kidnap a beauty to catch a demon

Sensing the girl's sudden tense emotions, Fang Yize raised his hand to pinch the cigarette, put it out on the smoke extinguisher on the bridge pier, and said with a calm smile, "Why? Do you know who I am?"

The girl looked at him coldly, with an indifferent expression: "Even if you are a demon-subduing master who can smoke the incense directly as a cigarette, you have to follow the procedures, right? I am not harming anyone and I am not a demon, why should you interfere with me? "

The girl was lonely and thin, and she looked a little more frail and harmless against the backdrop of the white cotton dress. The whole person was like a slowly blooming lily, looking pure and graceful.

Ji He pointed at Zhou Zhou, who was still standing blankly in the pouring rain with an oiled paper umbrella, and said with a frown, "Since you said that you didn't harm anyone or act as a demon, and that you used charm to confuse his mind, what's wrong with you?" How to say?"

The girl smiled slightly, her smile was clear, and her voice was soft: "Today is too boring, I want to find someone to take a walk with me and talk, as long as I am in a good mood, I will remove the charm and let him do whatever he should, this... Doesn’t it violate the demon-subduing rules of the demon-subduing master?”

Fang Yize looked at her with great interest, and said jokingly, "Then when will you be in a good mood? Like Xu Xian and White Snake, after telling each other on the bridge?"

The girl stared at him wide-eyed, as if she heard some funny joke, she raised her hand and pinned the strand of hair hanging in front of her ear behind her ear, and said flatly: "It seems that you have been with me for a long time. From the moment he borrowed an umbrella from me to every word we said, I should have heard it. It’s just that I’m embarrassed, I may not be so lucky, and I can’t be a white snake if I meet someone like Xu Xian, Ba Xin For the sake of a mortal, Ba Gandi is willing to give up his thousand-year-old practice."

Um?Fang Yize sensitively noticed that there seemed to be some stories in it, and subconsciously exchanged a glance with Ji He, Ji He didn't hesitate much, and asked directly: "Since you are a charm, what did you turn into?"

The girl sighed silently: "Are all demon subduing masters so curious now? Even if I don't have any malicious intentions, I still want to know the ins and outs of the matter? In this case, you two might as well make a guess. I will tell you a story about what it was made of. After all, on this rainy day, how can there be so many romantic and charming love affairs with umbrellas, but it’s just "a journey against heaven and earth, and the same sorrow of the ages."

"It's easy to guess, isn't it just an umbrella charm!" Fang Yize turned his eyes around the oil-paper umbrella Zhou Zhou was holding, raised his eyebrows at the girl, and said half-jokingly, "Could it be the umbrella that Xu Xian lent to White Snake? Is there a name?"

"Want to hear the story so much?" Maybe it was because Fang Yize and Ji He didn't intend to do anything for a long time, and the girl's expression gradually relaxed. She turned her head and glanced at Zhou Zhou's hand The oil-paper umbrella, with downcast eyebrows, smiled softly, "The White Snake went down the mountain to repay his kindness, and named himself 'Bai Suzhen', so I named myself Bai Su."

"Then why did you transform into the youthful appearance of the actress who played the White Snake back then?" Ji He frowned and asked puzzled.

Bai Su raised his eyes to look at the misty lake, and said with a calm smile: "Why are there so many? I am a charm, and I can transform into thousands of different human skins, just like the thousand-faced fox in monsters. Similarly, if you feel better one day, you might be able to transform into the appearance of Fan Bingbing or Yang Mi, which is not a strange thing. No matter how good-looking you are, you can make yourself happy, right?"

Ji He paused, and did not continue to ask.

There is a faint intuition in his heart, which may be part of the reason, but it should not be the main reason.

Although this umbrella charm keeps saying that she has no malice and will not harm others, judging from her words and deeds, this is not the case. She should have obsessions in her heart. In order to prevent her from harming others because of her obsessions in the future, they can What I did was probably to understand her obsession, and then help her eliminate it.

