Outside Jinshan Temple, the temple door was closed, and there was not a single pilgrim in sight. There was only a monk with firm eyes wearing cassocks, holding a golden bowl of Zen staff, and looking ahead without saying a word.
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing walked hand in hand, one green and one white. They were both extremely beautiful women in the world. However, in Fahai's eyes, there were only two snake monsters arrogant in front of him.
Xiao Qing stepped forward and shouted, "Fahai! Why do you go against us two sisters so many times?" "Human? Haha." Fahai laughed and said, "As monsters, how dare you call yourself human?"
"I, Bai Suzhen, have practiced cultivation for thousands of years, reborn and transformed into a human body. How come I am no longer a human being?" Bai Suzhen sneered and glanced at the monks behind Fa Hai, "I ask myself, I am more human than these people behind you."
The hearts of the monks in Jinshan Temple trembled. These two snake demons were great demons who had practiced transformation for thousands of years. They were not stupid, and they knew that they were not even considered cannon fodder in front of others.
Fahai's heart ached when he heard this. How could he not know the dirty deeds of these disciples? But the inheritance of Jinshan Temple and the faith of Buddhism cannot be cut off. He drank: "Evil! Heritless! You rely on the profound mana, the gods of the city and the city of the city, disturbing the order of the world, the combination of shemale, the world is not allowed!
I, Fahai, have been practicing for hundreds of years and have subdued and eliminated countless demons. Today I am going to get rid of you two demons! "
After the words fell, he raised the golden bowl in his hand. The staff collided with the golden bowl and made a symphony of golden and sword sounds. The shock made Xiao Qing turn pale and step back. She whispered: "Sister, this monk's golden bowl is It's very powerful, it's probably a magic weapon with five levels of forbidden magic in the Huangpin Dynasty! Last time, I was covered by this golden bowl, and I was almost forced out of my original shape by him."
Bai Suzhen nodded, took a step forward, and displayed a sword with both hands. The sword flew into the sky and turned into thousands of sword shadows rushing away like a river of swords.
Fahai raised the golden bowl in his hand, and when he shined it in the air, the sword shadows all over the sky were frozen by the mysterious golden light. He then raised his staff and threw it away from the air to hit the two demons.
Seeing this, Xiao Qing hurriedly picked up the sword flower. The sword shadow was divided into nine, and the nine green shadows hit the Zen staff.
With a "clang" sound, the nine sword shadows shattered, and the staff also flew back.
Xiaoqing was just entering the realm of transformation, and her ability to shape the body into a snake was shallow. Fahai was already nearing the level of profound meditation, so he would naturally have the upper hand.
Bai Suzhen stretched out her hand, and two water sleeves as white as the bright moon were displayed. They were as dexterous and flexible as snakes and human beings, wrapping around Fa Hai. Xiao Qing also flicked his sleeves and transformed into two long cyan sleeves. He quickly went away and turned into a cyan sky that condensed on Fahai's head.
Fahai snorted coldly and hammered the ground with his staff. In an instant, the Jinshan Temple behind him lit up with a magnificent Buddha light, knocking back the blue and white cloud sleeves of the two demons, forcing them to retreat.
"In the pure land of Buddhism, you dare to use the Dharma to show off your power? My ten golden fields seduced the earth's veins, combined with the incense clouds for thousands of years, the eminent monks prayed, and the six-character mantra seal treasure became the eye of the formation. I have the greatest ability to subdue demons and eliminate demons. How can it be possible that you two demons can break this great power with your magic power?
Xiao Qing looked at the temple with golden light on the top of the mountain with some fear, and said, "Sister, this formation is so overbearing, I'm afraid we can't break it with our magic power."
Bai Suzhen's eyes darkened slightly and she said, "I have to try again."
She turned around, protected her body with a realgar sword, and threw beans in the air to form soldiers. Ninety-nine and eighty-one Taoist soldiers stood in front of the Jinshan Temple, forming a formation and entering.
At the same time, Bai Suzhen pressed the magic formula, and in a flash, she turned into a wisp of breeze and rushed into the temple without fear of the golden light of Buddhism.
