Qinghua came to the island, just stopped, was looking around, but saw a peach sapling that had just broken the ground, blue and white calm, blue and white did not move, blue and white stared at the peach sapling that had just broken the ground, and then a fish jumped, ran to the small peach sapling that had just broken the ground, raised his head, lowered his head, poked out the letter, retracted the letter, after several temptations, it smelled a breath that had never been smelled, it was fairy, it was fairy, blue and white were ecstatic, a hundred years, it looked forward to a hundred years, how many days and nights, How many storms, how many lightning and thunder, there is a lot of hard work to explain, today, he finally saw hope.

••••••

The little green snake told such a bizarre story at the feet of Jin Wansheng, and it didn't impress Jin Wansheng, several times, Jin Wansheng wanted to interrupt him and say the doubts in his heart, but when he saw that the little green snake was engrossed and fell into the obsession of the past time, and couldn't bear to interrupt him, suddenly, there was a rumbling sound outside, and the little green snake immediately stopped talking, but pricked up his ears to listen, and after a while, he asked Jin Wansheng; "Master, what's the sound outside?"

Jin Wansheng replied; "I'm not your master, is there a sound outside, you should know that the river is rising, and it's a big tide, that's why there is such a big movement."

After saying this, Jin Wansheng asked the little green snake; "You just told me so much, why don't I have anything to do with me?"

The little green snake said; "It doesn't matter, you are the great monk of Jiangliu, you are my master, those things happened to you, at that time, you led me to Penglai Immortal Island, He Xiangu on the island, loved you, and secretly ate purple fairy grass for you, she said that you can live a hundred years old if you eat this grass, and you really lived more than a hundred years old."

"Wait, you can really make it up, where is this, forget it, I won't entangle with you, I'm leaving."

Jin Wansheng got up from the white jade bed and got up to leave, but the little green snake gently grabbed his trouser leg and said; "Master, wait, I've been talking for a long time, the most important thing is that I haven't told you yet, you don't miss this moment, and when I finish talking to you, it's not too late for you to leave."

Jin Wansheng asked; "What else do you have to say?"

The little green snake said; "May I ask the master, why did you keep that peach tree at home, do you know that she is a fairy peach?"

Jin Wansheng replied; "I just think there's something weird about her."

The little green snake asked; "How did that peach tree get to your house?"

Jin Wansheng said; "You should know, otherwise how would you come to my house!"

The little green snake said; "The master didn't know, the lightning and thunder in the sky that day was to destroy the peach tree, which means that the heavens already knew that she had arrived in the mortal world, how could the things in the sky stay in the mortal world, so it must be that the Jade Emperor sent the thunder male lightning mother to the lower realm with lightning strikes, with fire, to destroy this immortal peach, at that time, if we are not non-dragon creatures do not hide, the thunder and lightning will definitely kill us, so I was so frightened that I hid in the cave, and when the lightning and thunder passed, I thought it was safe. When I went out to see the little peach tree, she was gone, and when you came to cut the reeds, I smelled the peach blossoms on you, and then I followed you to your house. ”

Jin Wansheng listened to the little green snake's explanation and asked puzzledly; "Why did you hurt that little peach tree?"

The little green snake said; "Didn't I mean to hurt her?"

Jin Wansheng asked busily; "That's why, in fact you've hurt her."

The little green snake said; "I didn't want to hurt her, I wanted to eat her."

"Why did you eat her?"

"You told me, as long as I eat the peach pit of this little peach tree, I can turn a snake into a snake."

The late student listened to the words of the little green snake and immediately defended it; "When did I tell you that?"

The little green snake said; "Of course you said it, master, and you still risked violating the rules of heaven to say it."

Listening to the words of the little green snake, Jin Wansheng couldn't cry or laugh, he felt that he was entangled with the little green snake, and hurriedly said; "I can't tell you clearly, anyway, you recognized the wrong person, I'm not your master, but I can tell you, from now on, I won't allow you to hurt the little peach tree again."

The little green snake asked; "Then after she bears a peach, can you give me one?"

Jin Wansheng said without even thinking about it; "Absolutely."

Listening to Jin Wansheng's words, the little green snake immediately twisted his body and said; "Thank you, master, not only will I not hurt her in the future, but I will also help you take care of him."

Jin Wansheng said; "That's good, I'm leaving."

The little green snake said; "Slow, master, although you don't recognize me, I firmly believe that you are my master, in order to prove this, please explain something to me, and I will help you do it."

"Why? Why? Why are you helping me with things? Jin Wansheng was puzzled.

"Why am I! I'm because, because, I'm going to prove that you're my master, otherwise, how can you explain the dragon whip on your arm, it's my master's thing. ”

"I don't have any dragon whip!"

At this time, the whip mark on Jin Wansheng's arm was gone, so Jin Wansheng was very confident in speaking out.

