Chapter 7: Renewal
The little white snake looked very small indeed, less than a foot long, just a small white snake, but its body was covered with neat white scales, which shimmered slightly golden under the light of the fire. And there are a few thin black patterns on the forehead of the little white snake, just like her eyebrows, looking carefully, Xuanji Hermit actually thinks that the appearance of this little white snake is very beautiful and cute, and it reveals a natural spirituality.
He looked at the little white snake trying to devour the shredded chicken, and the Xuanji hermit was unusually surprised, he didn't expect that there was a little white snake that survived, and it looked so cute. It seems that the little white snake must be hungry now.
The Xuanji hermit couldn't help but tear off a few chicken shreds and handed them to the little white snake in pain.
The little white snake was probably really hungry, and he took a big bite on the shredded chicken handed over by the Xuanji hermit, and he almost choked in the middle. After a while, she burped: "What's the matter, I'm full before I eat much, it's really strange, it's so delicious, but I can only eat so little, it seems that the white snake doesn't eat much!"
The little white snake stretched out his head and swallowed the chicken shredded that was still blocked in his throat just now, and then looked gratefully at the hermit uncle's red little red tongue.
The Xuanji hermit looked at the little white snake with kind eyes and said, "It seems that there are only two of us left here, and your family has sacrificed to protect the Book of Heaven, alas! What can I do about this? You are still so young!"
The little white snake heard the hermit say this, although she couldn't speak yet, but she knew what the hermit uncle meant, after all, she had been with the hermit uncle for so long before.
The little white snake crossed the ground and nodded sadly.
Uncle Hermit said, "It seems that you understand what I mean, you are very human, but you can't speak yet." ”
The little white snake nodded slightly.
At this time, Uncle Hermit looked up at the portrait of Fuxi Ancestor hanging on the wall, and couldn't help but light up in his eyes: "If only Fuxi Ancestor was extra kind and could let the little white snake speak!"
So the Xuanji hermit asked the little white snake: "Little white snake, do you want to speak? If you want, you can nod!"
The little white snake fully understood what the Xuanji hermit meant, so he hurriedly nodded.
Uncle Hermit then said kindly, "Then let's beg Fuxi Ancestor for extra mercy and let you speak, okay?"
The little white snake's heart immediately swelled with surprise: "Is this okay? That's really good! I am very willing!"
Then the hermit uncle and the little white snake faced the portrait of the ancestor of Fuxi, knelt on the ground and bowed to him three times and bowed nine times, and the hermit of Xuanji prayed sincerely in his mouth: "The sky is above, for the sake of the white snake family, in order to protect the book of heaven and the merit of heroic sacrifice, in the lower and the little white snake begged the ancestor of Fuxi for extra mercy, so that the little white snake can speak from now on, understand human nature, know people's reason, and may God be generous to grant our request! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you Fuxi ancestor!"
Then the Xuanji hermit kowtowed again and again, and the little white snake hurriedly bowed down the snake body, and bowed to the portrait of Fuxi Ancestor again and again.
At this time, perhaps because of the heroic feat of the Great White Snake family, and the sincere plea of the Xuanji hermit moved the heavens, on the portrait of the ancestor of Fuxi, a light flashed in the eyes of the ancestor, and the corners of the ancestor of Fuxi seemed to smile slightly, and a kind light appeared in his eyes.
The hermit uncle couldn't help but be excited when he saw it, and kowtowed again and again to thank the ancestor of Fuxi.
Then he looked at the little white snake and asked, "Fuxi Ancestor has agreed, you can speak in the future, so what should I call you in the future?"
The little white snake couldn't help but wonder a little in his heart: "Is it so fast? Can it be done without testing? Then what should I call in the future? Well--, what name should I choose?"
The little white snake stared intently at the hermit uncle, and spat out the little letter curiously.
The Xuanji hermit looked at the appearance of the little white snake and scratched his scalp: "Seeing that you look so cute, and you were born on the day of thunder and rain, let's just call you Yuxi!
When the little white snake heard the hermit uncle call her Yuxi, although she didn't know how these two words were written, it still sounded pretty good.
So she nodded her little head, opened her little mouth happily and shouted, "Okay!
At this moment, the little white snake and the Xuanji hermit were surprised to find that she was able to speak, and they were both stunned: "Ancestor Fuxi is so effective! Just after the big ceremony, the little white snake can speak!"
The little white snake's voice was thin and tender, and it sounded like a little girl's voice. Even Little White Snake didn't expect her to be able to speak so quickly, and when she heard her own voice, she couldn't help but be very surprised: "My voice is actually like this! And it's not the usual sizzle, it's incredible!"
She opened her mouth and moved a few times, then exclaimed, "Great! I can speak! Is this true?"
Little White Snake heard her own voice again, and this time she believed it, though she still felt a little unreal. The little white snake couldn't help biting its little tongue, oops, it actually hurt a little, it seems that this is true, not daydreaming.
At this time, the little white snake turned his gaze to the portrait of Fuxi Ancestor, and excitedly thanked Fuxi Ancestor in a childish voice: "Thank God! Thank you Fuxi Ancestor! I can finally speak!"
The Fuxi Ancestor on the portrait seemed to look at the little white snake and smiled compassionately, and then as usual, everything was calm on the portrait.
The little white snake looked at the Xuanji hermit and asked, "Uncle Hermit, will I be called Yuxi from now on?"
The Xuanji hermit nodded amiably, then what else can be done, just leave it like this: "Well, yes, you will be called Yuxi in the future, and you will also have a name." You can speak now, and you can cultivate with me in the future! Seeing that you are still so young, you will have to work a little harder in the future!"
After listening to Uncle Hermit's words, the little white snake thought that this was a good idea, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll follow Uncle to cultivate in the future!
The Xuanji hermit replied repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I will be your master in the future, you have to study hard, don't be lazy!"
Later, the little white snake practiced with the hermit master. Although the little white snake can understand human speech and can speak, the little white snake still doesn't know words, and she wants to know how the word Yuxi is written.
So, every day, the hermit master took a small branch and wrote down Chinese characters on the muddy floor one by one to teach the little white snake to know. In this way, the hermit of Xuanji taught Little White Snake some simple and complex square words, and also let Little White Snake know how her name was written.
