The story of the white snake

During the Qingming Festival, there are many flowers on the shore of the West Lake, and people fly in the upper reaches of the broken bridge in full of green. This is really a beautiful picture with bright spring. Suddenly, two beautiful girls climbed up from the bottom of the West Lake. What happened? How can people rise from the water? It turns out that they are two snake spirits who cultivate human beings. Even so, they are harmless to people's minds. Just because they envy the colorful life in the world, one changed its name to White Snake and the other to Xiaoqing, and came to visit the West Lake. It happened that God suddenly lost his temper and it rained cats and dogs. Bai Niangzi and Xiaoqing were caught in the rain, and there was nowhere to hide. They're worried. Suddenly, all they felt was an umbrella overhead. When they turned around, they saw a gentle, fair and delicate young scholar holding an umbrella to shelter them from the wind and rain. Mrs. White Snake and the little scholar's eyes met, and they both blushed and appreciated each other. Xiaoqing looked in her eyes and said, "Thank you! What is your name, please? " Xiao Xiucai said, "My name is Xu Xian and I live near this broken bridge." White Snake and Xiaoqing also introduced themselves quickly. Since then, the three of them have met frequently, and the relationship between White Snake and Xu Xian is getting better and better. Not long after, they got married and opened a "Baohetang" pharmacy. Life is wonderful! Because "Baohetang" has cured many incurable diseases, and it doesn't charge any money to treat the poor, the business of pharmacies is getting more and more prosperous, and more and more people come to the White Snake to treat diseases. People affectionately call the White Snake. However, the prosperity of Baohetang and the happy life of Xu Xian and Bai Niangzi annoyed a person. Who is it? That's the Fahai monk in Jinshan Temple. Because people's illness was cured by the white snake, fewer people went to Jinshan Temple to burn incense and ask for bodhisattva, and the incense was not prosperous, so Fahai monks would naturally be unhappy. This day, he came to Baohetang again, and when he saw that the white snake was treating people, he couldn't help feeling jealous, so he took a closer look. Oh! It turns out that this white lady is not a mortal, but a white snake! Although Fahai has a little magic, his mind is not normal. After seeing the identity of the white snake, he tried to break up the white snake couple and bring down Baohetang all day. So he secretly called Xu Xian to the temple and said to him, "Your wife is a snake spirit. Please break up with her quickly, or she will eat you! " When Xu Xian heard this, he was very angry. He thought, my wife is kind-hearted and has deeper feelings for me than the sea. Even if she is a snake spirit, she can't hurt me. Besides, she is pregnant now, how can I leave her! Fahai saw that Xu Xian had not been fooled and became angry from embarrassment, so he locked Xu Xian in the temple. In Baohetang, White Snake is anxiously waiting for Xu Xian to come back. One day, two days, or so, the white lady was in a hurry. Finally, I found that Xu Xian was "left" in Jinshan Temple by Fahai monks. White Snake hurried to Jinshan Temple with Xiaoqing and begged Fahai to put it back in Xu Xian. Fahai saw the white snake and sneered: "Bold snake, I advise you to leave this world as soon as possible, or don't blame me for being rude!" Seeing that Fahai refused to let people go, the white snake had to tear off the golden hairpin from her head, shake it in the wind, set off rough waves and push it towards Jinshan Temple. When Fahai saw that the water was flooding the Jinshan Temple, he quickly took off his cassock and turned it into a long embankment, which was stopped outside the temple gate. When the water rises by one foot, the long embankment rises by one foot. When the water rises by one foot, the long embankment rises by one foot. No matter how big the waves are, they can't cross. Plus the white snake is pregnant, it's really impossible to beat Fahai. Later, Fahai used fraudulent means to put the white snake in a golden bowl and put it under the Leifeng Tower, so that the loving couple Xu Xian and the white snake were separated alive. Xiaoqing escaped from Jinshan Temple and practiced in the mountains for decades. Finally, she defeated Fahai, forced him into the belly of a crab and rescued the white snake. Since then, she has lived happily with Xu Xian and their children, and never separated.
