Xiao Qingben is an ordinary snake in the mountains and forests, and its daily activities are limited to hunting, avoiding predators, and resting. Before the White Snake was recognized, it had no intelligence at all, and only had the instinct to survive.

As a demon who has been practicing for more than 500 years, the white snake no longer needs any predation except for spitting out the aura of heaven and earth. Its favorite thing to do is to wander between mountains and rivers, and sometimes sneak into the countryside and farmhouses to observe human movements. His favorite scene is the scene in the evening, when the family sits together and eats happily.

On this day, the white snake finally transformed into a human form, and she had just transformed into a baby, walking like a toddler baby. Walking in the forest, she felt lonely, but when she first took on a human form, many things had not yet been learned, and it was difficult for her to enter the world directly, so she could only wander alone in the mountains and fields every day.

In her spare time, she found the green snake, perhaps because of her own kind, the white snake had a whim to teach it to cultivate. The green snake who had not opened its spiritual wisdom was reluctant at first, but after listening to the white snake say that it could no longer worry about food, it readily agreed.

The cultivation talent of the green snake is not bad, and it has been less than five hundred years before it comes into contact with the edge of transformation. During the years of its cultivation, the White Snake has always accompanied it, and occasionally goes to the human world to experience life.

Decades have passed, and the green snake has transformed into its own human form. She happily tried to walk, then run, and finally talk. Seeing that she had also successfully transformed into a person, the White Snake intended to take her to the world to travel around, taste all kinds of food, and see all kinds of customs. The two of them were pseudonyms Bai Su, Lin Qing, and went to the world under the mountain as sisters.

Bai Su had already prepared, and exchanged all kinds of spiritual herbs in the mountains for enough silver in the pharmacy, and the two demons came to the Qianjiang area full of hope.

The scenery in early spring is the most pleasant, with a view of tender greenery and the enticing aroma of various snacks in the streets and alleys. There is an endless stream of people coming and going, and the laughter of children comes and goes.

After eating delicious food and enjoying the beautiful scenery, the two spent a few months to visit Hangsu City, and also spent all the money they brought. In desperation, he had no choice but to go back to the mountains and forests first to continue to find some spiritual herbs to sell.

This time, the shopkeeper who sold the medicine was a handsome young man. The shopkeeper's self-proclaimed surname is Xu, who is a local in Hangzhou and Suzhou, and the pharmacy is also handed down from the family. He saw that the medicinal materials sold by Bai Su were extremely rare and had good effects, and he couldn't help but wonder about the identities of the two.

Bai Su just smiled and said that the two of them were just women who collected medicine from the mountains and wilderness, and they would go into the mountains to collect medicine and then come to the city to sell it on weekdays. After hearing this, the shopkeeper surnamed Xu asked if he could sell all the medicinal materials in the future, and he was willing to give a fair price.

After a few transactions, the two demons of Bai Su also learned that the shopkeeper surnamed Xu was named Xu Xian. Since childhood, he wanted to gain fame, but his knowledge was not enough, and his parents died early, so he had no choice but to continue to run this pharmacy. Bai Suzi, who has been listening to Miss Scholar's stories, is deeply sympathetic to this, and has also laid the foundation for the future.

Once Bai Su came to sell medicine, but it was raining heavily and he was trapped in the pharmacy and could not leave. If she didn't want to attract attention, in fact, she could have left directly, Xu Xian left her in the store to rest for a while, made a cup of tea and chatted.

Chatting and chatting, Xu Xian led the topic to Bai Su's family, and learned that she had no relatives except for her sister Lin Qing, and she was overjoyed in her heart. He gradually led the topic to marriage and marriage, and mentioned that he had already passed the crown but had not yet married a family, and he was ashamed of his parents and ancestors.

How could Bai Su, who had already secretly had feelings for him, not understand what he meant, and this concubine was only a layer of window paper that was not pierced. Bai Su replied shyly: "The little girl has not yet been married, and the surrounding peers have already married and had children. ”

As soon as Xu Xian heard this, he immediately expressed his willingness to ask the matchmaker to propose marriage on a later date, Bai Su was carried away by the sudden love, and just nodded and agreed.

When the rain stopped and returned to the house she rented with Lin Qing, she realized that something had happened. One she is a demon and not a person, Xu Xian doesn't know about this matter, the paper can't hold the fire, once the two get married, there will be a day when they will be known, and then I am afraid that it will be difficult to have a good ending. Second, her identity is all made up, I'm afraid that Xu Xian will not like it if she finds out, and she can only ask Lin Qing in a dilemma.

Lin Qing didn't understand any of this, what she couldn't understand was that people's lives were only a few decades, and their cultivation was to seek immortality, so why should they chase the fleeting so-called feelings with their immortal bodies?

