On the broken bridge of the West Lake, Bai Suzhen glanced at the things Xiao Qing was carrying and said, "When we go to Mr. Wu's house later, please stop talking nonsense. I will have to work hard to explain any loopholes."
Xiao Qing smiled and said: "Yes, sister, Qing'er knows. She will definitely control my mouth."
"You're polite, young man. Madams, please stay."
A sudden voice came from a young man wearing silk clothes, holding a folding fan and saluting with a smile on his face.
Seeing this, Bai Suzhen leaned forward a little and said, "I wonder what's wrong with this young master?"
"Ah! My wife is so beautiful." As soon as the young man raised his head, he was lost in the beauty of Bai Suzhen at a close distance, and his eyes were full of obsession.
Xiaoqing snorted coldly, and tapped the temple point on his head with a single finger, and a ball of blue light that no one could see appeared on the fingertips. The young prince immediately laughed and shouted like crazy, danced and jumped into the river.
"Plop~" with a sound, the water splashed three feet high.
Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing covered their mouths and chuckled. After laughing, they said to Xiao Qing: "Okay Qing'er, don't cause trouble."
"Don't worry, sister, a scoundrel like him should suffer a lot." Xiao Qing quietly reached out and flicked his hand, and the young man in the river suddenly came to his senses and shouted for help.
Sunan City is a famous water town in the Kingdom of Jin. There are natural river networks and canals everywhere, and corresponding boats on the river can be seen everywhere. Immediately, a boat approached and fished out the wet young master.
Bai Suzhen and the two walked through the streets and alleys and came to the door of a dilapidated courtyard. It could be seen that the red wooden door was very old and showed signs of decay.
The two of them were about to knock on the door, but suddenly they saw two door god statues posted on the door. In a flash of golden light, two god generals jumped out and blocked the door, shouting: "Bold monster! Don't stay in the mountains." Cultivation, cholera has come down the mountain to the world, why don’t you retreat quickly?”
Bai Suzhen raised her eyebrows. She was too lazy to explain, and said directly: "Xiaoqing, immobilize them, let's go in."
"Okay, sister." When Xiao Qing heard this, she twirled her hands in a seal, and suddenly stretched out her hand and released two rays of green light, fixing the two door gods on the door statues and unable to move. She could only watch them go in.
Xiao Qing smiled at the two door gods and said, "You two little gods with little knowledge will not be able to compete with me if you practice for another thousand years!"
Walking into the courtyard gate, there is a small bamboo forest, with rustling bamboo leaves swaying in the wind. There is a row of houses behind the forest. In front of the house, an honest-looking scholar is concentrating on a painting. It was not until the two girls came next to him that he realized that they were coming. .
He hurriedly stood up and saluted: "You two ladies, I have come to welcome you from afar."
Bai Suzhen smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. Mr. Wu, I think your painting skills have improved again. This picture of Bamboo and Wind Forest in the Summer already has some of the pen and ink of famous artists."
"Ah, is it true? Thank you White Snake for your advice. Without your guidance, I would never have been able to draw to this extent." Mr. Wu said solemnly, cupping his fists.
Bai Suzhen laughed, took a basket of things from Xiaoqing's hand, placed it in front of him and said: "This is the best red-faced ink in Sunan Mansion, as well as the Qihao brush, which are hard-to-find items for the master of Danqing. These are It’s an unused item in my house, and I think it’s an apology for Xiaoqing breaking your ancestral paper and brush last time.”
"What? Red Yan ink? Autumn brush? Isn't this too expensive? I can't accept it." Wu Qi hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head.
"What's so valuable about this?" Xiao Qing said, "There are so many rare treasures in our house, but these two things are just the most inconspicuous ones. If you don't accept them, you're still blaming me for breaking your paintbrush. ”
"This..." Wu Qi was sweating profusely and couldn't think of any words to refuse.
Seeing this, Bai Suzhen came to his rescue and said: "Master Wu, this is also Xiaoqing's wish, just accept it. Why don't you tell us the story of your ancestors? I'm still more curious about the story of your ancestors' painters. "
"Well... okay, then I will tell you two ladies about my family's life experience in detail.
To tell you the truth, my ancestors were not from the Jin Kingdom, but came from that big country in the east, the Jin Kingdom. My ancestor was a world-famous painter, and it is said that the last painting he painted before his death was a masterpiece that made the world famous. There are even rumors that..."
