Chapter 327 Are Immortals Such Inconvenient Things?
I play Fahai, so what does Fahai play?
Director, please think about it again. With my pretty face, I can really fit in the role of a scholar or a gynecologist.

Xiang Yuan looked at the script in Master Bai Yue’s hand, speechless for a moment, and fell into a long silence.

That was the snake spirit he had been thinking about all the time, and the top snake spirit in the world, Bai Suzhen. When he came to play Fahai, there was no shepherd boy a thousand years ago, so he saved the snake himself.

By the way, which version of The Legend of the White Snake is this?
Xiang Yuan took the script and read it line by line: “Senior Sister, where did you get this strange novel? Was it the will of the Emperor of Heaven?”

The Emperor of Heaven knows so much. From Journey to the West to White Snake, it seems that there is nothing he doesn’t know.

Having said that, Journey to the West takes place in the Tang Dynasty, and Legend of the White Snake is around the Southern Song Dynasty. Journey to the West hasn’t started filming yet, so is it appropriate to make Legend of the White Snake instead?

Oh, there are also several chive gardens in the lower world in the God Realm, and you can harvest some chives at any time to replenish your blood.

That’s no problem.

“Not the Emperor…”

After the explanation by Bai Yue, Xiang Yuan finally understood that the script of Legend of the White Snake did not come from the Emperor of Heaven, or rather, the Emperor of Heaven gave it to Jing Yun, who had no intention of participating, and the script was then passed to Bai Yue.

In this version of the Legend of the White Snake, Bai Suzhen is a disciple of Lishan Laomu. She practices in Mount Emei and is enlightened by the Bodhisattva Guanyin, which allows her to become an immortal and shed her demon body.

The Mother of Lishan is Jingyun, and the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara is Baiyue Jushi, they are a match.

“Junior brother, what do you think?”

Ms. Bai Yue looked at Xiang Yuan with a faint smile. Since they were one of her own, she was not worried that Xiang Yuan would reject her.

I’m not very happy about it. Director, you have a terrible eye for casting!

Xiang Yuan refused in his heart, insisting that he was more suitable to play Xu Xian. He did not directly answer Bai Yue’s question, but said, “Sister, there are sacred mountains and Buddhas in this world. There are a lot of tall donkeys. You can just pull one over to play a cameo role. Why do you have to find me?”

Mr. Bai Yue smiled slightly and gave two answers.

The correct answer is that Lingshan is also busy, everyone has their own script and has no time to split up.

Wrong answer. Jingyun said that Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and Tathagata Buddha are both among the Five Elders of the Five Directions and have the same status. There is no need to owe favors to Lingshan for such trivial matters.

Xiang Yuan nodded when he heard this. The world of gods is full of illusions, and the Buddha is a substitute created by the Emperor of Heaven. Master Jingyun does not want Mr. Bai Yue to get too close to Lingshan.

In this case, we really need to help.

But then again, since he has already helped, he might as well help to the end. He is not afraid of hardship, so he can play two roles and play Xu Xian as well.

“Senior Sister, who will play Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing and Xu Xian? We can’t really wait for a thousand years, right?” Xiang Yuan asked doubtfully.

Perhaps the Emperor of Heaven could modify the timeline and arrange the actors a thousand years ago, but if that were true, the Emperor of Heaven could take charge of the crew of The Legend of White Snake by himself. He would be the director and screenwriter, as well as the main and supporting actors. Why would he need to outsource the script of The Legend of White Snake and let Jingyun arrange it?

The shameless Emperor of Heaven is busy with his company’s listing and doesn’t have much free time.

The leader is in charge of everything, and even if you light a thousand seven-star lamps, he can’t handle it!
Since the Emperor of Heaven has not made any arrangements and Jingyun is not involved, it is only Baiyue Jushi, the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, who has to run around and arrange the crew of Legend of the White Snake.

“I plan to select these three people in the Purple Bamboo Forest…”

Mr. Bai Yue gave the answer that Bai Suzhen, as the heroine and the one with the most scenes, could be played by Ji Mucheng, and Xiaoqing and Xu Xian could be selected from two female disciples with insightful minds.

“It’s not appropriate. Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian are going to get married and have their wedding night. It’s already been acted out, and Xu Xian disguised as a man is too perfunctory.” Xiang Yuan shook his head repeatedly, speaking for the audience. No one wanted to see this.

