History has become confused. Since the Tang Monk successfully returned from the West to obtain the scriptures, the Tang Dynasty has continued. Today, the Tang Dynasty is still a huge creature, and all nations come to the dynasty and are extremely prosperous.

In the past few hundred years, the Jiangnan land has been greatly developed and has become the main granary of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. There are many literati and talented people. However, many of the poets and lyrics known to the world have not appeared in this era, and some have not created many good poems in the "original history".

With the spread of Buddhism in the east, now the immortals and Buddhas are almost integrated into one family. However, the main way for ordinary people to return to heaven after they have achieved the right result is still the heavenly court. Of course, some monsters with special abilities may also be favored by some powerful people and become servants. For example, the black bear monster and the red boy in Journey to the West were taken away by Guanyin Bodhisattva.

In addition, some powerful people will establish sects on earth if they accept their disciples, such as Maoshan Sect, Kunlun Sect, Shushan Sect, etc., which are sects established by Taoist powerful disciples, which basically worship the Three Pure Land or some Taoist gods.

Of course, Buddhism is not to be outdone. Various Buddhist temples bloomed everywhere in the Tang Dynasty and competed with Taoism. Although Buddhism and Taoism were almost integrated, one was a local school and the other was an exotic school. Although it was harmonious on the surface, it was intrigue and intrigue behind the scenes and tried to develop its own believers.

But at this point, Buddhism has the upper hand. It is no wonder that Buddhism is equal to all living beings and is invincible in the world, but Taoism is more advanced and has poor basic qualifications that will not allow you to come in.

When you meet someone who sees through the world, the Buddhist practice is to absorb you and let you eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name all your life; the Taoist practice is to advise you to go back quickly, get married and have children, pass on the family line, live naturally, and don't come to practice Taoism. It's too painful!

Under different doctrines, Buddhism has basically gained an overwhelming advantage in incense believers in the past few hundred years. Fortunately, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was surnamed Li. Since its founding, Taoism has been regarded as the state religion, and Lao Tzu Li Er became the ancestor of the emperor. Under the support of national policies, although Taoism did not take advantage of incense believers, it was even more trusted by leaders, which is something that Buddhism cannot seek.

Therefore, the current prosperous Tang Dynasty society has formed such a situation. The rich and powerful people believe in the Tao, hoping that they can get some immortality and avoid evil, and live a more nourishing life; the poor people who have no money and power believe in Buddhism, and hope to be a good person and become a good woman in the next life.

Of course, there are some people who believe in them all, so they can do it.

...

The water is shimmering and beautiful when it is sunny, and the mountains are misty and strange when it is raining.

If you want to compare West Lake with Xizi, it is always appropriate to apply light makeup and heavy makeup.

During the Qingming Festival, on the bank of Xizi Lake, standing on the broken bridge, looking at the scenery of West Lake from afar, Zuo Xiaoyou remembered a poem

You stand on the bridge and see the scenery

The people watching the scenery are watching you upstairs.

The bright moon decorates your window,

You decorate someone else's dreams.

"Whose dream can I decorate?" Zuo Xiaoyou smiled faintly and turned around and left the Broken Bridge.

The new legend of White Snake, meeting with Broken Bridge, was Xu Xian, but a thousand and seven hundred years ago, the person who saved Bai Suzhen was not the little shepherd boy. Even if the little shepherd boy was reborn for ten thousand years, he would never meet White Snake.

But as the person who saved Bai Suzhen, Zuo Xiaoyou did not seem to need Bai Suzhen's repayment. The reason why he came to Hangzhou many years in advance was to see if he could meet Bai Suzhen in West Lake?

This is a very interesting logical question. If Bai Suzhen wants to achieve the right result, she must first repay the kindness of saving her life. If she does not repay, she will not be able to understand her thoughts and achieve the right result. Therefore, after meeting Guanyin Bodhisattva, Guanyin Bodhisattva asked her to repay her kindness first and guide her to look for the "high place in the West Lake".

Xu Xian is just a mortal. He speculated that his fate was very simple, so Guanyin could give guidance easily, but the left and right were different. After 1,700 years of cultivation, his Fuxi Bagua practice was extremely profound. Not only could he calculate the past and future, good and bad luck, but he could even cover up the secrets of heaven, making people unable to see through it. Even if Guanyin master has a profound cultivation level, it would be difficult to calculate his position. Since this is the case, will Bai Suzhen still come if he cannot get Guanyin's guidance?

After living for so long, Zuo Xiaoyou has lost interest in many things, but in the face of this causal logic problem, he is still very curious. He wants to see how the new White Snake Legend begins?

...

