Xu Xian quickly kicked the realgar wine urn and pig's blood bowl aside, and asked worriedly, "Miss Bai, Miss Qing, are you hurt? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Xiaoqing was very surprised by his reaction: "Xu Xian, you... you have already guessed that we are monsters, why do you still treat us like this, for fear that the realgar wine and pig's blood will harm us?""Nine-tailed Fox Demon" was merciless, a urn of realgar wine and a large pot of pig blood were poured on it, the scene was so tragic that Xiaoqing couldn't bear to recall it.

An Xiu shook her head and said, "Mr. Xu, don't worry, these little gadgets will not hinder us. It seems that you already know our identities."

Xu Xian said: "The nine-tailed fox demon pretending to be Miss Bai just now kept saying that Miss Qing is a snake demon. I guessed it at that time. You and Miss Qing are sisters, so it should be the same."

An Xiu nodded: "As you expected, Xiao Qing and I are both snake demons. Since you already know our identities, then our fate is over, let's say goodbye."

But Xu Xian still stopped An Xiu: "Miss Bai, please wait a while, please listen to me a few more words."

An Xiu paused: "Young Master Xu, please tell me."

Xu Xian looked at An Xiu's face and said with emotion: "No wonder I haven't been able to find you, Miss Bai, since we left West Lake five years ago. I think you have a lot of worries, so you avoided me on purpose. Miss Bai, five years agoI don't see, your appearance has not changed in the slightest compared to back then, you are still so dignified and beautiful, without any trace of age; but I have become much haggard. Looking closely, you and Miss Qing are indeed different from us ordinary people."

An Xiu nodded slightly.

Xu Xian said again: "Miss Bai, although I haven't been able to find any trace of you these past few years, I have always had a very strange feeling, as if you are by my side and have never been far away. But I can't find you no matter what.Without you, everything seems to be a dream."

"Miss Bai, please tell me that this feeling is not an illusion."

Under his expectant eyes, An Xiu gave him a negative answer without hesitation: "No, that's an illusion. Mr. Xu, today is the first time we meet after five years. Before this, I had neversaw you."

Xu Xian, on the other hand, had a feeling and decided that An Xiu's words were false: "No, Miss Bai, that's not an illusion. I figured it out, since you were able to transform into the appearance of Zen Master Fa Hai just now, you've been fixed in the past few years.It can also take the form of other people!"

"Treasurer He from Bao Zhitang, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li from the suburbs of the northern city, a servant surnamed Li from Hongru Academy, a scholar who happened to meet in a teahouse during the County Examination, brother An from the same inn in the Township Examination..." Xu Xian thought about it one by one, and listed"They're all you, aren't they?"

An Xiu still denied it outright: "No, none of them are me."

But Xu Xian was very sure: "No, Miss Bai, I'm sure now that they are you! I have an excellent memory since I was a child, and I can almost never forget it. As long as I want to remember the past, I can remember it clearlyI remembered that when I talked to them back then, I had a very familiar feeling, and that feeling is unmistakable, they are you!"

"Miss Bai, you don't need to deny it anymore. Since I was able to recognize you from Zen Master Fa Hai's appearance, I can naturally remember that those people are also you."

An Xiu smiled slightly and said, "That's right, they are me. But so what?"

Xu Xian said excitedly: "It really is you! Miss Bai, how lucky I am, it turns out that you have been by my side and helped me in every possible way! You are the noble person in my life, I can have the presentThis achievement is all thanks to your help! Please accept my thanks!"

An Xiu avoided it: "Young Master Xu, you don't have to thank me. I didn't do this for you."

Xu Xian said: "Regardless of the original intention of Miss Bai to help me, I have benefited a lot from it. I thank you, and that is just as it should be."

As he said that, he remembered what Xiao Qing had said before, and hurriedly asked: "Miss Qing said that if Miss Bai wants to be with me, she will have to pay a huge price, and even have to give up the goal she has been striving for and pursuing for many years., Fall short, is this true?"