Bai Yue was slightly stunned, then smiled even more: “Junior brother, what you mean is that you will play Xu Xian, and Mu Qing will be Bai Suzhen?”

“It’s not impossible!”

Xiang Yuan raised his eyebrows and grinned at Bai Yue Jushi: “If I were to play Xu Xian, Mu Qing would definitely be particularly attentive to playing the role of White Snake. Twenty years later, there would be no need to find another actor to play Xu Shilin, because Mu Qing could give birth to one herself.”

After saying this, they clapped their hands in approval, saying that this is how it should be performed.

Even though he knew that he was deliberately trying to irritate people, Bai Yue Jushi still couldn’t help feeling a little jealous, and felt that the pretty boy in front of him with a fluttering face was particularly disgusting.

If you can’t speak, don’t speak. No one will think you are dumb!
Lay Buddhist Bai Yue rolled his eyes at Xiang Yuan and said, “Brother, this is just a formality. There is no need to worry so much. Bai Suzhen is not really imprisoned under Leifeng Pagoda. What happens in 20 years can be just mentioned briefly.”

“It turns out it was just a formality. Senior sister didn’t tell me earlier, so I thought too much.”

Xiang Yuan raised his hand and held Bai Yue in his arms, and said conscientiously: “Senior sister, this arrangement is very troublesome. I have a more time-saving and labor-saving plan.”

“What’s the plan?”

Mr. Bai Yue asked curiously.

Obviously, she didn’t care much about the script of Legend of White Snake. If Jingyun hadn’t said so, she would have wanted to be a hands-off boss.

“You play Bai Suzhen, Mu Qing plays Xiaoqing, and I, Li Xianyuan, will play Xu Xian. Our names just correspond to the three of us. What do you think, senior sister?” Xiang Yuan suggested.

“…”

I feel that you have bad intentions. If I agree, it will probably not be just a formality.

Mr. Bai Yue looked alert.

“Senior sister, you always judge others by your own standards. I used to keep my distance from you and you said I was a waste. Now that I have just made a move, you are on high alert…” Xiang Yuan muttered to himself, saying that life is so difficult.

Seeing that Bai Yue was still on guard, he curled his lips and said, “Don’t worry, Junior Brother doesn’t have that kind of thought. He just thinks that since we are all gods, acting can be solved with clones, and we don’t need too many people to act with us.”

How could a god be such an inconvenient creature!

Xiang Yuan knows this. Take Journey to the West as an example. Some people look like Sha Seng, but when the camera turns, they are actually Taishang Laojun, Bull Demon King, Dragon King of the West Sea, etc. One person can support half of the crew.

By analogy, Bai Yue Jushi played the role of Guanyin Bodhisattva in his true colors, and his clone played the role of Bai Suzhen. He disguised himself as Fahai and his clone played the role of Xu Xian. This is reasonable and logical.

In short, no objections will be accepted. He has made the decision and that’s it.

The wolf’s ambition is obvious, it is already clear without even having to be mentioned.

Ms. Bai Yue sighed, neither agreeing nor denying, and outsourced the script that Jingyun had outsourced to her to Xiang Yuan.

The director was replaced, the actors were re-selected, and they just had to wait for an auspicious day to start filming.

“Sister, this is your first time as the heroine, so there are many things you don’t understand. It’s okay, I’ll explain the play to you…”

Xiang Yuan embraced Bai Yue and talked about the first step of the play. Assuming Bai Yue had not yet decided on the female lead, how to convince the director and prove that he had the ability to do so.

Although Ms. Bai Yue doesn’t talk much in her daily life, she makes people feel comfortable when she speaks. She quickly dispelled the guide’s doubts and got the role of the heroine.

After confirming the male and female protagonists, the villain, and the background, Xiang Yuan began to practice dual cultivation with Master Bai Yue. His soul entered the other’s body and he discovered that Master Bai Yue had broken through the innate stage at some point and had already reached the level of a spirit.

“Sister, you have such a high level of understanding. You are indeed predestined to be with Bodhisattva Guanyin…”

Xiang Yuan frowned, and his soul returned to its place. He asked curiously, “The laws of the heaven and earth in the God Realm belong to the Emperor of Heaven, and others are not allowed to practice them. I’m afraid it will be difficult for you to achieve results in your practice in this world.”

