If I add money to become a layman, I can cultivate immortality

Chapter 154 Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing
This day has finally come.

In the evening of that day, Ding Xiu was still explaining the scriptures and reading poems to the students in the school building.

Suddenly a gust of wind came, and the falling flowers outside were like colorful snowflakes flying in the air. It was really spectacular.

Seeing this scene, all the students couldn't help but put down their books and rushed to the railing to enjoy the rare beauty.

Ding Xiu also walked to the railing and softly recited a song from Yan Shu's "Huanxisha: A New Song and a Glass of Wine":
"A new song with a glass of wine, last year's weather and old pavilions. When will the sun set? Helplessly, the flowers fall, and the familiar swallows return. The fragrant path in the small garden wanders alone."

At this time, by a stilted building not far away, a woman with long hair hanging down her shoulders was soaking in the river water, looking up in the direction of the school building.

She swam over after hearing the sound of reading.

Her name is Bai Suzhen!
She also has a good sister Xiaoqing.

Ding Xiu seemed to feel something. He raised his eyes towards the center of the river and met Bai Suzhen's big watery eyes.

"Drip ring..."

At this time, a loud sound of copper bells came.

Bai Suzhen frowned and subconsciously glanced at the shore.

By the river embankment, a blind old Taoist was coming shaking a copper bell. There was a disciple in front of him and behind him. The disciple in front was holding a lantern, and the disciple behind was holding a cloth banner with two rows of small characters on it: Master Maoshan, surrender. Demons and monsters.

In the middle are three big characters: Quanzhenzi.

"Huh?" Quan Zhenzi suddenly stopped and murmured: "Apprentice, there is something moving."

"What is it?"

"What did you find, Master?"

The two disciples asked at the same time.

Although Quan Zhenzi could not see with his eyes, his senses were different from ordinary people. He tilted his head and sensed for a while, and couldn't help but snorted: "Huh, you can run fast... Disciple, clear the way!"

a few days later.

On a street near the river, two women were smiling charmingly, swinging embroidered lotus leaf fans, twisting their waists, and walking in lotus steps, showing a variety of charms.

Xiaoqing counted as she walked: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ninety... take ten steps and take a break. Sister, it's time to take a break."

"Have a rest?" Bai Suzhen turned around with a helpless look on her face: "Xiaoqing, look at you, you have already cultivated into a human form, why are you still like a lazy snake? How can you behave like a human being when you are so paralyzed? "

Xiao Qing said lazily: "Do you still want to crawl?"

"This is not called crawling. People call this walking. Do you understand? Stop doing this and put your legs down."

Bai Suzhen pulled Xiaoqing's legs that were coiled on the branch and put them on the ground.

Xiao Qing muttered: "You have practiced for thousands of years, while others have only practiced for 500 years. If I had practiced for 500 more years, I could tie my two tails in as many knots as I wanted..."

Speaking of which, Xiaoqing had never been able to transform into a human form before. She can now transform into a human form, thanks to Fahai.

Because Fahai had left the Buddhist beads of the Spider Spirit in the bamboo forest before, which were obtained by Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing.

The string of Buddhist beads was quite spiritual, and Xiaoqing herself also had spiritual roots, so she finally transformed into a delicate beauty.

Bai Suzhen smiled and said: "You, I have told you many times, these two are not called tails, they are called feet, they are used for walking."

"It's so boring. It's called a foot? It was originally a piece of soft flesh, but now it's divided into two sides, and there are ten hard and useless toes. Life is so complicated, simplicity becomes more complicated..."

Bai Suzhen shook her fan and said with a smile: "Then if you don't like being a human being, just go back to Zizhu Forest to practice."

"No..." Xiao Qing looked around subconsciously, and seemed to feel that the prosperity of this world was quite good.

"Xiao Qing, you have to know that humans are the spirit of all things. How many monsters want to cultivate human form but can't, just be content and leave quickly!"

"But my waist always can't straighten up..."

"Then twist it first..."

The two girls were laughing and joking, causing some boaters in the river to forget to adjust their direction and bump into each other.

Soon after, the two girls returned to their home, a small courtyard located at the entrance of Shuanghuafang Lane in Arrow Bridge.

Of course, although it is said to be a small courtyard, it is actually quite large. It has a front yard, a hall, rooms, and a back garden.

After returning home, Xiaoqing was too lazy to pretend to be human anymore, so she transformed into a snake's tail and swam around the house. Sometimes it was swimming on the floor, and sometimes it jumped to the rafters, having a great time.

Bai Suzhen shook her head helplessly and sighed: "Oh, if I give you another 500 years, I'm afraid it will still be like this."

"Hmph!" Xiaoqing snorted unconvinced: "I really don't understand what's so good about being a human being. The rules and regulations all day long are really annoying..."

