The terrain of Kyushu is actually very different from that of the Sui Dynasty, but this place also has many cities, mountains and lakes with the same names as those of the Sui Dynasty.

Such as Dongting Lake, such as Kunlun Mountain, such as Hangzhou City.

But they have the same name but different places.

The Kunlun Mountains in this world, as shown in the fantasy, are more majestic than those in the Sui Dynasty, not in terms of altitude, but in terms of peaks that are higher than the ground and towering tens of thousands of meters. And the Hangzhou City in this world

, it is also wider than the Sui side.

There is the West Lake in the city of Hangzhou, which is approximately 80 miles from south to south and more than 130 miles along the east and west coasts.

There are many rainbow bridges, platforms, and pavilions on the lake, with small boats passing between them, and a large bridge spanning the entire West Lake.

There is also a broken bridge above the West Lake.

This broken bridge did not break after it was built for some reason, but it was never completed from the beginning because the bridge was too high. When it extended about 180 meters from the shore to the lake, it was already three meters away from the lake.

Ten meters, the craftsmen who funded the construction of the bridge at that time had no choice but to admit that they were fanciful and gave up. However, the bridge was built quite solidly and became a wonder on the edge of the West Lake.

Standing at the break of this broken bridge, facing the cliff of Jinshan Temple.

Even from a distance of dozens of miles, you can still see that the cliff is carved into the shape of a giant Buddha, sitting cross-legged, with his hands in the fearless seal, smiling amidst the waves and smoke of the West Lake, solemn and tranquil.

Above the Buddha are the Main Hall of Jinshan Temple and a blue-black stone pagoda, and below are a number of small black-topped boats passing through the smoke of the West Lake.

The sacred and the natural, the worldly and the worldly, coexist in such a harmonious way.

A land with lots of water will inevitably have lots of rain.

Today's Hangzhou city is also shrouded in a drizzle. The slightest drop of rain on clothes will not make people feel cold and depressed, but will make people feel poetic. In fact, it is still early in the morning, the stars are in the sky, and the sun has not yet risen.

There are already many literati and young scholars traveling.

They did not hold umbrellas, and just walked in the mist and rain of the West Lake. In such a pleasant season, of course, there are also ladies from various families holding umbrellas under the eaves to enjoy the scenery. However, after all, it is too early, and those wealthy people are still there.

None of them got up, and there were relatively few women.

At the break of the broken bridge, there are two graceful figures holding umbrellas, one in white and one in green.

At that time, Yang Guang and the others had just arrived in the mountains on the edge of Dongzhou. The strongman guarding the gate rang the bronze bell, and the blue-robed Taoist with slender eyes asked everyone, including Yun Mengqing, for instructions at the main peak palace.

A veteran.

At that time, Xiaoqing, who was standing next to Bai Suzhen, suddenly sighed.

"What's wrong?" Bai Suzhen turned around and asked with concern.

Xiao Qing held the umbrella and looked at the little snake demon in front of her with a look that did not contain any hypocrisy and cunning. She looked a little more openly and said, "Sister."

"Yeah." Bai Suzhen listened attentively.

"If I wanted to lend you your life, would you give it to me?"

The low and hoarse voice was as unpredictable as the mist and rain floating over the West Lake.

But Bai Suzhen didn't doubt her hearing. She didn't even show a surprised expression. She didn't think Xiaoqing was joking. She just asked: "Why do you want my life?"

Green Snake said: "Do something big."

"What a big deal!"

The ignorant White Snake had a rare emotion in her tone. She looked at the giant Buddha in the distance, as if she was looking at the unpredictable misty rain again. Her eyes reflected the small boats with awnings on the shore.

The various scenes of the young scholar singing loudly seemed to become clearer and more transparent as they were reflected in his clear eyes.

"Xiaoqing, do you dislike these people very much?"

"Do you like them very much?" Green Snake asked, "Have you forgotten the things you have seen?"

"There are good people and bad people. Bad people are very annoying, and there are many bad people." Bai Suzhen lowered her eyes and said hesitantly, "But Xiaoqing, do you hate both good and bad people?"

Green Snake raised an eyebrow: "So you can see it too."

"If you hate it, why do you still take me to those crowded places? Isn't it better for us to stay in the mountains?"

Bai Suzhen's umbrella hung down, letting the fine raindrops hit her body. The misty rain made her expression blurred, and even her words seemed not so clear, "In other words, you don't even like the abbot.

, then we can go to a place without people, there should be many such places. I...I can stay with you, always stay with you."

"Hide~ get up~" Green Snake said these three words very slowly, as if he was considering how not to laugh out of control, but there was still some smile in his voice after all, "Why are we the ones who have to avoid it?

?”

"Because we gave in to those who won't die, but there are a lot of them. If you let them give in, a lot of people will die, right?" Bai Suzhen replied without hesitation, "Isn't it better to have more survivors than to die?

?”

The green snake froze, as if it was the first time she saw the white snake in front of her. She looked at her up and down carefully, and seemed to see many figures from the past through her.

"It's really... a very familiar rhetoric." Green Snake threw away the umbrella in his hand, and without even looking at the umbrella rolling down on the broken bridge, he said in an indifferent tone, "So, why are we the ones who have to avoid it?

?We are the masters, we are the ones who came first, why let us? Because they are inherently stupider, because they are inherently more fragile, because they are inherently more selfish?"

Green Snake took a step back, step by step, retreating to a lower and farther place on the broken bridge, gradually moving away from Bai Suzhen, but her tone was aggressive and advancing, "You know too little, but I think

With your innocence, you know or don’t know that the answer is the same, so can you use your innocence to answer my question?”

Bai Suzhen closed the umbrella in her hand, with the tip of the umbrella touching the bridge deck, as if she wanted to use this action to support her body, but this weakness only lasted a moment.

She straightened her back again, "I will resist."

Green Snake was stunned for a moment, then realized.

What would you do if I wanted to borrow your life?

I will resist.

When those four words were spoken, only the green snake and an upright umbrella were left on the broken bridge.

Bai Suzhen flew to Jinshan Temple.
