Folk tale: There is a hidden gold in the broken inkstone
In the ancient East, there is a mysterious land surrounded by Maoshan Mountain. The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, the people are outstanding, but there are also many strange legends. In this land, there is a young man named Lin Feng, who is kind and intelligent by nature, but he has a bad fate and a poor family.
One day, Lin Feng was chopping wood in the mountains and accidentally found a deserted ancient tomb. The front of the tomb is overgrown with weeds, and the handwriting on the tombstone has long been blurred. Curiously approaching, he saw a broken inkstone lying quietly in the dirt next to the tombstone, seemingly inconspicuous. Lin Feng's heart moved, so he picked up this inkstone, planning to take it home, maybe it can be used to grind ink and write paintings.
Back at home, Lin Feng washed the inkstone and put it on the desk. Strangely, although the inkstone is worn, it exudes an inexplicable glow, which seems to contain some kind of secret. Lin Feng couldn't help but wonder, could it be that this inkstone was not an ordinary thing?
That night, the moonlight was like water, Lin Feng was sitting at the desk, about to grind the ink, when suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the ink in the inkstone automatically rippled. He was surprised to see that a vague shadow gradually appeared in the center of the inkstone, which seemed to be an ancient soul.
The soul spoke slowly, and his voice was old and low: "Young man, do you know the origin of this inkstone? It is a thousand-year-old magic weapon, which once belonged to a Maoshan Taoist priest. The Taoist priest cultivated deeply, and used the inkstone as a medium to seal a thousand-year-old demon. Now, the evil ghost is about to break the seal and endanger the world. You must find the descendants of the Maoshan Dao sect to stop this disaster. ”
Lin Feng was dumbfounded when he heard this, he didn't expect that the inkstone he had inadvertently picked up would hide such a shocking secret. He is well aware of his heavy responsibilities and does not dare to slack off. Early the next morning, he embarked on a journey to find the heirs of the Maoshan Taoist sect.
After several days of trekking through mountains and rivers, Lin Feng finally came to the foot of Maoshan Mountain. Here the clouds and mist are shrouded, and the fairy atmosphere is fluttering, like a fairyland on earth. He inquired around, and finally learned that the successor of the Maoshan Dao Sect was an old man named Qingfeng Dao Elder.
Lin Feng carried the inkstone in his arms, climbed the mountains and mountains all the way, and finally came to the residence of the Qingfeng Dao Chief. I saw an old man with a white beard, meditating with his eyes closed, and his breath was long. Lin Feng stepped forward and saluted respectfully, telling him the origin of the inkstone and the fact that the evil ghost was about to break the seal one by one.
After hearing this, Qingfeng Dao slowly opened his eyes, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. He took the inkstone, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then sighed: "Sure enough, this evil ghost is the demon of a thousand years ago, and he was sealed here by my patriarch. Now that the seal is loose, it must be resealed as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
Lin Feng asked eagerly, "Dao Chief, what can we do to reseal that evil ghost?"
Qingfeng Dao Leader pondered for a moment and said, "To reseal the evil ghosts, two things are needed: one is the secret spell of Maoshan Mountain, and the other is the blood of the purest and most benevolent people. I have my own way of spelling, but the blood of the purest and most benevolent people is extremely rare. You're kind-hearted, maybe you can give it a try. ”
Lin Feng nodded without hesitation and agreed: "For the sake of the common people in the world, I am willing to give it a try." ”
Qingfeng Dao Leader nodded in approval, and then began to prepare the charm. Lin Feng returned home, bathed and changed clothes, and prayed sincerely. The next morning, he came to the head of the Qingfeng Road, bit his finger, and dripped a drop of blood. The blood dripped on the spell, instantly turning into a golden light, enveloping the spell in it.
Seeing this, Qingfeng Dao Chang's eyes showed joy: "Okay, with this pure and benevolent blood, we can reseal that evil ghost." ”
The two immediately set off and returned to the place where the ancient tomb was. I saw that there was a black air, and the roar of the evil spirit was deafening. Qingfeng Dao Chang held the talisman in his hand, chanting words in his mouth, while Lin Feng held the inkstone tightly and stood aside on guard.
Suddenly, a golden light fell from the sky and shot straight towards the ancient tomb. The golden light and the black qi intertwined, bursting out with amazing energy. The demon's roar grew weaker and weaker, eventually dissipating into a puff of light smoke into the air.
Qingfeng Dao Leader withdrew the charm and let out a long breath: "Finally re-sealed it." ”
Lin Feng also breathed a sigh of relief, and the big stone in his heart finally fell. He looked at Qingfeng Daoist gratefully: "Thank you Daoist for saving your life." ”
Qingfeng Dao Chang smiled slightly: "No need to thank you, you are kind-hearted and have your own blessings." Although this inkstone has lost its mana, it is still a precious cultural relic. If you take good care of it, it may come in handy in the future. ”
Lin Feng respectfully took the inkstone, his heart full of gratitude and awe. He knows that although he is just an ordinary villager, he can also make a modest contribution to the people of the world. Since then, he has worked harder to live, using his kindness and diligence to bring endless hope and warmth to this land.