The little green snake was not convinced, he asked Jin Wansheng; "Since you are not my master, why can you submit me, and," said the little green snake began to shake his head, and then continued; "I'll ask you two questions, you have to tell me the truth, and then, I can prove that you are my master."

Jin Wansheng said; "Okay, you ask, I'll tell you the truth."

The little green snake asked; "How old are you?"

Jin Wansheng said; "I'm just eighteen."

The little green snake shook his head and asked again; "What about your parents?"

Jin Wansheng said; "My aunt died when she gave birth, and my father was swept away by the flood three years ago, and I haven't seen anyone alive or dead, and I have searched several times, but I haven't found it."

The little green snake said; "Okay, I'll help you find your Abba, and let him help me prove that you are my master."

When Jin Wansheng heard that the little green snake could help him find his Abba, he immediately became happy, and thought to himself, could it be that my Abba didn't die, but was swept away by the flood somewhere else, but, that's not right, no matter where Abba was swept to, he should come back to me, thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask the little green snake; "Do you know where my Abba is?"

The little green snake shook its head and replied; "No, no, I'm going to spend some time looking for it."

Listening to the words of the little green snake, Jin Wansheng couldn't help but be a little deflated, and he couldn't help but let the little green snake look for it, after thinking about it, he had to say; "Then we'll make up our minds, as long as you can help me find my Abba, I'll admit that what you say makes sense."

Jin Wansheng didn't admit that he was the master of the little green snake, he only said that what he said made sense, but he kept a hand, because he really didn't believe that he could be the master of the little green snake, the most important thing is that whether this little green snake can find Abba, it is still unknown, he has searched for it countless times, but he has not found it. Although he was not discouraged, he felt that it was difficult to find Abba, but fortunately, this little green snake took the initiative to help him find Abba, perhaps, Jin Wansheng just thought of this, and couldn't help but feel a stir again, could it be that this little green snake has another purpose, what should he do?

Jin Wansheng hesitated, but the little green snake asked; "You live in Zhangwan Village, why is your surname Jin?"

Jin Wansheng replied; "I don't know, you should ask me Abba."

The little green snake asked again; "Is there a land temple in your Zhangwan Village?"

Jin Wansheng said; "Yes, don't look at our Zhangwan Village, there are not many people, but the Degong Temple is very prosperous, after the nearby people give birth, they will go to the Degong Temple to write the child's name in the book, I don't know why?"

The little green snake said; "When you were born, did your Abba also come to register you?"

Jin Wansheng replied; "I don't know, Abba didn't tell me."

The little green snake asked; "Didn't you go and see it yourself?"

Jin Wansheng said; "No, besides, I don't know why I was born there to register."

The little green snake said; "Let me tell you, what's going on, or in the previous dynasty, there was a scholar not far from here, named Zhang Fude, who was smart and filial piety since he was a child, successful in reading, and had adventures when he entered Beijing to catch the exam, so he was less than thirty years old and became an official of the imperial court, and when he was thirty-six years old, he was promoted to the chief of the imperial court in charge of taxation. When he was the chief tax officer of the imperial court, he would play the court in time in case of floods and droughts, and reduce taxes for the people, and he did a lot of good deeds when he was an official, so there was no one among the people who did not say that he was good, this Zhang Fude and you also have a great relationship, that day, he entered Beijing to catch the exam, on the way through our Jialan Temple, saw me appear but did not panic, the second day the master asked him, what did you see, he said that he saw a dragon, the master was reciting scriptures, telling him that he was still in the Jialan Temple to study for half a month, before he could go, He listened to the master's words, and sure enough, he studied in the monastery for half a month, and since then he has formed a Buddhist relationship, so he went to the capital in one fell swoop high school, and later became the tax officer, during this period, he also came to see the master, at that time, the master stroked his head, and muttered words in his mouth, one hundred and two, one hundred and two, Zhang Fu didn't know what he meant at the time, and it wasn't until he was one hundred and one years old that he realized what was going on, so he told his son in advance that he would die next year, and he was not allowed to be buried after his death, but he could only recite the Diamond Sutra at home to surpass him, Zhang Defu instructed his son to stop talking, but went to Jialan Temple, wanted to see the master you before dying, somehow, you didn't see him, he was very regretful, in the temple for more than a month, and finally did not see, then left Jialan Temple, returned home to bathe and change clothes, three days later, he faced south, smiling and passed away, that day happened to be his 102nd birthday.

Three days after Zhang Fu's death, his appearance remained the same, the smile on his face became more and more kind, and the children of the family did not bury him according to his will, but kept it secret, and the incense continued, and always enshrined him in his dying house.

It was a coincidence, not far from their home, there was also a poor scholar, surnamed Ji Mingtian, there was no ridge of land at home, only two thatched huts and an old mother, others were poor, Ji Tian made a living by chopping firewood every day, for the old mother, serving filial piety, he went into the mountains to chop firewood during the day, and read at night, on this day he returned from chopping firewood in the mountains, and happened to meet Zhang Fude who came back from the incense on the Jialan Temple.
