The man is skinny after marriage, and the mother-in-law is getting richer and plump, beggar: Prepare for the future
In the ancient East, on the top of Maoshan Mountain, the clouds and mist are mysterious and unpredictable. In the villages at the foot of the mountain, there are many strange legends, among which the most talked about is the story of Li Erzhu in Lijia Village.
Li Erzhu is an honest and responsible young man, hardworking and kind, and he is also quite handsome. His marriage has always been the focus of attention in the village, until one day, he married Xiu'er from the neighboring village. Xiu'er is beautiful and virtuous, gentle and considerate, and the two should have lived a harmonious and beautiful life after marriage, however, unexpected things happened one after another.
Since the two got married, Li Erzhu's body has become thinner and thinner, as if he has been sucked dry by something. The originally strong man is now skinny, pale, and depressed all day. And his mother-in-law, on the contrary, her originally thin body gradually became plump, and her face was full of redness, as if she was ten years younger.
There was a lot of discussion in the village, and they all said that the Li family was afraid that they had run into some evil. Li Erzhu's family was also anxious and sought medical advice everywhere, but they could not find the reason.
On this day, a ragged beggar came to the entrance of the village, holding a worn dog-beating stick and carrying a dirty cloth bag on his back. He walked to the door of Li's house and happened to bump into Li Erzhu, who was going out to breathe. The beggar glanced at Li Erzhu a few times, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, and then he shook his head and sighed: "Alas, young man, your Yin Tang is black, and your life is shrouded, I'm afraid time is running out." ”
As soon as Li Erzhu heard this, a sense of foreboding suddenly surged in his heart, and he barely squeezed out a smile and asked, "Uncle, what do you mean by this? Although I am not in good health, I am not going to do this, right?"
The beggar sighed and said, "The breath on your body has been sucked by some kind of evil thing, if you don't crack it in time, I'm afraid that your life will not be saved." I look at your mother-in-law, but she is getting richer and richer, have you ever thought about the reason for this?"
When Li Erzhu heard this, he was shocked, he thought that Xiu'er had become a little strange recently, often in a trance, and sometimes whispered to himself, as if he was fascinated by something. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, could it be that all this was really related to Xiu'er?
The beggar seemed to see his doubts, and said slowly: "You go home and secretly observe your mother-in-law's every move, and maybe you can find some clues." But remember to be careful not to be noticed by the evil thing. ”
After speaking, the beggar turned around and left, leaving Li Erzhu standing alone, his heart turned over and overturned, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
That night, Li Erzhu followed the beggar's instructions and secretly observed his mother-in-law's every move. He found that in the dead of night, his mother-in-law would mysteriously enter Xiu'er's room, close the doors and windows, and come out for a long time. Moreover, every time she comes out, her face will be a little more ruddy.
Li Erzhu became more and more puzzled in his heart, and he decided to find out the truth of all this. So, on a dark and windy night, he quietly followed his mother-in-law and entered Xiu'er's room.
There was a strange aroma in the room, and Li Erzhu only felt dizzy in his head, as if he was being pulled by something, and involuntarily walked to the side of the bed. He saw his mother-in-law sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a sharp dagger in her hand, facing Xiu'er's chest.
Li Erzhu exclaimed in surprise and wanted to rush forward to stop it, but found that his body seemed to be frozen and couldn't move. He could only watch as his mother-in-law stabbed the dagger into Xiu'er's chest, and the blood instantly stained the sheets.
At this moment, a golden light shot out from Xiu'er's chest and soared into the sky. In the golden light, a hideous ghost was revealed, and it roared and rushed towards his mother-in-law, entangling her tightly. Li Erzhu finally regained his ability to move, he took a few steps back in horror, looking at the scene in front of him, his heart was full of fear and despair.
The goblin and the mother-in-law were entangled, and the room resounded with a terrible scream. Li Erzhu took the opportunity to escape from the room, stumbled to the entrance of the village, and found the beggar.
"Uncle, uncle!" Li Erzhu shouted breathlessly, "Save my wife and mother-in-law!"
The beggar looked at him, a trace of compassion flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "All this is a cycle of cause and effect, and retribution is unpleasant. In order to live forever, your mother-in-law made a pact with a ghost to feed on your wife's spirit. Now, the goblin has absorbed all of your wife's essence and is about to burst out. Go back and prepare for the future. ”
When Li Erzhu heard this, he stood in place as if he had been struck by lightning, and his heart was at a loss. He couldn't believe that he would suffer such a fate.
When I returned home, I saw that Xiu'er had died of anger, and her mother-in-law was also dying. Li Erzhu hugged Xiu'er's corpse, tears welling up. His heart was full of remorse and self-blame, if he could have discovered his mother-in-law's abnormality earlier, he might be able to save Xiu'er's life.
Mother-in-law Before her mother-in-law was dying, a trace of remorse flashed in her eyes, she spoke with difficulty, her voice was weak and trembling: "Erzhu, I was wrong, I shouldn't be greedy for immortality, I hurt Xiu'er, and I hurt you." After I die, I am willing to atone for my sins with my soul and protect your Lijia Village. With that, she closed her eyes and never woke up.