Fahai's expression changed and he shouted, "What a monster! Don't even step into Jinshan Temple!"
Let's talk. He took off the Buddhist beads from his neck and waved them in the air. The beads scattered and turned into eighteen golden-armored heavenly soldiers who blocked the eighty-one Taoist soldiers. Then he threw up his cassock and shouted: "Daluo Fatian! "
Suddenly golden light appeared, and the cassock turned into a golden screen and blocked Bai Suzhen.
Seeing this, Xiao Qing became a little anxious. He quickly put his hands on his forehead, green light flashed, gathered in front of him, and shouted: "Come!" Suddenly a group of foxes, rats, snakes, hedgehogs, and other little monsters appeared, A large group of Wuyangyang transformed into Taoist soldiers and rushed up the mountain with murderous intent.
Xiao Qing said coldly: "If you rely on the geographical formation, I will consume you to death today!"
Fahai's face looked ugly and he could only
Then he focused his mind and raised the golden bowl and took a photo. The Taoist soldiers who were covered suddenly twitched all over and took on the shape of monsters. Fortunately, there were so many that he couldn't deal with them in time.
Bai Suzhen on the sky curtain saw that he was distracted and used his magic power to cut through the cassock again, which made Fahai anxious and focused on dealing with Bai Suzhen again.
Seeing that he was about to be defeated, he suddenly heard a Buddha's call coming from the north.
"Amitabha! You are so bold and evil, you dare to attack the pure land of Buddhism. I will not let you live today!"
A kind-hearted old monk came over, waved his hands in a seal, and a huge golden Buddha seal hit Bai Suzhen.
Bai Suzhen's expression changed, she opened her mouth and spit out a beam of moonlight, shattering the Buddha's seal, and said coldly: "Zen Master Jinming Temple? Why are you intervening in the grudge between our two sisters and Fa Hai?"
The monk smiled and said: "The nine temples of the Jin Kingdom are one. Not only the poor monk, but also the abbots of other temples are on their way. You two snake monsters are causing chaos in the world. I'm afraid you won't be able to escape today!"
After Qingbai heard this, the two snakes' expressions became gloomy. At this time, two more Buddha lights were seen rising in the west, but it was the abbots of Hualin Temple and Kaiyuan Temple who came.
The two monks announced the Buddha's name, stood in the west and stood motionless like a mountain, saying from a high position: "The two green and white snakes, why don't you hurry up and capture them!"
Bai Suzhen glanced at the monks coldly. Their eyes were filled with greed. Even the dignified cassocks and Zen staffs could not hide their unworthy true colors.
"Xiao Qing, let's take action."
"Okay, sister, I can't bear it anymore!"
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing transformed into two hundred-foot giant pythons. For a moment, strong winds arose, dark clouds gathered, and thunder roared. The water in the Xijiang River below also surged and swept across the sky. There was a heavy downpour and violent storms in the sky and the earth. Along the water of the Xijiang River, it rushes towards Jinshan Temple at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The expressions of all the monks changed greatly, and Fahai shouted: "Bai Suzhen! Stop it immediately, how dare you use magic to flood the golden mountains, and the lives of all the people in the world cannot be compared to your husband?"
In the violent storm, Bai Suzhen's voice came, "Then the lives of the common people at dawn can't force you to hand over Wu Qi? In order to eliminate demons, you harmed all the people in the world. The mortals you saved in your lifetime by conquering demons are not worth the amount you saved today because of you." I am a mortal who died!"
"You! You evil beast!" Fa Hai was furious. He raised his cassock and turned into a sky curtain to block the monstrous flood. Several other Zen masters helped to resist the flood and prevent Jinshan Temple from being submerged.
The water of the Xijiang River set off huge waves, hitting Jinshan Temple one after another. Four more Zen masters came from the east, and eight abbots came from the nine temples in the Jin Kingdom. Each of them was the only one with the highest cultivation level in the temple. One middle-level monk and eight Zen masters can naturally protect the Jinshan Temple alone.
It rained heavily for three days and three nights, and the water of the Xijiang River surged for three days and three nights. The floods submerged most of Jinshan Temple, but they still could not break the barrier created by the eight Zen masters.
