New house shadows
In ancient times, there was a rich town, and there was a famous rich man named Zhao Decai. He made his fortune in the silk and porcelain business, and his family was rich in gold and silver, and he was a well-known wealthy man in the town. As his wealth grew, Zhao decided to expand his home to show off his wealth and status.
So, he invited the most famous local architects and craftsmen to start construction. The new house covers a vast area, with exquisite design and extraordinary style. However, after the new house was built, a series of strange things happened one after another.
The first to appear strange were the servants of the Zhao family. They often hear eerie noises at night, sometimes the sound of vague cries, sometimes the sound of things moving or breaking inexplicably. A timid maid claimed to have seen an ethereal figure in white wandering the courtyard in the moonlight.
Zhao Decai didn't believe these rumors at first, thinking that they were hallucinations caused by the servants being too nervous. But as time went on, even he encountered something unthinkable.
One night, Zhao Decai was alone in the study to review the accounts, and suddenly heard a faint woman's singing outside the window, the song was sad and sad, which made people feel desolate. He curiously pushed open the window, but saw that the moonlight was like water, and the shadows of the trees were swaying, how could there be half a figure?
Another day, Zhao Decai was walking in his back garden, and suddenly found a small skull buried under a precious peony tree. He was so shocked that he ordered someone to dig up, but found nothing, and the little skull seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
The people in the house were panicked, and Zhao Decai also felt the seriousness of the matter. He began to wonder if there was something wrong with the feng shui of the new house, or if he had offended a certain master, so he decided to ask a monk to do the practice of exorcism.
The monk came to the Zhao family's house, held a magic weapon, recited a mantra, and walked around the mansion again and again. In the end, he said to Zhao Decai with a solemn face: "Zhao Yuanwai, your family is full of grievances, and there seems to be something unfair. ”
Zhao Decai hurriedly asked for a solution, and the monk pondered for a moment before slowly speaking: "Has the staff offended any high-ranking people recently, or has the ancestral tomb in the family been relocated or destroyed?"
Zhao Decai was shocked when he heard this, and he remembered that at the beginning of the construction of the house, several ownerless orphan tombs were indeed moved because of the need for expansion. Could it be that he offended the master because of this? He hurriedly explained the matter and asked the monk for guidance.
After hearing this, the monk frowned: "Outside, you may have touched something that shouldn't be touched." Although these lonely graves seem to have no owner, who knows if there is a hidden cemetery of the master hidden in them. The only way to do this now is to sincerely surpass the souls of the dead, and perhaps this turmoil can be calmed down. ”
So, according to the monk's instructions, Zhao Decai prepared rich offerings and incense, and under the auspices of the monk, a grand ceremony was carried out. After the ceremony, the strange phenomena in the house really decreased a lot.
However, just when Zhao Decai breathed a sigh of relief, an even stranger thing happened.
That night, Zhao Decai was processing accounts in the study, when suddenly a cold wind blew, and the door of the study slowly opened with a "squeak". He looked up and saw a woman in white walking in.
The woman's face was delicate, but with an indescribable sense of grievance. She looked at Zhao Decai and said quietly: "Zhao Yuanwai, do you know why there is so much resentment in your mansion?"
Zhao Decai was frightened and stammered, "Auntie...... Girl, who are you, and why are you in my study?"
The woman in white sighed, "I am one of those lonely graves. Thou hast destroyed our resting place in order to enlarge the house, so that our souls have nowhere to live but to wander in your house. ”
Zhao Decai was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly apologized: "Girl, I didn't think it well and offended you." I would like to choose a new place for you to be buried, and ask the monks to spend time for you, hoping that you can rest in peace. ”
When the woman in white heard this, her expression was slightly gloomy: "Since Zhao Yuanwai has this sincerity, we will no longer embarrass you." However, you need to remember that everything in the world is spiritual, and you should not offend it at will. ”
After speaking, the woman in white turned into a puff of light smoke and disappeared into the study.
The next day, Zhao Decai followed the instructions of the woman in white to choose a place for the souls in the lonely graves to be buried again, and invited a senior monk to spend it for them. Since then, nothing strange has happened in the Zhao family's mansion.