And the broken inkstone, under Lin Feng's careful care, lay quietly on the desk, witnessing the growth and legend of this kind guy.
However, just when Lin Feng thought that everything was over, he didn't expect that this was just the beginning. Because in this world, sin is always pervasive, and the contest between good and evil will never stop.
After a few months, Lin Feng's life gradually returned to peace. He still chops wood and cultivates the land every day, takes care of his elderly parents, and occasionally picks up an inkstone to polish ink and write and write pictures in his spare time. However, deep down he always had an uneasy premonition, as if something was about to happen.
One day, Lin Feng was chopping wood on the mountain when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance. He looked up and saw a group of officers and soldiers on tall horses galloping in the direction where he was. Lin Feng was shocked, and quickly put down the axe and hid in the woods on the side.
The group of officers and soldiers came to the door of Lin Feng's house, led by an officer with a full face. After he dismounted, he pushed open the hidden courtyard door and shouted: "Search! Turn this place upside down!"
The officers and soldiers immediately took action and turned Lin Feng's home upside down. After a while, a soldier came out of the house with a brocade box and presented it to the officer. When the officer opened the brocade box, he saw that there was a pile of glittering jewels inside.
A greedy glint flashed in the officer's eyes, he turned to look at Lin Feng who was hiding in the woods, and sneered: "Good you Lin Feng, you dare to hide so many jewels privately!
Seeing this, Lin Feng was shocked in his heart. He knew that he had been framed for no reason, but in the face of these wolf-like officers and soldiers, he was powerless to resist. Soon, he was escorted back to the county government by the officers and soldiers.
In the hall of the county office, Lin Feng was forced to kneel on the cold bluestone slab. The officer took the pile of jewels and viciously asked him about their origins. Lin Feng insisted that he was innocent, but the officer did not listen to his defense at all, and only blindly persecuted and intimidated.
At this moment, a clear voice suddenly came from outside the lobby: "Let's slow down the punishment! I may know a thing or two about the origin of these jewels." ”
Everyone followed the prestige, only to see an old man in a fluttering robe walk in. It is the head of the breeze road. He came to the lobby, saluted the magistrate, and then pointed to the pile of jewels and said, "These jewels were taken out of a ritual vessel. And that magic weapon is a thousand-year-old inkstone. ”
When the county magistrate heard this, he couldn't help but show surprise. He looked at the officer and asked, "What the hell is going on?"
The officer's face changed, but he quickly regained his composure. He quibbled: "What the Dao Chief said is wrong, these jewels were obviously found from Lin Feng's house, and they have nothing to do with any ancient inkstones. ”
Qingfeng Dao Chang sneered, and took out an object from his sleeve, which was the broken inkstone that Lin Feng had picked up at the beginning. He pointed to the inkstone and said: "This inkstone is the magic weapon of the Maoshan Taoist sect, and it contains the truth. These jewels were taken out of the dark compartment of the inkstone. ”
Seeing this, the officer's face suddenly turned pale. He knew that the matter of framing him had been exposed, but he was unwilling to let Lin Feng go like this. He gritted his teeth and said, "Even so, it can't prove that Lin Feng is innocent. Maybe he got it somewhere else?"
Qingfeng Dao Chang shook his head and sighed, "You are really stubborn. Well, I'll show you the true power of this inkstone. ”
As he spoke, he silently recited the mantra, and the inkstone in his hand suddenly bloomed with dazzling light. In that light, an ancient soul could be faintly seen. When the officers and men saw this, they were all so frightened that they fell to their knees and kowtowed like pounding garlic.
The county magistrate also saw that something was wrong, he waved off the officers and soldiers, let Qingfeng Dao Chang and Lin Feng stay, and inquired about the incident in detail. When he learned that Lin Feng was framed by the officer because he accidentally picked up the inkstone, the county official couldn't help but be furious, and took down the officer on the spot and put him in prison.
Lin Feng was grateful, and thanked Qingfeng Dao Chang again and again. Qingfeng Dao Chang smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You don't have to thank me, it's your own good karma." Remember, with good thoughts, there is God's blessing. ”
After speaking, he drifted away, leaving Lin Feng in a daze. He looked at the back of Qingfeng Dao for a long time, and his heart was full of respect and gratitude. He knew that the reason why he was able to save the day was all thanks to the help of the Qingfeng Dao Master and the magical power of the inkstone.
Since then, Lin Feng has cherished his life more and paid more attention to his own moral cultivation. With his kindness and hard work, he won the respect and love of the villagers. And the broken inkstone has also become the most precious heirloom in his family. Every time he picked up the inkstone and sharpened the ink, he would think of that thrilling experience and the Qingfeng Daoist who saved him from fire and water.
