Chapter 14 - ②The Secret Story in the Mountains
Chapter [-] - ②The Secret Story in the Mountains
Bai Feng and Chun started a difficult life in the mountains. Luckily, they found a dilapidated temple as a place to stay on the second day after going up the mountain.

There is a Buddha statue with a broken head in the temple, only the mouth and nose are left on the half wide face.Even so, Chun still insisted on reciting the scriptures to the Bodhisattva every day, asking the Bodhisattva to bless him for something.From the beginning, the two of them could only make ends meet with a small amount of wild vegetables and fruits. Later, Bai Feng could often hunt some game to satisfy his hunger, and Chun would divide half of his food to worship the Bodhisattva.

After living on the mountain for about half a month, Chun fell ill and coughed all day long.But she still insisted on chanting and praying to the broken Buddha statue every day, and took half of her food to offer.

Since Chun's body does not allow her to be overworked, the food reserves are getting less and less, and Chun still puts the food to rot as before, which makes Bai Feng puzzled.Finally one evening, the young man who had just returned from the hare hunt and returned to the ruined temple saw Chun, who was kneeling in front of the Buddha statue as always, with his hands folded and reciting the scriptures very devoutly. He finally couldn't help but ask her if she was praying. something.Just as Bai Feng was about to speak, Chun fell to the ground.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Bai Feng helped the weak Chun up and asked nervously.

Tsubaki replied with trembling lips, "Don't mind me...help me finish the rest of the scriptures...read..."

"Why?" Bai Feng asked with a bit of resentment: "Why! Is prayer really useful now?"

"You won't understand." Chun replied.

"I've always wanted to ask my sister, who are you praying for?"

"I'm praying for you, for me, for the living..."

The young man replied angrily: "Does that really work! Are we living because of the blessing of the Bodhisattva?"

"You...don't understand..." Chun repeated this sentence again, then stroked his head with his right hand, and suddenly wept bitterly.

After the boy touched her right hand, he found that it was unusually warm, and then he probed Tan Chun's forehead with the back of his hand, and found that she must have contracted the cold.

"Sister, you are sick, let's eat something first!" Bai Feng pleaded eagerly.

"I...I'm so scared..." Chun said intermittently while weeping, "I'm afraid...I dreamed of my parents and friends. I saw them being slaughtered like livestock." She held Bai Feng tightly. As if to rip it off, he continued: "I saw your parents being killed, but I only dare to let you and I live together!"

Douda's tears streamed out of Chun's eyes, and when the boy heard her words, he felt that the memory that he had been imprisoned in chains slowly reappeared in front of his eyes.He tried hard to suppress the memory of that day and not let it come out, but when his heart was beating, the memory would not dissipate.The more depressed, the more profound the feeling.Bai Feng held back the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes, and replied, "That...it's not your fault! On the contrary, sister, you saved me, and it was you who took me out of that purgatory. It was you, not the Bodhisattva!"

"No! I'm afraid of death. I'm afraid! I'm afraid I'll never be able to see my husband again. If...if he also died, what's the point of my life? Why am I the only one who survived!"

Bai Feng was completely shocked by these words. He was obviously the one who gave him the will to survive, but he was far less strong than he seemed, and he was even close to collapse in consciousness.He took Tsubaki, who was twitching with excessive grief, into his arms, kissing and stroking her hair like a comforting baby, while repeating: "You are brave, you are brave. You are just sick, take a rest..."

After Chun fell asleep, in order to prevent her condition from worsening, Bai Feng needed enough firewood to spend the night, so he went out to collect dry firewood.Unexpectedly, when the young man returned to the ruined temple, he saw not only the sleeping Tsubaki, but also a white snake about ten feet long!

The white snake wrapped Tsubaki's frail body with its body, and raised its head on top of hers.After Bai Snake noticed that someone was coming in, he pointed the snake letter to Bai Feng and made a "Ssi" sound.

The teenager waved the torch, approached cautiously, and shouted: "Get out of there quickly!" White Snake felt the threat, curled up and showed his fangs from time to time.

Just as the human-snake war was about to begin, a whiff of Xiao sound attracted the attention of both parties.Bai Feng watched the white snake spit out the bright red letter in the direction of the sound, then released the restraint on Chun, slowly passed by Bai Feng, and climbed straight to the door.At the same time, an elderly man's voice came from outside the door: "Xiao Bai, so you are here! Did you find any prey again?"

"Prey?" Bai Feng thought to himself, "Could it be that the legend of 'Yangshan White Snake Fairy' is true!" The boy's tensed nerves kept going out the door, waiting for the truth to be revealed.

I saw a man with a lantern in his hand, a long flute hanging diagonally around his waist, and a man in a green robe with white sleeves appeared in front of him.His hair is all white, his long beard reaches his chest, and his body is tall and slender. From a distance, he really looks like an immortal.Bai Feng didn't have time to think about it, so he rushed up and wanted to knock this man down.As a result, the man easily turned to the left, stretched out a right foot and tripped the reckless boy.Afterwards, he sighed, "Do young people greet each other like this when they meet for the first time?"

