Folk tale: An 18-year-old girl is obsessed with a septuagenarian
In ancient times, there was a quiet and beautiful small mountain village where a family surnamed Li lived. The Li family has a flower-like daughter named Wan'er, who is eighteen years old, and she is at the prime of her youth. She is not only outstanding in appearance, but also ingenious, gentle and virtuous, and is a good girl who is admired by everyone in the village.
However, what is puzzling is that Wan'er has no pretense about the young men in the village, but she has a soft spot for the old man in the village, Zhang Laohan, who is over seventy years old. Although Zhang Laohan is old, he is in good spirits, often working in the fields, and often telling stories to the children in the village, which is deeply loved by everyone. Every time Wan'er saw Zhang Laohan, she would blush and her heart beat, as if she had seen the person she wanted in her heart.
On this day, the sun sets, and the golden afterglow spreads over the entire village. Wan'er sat in front of her house, embroidering a handkerchief in her hand, but her eyes looked at the old man's hut at the head of the village from time to time. Her mother, Li, saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart, not understanding why her daughter was so obsessed with an old man.
"Wan'er, why do you keep looking at that old man?" Li Shi finally couldn't help but ask.
Wan'er bowed her head and said nothing, a blush on her face. Seeing this, Li was even more anxious, she was worried that her daughter would be confused by Zhang Laohan's sweet words and embark on a road of no return.
At night, the moonlight shines like water on the quiet village. Lee tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She decided to secretly observe the movements between Wan'er and Zhang Laohan to see what made her daughter so obsessed.
The next morning, Wan'er got up early as usual and delivered home-made pastries to Zhang Laohan. Li quietly followed behind his daughter, hiding outside the window of Zhang Laohan's hut, peeking into the house.
I saw that in the house, Zhang Laohan was sitting at the table drinking tea, while Wan'er was sitting on the side, her eyes were full of admiration and admiration. The two talked happily, and bursts of laughter rang out from time to time. The more Li listened, the more angry he became, thinking that this old man was really uneasy and kind, and he actually deceived his daughter.
Suddenly, Zhang Laohan stood up and took out a mirror from a corner of the room. The mirror looked simple and elegant, exuding a faint light. Zhang Laohan handed the mirror to Wan'er, and Wan'er took the mirror and was stunned.
Li Shi saw this scene outside the window, and his heart was even more puzzled. She couldn't resist leaning closer to the window, trying to get a better view in the mirror. At this moment, she was surprised to find that a young and handsome man appeared in the mirror, the man had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his temperament was extraordinary, and he was like Zhang Laohan in front of her.
Li was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he almost fell to the ground. She couldn't believe her eyes, but she couldn't explain the scene in front of her. She understands that this mirror must have an unknown secret, and the reason why Wan'er is obsessed with Zhang Laohan must also be related to this mirror.
Li Qiang endured the fear in his heart and quietly left Zhang Laohan's hut. She decided to discuss the matter with the village elders to see if she could find a solution.
When the elders of the village heard about this, they were also shocked. They got together and discussed what to do. Some people say that this mirror is a monster and should be destroyed immediately, and some people say that this may be God's arrangement, and there is an indissoluble bond between Wan'er and Zhang Laohan. There are many opinions, but no solution has been found.
At this moment, a well-traveled Taoist priest passed by the village. He heard about it and decided to help the villagers solve the mystery. The Taoist priest came to Zhang Laohan's hut and carefully observed the mirror. His brow furrowed, as if he had found something.
"This mirror is extraordinary," the Taoist priest said slowly, "it connects two worlds, one is the real world in which we live, and the other is the illusory world in the mirror. The young man Wan'er saw was actually a person from the world in the mirror. ”
The Taoist priest's words shocked the villagers. They asked how to lift the curse and return Wan'er to normal. The Taoist priest pondered for a moment and slowly said the solution......

The Taoist priest slowly explained the solution: "To unlock this curse, we must first understand the origin of this mirror. The person in the mirror, perhaps Wan'er's lover in her previous life, was trapped in the mirror world for some reason, and Wan'er had feelings for him because of the memories of her previous life. To lift the curse, you need to find the bond between the two of them from their previous lives and untie it. ”
When the villagers heard this, they all felt very mysterious and incredible. But they also understood that this was the only hope, so they expressed their willingness to help Wan'er and Zhang Laohan.
The Taoist priest began to look around for clues, asking about the family histories of Wan'er and Zhang Laohan, consulting ancient books in the village, and even going to nearby temples and Taoist temples to ask for help. After several days of hard work, the Taoist priest finally found a possible clue.
According to ancient records, Wan'er's previous life was a princess named Ruolan, who was deeply in love with a warrior named Qingyun. However, the two were unable to be together for various reasons, Princess Ruolan died of illness in depression, and Qingyun Warrior was also in pain due to the loss of his lover, and finally chose to seal himself in a mirror, hoping to reunite with Princess Ruolan in another world.
The Taoist priest told the villagers that this mirror was the mirror that the Qingyun Warrior had sealed himself. And the reason why Wan'er has feelings for Zhang Laohan is because the memory of her previous life was awakened and she mistakenly recognized Zhang Laohan as a Qingyun warrior.
"To lift the curse, we need to find the place where the Qingyun Warrior is sealed, and awaken his consciousness so that he will voluntarily break the seal. The Taoist priest said.
After hearing this, the villagers expressed their willingness to help Wan'er. They began to search around the village for clues, hoping to find the place where the Qingyun Warriors were sealed. After several days of trying, they finally found the mirror in a remote cave.
The Taoist priest burned incense and chanted mantras in front of the mirror, trying to awaken the consciousness of the Qingyun warriors. However, the Qingyun warrior in the mirror seems to be trapped by the pain of his previous life and cannot break free from the seal. Seeing this, the Taoist priest decided to enter the mirror world in person and talk to the Qingyun Warrior face to face.
After the Taoist priest entered the mirror world, after some hard work, he finally found the Qingyun Warrior. He told the Qingyun Warrior about Wan'er's infatuation with him and their relationship in their previous lives. After hearing this, the Qingyun Warrior burst into tears, and he finally understood his mind.
"I am willing to lift the seal and renew the relationship with Wan'er. Qingyun Warrior said.
When the Taoist priest heard this, he was overjoyed. He immediately began casting spells to help the Qingyun Warriors break the seal. After some effort, the light in the mirror gradually disappeared, and the figure of the Qingyun Warrior became more and more blurred. Eventually, he turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the mirror.
After returning to the real world, the Taoist priest told the villagers that the Qingyun Warrior had lifted the seal. When Wan'er heard the news, she burst into tears with excitement. She finally understood that her feelings for Zhang Laohan were not true love, but the memories of her previous life.
After Zhang Laohan learned the truth, he also felt very relieved. He told Wan'er that he had always treated her as a granddaughter and had never thought about it. He thanked Wan'er and the villagers for their care and companionship during this time, and wished Wan'er and Qingyun Warriors to be happily together.
Soon after, Wan'er met a young and handsome man in the village. He claimed to be the reincarnation of the Qingyun Warrior and came to find Wan'er to continue the frontier. After the two met, an inexplicable emotion surged in their hearts. They poured out their memories of their past lives and their emotions in this life, and finally decided to spend the rest of their lives together.
When the villagers heard the news, they were all happy for them. They sent blessings and gifts one after another, hoping that the couple could live happily together.
Since then, Wan'er and Qingyun Warriors have lived happily ever after. They support and care for each other, and a love story that spans past and present lives is told in the village. And that mysterious mirror has also been properly preserved by the villagers, and has become an eternal memory and legend in their hearts.
