to adjust the rhythm of some story units to make the story more relaxed and more interesting and beautiful. 3. I want to adjust Xu Xian's series of experiences in the Jin Kingdom to the front. Both 1 and 2 can be modified after the full text ends, but 3 cannot.
I have also thought that it is better to go over some units that you want to add and modify, and follow the main line to serialize and then modify them all. But first, if I make up my mind to mention 3 to the front, it will inevitably change the story structure after "Xiongkulu". When the full text is completed and then modify it, it will be really hurt and it will be too painful. Secondly, this will be too unfair to friends who read the serialized network. The whole story will inevitably have major shortcomings, and even some breakages and unclear feelings.
This is really a very difficult and painful decision, but it is definitely not a willful decision. "The Legend of Clouds" is a work that I personally devoted a lot of effort and ambition. I hope it can surpass the magnificent work of the "Wild" series. I hope it can be read and loved by readers in 10, 20 years, or even 100 years later. I must make my creation worthy of myself, you, and Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen. I believe that you, like me, also want to see a wild fox under the tree who is serious about myself and strives to be perfect.
In the more than a year since I came to the creation world, there were too many friends who moved me and too many moments that moved me. Brothers and sisters of the Shenmen, your tolerance and support for me will always be in my heart. A good work not only belongs to the author, but also to all readers who grew up with the work. It has left all our marks. Please believe in my cherishing of the four words "Wild Fox under the Tree" and support me as always. Please allow me to "willful" update for 1-2 months, adjust the full text well, and then enter a more perfect, more reasonable and more magnificent world of the Great Song Dynasty.
Bow deeply...
Finally, I will attach the first draft of "White Snake" in 2003. This is one of the many beginnings and story outlines I deleted. For you to smile.
"White Snake"
wedge
My name is Xu Xian.
The reason I call this name is because my father’s surname is Xu, and I want to be a god.
There were quite a lot of people who wanted to be gods back then. Even the Emperor Wansui thought of ascension in the daytime, refining elixirs and taking medicine every day, and often invited Taoist priests from the Three Mountains and Five Mountains to set up temples in the palace to pray for fasting, worship and worship.
By acting on the top and becoming the bottom, cultivating immortals and gaining enlightenment naturally became the most popular fashion in the Song Dynasty.
The name is a symbol of an era. Therefore, eight out of ten people in Lin'an City have been renamed, either "Chengxian" or "Youdao", or women also have to name a few "Xiao and So Yuanjun", just like "Zhang Jianguo" and "Wang Jiefang" everywhere in Hangzhou City eight hundred years later.
At that time, there were many Taoist temples inside and outside Lin'an City, and the incense was abundant. The Taoist priests with high crowns and mysterious clothes were all over the city. Every family offered a book called "The True Book of Morality" and "The Daozang of Wanshou" by the Emperor, and its popularity was no less than that of the Red Book eight hundred years later.
Of course, these are things I only knew after becoming an immortal.
Before becoming an immortal, I was just Xu Xuan, the only son of Xu Dajun, who was outside the Lin'an Prefecture. The "Renji Hall" opened by my ancestors was the most famous pharmacy in Hangzhou, with all kinds of rare medicinal materials in the world. There is a famous saying in Hangzhou City, "Kunlun is far away in the sky, and Renji is near in front of us", which refers to our shop.
Since I was a child, I didn’t know how many kilograms of ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflorum... but I was still weak and sickly, and I was skinny. Once when I was flying a kite, I was almost dragged into the clouds by a kite.
When I was eight years old, a passing Taoist priest saw me playing at the door of the house. His body suddenly shook violently and his light shot out. He knelt down at me without saying a word. He knocked seventeen or eighteen times in a row, saying that my fairy style is so precious that it must be the Marshal Tianpeng of Beidou Jiuchen descended to earth.
I thought to myself that Marshal Tianpeng was not Zhu Bajie? He is a monk. What kind of relatives do you recognize when you see him or worship him? I also thought that the immortal style is my figure. No wonder they say, "Immortals, I eat the wind and smoke."
