Chapter 22: The White Snake and the Green Snake
In mid-May, the summer is approaching, and the business of the small tea shop by the post station outside Zhenjiang City has soared. Travelers from the south to the north will stop when they go here, wipe their sweat profusely, and drink a large pot of herbal tea to suppress the heat of their bodies.
The same is true today, the owner of the tea shop, an elderly rickety old man, saw that there was a figure in the distance, so he hurriedly called his little granddaughter, asking her to wipe the old wooden table again, ready to welcome the guests.
However, the ten-year-old girl answered, and after doing what she said, she quickly ran outside the tea shop and shouted to the two figures who were getting closer and closer: "Two guest officers, the weather is hot, come and drink a cup of herbal tea to extinguish the fire...... Yikes! ”
The little girl's exclamation attracted the attention of her grandfather, and the owner of the tea shop thought that he had met a strong man who was difficult to deal with, so he hurriedly came out of the tea shop and prepared to protect the little granddaughter, but after taking a closer look, he was also stunned in place: he had never seen such a traveler!
There were two travelers, both women. One person is dressed in a white shirt, and the other is covered in a green skirt. Between the skirts and sleeves that accompany the walking, the moving figures of the two are revealed: if the shoulders are cut, the waist is about to be plain, and the curves are curvaceous! Take a closer look, the appearance of the two is also unusual: the eyebrows in the green skirt are like smoke, and the charm of the look is flowing, which makes people quietly intoxicated, and the one in the white shirt is bright and dignified, graceful and generous, as if the goddess is in the world, which is admirable!
Such a beauty, even the old man who has no youthful heart is admired in his heart: two stunning beauties!
But after the admiration, the old man's heart sank: not to mention the temperament that ordinary people can't raise, but when you look at these two women walking alone in the mountains, you know that they are not ordinary characters! At least the old man has never seen anyone who came out of the mountain road at this time without a single sweat stain!
At this time, the two stunning women, one green and one white, had already walked in front of the tea shop, and the little girl who was taken by the other party's appearance looked up at the two of them in a daze, and couldn't help but say: "The two sisters are so beautiful!" ”
The corner of the woman's mouth curled, and she reached out and touched the top of the little girl's head: "Good boy!" Really talkative! ”
The little girl blinked: "The voice is also good!" Sister, are you a fairy? ”
The woman in Tsing Yi suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, don't praise anymore!" My sister is drinking some tea at your place, is it okay? ”
"Hey!" The little girl nodded happily and was about to turn around to get the tea.
The woman in Tsing Yi said again: "But I have a request, I want to bring new tea sets, don't use those dirty tea sets used by others!" ”
The little girl suddenly stopped, embarrassed. How can there be new tea sets in this small tea shop at this station? It's hard to be able to rinse the tea set with stream water constantly, where to find a new one?
"Didn't you? Then we won't be drinking tea here. ”
The woman in Tsing Yi was about to turn around and leave as she spoke, but was stopped by the woman in white beside her.
"Xiaoqing! Don't mess around! The woman in white reprimanded softly, and then turned to the old man who was looking here: "Uncle, just make a pot of tea according to the usual rules, I'm sorry for you!" ”
The old man answered, and hurriedly beckoned the little girl to prepare. Oh, although the woman in white said that it was according to the usual rules, the grandfather and grandson still rinsed the two large bowls that had been washed in the stream three or four times before pouring new tea and sending them over.
The corner of the woman in Tsing Yi, who had already entered the tea shop, curled her mouth, very proud. The woman in white frowned and shouted, "Xiaoqing!" It's all you who cause trouble to others! ”
"Sister!" The woman in Tsing Yi had a straight face and said solemnly: "Xu Guanren said, let me take care of you along the way!" If Xu Guanren were here, he would definitely say the same! ”
As soon as the three words of Xu Guanren came out, the woman in white was suddenly helpless, and could only say lightly: "I can't do this in the future." ”
"Yes!" The woman in Tsing Yi responded verbally, but looking at her expression, she knew that she definitely didn't take it seriously. The woman in white could only shake her head in her heart, and made up her mind to take care of it more for a while.
Speaking of which, it should be understood that these two women are the White Snake and the Green Snake, that is, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing.
At this time, Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian have been married for more than a month, and even Xiaoqing has experienced the matter of stealing the treasury silver to Xu Xian to open a medical hall for Xu Xian, and the three of them have just reunited in Suzhou and reopened the security hall of the medical hall. However, Xu Xian thought about it and decided that in addition to opening a security hall in Suzhou, he also opened a branch of a security hall in Zhenjiang, after all, the distance between the two places is not too far, and it is a good thing to treat more people.
It stands to reason that as the man in charge, Xu Xian should run the matter of opening a branch of the hospital, but Suzhou Baoan Tang has just opened and there is a shortage of manpower, so Xu Xian, the attending doctor, really can't leave, so Bai Suzhen, who is dedicated to sharing her husband's worries, volunteered to lead Xiaoqing to Zhenjiang to see the situation and make some preparations.
