The Xuanji hermit smiled and said to the little white snake: "Understood, but I will still teach you those things, and you can remember them by heart when the time comes!"

The little white snake smiled and said, "Well, okay, master, then you can help me more stupid apprentice in the future!"

The hermit laughed: "You're not stupid, you're too smart!"

The little white snake blushed and said embarrassedly: "Where am I too smart! I have no hands or feet, so I make the master embarrassed, right?"

The Xuanji hermit was a little pitying: "Master is not embarrassed, you can keep these mental formulas firmly in your heart, and then show them when you have the opportunity." ”

The little white snake nodded: "Then Master Lao, your old man will have to think a little more!"

Later, the Xuanji hermit taught the little white snake some spells such as transformation and doppelganger, as well as some killing techniques to defeat the enemy.

The little white snake learned this, but she didn't know when she would be able to use it, but she gradually figured out that the scriptures that the hermit master taught her to read contained the mental methods and principles of these spells.

Maybe this is the reason why the road is simple, there is something out of nothing, there is nothing in the middle of nothing, yin and yang change, and the cycle goes on and on. All spells originate from this, and all the internal and mental methods, both on the outside and on the inside, are all rooted in the scriptures taught by the master.

But because she is just a snake body, there is no way to listen to all directions like the master, see the four directions, change shapes and shadows, and come and go freely.

The little white snake had no choice but to carefully observe the master's drills, and kept the mental mantra firmly in his mind.

The next day, Xuanji Hermit suddenly thought that Little White Snake had also cultivated for a long time, and as for her current skills, she should also be examined carefully.

So the Xuanji hermit stood in front of the incense case and said to the little white snake with a smile: "Yuxi, you have also studied for a lot of time, the master doesn't know how your current cultivation is, why don't you show it in front of the master?"

The little white snake listened: "Why does the master want to test me now?"

The Xuanji hermit clasped his arms in front of his chest: "You should also take the test, it's been so long, how have you learned, so that the teacher can take a look!"

The little white snake was a little nervous and a little excited: "I've been studying for so long, since the master wants to see how I perform now, then I'll be ugly, after all, the ugly daughter-in-law still has to see her in-laws!"

The little white snake then bent down and bowed to the master: "Then let the master laugh, the disciple is not talented, but he is still shallow in learning, please bear with the master if he shows his ugliness!"

After speaking, the little white snake turned to a pile of wild fruits next to him, chanted words in his mouth, and then shouted loudly: "Change!"

I saw a cloud of green smoke rise from the pile of wild fruits, and then turned into a pile of bright red peaches.

"Master, what do you think, this is the transformation method you taught me!" The little white snake was a little proud.

"Well, that's good!" the hermit strode forward, reached for a peach, rubbed it on his hand, and took a big bite.

"If only it could be sweeter!" said the hermit, munching on a crunchy peach.

"But master, I can only change the shape, the taste can't be changed, those peaches are just a bunch of wild fruits!" The little white snake was a little regretful and a little unconvinced.

"Well, okay then, you'll have another doppelganger!" ordered the Xuanji hermit.

"Okay!" The little white snake jumped up, shook the snake's body, silently recited the mantra, and instantly in the place where the little white snake stood, three identical little white snakes immediately appeared, and stood in a row in front of the Xuanji hermit.

"Master, can you see which one is me?" the three little white snakes made exactly the same sound at the same time.

"The one in the middle!" the Xuanji hermit finished and picked up the peach pit and smashed it.

"Oh, master, why are you smashing me?" The peach pit smashed on the head of the little white snake, and the peach pit jumped and fell to the ground.

"Haha, Yuxi, it seems that you have learned a little, and it is quite smooth to use spells!" Xuanji hermit clapped his hands and praised the little white snake with a smile.

"But master, how did you just see at a glance that the one in the middle was me?" The little white snake put away the doppelganger technique, his face puzzled.

"Well, let's put it this way, although you have used the doppelganger technique, your real body still has aura, and as for those doppelgangers, they are just phantoms, so those who practice higher can see it. As for the more advanced doppelganger technique, it can divide you into three forms with the same essence as you at the same time, and outsiders can't tell them at all, but you still need to practice hard to do it!"

The little white snake suddenly realized: "Master Xie's guidance, the disciple understands!"

The Xuanji hermit said meaningfully: "Yuxi, there is still a long road ahead, and it remains to be seen whether it is a blessing or a curse." ”

After speaking, he turned around and looked at the portrait of Fuxi Ancestor and sighed.

Seeing that the master was silent, the little white snake crouched beside the hermit and muttered, "Master, I want to ask a question." ”

The Xuanji hermit sat down cross-legged, clasped his hands in the dantian, and whispered, "Yuxi, what else do you want to ask me?"

The little white snake asked him with a puzzled look: "Master, you said that if I begged Fuxi Ancestor for a wish, would he agree?"

The Xuanji hermit felt a little strange: "What else do you want?"

The little white snake swallowed: "I, I want to become a human, I don't know if Fuxi Ancestor is willing to fulfill me." ”

The Xuanji hermit glanced at the little white snake thoughtfully: "It's this wish." ”

The little white snake nodded: "Yes, master, I really want to become a person like you, but I don't know if it will be realized." It would be nice if one day I became a human being, with hands and feet. ”

The Xuanji hermit sighed slightly: "Yuxi, if one day you really become a human, will you regret it then?"

The little white snake heard Xuanji hermit say this, and it seemed that there was some profound meaning hidden in it, but she didn't think about it too much, but just agreed bluntly: "How can I regret it? I don't regret it, I just want to become a real person!"

Xuanji Hermit felt that the idea of the little white snake was too simple, too direct, and even a little naïve: "You must know that being a human being is also difficult, even more difficult than being a little snake, if it really comes to that day, if you want to be a little white snake again, it will be difficult to turn back." ”

Little White Snake felt that what the master said was a bit exaggerated: "Did the master think that it was impossible for me to become a human, so he persuaded me that it was too difficult to be a man." The reason why he comforted me so much was that he wanted me to discourage me from being a human being. But Brother Frog has said that incarnating as a human not only requires profundity, but also chance to succeed. Since it is so difficult to incarnate as a human being, why does the master even say that there are difficulties in being a human being?"
