[Legend of the White Snake] Leifeng Pagoda

10

The wing room is not big, but about ten square meters, a bed, a wardrobe, a table and a chair, simple and plain.

There are several pieces of Bai Suzhen's clothes in the closet, and her hairpin jewelry is placed on the table. Bai Suzhen is as familiar with this place as a second home.

She sat down directly, and someone came to clean it every day, so it was very clean.

It was just a short distance, but due to the rain before, the mud splashed on her white skirt while walking, so she had to come over and change.

When Bai Suzhen changed her clothes and opened the door, Qing Ling was already standing at the door waiting for her.

It's just that the clothes are still the same, and maybe the door of the next door has not been opened.

Bai Suzhen didn't force her, she smiled and said, "Since we're here, let's pay our respects to Laojun Palace."

Before they reached the main hall, they heard the voices of little Taoist priests and pilgrims, who heard the voices from the herb collectors just now.

There was a man, Bai Suzhen stopped and didn't go any further.

They must have come to stay overnight. The men's guest room is on the left side of the main hall, which is exactly opposite to theirs, so it is not too late to visit when the Taoist priests guide them.

Qingling stayed quietly behind her, and the two of them had excellent ears, and they could hear the conversation in the hall clearly.

Like Bai Suzhen's familiar tone to the little Taoist priest, it's just a few herb pickers staying here for the night.

"There is still a clear and beautiful voice, which is very nice." Bai Suzhen looked at the jasmine half-hidden in the branches in front of her, the snow-white petals blooming shyly, dotted with crystal dewdrops, exuding a charming fragrance.

They had also seen that group of people just now, and it was probably the weak scholar's voice that made Bai Suzhen smile.

She stretched out her hand to caress Jasmine's delicate petals, pierced a dewdrop with her fingertips, and let her fingertips get wet.

"Not long after it rained and it was summer again, no wonder the Taoist priest said that there might be a holy lamp appearing tonight."

After the rain in summer, the sky is clear, and when the night falls, you can see the sparks in the mountains, and the holy lamp descends, shining like stars.

It is rumored that the gods gathered here to congratulate Zhang Tianshi and lit the holy lamp, but in fact, the spark was just the spontaneous combustion of animal corpses inexplicably.

Bai Suzhen once went to investigate, so she can see clearly.

Qingling was not interested in the holy lamp that Bai Suzhen was talking about, but she was attracted to it when she heard the sound of gurgling water.

When I got closer, I realized that there were two wells, one side was round and the other was round, one was clear and the other was muddy, one was shallow and the other was deep, which was very strange.

Bai Suzhen followed Qingling for a few steps, and when she saw the well, she suddenly smiled, "This is a mandarin duck well, one side is one side and the other is a circle, which symbolizes men and women. "

Hearing this, neither of them had the slightest feeling of shyness and timidity, even Bai Suzhen, who behaved like a lady in every family, was like this.

As monsters, how could they not know about mandarin ducks, the world always says that mandarin ducks are infatuated, and what's more, they chanted the beautiful line "only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals", which is just a superficial thing imposed by people.

So the well named after the mandarin ducks became an ordinary well for them.

Bai Suzhen took the clear water with both hands to quench her thirst, the well water was very sweet and extremely cool.

While drinking water, they realized that there were fewer people in the hall, so the two entered the hall.

The Taishang Laojun enshrined in the main hall was looking at them, neither sad nor happy.

Qingling stood behind and watched Bai Suzhen knelt down to worship, but she didn't see much sincerity, but it was like a mission. They were monsters, believed in nature and didn't believe in these Taoist priests who beat and killed them.

When Bai Suzhen stood up, the sound of approaching footsteps made her frown immediately, and someone came from behind.

She quickly jumped up to the beam, Qingling saw her move so quickly, the snake's tail also quickly entangled upwards, hiding her figure.

After a while, they heard a clear and beautiful voice, it was the scholar, and the sound of water, probably using well water to wash their hands.

Xu Xuan was still wearing the book-length robe just now, and he hadn't changed it out. His hair was wet with sweat and water, and it was still stained on his cheeks, looking quite embarrassed.

He never thought that this Taoist temple didn't even have a change of clothes, and he didn't take care to bring it, so when others went back to the room to change clothes and rest, he could only go out for a walk.

The well water was very sweet, and he couldn't help drinking it to quench his thirst. The weather was too hot, coupled with strenuous exercise, he almost collapsed, and his steps were limp.

After his throat no longer felt scorched by the fire, he wiped off the water droplets with his cuff, and staggered into the hall.

The high threshold almost fell him, and he took several wrong steps before slowing down, so as not to fall.

It's just that the ugliness that resembles a drunken man's walking unexpectedly caught Bai Suzhen's smile.

What a nerdy student, even walking so awkwardly.

Bai Suzhen leaned softly against the beam, staring at the person below with curious eyes, with an innocent smile on her face.

Xu Xuan's tired dog-like appearance was a bit cute in Bai Suzhen's eyes.

Even though her hair was disheveled, the clean and fair face revealed by washing her face, as well as the scholarly temperament on her body, were rather cute.

Xu felt that the appearance of being extremely tired was not miserable enough, but Bai Suzhen heard a stomach growling very clearly.

The scholar's face was flushed, and he covered his stomach with one hand, and he was relieved when he saw no one left or right.

There are various tributes on the table, and it will never be noticed if there is one more or one less.

Xu Xuan inevitably made up his mind, and swallowed his saliva at the tributes on the table. The bright red fruits were tender and delicious, and looked extremely attractive.

Bai Suzhen watched him look at the tribute on the table with great interest, her eyes were straightened, just when she thought he would go to get it, the idiot shook her head hard, as if trying to wake herself up, while mouthing Shang murmured: "No, no, no, don't do it because the evil is small, don't do it because the evil is small."

The softer his words became, the louder his stomach growled, so that Xu Xuan had to stop talking, lightly supported his stomach, and showed a struggling expression.

Xu Xuan finally moved his gaze upwards, resting on the long white beard of Taishang Laojun, knelt down on his knees, and begged for atonement: "I didn't mean to offend, I am really hungry, please please Taishang Laojun Your atonement, atonement, disciples will definitely repay you twice in the future."

After finishing speaking, Xu Xuan quickly got up, stretched forward with trembling hands, quickly grabbed another apple and put it in the palm of his hand, without even washing it, he put it in his mouth and bit it.

An apple as big as a fist was no match for him to bite a few times, so he swallowed the apple with its belt and core, destroying the corpse in the blink of an eye.

How can a mere apple satisfy one's hunger, so the second one was naturally picked up and eaten.

There were people coming from outside, some men, Bai Suzhen frowned, glanced at Xu Xuan, who was still eating with gusto, and flicked his sleeves, the people had already fled outside the hall.

It's just that she also "kindly" threw a small stone into the hall, and Xu Xuan was so startled that he almost choked on the fruit pit and tried to swallow for a long time before finally recovering.

But before he turned his head, he heard the voices of the herb pickers behind him.
