Chapter 181: The Toad and the White Snake

Zhao Gongming had been in the Heavenly Court for a few years, and he felt that it was inappropriate to mention Jiang Haoze's cultivation, but the explanation was not his style. He took out the treasured elixir jade liquid, as well as the various spirit fruit treasures he had collected over the years, and said with a smile: "I haven't been together with fellow Daoists for many years, so I should drink it today." ”

"Good. ”

Jiang Haoze did not refuse, and took out all kinds of treasures in the Taixu Realm, and placed stone spirits, fire dates, cloud pomegranates, and peach and other spiritual fruits on the simple stone table. The two of them drank the elixir jade liquid, as well as the Hundred Flowers Immortal Brew from the Taixu Realm, you and I drank happily one by one.

When he accompanied the monkey to Yaochi, the monkey frantically drank the elixir and jade liquid, and Jiang Haoze, who didn't dare to get drunk, tasted it lightly. It's the same in the Void Realm, he's always been cautious and never really drunk. met Zhao Gongming unexpectedly today, he put aside all his worries, and the whole person became free and easy.

"Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon. ”

Jiang Haoze was seven or eight points drunk, holding the wine glass to the sky and laughing wildly, Zhao Gongming staggered: "Although Li Bai, the immortal in the wine, is not very good at cultivation, that pride is really heartbreaking, and every time I drink with him, I am extremely happy. ”

Jiang Haoze laughed: "If he has the opportunity in the future, he will ask him for a drink." ”

"Good wine. ”

The two of them poured the elixir again and drank it all, and the wine couldn't support it, a Heavenly Court's Six Imperial Heavenly Emperors, and a legendary Golden Immortal who traveled from all walks of life, fell to the ground drunk like this. The cups and plates on the table were in a mess, several exotic fruits rolled off the ground, and the two great immortals fell asleep on the wet ground.

Suddenly, there was a sound of contrivance, and a white line appeared in the grass, which was a snake as white as jade. The white snake is the demon spirit that has opened the mind. Go out foraging today. I just happened to smell the rich aroma of wine. All the way to Jiang Haoze's secluded cottage.

The ignorant are fearless, the white snake is just a demon spirit, and the two who are drunk are Jin Xian, who have the audacity to climb in front of the grass house. Although it was only a preliminary opening of spiritual intelligence, out of the instinct of living beings, it knew that this was a great opportunity for itself, and the rare and exotic fruits near the table could help it cultivate.

The white snake swallowed a fire date first, and his wisdom improved a lot. understands that the two drunken immortals in front of him are not trivial. It shook its head and spun back and forth a few times, as if hesitating to devour more immortal fruits, but in the end, it still couldn't resist the temptation, and rolled up the three or four spirit fruits scattered on the ground.

This white snake was extremely psychic, it did not dare to contaminate the treasures placed on the table, and the spirit fruit on the ground did not swallow it immediately, but chose to bring it back to the cave for collection. If the two great immortals don't come to the door to find trouble, it will devour the spirit fruit, and if the two great immortals want to pursue it, they will hand over the spirit fruit to save their lives.

White Snake's idea was a bit naΓ―ve, but it seemed very shrewd. It supported its body on its abdomen, and its head nodded several times in succession towards the two drunken immortals. It's like thanking you. After doing this, it slowly crawled into the distance, and as the sky grew clearer, she returned to her nest on the cliff.

The drunk Jiang Haoze and Zhao Gongming came to their senses, Zhao Gongming, as the Sixth Emperor of the Heavenly Court, the little demon spirit took away the fairy fruit and naturally couldn't hide it from him, and said with a smile: "That evil beast is also bold, and he has made a lot of benefits while you and I are drunk, and I will teach him a lesson." ”

Jiang Haoze pinched his fingers, probably knew what was going on, and couldn't help but despise Tiandao again, and accidentally became an extras for Tiandao again. The white snake that stole the spirit fruit, if nothing else, should be the white lady, she was able to transform because of stealing the spirit fruit, and the story of the white snake will happen logically in the future.

A few spirit fruits are nothing, of course he will not embarrass the white lady, and said with a smile: "Why should you be as knowledgeable as the little demon spirit, speaking of which the white snake is also psychic, and he didn't dare to touch the fairy brewing treasures on the table, and before leaving, he also knew to thank you and me, and she should have a chance." ”

Zhao Gongming nodded and said: "According to what Daoyou said, the so-called blessing and misfortune depend on each other, that evil animal has gained great benefits today, and it will inevitably cause trouble, so let it go!"

Not long after Zhao Gongming said goodbye and left, Jiang Haoze didn't look for the white snake, every living creature has its own life, there is no need to interfere too much. He returned to his previous life, meditating with the Tao Te Ching in his hand every day, taking the second Huang Zhongli to comprehend the five elements of heaven and earth, and occasionally going down the mountain to understand the world in his spare time.

As Zhao Gongming said, since ancient times, blessings and misfortunes have depended on each other, and the white snake got a chance in front of the grass house, but it also brought her troubles. Emei Mountain to open the wisdom of the demon spirit is not only her, after the defeat of the Buddha Sun Wukong westward, he has opened a cave in Mount Emei to practice for a period of time, he will always have a toad listening attentively when chanting every day.

Because of the long-term listening to the fight to defeat the Buddha's chanting, the toad gradually has a Buddha nature, although it has not yet turned into a demon fairy, and its spiritual wisdom has become extremely high. Sun Monkey left the flood wilderness, and the cave where he cultivated was called the Shengfo Cave, and the toad stayed in the cave every day to cultivate, and it was not far from the transformation.

Sun Buddha naturally knew that this toad was alive, because the toad had Buddha nature, and his heart was not so impetuous after becoming a Buddha, so he didn't smash the toad to death with a stick. When he decided to leave the flood wilderness, he left the golden bowl and prayer building that he used on weekdays, which happened to be cheaper for the toad that only had Buddha nature.

