The branch secretary led the villagers to smash the temple and cut down a century-old tree, and caught a small snake with long horns, but the village doctor asked the villagers to move quickly
In a remote mountain village, there is a small ancient temple, next to the small temple there is a towering tree, according to the village elders, this tree is a hundred years old. On weekdays, villagers come to this small temple to pray for peace and prosperity. Recently, however, something unthinkable happened in the village, which plunged the small village into a panic.
"It's not been peaceful in the village lately. The old branch secretary frowned and discussed with a few villagers under the big tree at the entrance of the village.
"But isn't it, Lao Zhang's chickens died inexplicably, all of them had wounds on their necks, as if they had been bitten by something. Villager A said.
There is also Sister-in-law Li's house, who said that she can always hear strange sounds at night, like someone whispering outside the window. Villager B added.
The old branch secretary took a deep breath of dry smoke, slowly exhaled the smoke, and his eyes revealed a trace of firmness: "This matter must be investigated, and the people in our village must not be frightened." ”
So, the old branch secretary led a group of villagers and decided to start with the small temple. Armed with hammers and axes, they came all the way to the small temple.
"Hurry up, everyone, smash this temple for me!" the old branch secretary gave an order, and everyone picked up the tools in their hands and smashed them towards the small temple.
At that moment, an old voice sounded in the sky: "Stop!
Everyone looked up in astonishment, but the sky was clear and there was no one. The old branch secretary frowned and waved his hand to signal everyone to continue.
The temple was soon smashed to pieces, and the hundred-year-old tree was cut down to the ground. Suddenly, a small snake sprang out of the collapsed temple with a small horn on its head.
"Look, what kind of monster is this?" exclaimed Villager A.
Everyone gathered around, and saw the little snake crawling by meandering, and the little horn on its head glittered in the sun. The old branch secretary was quick-eyed, grabbed the little snake and put it in a glass bottle.
"This thing is too evil, let's take it back and study it carefully. The old branch secretary said.
After returning to the village, the old branch secretary handed over the little snake to Uncle Li, the village doctor. Uncle Li is a well-informed person, and he carefully looked at the little snake, his face becoming more and more solemn.
"Old branch secretary, this thing is not something we can provoke. Uncle Li sighed and said, "This is the god in the mountain, you have caused a big disaster." ”
"Gods, do you mean this little snake with horns is a god?" asked the old branch secretary in astonishment.
"Not only that, but this century-old tree and that small temple are its habitats. If you cut down and destroy like this, it will anger the mountain gods. Uncle Li said solemnly.
The old branch secretary and the villagers looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.
"So what now?" asked Villager A in a panic.
"There's only one way, we have to move quickly. Uncle Li said in a deep voice, "This place is no longer safe, once the mountain god is angry, the whole village will suffer." ”
When everyone heard this, they changed color, and the old branch secretary also fell into deep thought. He knew that the decision was at stake for the entire village, but he also knew that it was a place where their ancestors had lived for generations, and it would be easy to leave.
However, things turned out beyond everyone's expectations. That night, the village was suddenly stormy, lightning and thunder. Then the rain poured down, as if it were going to flood the entire village. The villagers hid in panic and prayed that the wind and rain would pass soon.
The next morning the rain stopped, but when the villagers walked out of their homes, they were stunned: landslides and mudslides had occurred in the mountains around the village, and many houses had been buried. And the caught horned snake is gone.
"This is the punishment of the mountain god!" Uncle Li sighed as he looked at the tragic situation in front of him, "We shouldn't have destroyed that small temple and that hundred-year-old tree." ”
The old branch secretary was silent, he knew that what Uncle Li said was right. If they had followed Uncle Li's advice to move earlier, maybe this would not have happened.
"It's useless to talk about that now. The old branch secretary sighed, "Let's quickly organize the villagers to carry out post-disaster reconstruction." ”
So the whole village began the difficult post-disaster reconstruction work. They cleared the rubble caused by mudslides and landslides, repaired damaged houses and roads, and replanted washed out crops...... During this process, everyone silently prayed that the mountain god would forgive them for their mistakes and bless the village with safety.
After a few months, the village gradually returned to its former tranquility and order, but the villagers still left an indelible mark on their hearts: their reverence for nature and their belief in the gods were rekindled, and they cherished their present life even more and worked hard to protect the land where their ancestors had lived for generations. And the small temple that was smashed and the hundred-year-old tree that was cut down have also become their eternal warning that human beings should live in harmony with nature, instead of wantonly destroying and plundering.
Just as the reconstruction of the village was nearing its end, a strange Taoist priest came to the village. He claimed to be a Taoist priest who traveled all over the world, and after hearing about the village, he came to check it out. The old branch secretary and the villagers warmly received him and showed him around the rebuilt village.
After walking around the village, the Taoist priest came to the small temple that had been destroyed. He stared at the ruins for a long time, then turned to the villagers and said, "Do you know that this little temple and that hundred-year-old tree are actually the patron saints of this village. ”
The villagers looked surprised when they heard this, and although they had guessed before, they had never received a definite answer. Now when I heard the Taoist priest say this, I suddenly felt a chill in my back.
