The Mystery of Life Hidden in the Legend of the New White Snake

There are many stories in The Legend of the New White Snake that make us feel unreasonable. For example, the white snake pretended to be Guanyin Bodhisattva without punishment and was rescued by the Bodhisattva many times. Heaven stole the elixir, and the virgin was angry and didn't kill it; The fairy mountain steals grass, and the Antarctic fairy Weng can't even play chess, and personally comes forward; Zhenwu emperor gave her an elixir to relieve snake venom; She can easily get in and out of the underworld ... all these seem to imply that she is not an ordinary snake!

It is said that after Pangu created the world, Nu Wa created two protectors who were both snake bodies. The left protector (xǐ) is female, and the right protector rattan snake is male. The two immortals have been in love for a long time, stealing the forbidden fruit and giving birth to a daughter. Nu Wa Niangniang felt that this girl could not stay with her, and the influence was not good, so she entrusted her mother Lishan to help her raise and practice, and was later assigned to the fairy class. Lishan's mother knew very well that there was no shortcut to the promotion system of immortals, so she asked the girl to practice in the lower world and secretly help protect herself in order to achieve a positive result as soon as possible.

Because both parents and Nu Wa Niangniang are snakes, the girl's lower bound becomes a little white snake. That winter, because of the cold weather, the little white snake, which is still shallow in cultivation, was frozen in the Woods. A farmer found her and hid her in his arms. After the little white snake woke up slowly, she instinctively bit the farmer, and they made an enemy for the first time. Five hundred years later, Lv Dongbin, the Eight Immortals, passed by the West Lake Broken Bridge and found that there was

A child (Xu Xian) was born with the magical talent of practicing immortality, so he got the elixir of life. The child didn't take it well, and the elixir fell into the West Lake. At this time, Fahai, who was reincarnated as a fisherman, was fishing in the lake and just found the elixir of life. Just as he was about to eat, the white snake playing at the bottom of the lake jumped out of the water and grabbed it and ate it. The white snake has been flying for 500 years, and the old enemy has not been solved, and the new enemy has been added.

Five hundred years later, under the guidance of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the White Niangzi, who became a human being, met Xu Xian, who had broken the bridge, swam around the lake to borrow an umbrella, drank realgar by mistake, stole fairy grass, flooded Jinshan, and gained enlightenment. The story is over. However, there must be some friends who don't believe this story. It doesn't matter. We collected some information to get a deeper understanding of this unusual snake to test our ideas.

1, the master of the White Snake. When Mrs. White Snake borrowed the elixir from the Virgin, he said, "My disciple once worshipped at the mother gate of Lishan Mountain and asked the Virgin for mercy." Who is Lishan's mother? How high is the status? Why give her face?

According to records, Mother Mount Li is the mother of the stars in Beidou, with a high degree of seniority. It can be seen from a story in The Journey to the West that when the four saints in Journey to the West tried Zen, the mother Mount Li became the mother and the three bodhisattvas became the third daughters. According to this inference, Mother Lishan should be senior to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and they have a good relationship.

It is easy to understand why the Bodhisattva has helped this little white snake many times.

2. Prove that the White Snake Empress was reincarnated as a fairy. The Emperor Zhenwu of the Arctic once said, "I see that you are obviously a demon and still have a demon spirit. Isn't it harmful for me to send you to earth? " Give her an elixir of life,

Remove snake venom. We noticed that Emperor Zhenwu used "going to earth", and when the White Snake finally ascended to heaven, Guanyin Bodhisattva said "you are allowed to return to heaven".

This shows that the white snake should be a fairy in the sky. Otherwise, how can we say "coming to earth" and "returning to heaven"

Since the White Snake is a fairy, let's see which fairy he is. When the White Snake was trapped by the Virgin, Guanyin Bodhisattva said this: "Xu Hanwen was in trouble, the White Snake was robbed, and Zixing was in trouble." What I said earlier is easy to understand. Who is the child star?

In addition, when Bai Niangzi went to Weizishan to borrow Ganoderma lucidum, she was stopped by Linghe boy. At this time, the Antarctic fairy pinched her finger and said, "I have to go there myself." Through what Guanyin Bodhisattva and Antarctic Fairy said, it can be confirmed that Ziweixing is the White Snake.

We also found that Ziweixing is actually the North Star, and the Big Dipper revolves around its four seasons.

Next, let's take a look at the identity of the son of White Snake. When the flood overflowed Jinshan, the white lady was fighting Fahai in the bamboo forest, and a red light came out of her stomach, catapulting Fahai far away. At this time, Fahai said, "Today, there is a literary star to protect you, and I will let you go." As we all know, Wen Quxing here refers to Xu Shilin, the son of White Snake, so which star is Wen Quxing? Where is Wenquxing?

In fact, Wenqu Star is the fourth star of the Big Dipper. Speaking of which, do you have any ideas?

Fahai hates Mrs. White Snake, even if he accepts the white snake, he won't kill it. This is not to say that the sea is kind, but there are other reasons. Let's take a look at the time when Haiba was imprisoned in Jinshan Temple. The white lady looked for her husband and let her kneel on the pagoda step by step, with some ferocious eyes.

This is clearly a personal vendetta, and there is no pity at all, so he didn't kill the white snake out of pity, but didn't dare to kill it at all. This is not the treatment that ordinary snakes can have.

Having said that, let's sort it out now. White snake's parents are white pheasant (xǐ) and Teng snake, and her parents are snake bodies themselves, which is consistent with the life experience of White Snake. The owner of the white snake is the mother of Lishan Mountain, the mother of the Beidou stars. The white snake itself is the purple star, that is, the North Star, which completely conforms to the cultivation of the white snake by the mother of Lishan Mountain. His son is the fourth star of the Big Dipper, which is the one in the middle. The Big Dipper revolves around the four seasons of Polaris, which accords with their mother-child relationship. Straighten out these relationships, and then look at the legendary story of the new White Snake, and it will be smooth immediately. It seems that this is indeed an unusual snake.

In fact, the legend of the white snake first appeared in Feng Menglong's Warning Story. It records the story of Xu Xuan (Xian) of Hangzhou who met the girl of white snake and herring in the West Lake during Shaoxing in the Song Dynasty. Xu Xian and White Snake were in the same boat to shelter from the rain, and they fell in love at first sight. Later, Fahai built a seven-level pagoda with stones, named Leifeng Pagoda, and left a poem: "West Lake Water"