So when the little girl brought the tea, Bai Suzhen stopped her and began to inquire about the situation in Zhenjiang. The little girl naturally knew everything, and said everything she could think of, and in the end, she advanced the immortal Linfan who caused a big sensation in Zhenjiang a month ago.
"Immortals?" Xiao Qing, who had been listening, was extremely surprised: "How could the Heavenly Court Immortal suddenly come to the world?" ”
"It's not heaven's, it's earthly!" The little girl corrected while thinking carefully: "The immortal said that he lacked mana, so he could only be an immortal!" However, the immortal chief and the immortal are not the same? ”
Xiaoqing suddenly realized: "It turned out to be those nosy stinky Taoist priests!" ”
"Xiaoqing!" Bai Suzhen scolded and said to the little girl with a suspicious face: "Thank you for telling us so much." As she spoke, she pulled out a small piece of silver.
The little girl, who had always received three or five copper coins, was overjoyed, and she couldn't care about Xiaoqing's strange reaction, so she took the broken silver and left.
"Xiaoqing! Don't talk nonsense! Bai Suzhen scolded angrily: "If people know, it will be a disaster!" ”
"If you know, you know! Is this girl still afraid of those stinky Taoist priests? Xiaoqing's neck straightened, and she was very stubborn: "The people of Longhu Mountain are not coming down, how can there be any ability?" ”
The Great Song Dynasty was weak and its luck was reduced, which was something that could be seen by any practitioner of the Tao, and in order to avoid the catastrophe of the change of dynasties from implicating themselves, the practitioners would close the mountain gate and practice in retreat. Even the Dragon and Tiger Mountain, which has been enshrined as a Heavenly Master for generations, will not be unable to get along with the general trend at this time, unless there is a peerless demon devouring a catastrophe in the world, it will not come down the mountain lightly.
"It doesn't work either! If you talk like that again, sooner or later your life will be ruined! Bai Suzhen's expression became more severe, and the anger in her bright eyes was churning, and she kept shouting: "What's more, cultivators are not only Longhu Mountain!" There is no shortage of masters in casual cultivation! There are also great monks of Buddhism! is so rampant, how can it achieve positive results! ”
When Xiaoqing saw Bai Suzhen's appearance, she immediately knew that her sister was really angry. Although she can do something in the name of Xu Xian, when it comes to major matters, she is absolutely obedient to Bai Suzhen, so she hurriedly bowed her head and admitted her mistake.
"Sister, I was wrong, I will never say such things again!"
Seeing her like this, Bai Suzhen could only suppress her anger and sighed: "Xiaoqing, you and I are both demon cultivators, and the road is difficult. I was fortunate to have my teacher come and be able to walk on the right path, which was also trembling and walking on thin ice. You have already taken the wrong path, and if you can no longer cultivate yourself, your journey will be even more difficult in the future! Alas, I hope that when the time comes, I will be able to resist one or two for you! ”
Needless to say, the sisterly love contained in these words was hot, Xiaoqing's heart was hot, and she immediately said sincerely: "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely remember it!" ”
Seeing this, Bai Suzhen felt a little relieved, and didn't say more, she could only secretly mention it in the future, so that Xiaoqing could be cautious in her words and deeds.
But to be honest, she actually had doubts in her heart, if it weren't for the karma of her previous life, she would never have gone down the mountain at this time. Which sect or sect is that Taoist priest known as Immortal Chief, or which side of the loose cultivation chooses to go down the mountain at this time?
"Sister, did you say that the Taoist priest left Zhenjiang?" Xiaoqing asked, "If it's still there, will it be bad for us to open a medical center?" ”
Bai Suzhen didn't expect this yet, but when she heard the words at this time, her heart was even more chilling.
"I practice the righteous way, and my cultivation can be regarded as profound, so the Taoist priest should not see through my true body lightly. But Xiaoqing's cultivation is still shallow, and he has embarked on a crooked path at the beginning, but he is afraid that the Taoist priest will be exposed when he sees it! How is this good? ”
When she was worried, she suddenly realized something and looked up at the tea shop. Seeing this, Xiaoqing also turned her head to look. But after a moment, a young man walked slowly from the mountain road.
This young man has good facial features and elegant temperament, but he has a short head, and the clothes on his body are also a little nondescript: it is neither the regular clothes of ordinary people, nor the gorgeous clothes of high-ranking officials and nobles, but a trimmed plain robe, which is vaguely similar to a Taoist robe!
When Xiaoqing saw it, she couldn't help laughing: "Sister, look, this person is dressed so strangely!" ”
Bai Suzhen didn't mean to laugh, she only had one thing to say at the moment: I'm really afraid of something!
