In "The Legend of White Snake", Jinshan Temple is undoubtedly a very important place name.
It is the place where the monk Fahai practiced and where many important plots took place.
But even so, Du Qian's previous impression of Jinshan Temple was that it was just an earthly Buddhist temple.
Until just now, when he saw the colorful cassock on Fahai and the nine-ring staff in his hand, he suddenly had an idea and connected this Jinshan Temple with the Jinshan Temple in Journey to the West.
...Yes, the three treasures on Fahai are the brocade cassock, the nine-ring staff and the purple gold bronze bowl.
These three are exactly the same Buddhist treasures that Tang Sanzang carried with him when he traveled west to seek Buddhist scriptures.
Combined with the timeline after the journey to the West and Fahai's obviously unusual attitude when facing Guanyin Bodhisattva, Du Qian had a guess that Fahai actually inherited the mantle passed down by Tang Monk after he returned from becoming a Buddha.
It was because of this that Du Qian was able to guess his identity when he saw the nine-ring staff and the brocade robes.
"No wonder the Jade Emperor gave Fahai the elixir and Tathagata looked at him differently. It turns out there is a reason behind this..."
Du Qian looked at the direction where Fahai left with great interest.
At this moment, the guy next to him couldn't help but ask, "Hey, do you still want to stay here?"
Du Qian came back to his senses, smiled, and was about to speak when he suddenly seemed to realize something and turned to look at the fog behind him.
"... No way, here we go again, is this ever going to end?"
Du Qian looked at the fog with a frown on his face. Through the fog, he saw two beautiful figures that had just arrived.
"Um?"
Du Qian was slightly startled, and saw two young and beautiful girls, one in blue and one in white, walking out of the mist.
The woman on the left was wearing a green silk dress. She had a slim figure, willow-shaped eyebrows, skin as white as cream, lips as red as rouge, and a charming smile. She was in no way inferior to the fairies Du Qian had seen in heaven.
And next to the woman in green dress, the woman in white dress is even more stunningly beautiful.
Her fairy-like appearance was so stunning that even Du Qian, who came from the upper world, could not help but be amazed.
Her black hair is like a waterfall, her temples are like clouds and mist, her eyebrows are like phoenixes, her eyes are bright, her gaze is charming, her bones are like ice, her lips are red. When she walks, she is graceful and elegant, like a lotus with every step. She is like an orchid in a deep valley, exuding a clear and ethereal temperament.
"One blue and one white, could it be them?"
Du Qian came back to his senses and looked at the two women with a strange expression.
Just then, he noticed that the guy behind the counter seemed to be stunned as well, staring straight at the two stunning beauties.
Du Qian twitched his lips, raised his hand and snapped his fingers in front of the waiter, and said with a frown, "Alright, that's enough, are you still going to do this business or not?"
“…Do it, do it!”
The waiter came back to his senses, looked away with difficulty, and asked quickly, "Where are you from, sir?"
It was a familiar code again. Du Qian answered fluently, quickly took the lantern and walked towards the street.
At this time, the two women, one in blue and one in white, came to the counter and were warmly received by the waiter.
Du Qian paid attention to the conversation between the two girls and the waiter. Seeing that they did not give their names, he was slightly disappointed and stepped into the black wall.
In just a moment, the world in front of him suddenly became clear, and an independent cave world appeared in front of Du Qian.
This place is called Banbudu Inn, but in fact it is much more than just an inn.
The place where Du Qian was at the moment seemed to be a dark cave with vines climbing up the walls. There was a counter in the cave, behind which stood another waiter with a strange appearance, and in front of the counter stood Fahai, who had just entered the place and was currently receiving a wooden sign with his room number.
Seeing Du Qian coming, Fahai glanced at him, saluted with one hand raised, and then left with the house card.
Du Qian nodded, walked to the counter, picked up the room skillfully, and then walked to the entrance of the cave.
Looking up, I saw countless houses of different styles standing in the valley ahead.
Among them are not only magnificent palaces, elegant courtyards, simple inns, but also some extremely special residences, such as underwater palaces and caves beside the mountains, which are obviously special services provided for special people.
Du Qian walked out of the cave, stepped onto the road, and soon came to a simple courtyard and moved in.
The services here are indeed very comprehensive. If we have to say if there is any shortcoming, it is probably the lack of daylight. No matter whether it is day or night outside, it is always dim here.
Thinking of this, Du Qian looked at the sky with some regret, flipped his right hand, took out a sword that was shining with cold light, and then transformed himself into a free and easy swordsman in white.
"In this way, Xu Xian shouldn't be able to recognize me, right?"
Du Qian looked at himself in the bronze mirror, nodded with satisfaction, and then strode out of the house.
Walking on the dim streets, there are not only physical figures coming and going, but also some translucent wandering souls.
But no matter whether they are human, demon, immortal or ghost, they must coexist peacefully in this Banbuduo Inn and must not attack each other at will.
Du Qian didn’t know who made these rules, he only knew that even if one was from Heaven, one had to abide by the rules here.
Du Qian looked at the scene on the street with great interest while striding quickly and soon arrived at an inn.
Although this is called an inn, it is actually a restaurant specifically for humans, and the food provided there is relatively normal.
Just like now, Fahai is sitting on a small bench outside the inn, with the nine-ring tin staff beside him, eating vegetarian noodles while glancing at the guests who are eating in the inn.
Du Qian followed his gaze and saw the figure of the old man in Taoist robes.
After a little thought, Du Qian raised the corner of his mouth, walked forward, and sat in front of Fahai, just blocking his sight.
Fahai was slightly startled, then frowned and said, "Amitabha, benefactor, there is someone here."
