Zhou Wensheng remembered that his father would often make himself roasted chicken, roasted rabbit, and braised duck. He had to bring them to his room every time he made it. Because of this, he often nagged at him. He suddenly felt a little guilty and touched his nose without daring to say anything.

“Just now Zihao called you a master. I thought they found out that I worshiped the white snake, so I reacted a little exag. I don’t want anyone to disturb it. It’s very disrespectful to it.”

Grandpa Zhou sighed softly: “Actually, I said a few things about white snakes when they were young, they all listened to these stories at that time. But when they get older, they sneered and said that they didn’t like to listen to such stories. Since that, I didn’t tell them about it. And I don’t want to explain too much to them. I will remember the white snake alone, I will not force others. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I leave a word that they should scatter my ashes under the cliff after I died. Maybe I will be able to see the white snake after doing that. My children and grandchildren are also very filial. I’m sure they will burn a lot of paper money which is enough for me and the white snake.”

Granpa Zhou haven’t finished talking, but Grandma Zhou became unhappy. She stretched out her hand and pinched him: “You don’t want to be with me?”

Grandpa Zhou quickly took her hand and comforted: “I naturally want you to be with me, but I’m afraid you will be unhappy. After all, there will be no cemetery when the ashes are scattered. I don’t know if I can find a shelter for you from wind and rain.”

“There is nothing to be unhappy about.” Grandma Zhou bowed her head and peeled a melon seed and stuffed Grandpa Zhou’s mouth: “If I was unhappy, how could I let you take out so many chickens from our home when life was so difficult back then? Even I can’t bear to eat them.”

Hearing that the topic of the old couple had gone to the funeral, Zhou Wensheng quickly brought the topic back: “Little Master, did we see the soul of a white snake last night?”

Lin Qingyin looked at the old house: “It’s right there, do you want to see it?”

Grandpa Zhou stood up abruptly. His chair turned over because of his big movement and fell to the ground. His hands trembled in excitement: “Can you let me see it?”

Lin Qingyin raised her chin towards Zhou Zihao: “Help your grandfather. Let’s go see the white snake.”

When they were building the villa, they wanted to keep the yard alone, but the old man was unwilling. They had to keep the old house. After all, they didn’t want to make the old man upset because of this little thing, so they didn’t care about it anymore.

Although the old couple now living in the new villa, they go back to the old house every day to clean up and open the windows for ventilation, so the inside is no different from the past.

After Lin Qingyin entered, she went directly to the easternmost room. She asked Zhou Zihao to close the window and set up the formation. After the last stone was placed, the originally bright room suddenly darkened, and a giant snake coiled on the beam gradually became visible.

Grandpa Zhou looked at the sleeping white snake with closed eyes, tears suddenly fell from his eyes. However, he covered his mouth tightly for fear of waking it up. Lin Qingyin explained in a low voice: “The white snake indeed die under the cliff, but its consciousness was not destroyed. Your worship, belief, and incense allowed its consciousness to survive in this world from that day until now. I can tell by seeing its complete body. It’s just that it has no physical body after all. The yang energy during the day is very strong and it can damage its body, so it can only leave the room from 11 pm to 5 am.”
