Chapter 8 Longing for the World
Over time, Little White Snake learned a lot of words, and now she can not only speak, but also learn many square words, as well as how her name is written, and what it means.
Moreover, the little white snake also understood many truths from the oral teachings of the hermit master. Of course, these are all about the ethics and etiquette of the world.
Although the little white snake is not a human being, and she is not a real little girl, she also understands many things about the world. Naturally, as her mother told her before, the world is the red world, although it looks prosperous, but the red dust is full of joys, sorrows, joys and sorrows in many people.
Despite this, the little white snake still can't help but be full of infinite longing for the world, she really wants to go to the world to play, go to the village under the mountain to have a look, and experience the feeling of being a human being. What kind of joy, sorrow, and joy, the little white snake still doesn't quite understand.
However, you must know that although the little white snake can speak and be sensible, she has no way to transform. She can't be a human being, she has hands and feet, she can come and go freely to the village below the mountain to experience what it's like to be a human being.
The little white snake couldn't help but feel sorry when she thought of this, she really wanted to become a person, a real little girl, and go outside to experience life in the world.
She wondered if one day she could become a human. While thinking like this, she looked back at the portrait of Fuxi Ancestor, if only Fuxi Ancestor could fulfill her little wish.
Just when the little white snake was talking like this in his heart, the ancestor of Fuxi seemed to smile slightly on the portrait, and the little white snake couldn't help but be shocked, could it be that the ancestor of Fuxi heard my thoughts? But I obviously saw it, the ancestor of Fuxi was laughing, she couldn't help but be a little surprised: "The ancestor of Fuxi is laughing, shouldn't it be my dazzle?"
The little white snake blinked his round eyes like little black beans, and looked at the portrait in a daze: "If Fuxi Ancestor really hears my wish, then one day in the future, he will be extra gracious and really fulfill my wish, then I will be satisfied!"
At this time, the little white snake seemed to hear the master whispering in his ear: "You have to practice hard! Don't be lazy!"
The little white snake was immediately startled, and couldn't help but shrink his little head and replied again and again: "Yes, master, the disciple doesn't dare to be lazy!"
After speaking, the little white snake crawled in front of the portrait, crossed his body and silently recited the scriptures that the master usually taught.
Although the little white snake tried his best to follow the master's cultivation, time passed year after year.
The little white snake's mental strength gradually grew, and his body gradually grew a little. But I don't know if the little white snake is because of her lack of skills, or if her cultivation is limited, she still looks like a little snake, but the scales on her body are getting more and more brilliant, and her appearance is getting brighter and brighter, and she is full of spirituality that can't be concealed.
Even the hermit master was a little surprised: "The appearance of the little white snake is getting more and more handsome, but it's a pity that it's just a little snake." But judging from her appearance, the spirituality on her body is becoming more and more sufficient. Maybe the little white snake has some talent, after all, it is the child of the big white snake, and this is a natural spiritual seedling. If you practice well, you may be able to have a future in the future. ”
The little white snake's desire to become a human being, the hermit master knows, but he has no choice, after all, the little white snake is just a small spirit snake at best, even if he is born with a wise root, if he wants to become a human, it is difficult to say. In addition to having talent and enough practice, if you really want to cross over to adulthood, then you have to see if there is such fate and opportunity.
How to become a human, the hermit master said that it is really not clear, and the Xuanji hermit can't answer the little white snake with certainty now. Because although he has studied the Book of Heaven, he still doesn't know much about the matter of the snake becoming a man. After all, the Xuanji hermit was originally a human, and he didn't need to bother to study how to become a human. Besides, the Great White Snake had cultivated for so many years and had not become an adult, so of course the hermit master felt very embarrassed.
Therefore, when the Xuanji hermit faced such a problem with the little white snake, he had to patiently comfort the little white snake and said: "Yuxi, don't you already know how to speak human language, and you also know the truth of being a human being, as for wanting to become a human being, then you have to continue to practice." You must know that it is very difficult to change from a white snake to a real person, which requires opportunity and cultivation. I believe in the master, if one day God really agrees with kindness, it is not impossible to give you this opportunity. As long as you can practice seriously and wait patiently, you can do it. You must know that your mother has been cultivating for hundreds of years, but in the end, she ...... Alas, this is also really an unexpected thing, what a pity!"
After listening to the master's words, the little white snake nodded a little disappointed. But she still wants to be able to become a human as soon as possible, although she can speak now, which is actually an improvement. If she had continued to practice, maybe she would have a chance to become a human. Thinking of this, the little white snake couldn't help but feel a little comforted, after all, there was still hope, if God was really gracious, and she happened to encounter this opportunity.
The little white snake still follows the hermit master to practice every day, and the Xuanji hermit teaches the little white snake many things. Although the master always warned the little white snake to be careful of the outside world, the master's earnest teachings still couldn't suppress the little white snake's longing for the world.
The little white snake secretly brewed that one day, she would run to the village below the mountain to have a look, so as to satisfy her little curiosity.
On this day, the little white snake took advantage of the opportunity of the master to end his cultivation early, and secretly slipped out alone with the Xuanji hermit on his back.
The little white snake still vaguely remembers the paths that their mother passed when she took them to the bottom of the mountain to forage for food.
So the little white snake followed the route in his memory, and crawled through the dense woods and grasses one by one.
I haven't walked these mountain roads for a long time, the weeds on the side of the road grow almost as tall as a person, and the little white snake crawls quietly in the grass, and when others look from the outside, they can hardly find the figure of the little white snake passing by.
Occasionally, I heard the voices of some herb pickers passing by, and the little white snake immediately became alert. She held her breath and lay dormant in the depths of the grass. She was still a little afraid of the strangers, worried that if they found out, it would bring her unexpected danger. After all, she was just a small snake, and for experienced hunters, she was just a weak prey, and once they caught her, the little white snake had no power to resist.
After these people left, the little white snake slowly moved its body and crawled to the side of the road, speeding up and running down the mountain.
Finally, I almost reached the foot of the mountain, and I could almost hear the sound of the water flowing in the small river at the foot of the mountain, and from time to time there were some sounds of children playing in the water from afar. Occasionally, a noisy croaking of frogs can be heard from the grass along the river.