Xiao Qing nodded vigorously: "Yes, of course it's true. So Xu Xian, give up, my sister can't be with you." She was afraid of accidents, so she had to remind her of this sentence from time to time.

Xu Xian asked: "I don't know what the goal is and what the price is? Can you let me know. Miss Bai, what I said before is sincere, and I am willing to work with you to find a way to face these obstacles. I am reluctant to sacrifice you for me."

Xiao Qing muttered: "It's easy to say. How can it be so simple?"

An Xiu still coldly refused: "Young Master Xu, you are worrying too much. I had no intention of sacrificing myself for you, so some things, whether you don't know about them, have nothing to do with you."

Xu Xian explained: "Please tell me, Miss Bai. Don't worry, if you really don't mean anything to me, I won't bother you. I just want to understand, and then... I can let go completely."

He said very seriously: "If it's because of the difference between a human and a demon, please ask Miss Bai to trust me. Since I sincerely agree with you, I won't care about your real identity. Whether you are a human or a demon, I admire you all."I am not talented, and now I am working in the Imperial Academy. After three years, if there is no accident, I will go to the Six Departments for a rotation, and in a few years, I will be released from Beijing. I may be a magistrate. I say this to ask you and Miss Qing to believeI have the strength to protect you. As long as you don't want to, I can ensure that no one will find out your true identity."

Xiao Qing was startled, and then sighed: "If my sister is just an ordinary little demon, it would be good to have a lifetime relationship with Xu Xian. But, alas... just, you will never have a destiny after all."

An Xiu was also touched by his words, after thinking about it, she decided to treat each other with sincerity, and let him let it go clearly: "Master Xu, I will help you not because I have feelings for you, but for myself, forThe goal of my life is to cultivate to become a fairy."

"To tell you the truth, we had some entanglements in our previous life. In the previous life, you were very good to me, but I did you a lot of harm and made your end very miserable. So in this life, I can only devote myself to being a snake. Even if I practice for a thousand yearsNo results, you have to repay your kindness and get the karma of the previous life to cultivate into a fairy. This is the real reason why I help you, not because I have feelings for you."

"Now that you have achieved success and achieved fame, my mission has also been completed, and it will be the day when our fate is over."

It took Xu Xian quite a while to digest the information in An Xiu's words: "So that's the case, so Miss Bai, you are not an ordinary snake demon, but you are going to become a fairy."

He said, and bowed solemnly to An Xiu: "I'm sorry, Miss Bai, it was I who harmed you in the previous life, and made it impossible for you to become an immortal after practicing for thousands of years in this life. I'm really sorry!"

An Xiu was surprised: "Didn't I say that you were very good to me in the previous life, but I hurt you a lot and made your end miserable? You don't blame me, why did you apologize to me instead?"

Xu Xian said seriously: "With Miss Bai's heart, even if you really harmed me in your previous life, I believe it was definitely not out of your intention. How could I blame you? The only thing I can blame is that the laws of this world are too cold and stubborn, and I don't understand human nature.The truth is, I don’t know how to change it.”

"Since I was very good to you in the previous life, you must be worth it. If a person truly loves another person, he loves every part, every bit, every drop of her. This love will not be because of anythingand change."

An Xiu was silent.

Xiao Qing interjected: "Then do you still want to keep my sister?" This Xu Xian seems to be really not bad, so my sister won't be impressed by him, right?She was worried again.

Xu Xian looked at An Xiu with complicated expressions, and after a long time, he slowly shook his head: "Actually, before this, when I asked His Majesty to help me track down Miss Bai secretly, I told Your Majesty that if Miss Bai was married, have children, and be happy, then don't disturb her life, just treat the encounter between me and her back then as a beautiful dream."

"Miss Qing, you don't have to worry about me pestering your sister. No matter if your sister is a human or a demon, I am not the kind of person who will entangle you to the end regardless of your wishes or your future. Since Miss Bai's goal is the fairyland, ifIf I insist on rushing in recklessly, I'm afraid that life will only ruin her future, so I must let go. Miss Bai has done me a great favor, so it's fine if I can't repay her, how can I drag her down?"