"But you don't have to worry too much. The Taoist priest continued, "The mountain god has forgiven you for your sins and has given new life to this land. As long as you take good care of the natural environment and respect the gods in the future, the village will always be safe. ”
After saying this, the Taoist priest drifted away, leaving behind the villagers who were deep in thought. They know that this experience has given them a deep appreciation for the relationship between humans and nature and the power of faith. Since then, the village has become more harmonious and beautiful, and it has become a place of faith and hope.
The horned snake never appeared again, but it became a legend passed down by word of mouth among the villagers. When night falls and the stars twinkle, the elders gather to tell the story of the mountain god, the snake and the village, warning future generations to respect nature and revere the gods. And this story has gradually evolved into a unique cultural symbol and spiritual sustenance in the village over time.
Now, many years later, the village has been renewed, but the reverence for the mountain gods and respect for nature has not changed. Whenever a visitor arrives, the villagers proudly tell them the legend of the mountain god and the little snake, and invite them to join in the unique charm of this mysterious and beautiful land.
Okay, here's what you need to continue with the story:
In that remote mountain village, as time passed, the life of the villagers gradually returned to peace. However, the legend about the mountain god and the little snake has been circulating among the villagers, becoming a topic of conversation after tea and dinner, and even attracting many foreign explorers and scholars.
One day, a young scholar, Li Hao, came to this village with a curiosity about mysterious legends. He asked the villagers for details about the legend and decided to go deep into the forest to find out the traces of the mysterious mountain god and the little snake.
Under the guidance of the villagers, Li Hao came to the ruins of the former small temple. He stood on the ruins, gazing at the surrounding mountains and forests, as if he could feel the mysterious power. Suddenly, a breeze blew, mixed with the breath of the mountains and forests, Li Hao's heart moved, and he decided to go deep into the mountains and forests along this path.
In the dense woods, Li Hao walked cautiously. He found that the ecological environment here is very good, and all kinds of wild animals and plants live in harmony. He thought to himself that perhaps this was the power of the mountain god protecting this land.
As he walked, Li Hao suddenly noticed a strange tree not far ahead. The tree was not very tall, but it had lush foliage and a peculiar vine entwined around its trunk. He took a closer look and was surprised to find that the trunk of the tree was carved with some ancient symbols and words.
Li Hao carefully identified these symbols and words, and found that they seemed to record some legends about mountain gods and small snakes. He was so excited that he quickly took out his notebook and wrote down the symbols and words. Just then, he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the depths of the woods.
Li Hao was shocked in his heart, could it be that the mountain god had appeared? He followed the sound and saw a small animal coming out of the woods. It turned out to be a small squirrel foraging. Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief, but he also realized that this mountain forest did contain endless vitality and mystery.
In the next few days, Li Hao continued to explore the mountains and forests. He found that the flora and fauna in this mountain forest are diverse and harmonious, as if there is a mysterious force maintaining the balance of this ecosystem. He also discovered some ancient ruins and stone carvings, which made him even more convinced of the legend.
However, just as Li Hao was about to leave the village, an unexpected thing happened. That night, he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the village. Curious, he walked out of the room to check on the situation, only to see the villagers gathered at the entrance of the village in a panic.
"What's going on?" Li Hao asked.
"There's a flash flood, we need to evacuate!" shouted a villager.
Li Hao was shocked, he looked up, and saw that the flood was surging down on the mountain peak in the distance, unstoppable. He understood that this was a warning from the mountain gods, and that it was the wrath of heaven caused by the destruction of nature by man. He hurriedly organized the evacuation of the villagers to a safe place.
Fortunately, all the villagers were safely evacuated before the flash flood arrived. After the flash floods, the village suffered some damage, but there were no casualties. The villagers sighed at the power of the mountain god and cherished the land and the natural environment even more.
Li Hao watched the villagers busy cleaning up the ruins and rebuilding their homes, and his heart was full of emotion. He realized that the legend was not just a legend, but a manifestation of man's awe and respect for nature. He decided to record this experience so that more people can understand the village, the legend of the mountain god and the little snake, and call on everyone to cherish the natural environment and protect the ecological balance.
A few months later, Li Hao's book "The Legend of the Mountain God and the Little Snake - A Non-Electronic Adventure in a Village" was published. The book is a detailed account of his experiences and observations in that village, as well as the mysterious legend. The book became an instant sensation and attracted countless readers and explorers to visit this mysterious village.
With the increase in tourists and scholars, the village has become more and more well-known. The villagers took advantage of this opportunity to develop tourism and attract tourists with the mysterious legend as a cultural feature. They have built sightseeing trails, set up signage, and provided a variety of tourist services.
However, they did not forget the warnings of the mountain gods. While developing tourism, they pay more attention to the protection of the natural environment and ecological balance. They have strict environmental regulations and tourism management systems in place to ensure that tourists can enjoy the beauty without causing damage to the environment.
Over the years, the village has become a well-known tourist attraction. Visitors can feel the mystery and beauty of nature here, and also learn about the legend of the mountain god and the little snake. The villagers have also improved their living conditions through the development of tourism, and at the same time cherished and protected this magical land even more.
In that remote mountain village, the legend of the mountain god and the little snake has been passed down for a long time. And the villagers also interpret the true meaning of this legend with their own actions: respect for nature, revere the gods, cherish the environment, and protect their homes.
