The story of the White Snake
At Qingming time, the shore of the West Lake is red and willow green, and the broken bridge is full of tourists, which is really a beautiful picture of spring and sunshine. Suddenly, two flower-like girls quietly rose from the bottom of the West Lake, what happened? How could a man rise out of the water? It turned out that they were two snake spirits who had cultivated into human form, although so, they were not harmless, only because they envied the colorful life in the world, so one was named Bai Suzhen and the other was named Xiaoqing, and they came to the West Lake to play.
But God suddenly started a temper, and it rained heavily in an instant, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were drenched and had nowhere to hide, and they were worried, when they suddenly felt that there was an umbrella on their heads, and when they turned around, they saw a gentle, white and delicate young scholar holding an umbrella to cover them from the rain. Bai Suzhen and the little scholar intersected their eyes, and they both blushed and fell in love with each other. Xiaoqing saw it in his eyes and hurriedly said, "Thank you!" Please ask the guest officer's name. The little scholar said, "My name is Xu Xian, and I live by this broken bridge." Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing also hurriedly introduced themselves. Since then, the three of them have often met, Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian's relationship is getting better and better, and soon after, they became husband and wife, and opened a "Baohetang" pharmacy, and their small lives are beautiful!
Because "Baohetang" cured many, many difficult diseases, and did not charge a penny for the poor to see a doctor and dispense medicine, so the business of the pharmacy became more and more prosperous, and more and more people came to Bai Suzhen for treatment, and people affectionately called Bai Suzhen the White Lady. However, the prosperity of "Baohetang" and the happy life of Xu Xian and the White Lady annoyed one person, who? That is the Fahai monk of Jinshan Temple. Because people's illnesses have been cured by the White Lady, there are many fewer people who go to Jinshan Temple to burn incense and ask for the Bodhisattva, and the incense is not prosperous, and the Fahai monk is naturally not happy. On this day, he came to the "Baohe Hall" again, and saw that the white lady was treating people, and he couldn't help but be jealous in his heart, and then looked at it, oops! It turns out that this white lady is not a mortal, but a white snake!
Although Fahai has a little spell, his mind is not right. After seeing the identity of the White Lady, he wanted to break up Xu Xian and the White Lady all day long and bring down the "Baohetang". So, he secretly called Xu Xian to the temple and said to him: "Your lady is a snake spirit, you should break up with her quickly, otherwise, she will eat you!" When Xu Xian heard this, he was very angry, he thought: My lady is kind-hearted, and her affection for me is deeper than the sea. Even if she is a snake spirit, it will not harm me, not to mention that she is now pregnant, how can I abandon her! Seeing that Xu Xian was not fooled by him, Fahai was annoyed and angry, so he locked Xu Xian in the temple.
In "Baohetang", the white lady is anxiously waiting for Xu Xian to come back. One day, two days, left and right, the white lady was anxious. Finally found out that Xu Xian was "kept" by the Fahai monk of Jinshan Temple, and the white lady hurriedly took Xiaoqing to Jinshan Temple, begging bitterly, asking Fahai to put Xu Xian back. When Fahai saw the white lady, he sneered and said, "Bold demon snake, I advise you to leave the world quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being polite!" Seeing that Fahai refused to let go, the white lady had no choice but to pull off the golden hairpin on her head, shook it in the wind, set off a surging wave, and approached Jinshan Temple. Seeing the water flooding Jinshan Temple, Fahai hurriedly took off his robe and turned it into a long causeway, blocking it outside the temple gate. If the water rises by one foot, the causeway will be one foot higher, and if the water rises by one foot, the causeway will be one foot higher. In addition, the White Lady was pregnant, and she really couldn't fight Fahai, and later, Fahai used fraudulent methods to put the White Lady into the golden bowl and pressed it under the Leifeng Tower, dismantling Xu Xian and the White Lady, a loving couple, alive.
After Xiaoqing escaped from Jinshan Temple, she practiced in the mountains for decades, and finally defeated Fahai, forced him into the belly of the crab, and rescued the White Lady, since then, she and Xu Xian and their children have lived happily together, never separated again.
