In the Ming Dynasty, there was a small town called Qingfeng Town. There is a young man named Li Sheng in this town. Li Sheng has clear eyebrows and delicate eyes, pure and white, and exudes a scholarly aura. He usually likes to read a book, write an article, and always hopes to one day achieve fame and glory for his ancestors.
Although Li Sheng’s family is not wealthy, they can still get by. He has a small study room filled with various books. Every day, he diligently studies in the study, in order to stand out in the imperial examination.
One evening, Li Sheng was reading in the study. Suddenly, he heard a gentle knocking on the door. Li Sheng wondered in his heart, who could it be so late? He opened the door and saw a woman standing at the entrance. This woman looks so beautiful, with eyebrows like distant jade, eyes like autumn water, fair skin, and a slim figure. She was wearing a white long dress, with her hair tied up with a white ribbon, looking very fresh and elegant.
Li Sheng was stunned for a moment. Miss, who are you? Why are you visiting late at night? “Li Sheng stuttered and asked. The woman smiled slightly and said, “Young master, my name is Bai Niang. I am a lonely and helpless woman. When I passed by here and saw the lights in your study, I wanted to stay overnight.” Li Sheng couldn’t bear it and let Bai Niang into the room. He poured Bai Niang a cup of tea and sat across from her, chatting with her. Bai Niang’s elegant speech and graceful demeanor made Li Sheng feel a good impression. They talked for a long time until late at night before resting separately.
Since then, Bai Niang has stayed at Li Sheng’s house. She helped Li Sheng cook, wash clothes, and clean the room, making his life very comfortable. Li Sheng also became increasingly fond of Bai Niang, and their relationship became deeper and deeper. But the good times didn’t last long. One day, a Taoist suddenly came to the town. This Taoist has a fairy like appearance and bones, white hair, wearing a Taoist robe, and holding a handful of dust brushes in his hand. He walked around the town, muttering words with his mouth. Finally, he arrived at Li Sheng’s doorstep.
The Taoist frowned as he looked at Li Sheng’s house. There is a demonic aura in this house, “he muttered to himself. Li Sheng just walked out of the room and saw the Taoist, feeling strange in his heart. Taoist, why are you in front of my house? “Li Sheng asked. The Taoist looked at Li Sheng and said, “Young man, there are monsters in your house. If you don’t drive them away quickly, there will be a great disaster.” Li Sheng was shocked when he heard this. Taoist, what kind of monster are you talking about? There are no monsters in my house, “said the Taoist.” That woman in your house is a monster. She is a white snake spirit, specially designed to deceive you. If you don’t believe me, I can prove it to you. “After saying that, the Taoist took out a gourd and recited a few mantras to Li Sheng’s house. Suddenly, a beam of light shot out from the gourd and shone on Bai Niang. Bai Niang let out a scream and turned into a white snake. Li Sheng’s face turned pale with fear, and he couldn’t believe his eyes. Bai Niang, are you really a monster? “Li Sheng trembled and asked.
White Snake looked at Li Sheng, tears streaming down her face. Young master, although I am a monster, I have never harmed you. I truly like you
Li Sheng felt very conflicted in his heart. On the one hand, he is afraid that Bai Niang is a monster and will harm him; On the other hand, he has feelings for Bai Niang and cannot bear to part with her. The Taoist said, “Young man, don’t be deceived by demons. Demons have no emotions, they only harm you. Hurry up and let me take her away.” Li Sheng hesitated for a moment and said, “Taoist, can you let Bai Niang go? She hasn’t harmed me.” The Taoist said, “No, the demon must be eliminated. Otherwise, she will continue to harm people.” After saying that, the Taoist took out a talisman and prepared to stick it on the body of the white snake. White Snake looked at Li Sheng with despair, her eyes filled with reluctance. Just as the Taoist was about to stick the talisman paper on the White Snake, Li Sheng suddenly rushed over and stood in front of the White Snake. Taoist, please spare Bai Niang. I believe she won’t harm me, “Li Sheng said firmly. The Taoist looked at Li Sheng and sighed. Young man, what are you suffering from? Monsters cannot be trusted, “said Li Sheng.” Taoist, I know you are doing it for my own good. But after spending so much time with Bai Niang, I understand her. She is a kind monster and will not harm anyone
The Taoist couldn’t say anything more when he saw Li Sheng so resolute. He put away the talisman and said, “Okay, since you believe in her so much, I’ll let her go. But be careful, the nature of monsters is difficult to change. If she harms you one day, don’t regret it.” Li Sheng looked gratefully at the Taoist and said, “Thank you, Taoist. I won’t regret it.” After the Taoist left, Li Sheng carried the white snake back to his room. He warmed the white snake with his own body temperature, hoping that she could regain her human form as soon as possible. White Snake looked at Li Sheng, her eyes filled with emotion.