"What did you say?" Xiaoqing asked curiously.
"It is rumored that the white snake in the painting of the White Snake Watching the Moon opened up by my ancestors and became a demon! The demon in the painting specialized in eating human souls. Later, he was destroyed by an expert and disappeared from the world." Wu Qi recalled that he When he looked up, he realized that the faces of the two women in front of him were ugly. He couldn't help but react and apologized: "I was the one who scared the two ladies because of my abruptness.
"
Bai Suzhen waved her hand and said: "It's okay, we are not that timid. What happened next? How did we get to the Kingdom of Jin?"
Wu Qi sighed: "Later, the family fell into decline, and there was a great disaster. An ancestor of the family committed a capital crime, so he had no choice but to leave for another country and live in peace in the Tianzhu Kingdom. After a few generations, Ding Xingwang, a member of my Wu clan, Several branches branched off, and my lineage came to the Kingdom of Jin. Unexpectedly, the other lines declined one after another. Now when it comes to the painting Wu family, I am the only one left, a poor scholar.
"
Bai Suzhen's heart moved slightly when she heard this, and she said with a smile: "I see, I didn't expect Mr. Wu's family background to be so rough."
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing stayed for a while before getting up and leaving, leaving Wu Qi to secretly look at Bai Suzhen's beautiful figure. He was just a poor scholar with no fame and no family background. There were countless rich men in the city. If you can't get what you ask for, how can you possibly win your heart?
…
At night, in the Bai Mansion, after the maids and servants had rested, Bai Suzhen opened the window, sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice.
Xiaoqing, on the other hand, flew to the barren mountains outside the city to practice, because her cultivation was too shallow and she was not as powerful as Bai Suzhen, and she could practice even in the most popular places in the world.
Xiaoqing came to the ruined temple and was about to go in to practice, but she stuck out her tongue and turned into a snake Xinzi, felt it in the air and said with a smile: "Is there anyone there?"
She settled down and silently walked into the ruined temple. The dilapidated ancient temple was gloomy and dilapidated. The full moon in the sky was shining brightly in the temple. Xiao Qing leaned against the door and twisted her body like a snake and stuck her head out to look into the temple.
But he saw a bald monk sitting on a worn futon. The monk looked quite upright and had a handsome face.
A gust of night wind blew, the grass and trees rustled, and Xiaoqing's clothes fluttered in the wind. She became playful and slowly walked behind the monk. Part of her clothes fell off on her own with every step she took. When she walked behind the monk When he was one foot in front of him, there was only a layer of light gauze left on his body, and his whole body seemed to be held in the arms of the monk. He chuckled and said, "Monk, are you really a monk?"
The monk ignored her, but continued to chant sutras with his eyes closed and his hands clasped together.
Xiaoqing smiled and leaned into the monk's ear and said with a charming smile: "Monk, you are so moved!"
At this time, the monk finally opened his eyes and said coldly: "Monster! You charm people's hearts and seduce mortals. Today, Zen Master Japan accepts you!"
"Hey, little monk, it's obvious that you are in love yourself, but you still don't let anyone tell you. How hypocritical!" Xiao Qing rolled her eyes.
"Shut up! You are so bold and evil, why don't you show your true colors?" The monk shouted, clasped his hands together, then pushed forward, and slapped Xiaoqing with two huge golden palms.
Xiaoqing snorted coldly, stretched out his hand and threw the fallen leaves in the air, which turned into darts and stabbed the monk. At the same time, he spread his hands and a green light flashed, and a green sword appeared in his hand. With a slash in the air, a green rainbow turned through the sky and tore into pieces. Two giant palms.
"Little monk, you are just a nobody, why do you care about doing justice for heaven? I don't know if you have the capital!"
The monk looked slightly angry and shouted: "Monster, I am Zen Master Fahai of Jinshan Temple. Although you are a snake demon with great power, you have a difficult heart. It will definitely cause disaster in the future. Why don't we accept you today to avoid future troubles!"
"
Xiao Qing Leng said disapprovingly: "That's not a small tone, Fa Hai, let me see how much you weigh!"
After saying this, she held a green rainbow sword and started fighting with Fa Hai. The two of them were going back and forth, and for a while no one could do anything to the other. Seeing that the sky was about to break, Xiao Qing felt that it was hard to hold back her magic power, so she feinted with her sword. Turned to leave.
