What kind of Journey to the West is this?

An Yanxia was rashly given a good guy card.

The White Snake's eyes remained vigilant. Although she claimed to be a good person, she worried that the two were trying to trick her into lowering her guard, so she mentally chanted a spell. If An Yanxia revealed any other intentions, she would run away.

But unexpectedly, Yan Xia's fingers slid across her abdomen, spreading the ointment evenly, and then she did nothing else, only saying:

"That's about it. Be careful on your way back. Don't walk through waterways and try not to get in contact with water. If it rains, remember to find a dry place to hide first. This will prevent your wound from getting worse."

The white snake was slightly startled, then raised its head to look at An Yanxia. With a hint of confusion and doubt, it crawled into the grass and gradually disappeared.

Only Xue Shier felt that this scene was familiar.

Is this fishing?!

Journey to the West by the Supreme Immortal: Chapter 268 [Fishing Hook]

"You're letting her go now?"

"Otherwise, I can't catch up."

An Yanxia sucked her fingers innocently and said, "Even if she caught up, I couldn't trap her. You saw Xue Shi'er too. She ran very fast."

Xue Shier thought so too, but she also felt that this stinky Taoist priest would not give up easily. She always felt that she was plotting something again.

After a while, Yu Qinghuai and several gatekeepers came over with lanterns, all asking in confusion:

"Huh? Why are you two here? Have you seen that little thief?"

Xue Shi'er didn't know what was going on, and said angrily, "The stinky Taoist priest let him escape."

People say that a child's face is fickle and a girl's mood is like July. Xue Shi'er is both a girl and a child, and her temper can change quickly.

An Yanxia said happily: "You are just being reminded of the past. Don't slander me."

Yu Qinghuai and several monks were puzzled, but they were still puzzled when they heard An Yanxia let him go.

Yan Xia said, "That thief is a white snake spirit, capable of escaping into the heavens and into the earth. Just now, she accidentally bumped into a fire, breaking her magical power, and that's why we caught her."

"But her magical power is indeed powerful. Even I find it difficult to trap her."

Magical skills, each with its own mysteries. For example, Snow Lion's infinite transformations and An Yanxia's Three Palaces Divine Fire are all personal skills. Using one's own weaknesses to attack others' strengths is truly unthinkable.

Just like the Monkey King with his bronze head and iron bones, seventy-two transformations, and somersault cloud, he still cannot escape from the Buddha's kingdom in his palm and cannot break free from the Five Finger Mountain.

After hearing this, several monks felt that this was a difficult situation and complained, "What should we do? Are we just going to let her come and go as she pleases in our warehouse?"

"Alas! There's still a lot of gold and silver in the treasury, all for the temple's expenses. There's also precious medicine that needs to be presented to the court. If we run out of it, even if we lose our heads, it won't be any use!"

The monks spread their hands and complained bitterly.

An Yanxia said: "Don't worry, I have my own way to solve it.

"The snake demon's escape technique was destroyed by the flames, which shows that her magical powers are likely to be defeated by fire magic."

The monks also brainstormed and suggested: "We can put a brazier behind the door."

"No, no, no! What if she doesn't go through the main door? We should put torches on the wall! If the snake demon comes, it will be burned by the flames."

"Wouldn't that mean we'd have to put up a wall of torches? We might as well just cover the wall with kerosene. Once she gets in, we'll light the kerosene."

Miss Yu also said: "I have a talisman that can summon the sea of fire and hell. Although it is not a fire spell, it can still temporarily trap it in the sea of fire and hell."

An Yanxia quickly stopped their wild ideas.

She figured that if they didn't catch the thieves, they would burn down the warehouse first...

She said, "I will take care of this matter."

Several monks had been harassed by the snake demon for a long time and knew how powerful this thief was. They said worriedly, "Master, it's not that we don't trust you. It's just that we can't think of a solution that will satisfy both of us."

"Yes. This snake demon has been coming to my Nanshan Herb Garden for over a month now, and every time it comes, it's as if it's somewhere uninhabited. Using fire magic is fine, but as you said, our warehouse is made of wood, and I'm afraid the fire dragon will burn it all down."