The man walked to Chun's side, glanced at it, and asked, "Have you caught a cold?" Then he crouched there, reading Chun's pulse, and said, "This is not an ordinary cold!"

Bai Feng stood up and faced him, shouting, "I won't allow you to touch her!" After a while, the young man realized that the white snake was crawling up from his feet.The icy scales on the white snake rubbed against the thin clothes of the young man, and the terrifying touch made Bai Feng unable to move.

"Boy, if you still want her to live, just follow me!" The man said while looking at the dumbfounded boy.

Bai Feng said in disbelief, "What... what?" As soon as he finished speaking, the white snake slammed his head into the boy's forehead, Bai Feng couldn't help but let out an "ah", and then sat on the ground stupidly.

The man smiled and said, "Xiao Bai, stop making trouble." After he finished speaking, he carried Chun who was lying on the ground on his back and walked out, and the white snake magically followed suit.Bai Feng, who saw this scene, was naturally surprised, but it happened.

"You can only follow." Bai Feng said in his heart.

Bai Feng kept following him on the road. After a long time, he finally said the first sentence. He asked the man, "Sir, are you the 'White Snake Immortal'?"

"Yes and no."

"Huh?" Bai Feng asked suspiciously.

"Then who is this girl from you?"

Bai Feng replied, "She is my sister."

"is it?"

"Yes...no..." Bai Feng lowered his head and said.

"Oh?" The man turned his head and glanced at the young man behind, and said, "Is there a reason for this?"

"She saved my life and my family is gone..."

"Sounds like what happened down the mountain!"

Bai Feng was silent, not wanting to talk more about those things.Half a moment later, the boy followed the mysterious man into a bamboo hut. Although it was night, he could still feel the tranquility and isolation there.The two stone lanterns in front of the house were lit, indicating the way for the two of them.

For the next few days, the boy watched over Tsubaki every day.Although "White Snake Immortal" picks up new herbs in the mountains to make medicinal soup for Chun to take every day, Chun's condition is still not getting better, instead it is getting worse.Until one day, several conspicuous abscesses developed on his hands, and the "White Snake Immortal" immediately pronounced Chun's death sentence.

"There is no other way. When the abscess bursts, she is dying. During this time, try to fulfill her wishes so that she can go in peace..."

The still ignorant teenager didn't seem to understand what "life-threatening" means, until the abscess on Chun's hand leaked yellow pus, and she spent almost every night in hysterical mourning.In the end, I don't know who gave a string of Buddhist beads, so that Chun could recite the scriptures to relieve the pain.Bai Feng asked Bai Snake, "Sir, did you give this string of beads to your sister, sir?"

"Since she likes it, why not?"

"It's alright, I just feel that chanting and meditating has finally worked." Bai Fengguai said with a smile.

"Heh" White Snake Immortal sneered and replied, "Boy, I still don't know what your name is!"

"My name is Bai Feng, what about Mr.

"My name doesn't matter, you can just call me 'White Snake Fairy'." The man who called himself White Snake Fairy said, "The most important thing right now is, Bai Feng, go ask your sister if she has any unfulfilled wishes. Don't regret it for life."

Bai Feng obeyed the instructions and went to ask Chun what his unfulfilled wish was.

"First of all, I hope you don't take revenge, I hope you can live well. Second, I... I want to see Xianggong again." Chun turned the Buddha bead with his right hand and said to Bai Feng, "Although I know this is unlikely. ..." A few days after that, Chun passed away, and his hands were almost infected to the point of rotting.

On the day of her burial, the tears Bai Feng had endured for a long time finally burst out. He asked in a low voice, "God! Why do you treat such a kind person like this!" Note that it was the "White Snake Fairy" who was playing sad songs and mourning for the dead.

After the tune was played, Bai Shexian walked up to the boy and asked, "Bai Feng, what are your plans in the future? Are you going to take revenge?"

"No, I don't want revenge. I just don't understand why we have to suffer like this?"

"It's this era." White Snake Immortal said indifferently, "This era determines your destiny."

"Era?" Bai Feng asked suspiciously.

"Yes, want to change it?"

"I, can I?"

"Because you are very similar to me, I once wanted to change the world. However, I was deceived by the traitor and had to hide in the mountains." Bai Shexian replied, "Bai Feng, are you willing to be my apprentice..."

For the next six years, Bai Feng has been practicing with the White Snake Immortal.Until one day six years later, the White Snake Immortal passed away in the bamboo hut.After the burial, Bai Feng observed his filial piety for seven days.On the seventh day, he discovered that the white snake, whom his master had been friends with, wrapped his body around the tomb of the white snake fairy and died of hunger strike.