And in this world, although evil is pervasive, the power of justice will never disappear. As long as people have good thoughts and uphold justice, they will be able to defeat all evil forces and protect their own happiness and peace. Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Lin Feng is already a middle-aged man. He still maintains a kind nature, is willing to give, and is deeply loved by the villagers. And the broken inkstone has also accompanied him through countless springs, summers, autumns and winters, witnessing the ups and downs of his life.
One day, Lin Feng was grinding ink at home, preparing to teach calligraphy and painting to the children in the village. Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and a rainstorm was coming. Lin Feng hurriedly put away the inkstone and calligraphy and painting tools, and prepared to close the door to avoid the rain.
Just then, there was a sharp knock on the door. Lin Feng opened the door and saw a soaking young man standing at the door, pale and panting. As soon as he saw Lin Feng, he fell to his knees with a thud and said in a trembling voice: "Help! My family suddenly changed, my parents died, and my sister and I were left to rely on each other. Now there are bullies who oppress us and want to take my sister as a concubine. I have nowhere else to go, so I have to come to your old man's house for help!"
When Lin Feng heard this, his heart was shocked. He picked up the young man, let him into the house to shelter from the rain, and inquired in detail about what had happened. It turned out that the young man's name was Xiao Zhi, and he was an ordinary villager in a neighboring village. His parents were brutally murdered for resisting the oppression of bullies. When the bully saw that Xiaozhi's sister was beautiful and moving, he had the heart to rob him. Xiao Zhi was powerless to resist, so he had to ask for help everywhere.
After listening to Xiao Zhi's story, Lin Feng felt a wave of indignation in his heart. He is well aware of the cruelty of bullies, and he also understands how dangerous the situation of the Xiaozhi brothers and sisters is. He pondered for a moment, and then said to Xiao Zhi, "Don't worry, I will find a way to help you." You stay here for a while, and when the rain stops, we'll discuss what to do. ”
Xiao Zhi was grateful and thanked him again and again. Lin Feng turned around and returned to the study, picked up the broken inkstone, and prayed silently in his heart. He knew that the bully he had to fight against this time was huge, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to resist with the strength of himself and the villagers. He hopes to use the power of the inkstone to resolve this crisis.
At this moment, a faint light suddenly came from the inkstone. Lin Feng's heart moved, and he hurriedly put the inkstone on the table and observed it carefully. I saw that the light in the inkstone became brighter and brighter, and gradually formed a vague shadow. The shadow seemed to be an ancient soul, slowly telling him something.
Lin Feng held his breath and listened carefully. After a moment, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face. He stood up, came to Xiao Zhi, and said, "I already know what to do." Don't worry, we're going to defeat that bully and rescue your sister. ”
When Xiao Zhi heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. He held Lin Feng's hand tightly and said excitedly, "Thank you! I will never forget your kindness no matter what!"
Lin Feng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "No need to thank you, this is what I should do." Now, let's gather the villagers and discuss a concrete plan of action. ”
Soon, Lin Feng summoned the strong men in the village and told them what happened to Xiao Zhi and the crimes of the bullies. The villagers were filled with indignation and expressed their support for Lin Feng, defeated the bully together, and rescued Xiaozhi's sister. Seeing that the villagers were so united, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart.
After discussing the plan of action, they took advantage of the darkness to quietly head towards the bully's mansion. Along the way, Lin Feng held an inkstone and silently recited the magic in his heart. The light in the inkstone became brighter and brighter, as if to guide them in the direction.
Finally, they arrived at the bully's mansion. I saw that the gate of the mansion was closed and heavily guarded. Lin Feng motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then quietly walked around to the back door of the mansion. He pushed the door lightly, and it opened. It turned out that the bully's men were so drunk that no one noticed their arrival.
Lin Feng led the villagers into the mansion quietly, avoiding the patrolling guards all the way to the bully's bedroom. They broke down the door and took down the bully who was still dreaming in one fell swoop. The bully's subordinates heard the movement and rushed to help, but they were all subdued by the villagers who had been prepared one by one.
Soon, the entire mansion was under their control. They find the imprisoned sister of Xiao Zhi and free her. When Xiaozhi brothers and sisters saw each other, they hugged their heads and cried. The villagers also cheered and celebrated the victory.
The bully was sent to the county office and received the punishment he deserved. And the Xiaozhi brothers and sisters also rebuilt their homes and started a new life with the help of Lin Feng.
After this incident, Lin Feng's reputation spread even further. He not only saved the Xiaozhi brothers and sisters with his kindness and wisdom, but also brought peace and happiness to the villagers. And the broken inkstone once again showed its magical power, guarding this land and the people here.
Since then, Lin Feng has cherished his life more, and has also paid more attention to cultivation and moral improvement. He knows that only with good thoughts can he have true strength and wisdom, and can he leave a deep mark on this world.