Seeing Yan Xia's confidence, Yu Qinghuai said, "Everyone, why not listen to your thoughts first?"

Only then did the monks stop complaining.

But contrary to their expectations, An Yanxia did not use any spells or fire magic. Instead, she took out a large piece of gold and said to Xue Shier:

"Tomorrow morning, please go to the city's pharmacy and buy all the medicines for treating wind, calming the mind, and replenishing qi, such as bezoar, fangfeng, xianlingpi, mulberry parasitic plant, and nine-hole cassia seed, and put them in the warehouse.

"Remember to buy everything and don't leave any."

Everyone was puzzled at first, but after a moment's thought, they suddenly understood. A shadowy figure of a Dharma image appeared behind An Yanxia.

The Bull-Headed Shri Vajra King appeared, dressed in a white robe with fluttering belts, a golden bell hanging from his waist, and flew to the eaves of the warehouse roof with his hands clasped together.

Quietly changing: the Bull-Headed Vajra King turned into a palm-sized, red-painted wooden old bull, standing on the eaves, looking up at the moon.

A few young monks looked at the wooden carving of an old cow on the roof, rubbed their eyes quickly, turned to look at An Yanxia, and took a breath.

Niu-Tau Shri is the Dharma form of the Bodhisattva Vehicle.

There are ten levels of merit and fruit in the practice of the Bodhisattva Vehicle, progressing from level one to level ten.

The seventh stage, the Far-reaching Stage, aims to cultivate the merit of no form, so that the true Buddha in the heart can manifest external form, which is the so-called "Dharma form".

Bodhisattva reaches the seventh stage!

As far as they know, the abbot, Elder Fa Ming, is also practicing at the fourth level of Flame Wisdom!

A few people were terrified and asked hurriedly, "May I ask who the Bodhisattva is?"

......................

At five o'clock in the morning, the rooster crowed.

There was another light rain in the second half of the night, but the air in the mountains was not fresh at all, but rather very hot and stuffy.

The white snake ran through the grass, and the ointment under her belly had long been washed away by the mud and water. A burning sensation made her spit out her tongue and hiss uncontrollably.

Seeing that the sky was gradually brightening, she did not dare to waste time and hurried through a peach forest and saw a stone wall.

There is a wide dog-like tunnel on the stone wall. After passing through it, you will reach a low cave.

Hearing the noise, a green snake, which was much smaller than the white snake, raised its head and hissed weakly.

"Xiaoqing, don't move. I just found some medicine for you. Take it first."

After the White Snake finished speaking, it opened its mouth and spat out a lot of malt sugar cubes that it had picked, stolen, or swallowed accidentally. All of them were pitted with pits caused by the corrosion of gastric juice.

The white snake spat it out, then bit it into pieces and mixed it in a stone mortar. Then she took a bite of it and fed the green snake the medicine mouthful by mouthful.

"how do you feel?"

"Sister, I feel better now, but my stomach is still hot."

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't placed the relic in the cave, you wouldn't have swallowed it by mistake... Alas, I only regret that I'm not financially well-off. Otherwise, I could have bought the recipe that could save you from Zhong Nanshan."

"Don't blame yourself, sister. It was my fault for not asking clearly before swallowing the relic."

The green snake spoke a few words intermittently, and said weakly: "Thirst."

When the white snake heard this, it hurried outside the cave and bit off a few fruits for her to suck the juice.

But her every move allowed the green snake to see her burned lower abdomen.

When the green snake asked, she just mumbled and evaded the question, refusing to speak clearly. She continued, "Your condition hasn't stabilized yet. It's a pity that the mountain windproof is out of season. I'll go to the city tomorrow to find some for you."

The green snake said distressedly, "Sister, don't go. You're already injured, and people will definitely be more cautious without medicine. My condition isn't that serious, but you need to rest for a few more days!"

The white snake shook its head.

"It's okay. I'll just go to another pharmacy tomorrow. There are a lot of herbs here, and they're not worth much. I'll take some that they won't notice."

The rooster crowed at dawn, and there was chaos in Jinshan Temple again.

When the monk in charge of the medicine garden heard that the warehouse had been robbed again, he felt so shocked that his eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

He complained to Elder Fa Ming, "Thieves are truly despicable. They're specifically targeting my family!"

