5: Section 5

"Tsk tsk."

Seeing this scene, Su Mo felt as if he had overplayed his hand.

Suppressed by the Buddha's Golden Bowl.

God knows when he'll be able to get out!

Chapter 5: Wang Er, covered in duck feathers, first hears of Bai Suzhen's whereabouts

"From then on, you began an incredibly monotonous life at the bottom of the mountain. You didn't know if it was the effect of the Golden Bowl, but every once in a while, a few wild fruits would appear before you. Although not delicious, they could fill your stomach and quench your thirst."

"As time continued to pass, out of boredom, you constantly pondered various Buddhist scriptures and Buddhist Cultivation Techniques in your heart."

"During this period, you self-taught and comprehended the 'Arhat Subduing Demon Divine Ability'."

"The Arhat Subduing Demon Divine Ability has a grand concept, with many Divine Abilities becoming self-taught and self-formed without conscious thought."

"Five years later, your Buddhist attainments reached Great Perfection. It seemed to be in response to your Buddhist attainments, as the Golden Bowl automatically departed."

"Without the Golden Bowl, the surrounding earth was no longer hard. You dug through the ground and successfully escaped Fahai's suppression."

"The first thing you chose after escaping was?"

"Option One: Go to Fahai for revenge, kill everyone in Jinshan Temple, and completely turn Jinshan Temple into a ghost realm."

"Option Two: Go home to your parents. Your father, Su Donglai, is now the Jiangzhe Transport Commissioner, responsible for Jiangzhe's finances and supervising local officials. Ask him to seal off Jinshan Temple and imprison all the monks."

"Option Three: With your Buddhist attainments reaching Perfection, your malevolence has now completely dissipated. You can subdue demons and devils in Hangzhou City, earn Karma, and regain your Arhat status."

...

Looking at the three options, Su Mo thought seriously for the first time.

Previously, he had always chosen whatever was fun, but he was truly reluctant to choose randomly for this White Snake Legend instance.

After all, he hadn't met Bai Suzhen yet.

He wondered what Bai Suzhen looked like.

But he could imagine she must be very beautiful, though he wondered how she compared to Madam Huang.

However, if he angered Fahai, that old bald donkey, he wouldn't be able to see anything.

A wise man submits to circumstances.

Thinking of this.

Su Mo immediately chose the third option.

"You chose to subdue demons and devils in Hangzhou City. After you left, Fahai appeared at the place you departed from. He was very pleased after seeing your transformation."

...

Seeing this scene.

Su Mo felt a surge of relief.

Goodness gracious.

Fortunately, he chose the third option. He hadn't expected Fahai, that old bald donkey, to still be watching him.

...

"You traveled all the way to Hangzhou City, but after being suppressed under the mountain for five years, your long hair was disheveled, and your body looked as if it had been painted with a layer of earthy yellow paint, making you appear like a wild man."

"When you appeared in Hangzhou City, you caused a commotion. Two constables came forward, wanting to arrest you, but you fled."

"You knew that your current appearance could easily be misunderstood, so you thoroughly washed yourself in West Lake, cleaning your monk's hat, monk's robe, and monk's pants. You also wove yourself a pair of straw sandals. Although you had been suppressed under the mountain for five years, these monastic clothes were still wearable."

"From then on, a strange monk who championed justice and subdued demons and devils appeared in Hangzhou City."

Subsequently.

An image appeared before Su Mo of him traveling around in clothes similar to Ji Gong's.

...

"On this day, you saw a strangely dressed person on the street. It was a thin young man, but oddly, his body and face were covered in duck feathers."

"He was currently squatting by the roadside, wailing loudly."

"My life is so bitter! These duck feathers can't be removed at all. They grow back after being cut off. Who can save me!"

"Although the thin young man had a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks and didn't look like a good person, you were very curious about how these duck feathers grew."

"So you walked forward and used the Divine Ability to comb through the thin young man's meridians, but found no abnormalities, as if it were natural."

"How did these duck feathers grow? How long have they been growing?"

"The thin young man saw that it was you and immediately looked as if he had seen a great savior. Earlier, rumors circulated in the market that a strange monk who specialized in championing justice and subduing demons and devils had arrived in Hangzhou City. He had been waiting on this street today just to meet you."

"Great Master, Living Buddha, my name is Wang Er. Since eating a duck five days ago, my whole body has been covered in duck feathers. Every night, these duck feathers become incredibly itchy, practically scratching my heart and liver. I really can't stand it anymore."

"You saw that Wang Er was not lying, and then began to ask Wang Er if anything special had happened before he ate the duck."

"Did anything special happen before you ate the duck?"

"Wang Er dared not conceal anything and then told you that he had stolen the duck. After the duck was stolen, he roasted and ate it without even plucking its feathers."

"Replying to the Living Buddha, nothing special happened. In fact, this duck was not mine, but old man Zhang's, my neighbor. After I stole it, I was afraid the duck feathers would be discovered, so I burned the duck to death and ate it. After eating it, the duck feathers grew on my body that very night."

