White Snake Demonstration Walk

Chapter 181 The West Lake Broken Bridge
Bai Suzhen looked at Xiaoqing, who looked like a woman in front of her, with a hint of surprise in her beautiful eyes. She didn't expect that she was disguised as a man before. After hearing her words, she smiled and said: "Great, get up, little sister Xiaoqing, I will It's called Bai Suzhen, from now on we two will be sisters!"

Hearing this, Xiaoqing grabbed Bai Suzhen's arm and shouted with a smile, "Sister!"

Bai Suzhen smiled slightly, and felt a lot of intimacy with Xiaoqing beside her. Since she was born with spiritual wisdom, she basically stayed in Qingcheng Mountain to practice Taoism, ignoring worldly affairs. The opportunity to become a fairy, but what is waiting for her on the road ahead?

This time when I came down from the mountain, I met Xiaoqing who was also a snake demon and became acquainted by mistake. Naturally, I was very happy, and I had a companion on the lonely road of practice.

……

It's another year of spring, the days go by quickly, and before you know it, it's March, and there are two days left before the Ching Ming Festival, when every family will go to worship their ancestors and sweep their graves, which is the most important time of the year. One of the festivals, Qiantang County is under Hangzhou Prefecture, but the tombs of the Qiao family's ancestors are not in Qiantang County, but in a green hill beside the West Lake. The Qiao family originally lived in Hangzhou, and moved to Qiantang in the generation of Qiao Chenan's grandfather. The county settles down.

This time the Qingming ancestor worship, of course, is to go to Hangzhou. The Qiao family left one day in advance. I am afraid that it would be disrespectful to the ancestors if the time is delayed, so I arrived in Hangzhou at noon the day before, and temporarily bought it at Qiao Chen'an. Live in that house.

Although Qiao's father, Qiao's mother knew that Qiao Chen'an had business cooperation with the Qian family, the richest family in Qiantang County, and a large amount of silver was entered into the account every year, but they didn't have a very clear idea of ​​the exact amount. I was still amazed at this house with an area of ​​several mu purchased on the bank of the West Lake.

Qiao Chen'an settled the luggage of the parents and said, "Father and mother, let's live in this yard with our son from now on!" Shouldn't a family live in the same yard?
Unexpectedly, the parents looked at each other with a smile on their faces. Qiao's mother said: "We know that Xiao An is all right outside, and we can't let go of that old yard. We have lived in it for many years. After all, we have feelings. Your father won't move here yet."

Qiao Chen said, "How can that be done!?"

But after repeated persuasion, his parents still couldn't let go of the old courtyard, and he couldn't force it. Looking at the satisfied smiles on the faces of his parents in front of him, Qiao Chenan thought that what they really couldn't let go of was the memories of the family!

That night, the nebula was a little dim, only a corner of the moon was exposed, and the courtyard was pitch black, and you could barely see your fingers. Qiao Chenan stood behind the window, looking in the direction of the West Lake. After a long time, he sighed softly. What was he waiting for? ?

One night is just a matter of opening and closing eyes, it seems to be very fast, but it seems to be long, as if there is no end, but it probably depends on the mood of the person!

The sky has just dawned, and there are golden scales blooming in the east, revealing strands of sunlight, dispelling the early morning mist little by little, and people can be seen everywhere on the street carrying packages and preparing to visit the graves of their ancestors, Qiao Chenan followed his parents to the graves of ancestors I rushed to the place where I was, and it didn't take long before I arrived at the destination of this trip. I looked up and saw a green mountain and clear water, with wild flowers just blooming, mixed in a piece of green grass. Hangzhou is located in the south, although it is only March , but the weather is already very warm, and the vegetation is green, as if it is already April and May.

Not far in front of him were dozens of slightly low graves with tombstones standing on them. Naturally, they were the places where the ancestors of the Qiao family slept. The three knelt down on the ground and kowtowed four times. The well-prepared paper money and Ming coins are lit to pay homage to the ancestors and burn incense to salute.

At the same time, on the other side of the West Lake, Xu Xian accompanied his sister Xu Jiaorong and brother-in-law Li Gongfu to visit the grave. Tears, a woman, pulling her younger brother alone, raising her so big, how could life be easy?It is bitter and difficult, and only she knows it.

After sweeping the tomb and burning incense, Xu Jiaorong was about to go back, there were still a lot of household chores waiting for her to clean up, Li Gongfu said to Xu Xian: "Hanwen, it's rare to come out, it happens that this place is not far from the West Lake, why don't you take a look around?" !"

