The man's thatched hut sheltered from the rain, and he met a thousand-year-old yellow half-immortal
In the vast land, there is a small town called Qingyang, and there is an ancient and mysterious legend in the town: whenever the rainy season comes, there will always be some unusual adventures in the mountains and forests of Qingyang.
This year, the rainy season was longer than usual, and the cloudy sky seemed to never shine. There is a young man named Li Yun in the town, because his family is poor, he has to go up to the mountains every day to cut firewood to make ends meet. One day, he was carrying heavy firewood down the mountain, and suddenly the rain was pouring down, so he had to look around for shelter.
Just as Li Yun was about to be drenched in the rain, he saw a lonely thatched hut at the foot of the mountain in front of him. He was overjoyed, and hurried to the hut. When he approached, he saw that although the hut was simple, the door was closed and seemed to be inhabited. He knocked lightly, and in a few moments, the door squeaked open.
The door was opened by an old man with a white beard, dressed in a yellow robe, with a cane in his hand, and his eyes gleamed with wisdom. The old man smiled and invited Li Yun into the house, and handed him a bowl of hot ginger tea. Li Yun was grateful and hurriedly thanked him.
The old man called himself Huang Banxian and had lived in this hut for hundreds of years. He is proficient in divination, can predict the future, and answer people's doubts. After hearing this, Li Yun was respectful, so he told Huang Banxian about all the troubles he had encountered in the past few days.
It turned out that Li Yun's wife had recently been seriously ill, and although she had been treated in many ways, her condition had never improved. The doctors all said that she was afraid that her time was short. Li Yun loved his wife deeply and didn't want her to leave, so he was anxious.
Huang Banxian was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then slowly spoke: "Your wife, who was originally a star in the sky, was relegated to the mortal world because she made some small mistakes. Her lifespan should not have been so short, but due to the entanglement of cause and effect in the mortal world, she was destined for this fate. ”
Li Yun heard it like a cloud, and hurriedly asked: "Then dare to ask the Immortal Chief, is there a way to save my wife's life?"
Huang Banxian smiled slightly and said, "There is a way, but you need to pay the corresponding price." ”
Li Yun said without hesitation when he heard this: "As long as I can save my wife's life, I am willing to pay any price!"
Huang Banxian nodded, took out a golden charm from his sleeve, and handed it to Li Yun: "This charm can extend your wife's life for twelve years, but you must complete a good deed within three years to accumulate merit in order to offset the karma on your wife." ”
Li Yun took the spell, his heart full of gratitude and hope. He bowed deeply to Huang Banxian, then hurriedly said goodbye and returned home.
Back at home, Li Yun gently attached the charm to his wife's bedside. Miraculously, since the charm was applied, his wife's condition gradually improved, and her face became ruddy. Li Yun was overjoyed in his heart, and his gratitude to Huang Banxian was even more indescribable.
However, the good deeds that Huang Banxian said made it difficult for Li Yun. He didn't know where to start, let alone how to accomplish this good deed in three years. So, in addition to taking care of his wife every day, he asked around about good deeds, hoping to find the direction as soon as possible.
In this way, Li Yun, under the guidance of Huang Banxian, began his journey of kindness. He helped the elderly who were lonely, relieved the poor, and built bridges and roads...... Whatever good he could, he did not hesitate to do. His good deeds gradually spread throughout Qingyang Town, and people called him the "Living Bodhisattva".
In the blink of an eye, the three-year period is approaching. Although Li Yun has done many good deeds, he has never had a bottom in his heart. He didn't know if his good deeds were enough to offset the karma on his wife, and he didn't know if the twelve-year period that Huang Banxian had said would really come.
Just when Li Yun was uneasy in his heart, Huang Banxian appeared in front of him again. He smiled and said to Li Yun, "Your good deeds have touched the heavens and the earth, and your wife's karmic karma has been resolved. From now on, she can live like a normal person and no longer have to worry about lifespan. ”
Li Yun burst into tears of excitement after hearing this, and he bowed deeply to Huang Banxian again to express his gratitude. Huang Banxian smiled and waved his hand, turned around and disappeared into the rain.
Since then, Li Yun and his wife have lived happily ever after. Together, they run the family's small business, take care of their elderly parents, and live a plain and warm life. And the story of Huang Banxian has also spread in Qingyang Town and has become a good story.
Whenever the rainy season comes, the people of Qingyang Town will always gather in front of the thatched hut to tell the story of Li Yun and Huang Banxian. They believe that in this world full of mystery and adventure, there are always some unknown forces silently guarding people. And the story of Li Yun and Huang Banxian is one of them.
As Li Yun's wife's body gradually recovered, Li Yun's gratitude to Huang Banxian became deeper and deeper. He often silently recited Huang Banxian's kindness in his heart, and was determined to pass on this kindness to more people.
