The original draft of "White Snake", and the announcement of the revision of the full text

Previous Chapter

Everyone is welcome to visit us, please remember the address of this site:,, so that you can read the latest chapters of "The Wizard of Clouds" at any time...

After struggling for a long time and thinking about it repeatedly, I finally decided to suspend the update first and revise the full text. The reason why this must be done is 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 interesting. 3. I want to bring Xu Xian's series of experiences in the Jin Kingdom to the front. Both 1 and 2 can be modified at the end of the full text, but 3 cannot.

I also thought that it would be better to go over some of the units that I wanted to add and modify first, and serialize them along the main line first, and then revise them all, but as soon as I made up my mind to bring 3 to the front, it would inevitably change the story structure after "Xiongkuru", and it would be really painful to revise it after the full text was over. Second, this is too unfair to friends who read serials, and the whole story will inevitably have big shortcomings, and even some breaks and unclear feelings.

It was a very difficult and painful decision, but it was by no means a willful decision. "The Wizard of the Clouds" is a work that I personally put a lot of effort and ambition into, and I hope that it can surpass the grandeur of the "Wild" series, and I hope that it will still be read and loved by readers in 10, 20, or even 100 years. I must make my creations worthy of myself, worthy of you, and worthy of Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen. I believe that you, like me, also want to see a wild fox under the tree that is more serious with yourself and strives to get closer to perfection and "The Wizard of the Sea of Clouds".

In the more than a year since I came to Creation, there have been so many friends who have moved me, and there have been so many moments that have moved me. Brothers and sisters of the Divine Gate, your tolerance and support for me will always be remembered by me. A good work not only belongs to the author, but also to all readers who have grown up with the work, and it has left all the marks that belong to us. Please believe that I cherish the words "Wild Fox Under the Tree", support me as always, please allow me to stop "willfully" for 1-2 months, adjust the full text well, and then enter a more perfect, more reasonable, and more magnificent world of immortals and demons in the Great Song Dynasty.

Bow deeply......

Finally, I would like to attach the first draft of "White Snake" that I wrote in 2003, which is one of the many beginnings and story outlines that I have deleted, for you to laugh at.

White Snake

wedge

My name is Xu Xian.

The reason for this name is because my father's surname is Xu, and I want to be a fairy.

There were really a lot of people who wanted to be immortals in those years, and even the Long Live Lord wanted to soar in the daytime, alchemy and medicine every day, and often invited Taoist priests from the three mountains and five mountains to set up a dojo in the palace to pray for Jiao.

Upward and downward effects, cultivating immortals and attaining Taoism have naturally become the most popular fashion in the Great Song Dynasty.

A name is a sign of the times. Therefore, eight of the ten people in Lin'an City have changed their names, either called "Chengxian", or "Youdao", or the women have to be called "XX Yuanjun", just like "Zhang Jianguo" and "Wang Jiefang" all over Hangzhou City 800 years later.

At that time, there were many Taoist temples inside and outside Lin'an City, the incense was prosperous, and the Taoist priests in high-crowned Xuanfu were all over the city. The common people have a copy of the "Tao Te Ching" and "Wanshou Daozang" approved by the Emperor of Long Live Lord, and its popularity is no less than that of the red treasure book eight hundred years later.

Of course, these are all things that I only learned about after I became an immortal.

Before becoming an immortal, I was just Xu Xuan, the only seedling son outside Xu Dayuan in Lin'an Mansion. The "Renjitang" opened by the ancestor is the most famous pharmacy in Hangzhou, and there are all kinds of rare medicinal materials in the world. There is a famous proverb in Hangzhou, "Kunlun is far away in the sky, and Renji is close in front of you", which refers to our shop.

Since I was a child, I don't know how many catties of ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, and He Shou Wu I have eaten...... But he was still frail and sickly, skinny, and was almost dragged into the clouds by a paper kite when flying a kite.

When I was eight years old, a passing Taoist priest saw me playing at the door of the house, and suddenly the tiger's body shook violently, and the essence of the light burst out, and without saying a word, he knelt down at me "plopped", and "Dong Dong Dong" knocked seventeen or eighteen rings in a row, saying that I am a fairy wind bone, which is unspeakably expensive, and must be the marshal of the Tianpeng of the Big Dipper Jiuchen.