Li Erzhu had mixed feelings in his heart, he looked at his mother-in-law's body, and there was both anger and sadness in his heart. He knew that all this was caused by his mother-in-law's greed and ignorance, but he couldn't completely hate her, after all, she was also his own relative.
According to the customs of the village, he handled the funeral for Xiu'er and his mother-in-law. In the process, he deeply realized the impermanence and preciousness of life. He decided to start over, live well, and no longer let the shadow of the past cloud over his future.
However, just as he was about to regain his strength, the beggar appeared in front of him again. The beggar looked at him, a flash of appreciation in his eyes, and said, "It's good that you can learn from this and start over." However, your mother-in-law's spirit has not been dispersed, and she is still wandering the world, looking for an opportunity to atone for her sins. ”
When Li Erzhu heard this, he was shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "Uncle, what should I do to let her rest in peace?"
The beggar sighed and said, "You need to find the Taoist priest of Maoshan and surpass her soul with Taoism." At the same time, you have to learn to protect yourself from the goblin from doing it again. ”
After speaking, the beggar took out a worn-out book from the cloth bag, handed it to Li Erzhu and said, "This is a Maoshan secret technique that I got in my early years, and you can take it to learn, maybe it can help you." ”
Li Erzhu took the book, and his heart was full of gratitude. He bowed deeply to the beggar and said, "Thank you for your advice, I will remember it." ”
The beggar nodded and turned to leave. Li Erzhu watched his back disappear into the distance, and a firm belief surged in his heart. He knows that there is still a long way to go, but he is ready to face all difficulties and challenges.
In the following days, Li Erzhu began to devote himself to learning the secret art of Maoshan, hoping to use the power of Taoism to protect the peace of himself and the village. At the same time, he also searched for the Taoist priest of Maoshan everywhere, hoping to surpass his mother-in-law's soul and let her rest in peace.
After some twists and turns, Li Erzhu finally found a highly respected Maoshan Taoist priest. After learning the ins and outs of the matter, the Taoist priest decided to help. He led Li Erzhu to his mother-in-law's grave and transcended her soul with Taoism. At that moment, Li Erzhu seemed to see a hint of relief and a serene smile on his mother-in-law's face.
Since then, nothing strange has happened in Lijia Village. Li Erzhu also gradually came out of the shadows and started his life again. He often thinks of Xiu'er and his mother-in-law, but the grief in his heart has gradually turned into a deep nostalgia and gratitude.
After the transcendence ceremony of the Maoshan Taoist priest, Lijia Village returned to its former tranquility. Although Li Erzhu still has a longing for Xiu'er in his heart, he has learned how to turn this affection into the motivation of life. He is hardworking and hardworking, not only keeping his own fields in order, but also helping the elderly and children in the village. His kindness and tenacity earned him the respect and affection of the villagers.
One day, when Li Erzhu was working in the fields, he suddenly felt dizzy, as if something was pulling at his soul. He knew that something was wrong, so he immediately sat down cross-legged and breathed and condensed according to the method in Maoshan Secret Technique. After some struggle, he finally stabilized his mind and forced the evil force back.
Afterwards, Li Erzhu realized that the ghost had not completely dissipated, and it was still secretly watching, looking for an opportunity to make trouble. He didn't dare to take it lightly, and decided to work harder to cultivate the secret art of Maoshan and improve his strength.
In the process of cultivation, Li Erzhu gradually comprehended the essence of Taoism. He learned how to use the power of nature to drive away evil spirits and protect the villagers. His cultivation progressed day by day, and his reputation gradually spread throughout the surrounding villages.
One night, the ghost finally couldn't hold it back, turned into a gust of black wind, and attacked Lijia Village. Li Erzhu had already prepared, he stood at the entrance of the village, holding a peachwood sword, silently reciting a mantra, ready to fight.
The ghostly black wind whistled and kicked up a puff of dust. Li Erzhu was not afraid, he swung his peachwood sword and slashed towards the black wind. Suddenly, the golden light overflowed, and the sword qi was vertical and horizontal. After a fierce battle, Li Erzhu finally forced the ghost back.
Seeing that they could not win, the ghost turned into a cloud of black smoke and tried to escape. Li Erzhu would not let it go, he chased after him and slashed at the black smoke with a sword. Hearing only a scream, the ghost was hit by the sword qi, turning into a puff of green smoke and dissipating into the air.
Li Erzhu breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that he had finally avenged Xiu'er and his mother-in-law, and also removed a big disaster for the village. He turned back to the village and told the villagers the good news. The villagers cheered and thanked him for his bravery.
Since then, Lijia Village has never been harassed by evil spirits. Li Erzhu also continued to practice the secret art of Maoshan and guarded the peace of the party. His story spread through the village and became a legend.
And Li Erzhu also grew into a real man in this experience. He learned to face life's setbacks and difficulties, and learned to hold on to his beliefs and courage. He knows that no matter what challenges lie ahead, he will move forward to protect the well-being of himself and his family.
As the years go by, Li Erzhu is getting old, but his legendary story is still being sung by people. His spirit also inspired the villagers who came after him, so that they could move forward bravely in the face of difficulties and protect the peace and happiness of their homeland.