Elder Fa Ming was helpless and could only say a few words of comfort.

The young novice monk Jiang Liu, who was sitting nearby beating a wooden fish, suddenly looked up at Elder Fa Ming and said, "Master, I heard a wind blowing from the South Mountain last night."

"It was as if I saw a huge Buddha light shining on Baiyang Ridge outside the city, like the iron sparks seen on New Year's Day in the city, so bright! The sky was even bright!"

After Jiang Liu said this, Elder Fa Ming became very alert.

Baiyang Ridge is only seven or eight miles outside Qingyun County, but why is there Buddha's light there?

Fa Ming remembered that no Buddhist group passed by during this period, nor had he heard of any Bodhisattva or Venerable passing through Donglai.

He went to ask the two Jiedis, the gold-headed and the silver-headed, who were guarding Jiang Liu. The two Jiedis were shocked when they heard what he said, and seemed to know something, but they were vague and refused to tell him.

The two Jiedis looked at each other and said, "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed."

On one hand, the herb garden was robbed, and on the other hand, the Buddha's light shone brightly on Baiyang Ridge. For a time, strange things broke out, and these two Jiedis were still playing the role of riddlers!

Elder Fa Ming was speechless and could only shout again, "Hurry up and go to the medicine garden to invite Cangzhou Zhenren An Yanxia!"

As soon as the voice fell, the monk in charge of the medicine garden clasped his hands together in a salute and hurried to the medicine garden.

Not long after, An Yanxia arrived at the monk's room.

Elder Fa Ming was much more respectful than last time. He personally served tea to Yan Xia and asked:

"Master, I heard there were thieves again last night. I wonder how they handled it?"

Yan Xia smiled and said, "Don't worry, Elder. Since I have agreed to this, I will definitely do it."

"At the very least, I still have to get my hands on your purple gold glass cup, right? And for this matter, I'll also help you catch this little thief.

"Besides, I've made some progress."

Elder Fa Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Let’s not talk about the matter of the Buddha’s light in Baiyangling for now, but at least there is some clue as to the theft in the medicine garden.

Yan Xia asked, "The one who stole the medicine is a white snake that has transformed into a spirit. I think it's over four feet long and has even refined its transverse bones. I wonder if the elder knows the details of this snake demon."

When Fa Ming heard this, he frowned slightly.

"This... the white snake has become a spirit... then maybe I actually know something."

"Please say."

"If I'm not mistaken, the white snake you're talking about is the one from Mount Zhongnan. I don't know what wrong she committed that forced her to travel thousands of miles to Qingyun County to practice in seclusion. She also has a younger sister who lives with her, a green snake who has achieved enlightenment..."

As Elder Fa Ming was speaking, a paper crane suddenly flew in from the windowsill and landed in Yan Xia's hand.

This was sent by Xue Shier.

She was assigned by An Yanxia to purchase medicines in the city, and now she has completed the task.

Yan Xia felt something and said with a smile, "White Snake and Green Snake...it's true that it's better to be soft than hard. Let me be Xu Xian'er!"

"Xiaoqing, open your mouth."

On the stone platform, the green snake opened its mouth.

When the white snake looked inside, it saw a round, shining bead that was emitting light.

But the bead was not at peace. It trembled from time to time, as if it was about to fly out of the green snake's belly at any time.

Xiaoqing said fearfully, "Sister, am I going to die?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Shut up. I'll gather some gold and silver, go to Mount Zhongnan, and buy the antidote to save you!"

"Don't go! I made a terrible mistake on Guanyin Peak. If I go back, I'm afraid I'll be captured by the Buddhist monks and locked up in a pagoda."

The white snake consoled him, "I still have the magical power of escaping that I learned in Mount Li. Those monks can only see me, but they can't catch me."

"Let's not talk about it for now. I'm going out for a while."

With that, the White Snake left the cave and arrived at a peach forest. It was already July, and the peach trees were laden with wild peaches. As they walked through them, they felt the fragrance of the flowers buried in the mud beneath them.

Halfway through the walk, sparse raindrops began to fall from the sky, hitting the soil with a crackling sound, soaking the fallen petals in the mud.