I thought to myself, isn't Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Bajie? People are monks, what kind of relatives do you recognize when you see a bull's nose, and what do you worship? I want to dare to love the fairy wind bone is my figure, no wonder they all say "fairy fairy, eat wind and smoke".

But my father was so happy when he heard it that he rewarded the Qingfeng Dao with ten taels of silver on the spot, and invited him to have a full meal in the Sanyuan Building.

After that, there was an endless stream of Taoist priests passing by my door, and at first they were still looking outside the door of the house, waiting for Marshal Tianpeng to go out to play; Later, he simply broke in in a hurry, saying something like "passing through the treasure land, seeing auspicious clouds, purple gas, there must be immortals coming to the world".

My father was very happy at first, and there was no ambiguity in rewarding money and wine. But seeing that there are more and more Taoist priests "passing by", they line up to break through the threshold every day, and they can't help but feel a little painful white silver; If you want to close the door, these immortals must not be offended.

He gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and simply built a Taoist temple "Ziwei Nunnery" outside Yuhang Gate, and the Qingfeng Taoist chief was the master of the temple, donating fifty taels of silver every month, and invited these immortals to the Taoist temple to offer, and by the way, let me learn some spells with them, and it was not in vain that this immortal bone was in vain.

I don't want this group of wine bags and rice barrels to only pretend and slap horses, but they will only steal chickens and dogs and seduce women from good families. I followed them at a young age, and I didn't learn any spells, but I knew a lot about the crooked ways of deception; Speaking of the immortal Taoism, it is also a set of sets, which makes others stunned.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree. It didn't take long for everyone in Hangzhou to know that the son of Xu Yuanwai's family was the reincarnation of Tianpeng and the reincarnation of immortals. One to ten, ten to hundred, even the Long Live Lord was alarmed.

That year, it happened that there was a great drought in Jiangdong, and the Taoist monks of Lin'an Mansion all went to the palace to set up an altar to practice, praying for thunder and rain, and tossed for ten days in a row, and the water did not fall.

Long Live Lord Long Yan was furious, and cut down two monks and a Taoist priest in one go, and the remaining mages panicked, and shirked to invite the three mountain masters of Maoshan, Longhu, and Gesoap to enter Beijing to pray for rain. The emperor suddenly remembered me, and said that far water can't quench the thirst of the near, isn't the son of Xu Yuanwai the thunder boss Tianpeng descending? It's better to let him enter the palace and try it.

When the dozens of fierce and domineering officials rushed into the house, my master, Qingfeng Dao Chief, was stepping on the Tiangang Beidou step in high spirits, demonstrating to me the chic realm of flying for nine days; When I heard that the emperor had summoned me to pray for rain, my legs suddenly became weak, and I sat down on the ground, and my face turned green with fright.

"Lies to confuse the public, deceive the king, and behead the whole house!" A meaty lieutenant pinched my face, smiled and said, "Stinky boy, if you don't go down to earth with Zhu Bajie, you will be ready to go to a pig fetus today!" ”

Although I am very thin and small, and the total amount of meat in my body is only three or two, but my courage is surprisingly big, how can I be intimidated by this kind of unpopular goods? He looked at him with a smile and said, "Then aren't we relatives?" How dare you. ”

The master accompanied me into the palace with trepidation, and quietly told me thousands of instructions along the way, and finally passed on to me the secret biography of his decades of wandering the rivers and lakes.

This set of spells can be described as profound and profound, unique, and can be condensed into the five words of "inspection", "meng", "shooting", "scare" and "pulling".

"Cha" means "observing words and feelings", "Meng" means "guessing nonsense", "shooting" means "slapping horses", "frightening" means "intimidating and deterring", and "pulling" means "nonsense and lying".

It's easy to say in five words, but if you want to understand it, you don't have a smart mind, a thick skin, a clever tongue, or an iron will...... And the scuds who can slip away anytime and anywhere, it is absolutely not okay.