"Bold monster, where are you going?"
Fahai hurried forward and chased after him. He shook the golden bowl in his hand and summoned a staff with his other hand. The staff struck the golden bowl hard, emitting a deafening sound wave, which was very shocking.
The sound fell into Xiaoqing's ears as if it were life-threatening poison. She felt that she had lost a lot of control over her body, and her heart felt like being pricked by a needle, which was very painful.
Seeing this, Xiaoqing hurriedly wanted to run away without looking back, but at this moment, Fahai threw down his cassock and suddenly turned into a canopy full of scriptures, blocking her way.
Xiao Qing's face became angry, and he transformed into a huge green python, raised its huge head and was about to swallow Fa Hai in one gulp.
But he suddenly threw the golden bowl and flew into the air, releasing a huge golden light that enveloped the giant python, and then hit the giant python that Xiao Qing had transformed into with a hard hit of his staff and knocked the head of the giant python that Xiao Qing had transformed into into the ground.
The severe pain angered the snake-like rage in Xiaoqing's body. She struggled hard and opened her mouth to devour Fa Hai.
However, the Buddhist golden light emitted by the golden bowl restrained all her magic power. Once she was illuminated by this golden light, she felt powerless and unable to raise her magic power at all, just like a mortal who has no power to bind a chicken.
At the critical moment, a ray of yellow light flew over, piercing through the cassock, and knocked down the golden bowl with a sword. The green python's body relaxed slightly, and Bai Suzhen flew down. When she saw the monk, she said: "Did this Zen master misunderstand something? We The two sisters came to the human world on the orders of Emperor Nanhua to repay their kindness. We have never harmed anyone's life, and we hope that this Zen master will do something convenient."
"Emperor Nanhua? I've never heard of it." Fa Hai said coldly: "Today was a great harvest. Not only did we catch a green snake demon, but we also caught a white snake. We were really lucky.
"
The smile on Bai Suzhen's face turned cold when she saw Fa Hai's eyes that refused to give up. Said: "Today I want to see how capable you are!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she used the realgar sword in her hand, raised the sword and swung the sword energy all over the sky, turning into thousands of sword lights and slashing hard at Fa Hai.
Fa Hai picked up the golden bowl and shined it in the air, and the Qian Qi of the Thousand Swords was suddenly stagnated, but they still came towards him.
After all, this realgar sword is a treasure of supreme strength and strength, but it cannot be restrained by treasures such as the Golden Bowl that can subdue demons and eliminate demons.
Upon seeing this, Fahai hurriedly recited the mantra, and a magnificent 100-foot-long Buddha statue appeared in front of him, blocking all the sword energy.
Bai Suzhen took this opportunity to pull up Xiaoqing and spin around before disappearing.
After they disappeared, the Buddha statue restricted by Fahai's seal also had numerous gaps and was shattered.
There was also a line of blood on the corner of his mouth. He looked at the direction in which the white snake was running away and sighed in his heart: "These two snakes, blue and white, are both capable of transforming into great demons. I can't defeat such a snake demon walking with such cultivation level." The purpose in this world must be extraordinary.”
When Bai Suzhen helped Xiaoqing lie on the bed, Xiaoqing had already passed out. Her body turned into a snake body and then into a human form. It was obvious that she had been seriously injured.
She thought to herself: "This Fahai is so cruel. He actually targets demons like this, and he is very powerful. It seems he has to be more careful."
Looking at Xiao Qing who was unconscious, she opened her mouth and spit out the demon pill, releasing the pure demon power and integrating it into Xiao Qing's body to quickly repair his broken ribs.
Buddhism in the Kingdom of Jin? It seems that the emperor's planning should begin soon. And she is the key, leveraging the foundation of part of Buddhism. As for how to do it, Bai Suzhen is fully prepared.
…
On the first day of June, an auspicious day, Baisha Alley was very lively with the beating of gongs and drums. People along the way gathered around the bright red wedding sedan, wanting to see the true face of the most beautiful woman in Sunanzhou.
But the heads on the street were shaking, the shouts of waiters at various shops, and the jokes of passers-by were endless. They were all envious of the groom, who had married such a beautiful lady as the White Snake.
The groom is Wu Qi, the down-and-out scholar who makes a living by selling calligraphy and paintings.
