Shaoxing five years, July fourteenth.

The folks say that fires flow in July and clothes are granted in September.July means that the weather is going to be cooler.

Xiaoqing took off her shoes and was sitting by the lake happily kicking the water. Like a child waiting for her mother to pick her up, she threw small stones from the lake into the water.But the children next to her can make three or four ripples, and when she hits the stone, it disappears...

"Xiaoqing, let's go." Bai Suzhen called her, "Put on your shoes."

"Hey!" Xiaoqing replied, getting up and stepping into the shoes quickly: "How is it, sister, has Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared?" I went to kneel down and worshiped again. This has been No. 20 years since they practiced together.Bai Suzhen told Xiaoqing that she had been enlightened by Guanyin Bodhisattva on the day of her transformation, saying that she had a predestined relationship with immortals, and if she practiced diligently, devoted herself to goodness, and did not abstain from killing, she would eventually attain enlightenment and become an immortal.So in the 500 years since then, Bai Suzhen has traveled around the world, hanging pots to help the world, and only then has she cultivated this supernatural aura.

Bai Suzhen didn't reply to her words, she raised her hand to straighten Xiaoqing's hair which was messed up by the West Lake wind, and straightened her collar. "Xiaoqing, we have to learn how mortals do and live in the folks. If the people find out that we are demons, it will make the people worry day and night, and they will not be able to live in peace. Do you understand?"

Xiaoqing's eyeballs circled around, Bai Suzhen was half a head taller than her, she had to raise her head a little bit to meet her sister's eyes, "Why? We are not fairies who suck people's energy, you don't even have meat Don't eat, why are mortals afraid of us?" She was naturally puzzled, unlike Bai Suzhen who has practiced for thousands of years, she has already become like an ordinary mortal, not only concealing her evil spirit, but also knowing how "humans" behave.

She smiled, took Xiaoqing's hand, and walked towards the city, saying as she walked, "We learn to be human, which is also a kind of practice. Being human is different from being a demon. Humans have etiquette and rules, which are the norms of all things." The most spiritual creature in the world. Otherwise, why do we goblins have to cultivate human form?"

That's right, but she still doesn't know much about it, she hasn't experienced the world of mortals, and she doesn't know all kinds of things in the world.She only knows that her elder sister saved her, her elder sister taught her spells, and her elder sister practiced medicine to save people and earned money to buy her delicious food.Thinking of this, Xiaoqing suddenly smiled: "Okay, sister, you are right!" She doesn't want to be a fairy, and it doesn't matter if she is a human being or not, as long as she is with her older sister, who loves her and pets her, that's enough .

For 20 years, they have to change places to live every five years.After all, the matter of "not getting old" will really scare the neighbors among the people.Avalokitesvara enlightened Bai Suzhen and asked her to be good-hearted, so she practiced medicine in various places, only receiving consultation fees but not medicine fees.In every place, I go to temples every day to pay homage, hoping to be enlightened by Guanyin again, so that I can become a fairy as soon as possible.

This year is the first year of Laian.Xiaoqing was bored in the medical hall, picking up the medicinal materials picked on the mountain yesterday, took off the small stalk at the end of the nepeta seed, and threw it into his mouth. It smelled of cool mint, refreshing.It is said that the weather is getting colder, but the sun in mid-July is still a bit hot.

My sister went to the temple in the morning, and went to Heqiao Village in the afternoon to see a woman in the village who was suffering from a cough.

No, I have to go out for a stroll, otherwise I will grow mushrooms if I am bored.

Lin'an Imperial Street is very bustling. She is dressed in blue and blue. In her hair is the emerald hairpin given to her by her sister, and around her waist is also the body protection sachet tied by her sister.She was just an ordinary person of eighteen or nineteen years old, she was bouncing around the imperial street, feeling around and looking around.Suddenly, a burst of sweet smell floated to the tip of her nose - it was a sugar figure!

Xiaoqing searched for the taste and looked at the stall with a dozen candy figurines, "Wow..." She trotted over, "This is so pretty!" As she spoke, she reached out and picked up a candy figurine. "Girl, try it, the secret recipe handed down from your ancestors! Sweet but not greasy!" The boss, an uncle in his 50s, watched Xiaoqing lick the sugar figurine proudly, "How about it, is it very different from other places!"

"Hmm! You are delicious, fragrant and sweet!" Xiaoqing was very satisfied, and walked away.

"Hey, girl, you haven't given me the money yet!" The boss didn't expect that such a well-dressed girl would leave without even giving the money, and would chase after her when she got up.

She is a demon, what if someone chases you if you are a demon, run away!

Seeing that the boss suddenly became vicious, Xiaoqing ran away! "What are you doing! You were smiling just now, why are you suddenly so fierce, you uncle!!" Xiao Qing asked while running.

"What do you think! Is it okay if you don't even give me any money!? I don't need money to do business!?"

money?

How did Xiaoqing know what money is, "What is money!?" She ran faster, and her sister said, never cast spells in crowded places.She kept running like this, hoping that the boss would let it go.

Running from Yujie to the gate of the city, Xiao Qing turned around to see if the boss was still chasing after half a stick of incense. The sugar figurine in her hand was blown to half.

"ah!"

You should look at the front while running, and you bump into someone, this person is as stable as Mount Tai, Xiaoqing was hit and sat on the ground, and the sugar man fell a few steps away.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to scold people for not having eyes, he looked up—the white monk robe, the white cassock, and the sandalwood prayer beads.The left hand holds a Zen stick.The words "Do you have eyes or not" are swallowed abruptly. Why are there no goblins in the folk? Why do the people think that most of the goblins are legends, or live in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests? Of course, it is because there are such monks! !

Xiaoqing got up silently, but just as she stood up, the sugar figure owner grabbed her arm: "I said girl, you can really run, give me the money quickly! If you don't give me the money, I will take you to see the official today!"

"What!? What the hell is money!?" Xiaoqing asked anxiously, frowning.

"Stop pretending to be crazy and stupid!" The boss insisted.

Suddenly, Xiaoqing turned her head and looked at the monk next to her. The monk was also looking at Xiaoqing. I don't know if the monk saw that he was a goblin, anyway, frame him first.Breaking free from the boss's hand, Xiaoqing poked the monk's shoulder, "Master, you just knocked me down, and it hurt so badly, please help me with great compassion."

The monk was estimated to be eight feet tall, Xiaoqing saw that the monk didn't respond, "Master, please..." It was really hopeless.The monk turned his head and asked the boss: "Benefactor, how much does this girl owe you?"

The boss's tone eased a lot, and he put his hands together respectfully and said, "Master, one penny."

The monk was startled, he only had a penny, how could this green snake demon not even have a penny.He reached out and took out a penny from his sleeve pocket and handed it to the boss.

"Thank you, master." Then he left.

Xiaoqing stared at the copper plate handed out by the monk, and when the boss walked away, he suddenly realized: "Ah, so this is money!"

The monk gave Xiaoqing a white look, and walked towards the west of the city on his own.For some unknown reason, Xiaoqing followed up in a mysterious way, and just three to five steps behind the monk, playing with the corner of her sleeve with her fingers, talking to herself, "It turns out that you can't just take the things on the street and walk away. I took something and the things my sister gave to the store were money, it turns out..."

"The green snake demon."

When she "recognized" that money is what she needs to buy things, she has already followed the monk to the western suburbs of the city, "Eh!?" My sister is a golden mountain of herbs.However, the monk knew that she was a snake demon just by looking at her, and she must be an eminent monk.

My sister said, we monsters, we must keep people like monks and Taoists at a respectful distance.