But my father was so happy that he couldn't stop hearing this. He rewarded Taoist Qingfeng with ten taels of silver on the spot and invited him to have a full meal at Sanyuanlou.
After that, Taoist priests passing by at my doorstep were endless. At first, they were looking around outside the house, waiting for Marshal Tianpeng to go out to play. Later, they rushed in and said, "When passing through the treasure land, you can see auspicious clouds lingering and purple qi soaring into the sky, there must be an immortal coming to the world."
My father was so happy at first that he was not vague about rewarding money and drinking. But seeing more and more Taoist priests "passing by", they lined up every day to break through the threshold, and they couldn't help but feel a little bit of money. If you want to thank the guests behind closed doors, these gods must not offend them.
He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and simply built the Taoist temple "Ziwei Temple" outside the Yuhang Gate. Taoist Master Qingfeng was the master of the temple, donating fifty taels of silver every month, and invited these gods to the temple to offer them. By the way, I would have learned some magic with them, which would be a waste of my fairy bones.
I didn't expect that these wine-lovers would be able to steal and seduce good women except for pretending and flattering. I followed them at a young age and didn't learn any magic. I knew a lot of crooked ways of cheating. When it comes to the magic of immortals, they also made others stunned and stunned.
The name of a person is the shadow of a tree. Not long after, everyone in Hangzhou knew that the young master of Mr. Xu's family was reincarnated by Tianpeng and reincarnated by immortals. One passing through ten, ten passing through hundreds, and even the Emperor Long Live was alarmed.
That year happened to be a severe drought in Jiangdong. All the Taoist monks and monks from Lin'an Prefecture went to the palace to set up altars to make practices, praying for thunder and rain. They struggled for ten days, but the water had not yet fallen.
Long lively, Long Yan was furious and chopped two monks, one Taoist priest, and the remaining mages were panicked and refused to invite the three mountains of Maoshan, Longhu and Gezao to Beijing to pray for rain. The emperor suddenly thought of me, saying that the distance water cannot quench the near thirst. Isn’t Xu Yuanwai’s young master who came to the world to the Thunder Coach Tian Peng? Why not let him enter the palace and try it.
When the dozens of fierce and domineering officials rushed into the house, my master, Master Qingfeng, was stepping on the Tiangang Beidou Step with great enthusiasm, demonstrating the state of flying in the nine heavens to me. When he heard that the emperor summoned me to pray for rain, his legs became weak and he fell to the ground with his butt, his face turned green.
"The evil words confuse the public, and the deceiving the king and the superiors are to be executed!" A lieutenant with a fat face pinched my face and said with a grim smile, "Boy, if you weren't Zhu Bajie descending to earth, you're ready to rush to get a pig's fetus today!"
Although I am very thin and small, my whole body is only a few taels of flesh, but I am surprisingly brave. How could I be scared by such an insignificant person? I looked at him with a smile and said, "Then aren't we relatives? How dare we?"
The master accompanied me into the palace tremblingly, and quietly gave me many instructions along the way, and finally passed on the secrets of his decades of exploring the world.
This set of magical magic that is widely and profound, unique, can be summarized into the five-character true secret of "observation", "meng", "shot", "scared", and "pull".
"Observe" means "observe words and expressions", "Meng" means "guessing randomly", "photos" means "flattering", "fear" means "intimidation and intimidation", and "tug" means "making a lie".
Five simple words, easy to say, difficult to do. If you want to integrate it, you will never be able to do it without a smart mind, a strong face, a clever tongue, a steel will... and a scud who can escape anytime and anywhere.
Later practice proved that his "observation, concealment, shooting, scare, and teasing" was indeed an extraordinary technique that turned misfortune into good fortune and showed good fortune in times of death. It was even more surrounding the officialdom, love field, battlefield, shopping mall... the irrefutable golden and jade law. I can have such a earth-shaking great cause in the future, and this great law has made great contributions.