Before the transformation into a god, Bai Yue Jushi could still practice in the heavenly realm. When he reached the transformation into a god stage, he needed the laws of heaven and earth to condense a magic weapon. If he continued to practice in the heavenly realm, he would probably never achieve any results in his lifetime.

Ms. Bai Yue smiled slightly. She had learned the Buddhist practice ‘Bodhi Leaf Sutra’ from Xiang Yuan, which enlightened her mind and nature. The lotus blossomed naturally and she obtained the appearance of a white lotus. She was detached from the mundane world and realized a set of practice methods that suited her own needs.

She does not need to rely on the laws of heaven and earth to explore the truth in the illusion. With just one word “enlightenment”, her cultivation advances by leaps and bounds.

This is what Buddhist monks do. If they are given a Bodhi tree, they can sit facing a wall, and remain motionless for thirty to fifty years. Many of them can become Buddhas instantly.

As for the magic weapon cultivated in the Spirit Transformation Stage, Bai Yue Jushi, with the help of Bodhisattva Guanyin, has found a way out.

“By the way, Junior Brother, I have already taught this method to Mu Qing. Her practice speed is almost as fast as mine. Do you remember what you promised her?”

“…”

Xiang Yuan nodded silently. He remembered clearly that he had promised Ji Mucheng that as long as her cultivation level surpassed that of his uncle, his uncle would never resist no matter what she did.

It was originally just a pie in the sky, but I didn’t expect that this pie in the sky might actually succeed.

Wonderful!

Xiang Yuan was secretly delighted, but his face showed worry: “In the end, this matter is all to blame, Senior Sister. If you hadn’t randomly arranged the couple, regretted it after the arrangement, and refused to tell the truth, how could Mu Qing, such a filial disciple, have had feelings for Master Uncle?”

After saying that, he shook his head repeatedly: “What should I do if she insists on it?”

If she insists, you give it to her?
“Forget it, let’s not talk about this. With my qualifications and perseverance, Mu Qing can’t catch up, and the gap will only get bigger and bigger.”

Xiang Yuan sat cross-legged behind Bai Yue, skipping the topic of rice bowls and speaking directly: “Sister, please use the power of Avalokitesvara, and we can practice dual cultivation of the primordial spirits once more. I will get the six-character mantra of Buddhism. If we can comprehend each other, we may gain something.”

“…”

“Don’t let your imagination run wild. Practice seriously. This is really a way of exchanging Buddhist teachings.”

Xiang Yuan said, “Besides, even if Junior Brother has ulterior motives, you are the Bodhisattva Guanyin, you are compassionate, so what if you can give me some pointers?”

That’s the truth, but you keep pushing it too far. Bai Yue complained in her heart. Xiang Yuan pressed on step by step. She retreated again and again, and now she was standing on the edge of the cliff with no way out. She secretly warned herself that this white dress on her body must not be tainted, and she would not agree to anything he said today.

Finally agreed.

Xiang Yuande, who was in the state of white-robed lotus platform, let Bai Yue, a lay Buddhist, enter with the other party’s tacit consent, and observed the lotus platform, golden body, pure bottle, golden wheel of merit and other objects at close range.

With this as a reference, we re-establish the six-word mantra and deduce the true nature from the midst of delusion.

Although the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara in the world of gods is fake, Jingyun also said that the Emperor of Heaven seeks truth from falsehood, and it is possible for the Heavenly Palace to become true. Moreover, the Buddhist practice of Bai Yue layman emphasizes the word “enlightenment”, which can also see through the essence of falsehood and cultivate truth from falsehood.

If they can do it, so can I.

When Xiang Yuan made a big fuss in Heaven before, he copied the Dabidou, the Great Sage and the Little Sage’s Fa Tian Xiang Di that fell from the sky. With the blessing of the Golden Wheel of Merit, Qianyuan Realm was able to display these two magical powers one by one.

From this we can see that falsehood can indeed become true.

At least for Xiang Yuan at present, these false principles are not empty talk, and imitating and learning from them can also have considerable power.