After a while, the white snake indeed regained its human form. Bai Niang looked at Li Sheng with tears streaming down her face. Young master, why did you save me? Aren’t you afraid of me harming you? “Bai Niang asked. Li Sheng said, “Bai Niang, I believe in you. You won’t harm me. We’ve been together for so long, and I know you’re a kind woman.” Bai Niang was deeply moved when she heard this. She tightly hugged Li Sheng and said, ‘Young master, you are so good to me. I will definitely repay you well in the future.’ Since then, Li Sheng and Bai Niang have cherished each other even more. They read, write, play the piano, and play chess together, living a happy life. However, their happiness did not last long. One day, Bai Niang suddenly fell ill. Her face was pale, she was weak all over, and she couldn’t get up lying in bed. Li Sheng was very anxious and invited the best doctor in town. The doctor treated Bai Niang, but shook her head. This girl’s illness is very strange, I have never seen it before. I am powerless, “the doctor said. Upon hearing this, Li Sheng felt extremely hopeless. He looked at Bai Niang with tears in his eyes. Bai Niang, you must be getting better. We still have a lot of things to do, “Li Sheng said. Bai Niang looked at Li Sheng and smiled slightly. Young master, don’t be sad. I know my illness is not over. But I am already very satisfied to have met you
Li Sheng was unwilling and searched for famous doctors everywhere, hoping to cure Bai Niang’s illness. But he searched for a long time and couldn’t find a doctor who could cure Bai Niang. Just as Li Sheng was in despair, a mysterious old man appeared. The old man was wearing a black robe, with gray hair and deep eyes. He looked at Li Sheng and smiled slightly. Young man, do you want to save your wife? “The old man asked. Upon hearing this, Li Sheng nodded quickly. Grandpa, can you save Bai Niang? Please save her, “Li Sheng said. The old man said, “I can save her, but you have to pay a price.” Li Sheng said, “What price? As long as I can save Bai Niang, I am willing to pay any price.” The old man said, “You need to go to a dangerous place and find a magical herb. This herb can cure your wife’s illness, but there are many monsters there, very dangerous. Do you dare to go?” Li Sheng said without hesitation, “I dare to go. As long as I can save Bai Niang, I am not afraid of anything.” The old man nodded and gave Li Sheng a map. According to this map, you can find that place. However, you must remember to be careful. If you encounter danger, come back quickly, “the old man said.
Li Sheng thanked the old man and set off with the map in hand. He followed the instructions on the map and walked for a long time, finally arriving at a mysterious valley. There is a mist permeating this valley, making it difficult to see the surrounding scenery clearly. Li Sheng walked cautiously into the valley, his heart filled with tension and fear. As he walked, Li Sheng suddenly heard a strange sound. He stopped and listened carefully. It turned out to be the cry of a monster. Li Sheng felt a wave of fear in his heart. He wanted to turn around and run away, but as soon as he thought that Bai Niang was still waiting for him, he gathered up his courage and continued walking forward.
Li Sheng walked for a long time and finally found that magical herb. He was extremely happy and quickly picked the herbs and put them in his arms. But just as he was about to leave, a group of monsters rushed out. These monsters look strange and terrifying. They rushed towards Li Sheng with bared teeth and claws. Li Sheng was so scared that he trembled all over, but he didn’t back down. He picked up a wooden stick and engaged in a fierce battle with the monsters. Although Li Sheng is brave, he is not a match for monsters after all. Soon, he was beaten all over by the monsters. Just as Li Sheng was about to lose his grip, suddenly a beam of light flashed. Bai Niang appeared in front of him. Bai Niang looked at Li Sheng with heartache in her eyes. Young master, why are you so foolish? Why did you take risks for me? “Bai Niang said. Li Sheng looked at Bai Niang and smiled slightly. Bai Niang, because I love you. As long as I can save you, I am willing to do anything. “Bai Niang was deeply moved when she heard this. She hugged Li Sheng and said, “Young master, don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to you
After speaking, Bai Niang displayed her magic and engaged in a fierce battle with the monsters. Although Bai Niang is a monster, her spells are very powerful. She quickly defeated the monsters and rescued Li Sheng. Li Sheng and Bai Niang returned home with herbs. They boiled the herbs into soup and gave it to Bai Niang to drink. Not long after, Bai Niang’s illness was cured.
Since then, Li Sheng and Bai Niang have cherished each other even more. They know that their love is hard won and must be cherished. And their story has also become a legend in Qingfeng Town.
