Avalokitesvara 安意如 1999Words 2018-03-18
The West Lake in March, the scenery is so good.Why suddenly, there was a heavy rain. Can you let me sit low and shelter from the rain.Just in this pavilion in the middle of the lake, you can see the three pools reflecting the moon up close, the lonely mountain in the distance, and Leifeng in the distance. As for the broken bridge, you can see it vaguely through the smoke willows on two embankments. For some reason, the rain in the West Lake always makes me sad. I can never forget this old story.The waves of thoughts are vast, people and affairs come and go, and then go away suddenly, like a crane flying not far away, trapped in this soft landscape for a long time.

You asked me what I was looking at, I was looking at Leifeng, and the Leifeng Pagoda is gone.Do you think the story I want to tell is "Legend of the White Snake"?Yes, but not all, what I am going to say now is. The beginning of this story is different from the version you are familiar with: the white snake ate the Queen Mother’s flat peaches and practiced for thousands of years in Mount Emei, but she was not rescued by a little shepherd boy. Destined people fellow practitioners.And Xu Xuan turned out to be a beggar waiter in front of the Tathagata. The Tathagata knew that he had a predestined relationship with the white snake, and was afraid that he would fall into the mortal world for a long time and lose his nature, so he sent Fa Hai to monitor him.

Their story has been haunted from the beginning by the shadow of premature death. Not only Xu Xuan, but even the White Snake didn't know about this. She only knew that when she woke up one day, her heart, which had been settled for a long time, moved for no reason: The spring scenery is good, and it will be late to leave Xiuxiu." As soon as I thought about it, I couldn't get rid of the idea of ​​going down to earth. Her righteous brother Hei Fengxian persuaded her: "That ordinary person, who only knows how to covet wealth and wealth, is willing to come here to cultivate truth? Once you enter the world of mortals, well, I'm afraid you will never return, and it will be too late for regrets at that time! Please be careful." think of"

What Heifengxian said was reasonable, but the White Snake insisted on going, and she said: "I have an unresolved fate in my heart." Predestination is a hint of the power of fate.Occupy her in her heart, pester her, and guide her to do what must be done.Ren Baisnake practiced for thousands of years, but still failed to avoid the trap of fate. Maybe, before that fate is not real fate, just a guide.It is not her destiny to cultivate the truth and become a fairy.Her ultimate destiny is to be a woman in the mortal world, meet a man, fall in love with him, and be let down by him. The White Snake, who has just come to the world, wanders in Hangzhou, where the mountains are warm and the water is soft. Like a newborn, everything in the world is fresh in her eyes.She has no intention of following all the rules.Her love had just sprouted, before she had time to form a standard and a specific partner, before she had time to choose, she met Xu Xuan, so handsome, so gentle and sensitive.

It really fits the girl's eyes! OK!That's him. The rain that day was thicker than today, and she was the one doing it, filled with emotion, so that he had nowhere to escape. At the first sight, she fell in love with him. She never knew that the handsome young man in the world had such sharp and frightening power.His careless smile can turn the seasons from winter to spring, and his careless gaze can revive the ashes and turn a dead tree into spring. She believed herself to be profound, but at that moment, she was in the same boat, her heart was rippling, her eyes met, and her feelings arose, just like the water plants at the bottom of the lake entangled her feet and entangled her heart.

Did she take his boat, or did he take hers?It doesn't matter, the important thing is that she borrowed his umbrella. The next day, he will pay a visit. She hosted a banquet to treat each other, yearning eagerly for the ignorant of the world, not a long-planned appearance, she hurriedly expressed her affection, and even paid the dowry upside down.She coveted Xu Xuan from the very beginning. She felt that she had practiced for thousands of years and turned into a stunning beauty. She also fabricated a prominent family background with a rich net worth. Hurry to agree? If she can be more patient and don't be so impatient, she can find a few romance novels in the bookshops in Hangzhou to read, or turn into a man and listen to a few storytelling legends.

If so, she will have a better understanding of the laws of the world, and she will understand that in love, the one who takes the initiative to give is often the one who is seriously injured in the end. On the surface, she knew everything about him, but he knew nothing about her.In fact, the White Snake is really unworldly and innocent, but a young man in the world who is full of preoccupations. Banshees, like women, are easily overwhelmed by superficial tenderness and romance.So much so that she forgot to be as cautious as a mortal woman, to understand the true temperament of the person she likes, and to think about whether this person can be trusted for life.

Xu Xuan is an ordinary person. It is said that his ancestors sold medicinal materials for a living. He is the most ordinary citizen in Lin'an City. Unfortunately, his parents died early and he lived under the fence. He had low self-esteem. Xuanzheng walked among the crowd with a heart full of resentment towards life and fear of the future. The lakes and mountains are like washing, and the spring breeze blows through the clothes.He didn't look sideways at the beautiful woman in front of him, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't dare.He knows he doesn't have the capital to be frivolous.Seven hundred years ago, the situation was similar to today's. A man who is good is not necessarily rich, but a man who is rich must be good.

He has no money, dare not be presumptuous in front of women, and even dare not speak loudly, but the white snake misunderstands his inferiority and restraint as a humble gentleman who is old and polite. She decides to marry him. Xu Xuan went home with the money she gave him, and was about to invite a matchmaker to marry him, but found that it was the money stolen from the official treasury. Suzhou. I still haven't figured out why the White Snake wants to steal money from the government, it's extremely speechless. It can only be attributed to the fact that she just came to live in the world, has no city mansion, and no experience.

The White Snake chased him to Suzhou, and to the shopkeeper Wang's house where he lived temporarily. She said something about her misery and innocence, and her beautiful appearance, which moved the enthusiastic shopkeeper Wang and his wife.After the matchmaking between the two, Mr. Xu, who is famously soft-hearted, could not help letting go of his suspicions and agreed to marry her. So people say, women chase men's spacer yarn! After getting married, they opened a pharmacy.Life is on the right track, the speed of light is out of poverty, and I am heading towards a well-off life.If it weren't for the later twists and turns, they would have quickly risen to the middle class.That time was the best time for them. Xu Xuan relied on her, feared her, and in short treated her with tenderness and obedience, just as she expected in her heart.The white snake indulged in the intense entanglement of love, and forgot the original intention of finding a fellow practitioner when she descended the mountain—the high-sounding reason.

Now, she doesn't want to go back to Gaohan's cave at all, looking for the unreachable eternity alone in the darkness. Now that eternity is within reach and close by her side, she believes that the eternity she is looking for is hidden in the fireworks in the world. Hei Fengxian's worries became a reality, she was really addicted to love, and couldn't stop.