"Okay, don't complain. In two days of Qingming Festival, I will take you to the lake together."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoqing's eyes lit up and she responded repeatedly.

In a blink of an eye, the Qingming Festival has arrived.

Qingming is a traditional festival, and most people go out for outings and visit graves.

In the morning, Ding Xiu held an umbrella and came to a ferry by the West Lake. He shouted at a ferry that was about to leave the shore: "Boatman, wait..."

The boatman replied: "Sir, this boat is chartered, please wait for the next turn."

An old man on the shore said: "Sir, during the Qingming Festival, all the officials like to take their families to the lake. If you come earlier, you might be able to find a boat. Now... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."

At this time, a boat slowly sailed over in the middle of the lake.

Beside the cabin, Bai Suzhen looked at Ding Xiu with narrowed eyes.

Ding Xiu also glanced over subconsciously.

Xiaoqing jumped up to Bai Suzhen, followed her line of sight, and saw Ding Xiu.

"Sister, why are you staring at that person?"

Bai Suzhen smiled: "It's nothing... Oh, you are squirming around awkwardly, why is your tail exposed again?"

Xiao Qing said plausibly: "It has been with me for 500 years. If it disappears all of a sudden, I have to give me some time to adapt."

Bai Suzhen was too lazy to talk to Xiao Qing anymore, turned around and took the wine bottle and wine glass from the small table in the cabin, poured half a glass of wine into the glass, and then threw it into the air.

Wine was poured into the lake.

Miraculously, huge raindrops also fell from the sky.

This is the power to move wind and rain.

At the ferry, Ding Xiu pretended to be in a hurry and held up his umbrella, then shouted to the middle of the lake: "The boatman, wait a minute, can you take me across the lake?"

Without waiting for the boatman's reply, Bai Suzhen looked happy and ordered to the boatman: "Boatman, hurry up, get to the shore quickly."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoqing panicked and said anxiously: "Don't be anxious, let me make a decision first."

She still has half of the snake's tail exposed.

Bai Suzhen replied: "Then you should hurry up and make a decision."

"How can you decide if you are urging me so much? Let the boatman stop for a while first?"

"It's going well now, how can it stop? You can figure out a way..."

"Hmph, then I'll get into the water first."

Xiaoqing really jumped into the lake with a "plop".

"Hey, someone fell into the water..."

Ding Xiu had already rushed to the lake, pointing towards the lake with a fussy look.

Bai Suzhen acted as if she didn't hear anything, and took the initiative to reach out and drag Ding Xiu onto the boat.

Just at this moment, a wave hit, and Ding Xiu's body swayed...

"Be careful..." Bai Suzhen supported Ding Xiu.

At this time, the boat shook violently again.

Bai Suzhen's body also swayed, and she exclaimed: "Ah..."

This time, it was Ding Xiu who helped her and warned her with concern: "Be careful too."

You hold my shoulder, and I hold your arm, just like the hug between lovers, our eyes are facing each other, our faces are so close that we can almost feel the breath of each other, letting the rain wet our hair, My clothes got wet.

After a while, Bai Suzhen finally opened her red lips and said, "Young Master, there is no need to panic. My sister is familiar with the nature of water. She is just playing in the water."

"Oh……"

"Come in, there is a stove inside, dry your clothes first." There was a small stove and a small table in the cabin.There was a steaming clay pot on the stove, and the cabin was filled with a mouth-watering aroma of porridge.

"Sir, come and try the West Lake beef soup that I cooked by myself."

"Why are you so embarrassed? I've already boarded the girl's boat, so why bother to entertain her..."

Bai Suzhen didn't speak, just bit her lip gently, with an expression that seemed both happy and angry.

The rain slowly dripped from the tips of her hair and ran down her jade neck as smooth as gelatin...

"Ahem!" Ding Xiu coughed dryly and looked away slightly.

At this time, a burst of singing came from nowhere:
"The West Lake is beautiful in March, and the spring rain is like wine and willows are like smoke. We are destined to meet each other thousands of miles away, but if we are not destined to meet each other, it is difficult to hold hands. After ten years of cultivation, we can cross the same boat, and after a hundred years of cultivation, we can sleep together..."

After a while, Ding Xiu and Bai Suzhen walked to the bow of the boat together, leaning against each other. One stretched out his left hand and the other stretched out his right hand, both holding an oil-paper umbrella.

The ship finally landed.

"Um...thank you girl, I'll take my leave now."

"Well, the springboard is very slippery, sir, be careful."

"By the way, this umbrella...is for the girl to protect herself from the rain."

Bai Suzhen said softly: "It's hard to refuse such kindness. Thank you very much, sir. Please come to my humble residence tomorrow to pick up an umbrella. The little girl lives in the Shuanghuafang Lane of Dajian Bridge, in a family named Bai..."

……

The next day, in the morning.

