When the man came home, he saw his wife gnawing on bones in the middle of the night, and the monk: Your wife is an animal
The moonlight shines on the quiet village, and the night breeze blows, bringing a hint of coolness. In a corner of the village, in a quaint courtyard, the lights are dim and the shadows are abundant. The man Li Xuan dragged his tired body, returned from the distant market, and pushed open the door of the house with great anticipation, only to see a scene that made him creepy.
His wife, Xiaolan, was sitting at the table, her head bowed, holding a long bone in her hand, and she was gnawing hard. When she heard the door knock, she looked up, her eyes flashing with a strange light, and the corners of her mouth still had undried blood. Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and an inexplicable fear surged in his heart.
"Xiaolan, you ...... What are you doing here?" Li Xuan's voice trembled, trying to hide the panic in his heart.
Xiaolan didn't answer, just continued to bow her head and gnaw on the bones, as if she hadn't heard his words. Li Xuan took a closer look, and the bone was actually a human bone, and there was still a trace of flesh and blood left on it, and a fishy smell came to his nose, which was disgusting.
Li Xuan was horrified in his heart, he couldn't believe his eyes. How could his wife, Xiaolan, who was usually gentle and virtuous, become like this? Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but he couldn't explain the strange scene in front of him.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Li Xuan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly walked over to open the door. I saw a monk in a robe standing outside the door, looking at him with a solemn face.
"Donor, the poor monk passed by here and noticed a vision in your home, and came to check it out. The monk clasped his hands together and said slowly.
Li Xuan's heart moved, and he hurriedly invited the monk into the house and told him everything he had just seen. After hearing this, the monk frowned, and after a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: "Donor, your wife...... I'm afraid I'm not human anymore. ”
When Li Xuan heard this, he couldn't believe his ears if he was struck by lightning. However, the monk's next words made him have to believe it.
"The aura emanating from her body is very different from that of ordinary people, and the bones she eats are human bones. The poor monk guessed that she might be a cultivated beast that cultivated with the help of her human body. The monk said in a deep voice.
Li Xuan was terrified when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that his wife, who got along day and night, would be such a monster. He has both fear and unwillingness in his heart, he wants to know the truth, and he wants to find a way to save Xiaolan.
"Master, please save Xiaolan! Although she has become like this, I believe that her nature is still kind. Li Xuan pleaded.
The monk sighed and said, "Although the poor monk has some Taoism, I can't deal with such monsters. However, I can take you to find a superior who may have a way to save your wife. ”
Li Xuan was grateful, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. The monk lifted him up, and the two left the village overnight and embarked on a journey to find the master.
Along the way, Li Xuan had mixed feelings in his heart. He recalled the bits and pieces of his acquaintance and love with Xiaolan, and there was both sweetness and bitterness in his heart. He didn't understand why fate would play such a trick on people and let him suffer such a change.
However, he also knows that now is not the time to wallow in grief. He must cheer up, find the master, and rescue Xiaolan. Only then will they be able to live a peaceful life again.
After several days of traveling, they finally came to a legendary Taoist temple. There is a master here named Qingfeng Dao Chief, who is said to be proficient in Maoshan spells and can subdue demons and eliminate demons.
Li Xuan and the monk came to the Taoist temple, only to see that the Taoist temple was simple and solemn, and the fairy spirit was full of immortal energy. They knocked at the door, and soon a boy came out to greet them.
"What do you have to do, two donors?" asked Xiao Daotong.
Li Xuan told Xiao Daotong everything that had happened. After hearing this, Xiao Daotong showed a look of surprise on his face, and hurriedly went in to report. A moment later, the Breeze Leader himself came out to greet them.
Qingfeng Dao is about fifty years old, and his hair is white, but his eyes are like torches, and his spirit is bright. After listening to Li Xuan's narration, he nodded slightly and said, "This kind of monster is indeed not trivial, but Poor Dao will definitely try his best to help." ”
Afterwards, Qingfeng Dao Chang took Li Xuan and the monk to a secret room. He took out a bronze mirror and cast the spell with words. In the bronze mirror, Xiaolan's figure gradually emerged, she was sitting cross-legged in a dimly lit room, and her body exuded a faint light.
"Sure enough, it's a beast that has cultivated to perfection!" "Qingfeng Dao Leader sneered, "She uses her human body to cultivate and absorb people's essence to improve her cultivation." ”
Li Xuan was shocked when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that Xiaolan would do such a thing. He was angry and sad, but he knew that now was not the time to vent.
"Dao Chief, please save Xiaolan!" Li Xuan pleaded again.
Qingfeng Dao Chang was silent for a moment and said, "It's not easy to save her. I need to prepare some magic weapons and charms, and I need to find her elixir. Only by destroying the demon pill can she completely remove her demonic nature. ”
After Li Xuan heard this, a surge of hope surged in his heart. He believed that with the help of Qingfeng Dao Chief, they would definitely find a way to save Xiaolan.
In the days that followed, Daoist Qingfeng began to retreat to refine the magic weapon, while Li Xuan and the monk waited in the Taoist temple. Their hearts were full of anxiety and expectation, hoping that Qingfeng Dao Chang would be able to get out of the customs as soon as possible, but also worried that Xiaolan's condition would deteriorate.
Finally, one early morning, the head of the Qingfeng Dao walked out of the secret room. He held a sword that shimmered with cold light in his hand, and a determined look appeared on his face.
"The time has come, let's go. Qingfeng Dao said.
Li Xuan and the monk immediately got up and followed the Qingfeng Dao Leader on a journey to find the Little Lan Demon Pill. They walked through the dense forest, crossed the dangerous peak, and finally came to the abandoned temple where Xiaolan was hiding.