Although Fang Yize didn't speak, his thoughts were similar to Ji He's. He originally wanted to change the place so that it would be convenient for Bai Su to tell the story, but when he looked around, the lights were dim in the distance and the rain was gradually subsiding, so he didn't think any more , directly raised an eyebrow at Bai Su, signaling her to fulfill her promise and tell them a story.

Bai Su took the dilapidated oil-paper umbrella from Zhou Zhou's hands, a look of sad nostalgia flashed across her lowered eyebrows, she was silent for a while, and then said softly: "In front of the Demon Subduing Master, I may also You can't hide anything. If you didn't find out that I have obsessions, you shouldn't care too much, right?"

Fang Yize and Ji He didn't speak, and waited for Bai Su to continue speaking.

"Back when Xu Xian lent the umbrella to White Snake, White Snake had already fallen in love with him. Not long after, the two got together. For a long time after marriage, they really lived a life like a fairy couple. But just As shown in the current TV series, there is indeed Fa Hai, but what he did was much more excessive than the TV series. He didn't have any scruples about the white snake's pregnancy, relying on his profound magic power, directly To force Xu Xian to submit, Xu Xian had no choice but to let the white snake drink the realgar wine that can reveal its original shape." Bai Su sighed softly.

"Most good things are not strong, and the colored clouds are easy to disperse and the glass is brittle." Ji He seemed to have a feeling, and said in a low voice.

Bai Su closed his eyes and looked at Ji He fixedly, with a sad smile: "Yes. How can there be so many perfect things, the more beautiful things are, the easier it is to lose them. As I said before, Xu Xian is kind-hearted and good-natured. After the initial shock and accident, he actually accepted the white snake. At that time, the theory of ghosts and gods was still prevalent. Xu Xian felt that although his wife was a snake demon, she was not harmful, even Xuanhu has helped many people, and has never minded the identity of the White Snake. But the word "number of days" has always existed. The combination of the White Snake and Xu Xian was originally a love between a human being and a monster that is not tolerated by heaven. It was an act of heaven to give birth to her and Xu Xian's child. The punishment from the heavens was also expected. 99 thunderbolts fell across the sky on the night the white snake gave birth. In order to protect Xu Xian and the child, the white snake was willing to be alone. Withstood 99 thunderstorms."

"After the thunder came down from the heavens, although the white snake was not in danger of life, after all, it hurt the bones of the immortals, and Xu Xian was just a mortal. No matter how worried and frightened he was, he would not be able to help the white snake heal his injuries after all. " Bai Su said quietly, "After suffering for three or four years, the white snake's immortal root and wisdom bones have completely lost their effect, and they can no longer cast spells as they wish, just like ordinary people. At that time, there happened to be a plague that spread across the entire Qiantang In this area, Xu Xian accidentally contracted the plague when he was helping the patients. Although he was a doctor, he failed to cure himself. After a few days of lingering illness, he passed away because of the plague. What else can she do? Although she will still be alive for the next ten years, her body is like a tree with ashes and her heart is like a boat that cannot be tied together. She just waits for her and Xu Xian's children to grow up. I want to follow Xu Xian."

This version of the story told by Bai Su is different from the happy ending shown in the ending of the TV series, and even more different from some new stories written by some writers. In this story, although Xu Xian is a mortal, he is a good person through and through. He alienated her because of his identity as a monster, and even wanted to replace the white snake with his own body when he was hit by thunder.

And the White Snake also fell from the high altar. After suffering 99 almost fatal thunderstorms, she lost her original youthful appearance and ability to call the wind and rain, and became an ordinary woman in the world. Godson, she originally wanted to live with Xu Xian on a case-by-case basis, but the plague that came out of nowhere left her with little hope for the future.

As for Fa Hai's so-called "good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil", it did not appear like in TV dramas. He is like a short-lived character, forcing the white snake to drink the realgar wine, and he also scolded Xu Xian for "ignoring evil spirits" , There is no distinction between good and evil', and even wanted to use a golden bowl to suppress the white snake under the Leifeng Pagoda.But after White Snake withstood 99 thunders and became an ordinary mortal, he was never seen again.