The houses of the people at the foot of the mountain were all washed away, and some people were washed away in the flood. However, they saw foxes, hedgehogs, mice, etc. walking through the water and came to rescue the people. I even saw a Taoist grab a handful of willow leaves and throw them into the huge water, turning them into small boats. The mortals who were washed into the water were rescued one after another and knelt down to thank the gods for their manifestation.
Naturally, some people died, but most of them were evil people who relied on Buddhist disciples to oppress the people. Buddhism was the state religion of the Jin Kingdom. The Jiuda Temple owned countless fields and rented them to the people for farming, but the rent was charged 70 to 80%, and even everyone was currying favor. The monk's stewardship is another level of exploitation, and it is difficult to survive in good times. In famine years, the family is destroyed, and the monks have to donate money to build golden bodies for the Buddhas and famous monks to protect the good weather in the coming year.
Some of the people were indifferent, and some stood up to resist, but the methods of the warrior monks and immortal monks could easily disintegrate their army, and a Buddhist teaching could confuse the minds of the people. Therefore, for thousands of years, the Kingdom of Jin was still the Kingdom of Jin, but that Under the golden Buddhas in the magnificent temples are piles of white bones.
Until today, when the monstrous flood from Xijiang River came, the nine Buddhist temples protected Jinshan Temple, but they could no longer protect Sunan Mansion.
After three days and three nights, the heavy rain stopped, the Dragon Boat Festival arrived, the Xijiang River ebbed, and the two snakes were exhausted.
In the mountain forest where the flood receded, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing lay helpless on the ground.
Above, the dazzling poisonous sun baked them, and they could only lie helplessly in the mud, bearing the punishment of the Dragon Boat Festival.
The abbot of Kaiyuan Temple said coldly: "Bai Suzhen, you rely on evil methods to cause harm to the world. You can no longer escape today. We will put you to death to apologize to the people of the world!"
After saying that, a thick demon-subduing pestle fell from the sky, about to shock the two demons to death, but suddenly a white light rose from the west to stop the demon-subduing pestle, and an old voice sounded.
"Senior monks, show mercy!"
The abbot of Kaiyuan Temple was startled, his expression changed slightly when he saw the person coming, and he said with a smile: "It turns out to be Senior Immortal Huaxue."
The old Taoist Huaxue shook his head with a smile, "Several eminent monks, these two demons are somewhat related to me, and have a close relationship with the old Taoist. Moreover, these two demons are walking around the world doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, and their crimes will not lead to death."
"Senior, are you showing kindness?" The abbot of Kaiyuan Temple's smile faded, "But the people of Sunan Prefecture, Liming, were caused by these two monsters to cause floods in the Xijiang River. The floods were raging and countless people died. Such a sin cannot be forgiven! "
Old Taoist Huaxue narrowed his eyes, "So, you guys don't agree?"
"Amitabha!" A loud Buddhist chant sounded, and a sacred monk with a solemn appearance came from afar, "Donor, don't be anxious!"
The old Taoist Huaxue bowed his hands and said, "But he is the abbot of Luojia Temple. I am disrespectful to you."
The abbot of Luojia Temple clasped his hands together, and several abbots behind him saluted him one after another, "Donor, since these two green and white snake monsters have a close relationship with you, then naturally they have to go online for the benefactor's sake. It is only a death penalty." You can avoid it, but you can’t escape the crime!”
Huaxue Lao Dao nodded, "This means my relationship with them is over."
The abbot of Luojia Temple turned to look at the two demons and said: "Bai Suzhen, you married a mortal privately and caused trouble in the world. You have no intention of repenting and now the water has flooded the golden mountain, causing the displacement of all the people in this mansion.
The crime should not be punishable, but because you have done good things in the world and have merit, I will give you a chance to repent.
Now, you will be suppressed under the Leifeng Pagoda, and you will never come out. The green lanterns and ancient Buddhas in the pagoda will accompany you to pay for your sins. Only when the water in the West Lake dries up and the Leifeng Pagoda collapses will it be able to see the light of day again.
