White Snake Demonstration Walk

Chapter 190 Repaying Gratitude?

Xu Xianwu was making medicine in the Qingyu Hall. There were a large number of porcelain jars displayed in front of him. The jars looked a bit old, and one could tell that they were old. They contained many herbs, woody incense, ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflorum, etc.

He is an apprentice in Qingyu Hall. In addition to studying some scriptures that record medical techniques, he also has to do some things such as collecting herbs from the mountains, grinding herbs, and distinguishing the properties of herbs. The knowledge is only superficial after all, and it is suspected of talking on paper. If you want to really understand it, you must try it yourself.

Xu Xian lowered his head and said nothing, only his body and arms were swaying back and forth due to the grinding movement, a little sweat dripped from his face, and there was a hint of confusion about the way ahead in his eyes.

For more than ten years, nothing has been achieved; when fate comes and goes, there are worries in my heart.

After a long time, he sighed softly, put down the medicine pestle in his hand, and suddenly heard a staff outside the house shouting: "Xu Xian, has the medicine that the shopkeeper ordered you finished grinding?"

The voice came first, and the talent came later. It was a waiter in Qingyu Hall who saluted Xu Xian with a smile on his face. In the eyes of ordinary people like them, even though Xu Xian had retired from the academy, But he is also a real scholar, so he is extremely respected.

Xu Xian hurriedly collected his thoughts, took a few samples from the many herbs that had been grinded in front of him, wrapped them up, and handed them to the waiter, and said with a smile, "It's already ready! Take it quickly, don't delay."

The clerk let out a hey, picked up the medicine and left. Xu Xian looked up at the sky, but found that it was dusk and the sky was dim. He first went to the front hall to inform the shopkeeper, and then walked towards the house.

But he didn't find a white figure staring at him in the shadow behind him.

The moonlight was bright tonight, and she was as handsome as a man. The moonlight shone down, reflecting the sky and the earth brightly. There were still many pedestrians passing by on the street. Bai Suzhen followed Xu Xian all the way, unable to see the expression on her face clearly.

After knowing that Xu Xian is the benefactor her family has been looking for, she always pays attention to his every move, so as to seek opportunities to repay her kindness.

Over the past few days, I have heard many rumors and gossips circulating in the city. Seeing that my benefactor is depressed these days, looking out of control and lost in spirit, I can't help feeling a little worried.

Finally finding an opportunity, Bai Suzhen came to Xu Xian and said, "Master, please stay for a while."

Hearing the sound, Xu Xian raised his head and looked forward, only to see under the moonlight, a delicate-looking young man in white clothes standing in front of him, looking at him with a slight smile on his face.

Xu Xian saluted first, and then said: "Young Master Shicai is calling me?" But there was a bit of doubt on his face.

This young man in white was naturally transformed by Bai Suzhen, she originally wanted to show Xu Xian her original face, but thinking about the next thing, it would be inconvenient to act as a woman, so she had to change into a man.

Bai Suzhen stood in front of Xu Xian, her words seemed to be a little nervous, she said: "I am a wandering alchemist, and I make a living by doing fortune-telling and fortune-telling for others, when I passed by here just now, I saw the young master's face looks sad, it seems that I have something on my mind ?”

Xu Xian took a look at Bai Suzhen. He studied poetry and books since he was a child, and was deeply influenced by the words in the books. He didn't believe in these gods and gods. If he met someone with Taoism, he would definitely decline, but these days he has The matter of the magistrate's daughter has been troubled, worried and irritable.

Therefore, after taking a brief look at the white-clothed young man transformed by Bai Suzhen, he sighed and said: "What the Taoist priest said is right, Xiaosheng really has a troublesome thing recently."

So he slowly told the magistrate of Hangzhou to choose a son-in-law for his daughter, how he was selected, and what happened recently, and at the end, he sighed: "I know that I am not worthy of the magistrate's daughter based on my background and ability, but If the marriage is really divorced and the other party refuses to admit it, I'm afraid my Xu family's face will be completely lost by me."

A strange look flashed in Bai Suzhen's eyes when she heard the words, and she said with a smile: "So that's the case. From what you said, the other party is indeed at fault for this matter."

She paused for a moment, looked directly at Xu Xian's face, and said, "I just want to ask you, do you really love that woman?"

Xu Xian's face was slightly red, he was originally an introverted person, never thought that the other party would ask such a straightforward question, he was at a loss for words, his eyes wandered, and he stammered: "I...I..."

Seeing his hesitation, Bai Suzhen said again: "A man, love is love, hate is hate, why hesitate?"

