379, Lü Zu, White Snake (Please Order the Whole Set)
“Thank you, old man. Google search and read”
Bai Gui finished eating the glutinous rice balls, handed the bowl of soup to the vendor selling glutinous rice balls, and thanked him.
Today is March 3, the Shangsi Festival.
The Analects of Confucius said: “In late spring, when spring clothes are ready, five or six men with hats and six or seven boys bathe in the Yi River, enjoy the breeze in the Wu Yu Temple, and sing on their way home.”
So today is a good day for spring outings in West Lake, and there are many tourists.
Bai Gui has just reincarnated, and his past has awakened. He feels a little depressed at home, so he came out to enjoy the spring and relieve his boredom.
Maybe it’s because of his deep fortune.
He didn’t expect to meet a master selling glutinous rice balls by the West Lake.
This glutinous rice ball is actually an elixir, although the treasure is self-concealed.
But Bai Gui is already on the verge of becoming an earthly immortal, and with the help of Fuxi’s divine power and Kunlun mirror, it is still possible to peek into the fate here.
However, although he saw at that time that the glutinous rice balls were sold by a master, they might be elixirs. But everything is subject to fate. If he went to buy it in person, he would be at a disadvantage.
He could see that the dumplings sold by this expert, although they were restrained and had elixirs hidden in them, did not give elixirs to everyone when he sold them. At least, among the dozen bowls he observed, there was not even one elixir.
Elixirs are only given to those who are destined to be with him.
And a child prodigy should be considered a destined person.
Bai Gui used a trick to get this group of scholars to help him buy dumplings, avoiding the cause and effect, and enjoying the elixir of the dumplings.
"You, little boy, just talked about state affairs and made lofty remarks. You can see that you are a talented person."
"I wonder... whose son is this?"
The old man selling dumplings took the pottery bowl, scooped clear water from the bucket with a gourd ladle, washed the pottery bowl, and wiped it with a rag while asking.
He looked amiable.
Jizi Longwen, Jizi means a thousand-mile horse, Longwen means a fine horse, and in the old days, it often referred to a child prodigy.
"A small family, selling silk at home."
Bai Gui replied.
In this life, his family is not as good as in the Tang Dynasty, he is just the son of an ordinary merchant. But this identity is not bad, at least he has no worries about three meals a day.
"What about the name?"
The old man selling glutinous rice balls looked at Bai Gui with more kindness. He could see that Bai Gui had immortal bones, and now he was so smart. Not to mention preaching and accepting him as a disciple, it would be good to leave some fate.
"Surname Bai..., name Fugui."
Bai Gui hesitated and said.
In this life, because he was born in a merchant family, unlike the famous family like the Jinyang Bai family in the Tang Dynasty, the name was more vulgar, directly the two words of wealth and honor.
Of course, this was already clear when he reincarnated in this world.
"Bai Fugui?"
The old man selling glutinous rice balls changed his face slightly.
He was quite familiar with this name.
The Bai Mudan he played with for the third time was the daughter of Bai Fugui.
It was just that the original Bai Fugui had died of old age and did not become an immortal. His life span was at most a few decades longer than that of ordinary people.
The current Bai Fugui...
He counted with his fingers and understood immediately.
He owed a cause and effect.
"You are a smart kid. I guess you didn't eat enough of the bowl of glutinous rice balls just now. I have another bowl of glutinous rice balls left. I'll give it to you."
The old man selling glutinous rice balls, dressed as Lu Dongbin, said with a smile.
Although Bai Gui had eaten his glutinous rice balls just now, they were bought by the middle-aged scholar. It was an equal exchange. Although he gave the elixir, he actually sold the glutinous rice balls. So in theory, Bai Gui should thank him, but it cannot be said that the current Bai Gui owed him a favor.
The two are different!
The old man selling glutinous rice balls took out another bowl from the boiling glutinous rice balls, and handed the remaining bowl to Bai Gui, urging him to continue and eat it.
"Immortal pill? Another immortal pill?"
"There must be something strange about this. It can't happen again. You just gave me an immortal pill, and now you give me another one..."
Bai Gui had all kinds of guesses in his mind, but his expression did not change. He immediately took the glutinous rice balls.
But he did not speak and ate them immediately.
First, the medicinal properties of the immortal pill he just took were still in his body, and he had just been promoted to a higher level. Now eating another immortal pill would easily cause an unstable foundation.