Xu Xian shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not okay, brother-in-law, I have to go to Qingyutang to help shopkeeper Wang when I get back! You can't do without people there!"

Li Gongfu said: "Stay in that pharmacy all day, dealing with some herbs, without even a moment to talk, don't you feel bored? Go quickly!"

With a smile on his face, Xu Xian said: "Why are you bored? I learn a lot from the shopkeeper every day, and besides, the knowledge of curing diseases and saving lives can never go to waste for a day. I wish I could live in Qingyu Hall every night! "Speaking, he turned around and walked down the mountain.

But I don't know what has changed in this walk without knowing it?A butterfly flaps its wings lightly, and it can cause a storm far away. In what direction will the wheel of history turn because of Xu Xian's choice today? !
Xu Jiaorong said: "It's rare that my younger brother is so interested, let him go!" Li Gongfu just sighed.

……

But he said that after Qiao Chen'an paid homage to his ancestors, he was fine, and when it was time to go home, he had no intention of going back, and said with a smile: "Father and mother, you two go back first, I want to go around casually!"

When he said this, Qiao's father and mother would not disagree, so he let him go, but before leaving, Qiao's mother looked up at the sky and said: "There are unpredictable things in the sky, Xiaoan, take a pair of clothes with you." Take an umbrella!"

Qiao Chen'an wanted to refuse at first, but when he looked up, he saw his mother's concerned eyes. When the words came to his lips, they turned into a "yes", and tied the umbrella behind his back.

When I came to the West Lake, I saw that there were already many pedestrians and tourists walking along the embankment. Everything was flourishing and full of vitality. Minghui.

The green willows are like the wind, the clear water is quiet, and the blue sky is like a dream. Qiao Chenan walked by the lake with a complicated and unspeakable expression on his face. His eyes seemed to be looking for something. Although he knew that the possibility was very small, he still couldn't stop looking forward to it. , maybe, maybe it is really today?
After practicing for thousands of years, she went through hardships after going down the mountain. So what if her cultivation base is strong?I can't get rid of it.

Along the way, people would greet Qiao Chenan from time to time. He is considered a celebrity now, although not everyone knows him, but everyone has heard of him as Qiao Chenan, and even Every child in the general public knows that Hangzhou Mansion has produced a rare talent in the world.

Unknowingly, he has already walked to the broken bridge in the middle of the lake. Looking around, there is a ray of attack in his eyes, but his expression is a little apprehensive. If he really sees her and recognizes her, what can he do then? Woolen cloth?

Looking down, I saw a small boat piercing the clear waves on the lake, and a few koi jumped out of the water. I suddenly felt relieved. I have always valued her too much, probably because of the obsession of the traveler!No matter what, for a woman who has never met before, the only emotion in my heart should be curiosity!

After figuring this out, Qiao Chen felt as if he had lifted a heavy burden. His body and mind felt comfortable, and his breathing seemed to be much more casual and natural. This is how he should be. It's called "Daoist friend"!

From now on, just let nature take its course!

While Qiao Chenan was strolling boredly on the Broken Bridge, there were two beautiful women resting in a gazebo by the West Lake. If Qiao Chenan were here, he would be able to recognize Xiaoqing among them at a glance. No less than dozens of contacts, can also be regarded as a type of friendship.

Xiao Qing was dressed in a skirt, her hair was combed in a bun, her black hair fell down her shoulders like a waterfall, her eyebrows were narrow and long, her pretty face was white, she was such a wonderful beauty, but at this moment, Xiao Qingyu's cheeks were a little impatient, and she said softly "Sister, why do we have a chance to meet each other from thousands of miles away? We need to go to the high place of the West Lake. Where is there any expert in this West Lake? I can't find any expert! I think Bodhisattva and her old man are confused. You're trying to punish people!" After following Bai Suzhen for a whole morning, but he couldn't even find the shadow of his benefactor, he was naturally a little impatient.

Bai Suzhen at the side smiled slightly when she heard the words: "Xiaoqing, you should restrain yourself a bit, otherwise you will suffer a lot."

A pair of glass-like beautiful eyes looked towards the West Lake, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians. Although she said so, why didn't she feel anxious in her heart, after all, the matter of repaying her kindness was related to her future immortality, and she couldn't help but think of The scene on the Golden Summit of Emei.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva showed his true body on the Golden Summit of Emei, and he felt it when he just came out of the retreat, so he could only ask the Bodhisattva for guidance.