The White Snake was suppressed under the Leifeng Pagoda, Xu Shilin rescued his mother from the Pagoda after being the top student in high school, and Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen finally reunited.

This kind of story, whether it sounds or looks, is not as eye-catching as the adapted TV series or novels, and there are not even ups and downs, twists and turns, but only the sorrowful sorrow of life, and the pain of not being able to love and not being able to die and sad.

It does not conform to the emotional tone of the legendary story that everyone must be happy at the end.

Fang Yize and Ji He were both fascinated by what they heard and didn't know what to say.

Bai Su glanced at the situation of the two of them, and sighed lowly: "I'm just the umbrella that Xu Xian lent White Snake back then. In the beginning, I didn't have any memories, until Xu Xian passed away suddenly, leaving White Snake and their children behind. During the years when I couldn’t sleep day and night, I talked to me repeatedly, recalling the past between her and Xu Xian, and then I gradually became conscious, transformed into a ghost form from the umbrella, and slowly started to practice.”

But the white snake never saw her.

After overcoming 99 thunderstorms, the White Snake has become a completely ordinary person. He no longer has the magic power to flood the golden mountains, nor can he see the unspeakable, unspeakable, and unheard spirits in the Three Realms.

After transforming into a charming form, Bai Su took pity on the White Snake, and silently accompanied her by her side. From nights when she could not rest in peace, to daytime when she was running a house alone, she could often hear the White Snake whispering, and once read "The Candle Wishes to Say Goodbye, Weeping for others until dawn", also read "When you live, you will come back, and after death, you will love each other."

Bai Su could often see White Snake staring at the umbrella that Xu Xian lent her in a daze, but was reluctant to use it again, until one day, the umbrella surface suddenly cracked, and White Snake choked up silently as he looked at it, and then he found a repair The craftsman came and repaired the umbrella for her.

Gradually, a thought came to Bai Su's mind. She thought, could she find Xu Xian's reincarnation, let him meet the White Snake again, and continue their relationship. In this way, the White Snake might not be so sad up.

However, I am just a Umbrella Charm who has not been hardened for a long time, and my spells are fading, so I can't do it by myself.

In the first few years, she could only continue to watch the white snake feel sad.It wasn't until 18 years later that Xu Shilin won three yuan in a row, became the noble son of Xinke, and married his childhood sweetheart. After White Snake received his daughter-in-law's bride's tea on the day of the wedding, he went out alone with the umbrella from the beginning, and slowly walked to the place where she and she were in the past. On the broken bridge where Xu Xian met.

One year spent similar, each year is different.

The corners of White Snake's eyes have gradually developed fine lines like that of a woman in the world, and her figure is not as flexible as that of a girl in the cardamom age. It is the beautiful scenery of the West Lake in March, when the spring rain is like wine and willows are like smoke, she is holding an umbrella by the bridge Standing there for a long time, as if he finally saw something, he suddenly smiled.

Then, she dropped the umbrella in her hand, ran forward, and then spread her arms, and her whole body, in a gesture of welcoming people, firmly hugged the air in front of her.

From Bai Su's point of view, it was indeed a mass of air with nothing in it, but the white snake seemed to see the husband who had been separated for a long time, and the brows and eyes were like a girl in Huaichun, gradually revealing a soft and bright smile.

All of a sudden, the 18 years that White Snake spent alone in the world seemed to go away with a bang. As long as she hugged the air in front of her tightly, she could go back to the days when the husband and wife lived side by side and raised their eyebrows together.

Seeing this scene, Bai Su's eyes were blurred with tears, he covered his mouth and couldn't speak.She never thought that the White Snake could drive herself crazy just because of a wish in her heart to see Xu Xian again.

It was an emotion she couldn't understand at the time.

##### I am really getting more and more bloody... the thick-skinned author who was kneeling on the ground looking for him said happily.