One day, the river in Qingyang town flooded, and many villagers' homes were submerged. Seeing this, Li Yun did not hesitate to organize a rescue team to help the villagers transfer their property and resettle their families. Under his leadership, the rescue team worked day and night to finally resettle all the affected villagers.
In the rescue process, Li Yun not only did it himself, but also mobilized the wealthy businessmen in the town to donate money and materials to help rebuild their homes. His kindness earned the respect and gratitude of the whole town, and people called him the "Living Bodhisattva".
However, just as the reconstruction work had just begun, Li Yun suddenly fell ill. It turned out that he was overworked during the rescue and his body was overwhelmed. Although he took many good medicines, his condition never improved.
Just when Li Yun's life was dying, Huang Banxian appeared in front of him again. He gently stroked Li Yun's forehead and said, "Although you have done countless good deeds, you still made some mistakes after all. Now you are seriously ill because you have a desire in your heart and you have not been able to let go of your obsession. ”
Li Yun was shocked when he heard this, and he did silently pray in his heart that he could live a few more years so that he could better take care of his family and continue to do good deeds. He bowed his head in shame and confessed to Huang Banxian.
Huang Banxian smiled and shook his head, and said, "Obsession is human nature, but it's too much. You need to let go of your obsession before you can recover. After speaking, he took out a pill from his sleeve and handed it to Li Yun: "This medicine can cure your disease, but you have to remember that life is impermanent, and cherishing the present is the most important thing." ”
Li Yun took the pill, and his heart was full of gratitude. After he took the pill, his body miraculously improved. He knew that this was a gift from Huang Banxian, so he cherished life even more and worked hard to do good.
Since then, Li Yun no longer pursues longevity and fame and fortune excessively, but devotes more time and energy to doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. He helped more people solve difficulties and get rid of the sea of suffering, and became a banner in Qingyang Town.
And Huang Banxian often appeared in his dreams, giving him guidance and encouragement. He knew that Huang Banxian had been silently guarding him, allowing him to go further and more steadily on this path of kindness.
Many years later, Li Yun passed away peacefully in his sleep. His passing did not cause much of a stir, as it is known that he has passed on his kindness to the next generation, and his spirit will live on in people's hearts forever.
And the legend in Qingyang Town has always been circulating in people's mouths. Whenever the rainy season comes, people will always gather in front of the hut and tell the story of Li Yun and Huang Banxian. They believe that in this world full of mystery and adventure, there are always some unknown forces silently guarding people. And the story of Li Yun and Huang Banxian is one of them.
Many years later, Li Yun passed away peacefully in his sleep. His death did not cause much turmoil, because the people of Qingyang Town knew that Li Yun had already deeply imprinted his kindness and good deeds on this land. His spirit is like a seed that takes root in people's hearts and continues to be passed on.
One rainy season after Li Yun's death, the town of Qingyang was hit by floods again. This time, however, the people of the town did not appear to be panicking. They are united as one and carry out the work of fighting floods and providing disaster relief in an orderly manner. It turned out that under the influence of Li Yun, Qingyang Town had formed a good atmosphere of helping each other and facing difficulties together.
Just as the flood waters receded and people began to rebuild their homes, a golden light suddenly appeared in front of the hut. After the golden light dissipated, Huang Banxian's figure appeared in front of people again. He looked at the busy crowd with a relieved smile on his face.
"It seems that I was not wrong in my choice back then. Huang Banxian muttered to himself.
It turned out that the golden spell that Huang Banxian gave to Li Yun back then was not just a simple life-sustaining thing. It is also a guide that allows Li Yun to embark on the road of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. And Li Yun's later good deeds not only saved the lives of himself and his wife, but also changed the style of the entire Qingyang Town.
Huang Banxian stayed in Qingyang Town for a few days, and he was very relieved to see that people were working hard to rebuild their homes. He knew that his mission had been accomplished and that it was time to leave this world.
One early morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone onto the earth, the figure of Huang Banxian gradually became blurred. He smiled goodbye to the land, then turned into a golden light and disappeared into the sky.
Since then, no one in Qingyang Town has ever seen Huang Banxian again. But his name and story have always been passed down in people's mouths. Whenever the rainy season comes, people will always gather in front of the thatched hut to tell the legendary story of Li Yun and Huang Banxian.
And the spirit of Li Yun and Huang Banxian, just like that thatched hut, has become an eternal symbol of Qingyang Town. It tells people that in this world, there are always some forces silently guarding goodness and justice. As long as we have good intentions and move forward bravely, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and usher in a bright future.
As the years go by, the story of Qingyang Town has been passed down from generation to generation. And whenever someone asks about the legend of Li Yun and Huang Banxian, the older generation will always smile and say: "That is the pride of our Qingyang Town, and it is also our eternal inheritance." ”
In this way, a bizarre story about a man's thatched hut sheltering from the rain and meeting a thousand-year-old yellow half-immortal took root in the hearts of the people of Qingyang Town and became an eternal story. And this good story will also inspire the people of Qingyang Town to continue to move forward on the road of kindness and justice.