As for the green snake demon, it will be suppressed under the West Lake and will never come out! "
After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the Leifeng Pagoda. The Buddha's light shrouded the sky and restrained Bai Suzhen, pressing him under the Leifeng Pagoda.
He stretched out his hand again, and the water in the West Lake opened. Xiaoqing was restrained under it and could not get out. After doing this, he smiled at Master Huaxue and said, "Are you satisfied, the donor?" Master Huaxue nodded, "Thank you, abbot!"
The Huayu Sect was established in the Yan State, which was adjacent to the Jin State. As the abbot of the neighbor, he still had to give some face. The monks put their hands together and returned to the temple.
The divine light dissipated on the sky, and the people of Sunan Mansion thanked the people of the Liu Sect for their kindness and kindness. The previous beasts in the water saved people, and the immortals fell into the boat, all of which allowed them to see the magical power of the Liu Sect immortals. at.
The legend about Bai Suzhen has also been handed down and is very widespread.
Wu Qi vomited blood and painted under the Leifeng Pagoda, leaving behind a painting of a golden mountain at sunset and then passed away. He never saw his wife until his death.
The Liu cult was accepted by the people of Sunan Prefecture and regarded them as gods. They also heard that Bai Suzhen asked Emperor Nanhua to save them from the flood. They were also moved by such a poignant legend. For a while, Jinshan Temple was deserted.
The Liu sect sent divine envoys to abolish the officials in the city, and came from Buddha to Liu to govern Sunan Mansion. They refused to admit monks into the city, equalized land rights, divided fields and opened up wasteland, and won the support of the people.
Hu Twelve Lang was sitting in the city of Sunan Prefecture. Fa Hai had inner demons due to the battle of flooded Jinshan Mountain, and he has been unable to escape from the world since then. Sunan Mansion became the first stop for Liu Jiao to enter the Jin Kingdom.
Since then, the people of the Jin Kingdom have heard the legend of the White Snake, and have deepened their impression and understanding of the Liu Sect, because in popular folk tales, Bai Suzhen is a spiritual snake who came from Mount Nanhua under the seat of Emperor Nanhua and came to the human world through cultivation. Bao En and Wu Qi got married, but unexpectedly they were separated by the incomprehensible Buddhism and human nature, and were suppressed under the Leifeng Pagoda. He could not come out until the water in the West Lake dried up and the Leifeng Pagoda collapsed.
Wu Qi's painting of the Golden Mountain at Sunset, which he devoted his whole life to, was also widely circulated in the world. Legend has it that he died of lovesickness.
Hu Twelve
Lang sat in the teahouse and listened to the story of the White Snake told by the storyteller again. He smiled softly. This miserable love story between a human and a demon was led by the emperor, and it was not to increase the dissatisfaction of the people of the Jin Kingdom with Buddhism.
After all, the people of Jin Kingdom had long been dissatisfied with Buddhism, but it was useless. The purpose of this story is to let the people know that there is an immortal named Nanhua Emperor of Mount Hui, and to let them know that demons are not as scary as the legends say. What kind of sect is the Liu Sect? The people of the Jin Kingdom place their longing for beauty in the Liu Sect and the Liu Sect. On the two green and white snakes.
As for Wu Qi, his death is also destined. His ancestors died after making a swan song a thousand years ago, and history will repeat itself today a thousand years later.
Naturally, the Buddhists in the Kingdom of Jin would not prohibit the spread of this story, because they emphasize the profoundness of Buddhism. Let Bai Suzhen make trouble, but in the end you will convert to Buddhism?
Buddhism in the Kingdom of Jin mainly comes from the inheritance of Tianlong Temple among the four Buddhist temples. The three sects and four temples of Taoism and Buddhism are the top forces in the Tianyuan world. This is why the emperor did not forcefully promote the Western spread of Liu Jiao. Otherwise, he would rely on the Nine Temples A comparable abbot and several middle-level Zen masters have long been unable to stop the Liu Sect's westward advance.
After thinking about this, Hu Twelve stood up, leaving a piece of silver on the table, turned around and left the teahouse. The story of the White Snake has been circulating for sixteen years, and it's time to take the next step!
