Chapter 108: Before I leave, I'll give you a song
What Ye Chen wants to talk about today is the folk legend that is widely spread among the people - "The Legend of the White Snake", also known as "The Legend of the White Lady"
"The Legend of the White Snake" originated from the famous folklore that has been handed down thousands of years ago, mainly about the ancient love between a white lady who has been transformed by a thousand years of practice of a snake demon and a mortal young man Xu Xian.
The story is probably that the White Lady turned into a human form, and when she and her maid Xiaoqing met in the rain at the West Lake in Hangzhou during the Qingming Festival, the young Xu Xian borrowed an umbrella. Later, in the name of returning the umbrella, the white lady confessed her love to Xu Xian, set a marriage, and the two moved to Zhenjiang to open a pharmacy for a living, living a life of concubines.
The good times didn't last long, and the appearance of an old monk of Jinshan Temple broke the beautiful one. This old monk's name is Fahai, Fahai saw Xu Xian, said that he had a demonic face, and asked him to let the white lady drink realgar wine during the Dragon Boat Festival. After the white lady drank the realgar wine, she showed her original form and scared Xu Xian to death. In order to save her husband Xu Xian, the white lady took the risk to save Xu Xian with Xiaoqing thief Xiancao, but Fahai deceived Xu Xian into going to Jinshan Temple to shave and become a monk, separating the husband and wife. The White Lady went to Sof, fought with Fahai in a rage, and flooded Jinshan Temple. Later, the two met at the broken bridge and were reconciled. No, Fahai tried to destroy the marriage between the two again and put the White Lady under the Leifeng Tower.
The legend of the White Snake originally originated from the rumors of the discovery of a giant python among the people, and was influenced by the Tang legend "The Legend of the White Snake". According to Hangzhou's "Jingci Temple Chronicles", in the Song Dynasty, there was a white python in Shanyin, near the temple, and it would become a woman and often hurt people, and Chen Zhiguang's "Southern Song Dynasty Miscellaneous Poems" has also seen the saying of "hearing the Lei Feng Basilisk". In addition, there is a folk legend that Fahai did bad things and hid in the shell of the snail and did not dare to come out.
That is, on the basis of this story fragment material, "The Legend of the White Lady" also absorbs some of the legends of the monk dragon fighting method of Jinshan Temple. In "The Story of the Three Towers of West Lake", it further reflects the synopsis of the story of the White Snake and highlights the color that shemales cannot live together. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Feng Menglong's "Warning to the World" included "The White Lady Yongzhen Leifeng Tower", and the color of the popular novel was also biased towards this. It was not until the story of "The Legend of Leifeng Tower" that appeared in the late Qing Dynasty that the demonic spirit of the white snake was reduced, highlighting her brave character of resolutely pursuing free love.
Under this rudiment, later generations of artists embellished and embellished the legend of the White Snake, mixed with opera elements, and formed the "Legend of the White Snake" that was formed in later generations, and was made into the classic TV series "The Legend of the White Snake".
still remembers the 92 Zhao Yazhi version of "The Legend of the White Snake", which was popular on the screen in China at that time and became a mark in the hearts of the Chinese people.
In today's world structure, the folklore about the Legend of the White Snake before the Qing Dynasty is the same as the "Unmodified World", but until now, "The Legend of the White Snake" has not been formed, let alone made into a TV series.
Now, in this small mountain village, at the foot of the big mountain, Ye Chen is sitting on the grass, surrounded by trees and dots of light, and he tells the story of "The Legend of the White Snake" to a group of children and villagers in the mountains.
The children and the villagers listened to it fascinatingly, the mountain people are the most convinced of the gods and ghosts, and the story of the white lady and the mortal Xu Xian is very appetizing to them, this listening is the sunset on the mountain, the sunset sprinkled.
And everyone is unaware of the passage of time, and as the story of the White Snake unfolds, they are trapped in it and forget themselves.
"It's not too early, so that's all for today. Ye Chen looked at the sun, set on the mountain, and learned the tone of a storyteller: "If you want to know what will happen next, please listen to the next decomposition." “
The children and villagers seemed to be unsatisfied, and shouted for Ye Chen to speak two more paragraphs, but Ye Chen refused, and said, "Let's disperse, the days are long, and you have to burn the fire to cook." I'll tell you about it when I'm free. ”
Everyone had no choice but to give up and disperse, and the children went home from school.
