Chapter 1: The White Snake Lady
On the day I was born, there was a torrential downpour of rain and thunder in our village. The heavy rain is not seen in a hundred years. Not to mention the large area of crops and houses, many villagers were drowned.
But my family did not suffer.
Because when the water first rose in my house, a lot of snakes suddenly gushed out from all directions.
There are hundreds of them, some large and some small, and the thickest one is as thick as an adult man's waist, which looks very scary.
But instead of biting, the snakes killed my parents, midwives, and grandfather.
Even the valuable items of the house are carried out.
My mom hadn't given birth to me yet.
The snakes carried our family safely to a high ground. Then all the snakes were erected, like pilgrimages, and they all brushed in the direction of my mother, solemnly bowing and worshipping.
Coincidentally, after the hundreds of snakes bowed to my mother three times and nine times, I fell to the ground.
But when I landed, I startled everyone.
When I was born, my neck and body were covered with scales, even though they were white.
But how can an ordinary child grow scales?
Looking around at the scattered snakes, the midwife shouted in fright: "Old man, my wife has delivered babies for most of her life, and she has never seen such a strange newborn, I am afraid that she gave birth to a demon fetus!" ”
"This kind of demon fetus is harmful to others and yourself, so you better lose it quickly."
After saying this, the midwife ran away, and she didn't dare to take the money from the birth.
If it were someone else's, maybe it would really lose me, after all, she was born so weird and a girl.
But my parents have been married for many years and finally have me, and in the end they are still reluctant.
But I never thought that not long after our family returned, people from the village would come to the door.
It turned out that everyone watched the black snakes pouring out of my house, and heard the vision of the midwife afterwards.
The loss of every family in the village is not small, and many people are washed away by the flood.
But my family is fine, so they insist that I am a demon fetus, and this flood is caused by me.
Everyone demanded that I be sent away, or else the whole family would be kicked out.
In those days, it wasn't like now when you could live anywhere. If they were driven out of the village and had no land to grow crops, they would starve to death.
In the end, under the maneuvering of my grandfather, the villagers agreed to invite Chen Zhuanzi, a famous yin-yang gentleman from the next township, to come and show me.
If you're sure I'm the demon who brought the water, send me away.
If not, don't embarrass our family again.
After deciding on this, my father went to invite Chen Operator the next day.
As soon as Chen Operator heard this, he asked me about my birthday, and immediately followed my grandfather to our house.
He first looked at me carefully for a long time, and then carefully looked at the scales on my body. Then he spoke: "This kid is not a demon fetus. She was chosen by the White Snake Lady, so there were so many snakes when she was born to save your family. This is a great blessing in her life. As for the heavy rain, it was a natural disaster, and it had nothing to do with this child. ”
Hearing this, my grandfather, as well as my parents, breathed a sigh of relief.
My grandfather even took out the money that had been prepared a long time ago and wanted to thank Chen Operator.
After all, what he said was equivalent to saving our family.
But who would have thought that Chen Zhuanzi refused my grandfather's money, but said with a serious expression: "But this child, your family still can't keep it." ”
Hearing this, my mom was the first to be unhappy.
My grandfather and my father were also puzzled: "Daxian, since this child is not a demon fetus, why can't he keep it?" ”
"Although this child is not a demon fetus, he is the one who was chosen by the White Snake Niangniang. Her life will be full of disasters and difficulties, and it will be extremely bumpy. Only by breaking away from the mortal world and entering my Xuanmen to practice can she be safe and sound all her life. Otherwise, she will have a small calamity every three years, a major calamity every five years, and by the time she is twelve years old, she will die, that is, she will not survive for one round. ”
"Then if she enters the Xuanmen, will she be able to live?" My mom asked.
"Yes." Chen Operator replied with great certainty: "Although entering the Xuanmen will be widowed, widowed, lonely, lonely, and disabled; Lack of money, life, power. But as long as she concentrates on cultivation and passes the great tribulation of the age of twelve, her life will also take a new turn. This is also what she calls a great blessing. ”
After hearing what Chen Operator said, our whole family finally agreed that I would enter the Xuanmen Sect as a disciple for him.
After all, it's better to be alive than dead.
But what I didn't expect was that Chen Operator took me away from home and died not long after I left the village.
It is said that when he died, he was covered in black and green, and there were several large blood holes in his neck. It was like being bitten to death by a poisonous snake, and what was even more terrifying was that he was bleeding from all his seven orifices, and he seemed to be greatly frightened before he died.
But I was lying next to him, I was fine, I didn't hurt at all, I didn't cry or make trouble.
Later, I learned that only half of what Chen said was right. I'm not the one chosen by the White Snake Lady at all.
And he didn't want to take me as an apprentice, but wanted something on me, so he was bitten to death by a poisonous snake.
Of course, that's all for later.
After this incident, my grandfather and parents took me back again. As for Chen Operator, our family also lost a lot of money. For a while, the news that I was a demon fetus spread even more.
However, the people in the village did not drive us away again, and Chen Zhuanzi personally said that I did not invite the heavy rain. Second, they are also afraid of following in the footsteps of Chen Operator.
I grew up to three years old, and as I grew older, the white scales on my body faded. Only a small piece below the right collarbone remains.
This white scale is not large, and it cannot be seen if it is slightly covered.
But the children in the village still didn't want to play with me.
Until my third birthday, my grandfather and parents went out to do farm work. I was playing alone at home when I suddenly heard a knock on the door.
When I opened the door, I saw that it was Erzhuang, who lived on Upper East Street.
He was a few years older than me and had reached school age because he was born strong and his father was the second oldest in the family.
That's why everyone in our village calls him Erzhuang.
But at this moment, Er Zhuang is very weak, a fat face is bloodless, not to mention, it is very white and weird, which looks very strange.
"Brother Erzhuang, what's wrong with you?" It's rare to have a friend come to me, and I'm naturally happy.
"Sister Xiaobai, can you do me a favor?" Er Zhuang asked.
"What's the busy?" I asked.
"You go to Xihegouzi at night and wait for me, and I'll tell you." Erzhuang replied.
As he spoke, he took out another piece of candy and said that he would give it to me as long as I was willing to help. And we're all good friends from now on.
I didn't mix his candy, but his remark that we would be good friends in the future moved me.
After all, I've always been alone and lonely.
So I nodded immediately: "Okay, Brother Erzhuang, then we'll see you in the evening." ”
After hearing my promise, Er Zhuang seemed very happy and immediately gave me the candy.
And when I took the candy, the white scales under my collarbone suddenly became hot......
