"Husband, have you thought of a good solution?" Xu Ruoxue asked with a smile.

The little Taoist priest glared: "You are a husband, I am really a fairy." ”

Xu Ruoxue said angrily: "Husband, you still know that you are not an immortal!" ”

"You dead Taoist, come with me."

"Hey, madam, the gentleman doesn't move his mouth, this is a good talk, what are you pulling me for?"

"Ah, ma'am, you, what are you doing pulling me to bed?"

"I'll go, ma'am, it's broad daylight, it's in the barracks."

"Ah, ma'am, you can't push me down."

"I'll go, quietly, quietly."

……

The clouds dissipated and the rain dispersed.

"Madame, why are you doing this? You can't do that. ”

"Hmph, you dead Taoist, it's not enough for this woman to have a son, I really want to have another daughter. A son and a daughter, this is called perfection. ”

"But madam, don't be in such a hurry, you and I are still young."

"Young? Young fart. Marrying a dead Taoist priest who loves heroes, this woman will become a widow at some point. Therefore, this matter must be grasped and every second must be rushed. ”

"Hey, madam, when you say this, you feel that you are alive for your husband, just to sow seeds for you."

"It's good that you know. Hmph, it's okay to have children, the husband who loves heroes, this woman doesn't want it. ”

Little Taoist priest,......

Being tossed by Xu Ruoxue like this, the little Taoist priest really thought of a way.

The so-called bell still needs to be tied to the bell, and the matter of the white-clothed immortal started from the Gong family, so now you have to ask the Gong family to figure out what is going on with this white-clothed immortal?

It is actually very easy to find the Gong family, because the Gong family has no old and young people who have escaped, and they are all locked up in the barracks.

It's just that the little Taoist priest and Wang Tuanlian interrogated for a long time, and they didn't get a word of really useful news.

When the little Taoist priest was leaving disappointed, a child suddenly said, "If you want to ask about the white-clothed immortal, you have to ask my grandfather." ”

Before he could speak, the child was covered by his mother's mouth. The woman looked at the little Taoist priest and said in a trembling voice: "Official, children don't know anything, what does the official want to ask, just ask the slave family." ”

Wang Tuanlian said angrily: "Let go, the child won't lie, let him say." ”

The child was frightened and hid behind his mother, not daring to say anything.

The little Taoist priest asked softly, "What's your name?" ”

Seeing that he really didn't look like a bad person, the kid timidly replied, "I'm Gong Thirteen." ”

The little Taoist priest smiled slightly: "It turned out to be Little Thirteen." Little Thirteen said to his brother, who is the grandfather? Where to stay? If you say yes, my brother will give each of you a bowl of rice for each meal. ”

Perhaps because he was so hungry these days, Gong Shisan was overjoyed when he heard it: "You have to count what you say." ”

"Grandpa is grandpa, a grandfather who is very good to me. He lived in a dilapidated thatched hut in the east of the village. ”

"When I went to play with my grandfather a few days ago, my grandfather told me that if anyone asks about the white-clothed immortal, just say, just look for him, he knows."

The little Taoist priest was overjoyed and said to Wang Tuanlian's envoy: "Good students treat these Gong family members. The people who really committed the crime in the Gong family have already fled, and those who stay are the ones who have nothing to do with this matter. Although we can't wait for the court to summon them, we can't wait to release them, but there is no need to treat these innocent people badly. ”

Wang Tuanlian nodded yes.

The Gong family is in Hexi Village, not far from the county seat.

Together with Xu Ruoxue and the drunken Taoist, the little Taoist rode his horse to Hexi Village.

Because of the white-clothed Daxian Temple, Hexi Village is prosperous, and it seems that it is not much better than the county seat. And because of the white-clothed Daxian Temple, Hexi Village at this time was extremely depressed, and the doors of every house were closed, so there were no children even on the street.

East of the village? Broken thatched huts? The three of them searched for three rounds, but they didn't see the broken thatched house, and finally in desperation, they had to ask Xu Ruoxue to investigate.

After Xu Ruoxue returned, she said that there was originally a dilapidated thatched house under the big banyan tree in the east of the village, and an old man lived in it, who made a living by picking up rags. But two days ago it rained heavily, and the thatched hut was washed away, and the old man was gone.

I'll go! This hard-won clue is broken like this?

The little Taoist priest hurriedly went to the big banyan tree and went around, but there was nothing.

He was sighing, but Xu Ruoxue said, "Silence! There seems to be a snoring sound. ”

The little Taoist priest listened carefully, and sure enough, on the left side of the big banyan tree, in a pile of rotten cloths, there was a faint sound of snoring.

The little Taoist priest lifted the pile of rotten cloth and saw that an old man was sleeping inside, sleeping soundly.

The sun was shining, and the old man woke up. After rubbing his eyes and seeing the three people in front of him clearly, he was not surprised, and asked calmly, "Who is here?" ”

Just this question, it can be seen that this old man is extraordinary, but I don't know why he has fallen here.

The little Taoist priest arched his hand: "Zhang Tianyi, a Taoist priest of the poor Dao Tianyi faction, wants to ask Gong Gong about the white-clothed immortal." ”

Gong Lao was stunned: "Gong Gong, hey, I haven't heard this title for many years." Now in Hexi Village, I'm afraid that no two of you know, my surname is Gong. ”

"The old man's thatched house collapsed, and he is still waiting here, just waiting for someone from the court to come and ask the old man about the white-clothed immortal. God is pitiful, before the old man froze to death or starved to death, he finally waited. ”

The little Taoist priest stretched out his hand and said: "Gong Gong, poor Dao sees that there is a wine shop not far ahead, so please go and sit there." ”

Gong Lao nodded.

