Chapter 184: Legend of the White Snake

The next day, Chu Yichen and his family came to the teahouse again. Even Mrs. Chu shamelessly came along. She was addicted to watching the play "The Legend of White Snake" and wanted to continue watching the subsequent developments.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Nangua came on stage to host the show, and the rest of the play "The Legend of White Snake" continued.

When the scene where Bai Suzhen was trapped under the Leifeng Pagoda came to the audience, their hearts ached. "Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian are so pitiful. They were torn apart by Fahai. One was trapped under the Leifeng Pagoda, and the other became a nun at Jinshan Temple."

Some viewers also hated Fahai so much that they said, "The old monk Fahai is so hateful. He is not a great monk at all. I think he is just a demon monk."

"That's right. That old bald donkey is so vicious. He always tries to break up couples who are in love. He tore apart a good family. Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian's son is so pitiful. He lost his biological father and mother just after he was born. Woo woo woo... It's so sad."

The narration sounded, "More than a decade has passed in the blink of an eye. Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian's son has grown up under the care of his sister and brother-in-law. When Xu Shilin learned from Aunt Qing that his biological parents, one was imprisoned under Leifeng Pagoda by Fahai, and the other became a monk in Jinshan Temple, he felt heartbroken and blamed himself. One day, Xu Shilin met Fahai."

On the stage, the actor who played Xu Shilin pointed angrily at Fahai, who was holding a bowl in his hand, and then complained bitterly:

"Fahai, you old bald donkey, I want to settle accounts with you. You caused my mother to be crushed under the Leifeng Pagoda, you caused my father to become a monk and his whereabouts are unknown, you caused me to not see my relatives for 18 years, you caused my family to have difficulty reuniting, this huge hatred is deeper than the sea, what is your intention, what is your intention?"

Fahai: "Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful. Humans and demons should not fall in love. Your father and mother's marriage was not tolerated by the world. When Bai Suzhen flooded Jinshan Mountain, imprisoning her in Leifeng Pagoda was her punishment. Your father became a monk to atone for your mother's sins."

Xu Shilin spat at Fahai angrily: "Bah, there are so many injustices in the world, wars and disputes, people are suffering, disasters are happening one after another, and the poor are struggling to survive. Why don't you look at it or care about it? Why do you have to bother my parents? What does my parents' love have to do with you, a stinky monk?"

Fahai: "Xu Shilin, your mother converted to Buddhism and studied under the Leifeng Pagoda, and your father became a monk with his hair uncut. When his merits are fulfilled in the future, it will be easy for him to become a Buddha or an immortal."

Xu Shilin cried out in grief: "I don't envy Buddha or immortals, I just want my parents. I just want my parents. Please let my mother out so that we can be reunited!"

Fahai said viciously: "Hmph, no way. If you want your mother to leave the pagoda, the only way is for Leifeng Pagoda to collapse and the water in West Lake to dry up."

Xu Shilin: "What a vicious evil monk! You hate the love and beauty of the world. You want to destroy all the beautiful things in the world. You tried every possible means to separate my parents. You want to make their children lose the love of family. Where is your compassion and salvation of all living beings? You can only get out of the tower when the Leifeng Pagoda collapses and the water of West Lake dries up, right? Well, then I will go and drain the water of West Lake. I must save my mother from the tower."

The monologue sounded: "In order to save his own mother, Xu Shilin began to dig water from the West Lake day and night until he fainted."

The actor who played Xu Shilin on the stage started digging with a hoe, and then fainted on the stage.

Audience: "Wow... So touching, Xu Shilin is so filial, wow..."

A monologue sounded: "Xu Shilin blamed himself for not draining the West Lake. He could not bear the pain of missing his mother, so he ran to the outside of Leifeng Pagoda to visit his biological mother, Bai Suzhen."

Xu Shilin slammed the gate of Leifeng Pagoda with both hands, crying heartbrokenly: "Mother, open the door, mother, your dear son is here to see you. Mother, mother, please open the door, mother..."

Bai Suzhen, who was trapped in the tower, heard a voice outside the door: "It's my son Shilin."

Xu Shilin burst into tears and cried out: "Mom, open the door, Mom, do you hear me calling you?"

Qianhuan hid behind the scenes and began to play and sing "Calling in front of Leifeng Pagoda": "Calling in front of Leifeng Pagoda, my mother is under the pagoda and I don't know why. It's not that I'm late, it's because I was born without knowing. Ah... Father, father has become a monk. Ah... Mother, mother, you are suffering here. It's unfair to call others your parents, it's a pity that you have to wait until today. When will you avenge your grievances, so that you can follow my heart. When will you avenge your grievances, so that you can follow my heart, your heart!"

Bai Suzhen sings: "I listen to my son's words, and I weep. But the Thunder Peak is pressing down on my head, and I cry blood. I bring my son to persuade me. Don't worry about me all the time. Find your real father, and go to Jinshan. One day you will pass the imperial examination and ask for an imperial decree. Your filial piety will move the heavens. Push down the Thunder Peak to save your real mother. At that time, our family will celebrate the reunion. Your real mother's words will be remembered in my heart."

Xu Shilin sang: "I will remember my mother's words in my heart, and go to the capital with the top scorer in the imperial examination. When my parents meet again one day, it will be like a dead tree meeting spring again."

Audience: "Wow, so heartbreaking. It's so pitiful that the mother and son can't see each other. Fahai is so mean. He separated their family for more than ten years and they can't enjoy the happiness of family life."

Other viewers also discussed it, "Yes, monks are all compassionate, but Fahai, this evil monk, is not worthy of the title of enlightened monk. Although he has boundless magical powers, he only does evil things. I really hate this stinky monk."

The monologue sounded: "In order to save his mother from the pagoda, Xu Shilin went to Beijing to take the imperial examination and eventually passed the examination as the top scholar. On the way back to Beijing, he personally went to Jinshan Temple to pick up his father Xu Xian. Then, wearing the red top scholar uniform, Xu Shilin rushed to Leifeng Pagoda without stopping. He walked towards the direction of Leifeng Pagoda, bowing his head with every step, and the officials behind him followed him silently."

Every time the actor who played Xu Shilin kowtowed on stage, he would shout out: "Xu Shilin of Qiantang, I kowtow to the Emperor of Heaven for grace. Your son, Xu Shilin, kowtows to your mother to let you out of confinement."

The monologue sounded: "Xu Shilin kowtowed all the way from the bottom of the steps to the gate of Leifeng Pagoda. His forehead was bruised. In the end, Xu Shilin's filial piety moved the heavens, and Bai Suzhen was released from Leifeng Pagoda. The family was reunited, and the family members completed their merits and ascended to become immortals (at the same time, the festive music "Perfect Merit" sounded on the stage). The play ended!"

Thunderous applause broke out from the audience, and everyone exclaimed: "That's great, God finally opened his eyes, Bai Suzhen was finally released from Leifeng Pagoda, her family was finally reunited, and she became a deity. What a good ending, woo woo woo... so touching."

After the play, the ladies, maids, and even the men and servants all had red eyes.

This "Legend of the White Snake" made everyone cry and also made the company famous overnight.

At this point, the country of Dayuan had another great folk story called "The Legend of the White Snake".
