In the restaurants and teahouses in Chang 'an, storytellers were talking about the latest volume of the Legend of the White Snake. Everywhere they looked, they were filled with listeners. The storytellers on the seats were holding gavel and began to talk about it skillfully.
Chang 'an was the imperial capital of the Great Tang, and there were many merchants coming and going. From time to time, one could see golden-haired and blue-eyed merchants from outside the Great Tang performing magic tricks.
These merchants from all over the world naturally had to rest and stay. In this restaurant and teahouse, they saw the full seats of guests and the cheers, and listened to the wonderful story of the Legend of the White Snake from the storyteller. They were immediately attracted.
" As the abbot of Golden Mountain Temple, how could Fahai tolerate Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian..."
In ancient times, these storytellers would at most talk about talented scholars and beautiful women, poor scholars and top scholars, and so on. They had long been tired of listening to them. Now, there was suddenly the Legend of the White Snake with demons as the main character. The novel plot and the forbidden love between humans and demons were interesting and easy to understand. These listeners were immediately moved. They all looked forward to the new version of the Legend of the White Snake.
When the merchants who came and went heard the Legend of the White Snake, their interest was immediately attracted. They couldn't wait to ask,
"Brother, I would like to ask, what book is this? Why was it so different? I've already seen several restaurants and teahouses talking about this. Why haven't I heard of it before…"
Looking at the curious merchants from other places, the local Chang 'an listeners couldn't help but curl their mouths and feel proud.
"You are lagging behind in this. Now in Chang 'an, which restaurant or teahouse doesn't know about the Legend of the White Snake written by Bai Xiaosheng? Ever since this book came out, no one has heard the stories of talented scholars and beautiful women…"
" That's right. Speaking of the Legend of the White Snake, it's really amazing. It's novel and interesting. A human and a snake demon can fall in love, and it's so touching. My little sister was so fascinated after listening to it that she couldn't extricate herself…"
Looking at the local Chang 'an listeners who were pleased with themselves, they finally learned about the Legend of the White Snake and the name of Bai Xiaosheng. Some of the merchants could not suppress their curiosity and took out silver taels to buy the previous volumes of the Legend of the White Snake.
With the merchants in Chang 'an, as time went by, more and more people would know about the Legend of the White Snake and the author, Bai Xiaosheng. For Zhao Chen, the more people knew about it, the more Legendary achievements he would obtain, and he would be able to exchange for more abilities in the Legend of the White Snake.
One had to know that this was the world of Journey to the West. The East Victory Continent, the West Ox Continent, the South Zhanbu Continent, and the North Kulu Continent had a vast land and abundant resources. If countless people, demons, and ghosts came to read his novels, he would probably be able to stand upside down like a heifer.
Of course, this kind of thing couldn't be rushed. He had to take it step by step. After more than 20 days, his reputation had been built. As long as he took it step by step, he would sooner or later reach the level of a heifer standing upside down.
The appearance of the Legend of the White Snake also made the shopkeepers of the major bookstores in Chang 'an make a fortune. The Legend of the White Snake was suitable for all ages, especially the love story between Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian, which captured the hearts of many women. Even Princess Changle, who was in the royal palace, asked the imperial guards to catch Zhao Chen and urge him to update on the spot, which showed the attraction of this book.
Soon, the Legend of the White Snake followed the traveling merchants in Chang 'an to all directions. Among them, many merchants from Xihang also bought a few copies of the Legend of the White Snake and took them back as souvenirs to read.
Soon, the Legend of the White Snake gradually spread in Xi Hang and became the favorite book of many rich ladies. Moreover, something unexpected happened. There was a big temple in Xi Hang, and there was a pagoda called Leifeng Pagoda. Coincidentally, the master of this temple was also called Fahai.
Many of these rich merchants 'wives and young ladies were religious. They burned incense and worshiped Buddha. Among them, young ladies often went to Jinshan Temple. However, as the abbot of the temple, Fahai suddenly felt that these rich merchants' womenfolk looked at him strangely, as if they were looking at some despicable person.
As a Buddhist cultivator, Fahai's Buddhist Dharma was naturally not weak, and his mind was even more sensitive. He immediately noticed that there was something wrong with the way these women looked at him. Moreover, it was not just one or two women. There were at least eight or nine women.
This was very wrong!
"Yuanjue, is there something on my face?!”
Fahai asked the young monk beside him. The latter shook his head and said respectfully," Abbot, there's nothing on your face..."
"Since there's nothing on my face, then why would Scholar Sun Cheng's women look at me like that?!”
Fahai's expression became more and more puzzled. He still did not understand what was going on.
When the little monk standing beside him heard this, he said with a clever expression,"This…Abbot, why don't you let me go and ask?”
Hearing this, Fahai nodded. He liked this clever little monk in front of him. The latter quickly walked out and asked the female guests.
An hour later, the young monk ran back with a strange expression on his face." Abbot, I've found out that it's because of a novel called 'The Legend of the White Snake'. There's also a host with the same name as you in the novel…"
When Fahai heard this, a curious look appeared on his face. A novel?!
What kind of novel was the Legend of the White Snake? Why would there be an abbot with the same name as him? Could it be that his Great Hongyuan of subduing demons and saving all living beings had spread and gained fame? Who was the author of the Legend of the White Snake?!