An Xiu looked at Xu Xian, and said from the bottom of her heart: "Young master Xu, you are very good, really good. I only sigh that we are not destined." If in the original plot, Bai Suzhen truthfully described her situation at the beginning of their relationship,If we tell each other, will things be completely different in the future?It's just that there are no assumptions in this world, and the state of mind of Xu Xian in the original plot is far inferior to that of Xu Xian here.

Xu Xian sighed heavily, and said, "Miss Bai, I'm actually only talking about my selfishness. Of course I hope you can stay. It's just that there seems to be a voice in my head telling me that if IIf you really love someone, you should think about her and be good for her. You must learn to let go in a timely manner. Instead of just giving her what I think is good based on my thoughts and wishes, that is not true love..”

An Xiu smiled gently: "You're right. Then Mr. Xu, let's leave now. I believe that with your current strength, even without my secret help, you will definitely live better and better."

Xu Xian cupped his fists at her: "Miss Bai, take care all the way."

Xiao Qing looked at An Xiu in surprise, then looked at Xu Xian, scratched her head in disbelief and said, "It's really over? Is it so easy? I didn't say anything from the beginning to the end, I thought you were going to struggleIf you struggle, I will have to work hard to persuade you."

An Xiu smiled and shook her head: "I told you earlier, my goal is set, and I will not give up my way of becoming a fairy because of anyone."

Xu Xian smiled bitterly: "Actually, I have another feeling in the dark. If I know that I can't do it and insist on forcing Miss Liu Bai to stay with me, it will not only harm us, but also implicate us."Many, many people. Just like what I experienced a long, long time ago. Maybe, that was my previous life, although I can't remember it at all."

"If there is fate, we may meet again in the next life. If our fate is evil fate, we will only end in tragedy if we insist on being together. Since it is evil fate, we must first find a way to get rid of the word 'evil'.alright."

An Xiu remembered what the fox fairy Mei Ji said when she handed her the ruby crystal bracelet in the first small world.Mei Ji asked her to let her change the fate of her mother, the nine-tailed fox demon Daji, one day when the right time came.And Daji and King Zhou, aren't they the first of the three previous entanglements between Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian?

Therefore, An Xiu pointedly said: "Mr. Xu, maybe one day, you will have a truly beautiful relationship with the person you love." It is no longer always a bad relationship.

After all, she and Xu Xian bid farewell.

This was the last meeting between her and Xu Xian in this life.

As soon as An Xiu and Xiao Qing returned to the Spirit Snake Cave, they found an auspicious cloud floating down from the sky. After a closer look, it turned out to be Guanyin Bodhisattva, and they quickly bowed to salute.

Sitting on the lotus seat, Guanyin Bodhisattva held the willow in his hand and said with a smile: "Bai Suzhen, you have done a good job. At this moment, your karma and karma are over. Follow me to the South China Sea. I will transform you into a fairy.".”

Xiao Qing was very excited: "Sister, sister, did you hear that? Guanyin Bodhisattva said that you can become a fairy! You can finally become a fairy!"

An Xiu's mood was even more excited, her task was finally completed!She expressed her thanks to Guanyin Bodhisattva, suppressing her surging emotions: "Thank you, Bodhisattva."

Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded, and said to Xiao Qing: "Xiaoqing, you need to ensure your original intention, do more good deeds, practice hard, and there will be a day when you will achieve a positive result."

Xiao Qing responded seriously: "Thank you Guanyin Bodhisattva for your guidance."

So he pulled An Xiu reluctantly and said: "Sister, after you become a fairy, you must not forget me. If you have time, you should go back to the Spirit Snake Cave to see me. Don't worry, I won't let you wait in the sky for a long time, at mostThree hundred years, no, two hundred years, I will definitely become an immortal and come to you!"

An Xiu patted her hand lightly: "Okay." But she knew that these were just words to comfort Xiaoqing.She ascended to become a fairy queen, and she should soon go to the next mission in the small world. It is impossible to really wait for Xiao Qing for two or three hundred years.After all, she is not the real Bai Suzhen.