Later practice proved that his "investigation, blindness, shooting, scare, and pulling the Dafa" was indeed an immortal thaumaturgy that turned evil into good fortune and showed auspiciousness in distress, and it was also a dominal officialdom, love field, battlefield, and shopping mall...... With the unbreakable Golden Jade Rule, I will be able to have such an earth-shattering feat in the future, and this Dafa has made great contributions.

Straight to the point. When I entered the palace that day and saw the emperor from afar, I knelt down on the ground with a "plop" according to the master's instructions, and kowtowed seventeen or eight times to him, shouting loudly: "Emperor Ziwei, the Queen Mother of the West will say goodbye, and after fifty-eight years, I finally see you again in the canopy!" ”

As I spoke, I beat my chest and cried loudly.

The people in the palace suddenly made a commotion, and the emperor opened his mouth in surprise and couldn't close it.

"It turns out that Your Majesty is the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei! This is really the luck of the Great Song Dynasty and the blessing of the common people! The master also hurriedly knelt down, and kowtowed twenty-seven or eight times in a row, so excited that he burst into tears.

"Arctic Ziwei Emperor" is the supreme god who "dominates the Three Realms and masters the Five Thunders", and his status is only below Yuan Shi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun and Taishang Laojun.

That day, the master said that I was under the canopy, so he deceived my father of ten taels of snowflake silver. If he admits that he is the Emperor Ziwei, will there still be people in the world who dare to ask me if I am Zhu Bajie?

The eunuchs in the palace were all veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and when they heard this, they immediately rushed to their knees and shouted long live, long live, long live.

Just when the emperor was dizzy and smiling, the master gave me another look, I understood, and another arrow rushed to the front of the prime minister Qin Hui, and 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, a famous god, as early as the beginning of this dynasty, he was worshiped as the protector of the Great Song Dynasty by Emperor Taizong.

Qin Hui was powerful at that time, and he was famous for his jealousy and arbitrariness. is the so-called "flower sedan chair person carrying people", if he is not a fairy official, how can he block his crow's mouth?

Qin Hui lowered his head, squinted his eyes, and looked at my three-foot boy for a long time, a faint smile rarely appeared on his gloomy face, and said slowly: "No wonder...... No wonder I see you a little familiar. ”

Marshal Yisheng knows me, can I still be Marshal Tianpeng? Everyone was suddenly a sensation again, singing praises of virtue, excited, and revealing their true feelings. The saint came to the world, and the Great Song Dynasty was blessed!

After winning the first battle, the people in the palace were impressed by me, a yellow-haired boy, and they were respectful, and the master's waist was straightened.

The Taoist priests and monks who practiced the law in the palace were red-eyed, and they did not give up, and they asked His Majesty to issue a decree and let me go to the altar to cast spells and ask for rain.

At that time, the sky was clear and the sun was scorching, and my master looked up for a long time, sweating like pulp, and his straight waist wilted again.

I was wearing a Taoist robe, wearing a golden crown, and I was having a good time, but I didn't think what would happen if I showed my horse's feet? went up to the altar with a big grin, learned the master's posture, pinched the trick with his hands, walked in his footsteps, recited mantras, and said nonsense in a matter-of-fact manner: "The dragon king and the dragon king pee, and the people of the world sleep well." If you don't listen to me, don't jump. Marshal Tianpeng is as anxious as a law! ”

I shouted seven or eight times in a row, but the sky was still blue and cloudless, and the sun was still scorching the earth. The dragon king didn't come out of Chenggong, but my master's legs trembled, and he couldn't help but wet his pants.

"Little fairy, when will it rain when it pours?" The emperor's face was a little unbearable.

At that time, after all, I was too young, and I was stared at by everyone's burning eyes, and I couldn't help but panic a little in my heart, pretending to pinch my fingers, frowning and saying: "Back to Your Majesty, the Dragon King is sleeping, after noon, it will definitely rain heavily after noon." ”

Afternoon is "after noon", tonight is "after noon", tomorrow is "after noon", next year is "after noon", and after 1,000 years and 10,000 years, it will still be "after noon...... I don't believe it will rain from now on! As long as it rains "after noon", I won't be considered a "bully", right?

It is also strange to say, just after noon, a scorching thunder suddenly sounded on a sunny day, and then the sky was dark, flying sand and stones, the eastern sky was surging, and a large group of purple-gold strange clouds rolled in.