Second, he was worried about this immortal pill.
Because Fuxi's divine power has the characteristic of deducing the secrets of heaven, he has already felt that this bowl of glutinous rice balls is not simple. Although it will not harm him to eat it, it may be entangled with cause and effect.
When a monk reaches a certain realm, he usually has a whim.
What's more, he has the talent of spiritual wisdom.
The mirror has never been stained with dust.
"Where is the way out?"
Bai Gui used Fuxi's divine power combined with Guishan Ce's magic power to deduce.
Suddenly, he looked at the two monsters who were cultivating under the water of West Lake, a white snake and an old turtle, both of whom had been cultivating for 500 years.
"It turns out that this elixir is the golden elixir refined by Lu Zu..."
"This white snake should be Bai Niangzi, and the old turtle is Fahai."
"No wonder Lu Zu gave me the elixir again after hearing my name. It turns out that... I met the old Taishan who changed his cultivation. This elixir means that the cause and effect of the previous life has been resolved."
Bai Gui is well-read in poetry, Taoist scriptures, and Confucian classics. He knows these stories very well, but he has a wide range of knowledge. With a little clue, he can guess most of them.
Not to mention the Kunlun mirror.
It is impossible not to judge clearly.
When I was in Penglai Fairy Mountain in the Fairy Sword World, I knew that Bai Fugui was Lu Dongbin's father-in-law.
"Fortunately, I took this glutinous rice ball."
"Otherwise... it's not a good thing to have a cause and effect with Lu Zu, one of the Eight Immortals, and Donghua Shangxian, even if it's a 'good cause'."
"It would be best if we can settle this cause and effect!"
Bai Gui thought to himself.
A little kindness will turn into a grudge. If the kindness is great, it will become a grudge. If you want to blackmail someone to repay you, you have to see if you have the ability.
He is only a few steps away from becoming an immortal, and he doesn't want to cause trouble.
This time, he seems to have caused trouble by plotting to get the elixir, but in fact, he just showed his talent. As for the extra things, they are all done by others, and it has nothing to do with him.
But at this time, he doesn't want to eat the elixir contained in the glutinous rice balls.
Taking this second bowl of glutinous rice balls is already considered to have settled the cause and effect.
But if he eats it, first, the elixir is too strong, and he hasn't digested it in his body yet. Although it may be useful in the future, it is useless at this moment. This is a glutinous rice ball, and it can't be really saved. It's boring to reveal the secret. Secondly, the glutinous rice balls were obviously the opportunity for Bai Niangzi to achieve enlightenment. If he intercepted them, it was unknown what changes would occur. Perhaps Lu Zu came to sell glutinous rice balls for Bai Niangzi. Bai Niangzi had a good background and was a disciple of Lishan Laomu.
He delayed Bai Niangzi's practice, which was equivalent to making an enemy.
After thinking about the gains and losses, Bai Gui made a plan.
Rather than making an enemy..., it is better to make a favor.
Xu Xian was just a mortal, and Bai Niangzi could repay his kindness by repaying him with her body, but he was a monk, and he would not let go of the elixir so easily.
"Thank you for the bowl of glutinous rice balls, old man."
"I'll eat it now."
Hearing Lu Dongbin's urging, Bai Gui immediately picked up the soup spoon and hurriedly ate it whole, not afraid of the glutinous rice balls burning his mouth
One, two glutinous rice balls went into his stomach.
But when it came to the glutinous rice dumpling with the elixir inside, he was so eager to eat that he accidentally burned his mouth and spit it out suddenly, causing the elixir to fall into the water of the West Lake, creating ripples.
When the glutinous rice dumpling entered the water, the medicinal properties of the elixir inside it were revealed, and the small fish and shrimps around it flocked over, and the white snake and turtle who were practicing at the bottom of the lake also rushed over.
The white snake arrived first, and the glutinous rice dumpling was taken by her mouth and swallowed into her stomach with a gulp.
She then emerged from the water, took a steady look at the child on the shore, and disappeared in an instant, no longer at the bottom of the West Lake, and no one knew where she went.
"The stall has been closed today."
"Little boy, if you want to come again, come again tomorrow."
The old man selling glutinous rice dumplings smiled, he collected the bowls and chopsticks, pushed the truck and left directly.