If you want to transform it into reality, you must rely on your own comprehension and practice, and secondly, there is the correction of the Guanshen Jade. The progress bar is a little slow, but as long as you persevere, there will always be a day when you will achieve the right result.

Under the silent gaze of Mr. Bai Yue, Xiang Yuan fumbled with the lotus platform, the pure bottle, the golden body and other items one by one, and saw the Bodhisattva Guanyin almost clearly inside and out.

“Sister, I don’t know if you have heard of the legend that Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara guided the demons to do good. I am a humble junior brother, but I am willing to be the demon from outside the domain and act out this drama with you.”

“I haven’t heard it. I don’t want to hear it. Get out.”

“Oh.”

—-

Baohua community.

One of the lower realms to which the world of gods belongs.

The laws of this world are acceptable, one level higher than the Dragon-Subduing World. Cultivators can ascend to the God-Transforming Stage after reaching the Innate Stage. After crossing the threshold of the Innate Stage, there are many inheritances of immortals and gods from the upper realms, and there are many hermits who can go high and low and float in the sky to subdue demons and monsters.

Xiang Yuan didn’t care how tall it was, as long as it wasn’t as tall as him, it was fine.

Even if he didn’t use the divine power of Emperor Zhenwu, he was still invincible in the Baohua Realm.

Because it was just a formality, the guide was very perfunctory except for being very careful in selecting the heroine and explaining the script to her overnight, such as the historical background and scene layout, many aspects did not match.

The setting of Legend of White Snake is Southern Song Dynasty, and the core scene is the West Lake in Hangzhou. There is neither Southern Song Dynasty nor West Lake in Baohua District, so the guide randomly found a Jiangnan-style “Yishui City” and selected it as the filming location.

In the end, all the benefits go to the shameless Emperor of Heaven. Thinking of this, Xiang Yuan feels very depressed and can’t muster much motivation to work.

To put it bluntly, I came here for the heroine.

There are no white snakes or green snakes, but there is a pair of master and disciple duo, Bai Yue Jushi and Ji Mucheng. They use their magical powers to split themselves into two parts, white and green snake monsters.

Yishui City was originally named Yishui City, which means it is surrounded by mountains and water. There are many rivers, water lanes, stone bridges, green tiles and weeping willows, and fishing boats singing in the evening in the city. The city has a strong sense of the Jiangnan water town.

Such a beautiful place, if we don’t use it to listen to music or perform the Legend of White Snake, it would be a waste of resources.

Xiang Yuan enveloped Yishui City with the power of the Great Emperor Zhenwu, and with a thought, he became the local Xu Xian. To save trouble, he created a character whose parents died at a young age, guarding his ancestral land and collecting rent, nicknamed “Xu Bancheng”, poor as water, and his daily life was very boring.

His character includes but is not limited to being well-read, having some knowledge of medicine, not interested in women, and having a well-known good character. Because he has a little family wealth and his mother died early, he has attracted much attention in the blind date market, and the threshold of his home has been trampled down by matchmakers.

In a nutshell, people with a lot of money and few problems are honest, and the snake demon is coming soon!

On this day, Xiang Yuan saw the gray sky in his mansion. He calculated with his hands and felt that it would rain heavily for three consecutive days. He immediately left his servants behind, took an umbrella and went out for boating.

Xiang Yuan’s divination skills were average, sometimes ineffective and sometimes very ineffective, but the divination ability of the Great Emperor Zhenwu was first-rate. If he predicted that it would rain heavily for three days, it would rain heavily for three days, not a drop less or a minute less.

The position is now open, and the laws of the Baohua world must give it some respect.

At the lakeside, Xiang Yuan stopped and looked into the distance. He politely turned down four or five boatmen who were trying to attract passengers. Looking at the crowded ferry, he said with a sad face, “There is not a single boat. What should I do? Am I going to return home disappointed today?”

“…”xN
The boatmen were stunned and speechless. Xu Bancheng was lying with his eyes open. Could he have an eye disease?

Besides, it would be fine if he didn’t take their boat. A small temple cannot accommodate a big Buddha. The largest ship at the ferry is Xu Bancheng’s asset. Why doesn’t he take his own boat?
For a moment, the boatmen stopped soliciting business and gathered together in twos and threes, chatting and trying to see what Xiang Yuan was up to.

Soon, the boatmen learned the truth.

