"My lady, this song seems to be singing about you." Xu Xian said, putting his hands on Bai Suzhen's shoulders.
Bai Suzhen gently shook her long black hair, then smiled and said, "It must be some opera troupe performing The Legend of the White Snake again."
Having said that, Bai Suzhen stretched out her right hand and gently caught the raindrops falling from the sky, feeling the cool spiritual energy of the mountains in the early morning.
"It's only been six days since I came to Qingcheng Mountain, and I've already been suppressed by Leifeng Pagoda twelve times, right?" Bai Suzhen said.
Xu Xian said, "Two matches a day means twelve. You're fine, you've only been suppressed twelve times. I've already been scolded by the spectators, calling me a heartless man, a coward, and a scumbag."
Before Xu Xian finished speaking, Bai Suzhen was already laughing so hard that she collapsed. Suddenly, she became interested and turned around and said, "Husband, can we go watch a performance of 'The Legend of the White Snake'? It's so boring to just listen from afar like this all the time."
Xu Xian was stunned for a moment, then nodded helplessly: "Okay."
Then the couple turned into two clouds of smoke and flew down from the sky, and used magic power to cover their faces. In this way, mortals saw them as two very ordinary faces, and only other immortals could see their true appearance.
The two landed on a platform beside the lake in front of Qingcheng Mountain, where the opera "The Legend of White Snake" was being performed.
However, as soon as they appeared, the couple felt something was wrong, "Huh? Madam, why does that girl look so much like you?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Suzhen also looked up at the woman in front of her who played Bai Suzhen. Then, with a slightly strange look in her eyes, she said, "This little girl has some skills. She has just entered the Taoist sect. You can describe her as having magical powers."
After hearing this, Xu Xian took a closer look and found that the woman who played Bai Suzhen did have some skills in Taoism. Moreover, the reason why she looked like Bai Suzhen was because she used her magic power to change her appearance a little.
Naturally, her tricks couldn't be hidden from the two immortals, but Xu Xian realized something was amiss. "How did she know that you, my lady... ahem, White Lady, looks like this?"
"I don't know either." Bai Niangzi was also confused. Could there be someone she knew here?
At this moment, a man watching the show next to Xu Xian suddenly said, "Everyone knows what White Snake looks like."
"Ah?" Xu Xian looked at the man in front of him with surprise. He was a mortal and had no magical power or energy.
Seeing Xu Xian's face full of surprise, the man took out a painting from his sleeve and unfolded it, saying, "Look, this is the portrait of White Lady and Green Lady."
Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen stared at it, and then they were shocked. In fact, there was not only Qing and Bai in the portrait, but also Xu Xian's portrait, but the man deliberately ignored it.
The characters in the portrait are extremely clear, and they are exactly the appearances of Xu Xian, Bai Suzhen, and Cen Biqing.
"Who painted this portrait?" Bai Suzhen asked hurriedly.
The man pointed to the inscription in the upper left corner of the portrait and said, "Look here, it's the signature of that master."
Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen looked at the signature and saw seven big words written on it: I love reading the Legend of the White Snake.
Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen exchanged a glance, then asked, "Where is that master?"
The man raised his hand and pointed to the bottom of the platform behind him and said, "It's at the umbrella gallery. You can see it when you go there."
Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen stopped watching the play and immediately turned around and walked down the platform. After walking up hundreds of steps, they finally came to an umbrella gallery covered by oil-paper umbrellas. Sure enough, they saw an old monk sitting by the wall telling people's fortunes and giving them his hand-painted portrait of "The Legend of White Snake".
"Fahai!" Seeing the old monk, Bai Suzhen immediately called out his name with gritted teeth.
Then Bai Suzhen took a step forward and came directly to Fahai's desk. Xu Xian followed closely behind her, holding Bai Suzhen's shoulders tightly with both hands to prevent her from acting impulsively.
"Monks like to read the Legend of the White Snake?" Bai Suzhen came to the table and asked Fahai, who was concentrating on interpreting divination.
Fahai said without raising his head, "Good, good."
But after he said that, he felt something was wrong. He quickly raised his head and saw Bai Suzhen with a murderous look on her face.
"Fellow Daoist, please don't be impulsive." Fahai said quickly, "This is Qingcheng Mountain."
Bai Suzhen said coldly, "You also know that this is Qingcheng Mountain, a Taoist immortal mountain. What are you, a monk, doing here?"
"My fellow Taoist, you are obsessed with appearances. When it comes to saving all living beings, why bother about whether it is a Taoist mountain or a Buddhist mountain?" Fahai said with a smile.
Bai Suzhen was about to retort, but at this moment a loud thunder suddenly exploded in the sky of Qingcheng Mountain, startling all the tourists around and making them scream in surprise.
As the huge thunder sounded, the sky of Qingcheng Mountain was soon covered with dark clouds and cold winds. Then, divine powers emerged from the front mountain of Qingcheng Mountain, accompanied by bursts of eerie and majestic gongs and drums.
"Yinluo ghost drum?" Fahai said in a serious tone while listening to the sound of gongs and drums.
Bai Suzhen frowned slightly and said, "It seems to be coming from below Jianfu Palace."
Afterwards, Bai Suzhen no longer paid any attention to Fahai, but went down to the front mountain with Xu Xian and came to the outside of Jianfu Palace to check.
When the two arrived at the front gate of Qingcheng Mountain and looked at Jianfu Palace on the left, their faces suddenly changed slightly.
I saw that the square in front of Jianfu Palace was now filled with ghost soldiers and generals from the underworld. The four judges and the ten ghost generals all appeared outside Jianfu Palace, and they all had solemn and stern expressions.
"Is there something wrong in the underworld?" Bai Suzhen asked Xu Xian in confusion.
Xu Xian was speechless. With such a grand display in the underworld, the Four Judges and the Ten Ghost Marshals, along with so many ghost soldiers and generals, had appeared at Qingcheng Mountain. Surely they weren't just here for sightseeing? Something must have happened!
