Looking at Yun Mengchen's slightly confused expression, Xu Xian calmed down slightly. There was a trace of nostalgia on his face, as if he was recalling the long past. Memories of the past come flooding back, bit by bit as if they are right in front of you.
"Let me tell you a story first, but this story begins more than two thousand years ago."
More than two thousand years ago, the same place, different time, I don't know if the West Lake at that time was still called the West Lake. Just by the lake, an old snake catcher caught a small white snake and was going to sell it at a good price in the market. The little snake is only about the thickness of a thumb. It is all white and has strange patterns on its body. It is very rare and beautiful.
Snakes should be unrestrained and grow freely in the wild. Now it is being sold in this market. No matter what kind of owner it meets, for the little snake, it means that it is about to lose its freedom. At this time, a little shepherd boy appeared. He secretly broke the bamboo basket of the old snake catcher and let the little white snake go.
The little white snake was able to return to the forest with the help of the little shepherd boy. Before leaving, it spit out snake apricots and looked back at the little shepherd boy, as if it was telling something. And this glance may be the beginning of this fateful marriage.
This is a very common thing, but who would have thought that this fateful encounter would be the beginning of a thousand-year marriage. The little white snake returned to the mountains and the forest, and the little shepherd boy continued his ordinary life. Just like an ordinary person, he gets married, has children, grows old, gets sick and dies, and lives in the world for decades, all in the blink of an eye.
White Snake channeled spirits and practiced for thousands of years. She turned into a human form, but she was a stunning woman in white. She named herself Bai Suzhen. She was very grateful to the little shepherd boy who saved her life. Thousands of years later, she tried every means to find his reincarnation to repay the favor of saving her life.
The reincarnation of the shepherd boy in this life is that of a scholar. The two met by chance at the Broken Bridge in the West Lake. Looking back at that moment, it was hard to forget each other. The Buddha said that only by looking back five hundred times in the past life can we pass by in this life. But looking back at Broken Bridge this time, I realized that there was an invisible thread of marriage in the past and present. The man and the monster are firmly connected together.
Maybe fate is so wonderful. Thousands of years later, old fate is revisited, time and space turn, and old dreams come true. At this time, Bai Suzhen also discovered that the scholar she fell in love with was the little shepherd boy who saved her life a thousand years ago.
The so-called reason is determined by nature, and love comes from the heart. In this way, one person and one demon fell in love with each other, starting a thousand years ago and continuing a thousand years later. From the moment the two met and fell in love, everything was wonderful. Soon after, they went to the church to get married and got married.
The scholar did not know that his wife was a demon, he only thought that his wife was an ordinary woman. He also deeply loved this woman named Bai Suzhen. He once said to her: "I would like to meet you in the world of mortals, walk under the sunset, wait for you in reincarnation under the withered pine trees. I am lucky to have you by my side for the rest of my life."
Although the lives of the two of them are not rich and powerful, they are self-sufficient and very warm. The scholar goes out to sell calligraphy and paintings during the day, and when he comes home at night, there will be hot meals on the table prepared by his wife. At night they would lean on each other and look up to admire the beautiful starry sky. Both of them felt that being with each other was the greatest luck in their lives.
However, these peaceful days, although beautiful and warm, are also short-lived. One day, Bai Suzhen accidentally drank realgar wine during the Dragon Boat Festival and turned into her original shape. How could the scholar think that the wife he spends day and night with would actually be a snake demon? Under the heavy blow, he also began to doubt his feelings for Bai Suzhen.
However, Bai Suzhen's appearance also attracted the attention of people in the demon world. It turns out that she is one of the ten emperors of the demon clan, the biological daughter of the snake emperor. It can also be said that she is the princess of the snake clan and has a prominent position in the snake clan.
The Snake King lived in the demon world and had only two precious daughters, one of whom was Bai Suzhen. Bai Suzhen has been practicing for thousands of years and has extraordinary talents. Her cultivation level is close to that of the emperor of the demon world. She is also the next leader of the snake clan appointed by the snake emperor. How could the demon clan’s royal bloodline tolerate being tainted by mere mortal bloodline?
Bai Suzhen was originally the pearl of the demon clan, and her beauty was well-known in the demon world. She dismissed how many young talents from the demon race longed for a kiss. Even Ao Hongchen, the son of the Demon Emperor back then, had been crazy about him for hundreds of years, but he couldn't fall in love with her. Now that Bai Suzhen is combined with an ordinary human race, how can she not make the Snake Emperor furious?
The Snake King was furious and sent many powerful snake clan men to the human world. If Bai Suzhen hadn't fought to protect him, the scholar would have died long ago. At this time, the strong men in the human world were chasing Bai Suzhen under the banner of exterminating demons and defending the Tao, and even regarded the scholar as an alien from the human race.
The so-called union between humans and demons is not only tolerated by the demon clan, but also despised by the human clan. The scholar was so cold-eyed and despaired of all thoughts that he left alone and became a monk at Jinshan Temple. At this moment, he himself didn't know that his beloved wife had turned into a snake demon. Did he still have love for her?
The scholar's farewell without saying goodbye made Bai Suzhen confused. She thought it was a strong man from the demon world who killed the scholar, so she made a big fuss among the snake clan, even going so far as to fight with her father, the Snake King. However, Bai Suzhen was no match for the Snake Emperor. With the help of her sister, she escaped back to the human world. After many inquiries, the two discovered that the scholar was at Jinshan Temple.
Bai Suzhen and her sister came to Jinshan Temple and wanted to meet the scholar. Unexpectedly, a strong man in the human world used the scholar as bait and set up a demon-slaying array at Jinshan Temple in an attempt to kill Bai Suzhen.
That battle was earth-shattering. In order to save the scholar, Bai Suzhen caused the water of the West Lake to flood the Jinshan Mountains, causing massacres. How many innocent mortals were swallowed up by huge waves, their houses were destroyed by floods, families were destroyed and people were killed everywhere, and mourning was everywhere. But this killing shocked the immortal world. The immortal king was furious and sent strong men down to collect the demons.
The person in the lower realm of the immortal world is named Fahai, and he is an eminent monk who has been practicing Taoism for many years. Even if Bai Suzhen joins forces with her sister, they are still unable to defeat Fa Hai. But the scholar hated Bai Suzhen for killing innocent people indiscriminately and causing atrocious killings. He couldn't even accept that his wife, whom he had loved for many years, turned out to be a snake demon.
In the chaos, Bai Suzhen was stabbed by the scholar with a magic pestle containing immortal power. Bai Suzhen could not understand that her beloved husband would actually attack her. Her vitality was severely damaged, and Fahai took the opportunity to suppress her under the Leifeng Pagoda.
The scholar will never forget Bai Suzhen's resentful look before she was suppressed. I rebelled against the demon clan for you, I fought alone in the world for you, I am intolerable to you, why do you treat me like this?
At that moment, the scholar's heart was broken, as if something very important was far away from him. His heart had never been so painful. He also understood that what he loved most was always Bai Suzhen, the person he spent time with day and night. No matter she is a human or a monster, she is always his wife and the person he loves most.
"I have been searching for you for thousands of years and waiting for you for thousands of years. Why do you treat me like this? I hate you, I hate you!" Bai Suzhen's unwilling roar came from under the Leifeng Pagoda.