Du Qian said with a smile: "It's just a table, why are you so stingy!"
Fahai frowned, and suddenly a golden light flashed in his eyes. He glanced at Du Qian, and then whispered, "It turned out to be you."
Du Qian was stunned, then looked at Fahai in surprise.
...This bald guy is really good!
Although he was only using the basic transformation spell that he learned automatically as his cultivation level improved, the gap in their realms was there after all. Fahai was able to transcend the realms and see through the confusion. He was indeed worthy of being the successor of Sandalwood Merit Buddha!
Seeing that Fahai recognized him, Du Qian simply stopped pretending and asked with a smile: "Master Fahai, I have also seen the guy in the inn. He is just an old ginseng spirit who has practiced for thousands of years. He has no resentment and no karma. Why are you chasing him?"
Fahai paused, then put down his bowl and chopsticks, clasped his hands together, and said calmly: "Amitabha, people are people, monsters are monsters, and it is our duty to exorcise monsters. Why do we need any reason?" Du Qian blinked and asked back: "Don't you need it?"
"unnecessary."
"Really?"
“…”
Fahai glanced at Du Qian and said calmly: "A monster is a monster. As long as the devil is not eliminated in the heart, even if everything is peaceful for the time being, it will harm the world sooner or later."
"The donor has magical powers and profound cultivation. I think he has practiced for decades. Don't you even understand this principle?"
Du Qian did not comment, but curled his lips and said, "If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. You are using something that others have not done as evidence of your own righteousness and crime of exorcising demons. What kind of logic is this? I cannot agree with it!"
“…”
Fahai put down his bowl and chopsticks, picked up his staff, stood up, glanced at Du Qian, and said calmly: "Amitabha, people with different beliefs cannot work together."
"You are also a practitioner, you don't think that words can shake my Zen mind, right?"
"No matter what, if you don't intend to stop me, then please do as you please. If you want to stop me, then you can show your true colors with your own hands!"
After saying this, Fahai picked up the nine-ring staff and strode away.
Du Qian looked at his back and curled his lips, thinking that Fahai's personality was not much different from the original drama.
If this is the case, there will definitely be a scene in the future where Xu Xian fights with Fahai for his beloved wife.
Thinking of this, Du Qian smiled, waved his hand, and ordered the must-have dishes for a martial arts hero, namely braised beef with soy sauce and roasted pork with mustard greens.
Not long after, when Du Qian was eating meat and drinking wine, Xu Xian's figure finally appeared here.
At the same time, the two women, one in blue and one in white, appeared from the street and walked gracefully into the inn.
Here it comes!
Du Qian's spirits lifted up, and he immediately picked up the wine bowl, staring intently at the fateful meeting before him.
Xu Xian packed up the food, thanked the waiter with a smile, then turned around and saw the two women behind him.
When their eyes met, Xu Xian was slightly startled, staring blankly at the beautiful face of the woman in the white dress.
The woman in the white dress was also stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses. Her pretty face blushed slightly, and she looked at the handsome scholar in front of her, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
"Hello!"
A pretty face that was no less pretty than the former squeezed in between the two of them, stared at Xu Xian, and said arrogantly: "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a woman before?"
Xu Xian stared at the face of the woman in the white dress and replied subconsciously: "I have seen women before, but this is the first time I have seen such a beautiful woman..."
The woman in the white dress had never heard such straightforward compliments before. Her face immediately turned redder and she lowered her head slightly.
"ha?!"
The woman in green put her hands on her hips and looked at Xu Xian in disbelief: "You...you...you scoundrel!"
After hearing this, Xu Xian finally came to his senses. His face immediately turned red. He waved his hands repeatedly and said awkwardly, "No, no, no, girl, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to... it's just... it's just..."
Seeing Xu Xian talking incoherently, the woman in green was about to curse him when she was suddenly pulled by the woman in white next to her.
The woman in green was slightly startled, and turned around to see the woman in white shaking her head. She sighed, turned around and glared at Xu Xian, saying:
"Get out of the way!"
"……oh oh!"
Xu Xian quickly dodged to the side and made way.
When the two girls passed by him, Xu Xian looked at the profile of the girl in the white dress. He suddenly felt an impulse and couldn't help asking, "Girl, what's your name?"
Before he finished speaking, the two girls were stunned and stared at Xu Xian in a daze.
Xu Xian reacted and realized that his behavior was too presumptuous, so his face turned red and he quickly introduced himself.
"My name is Xu Xian, Xu means betrothed, Xian means immortal, young lady, may I..."
“No!”
Before the woman in the white dress could speak, the woman in green answered first.
She glared at Xu Xian, then pulled the woman beside her and said angrily, "Sister, ignore him!"
"Xiao Qing..."
Bai Suzhen looked at Xiaoqing with a reproachful look, and kept looking back at Xu Xian, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
But in the end, she was forcibly taken away by Xiaoqing and failed to tell her name to Xu Xian.
Xu Xian was a little disappointed, but he had calmed down at this moment and let rationality take over again.
Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible for him, who had always taken Bao Gong as his role model, to continue to bother Bai Suzhen, and he could only leave in disappointment.
Looking at Xu Xian who kept looking back every few steps outside the inn, Du Qian couldn't help but chuckle.
But soon, he frowned and began to ponder.
It is normal for Xu Xian to fall in love with Bai Suzhen, but if Xu Xian was a time traveler, he would not have failed to recognize the identities of these two women.
But looking at his behavior, it was obvious that he fell in love at first sight with the stranger, and he had no idea that the two women were Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing.
"Could it be... that he is really not a time traveler?"
"Who is the time traveler?"
Du Qian frowned, filled with confusion.
