Chapter 388: The Origin of the White Snake
Speaking of this legend about the white snake also has a very interesting story, the earliest legend about the white snake was in the late Tang Dynasty, the late Tang Dynasty has begun to have a story about the white snake prototype, and the name of Hangzhou was also named in the Sui Dynasty, that is to say, what Leifeng Tower, broken bridge or something behind are added after artistic processing.
If you insist on saying that the West Lake where this story occurred is also true, this story is based on the fact that it happened in Jiyuan County, where there is also a West Lake, this West Lake is not the West Lake, the West Lake here means the meaning of the west of Hanoi Province, the Tang Dynasty Jiyuan Taoism flourished, known as "the first cave in the world", it can be described as three miles and a nunnery, five miles and a view, and Buddhism began to compete with Taoism for territory after entering the Central Plains, and Wangwu Mountain is also a place to fight, the White Snake is a mythical story produced by the two religions, and the big snake is also known as a python, At that time, the water of the West Lake in Jiyuan County mainly came from the east and west two rivers, the same sound as the python, and these two rivers were praised by Taoism as the god of blasphemy, the green snake and the white snake in the legend of the white snake alluded to these two rivers, which was mainly the story of Buddhism slandering Taoism, although the Buddha played the image of the wicked man in one of them, but it was never just a demon to eliminate the demon, that is, it was too rigid, but the green snake and the white snake were flooded with gold, turning the surrounding thousands of miles into Zeguo, the flood was monstrous, the dead and injured innocent, which is more important and which is more important makes people clear at a glance.
This story is really widely spread in the back, which is greasy people are unwilling, and do not dare to interject, later Hangzhou West Lake is famous all over the world, there is also a West Lake in the story, so after the slow story was spread into the story of Hangzhou, and then there are broken bridges, Leifeng Pagoda, Jinshan Temple and so on.
At this time, Li Xing turned into a white-clothed scholar and walked into Hangzhou, according to the definition of the story, it should be the Northern Song Dynasty at this time, Hangzhou is praised as the reputation of the world's beautiful scenery out of Western Hangzhou, strolling on the street and looking at the pedestrians on both sides of the street Li Xing is also a sense of relaxation and joy filled his heart, of course, the early stage is better if there is no demonic spirit in the city.
There are not many demons that appear in the movie, the first one to appear is the Snow Girl in red, followed by the bat demon, and then the fox demon in the whole town, fox poison is rampant, as for the rest are all demons with the green snake and white snake all the way, and they haven't even done the transformation, such as rabbits, turtles, mice, toads, and roosters.
And Li Xing's main target when he came to this illusory realm was the green snake and the white snake, and if possible, Fahai would also take it away, these three were the biggest treasures in this illusory realm.
"It's such a coincidence, I didn't expect that today is still the Dragon Boat Festival, no wonder it's so lively." Li Xing looked at the crowd and said with emotion, compared with the high technology of modern society, Li Xing likes the excitement of this era even more, people come and go, laughter.
Just as he was about to walk, Li Xing suddenly thought that this time should be the beginning of the plot, Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen came to the world to look for Xu Xian.
"You're so bold! Dare to come at this time, and I am not afraid that my human race will accept you. ”
Thinking of this, Li Xing chuckled, his consciousness was released, and he slowly searched for the protagonists in the crowd, remembering that the bat demon was also going to come out to join in the fun at this time!
A small river runs through the whole town, all the street buildings are built around the river, there are many lanterns, snacks, juggling on the street, adults and children are also full of laughter, beautiful boats on the river from time to time, there are flower boats, there are also some merchant ships, and some are full of all kinds of colorful lanterns, which makes people dazzled.
Li Xing walked through the crowd, holding all kinds of snacks in his hands, and there was no way to look for the protagonist and others, which was rare to enjoy.
But there are many things in the world that are so coincidental, Li Xing suddenly smelled a warm and cool fishy smell, and Li Xing was extremely sensitive to this kind of smell.
"Snakes?"
Looking up, I saw a woman in Tsing Yi standing beside the river, and a little monk in monk clothes was standing beside her.
These two should be Xiaoqing and Nengren Monk.
"Be careful!" Nengren looked at the compass pointer that kept shaking in his palm and subconsciously blocked the pedestrians on the side, but what he didn't know was that the reason why the compass was shaking was because of Xiaoqing next to him.
Xiaoqing also looked puzzled, she didn't know the monk in front of her, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong." ”
"There's a demon!" After speaking, he looked around.
Seeing that the little monk said that there was a demon, but he didn't recognize himself, Xiaoqing smiled slyly and asked Nengren on the side, "There is a demon?" How do you know there's a demon? ”
"I'm an expert! Of course I do. ”
Hearing Nengren say that he was an expert, and that the expert in this period was a demon hunter, Xiaoqing's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his fingers suddenly stretched out into a cyan spike and placed it on the back of Nengnin's head, and asked in a dark voice: "Then how are you going to get rid of demons?" ”
Nengren didn't seem to notice the danger coming, so he turned around and said to Xiaoqing: "Don't be so loud, the demon is nearby, I have been with the master for a long time, and the master said that these demons must be eliminated today." ”
Xiaoqing's heart is still relatively kind, put away the spikes in his hand and asked suspiciously: "Why do you have to get rid of these demons?" ”
"Demons hurt people!" It is natural to be able to bear the answer, the demons are not separated, the demons harm people, and the people have to catch the demons.
Xiaoqing was obviously dissatisfied with Neng's endurable answer, and continued to ask, "What about the demon that doesn't hurt people?" Are you going to get rid of them too? ”
Nengren never thought about these questions, and said a little confused: "I don't know." ”
"Would you make friends with them?"
"Of course not." This time the answer was very firm.
"Why?"
"The master just taught me how to get rid of demons, but didn't teach me how to be friends with demons." Nengcan scratched and said helplessly.
Seeing this, Xiaoqing shook his head and said, "If it wasn't your master's problem, it must be your master's master's problem." ”
This answer made Nengren endure a burst of novelty, turned his head and asked quickly, "Then why isn't it my problem?" ”
"Because you'll have no problem." Xiaoqing replied with a smile.
Xiaoqing's answer made Nengren extremely excited, and no one had ever praised himself so much, and said with a smirk: "You really have vision, you are too wise, I have made up your friend." ”
And Xiaoqing stepped forward after hearing this, quickly hugged Nengjiao's neck and said, "My name is Qingqing"