And after the villagers went back that day, the news that Teacher Ye would tell the story spread in the village, and after hearing Ye Chen tell the legend of the White Lady, the villagers all said that Teacher Ye in the village primary school was terrible, and the story was better than any program on TV.
This whetted the appetite of many villagers.
So later, when there was a chance, the villagers caught Ye Chen and asked him to continue to tell them the story of "The Legend of the White Snake", and his audience became more and more.
As soon as the elementary school was on weekend for two days, Ye Chen was still eating breakfast, and a large group of villagers who had nothing to do in the field came to the school.
"Teacher Ye, yesterday you said that Xu Xian was deceived by Fahai to become a monk in Jinshan Temple, and the White Lady went to Sofu, I really want to know what happened next,"
"Me too, I and my daughter-in-law didn't fall asleep yesterday, that old bald donkey of Fahai is too hateful. ”
"Teacher Ye, hurry up and tell everyone, what's going on?"
Ye Chen was already used to it, and said, "Everyone wait for me to finish breakfast first, okay?"
Everyone hurriedly said: "Okay, then we will wait in the playground outside, so as not to disturb the two of you to eat." ”
The "little couple" in the mouth of the villagers is Su Yue, who eats with him, in the village, everyone says that Teacher Ye and Teacher Su are a natural pair. Ye Chen explained to the villagers that the two were friends, but the villagers always teased them like this.
Ye Chen looked at Su Yue, who was eating opposite, and the other party looked calm and ate quietly.
She is always so quiet, only in front of the children, her one qiē is not stingy.
After eating, Ye Chen walked to the playground, where many people were already waiting, forming a big circle.
"Teacher Ye is here, let everyone let!"
"Xiao Ye, everyone is here to cheer you on. ”
"Go, go, what are you people from Wulu Village doing here...... "People from other villages also came."
Ye Chen came on the field, sat cross-legged in the middle of the playground, and the taste of Mr. Storyteller came.
"Last time, I said, "Xu Xian Jinshan Temple shaved, and the White Lady went to Sofu..."
“…… Bai Suzhen was furious, showing the true body of the thousand-year-old snake demon, driving Mo ** to power, and the water flooded Jinshan Temple......"
"Good"
"Happy!"
In the crowd, the villagers applauded!
……
In the third month that Ye Chen stayed in the mountain village, one night, the stars were hanging all over the night, so pure.
On the top of a small mountain, Ye Chen sat on a piece of bluestone, his eyes looking at the starry sky in the distance, his eyes were sometimes slightly condensed, sometimes calm, as if he was thinking about something.
"It's time for you to go!"
In the silent mountains, birds, beasts and insects chirped, and a quiet voice suddenly came from behind.
"Let's go?" He turned his head and looked at the woman quietly, like a fairy in the moonlight.
"I've known about you for a long time. Su Yue stood beside her and said softly, "Escaping can't solve the problem." ”
"I didn't run away. He smiled and shook his head, looked up at the starry sky, sighed lightly, and said, "I'm just thinking, what should I do next?"
During the months he had been in the small mountain village, he had learned a lot, and he felt that he had to plan his future path.
Su Yue under the moonlight, like the aura of the moonlight, her eyes were like water, and she suddenly said something that was not topical, and said softly: "You say that books are better than your novels." ”
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Su Yue, those watery eyes were so beautiful, and then he smiled, as if he had suddenly lost his pressure.
He understood the meaning of Su Yue's words.
"Can I borrow your guitar and use it?" Ye Chen suddenly said.
Su Yue gave him the guitar that she always carried with her.
"Before leaving, I'll give you a song!" he looked at Su Yue with a smile, "I wrote it myself." ”
Then, he stroked the strings, and a light and stirring melody came from between his fingers.
"Red dust is ridiculous
Infatuation is the most boring
It's okay to have a clear eye
This life is not over
but the heart is not disturbed
I just want to get away with it for half a lifetime
Smile at people when you wake up
Forget it all in your dreams
Sigh that it was too early to get dark
The next life is unpredictable
Love and hate are written off
Sing to the wine
I just want to be happy until I get old
No matter how cold the wind is, I don't want to escape
No matter how beautiful the flowers are, I don't want them
Let me sway
The higher the sky, the smaller the heart
Regardless of how much cause and effect there is
Drunk alone
Cry today and laugh tomorrow
I don't want anyone to understand
Proud
Singing and dancing
The night was long and unaware
Will be happy to find