A moment later, the South China Sea.

Avalokitesvara dipped willow branches in nectar and sprinkled it lightly on Anxiu's head.Not long after, clouds of calamity gathered in the sky, and thunder burst out, which did not hurt An Xiu at all.In the end, An Xiu ascended to the upper realm smoothly in a golden light.

Xiao Qing waved vigorously at An Xiu: "Sister, you must, must wait for me!"

Fa Hai, who was locked in the golden bowl but knew what happened outside, was shocked: "The White Snake Demon really became a fairy? How could this happen?" He felt that his world view had been hit by 10,000 points!

Xiao Qing said triumphantly: "Did you see it? Does your face hurt? Humph, my sister is amazing, she has become a fairy! Telling you to 'be a demon, I will kill' all the time, you know nothing! JustA stubborn monk who knows how to fight and kill!"

Fa Hai's face was livid.

Guanyin Bodhisattva waved his hand to Xiao Qing: "Leave the golden bowl, and Fa Hai will take care of it on his own seat. Xiao Qing, go back."

Xiao Qing bowed to Guanyin Bodhisattva and said, "Yes, Bodhisattva, Xiao Qing will take his leave."

After Xiao Qing left, Fa Hai in the golden bowl was still puzzled: "Bodhisattva, the green and white snakes acted recklessly. I don't know what kind of magic they used to turn me from a human into a demon. It is a heinous crime to steal my golden bowl.What is unforgivable is that the white snake pretended to be me, put me in the bowl, and humiliated me to the extreme!"

"Why can such a white snake be cultivated into a fairy? Bodhisattva, I don't accept it!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva shook his head and asked him several questions.

"Fahai, the golden bowl of Fayin is a town temple gift bestowed by the Buddha to the founder of Jinshan Temple.Touch it? Can you even use it to assist in cultivation and make it work for her?"

"Bai Suzhen used the treasure of the nine-tailed fox family to imbue you with the aura of the fox family, making you mistaken for a monster, and you have suffered a lot in the past five years. The method is a little too extreme, and you are resentful.It is understandable. But her original intention is not to harm you, but to let you experience the life of the demon clan as a demon, so as to change your prejudices, instead of killing them all. And after you have these five years of experience, the idea is indeedThere has been a change, and I know that the monster race is just like human beings, there are good and bad, not all evil, evil and poisonous things, right?"

"As for the fact that you were subdued by Bai Suzhen with the technique of subduing demons with a golden bowl, have you ever thought about the reason why you were trapped there? It is because although you are a human being, you have a demon heart.Yes, ruining people's future with the technique of seductiveness! Since you have a demon heart, it's no wonder that Jin Bo will accept you, isn't it?"

Fa Hai was shocked: "I have a demon heart? No, how is this possible? I became a monk in Jinshan Temple since I was a child. I have read thousands of scriptures and determined to subdue demons and demons as my mission. How did I end up with a demon heart?"

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva said: "The demon does not lie in the shape, but in the heart. If you have a demon heart and the idea of harming others, you are no different from a demon. Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing have never done bad things, and even have done good deeds many times to accumulate virtue. YouBut because of his personal grievances, he hated them and opposed them everywhere. After learning that Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian might be in love, he deliberately turned into her appearance to seduce Xu Xian, trying to ruin her fairy fate and Xu Xian's future. YouDon't you feel ashamed if you do this?"

Fa Hai said: "Bodhisattva, how can I not repay the shame that the two snakes inflicted on me? It's just that the methods are a little extreme, but isn't the method that the white snake dealt with me five years ago not extreme? She did it,Why can't I do it?"

"Of course, after I get revenge, I will correct my attitude towards the demon clan. When I am slaying demons, I will show mercy to those demons who have never done evil, and I will no longer blindly kill them."

Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed: "If you want to correct, if you want to change, if you want to be tolerant, why not start now? Fa Hai, your obsession has been fixed, and the demons in your heart have been deep. It seems that you can continue to continue in the golden bowl of Fayin.Thinking about it is right."

Fa Hai shouted: "Bodhisattva, I don't accept it!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva shook his head: "Fa Hai, if it's as you wish, Bai Suzhen doesn't stick to the way of cultivation, has a relationship with Xu Xian, and has no chance of immortality, with your heart, how can you let them live a peaceful life like this?Grasping the point of 'shemale different ways', let's take revenge in every possible way."

As he said that, the Bodhisattva nodded his golden bowl: "Let's see what will happen next if you are stubborn and insist on going against Bai Suzhen everywhere."

So in the golden light, Fa Hai saw many scenes, and finally fixed on the tragic scene of flooding the golden mountains, destroying the homes, and devastating the lives.

He even saw the Zen master with the same face as him laughing at such a horrific scene: "White snake demon, you killed so many people today and committed such a great sin, you just have to practice for another thousand years!"Ten thousand years will be hard to get rid of, and you will never become a fairy!"

Those words, that expression, that temperament, are so different from being possessed by a demon!

Compared with the green and white snakes, he is more like a demon!

That person, how could it be him!

Fa Hai felt that his three views had been hit by another 10,000 points: "How could it be like that? How could I become like that?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "If you let your demons spread, that will be your future appearance. Fa Hai, you can stay in the golden bowl with peace of mind, and let the Buddha's light purify your demons well."

"In addition, although you are my Buddhist disciple, this seat will not be partial to you. When your demons are completely eliminated, this seat will release you. If you are still fascinated by demonic obstacles, even if it is a hundred years or a thousand years, I will let you out.For ten thousand years, this seat will continue to trap you in this bowl. If the golden bowl is not destroyed for a day, you will never be able to get out. So, are you convinced?"

This time Fa Hai did not object again: "Yes, Bodhisattva, I am convinced."

Besides, after An Xiu ascended to immortality, other people's lives went on as before, and this small world continued to run in an orderly manner.

Although Xiao Qing complained from time to time, "My sister forgot about me when she became a fairy, and never came back to see me", but she never gave up her practice, and truly achieved "the same as whether my sister is present or not".Do more good deeds and accumulate merit.She swore that she would fulfill her promise to An Xiu, that she would cultivate to become an immortal in two hundred years, at most three hundred years, and then go to heaven to settle accounts with her sister, why did she ignore her once she went to heaven.

And Xu Xian became a well-known upright official in this dynasty.He is aboveboard, pleads for the people, and is not afraid of power.He has experienced many ups and downs in his life, but every time he falls, he will quickly stand up again, and stand higher, go further, do more, and the people's hearts will be more stable.

After a certain traitor was defeated by him, he asked him unwillingly: "Xu Xian, why did you do this? You plead for the people and avenge the people, what else can you get besides their gratitude? It is necessaryAre you fighting to the death with me for them? You are so reckless and don’t know how to adapt, do you want to be a Bodhisattva?”

Xu Xian glanced at him lightly, and said: "I do this, I feel at ease. I just want to make the world I live in clearer, so that ordinary people can live the ordinary, ordinary life they want.Life." Instead of being like when he was young, he wanted to seek ordinary and ordinary happiness, but he had to face the crisis of being broken at any time, which was very difficult.

And the real, deeper thought is that every time he does something to help the people of Li, he will feel more comfortable and relaxed, as if the sins on his back have been offset.He had a premonition that if this continued, maybe one day, he would be able to realize the wish he wanted the most in his heart.

Xu Xian never married a wife and had children in his life.When he reached the thirty-year-old age agreed with his elder sister Li Xushi, he still declined all the marriage proposals from matchmakers, but adopted Li Dalang and Li Xushi's youngest son as his adopted son, raised him carefully, and continued his ambition of serving the people.

Xu Xian died of illness at the age of eighty.His life was recorded in the annals of history and engraved on the stele, and became a legend passed down from generation to generation during the Song Dynasty.