However, the story spread around the town and became a warning legend for future generations. People say that although Zhao Decai is rich, he also offended the masters and almost caused a catastrophe. This also reminds everyone that while pursuing wealth, we must also respect all things in the world and not offend at will.
After this series of events, Zhao Decai also deeply reflected on his behavior. He began to build bridges and roads, and did good deeds, hoping to make up for his mistakes. Gradually, his kindness touched the townspeople, and their perception of him changed.
And the legend of the woman in white has become a mysterious story in the town. Whenever night falls and the moonlight shines on the courtyard of the Zhao family's house, people seem to be able to see the ethereal figure in white wandering in the courtyard. But this time, there was no longer a sense of grief on her face, but a faint smile.
The story of Zhao Decai spread throughout the town, and it also left a profound lesson for future generations: when pursuing one's own interests, one should also respect others and all things in the world. Only in this way can we truly attain inner peace and wealth.
As time passed, Zhao Decai's family became more and more prosperous. Not only did they grow their business, but they also produced many talented children and grandchildren. Remembering the teachings of their ancestors, these children and grandchildren not only pay attention to the development of the family business, but also actively participate in social welfare undertakings and make many contributions to the town.
And the legend of the woman in white gradually evolved into the patron saint of the town. Whenever the town encounters difficulties or disasters, people will spontaneously organize themselves and pray for the blessings of the woman in white. It is said that under the protection of the woman in white, the town has always been smooth and prosperous.
Today, the town has changed dramatically, but the story of Zhao Decai and the legend of the mysterious woman in white are still passed down by word of mouth. Not only have they become cultural treasures of the town, but they have also inspired generations of people to pursue true wealth and peace of mind.
In this mysterious town, everyone knows one thing: respect and kindness are the only way to happiness. And the story of the woman in white and Zhao Decai will always be the light in their hearts, guiding them to a better future.
However, the story doesn't end there. In the kindness and respect that has been passed down from generation to generation of the Zhao family, new mysterious events are quietly brewing.
It was a sunny spring afternoon, and the younger generation of the Zhao family was playing in the courtyard. One of the children stumbles upon the entrance to a secret room hidden under a flower bed. Curious, the children opened the door of the secret room, and a smell of old came to their faces.
The chamber is simply furnished, with only an old table and a chair. On the table was a yellowed book, and on the cover was the words "Zhao's Secret Record" written in ancient seals.
The children brought the books back to the family elders. After reading it, the elders were surprised to find that what was recorded in this book was the secret past between the Zhao family and the woman in white, as well as the admonitions and prophecies left by the ancestors of the Zhao family.
The book reads: "Our descendants need to remember to respect all things in the world and make good connections. If the woman in white reappears, be sure to treat each other with sincerity and seek common well-being. ”
Just when the Zhao family was amazed, the figure of the woman in white appeared in the mansion again. She smiled and said to the Zhao family: "Your good deeds touched heaven and earth, and I am here to help you today." ”
After speaking, she handed the patriarch a simple jade pendant and told them that this was a treasure left by the ancestors of the Zhao family, which could ensure the prosperity of the family for generations.
The Zhao family was grateful, worshipped the woman in white as the guardian saint of the family, and passed on the jade pendant as the treasure of the town.
Since then, the Zhao family's business has grown bigger and bigger, and the family has become more and more prosperous. The legend of the woman in white has become an eternal tale in the town, inspiring people to pursue true wealth and inner peace.
This mysterious and beautiful story has been passed down from generation to generation and has become a valuable asset shared by the Zhao family and the residents of the town. On the road to happiness and success, they always keep in mind the teachings of the woman in white: respect and kindness are the only way to beauty.
Mysterious visitor
With the passage of time, the Zhao family has become a famous local family, but they have never forgotten the history of the family and the legend of the woman in white. On a certain day every year, the Zhao family holds a grand sacrificial ceremony to thank the mysterious woman in white for protecting the family.
In the town, the story of the woman in white has also become more and more divine, and some people have even begun to regard her as the patron saint of the place, and a small temple has been built for her, enshrined in her idol, and prayed for her blessing.