The little Taoist priest knocked on the door of the wine shop and threw a silver ingot first. The shopkeeper who said "no outsiders" immediately opened the store with joy.

It's just that before entering the kitchen, the shopkeeper glanced at Gong Lao strangely. I can't understand how this old beggar who doesn't go to Hexi Village has a relationship with a few nobles.

Seeing the wine and food on the table, the little Taoist priest was not in a hurry, and quietly waited for Gong Lao to run out. Gong Lao is not in a hurry, even if he is so thin that his skin is covered with bones, even if he is so hungry that his stomach is rumbling, but he still uses the meal slowly and methodically, and he is very personable!

This old man is not simple, he must have a story in him.

After using tea and rinsing his mouth, Gong Lao closed his eyes, tasted it for a while, and sighed: "It's been thirty years, and the old man has never eaten such a good meal again." ”

Speaking of this, a few tears fell from his eyes: "It's been thirty years! ”

The little Taoist priest asked: "Seeing that Gong Gong has an outstanding temperament, I think he is also a well-read and well-read, full-fledged person." But I don't know why, it's here? ”

Gong Lao was silent for a moment before he spoke.

This opening startled the little Taoist priest.

He said: "The old man is the eldest grandson of the Gong family, and he is the former head of the Gong family!" ”

What the! Because of the white-clothed immortals, the Gong family is not to mention in Xiaoshan County, but in Shaoxing Mansion, which is also second to none. And this Gong Lao, as the former head of the Gong family, how could he become a beggar in this Hexi Village?

Gong Lao sighed: "Everyone in the world thinks that the white-clothed Daxian Temple is dedicated to the white snake, but in fact, it is not, at the beginning, the white-clothed Daxian Temple was dedicated to people, or a woman. That person is the old man's aunt! ”

Ah, the little Taoist priest was even more surprised: "This, how is this possible?" ”

Gong Lao said: "This matter is a long story, the old man said slowly!" ”

"More than 100 years ago, the head of the Gong family was my grandfather. My grandfather had two sons and a daughter. The eldest son is my father, and that daughter is the former white-clothed fairy. ”

"Shaoxing has a very heavy literary style, and the children of my Gong family are also reading while farming. Helplessly, no one in the family has been able to enter the jinshi, and life is very embarrassing. When I finally arrived at my grandfather, the ancestral grave of my Gong family was smoking, and my grandfather not only did not say anything about the high school jinshi, but his official career has been smooth since then, and he has been the prefect of many places. My Gong family is very prosperous. ”

"My grandfather was in Wenzhou, and there was a Taoist temple near the mansion, which was a women's temple. At that time, my aunt had nothing to do, so she often went to Guanzhong to play. Because my aunt has been smart since she was a child and was born cute, she likes her very much. Among them, the contemplator is to teach what he has learned in his life, such as divination, drawing talismans, disasters and so on. ”

"When my aunt was seventeen years old, she married Liu Bingqing, a man from Shaoxing. After getting married, the husband and wife were very affectionate. Unexpectedly, within a year, her husband unfortunately passed away. When my aunt returned to her mother's house, she was so grieved that she swore to keep the festival for her deceased husband and not to marry again. Since then, she has been reciting vegetarian sutras in the boudoir all day long, and does not leave the house all year round. ”

"Two years later, one day, my aunt found a snake, a big white snake, outside her boudoir. How could a woman not be afraid of snakes, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to move. Strange to say, the big white snake swam to her feet and sniffed her, but it did not hurt her, and swam away on its own. ”

"Every two or three days after that, my aunt would see the big white snake. She was still scared at first, but later found out that this big white snake was actually extremely tame and never hurt anyone. And this white snake is snow-white all over, which is very cute. So slowly, my aunt was not afraid, and took some meat to feed the big white snake. After half a year, one person and one snake get along very well, like relatives. ”

"Naturally, this matter cannot be hidden. The maid of the family had seen my aunt playing with the white snake many times, and behaved very intimately. So rumors slowly spread in the house, saying that my aunt met a snake demon, was bewitched by the snake demon, and became the wife of the snake demon. ”

After this rumor spread, my grandfather was shocked, and secretly ran to take a look, and sure enough, he saw my aunt sleeping in the same bed with the white snake, and my aunt also touched the white snake and talked to it. My grandfather was furious, and immediately called the snake catcher, caught the white snake in a cloth bag, and picked up the hoe himself to be stoned to death. ”

"My aunt wept and fell to her knees, begging for the life of the white snake. The snake catcher also said that this white snake is a different species, with a gentle temperament, and will not hurt people, so it is a pity to kill it. My grandfather hesitated, thinking that my aunt was only in her early twenties, young and beautiful, but she had to stay widowed and lonely, which was desolate enough. She didn't do anything to damage the reputation of the family, but she liked to get along with snakes, so why force it to stop it. So my grandfather opened his eyes, closed his eyes, and let her go. ”

"My aunt is already proficient in Taoism, and she can read physiognomy, divination, draw talismans, cure diseases, and so on. So the people in the house have something to do, and they often go to my aunt, which is very effective. Slowly, the rumor changed again, saying that the white snake was not a snake demon, but a snake god. This snake god has profound mana, vast magical powers, omniscient, and omnipotent. And my aunt is the wife of the snake god, and she can borrow the magic power of this snake god, and she can also know everything and be omnipotent. ”

"The big white snake has become a snake god."
