2.13 A Biography of the White Snake |
It was said that there were two goblin snakes in Yandang Mountains, one was white and another black. They admired the lives among the normal peo-ple, so they changed themselves into two fairy ladies, the white one named Bai Suzhen and the black one as her maiden Xiao Qing. They came to the beautiful scenic city Hangzhou. By the side of West Lake, they encountered a young salesman Xu Xian. Bai Suzhen loved Xu Xian for his diligence and mar-ried him. But later, because of Monk Fa Hal' s vicious interference, their love met with a lot of setbacks. In order to save her husband Bai Suzhen went to Emei Mountains to steal the magic fungus and then summoned up surging flood to Jinshan Temple where lived Monk Fa Hal. But finally they failed the fight and were suppressed by Fa Hai under Leifeng Pagoda by West Lake.
