Chapter 108: On the shore of the West Lake, the legend of the White Snake

Qiantang County is famous for West Lake.

In addition, it is very close to Yuhang Mansion and not very far from Gusu Mansion, so there are many people who come to play.

Some just come to play, but there are also many young ladies or scholars who come here, hoping to meet a good relationship.

After all, there has been no shortage of legends of talented and beautiful people by the West Lake since ancient times.

After Gu Ming and the three arrived in Qiantang, they did not go directly to the lake due to time constraints, but first played in the county seat.

After all, there are many famous places in the city.

Passing by an open-air tea stall, a storyteller was sitting on a stacked tea table and was foaming at the mouth:

"Let's say that the white lady is a white snake spirit who has cultivated for thousands of years......"

"Xu Xuan is a mortal fetus with the naked eye, how can he recognize the true body of the White Lady?

As soon as I met at the beginning of the year, I was hooked by the stunning charm of the white lady......"

As soon as he heard the words of the White Lady and Xu Xuan, Gu Ming suddenly couldn't take a step.

"Brother Gu?"

Ma Yun walked for a while, but found that Gu Ming didn't follow, so he walked back.

"Why don't you go shopping first, and I'll listen to this commentary."

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to like to listen to the story of the White Lady, which is widely spread in our Yuhang area......"

Since Gu Ming wanted to listen to the commentary, Ma Yun naturally accommodated him, called Xu Jiaying back, made three bowls of tea and sat down to listen together.

"Okay, let's talk about it here today, I want to hear what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown!"

I was hearing the highlights, but the storyteller stopped talking.

Routines, all routines.

Seeing Gu Ming's unfinished appearance, Ma Yun couldn't help but smile and said, "It's okay, I don't know how many times I've heard this story, why don't I tell it to you." ”

"Very good!" Gu Ming nodded with satisfaction.

So, while drinking tea, Ma Yun talked about the legend of the White Lady that circulated locally.

The legend of the White Lady has many versions in Gu Ming's previous life.

However, the most likable and widely disseminated version is undoubtedly the recognized classic drama version of "The Legend of the New White Lady".

The subsequent anime, White Snake: Origin, was also popular.

However, the version circulated in this world Gu Ming didn't like it very much, and it was far from the image of the white lady in his mind.

This version of the image of the White Lady has no trace of fairy spirit at all, and it still can't get rid of the shadow of the goblin.

In the end, he was easily suppressed by Fahai under the Leifeng Tower.

Of course, Gu Ming didn't like such an ending, so he made another decision in his heart: to write a "Legend of the White Snake" to correct the name of the White Lady.

Strive to make the legend of the White Snake a classic myth like in the previous life, and let the White Lady become a fairy-like existence in the minds of the people.

In the evening, the three of them went to the restaurant for a few drinks together, and then returned to the inn to rest.

Gu Ming had long been accustomed to sleeping after midnight, and began to read when he was idle.

After all, he was determined to win the township test this time, so after coming to Yuhang Mansion, in addition to daily tasks, he spent almost all of his free time reading books attentively.

Nothing was said all night.

After dawn, Gu Ming and the three of them had breakfast, chatted for a while, and then walked to West Lake.

It's still early, and there aren't many tourists by the lake.

Speaking of which, Gu Ming also swam the West Lake in his previous life. However, compared with the West Lake in the previous life and the West Lake in this primitive scenery, it is really far behind.

The sky is clear, and the smoke is misty.

There are fishing boats on the lake, and there are also some early risers paddling.

In addition, the lotus leaves in the lake are swaying, and the fish are playing, which adds a little charm.

For a while, Gu Ming's poetry was so enthusiastic that he couldn't help but chant a poem:

"The water is shining and sunny, and the mountains are empty and rainy.

If you want to compare West Lake to Xizi, light makeup is always appropriate. ”

As soon as the poem came out, he suddenly let Ma Yun and Xu Jiaying stroke their palms.

"With Brother Gu's literary talent, it must not be difficult to win this time. In the future, if you take the Jinshi exam, it will really soar. ”

"Yes, yes, when Brother Gu soars in the future, don't forget about us."

Gu Mingle said: "Inherit the two brothers Tai Jiyan. However, even if Xiaosheng really won the jinshi, he didn't want to be an official. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Ma Yun and the others couldn't help but look at each other.

Isn't it just to seek fame and fame, so that you can enter the career of glory and glory of your ancestors?

"Could it be that Brother Gu is worried about the sinister career?"

Xu Jiaying couldn't help but ask.

"That's right, once you enter the official career, where can you still be as free as you are now?"

Hearing this, Ma Yun couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Gu is really extraordinary. Actually, Xiaosheng doesn't want to be an official, he just wants to take the exam to seek fame, and then take care of the family's business......"

While chatting, the three of them walked around the lake, and before they knew it, it was noon.

At this time, the flow of people increased significantly.

"Brother Gu, in front of you is the famous broken bridge, which is the place where the White Lady and Xu Xuan met as mentioned in the commentary."

"Oh, that's got to see."

The broken bridge is not a half-broken bridge, but a quaint bluestone arch bridge, and there are pavilions at both ends of the bridge.

It is said that this bridge was originally just a simple wooden bridge, and later a couple surnamed Duan funded the construction of a bluestone arch bridge, hence the name Duanjia Bridge.

Later, for some reason, the name became the world-famous Broken Bridge.

There are many legends about this bridge, in addition to various folk myths and stories, there are also many literati who write words here.

The bridge was full of people, and most of them were tourists, except for a few people who were in a hurry.

