In an old village, there is a legend that says that there was a snake, a very mysterious creature. This snake is called the "spirit snake" because it is said to have a very miraculous ability to make people's wishes come true. However, if you offend this snake, it will have terrible consequences.
There was a young man named Li Ming. He is a small local vendor who runs a small shop. One day, he heard a legend about the "spirit snake" and he wanted to find out. So, he began to inquire about the snake in the village. Eventually, he learned that the snake lived in an ancient temple. Li Ming decided to go to the temple to see if the snake really existed. When he reached the temple, he saw a very large snake. This snake is up to five meters long and has golden spots on its body, which is very beautiful. When Li Ming approached it, the snake suddenly turned around and seemed to be looking at him. Li Ming felt a little scared, but he still decided to make friends with this snake. For the next few days, Li Ming would come to the temple every day to play with the snake. He began to form a special bond with the snake, which he felt was very friendly to him and seemed to understand his words.
However, this friendly relationship quickly became very dangerous. One day, Li Ming got lost in the temple. He kept walking forward until he entered a dark room. This room was very cold, and Li Ming felt a little scared. Then he heard a soft hissing sound, as if something was slowly approaching him. Li Ming began to feel afraid. He desperately tried to escape, but his foot seemed to be stuck in something. He looked back and found himself trapped in the room by the golden snake. At this moment, he heard a sneer, as if the snake was laughing at his stupidity. Li Ming began to feel very frightened. He knew he had made a mistake and that he had offended the snake.
He began apologizing to the snake, hoping to gain its forgiveness. However, the snake attacked him mercilessly. Its venom made Li Ming's body stiffen instantly, and he felt like he was about to die. At this moment, Li Ming saw a light. He felt his body being lifted up, and then he passed out. When Li Ming woke up, he found himself lying in a hospital in his village. He was very surprised because he remembered that he was dead. However, his body seems to have fully recovered. He felt very grateful because he knew that the "spirit snake" had saved his life.
Since then, Li Ming has had a very special affection for snakes. He came to believe that this animal could bring good luck. He decided to come to that temple every year and pray to the serpent for good luck and health. In this way, he hopes to make his life better.