A black-sailed boat slowly approached, with two women sitting in it, one wearing a long white dress, the other a plain green shirt. The boat glided lightly across the water, creating ripples, as if they had walked out of a painting.

Seeing the two women in the boat, the boatmen’s eyes were full of amazement. They were wondering who these two women were from, when they saw Xiang Yuan walking over with an umbrella.

The black boat came to the shore and smiled at the distance, “It’s going to rain, and I want to go to the center of the lake to watch the rain. There is no boat around, so I hope the two female Bodhisattvas can help me. I am willing to rent this boat for a large sum of money.”

“Sir, it’s really a pleasure to watch the rain in the middle of the lake, but the rain came suddenly and we didn’t bring an umbrella…”

“What a coincidence! I happen to have an umbrella here that I can lend you.”

“In that case, sir, please get on board. The rent will be waived. You can just borrow my umbrella.”

The boatmen were all confused when they heard the conversation between the two. The woman in white was worried about the rain, so she left the boat and went home. Xu Bancheng was the same. The black-sailed boat didn’t look very spacious. If you squeezed in, you would be surrounded by people. How could you have the mind to watch the rain?

As they thought about it, the boatmen fell silent.

After the wupeng boat left the ferry, someone spoke and broke the silence.

“A man and a woman are in love, and this chance encounter is probably not a coincidence.”

“That’s called love at first sight!”

“By the way, the woman in white is pretty, but…she looks a bit old, at least much older than Xu Bancheng.”

“No wonder so many matchmakers have failed. It seems they are looking for the wrong way.”

On the boat, Xiang Yuan heard the whispers from the back, raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Yue, no, Bai Suzhen, and said in a voice transmission: “Senior sister, they say you are an old cow eating young grass.”

Mr. Bai Yue pretended not to hear and warned Xiang Yuan not to add to the drama. Xu Xian was just a mortal without any cultivation, so his voice transmission was somewhat out of place.

Ji Muqing: []
The most distracting thing was Miss Ji, who was completely stunned when she saw her master and uncle flirting with each other.

Master, you quit smoking, why did you do it again out of the blue?

Also, don’t think I don’t know that you didn’t use your divine power to clone yourself at all!

Ji Mucheng looked at the couple in front of her with a resentful look on her face. She felt a little depressed and blamed her master for not going back to her. She had agreed that her uncle would be taken care of by her, but now they both changed their identities and continued their past relationship. This made no sense at all.

How ridiculous! When did Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara become like this?
Sensing the resentment around him, Bai Yue Jushi stiffened and pulled Roudi out of Xiang Yuan’s hand. He said with a cold brow, “Sir, I’m just reading your palm. Your action is a bit frivolous and very rude.”

“Don’t blame me, young lady. It’s because I saw your beautiful face that my mind was in a mess. In a trance, I actually saw my past life. At that time, my wife looked exactly like you.”

“…”

Mr. Bai Yue was delighted to hear this. He put old wine in a new bottle, changed his identity, pretended not to know him, and took a sip. He actually felt a lingering, lingering, and novel feeling.

I’m addicted and want another bite.

On the side, the resentment is even stronger!

“Young lady, may I ask your name?”

“Xiao! Qing!”

Ji Mucheng pursed his lips and looked unhappy, but the words he spoke through his teeth were particularly clear.

“My name is Xu Xian. I am good at fortune-telling. I wonder if I could have the honor of reading Miss Xiaoqing’s palm?”

“Ah.”

In an instant, all the resentment dissipated.

Ji Mucheng happily stretched out his hand, pushed aside Bai Yue Jushi, and with a look of ignorance as a newcomer to the world, asked Xiang Yuan to help him look at the love line.

The corner of Bai Yue’s eye twitched, and he sent a message to Xiang Yuan, asking him to stop adding to the drama, as there was no such thing in the Legend of the White Snake.

“In the Legend of the White Snake, when Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen first met, they didn’t communicate with each other. Didn’t Senior Sister communicate with them too?”

Xiang Yuan didn’t take it seriously and said, “Don’t worry, Senior Sister. I know what’s going on. Mu Qing is not a child anymore. They are just clones, just illusions. We are only considering the worst. No one will die.”

“…”

Is this true? Are you sure you are a divine clone now? It doesn’t look like it!
