We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

The Legend of the White Snake is, of course, also recorded in the Great Xia Dynasty of Zhenyuan Universe.

Furthermore, there are deities in the Zhenyuan universe.

And the deities have been present throughout the entire history of the Zhenyuan universe.

Therefore, many historians speculate that the Legend of the White Snake in the Zhenyuan Universe may very well be a real event that actually happened in the past.

As time goes by, reality becomes stories, stories become epics, and epics become myths.

Ultimately, even myths will be buried by time.

The Legend of the White Snake, as one of the most widely circulated and popular stories, has evolved through dynasties and hundreds of years, resulting in more than a dozen different versions.

Aside from the main characters remaining unchanged, the plot has been drastically altered and taken to an extreme.

"I don't think I'm familiar with this version." Shen Bailian was multitasking, closely observing the scenes of Xu Xian and the White Snake through his Divine Eye.

Perhaps it's because the energy level of this world is too high, or perhaps it's because of the different cultivation systems.

Shen Bailian's power, in this world full of "superhumans," did not experience the suppression that had occurred in the previous world.

However, it was not amplified.

And so far, several minutes have passed, and Shen Bailian has not felt any resistance from this world towards him.

What Shen Bailian didn't know was that this was a mythical world.

The world of a flat earth and a round sky is not a starry sky worldview. There are countless gods and Buddhas in the sky, and this variable was detected the moment it appeared.

however.

The sea embraces all rivers; only the tolerant are great!
In this world, magic is the dominant force.

What good is a strong physical body? It can't withstand a mere hook from the ox-headed and horse-faced demons, nor can it withstand the onslaught of wandering ghosts.
What good is a mere warrior, no matter how strong he is?

Can you still rebel against the will of heaven?
As for variables?
There are just too many variables in this world. You could say that every minute, every second, thousands of variables will arise, as long as the overall direction is still under control.

Then there would be no variables in the world.

Of course, this is also because Shen Bailian has the skill [Primordial Qi], which has the function of concealing the secrets of heaven and hiding himself, so that outsiders can only see him through a thin layer of fog.

It's really hard to see clearly.

"However, no matter which version of the Legend of the White Snake it is, it doesn't make much difference to me," Shen Bailian murmured, recalling the relevant plot points of the Legend of the White Snake.

"According to the plot of the Great Xia mythological novel, whether it is the rough hero Xu Xian, or the Journey to the West which went through eighty-one tribulations... everything has a mastermind behind it all."

Ultimately, they are just pawns on the chessboard.

"It can also be said that it was to overcome tribulations, but afterwards, merits will inevitably appear. Tang Sanzang went through eighty-one tribulations to obtain the true scriptures, which was actually to spread Buddhism and highlight the preciousness of Buddhism."

While the Legend of the White Snake appears to be a love story between Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen, within the context of mythology, it actually serves as a prelude to the descent of the God of Literature to the mortal realm for trials.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a faint, cold laugh.

There are still more bad people in the world!

Just for the sake of Wenquxing's successful descent to earth, those behind-the-scenes manipulators are going to stage a whole show.

How many innocent civilians will be trapped in the flood that will plunge Jinshan Temple into chaos, unable to live or die?

The social classes in this world have become completely solidified.

This truly proves the saying: if you're destined to be rich, you don't need to read books; a mortal will always be a mortal, no matter how many times they reincarnate.

However, all of this was irrelevant to Shen Bailian; he was ultimately just a passerby in this world.

Since the obsessions surrounding historical artifacts possess the existence of divine matter (the origin of the world), then the even more precious power of merit must also be another kind of divine matter.

"However, how can we maximize our profits?" Shen Bailian frowned slightly, lost in thought.

As the saying goes, the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.

The Legend of the White Snake can be seen as a prelude to the God of Literature descending to earth to undergo tribulations.

This means that the eyes of all the gods and Buddhas will not all be on this place in a short period of time, and even if an insignificant mortal martial artist like Shen Bailian were to intrude, he would not attract any attention.

But when it comes time to divide the merits, all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens will surely notice something amiss.

Therefore, what Shen Bailian needs to do next is to make the most of the information gap, maximize the benefits, acquire as much merit as possible, and then transform it into divine matter.

Add points to the "Close to the Ends of the Earth" skill and escape this world.

The plan is that simple.

"I've got it!" Shen Bailian's brows relaxed as he looked at the two snake demons, who were in great shape, especially after seeing the younger one, Xiao Qing.

To maximize benefits, one must become an insider.

Xu Xian, Bai Suzhen, and Xiaoqing have been the core characters in the Legend of the White Snake since ancient times. Of course, Fahai can also be included, forming a core group of four.

Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen were destined to be a couple.

If anyone wants to take action against these two or try to poach their employees, it will definitely alert the mastermind behind the scenes.

Therefore, the only remaining choices are Xiaoqing and Fahai. The latter has almost lost all worldly emotions and is too stubborn. He will definitely be wary of Shen Bailian, a strange mortal martial artist, who intentionally approaches him.