In her heart, she was a little displeased with such a personality. In her opinion, a good man is as firm as iron, standing upright, like a mountain and a rock, deep in the sea, daring to love, hate, and dare to act.

After hearing her words, Xu Xian seemed to have been a little stimulated, and suddenly raised his head and said: "The Taoist priest is right, I fell in love with Miss Xianglian at first sight, and I couldn't help but fall in love with her." But her heart was floating in the mandarin duck tower, and Gu Xianglian turned around.

Bai Suzhen finally heard Xu Xian's exact answer, and her heart moved slightly. Since Xu Xian liked the magistrate's daughter but couldn't get it, if she managed to fulfill this beautiful deed, would it be considered an act of repaying her kindness?

Even if it can't match the life-saving grace thousands of years ago, it is finally the beginning of understanding the cause and effect of this period!

While thinking about it, I heard Xu Xian from the opposite side ask: "Since the Taoist priest can tell fortunes and fortunes for others, I wonder if he can also make a fortune teller for me to see if I am destined to be with the magistrate's daughter?" A pair of eyes looked at Bai Suzhen expectantly .

After Bai Suzhen heard Xu Xian's words, she smiled slightly and said: "Everything is determined by fate, why are you in a hurry?" After saying that, she turned and left.

Xu Xian didn't understand what he meant, and when he was about to search, he was surprised to find that there was no figure of the white-clothed Taoist in front of him, and he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

After Bai Suzhen left Xu Xian, she changed back to her original appearance, secretly thinking that since Xu Xian was interested in that woman, and the other party threw the hydrangea ball to him, she naturally fell in love with Xu Xian in her heart. , should have been passed on as a good story, but it was blocked by others.

I must try to perfect these two people.

Thinking of this, he got up and turned into a ray of light to rush towards the prefect's mansion, but after a while, he was already in the sky above the prefect's mansion, and he fell to the ground when he stretched his body.

First, he cast a spell to hide his figure, and then let go of his spiritual sense, and soon found Gu Yan, his father and his daughter.

In the midst of her spiritual sense induction, Gu Yan walked out of the hall with his sleeves full of anger, leaving only Gu Xianglian wiping tears on the spot.

How clever Bai Suzhen is, she can tell that Gu Xianglian's heart belongs to Xu Xian just by this scene, but she is blocked by her father.

The beautiful eyes blinked, and there was a plan in her mind, and nearly half an hour later, the night was dark, the moonlight was falling like fog, and the mansion was peaceful, only the sound of beating watch could be faintly heard from a distance.

Bai Suzhen stood in a rockery in the courtyard, hiding her figure, her jade fingers were imprinted, and there were waves of mana fluctuations from her body, and in the next moment, a somewhat transparent shadow jumped out of her top-door heavenly heart. Only a few inches in size, her body is full of positive yang energy, but her appearance is exactly the same as Bai Suzhen's, she is the yang god she trained.

Bai Suzhen's Yang God threw it directly into the room of Gu Yan, the magistrate, passing through the door and wall in front of her as if there was nothing there.

Once a cultivator of Taoism has cultivated the Yang God, he can be called a great monk, but the deity sits on the ground, and the Yang God comes out of his body and swims freely between the heaven and the earth. He is also not afraid at all, with just one turning technique, he can cross a distance of thousands of miles in an instant and return to his own body.

And there is no difference between the travel of the Yang God and the travel of the deity, and even because of getting rid of the shackles of the physical body, the power of spells is even greater.

Therefore, once a monk arrives at this place, under normal circumstances, he will find a blessed place, set up numerous forbidden formations outside to protect his physical body, and then the Yang God will swim out of his body, plundering all corners of the world.

The only fly in the ointment is that although the Yang God is tyrannical, it is the condensed power of the monk's soul after all, and is extremely restrained by the Taoism and magic weapons aimed at the soul.

After entering the room, Bai Suzhen saw Gu Yan, the magistrate, sleeping peacefully on the couch. She saw her Yangshenyu point her finger, and when she drew her magic power, it seemed like a ray of light flashed through the room, piercing through the void, and it seemed like The sound of rumbling thunder sounded.

Gu Yan, the magistrate, was awakened by the loud noise in an instant, and sat up abruptly from the bed, his forehead was covered with sweat. He turned his head and looked out of the window, only to see a figure about one foot high with the holy Buddha light flowing and roaming all over his body. Standing in the void.

After seeing the appearance of the figure clearly, it was exactly the same as the portrait of the Bodhisattva enshrined in his house. Gu Yan was shocked immediately, and he didn't feel sleepy anymore. !"