However, the calm days did not last long. One day, a dusty stranger suddenly appeared in front of the gate of the Zhao family. He was dressed in green clothes, holding an antique sword, and there was a trace of indescribable sorrow on his face.
"In Xia Liuyun, I came from afar, hoping to meet the owner of your mansion. The man in Tsing Yi bowed to the doorman.
The doorman looked at this stranger with an extraordinary bearing, and although he had doubts in his heart, he still politely invited him to enter the house and wait.
Soon, the current head of the Zhao family, Zhao Mingxuan, Zhao Decai's grandson, personally came out to greet him. The first time he saw Liu Yun, he felt that this person was not simple.
"I don't know what Brother Liu is doing when he comes from afar?" Zhao Mingxuan asked.
Liu Yun glanced at Zhao Mingxuan deeply, and slowly spoke: "I heard that there is a legend about the woman in white in your mansion, I wonder if the head of the Zhao family can tell me in detail?"
Zhao Mingxuan was slightly stunned, he didn't expect this stranger to be interested in this matter. But he still told Liu Yun about the origin of the family and the woman in white.
After listening to Zhao Mingxuan's narration, Liu Yun fell into deep thought. After a long time, he raised his head, and a determined light flashed in his eyes: "Zhao family master, I can't hide it, I came here this time to find the whereabouts of the woman in white. ”
Zhao Mingxuan was taken aback: "Why is Brother Liu looking for her? ”
Liu Yun shook his head: "I know that she is no longer alive, but I have a special ability to communicate with the souls of the dead. I hope to find her and learn something about the past. ”
Although Zhao Mingxuan felt that this matter was a little unbelievable, he couldn't help but believe a little in his heart when he saw Liu Yun's determined eyes. He thought about it and decided to help Liu Yun.
It was night, and the moonlight was sprinkled like water on the Zhao family's house. Zhao Mingxuan took Liu Yun to the front of the family ancestral hall.
"This is where our family worships the woman in white, and maybe you can find her here. Zhao Mingxuan pointed to the statue of a woman in white in the ancestral hall and said.
Liu Yun looked at the idol, bowed deeply, then sat down cross-legged and began to meditate with his eyes closed.
I don't know how long it took, Liu Yun suddenly opened his eyes. There was a look of surprise on his face: "I sensed her!
Zhao Mingxuan also showed a surprised expression. He followed Liu Yun out of the ancestral hall and into the back garden.
In the moonlight, they saw an ethereal figure dressed in white. That's the legendary woman in white!
Liu Yun stepped forward and talked to the woman in white. Their conversation was very low, and Zhao Mingxuan couldn't hear the details clearly, but he could see a relieved smile on Liu Yun's face.
After a long time, Liu Yun returned to Zhao Mingxuan's side: "Thank you, Master Zhao, I have found the answer I wanted." ”
Zhao Mingxuan asked curiously, "What did you talk about?"
Liu Yun smiled slightly: "This is the secret between me and her." What I can tell you, though, is that she has been laid to rest and will no longer wander around this mansion. ”
After speaking, Liu Yun said goodbye to Zhao Mingxuan and disappeared into the night.
Zhao Mingxuan stood in the moonlight, looking at Liu Yun's distant back, his heart was full of emotion. He knew that this mysterious man in Tsing Yi had brought a happy ending to his family.
Since then, the woman in white has never appeared in the courtyard of the Zhao family's house. But her legend has remained in people's hearts forever.
And Liu Yun's story has become another legend in the town. Some say he is a master of the Tao, others say he is a mysterious swordsman. But in any case, his name is closely linked to the legend of the woman in white.
End
As the years passed, the Zhao family was still prosperous. And the legend of the woman in white and the story of Liu Yun have also been passed down from generation to generation.
Whenever night falls and the moonlight shines on the courtyard of the Zhao family's house, people seem to be able to see the ethereal figure in white wandering in the courtyard. But there was no longer a sense of grief on her face, but a faint smile, as if blessing this ancient family and this peaceful town.
