Chapter 774: Chapter 772: Xu Xian 1

Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators

Dream-Making Expert

The ancients said: Above there is heaven, below there are Su and Hang.

The sixteenth year of Shaoxing, Hangzhou, West Lake.

A youth in blue cloth carried a book in his arms, hurrying past the lakeside. When he saw the Broken Bridge’s lingering snow, he unconsciously slowed his steps.

His gaze swept across the lake’s surface. After a silence, a sigh.

He continued on toward his sister’s house.

The youth was named Xu Xian. Both his parents had died when he was young, and he lived with his sister Xu Jiaorong and his brother-in-law Li Gongfu.

If not for an accident.

Next, he would give up his plans for the imperial examination and be sent by his sister Xu Jiaorong to work as an apprentice at a pharmacy in the city.

Then, roughly five or six years later.

He would meet a pair of sisters, one white and one green, by the West Lake.

The elder sister in white was named Bai Suzhen. She would be his future wife, and this mortal marriage of his had been decided a thousand years ago.

Because the true form of that woman named Bai Suzhen was a white snake he had saved a thousand years ago when he was a shepherd boy.

A thousand years of cultivation had made her a spirit, and she was only a single step away from ascending to the Immortal Realm and taking her place among the immortals.

Yet that single step required her to pass through a mortal love tribulation with him before she could cross it.

Unfortunately, humans and demons walk different paths.

This love tribulation was incredibly difficult to pass.

Not only would it draw the monk Fahai from Jinshan Temple outside the city to beat the mandarin ducks apart, in the end it would even separate flesh and blood for eighteen years.

Only after his son, the Wenqu Star descended to the mortal world, passed the imperial examination as the top scholar.

Would their family be reunited once more.

But what came after the reunion? The book did not say.

Yet thinking carefully, the answer was already there.

Bai Suzhen was a snake spirit who had cultivated for a thousand years. Falling in love with Xu Xian was only to pass through the love tribulation and ascend to immortality.

So after the tribulation passed, she would naturally take her place among the immortals, not remain with a mortal.

And the child born of Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian was also the Wenqu Star descended to the mortal world, and in the end would still have to return to the heavens.

So in the end.

It was nothing but a great dream after the gods descended to undergo their tribulation.

After the dream ended, only Xu Xian, a mortal, was left alone and bitter in this world.

As for one person attaining the Dao and even the chickens and dogs ascending to heaven.

What a joke.

Never mind that according to the story.

After Bai Suzhen was suppressed by Fahai beneath Jinshan Temple, Xu Xian directly became a monk and never raised the child at all.

Even if there really was some debt of raising him.

But the Wenqu Star was only here to make a trip through the mortal world. Could he really let himself gain an extra father above his head?

If that were truly the case.