There is a dilapidated royal palace in Shuangcha Lane, called Qiu Wang Mansion. King Qiu was intended to rebel more than ten years ago, but his conspiracy was exposed. Instead, his family was confiscated and destroyed. However, hundreds of people from the Qiu Wang Mansion were still in dispersed. He caused trouble in the Qiu Wang Mansion, causing Qiu Wang Mansion to quickly become ruined. Later, the emperor found a Taoist priest to eliminate the evil ghosts in the Qiu Wang Mansion, and ordered the Buddhists to spend 70 to 49 days, and finally healed the evil spirits and ghosts in the Qiu Wang Mansion.

But such a big thing happened to the Qiu Palace, which made no one dare to live here. Over the past ten years, the Qiu Palace was already in ruins. Because the Qiu Palace is huge, it will cost huge amounts of money whether it is repaired or rebuilt. The county magistrate will not touch this hot potato, but no one has taken over it. Such a Feng Shui treasure land will become desolate.

On this day, Zuo Xiaoyou spent a thousand taels of gold to buy the entire Qiu Wang Mansion, and then recruited a large number of craftsmen to rebuild the Qiu Wang Mansion.

How big is Qiu Wang Mansion? Is a house worth 100 square meters big? The area of ​​the entire Qiu Wang Mansion is ten thousand times that of a house worth 100 square meters! That is, the area of ​​100 hectares.

Fortunately, this is ancient times. If you want to get such a large building area, you can only go to Australia to capture land.

With such a huge area, we naturally need to build a huge circle of courtyard walls, with mountains and water, pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard walls, and everything is available. Zuo Xiaoyou is basically constructed according to the style of Suzhou gardens, and thousands of skilled craftsmen were used. It took three years for the new mansion to be built.

When a huge plaque with the words "Zuofu" was hung above the gate, Zuo Xiaoyou invited local well-known figures to come here to celebrate.

During the past three years, Zuo Xiaoyou almost handed over all the local powerful figures in Hangzhou. These powerful figures respected Zuo Xiaoyou very much because Zuo Xiaoyou was the master who passed the imperial examination five years ago.

Today, the world is peaceful and the literary style is prosperous. As long as scholars in the world can get a scholarship, they can get a living in the local area. If they get a further examination, they can meet officials without being appointed and have a considerable status in the local area. At this time, no matter whether they are an official or anything, they can get great convenience and be respected by many people.

With his identity as a juren, Zuo Xiaoyou was able to settle down in Hangzhou very smoothly. As for the county magistrate and other local gentry, he hoped that Zuo Xiaoyou could go further and get a Jinshi, top scholar and other fame, Zuo Xiaoyou just smiled faintly and ignored it.

The officialdom is dangerous, so how can you be free and easy in the place? What's more, he has to wait for White Snake here, so how can he have time to pass the imperial examination for the Lao Shizi Jinshi? As the saying goes, there is paradise above and Suhang below. If you are in a paradise on earth, why bother to go to the court to intrigue?

Because Zuo Mansion is huge, Zuo Xiaoyou has recruited a large number of servants and maids in the past three years, with more than 500 people. The expenses of so many people are astronomical. In order to support these people, Zuo Xiaoyou had to start a business with local powerful people in the past three years. There are many types of businesses, including furniture, restaurants, garment stores, etc., but the most profitable one is a small shop called Treasure Pavilion.

The glass products sold inside are exclusively made by Zuo Xiaoyou, such as wine pots, wine glasses, glass beads, etc. These are all pricey, but the most profitable one is the dressing mirror. A 10x10 small mirror costs 1,000 taels of silver. If the mirror can be embedded on the dressing table, it costs 1,000 taels of gold, and only three sides per month.

Such huge benefits will naturally attract others' covetousness, but Zuo Xiaoyou has a way. When he was taking the Juren exam, he met several friends who were drinking and meat. One of them passed the Jinshi exam and is now in Beijing. Through this relationship, Zuo Xiaoyou gave him a dressing mirror and asked him to contact the emperor to see if the glass products of Zuo's Treasure Pavilion could be made into tributes?

As long as he can get involved with the Tian family, no matter how big the official is, he will never dare to put his hands in.

His friend, who was very hardworking when he got such a priceless dressing mirror. Of course, he also had his own considerations. If this could really be caused, as an intermediary, he would definitely get benefits, and promotion and wealth are just around the corner.

In this way, not long after, this friend actually sent a glass mirror into the palace. I heard that the beauties in the harem almost started fighting to compete for ownership of this mirror that day...

Later, a natural edict was passed to Hangzhou, and Zuo Xiaoyou's glazed products in Zuo Xiaoyou's Treasure Pavilion became tributes. Since then, Zuo Xiaoyou has been rich and has no need to worry about the more than 500 people in his family anymore.