"Boom!" The lightning shone brightly on all sides, and everyone in the palace looked up at the strange clouds that pressed down from the sky in amazement, and before they could understand what was going on, the pouring rain had already poured down, pouring them into chickens in soup.

"Immortals!" An old eunuch trembled at me, probably too excited, and a denture "servant" sounded, and flew out with spittle.

Everyone woke up like a dream, cheering and screaming, kowtowing like pounding garlic. Even my master couldn't help but kneel down, holding my leg desperately and crying and shouting for enlightenment.

Since then, the name of "Tianpeng Xu Xuan" has shocked the north and south of the country. I am a child, and the heroic deeds of praying for thunder and rain have been recorded in the history of Taoism and passed down from generation to generation.

(What?) Some people say that he went through the history books and never saw this chapter? Bah! That's because he bought a pirated abridged copy. Therefore, when buying a book, you must buy the genuine version. )

For a long time, I also believed that I was really an immortal, until I ascended to heaven and met the dragon king.

At that time, when I first ascended to the fairy realm, I drank too much wine with the Dragon King in the Heavenly Palace, and I was so uncomfortable that I slipped out to look for a place for the reincarnation of grains.

I don't know if it's because the Heavenly Court Ministry of Industry is corrupt and deducted, and the huge Heavenly Palace has not built a convenient place. In desperation, we had no choice but to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the heavenly soldiers and fairies, and quietly hide in the corner of the wall to water the flowers of the heavenly court together.

The dragon king sighed comfortably while enjoying himself: "His grandmother's is really happy." Last month, I drank too much alcohol and was in a hurry to urinate halfway, so I had to take a dip over the city of Hangzhou. In broad daylight, sneaky, how can you enjoy today! ”

One day in heaven, one year on earth. A month ago...... Wasn't it the day I went into the palace to ask for rain?

Five thunders thundered, and suddenly it became clear, and a historical mystery that had lasted for many years was finally solved. I didn't expect that "rain from the sky" was really ...... I looked at the dragon king humming a beautiful tune with grief and indignation, and how I wanted to give him a "Daigo empowerment"! But for the sake of the perfection of my immortal resume, I can only bury this secret deep in my heart with hatred......

These are all afterwords, and they will not be mentioned. But he said that long live the dragon Yan Dayue, and gave me the name "Mr. Tianxuan Tongzhen" on the spot, and was named a national teacher, rewarded with 500 taels of gold, 1,000 horses of silk, and greatly expanded the "Ziwei Nunnery" and gave me the name "Zixiao Palace". My father and master's chicken dog ascended to heaven, and each of them was rewarded. Glory and wealth, rolling in, not enough to say.

The nine-year-old boy has not dried up, and he has actually become a national teacher, even if he is endless, it is unprecedented, right?

Immortals, gods, one step to the sky. I thoroughly understood the benefits of being an immortal, and resolutely decided to devote my limited life to infinite cultivation and immortal cultivation.

But although I am young and don't know anything about the way of immortals, I am already a national teacher of the Great Song Dynasty, who can I ask for the Tao?

Peers are enemies. Even if I am willing to brisk others to preach the word, and the Taoist priests who are jealous of me all over the world, and they all hate to replace me, who will teach me sincerely? I'm afraid that as soon as the front foot sends me away, the back foot will go straight to the palace and accuse me of this national teacher for swaggering and cheating, and I don't know how to learn.

At that time, I was in great favor, and the emperor summoned me to the palace twice in three days, from the military and government affairs to the contradictions between the concubines and concubines.

When I said nonsense, he quickly asked the eunuch to transcribe it, and only said it carefully, and praised it again and again; Even if I accidentally fart, he thought it was the Divine Comedy of Xianle, and he was in awe, eager to listen.

The folk proverb says: "I often walk on the beach, how can I not get my feet wet", "The flower is not good for a hundred days, and the moon is in short supply". My father is a man who understands, and knows that I am half a bucket of water swaying, and I am a child who likes to mess around, for fear that one day I will not know the importance of my speech, and I will cause the disaster of destruction if I am not careful.