Back to the point. When I entered the palace that day, I saw the emperor from afar. As my master's instructions, I knelt down on the ground with a "thump", knocked seventeen or eighteen times at him, and shouted loudly: "Emperor Ziwei, Queen Mother of the West, after leaving the Peach Banquet, 58 years, I, Tianpeng, finally saw you again!"
While saying that, I beat my chest and stamped my feet, and cried loudly with a hunched voice.
The people in the palace suddenly became sensational. The emperor opened his mouth wide in surprise and couldn't close it.
"So Your Majesty is the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei! This is really a blessing for the Song Dynasty and a blessing for the people!" The master also hurriedly knelt down, and knocked twenty-seven or eight times in a row, and was so excited that he burst into tears.
"The Purple Emperor of the North Pole" is the supreme god who "controls the three realms and masters the five thunders". His status is only under Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun and Taishang Laojun.
On that day, the master said that I was Tianpeng descending to the earth, so he cheated my father away ten taels of snowflakes. I was so slapped with such a big flattery that I would not have the emperor to death? If he admits that he is Ziwei Emperor, will anyone in the world dare to question me if I am Zhu Bajie?
The eunuchs in the palace were all veterans who had been through the battlefield and were fond of flattery. After hearing this, they immediately rushed to kneel down on the ground, shouting long live long live long.
Just as the emperor was dizzy and smiled, the master shook me again. I understood it and rushed to the prime minister Qin Hui again, pointed at him in surprise and shouted: "Oh, you... aren't you Marshal Yisheng? You must have come to the mortal world to protect the emperor, right?"
Marshal Yisheng is one of the four saints of the North Pole and a famous god. As early as the beginning of this dynasty, he was regarded as the protector of the Song Dynasty by Emperor Taizong.
Qin Hui was powerful at that time, and was famous for his jealousy and arbitrary behavior. As the saying goes, "people carry people in a sedan chair." If he doesn't give him an immortal official, how could he block his crow's mouth?
Qin Hui lowered his head, squinted his eyes, looked at me, the three-foot boy for a while, and a faint smile appeared on his gloomy face, and said slowly: "No wonder...no wonder I see you a little familiar."
Marshal Yisheng recognized me, can I still be Marshal Tianpeng? Everyone suddenly had another sensation, singing praises, and bursting into tears, and showing true feelings. The saint came to the world and the Song Dynasty was blessed!
When the first battle was won, everyone in the palace looked at me, a yellow-haired boy, with admiration and respect, and the master's back also straightened a little.
The Taoist priests and monks who practiced the Dharma in the palace were jealous and refused to let go. They all asked Your Majesty to descend and asked me to go to the altar to cast spells and ask for rain.
At that time, the sky was clear and the sun was scorching. My master looked up for a while and sweated like slurry. His straight waist became wilted again.
I was wearing a Taoist robe and a golden crown, and was having fun, but I didn't expect that there would be any consequences for showing my feet? I went to the Taoist altar carelessly, learned from the master's posture, pinched my hands, chanted my steps, chanted the spell, and spoke nonsense in a serious manner: "The Dragon King and Dragon King urinated, and the people of the world would sleep well. If you don't want to listen to me, you can't beat me and don't jump. Marshal Tianpeng was as anxious as the law!"
After screaming seven or eight times, the sky was still blue and cloudless, and the sun was still burning with scorching scorching. The Dragon King did not come out of Cheng Gong, but my master's legs were trembling and he couldn't help but wet his pants.
"Little God, when will it rain?" The emperor's face was a little overwhelmed.
At that time, I was too young and was stared at by everyone's eyes. I couldn't help but feel a little panicked. I pretended to count and frowned and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, the Dragon King is sleeping. After noon, it will definitely rain heavily after noon."
The afternoon is "after noon", tonight is "after noon", tomorrow is "after noon", next year is "after noon", and after noon after ten thousand years, it is still "after noon"... I don't believe that it will not rain from now on! As long as it rains "after noon", I will not be considered "deceiving the king and ignoring the superiors", right?
It’s strange to say that just after noon, a giorgio suddenly sounded when the sunny day was sunny. Then the sky was dark, sand and stones were flying, and the sky in the east was surging, and a large ball of purple and golden strange clouds rolled in.