The so-called Maoshan master Quanzhenzi led two disciples outside the courtyard where Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing lived.

"Hey, here we are, right here!"

Quan Zhenzi pointed forward with a proud look on his face.

He couldn't see it, so the disciple immediately reported: "Master, it is a courtyard with a radius of a hundred steps."

Quan Zhenzi said with a greedy look on his face: "This monster has been on the road for thousands of years. I will capture it and take it back to make elixirs. It can replenish my spiritual power and strengthen my cultivation. I am ready to catch the monster!"

"Yes, Master!"

The two disciples responded in unison and began to prepare.

In fact, what this old Taoist sensed was Xiao Qing's aura, and Bai Suzhen was close to attaining enlightenment. How could he be able to see through her true identity?

The two disciples split up, each carrying a bag and started spreading realgar.

In the house, Xiaoqing was running up and down the rafters. Suddenly, a pungent smell came, making her dizzy and she immediately fell down from the rafters.

"No, realgar..."

Although she has cultivated into a human form, the realgar still has a certain restraint effect on her, not to mention that Quan Zhenzi also set up an altar outside.

"Someone set up an altar to do this!"

Bai Suzhen frowned and was about to fight back, but she seemed to feel something and did not take action yet.

Because at this time, Ding Xiu came to the door carrying a food box.

"At the entrance of Shuanghuafang Lane in Arrow Bridge, Bai Mansion..."

"Hey, you can't go there!"

A disciple of Quanzhenzi immediately rushed forward to stop Ding Xiu.

Ding Xiu looked puzzled and asked, "Your family built this road? Why can't I go there?"

"This..." The disciple was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Quanzhenzi and said, "Master, there is someone..."

Quanzhenzi was sitting cross-legged, mumbling something. When he heard what his disciple said, he became impatient and said, "Only call me if there are monsters. For others, let them stay away."

"Did you hear that? My master asked you to get out of the way."

Another disciple also stepped forward, grabbing Ding Xiu and trying to pull him away.

"Why? I want to go in and visit my friends."

"Hmph!" Upon hearing this, Quan Zhenzi couldn't help but snorted: "I'm really blinding you. Do you know that this courtyard was created by the snake demon using magic? If you don't want to die, just leave as soon as possible. "

This old man is also funny. He is obviously the blind man. It must be said that others are blind...

However, Ding Xiu didn't bother to argue with it and said with a smile, "What if I don't leave?"

"Apprentice, drive him away. Don't let Master catch the monster."

"Yes, Master!"

Two disciples, one from the left and one from the right, rushed forward and grabbed Ding Xiu, trying to drag him away by force.

Unexpectedly, the two of them grabbed it, but found nothing.

Ding Xiu, however, had somehow reached the door and said to Quan Zhenzi, "Taoist Master, this is my friend's house. Please don't block it at the door."

Upon hearing this, Quan Zhenzi couldn't help but became furious. He raised his finger towards Ding Xiu, wanting to stun the troublemaker first.

Unexpectedly, when I pointed it out, it came up empty.

"Ok?"

Quan Zhenzi was stunned.

Before he could come to his senses, he felt his body light up. Ding Xiu picked him up like a chicken and threw him hard...

"Master!"

"Master!"

The two disciples exclaimed and chased after him.

"boom!"

Then, Ding Xiu kicked away the altar placed by Quan Zhenzi.

"boom!"

Quan Zhenzi fell heavily to the ground, smashing into pieces and getting a big bump on his forehead.

What a shame!
He was a master who could slay demons, but he was beaten by a scholar-looking guy?
Where is the law of heaven?

"Master..."

The two disciples hurriedly helped Quan Zhenzi up.

Quan Zhenzi tried to save his face and said, "Master, let's make some calculations. It's not a good time to catch monsters today, let's go!"

Just like that, the three masters and apprentices left in despair.

At this moment, it suddenly started to rain again.

This was the rain summoned by Bai Suzhen, because there was a lot of realgar sprinkled outside, but she didn't care. After all, the realgar had no effect on her.

But Xiaoqing couldn't do it. After being stimulated by the realgar, it was difficult for her to maintain her human form, so Bai Suzhen could only cast a heavy rain to wash away the realgar outside the courtyard wall.

Ding Xiu once again picked up the food box on the ground and walked to the courtyard door. Just as he was about to reach out and knock on the door, the courtyard door opened on its own with a "squeak".

Behind the door, a charming beauty walked out.

It was Bai Suzhen.

"Son..."

When she saw Ding Xiu, Bai Suzhen called out sweetly.

Ding Xiu raised the food box in his hand and said, "Miss Bai, I bought some food and brought it over."

"Master, you are so polite... Master, you are soaked. Come in and dry your clothes."

"Bake again?"

"It's wet again..."

Bai Suzhen smiled brightly, took Ding Xiu's hand and walked towards the house.