After practicing Taoism for thousands of years, he was not close to the common world, and finally cultivated a human body. Although he was devoted to Taoism and wanted to ascend to the immortal path, he had not yet repaid his kindness, and the cause and effect had not been broken.

But the Bodhisattva only said, "It is destined to meet thousands of miles away, and we need to find it at the height of the West Lake." With these two clueless words, the fairy trail disappeared. She had to find everything by herself, but a thousand years is too long. , even with her ability, there is no clue.

While thinking, Xiaoqing suddenly clapped her hands and shouted: "Sister, sister, I understand!" A look of joy appeared on her pretty face.

Bai Suzhen glanced at her angrily, and said, "What do you know?"

Xiaoqing happily said: "Sister, look at that person!" Stretching out her jade finger and pointing to a figure on the bridge in the distance, she said with a smile: "The Bodhisattva said, 'You need to look for it at a high place in the West Lake', that is an expert." I!"

Bai Suzhen was puzzled, "How could he be an expert?"

Xiaoqing said: "He is standing on the bridge, isn't he higher than the two of us? He must be an expert! Maybe he is the benefactor you are looking for, sister!"

Bai Suzhen shook her head slightly, she didn't agree with Xiaoqing's statement, but she couldn't bear Xiaoqing's softness, and insisted on casting a spell to check her past and present lives. Then a stream of light flew to that person, she closed her eyes, and that person's past life immediately appeared in her mind, she opened her eyes after only a moment, and said disappointedly: "No, his past life was a butcher!"

Xiaoqing turned her beautiful eyes, but saw a person who was cutting branches from a tree not far away, and said: "This person's position is so high, could he be an expert?"

Bai Suzhen cast another spell to look over, still shaking her head, said: "He was a beggar in his previous life!"

Still unwilling to give up, Xiaoqing looked in another direction, there were three people playing chess under the tree, and she pointed with her green jade finger, "Could it be these three people?"

After a while, Bai Suzhen shook her head in disappointment again, Xiaoqing still wanted to point to someone else, Bai Suzhen took her palm, and said helplessly: "Xiaoqing, we can't go looking for it like this!"

Xiaoqing was discouraged and said: "Then sister, what do you think?"

Bai Suzhen frowned slightly, what Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva said was unclear, how could she know what to do, she could only rely on fate, but how could such things as fate be really reliable?
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a person on the broken bridge not far away who seemed to be looking around and looking for something. He was leaning lazily on the railing beside the bridge. He was dressed in green clothes and dressed as a scholar. His whole body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mystery. It seems to be independent of the world.

There was a sudden movement in her heart, could this be the person she was looking for?Then he stretched out his jade finger to point at the person on the bridge, and said, "Xiaoqing, do you think it might be this person?"

Xiaoqing looked in the direction of her finger, and after seeing the figure on the broken bridge clearly, she was startled, how could it be this annoying Qiao Chen'an, how could he be here?

He opened his mouth and said, "Of course not. How could it be this person! Sister, you see that he looks lazy and can't sit upright. At first glance, he is not a good person, and he will not be your benefactor!"

Bai Suzhen looked at her strangely, and said, "Xiaoqing, how do you know it can't be him?" She wondered in her heart that Xiaoqing just caught someone and wanted her to cast a spell to examine the past and present, why did it do the opposite this time?
Xiaoqing said: "He's not tall at all!" She blushed a little when she said that, maybe even she herself didn't believe it.In fact, Qiao Chenan's height is now 1.8 meters. In Daxia, where the height is generally short, he is already considered a "tall man".

Fortunately, Bai Suzhen didn't pay attention to this, she opened her mouth and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you are tall or not." There was another sentence that she didn't say, the important thing is the person!

With just a moment of distraction, the person on the bridge disappeared, and he couldn't help standing up anxiously, looking around with beautiful eyes, and said, "Where is the person? Why did he disappear?" But a strange feeling arose in his heart, always feeling that That person is the person you are looking for, but whether it is not or not, you still have to see it before you know.

Holding Xiaoqing's hand, he said, "Xiaoqing, shall we go and look for him?"

Xiaoqing was originally full of reluctance, but when she raised her eyes, she saw the look of hope on Bai Suzhen's face, and knew that she could no longer be willful, so she said: "Xiaoqing just listen to my sister!"

The two figures, blue and white, walked towards the broken bridge, but where could they see the shadow of that person?
Who changed the fate of everyone?