Accompany the king like a tiger, instead of trembling and worrying, it is better to take advantage of the fact that you have not yet gotten help, accept it when you see it, and run away.

But under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. My national teacher is famous all over the world, where can I hide? Once caught by the official, isn't it the same as picking up a knife and being an autopsy immortal?

My father pondered and meditated for several months, and finally came up with a foolproof plan - let me go to Changbai Mountain to seek immortals and learn the Tao.

The main reason why my family's "Renjitang" is famous all over the world is that the medicinal materials are authentic and the children are not bullied. Every June, my father would send several henchmen to Changbai Mountain, Emei Mountain, Dali and Nanyang to collect and purchase herbs to ensure that every rare medicinal herb collected was authentic and original.

For this reason, although the medicinal materials of "Renjitang" are quite expensive, they are always in short supply, and they are famous in the Great Song Dynasty. Even the imperial court had to ask us for 381 kinds of precious herbs every year, some of which were used as tribute, and some of which were given as national gifts to the envoys of the Jin State and the Western Xia Dynasty.

Uncle Zhong has been going to Changbai Mountain for many years to buy Ganoderma lucidum, deer antler velvet and other things, and often heard the local residents say that as early as ancient times, there were immortals living on the mountain, and the magic power was boundless. That's why Qin Shi Huang called Changbai Mountain "Buxian Mountain", which means a mountain with immortals.

In recent years, there have been more miracles on the mountain, and the people in the villages below the mountain are boiling with legends to see the immortals driving the clouds and flying in the sky; There was also a herb picker who swallowed his saliva and swore that he had seen a fairy bathing in the heavenly pool.

Changbai Mountain is in the territory of Jin and Goryeo, and the Great Song Emperor is beyond the reach of the whip. If I can find an immortal there and worship him as a teacher, I can escape danger and avoid disaster, and second, I can achieve success and soar in the day.

When I become a Da Luo Jin Immortal, even if I don't go to the fairy world, I can return to my hometown with a swagger and lichen brocade, and return to Lin'an Mansion to be my Great Song National Teacher with real talent and learning.

So on June 16, the 16th year of Shaoxing, a strange thing happened in Lin'an Mansion: the son of the new national teacher and Xu Dayuan suddenly disappeared when he went to Lingyin Mountain to play!

There are many versions of legend about this incident, but according to the account of the servants of the Xu Mansion who accompanied him that day: at that time, an old man in white rode a donkey to pass by them, and suddenly turned his head and smiled at Xu Gongzi, saying, "After coming down for so long, it is time to go back." ”

As soon as the words fell, the old man and the son took the donkey...... Disappeared without a trace. Only a donkey dung peg on the ground still exudes residual warmth.

As soon as the news came out, the entire city of Hangzhou was boiling, and everyone said that Taishang Laojun had returned to Heaven with the canopy marshal. The Xu Mansion was in a mess and closed its doors. Mrs. Xu was even more heartbroken and cried into tears.

The emperor specially sent people to Xu's mansion to express his condolences, and also built a Taoist temple in the place where Xu Gongzi ascended to heaven in Lingyin Mountain to commemorate it. Since then, the people of Hangzhou have come to the Taoist temple to burn incense and pray, which is said to be a special fulfillment.

Of course, the truth of the matter is not so suspenseful: that day, I took five domestic servants and jumped up the mountain to play. When they arrived in the valley, Uncle Zhong, disguised as an old man in white, rode a donkey to pass by, and took advantage of the unpreparedness of those servants and sprayed a few mouthfuls of incense at them.

By the time they woke up, I had already arrived in Mingzhou in the carriage of Uncle Zhong and Wang Liu.

Early in the morning of the second day, when the city of Lin'an was full of wind and rain and there were different opinions, I followed Uncle Zhong and Wang Liu on the treasure ship, sailed through the waves, and went straight to Goryeo.

This matter is extremely secret, from beginning to end, except for my father, only Uncle Zhong and Wang Liu know; Even my mother thought that her son had really become a fairy.

It was a sunny day, calm and the weather was exceptionally good. When I leaned against the wind, looked out at the vast ocean, and looked forward with excitement to a strange country thousands of miles away, I did not know that I was sailing towards an unpredictable and wonderful future......