It's not easy to get close.

So in the end, only Xiao Qing was left.

Although Xiaoqing is a demon, according to the script of the Legend of the White Snake, Xiaoqing's emotions are richer than Fahai's, and she is also more curious.

Compared to the other three, she is relatively easy to approach.

Moreover, based on Shen Bailian's brief observation, Xiaoqing was a typical tsundere, giving off a tough-talking but soft-hearted vibe, making her relatively easy to win over. Of course, the most important thing was that Shen Bailian felt he definitely couldn't get along with that Fahai.

"To get close to Xiaoqing in a legitimate way, we need to find a suitable springboard." Thinking of this, Shen Bailian once again turned his gaze to Officer Li: "This guy is pretty good."

"As Xu Xian's brother-in-law, Li Gongfu will definitely invite his friends from the government office to be guests when Xu Xian and Bai Niangzi get married."

What I need to do is, during this period, bribe the county officials and become Li Gongfu's friend, and then everything else can proceed smoothly..."

Shen Bailian mentally refined the details of the plan, then stood up shakily and hurried into a dark alley.

After all, he is still a beggar who has been starving for a long time.

A few seconds later.

At the other end of the alley, a tall, middle-aged man, about eight feet tall, wearing an expensive black robe with cloud patterns, emerged from the shadows.

His long, jet-black hair was neatly tied into an official bun, which made his thin face appear even more dignified. His steps were steady and powerful, and he quickly blended into the crowd.

This person is none other than Shen Bailian.

For a martial arts expert in the late stage of the Sea Opening Realm, controlling his bones and muscles to change his appearance and control the growth of his hair is an extremely simple matter.

As for the precious cloud-patterned black robe, nanotechnology can solve that problem in the blink of an eye.

……

"Okay, I'm not kidding anymore."

"However, this is a major life event, and you've already pledged your life to a woman of unknown origin. Don't you even have any respect for me, your elder?"

“Brother-in-law,” Xu Xian said directly, “Xiao Bai will know at a glance that if my sister were still alive, she would definitely like her too.”

"Sigh~" Li Gongfu sighed helplessly upon hearing this, "Alright, let's go."

What else could he do?

Xu Xian had already started calling him "Little White" so affectionately. As a seasoned constable, Li Gongfu knew in his heart that Xu Xian was determined to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Furthermore, he wanted to see who this person was who could bewitch Xu Xian so completely.

It should be noted that there are quite a few matchmakers in Lin'an City who have tried to arrange marriages for Xu Xian, but so far, Xu Xian is still alone.

"Yes, thank you, brother-in-law." Xu Xian breathed a sigh of relief, a look of joy on his face, and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, they are at Fengle Restaurant up ahead."

"Fenglelou?" Li Gongfu lowered his voice. "Don't we still owe Fenglelou and Master Zhao money?"

"Yes, we still owe three hundred taels of silver."

"Forehead……"

……

Another month or so has passed in a flash.

"I wasted another day, just getting by!"

Inside, the charcoal fire burned extremely brightly, making one squint. Shen Lian calculated the time, removed a storybook from his face, and got up to go for a drink.

Outside the house, several constables were chatting idly.

"Another boring day, so boring it's driving me crazy, and it's almost time to get off work again."

"Get out of here! A well-fed man doesn't know the hunger of a starving man. If you really can't stand it, give me your concubine."

"Pah! Erniu, you little brat, you can't say anything nice. If you keep talking nonsense, watch out, your Uncle Li's fist won't be blind!"

"..."

“Don’t you think it’s not good for other departments to see us being so relaxed?” a newly transferred constable suddenly said.

"What's wrong with it? Whether you do a lot or a little, the government still pays you the same meager salary, doesn't it?" Li Dadan raised his eyelids and shook his head as he said:
"Besides, with us protecting them, what's there to be afraid of?"

"The boss is probably sleeping in his room again."

"..."

The constables were laughing and joking when they saw Shen Lian walk out of the house. They immediately stood up straight, their faces serious, and said, "Boss."

"Hmm." Seeing this, Shen Lian nodded and said, "You two, Erniu, come with me. The rest of you, disperse."

After saying that, Shen Lian waved his hand and left.

Upon hearing this, Li Dadan and Erniu immediately gave the constables behind them a provocative smile and followed Shen Lian's footsteps.

It made everyone envious.

This newly arrived superior was truly a favorite among all the constables. He clocked in on time every day, was generous with his money, and often took his men to Fenglelou for drinks.

The only downside is that they always like to make people stand as punishment, saying it's like standing at attention.

Outside.

The cold wind howled like a mournful cry, sweeping through the streets and alleys. Snowflakes continued to fall in the air, and the weather was freezing cold, with the wind chilling to the bone.

A carriage was already waiting outside the county government office.

"master."

"Let's go straight to Fenglelou." Shen Lian led Li Dadan and Erniu directly into the carriage.

"Yes, sir." (End of chapter)