"After learning about Wang Er's experience, you immediately realized that someone wanted to punish Wang Er, the thief, which is why Wang Er underwent such a strange transformation."

"Are you sure nothing special happened?"

"Your voice was loud and stern, startling Wang Er."

"He dared not conceal any details."

"That is, recently, a newlywed couple opened a pharmacy called Baohetang near their home. The man is named Xu Xian, and the woman is named Bai Suzhen."

"He saw that Bai Suzhen was as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, and he often deliberately visited her to tease her."

...

This!

Su Mo's heart trembled when he saw it.

Bai Suzhen?

Finally, her whereabouts are known.

It's a pity she's already married to Xu Xian. What a shame, Su Mo still had that kind of feeling.

Since she's already someone else's wife, there's no need to develop it in a good direction when there are choices.

He just wondered how this love affair life would make them intersect.

At this moment, the simulation of the love affair life continued.

...

"After Wang Er finished saying the three words 'Bai Suzhen', some black Demonic Qi emerged from his body, and you immediately became alert."

"In the ethereal, you had a feeling that this Bai Suzhen was not benevolent."

"It seems that Wang Er offended Bai Suzhen, which is why he grew such itchy duck feathers on his body."

"Out of your responsibility to subdue demons and devils, you asked Wang Er to take you to Baohetang."

"Wang Er thought you wanted to see that beautiful woman who looked like a Heavenly Immortal, and he couldn't help but sigh that even a Buddha could have lust."

"So Wang Er, covered in duck feathers, took you to Baohetang."

"The moment you arrived at Baohetang, you saw two soaring streams of Demonic Qi above Baohetang."

"You hadn't expected there to be more than one demon in Baohetang."

"It seemed to be two great demons."

"You felt it was a bit tricky. If you had Fahai's Golden Bowl, you definitely wouldn't be afraid of these two demons, but unfortunately, you didn't have it now."

"So you prepared to investigate the true nature of these two demons and had Wang Er go to Baohetang to see a doctor."

"After arriving at Baohetang with Wang Er, you were greeted by a young man in his twenties. The man was handsome and had a special scholarly Qi."

"You learned that the man before you was Xu Xian, and after Wang Er told Xu Xian his symptoms, Xu Xian was also stunned. He had never heard of such symptoms."

Chapter 6: Battle with Xiao Qing

"Then Xu Xian went to consult medical texts, wanting to find similar symptoms, but after searching for a long time, Xu Xian found nothing."

"And while Xu Xian was finding nothing, a woman in white robes emerged from the backyard, followed by a beauty in green robes."

"The two had originally come to see what kind of patient was so difficult."

"But upon seeing Wang Er and you arrive, the woman in white robes frowned slightly."

"Clearly, they did not welcome the two of you."

However, the moment the woman in white appeared.

Su Mo's eyes widened.

Because in the holographic image, he clearly saw the appearances of the two.

The woman in white robes was extremely beautiful, with an oval face and skin as white and smooth as jade.

Her eyes were pure and clear to the bottom, and a few strands of dark hair fell on her fair neck, adding a touch of allure.

Her clothes were not revealing, but her figure was perfectly displayed.

At a glance, she was simply a Heavenly Immortal descending to the Mortal realm, without a single flaw on her entire body.

...

And that woman in green robes had a melon seed face, with slightly raised eyebrows and eyes that seemed to captivate, making it impossible to look away.

When she walked, her slender waist swayed, and her beautiful feet were faintly visible beneath her skirt.

This alluring charm.

It seemed to be innate.

Su Mo pondered with his eyes.

Presumably.

These were Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing.

One could only say that in this aspect, Mortals were indeed inferior to demons.

Madam Huang was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, and compared to Bai Suzhen, they were equally beautiful, each excelling in their own way.

However, with the added ethereal aura of Bai Suzhen, there was still a gap between the two.

As for Xiao Qing.

She was too alluring.

Although she was also very beautiful, Su Mo didn't like overly seductive women.

He preferred dignified beauties like Madam Huang and Bai Suzhen.

The scene continued to change.

...

"At this time, Xu Xian began to introduce them to you: the woman in white clothes was his Niangzi, Bai Suzhen, and the woman in green clothes was his Niangzi's younger sister, Xiao Qing."

"But when Xiao Qing saw that you were a monk, she immediately felt a surge of anger."

"Because just before, she and her Elder sister Bai Suzhen had been chased everywhere by an old monk named Fahai. Now, seeing a monk, she hated them, so she had nothing good to say to you."

"Where did this monk come from, coming here to swindle people?"

"Hearing Xiao Qing say this, Xu Xian quickly stopped her."

"Xiao Qing, what are you saying? Hurry and apologize to the Elder."

"Xiao Qing, however, was indifferent and showed no intention of apologizing."

"Bai Suzhen, upon seeing you for the first time, immediately saw the three-zhang Golden Body behind you, and instantly understood that you were an Arhat Reincarnation, who had descended to the Mortal realm to resolve Karmic Obstruction and Karma."