Although she didn't understand, looking at her bored sister's sad face, she had to try her best to make her happy. After thinking about it, she remembered that there was a very famous temple nearby, called Jinshan Temple, and it was said that the Zen master in it was good at understanding people's distress and was most praised by the locals.

She suggested that Bai Su go to Jinshan Temple to seek Buddha and ask the Zen master if he had a solution. Bai Su felt that this method was feasible, so he decided to wait for a few days when the weather was good and go to the Buddha to offer incense.

A few days later, it was a bright and good weather, the two came to the Jinshan Temple, respectfully worshiped the Buddha and incense, and then went to ask the little monk Zen master in the temple who he was, but in the temple.

The little monk told them that the Zen master who was circulating in the outside world was their abbot, Monk Fahai, who was in the temple at the moment, and if the two of them had a question to solve, he would report it.

After a while, the little monk came out and led the two into the backyard of the temple, where Monk Fahai was making tea at the table. His beard and hair are white, he is not too old, full of energy, and full of Zen, so that the two of them feel like a Buddha when they see it. After the little monk retreated, Monk Fahai invited them to sit down and handed each of them a cup of tea.

"I don't know if the two donors have any doubts about looking for the old man?" Fahai was the first to ask, and without waiting for the two to answer, he said: "The two donors should have just entered the world, and the demonic aura has not been completely covered, so it is better to move less." ”

The two of them were suddenly a little panicked, and Fahai comforted: "The two donors don't have to worry, the land of Buddhism likes to be quiet, and the two of them have come to the Buddha to ask for doubts, and the old man is welcome." Bai Su heard him say this, so he pulled Lin Qing and sat down again. She spoke slowly:

"Mage, the little demon's name is Bai Su, he has been in the world for less than a year, but he has fallen in love with a mortal man. He is willing to marry me, but he doesn't know that I am a demon body, how is it good?"

Fahai took a sip of tea: "The monks don't know about men and women, but the old man is also a cultivator, so there are two things I can tell the donor." ”

"One of them, the donor is a demon, and he is a man. The people of the world are most afraid of the things of the mountain and wild goblins. The second is that what the donor seeks in his cultivation is immortality, and his body is immortal and his face is permanent, while mortals are like old men, who will be dying of old age after dozens of years, what will happen in the future?"

Bai Su sighed: "Yes, I'm a demon, he's a human." If he knew about it, I was afraid that he would never dare to see me again. ”

Fahai also said: "A cultivator can not be bound by the worldly framework, but since the other party is a mortal, the benefactor should not act at will so as not to violate the way of heaven. Therefore, the old man does not approve of the matter between you and the donor, and it is better to stop it as soon as possible than to be bitter and depressed. ”

Bai Su hesitated for a long time, she was unwilling, and after making a choice, she suddenly asked: "Mage, if I give up this immortal demon body and become a mortal, you think it is feasible." Fahai was taken aback by her sudden thought, and hurriedly said: "The donor must not, I think the donor's cultivation should be a thousand years, once he gives up his demon body, he will completely cut off the path to immortality! ”

Bai Su shook his head: "Master, being born in me is like a falling flower floating in flowing water, which is not forced by me. I can't live forever, I just want to live a good life with him. ”

Fahai tried his best to persuade him, and Lin Qing kept persuading him, after thousands of years of practice, there would still be a lot of time to enjoy in the future, how could he give up because of an ordinary man? Fahai was helpless, so he could only point the way: "There is a person in the northwest direction, who may be able to help you." ”

…

"So you found me?" Ao Qinyu looked at the undulating Qianjiang River and asked Lin Qing beside him.

The green snake, that is, Lin Qing, has long since dried up with tears in the corners of his eyes. She nodded and said, "After Master Fahai pointed out the direction, my sister and I went directly to look for the traces of the adult, and finally met the adult. ”

Ao Qinyu understood: "I said how you found me in the first place, it turned out that the old monk showed you the way." If he hadn't been a little cruel and didn't tell you, your sister wouldn't have ended up in such a situation. ”

Lin Qing shook his head: "Don't blame the mage, we have already persuaded my sister, she insists on going her own way, and no one can turn back." I only hate that Xu Xian, I loved my sister in every way before I got married, and I changed after I got married. The men in the world are so unkind, they like the new and hate the old, and they abandon it from the beginning. ”

"So after my sister escaped into the empty door, I went to Xu Xian's house and gave him snake venom and let him lie in bed for forty-nine days, wanting him to die in agony. ”

"Helplessly, the mage knew what I had done, saved the merciful man, and only let him escape into the empty gate and follow the mage for the rest of his life. ”

Since then, I have been following my sister to chant Buddhist scriptures in the nunnery, and accompanied my sister through her poor ten years. Yes, you heard me right, my sister was depressed and went early, and I couldn't help her survive. ”

Lin Qing finished talking about the life of the white snake, squeezed out a smile and said: "Delay the adult for a long time to listen to me talk here, the adult will wait for me to get the medicine for you." ”