The temple was dark and gloomy, and there was an eerie aura in the air. Li Xuan's heart rose to his throat, and he clutched the talisman handed to him by the Qingfeng Dao Chief, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
Qingfeng Dao Leader walked in front with a solemn expression, his eyes scanning around the temple, as if looking for something. Suddenly, he stopped and his eyes fell on a dilapidated Buddha statue.
"This is it. Qingfeng Dao said in a low voice.
Li Xuan and the monk followed his gaze, only to see that there was a dark grid on the base of the Buddha statue, and there seemed to be something hidden inside. The Breeze Leader carefully opened the dark grid, and a bead of faint light appeared in front of them.
"This is Xiaolan's demon pill!" the monk exclaimed.
Qingfeng Dao Leader nodded, he held the sword in his hand, ready to destroy this demon pill. However, at this moment, Xiaolan's figure suddenly appeared in front of them. Her eyes flashed with anger, and her body exuded a powerful demonic aura.
"How dare you come and sabotage my cultivation!" Xiao Lan roared angrily.
Qingfeng Dao Elder was unmoved, he said coldly: "You cultivate demon methods and kill innocents, today is your end." ”
As he spoke, he swung his sword and slashed towards Xiaolan. Xiaolan's body moved, dodging the blow, but she also showed her flaws. Qingfeng Dao Chang took the opportunity to activate the spell, and a golden light trapped Xiaolan.
Xiaolan let out a terrible scream, and she struggled to break free from the golden light. However, the Breeze Leader had already arrived in front of her, and the sword in his hand stabbed her in the chest without mercy.
"No!" Li Xuan exclaimed, he wanted to rush forward to stop him, but was stopped by the monk.
"It's her destiny, and you can't change it. The monk said in a deep voice.
Li Xuan could only watch as Qingfeng Dao Chief's sword pierced into Xiaolan's chest, and a bead that exuded a faint light flew out of her body, it was the demon pill. Qingfeng Dao Chang smashed it with a sword, and Xiaolan's body also collapsed to the ground.
After a while, Xiaolan's body gradually changed, she changed back to her original appearance, and that familiar and gentle face appeared in front of Li Xuan's eyes again. It's just that there is no brilliance and no life in her eyes.
Li Xuan knelt beside Xiaolan and couldn't cry. He couldn't accept this fact, and he couldn't accept that his beloved wife would end up like this.
Qingfeng Dao Leader and the monk stood silently aside, and their hearts were also full of emotion. They know that this is the path that Xiaolan has chosen by herself, and it is also the fate she must face.
In the end, Li Xuan brought Xiaolan's body back to her hometown and buried it in her favorite sea of flowers. His heart was full of grief and longing, but he also knew that life would go on. He will continue to move forward with the memory of Xiaolan and look for his own future.
And Xiaolan's story has also become a legend in the village through the ages, reminding people to be wary of the monsters around them and cherish the happiness in front of them. And Xiaolan's story has become a legend, but the pain in Li Xuan's heart has not been alleviated in the slightest. In the dead of night, he would always come to Xiaolan's grave alone, silently telling the thoughts and guilt in his heart.
As the days passed, Li Xuan's life gradually returned to calm. He resumed his work, trying to keep himself busy in order to alleviate the pain in his heart. However, every time he saw the scenes he had spent with Xiaolan, the wound in his heart would be torn again.
One day, Li Xuan met a Taoist priest who traveled all over the world in the market. This Taoist priest looks ordinary, but his eyes reveal an unfathomable wisdom. He took the initiative to talk to Li Xuan and asked about Xiaolan.
Li Xuan's heart moved, and he told the Taoist priest everything about Xiaolan. After hearing this, the Taoist priest was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Everything in the world has cause and effect, although Xiaolan has passed away, her soul may not have completely dissipated. ”
When Li Xuan heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. He asked eagerly, "Dao Chief, do you mean that Xiaolan is still likely to come back?"
The Taoist priest shook his head and said, "Her demonic nature has been removed, and she can't return to the world." But I can teach you a way to maybe let you meet her in your dreams. ”
Li Xuan nodded excitedly, willing to learn this method. The Taoist priest taught him a spell called "Soul Dream Connection", which required Li Xuan to cast the spell at a specific time and place in a specific way, so that it was possible to meet Xiaolan in a dream.
Li Xuan followed the instructions of the Taoist priest and began to practice this spell every day. Finally, on a dark and windy night, he managed to meet Xiaolan in his dream.
Xiaolan in the dream was still as beautiful as ever, she walked towards Li Xuan with a smile, her eyes were full of tenderness and love. Li Xuan hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to integrate her into his own blood and bones.
"轩哥,我好想你。 "小兰轻声说道。
"Xiaolan, I miss you so much. Li Xuan choked up in response.
They had a good time in their dreams, as if they had returned to the days when they once loved each other. However, when the dream was about to end, Xiaolan suddenly became serious.
"Brother Xuan, you have to live a good life, don't be immersed in pain all the time because of me. Xiaolan said, "I have found my own home, and you should also find your happiness." ”
Li Xuan nodded silently, he knew that what Xiaolan said was right. He couldn't let Xiaolan worry about him in another world.
After the dream ended, Li Xuan woke up to find himself in tears. But the pain in his heart was much lessened. He knew that Lan's soul had been laid to rest, and he was going to start his life again.
Since then, Li Xuan has become stronger and more optimistic. He worked hard and treated others well, and his life gradually became more fulfilling and beautiful. And Xiaolan's shadow will always remain in his heart and become the best memory of his life.