But Bai Suzhen changed into the appearance of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Seeing Gu Yan kneel down, she said, "Gu Yan, your daughter Xianglian and that Xu Xian are wishful thinking between two people. There is a red thread in Yuelao's hand as a guide. The fate has been decided. You And why do you want to break up the two of them?"

When Gu Yan heard this, he immediately lowered his body and said in panic, "What the Bodhisattva taught is that I blame my disciples for their love of vanity and attention to etiquette. From now on, I will never hinder the two of you."

Seeing Gu Yan's appearance, Bai Suzhen couldn't help nodding slightly, and escaped from the room in a stream of light.

Gu Yan knelt on the ground for a long time but did not hear any response. He raised his head boldly, but he could not see the figure of the Bodhisattva anywhere. He couldn't help being extremely surprised, but when he thought of what he had just seen, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

Bai Suzhen returned to her body, smiled slightly, and felt that the matter was over, so she turned into a white glow and rushed towards the White Mansion.

On the second day, Gu Yan got up early and sent someone to wake up his daughter, saying that he would never get involved in her affairs with Xu Xian again, and that he would invite Xu Xianji, his sister and brother-in-law to the mansion later. .

Gu Xianglian couldn't help being a little surprised to see that her father seemed to have changed overnight. Not only did she no longer force her to marry someone else, but she also agreed to marry Xu Xian.

But the fact was right in front of her eyes, someone from the mansion had gone to invite Xu Xian to come, she didn't think about it anymore, but she was very happy.

At noon, Xu Xian and his sister and brother-in-law were invited to the mansion, and they were treated well by Gu Yan. Xu Xian had no parents since he was a child, so everything was decided by his sister, and the marriage was quickly settled.

Elder sister Xu Jiaorong's eyes were flushed, and she tried her best not to let the tears fall, feeling as if she had let go of a big stone in her heart.Since the two elders left, she took the initiative to take care of her younger brother Xu Xian, and brought him up with painstaking efforts. Now that she is finally going to start a family and start a business, and continue the incense of the Xu family, she can be regarded as worthy of her parents under the nine springs.

It seems that such news cannot be concealed from the many people in Hangzhou City. The scene of the Xu family being invited into the Gu family's mansion was watched by many people. Suddenly news came out that the prefect did not break his promise after all, and recognized this son-in-law. How many people's eyes are red with envy and envy.

And the previous rumors that the Gu family did not recognize this marriage completely disappeared in the streets and alleys.

When Bai Suzhen in the White Mansion heard the news, a faint smile appeared on her face. By doing this by herself, she could match up lovers and get married. It could be regarded as a form of repaying gratitude!

Suddenly, I felt as if an invisible shackle had been removed from my body, and my mind was lightened.

It's just that love in this world is a small way after all, and what she has been pursuing for thousands of years is to become a fairy and be among the immortals. Compared with this, all kinds of fetters in the world can be let go.

When she first came down from the mountain, she was very confident in her mind of cultivating Taoism. Even if she stayed in this world of mortals for a hundred years, her confidence would never give birth to fetters.But now this belief has been shaken a little. Xiaoqing alone is something she can't easily give up. If she really reaches that point, can she really give up all of this with all her heart?

The people she loves and who love her.

Standing in the pavilion, Bai Suzhen couldn't help but a bit of bewilderment flashed in her eyes. For the first time, she had doubts about her beliefs. It is easy to enter this world of mortals, but it is not so easy to get out.

For the first time, I discovered that apart from becoming a fairy, there seemed to be other things worthy of my pursuit in this world!

The wind blew over her body, and the white shirt swayed gently, setting off waves of white waves, just like Xia He.

While in a trance, out of the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Xiaoqing sitting on a stone slab by the side of the canal, looking sullenly, with a pair of beautiful eyes looking at the water in front of him.

Walking to her side, he also sat down and said, "Qing'er, why are you in a daze?"

Only then did Xiaoqing notice her coming, and said ah-ke, "No! Sister!"

Bai Suzhen smiled, looked at Xiaoqing and said, "Let me guess, are you thinking about Mr. Qiao!?"

"I……"

Xiaoqing wanted to argue when she heard the words, but she opened her mouth, but she didn't say a word in the end. After a long time, she seemed to be discouraged, and lay down on the stone slab, with her feet on the green grass, and her pillow A pair of jade arms said:
"Sister, do you think my temper is really unattractive!?" There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

It happened that there was a cool wind blowing, and a white cloud floated leisurely in the sky.