Just as Zuo Xiaoyou settled down, something strange happened in the mansion.

That night, the servants in the mansion were on the night, but suddenly saw a blue figure passing by, but disappeared the next moment.

The cool breeze blew, and several servants were scared to death: "Ghost~!!!"

Zuo Xiaoyou was woken up, came to the scene and asked, "What happened!?"

"Old... Master, there are... there are ghosts!" The scared servants said tremblingly what had just happened. The servants who gathered in frightened suddenly changed their faces, and they all showed horror.

Zuo Xiaoyou frowned and asked, "You said you saw the blue shadow flashing away?"

"Yes...yes." The servant nodded repeatedly.

"Cyan Shadow..." Zuo Xiaoyou thought: "Okay, I don't say anything about the strange power and the spirit. I think you are dazzled for a moment, let's go down!"

"Master, no! We really saw it." One of the servants was very straightforward: "If it was just a small person who saw it, it might be dazzled, but if we all saw it, it was really dazzled!"

Zuo Xiaoyou's eyes widened and he shouted angrily: "Enough! I said no, it's not!"

The servants were immediately frightened and silent. Zuo Xiaoyou exhaled and said, "Okay, let's go down and rest!"

"yes."

The people dispersed one after another, and only Zuo Xiaoyou stayed in place. He turned his head and looked at the blue figure flashing through Qingfeng Pavilion, smiled faintly, and walked away.

Soon after, I arrived at Qingfeng Pavilion. This Qingfeng Pavilion is a courtyard in the gardens in the mansion. It has beautiful scenery and is surrounded by water on three sides. Zuo Xiaoyou likes fishing here in his spare time. As soon as he arrived at Qingfeng Pavilion, Zuo Xiaoyou said to the green figure hiding above the pavilion: "Don't hide your head and tail, show up!"

The next moment, a big blue snake suddenly appeared, opened its bloody mouth and was about to swallow Zuo Xiaoyou.

"Naughty." Zuo Xiaoyou raised his hand and slapped the snake's kiss. Then he heard a plop, and the huge green snake fell heavily to the ground, hissing in pain.

"Don't pretend, I didn't use much effort." Zuo Xiaoyou sat down on the stone bench under the pavilion, and the wine and food appeared out of thin air and fell on the stone table: "I see you have already cultivated into a human body, how about you drink a drink?"

The blue snake stopped rolling, raised its head, and the black eyes looked at him. After a moment, a green light flashed, and a young and handsome young man in green appeared in front of Zuo Xiaoyou, which surprised Zuo Xiaoyou and then smiled: "Young master is so handsome, please sit down."

The young master in Qing walked silently to the opposite side of Zuo Xiaoyou. Seeing Zuo Xiaoyou looked calm, he couldn't help asking, "Don't you ask about my origin?"

"Just just a snake demon." Zuo Xiaoyou handed over a glass of wine: "You have already revealed your true form just now."

"..." The young man in Qing snorted coldly: "Aren't you afraid of me?"

He said this, but he took the wine glass.

"Why are you afraid?" Zuo Xiaoyou raised his glass and signaled.

"Aren't you afraid that I will eat you?" The young master in Qingyi sipped the wine in one rudely, and then stuck out his tongue: "Cough cough, what a strong wine."

Seeing him like this, Zuo Xiaoyou laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to know how to drink, so I'll say it earlier!"

Then he changed a pot of juice and said, "This hundred fruit brew was made by me collecting hundreds of fruits. It tastes sweet and sweet. If you don't get drunk for a thousand cups, you can try it."

"Hmph!" The young man in Qing took a cup, licked carefully, his eyes lit up immediately, and he drank the juice in one gulp, smacked his lips, and said, "It's delicious, this is good."

"If you like, drink a few more glasses." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly and said, "Don't just drink alcohol, eat some delicious food. I don't take these out to receive people easily."

The young master in Qing looked at the steaming dishes and some fruit snacks on the table, and looked up at him: "Do you have a mustard bag?"

"Absolutely." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly, picked up the chopsticks and ate some dishes, looking like he was enjoying it.

Seeing this, the young master in Qingyi picked up the chopsticks and started eating. After just one bite, he could no longer stop...

Not long after, looking at several washing dishes and the young master in Qing who looked satisfied, Zuo Xiaoyou put down the empty wine glass in his hand and smiled bitterly: "Young Master, have you eaten?"

"You are so careless, be 80% full!" The young master in Qing looked unruly and drank a sip of the 100-fruit wine, saying, "I didn't expect that your food is good. I will come to eat it every day in the future."