From time to time, I can hear the voices of some scholars chanting poems.

Some are indeed poetic, and some are probably peacocks, hoping to attract a certain lady and pass on a good story.

When I walked in the middle of the bridge, I suddenly met an acquaintance: Niu Huayue.

There were also two people accompanying him, one was a scholar he had seen in the inn, and the other was dressed in a somewhat peculiar way, which seemed to be a strange way, and should belong to the category of Jianghu warlocks.

"Bad luck, why is this guy here?"

Xu Jiaying couldn't help frowning.

Ma Yun smiled: "Hehe, it doesn't matter, it's just a big deal to say hello, and it's not the same way." ”

At this time, Niu Huayue also found Gu Ming and the others, his eyebrows moved, and he couldn't help but walk over obliquely.

"It's really where you don't meet in life, I didn't expect such a coincidence to meet three benevolent brothers on this broken bridge."

In terms of Niu Huayue's personality, it is really rare to be so active and polite.

"Yes, I didn't expect Niu Gongzi to come to the lake with this Yaxing."

Xu Jiaying said lukewarmly.

"West Lake is famous all over the world, and it is rare to come to Yuhang Mansion once, so naturally you have to visit more."

"Hehe, what Niu Gongzi said is reasonable...... If it's okay, I'll take my leave! ”

Unexpectedly, Niu Huayue smiled: "Since we met here, it is better to talk about it again......"

Speaking of this, Niu Huayue glanced at Gu Ming and continued: "Recently, I heard that many people mentioned this Brother Gu, saying that Brother Gu can not only write books, but also hunt ghosts and demons, I don't know if it's true or not? ”

"It's just a rumor, Niu Gongzi doesn't have to take it seriously." Gu Ming responded lightly.

"Hehe, why is Brother Gu so humble? By the way, I would like to introduce you to ......"

Niu Huayue turned around and pointed to the man in the clothes of the rivers and lakes who was accompanying him: "This Master Fang is famous in the rivers and lakes, and he is good at Qimen gossip, not to mention exorcism and demon exorcism.

Since Gu Gongzi also knows some techniques, why don't you communicate with Master Fang? ”

This so-called Master Fang, whose real name is Fang Datong, claims to be proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia, can deduce the heavenly machine, and change the life of people against the sky.

If you want to say that the rivers and lakes are famous, it is nothing more than putting gold on your face. However, it is indeed a little famous in the area of Yuhang Mansion.

Niu Huayue was also introduced to him, and spent a lot of money to ask Fang Datong to change his luck, hoping that he could be successfully lifted this time.

Speaking of which, this is a norm.

Every time there is a scientific examination, many scholars will run to pray to God and worship Buddha in order to have peace of mind.

"I'm sorry, Xiaosheng is just a scholar, I don't know what the art of the rivers and lakes is, say goodbye!"

Gu Ming lazily accosted the other party, arched his hand and strode away.

At this moment, Niu Huayue's face turned red with anger.

After all, I am always used to being held by people on weekdays, and I have already developed a high-minded and commanding personality.

At the same time, Fang Datong was also a little secretly unhappy.

In fact, at first, he was a little dissatisfied with Niu Huayue's assertive behavior.

Anyway, he's also a bit of a famous person, what is there to communicate with an unknown person? Plunges!

How do you know that Gu Ming didn't look at it, he said that he would leave, and he said that he would say anything about the art of the rivers and lakes, which meant to look down on him?

Niu Huayue saw Fang Datong's gloomy face, and couldn't help but sneer secretly, and took the opportunity to instigate: "Master Fang, this son is so arrogant, he doesn't put you and me in his eyes at all, why don't you teach him a lesson?" ”

"Hmph, Yellowmouth Child!"

After this agitation, Fang Wei couldn't help but turn around and snort coldly, pinched a trick with his fingers, and silently recited two incantations at Gu Ming's back.

This spell is called the "Soul Loss Curse", and once you are under the spell, you will lose your mind and do something abnormal, like a madman.

Fang Wei's move was to make Gu Ming make a fool of himself in public, which could be regarded as a small lesson.

Here, Gu Ming was walking, and suddenly he knew the sea......

"What's wrong with Brother Wen Xing?"

Xu Jiaying saw Gu Ming suddenly pause, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"It's probably someone plotting against me behind my back!"

Gu Ming replied with a cold face, and slowly turned around.

"Huh?"

Xu Jiaying and the others were taken aback.

"Huh?"

At the same moment, Fang Datong was also a little surprised: This kid didn't get hit?

It shouldn't be!

At this time, Gu Ming had already strode back.

At first, he was just a little suspicious, but when he turned around and looked at Fang Datong's expression, there was nothing to suspect.

Want to play, right?

Then play bigger!

"Master Fang, this kid is a bit evil, give him some power to see."

Niu Huayue was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and he instigated again.

This kid has always been conceited, but last time he lost face in public at the inn, he naturally wanted to win back a game and make Gu Ming lose face in public.

"Boy, I didn't think you still had some skills."

Fang Datong narrowed his eyes, with a high-minded tone.

"There's more you can't think of."

"Arrogance! If you give you three points of color, you want to open a dyeing room? ”

Fang Datong snorted coldly, raised his palm and slapped the void a few times......

The action seems to be careless, but this is already one of his stunts, called the Sleepy Demon Seal.

Whether it's a human, a ghost, or a demon, once this seal is cast, it will trap the other person in a square inch and can't get out.

At that time, it will become meat on the chopping board, and you can clean it up as you want......