The toad's spiritual intelligence is much higher than that of the white snake, and he knows that Jiang Haoze and Zhao Gongming are great immortals, but they dare not make a mistake when they are greedy for immortal brewed spirit fruits. Seeing that the white snake was stealing the spirit fruit without knowing how, this clever toad secretly sneered, and waited ill-intentioned to see the white snake's jokes, expecting the white snake to be killed by the two immortals.

The toad has listened to Sun Buddha's sermons for many years, and it stands to reason that he should have a compassionate heart and can't bear the robbery of the white snake. It does have compassion, but it cannot have mercy on snakes, because snakes are the natural enemies of toads, and countless toads have been buried in the mouth of snakes.

The toad was disappointed, three months passed, and Shangxian did not settle accounts with the white snake, so he let the white snake get a big chance. Because of envy, jealousy and hatred, coupled with the lack of good feelings for snakes, the toad decided to deal with the white snake, and by the way, he robbed the white snake of the remaining two spirit fruits.

The white snake and the toad are both demon spirits, and the toad with Buddha nature is more profound than the white snake, and the white snake is not its opponent at all, so it can only flee to the bottom of the mountain in a hurry. The toad chased after him, and as a result, the popular bloody plot appeared, a little shepherd boy who went up the mountain to graze happened to save the life of the white snake.

After the demon clan is transformed into a demon immortal, the combat effectiveness will explode, and bullying ordinary humans is not a problem at all. If it is a fierce beast like a tiger and a leopard, even an ordinary beast is extremely powerful, and it has become a demon spirit when it turns on its spiritual intelligence, and mortals are not opponents at all. However, a demon spirit like a toad, because its body is extremely weak, has not had too strong attack power when it becomes a demon spirit, and it is defeated by the little shepherd boy at a light level.

The toad can bully the white snake, this is because it has Buddha nature, and the Buddha nature happens to be the nemesis of demons, so it restrains the white snake to death. When encountering ordinary humans, the Buddha nature in his body did not have the slightest effect, and the little shepherd boy screamed at him with a few flying stones, and the wolf bèi fled all over his body.

As long as there is a suitable opportunity, the little shepherd boy can also become a big hero and stage a good scene of heroes saving beauty. When this scene happened at the foot of Mount Emei, Jiang Haoze, who closed his eyes and realized it, felt something, and smiled slightly after calculating, Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian had already met, and they would be entangled in a few hundred years.

He remembered the popular song "Waiting for a Thousand Years", Xu Xian saved the white snake thousands of years ago, and the white snake went to Xu Xian to repay his kindness after transforming into a shape. This time I traveled to the White Snake World, but the time was during the reign of Tang Suzong, and it was only two or three hundred years from the Southern Song Dynasty when Bai Suzhen repaid her kindness to Xu Xian, which is not a thousand years.

In the end, he came to a conclusion, the time in the myth should not be used to test the history of the school, the 1,700 years before the Southern Song Dynasty was the Zhou Dynasty, when the war of the gods had just ended, where would there be Guanyin Bodhisattva? After the war of the gods, the people of Cihang Dao turned to Buddhism, and the reincarnation of many generations made a great wish to save the suffering, which led to the later Guanyin, Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen in the Zhou Dynasty were too related.

There is also a possibility that it is approximate, a thousand years is just an exaggerated statement, in fact, from Xu Xian's rescue of the White Snake to the White Snake's retribution, the interval is only two or three hundred years. He came to the White Snake World just to meditate and cultivate, and he didn't have the heart to care about the unruly love between humans and snakes, Xu Xian saved the White Snake, so he no longer paid attention to it, but was a little interested in the toad with bruises all over his body.

Toads are generally not intelligent, this toad can produce Buddha nature by listening to Sun Buddha's chanting, and later become a generation of monks, and his talent and perseverance should be good. Jiayun came to the cave where Sun Buddha had cultivated, and found the toad that licked his wounds, and the toad saw him quickly prostrate on the ground, and his ugly body trembled incessantly.

"You evil beast has some spirituality, I have nothing to do in this Emei Mountain, are you willing to practice with me?"

Jiang Haoze had a bad taste for a while, and he wanted to disgust the Heavenly Dao, and was ready to teach this future Fahai monk the Dao. If Fahai, the villain of the White Snake Legend, becomes a Taoist priest, and no longer holds a golden bowl to suppress the White Lady, but carries a sword and recites "Lingbao Daozun is as anxious as the law", what will the White Snake story become in the end?

He couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the pride, but unfortunately he laughed too early, and the toad actually sent him a message asking him if he was practicing the Tao or the Dharma. Originally, he felt that he was a dignified golden immortal, and he was willing to point out the toad of the demon spirit, and the toad should be grateful to Dade, but he didn't expect this toad to pick and choose.

Jiang Haoze shouted: "I am a dignified Upper Realm Golden Immortal, it is your chance to guide you to the Dao Law, could it be that you are still reluctant?"

The toad prostrate on the ground again, his body trembling like a sifting chaff, and replied tremblingly: "Immortal, I don't want to give up halfway to the Buddha with all my heart, I don't want to practice the Tao, and I hope that the immortal will forgive me." ”

"This toad seems to have a lot more discipline than I do"

Jiang Haoze secretly slandered to himself, if he was just a little demon spirit, even if he had been practicing Buddhism, if there was a golden immortal who wanted to preach the Dharma, he would definitely cultivate the Tao immediately. This toad's heart is worthy of praise, and he can maintain his heart in the face of the Golden Immortal Collector, he has the heart to test it again, and sneered: "You evil obstacle is unwilling to enter my door, I will kill you today."