"Boom!" The lightning shone brightly everywhere. Everyone in the palace looked up at the strange clouds pressing down on the sky in amazement. Before they understood what was going on, the heavy rain had already poured down, pouring them into chickens with soup.
"A god!" An old eunuch shook his deafening at me, perhaps because he was too excited. A denture "Servant" sounded, and the saliva flew out of his mouth.
Everyone woke up like a dream, cheering and kowtowing like pounding garlic. Even my master couldn't help but kneel down, holding my legs desperately, crying and asking for enlightenment.
Since then, the name of "Tianpeng Xu Xuan" has been so popular all over the country. My great deeds of praying for thunder and rain have been recorded in the history of Taoism and have been circulated from generation to generation.
(What? Some people say that he has read through history books but never saw this chapter? Bah! That's because he bought pirated and deleted books. So, when buying books, you must buy genuine ones.)
For a long time, I also believed that I was really a god who came down to earth, until later I ascended to heaven and met the Dragon King.
At that time, I first ascended the fairy world and drank too much wine in the Heavenly Palace with the Dragon King. I felt so uncomfortable that I slipped out and searched everywhere for the place where the grains and reincarnation were reincarnation.
I don’t know if it was because of the Minister of Works of Heavenly Court that the huge Heavenly Palace had no convenient place to build. In desperation, we had to ride on the heavenly soldiers and the fairies were unprepared and quietly hid in the corner of the wall to water the flowers of the Heavenly Court together.
The Dragon King sighed comfortably while enjoying himself: "His grandma's, it's so satisfying. Last month I drank too much and was anxious to urinate halfway, so I had to come over Hangzhou City. I was sneaking in broad daylight, so I couldn't enjoy it today!"
One day in heaven, one year in the world. A month ago... wasn't it the day when I entered the palace to ask for rain?
Five thunders thunders, and suddenly it became clear. A mysterious group of history that had lasted for many years was finally untied. Unexpectedly, the "sweet rain from the sky" was really... I looked at the Dragon King who was humming a melodious tune, so I wanted to give him a "revelation"! But for the perfection of my immortal resume, I could only bury this secret deeply in my heart with hatred...
These are all later words, so I didn't mention it. But I said that Longsheng's Lord Longyan was very happy and gave me the name "Mr. Tianxuan Tongzhen" on the spot, and was named the national teacher, and rewarded 500 taels of gold and 1,000 pieces of silk and satin. I also greatly expanded the "Ziwei'an" and gave it to the name "Zixiao Palace". My father and his master ascended to heaven, and each rewarded them. The glory and wealth came rolling in without any words.
The nine-year-old boy has not yet dried up his breasts and has become a national teacher. Even if he continues to die, it is unprecedented, right?
Immortals, I can reach the sky in one step. Eat the marrow and know the taste. I completely understand the benefits of being a god, and resolutely decide to devote my limited life to the infinite cultivation of Taoism and immortality.
But although I am young and have no knowledge of the Tao of immortality, I am already a master of the Song Dynasty. Who can I apply to to seek Taoism?
My fellow travelers are enemies. Even if I am willing to ask others to enlighten and preach with a shame, there are Taoist priests all over the world who are jealous of me and want to take me and replace me. Who would teach me sincerely? I am afraid that as soon as I saw me off, I would go straight to the palace and sue me as a national teacher to cheat and be ignorant.
At that time, my favor was so great that the emperor summoned me to the palace every few days, from military and national affairs to conflicts between concubines, he had to ask me about it.
I said nonsense, and he quickly asked the eunuch to copy it. He thought it carefully and praised it again and again. Even if I accidentally fart, he thought it was the God of Immortal Music, and he was solemn and could not help but listen.
A folk proverb says: "Walking by the sea often, there is no way to get wet feet?" "The flowers are not good for a hundred days, but the moon is full and waning." My father is a wise man. He knows that I am half a bucket of water swaying and a child who likes to make trouble, for fear that one day I will not know the importance of speaking, and if I am not careful, I will cause disaster to destroy the family.
Being with the king is like a tiger. Instead of being trembling and worried, it is better to take advantage of the fact that you have not yet been exposed, stop when you see the problem, and run away.
But in the world, is it the king's land, and the king's minister. My national teacher is famous all over the world, where can I hide? Once caught by an official, wouldn't it be the same as the sword falling down and becoming a corpse to destroy the immortal?
My father thought hard for several months and finally came up with a perfect solution - let me go to Changbai Mountain to seek immortality and learn Taoism.
The main reason why my "Renjitang" is famous all over the world is that the medicinal materials are authentic and unrestrained. Every June, my father will send several confidants to Changbai Mountain, Emei Mountain, Dali and Nanyang to collect and purchase herbs to ensure that every rare medicinal material collected is authentic and original.
Because of this, although the medicinal materials of "Renjitang" were quite expensive, they were always in short supply and were well-known throughout the Song Dynasty. Even the imperial court had to buy us 381 kinds of rare grass every year, part of which was used as tribute and part as a state gift, and to the envoys of foreign countries such as the Jin Dynasty and the Western Xia Dynasty.
Zhong Shu went to Changbai Mountain for many years to purchase Ganoderma lucidum, deer antler and other things. He often heard local residents say that as early as in ancient times, there were gods living on the mountain and his magic power was boundless. Therefore, Qin Shihuang called Changbai Mountain "Buxian Mountain", which means a mountain with gods and immortals.
In recent years, there have been more strange events on the mountain. The people at the villages at the foot of the mountain have been rumored to see immortals flying in the clouds and dancing in the sky. A herbalist also asked to swallow his saliva and swear to see a fairy bath in the Tianchi Pond.
Changbai Mountain is in the territory of Jin and Goryeo, and the Emperor of the Song Dynasty is beyond the reach. If I could find an immortal there and take him as my teacher, one could escape danger and avoid disaster, and the other would be successful and ascend in the sun.
When I become the Daluo Golden Immortal, even if I don’t ascend to the fairyland, I can return home with my lichen and glory. With my real talent and knowledge, I will return to Lin'an Prefecture to be my Grand Master of the Song Dynasty.
So on June 16, 16th year of Shaoxing, a strange thing happened in Lin'an Prefecture: the newly promoted national teacher, the young master Xu, suddenly disappeared while traveling to Lingyin Mountain!
There are many legendary versions of this incident, but according to the records of the servants of Xu's family who accompanied him on that day, birds were singing in the sky and clouds were flying in the clouds. An old man in white rode a donkey and "de" passed by them. He suddenly turned around and smiled at Mr. Xu, saying, "It's time to go back after so long."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man, the young man and the donkey... disappeared without a trace. Only a donkey poop on the ground still emitted the remaining warmth.
As soon as the news came out, the whole city of Hangzhou was in full swing. Everyone said that the Supreme Lord brought the Marshal of Heaven to the Heavenly Court. The Xu Mansion was in chaos and closed the door to thank the guests. Mrs. Xu was even more heartbroken and cried.
The emperor specially sent people to Xu's house to express condolences, and also built a Taoist temple in the place where Mr. Xu ascended to heaven on Lingyin Mountain to commemorate it. From then on, the people of Hangzhou City went to the Taoist temple to burn incense and pray, which was said to be particularly fulfilled.
Of course, the truth of the matter was not so lingering: that day, I took five servants and jumped up the mountain to play. When I arrived in the valley, Uncle Zhong, who was disguised as an old man in white, passed by on a donkey, and took advantage of the servants' unpreparedness and sprayed a few scents at them.
When they woke up, I had already arrived in Mingzhou in the carriage of Zhong Shu and Wang Liu.
The next morning, just as the city was full of wind and rain, and there were many different opinions, I followed Zhong Shu and Wang Liu onto the treasure ship, sailed through the waves, and headed straight for Goryeo.
This matter is extremely secret. From the beginning to the end, except for my father, only Uncle Zhong and Wang Liu knew about it. Even my mother thought that her son was really a god.
Chapter completed!
