Folktales: Brother-in-law and sister-in-law
In a distant ancient village, surrounded by mountains and mist. The inhabitants of the village live a simple and peaceful life, with various mysterious legends and stories passed down from generation to generation. Among them, there is a story about a brother-in-law and sister-in-law, which has been passed down by word of mouth among the villagers and has become an eternal story.
The protagonist of the story is a young scholar named Li Xuan, who is handsome and talented, and is the dream lover of the young women in the village. However, Li Xuan already had a place in his heart, and he fell in love with a beautiful and intelligent woman named Wan'er from a neighboring village. The two fell in love and soon got married and lived a happy life.
Wan'er's younger sister, named Qing'er, is a lively and lovely little girl, she is innocent, full of curiosity and admiration for her brother-in-law Li Xuan. Li Xuan also regards Qing'er as a sister, and often takes her to read and play together, and the relationship between the two is very harmonious.
However, happy days are always short-lived. A sudden flash flood washed Wan'er away, and Li Xuan was grief-stricken, immersed in the pain of losing his beloved wife all day long. Qing'er was very worried when she saw her brother-in-law so depressed, and she decided to use her own strength to help her brother-in-law get out of the shadows.
So, Qing'er began to accompany Li Xuan, infecting him with her optimism and strength. She took Li Xuan to the mountains to pick herbs to treat the villagers' diseases, and she accompanied Li Xuan to tell stories at the entrance of the village to bring joy to the children. Gradually, Li Xuan's mood improved, and he began to pick himself up again and face the challenges of life.
However, as time goes on, Haru finds that her feelings for her brother-in-law have changed subtly. She no longer just regarded Li Xuan as a family member who was like a brother and sister, but began to have deep feelings for him. She knew that it was wrong for her to do so, but her feelings were like a flood beast and she couldn't control it.
Li Xuan also noticed Qing'er's changes, and he was very conflicted in his heart. He is grateful for Qing'er's help and companionship to him, but he is also afraid that his feelings will hurt her. He tried to keep his distance, but Qing'er sank deeper and deeper, unable to extricate herself.
One day, a mysterious Taoist priest came to the village, and he saw the entanglement between Li Xuan and Qing'er, so he decided to help. The Taoist priest told Li Xuan that in order to solve this puzzle, he must go to the sacred mountain behind the village to find the legendary divine pearl. This divine pearl has magical powers, and can resolve the grievances and hatreds in the world.
In order to save Qing'er, Li Xuan resolutely decided to go to Shenshan to find the divine pearl. After a lot of hardships, he finally came to the top of Mount Kinabalu. There, he met a beautiful goddess who told him that in order to obtain the orb, he had to endure a triple test.
The first test is courage, and Li Xuan needs to spend three nights alone in a dark cave, facing the fear of the unknown. The second test is wisdom, and he needs to solve a complex puzzle in order to find his way to the place where the orb is. The third test is love, and he needs to clarify his feelings for Qing'er and make a choice under the witness of Shenzhu.
Li Xuan resolutely accepted the test, and with his courage and wisdom, he successfully passed the first two tests. However, when faced with the third test, he fell into a deep contradiction. He knew that his feelings for Qing'er had surpassed the love of brother and sister, but he also knew that this relationship was not tolerated by the world.
Just when Li Xuan was hesitating, Qing'er suddenly appeared in front of him. She told Li Xuan that she was willing to give up this relationship for the sake of his happiness, and she hoped that he could find the happiness that truly belonged to him. Hearing Qing'er's words, Li Xuan's heart swelled with endless guilt and gratitude.
In the end, under the witness of Shenzhu, Li Xuan made a choice. He chose to treat Qing'er as his most precious sister and spent his life guarding her happiness. And Qing'er also let go of the obsession in her heart and began to find her own love and happiness.
Since then, the relationship between Li Xuan and Qing'er has become deeper and purer. Together, they guarded the peace and happiness of the village, and became heroes and role models in the hearts of the villagers. And their story has been passed down from generation to generation by the villagers, and has become an eternal story.
In this story, we see the complexity of human nature and the entanglement of emotions. The emotion between the brother-in-law and the sister-in-law has both the warmth of family affection and the impulse of love. However, when faced with a choice, they are both able to let go of their obsessions for the sake of each other's happiness, and this selfless love and sacrifice are the core values that this story wants to convey.
At the same time, the story is full of mystery and fantasy. The legend of the sacred mountain, the power of the divine bead, and the test of the goddess all add a strong mythological color to the story. The difficulties and challenges that Li Xuan and Qing'er experienced in the process of searching for the Divine Pearl also showed their courage and wisdom, making the story even more fascinating.
Time flies, spring goes to autumn, and Li Xuan and Qing'er's lives seem to have opened a new chapter. Although the two did not come together, they had a deeper family and friendship. Together, they helped the village elders build houses, taught the children to read and write, and guarded this peaceful and beautiful village together.
The atmosphere in the village became more and more harmonious, and Li Xuan's reputation gradually spread. His talent and kindness attracted beautiful women from afar, and soon after, he married a gentle and virtuous woman and rebuilt a happy family. And Qing'er also found her true love among the young people in the village, and she married a hard-working and kind farmer and lived a plain and happy life.
However, fate always seems to be full of variables. Just when Li Xuan and Qing'er thought that their lives had settled down, a sudden plague swept through the entire village. The villagers fell ill one after another and were dying. Li Xuan and Qing'er were anxious, they knew that only by finding an antidote to the plague could they save the lives of the villagers.
So, Li Xuan and Qing'er once again embarked on a journey to find an antidote. They crossed the mountains and went through hardships, and finally found a miracle doctor who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests. The divine doctor told them that the antidote required an extremely rare herb to be made, and that this herb only grows in the depths of the sacred mountain.
In the face of many difficulties, Li Xuan and Qing'er did not flinch. Together, they climbed Mount Kinabalu in search of the rare herb. In the depths of Mount Kinabalu, they encountered ferocious beasts and treacherous terrain, but they all overcame the difficulties one by one with firm faith and mutual support.
Finally, at the highest peak of Mount Kinabalu, they found the rare herb. However, at the moment of picking the herbs, Mount Kinabalu suddenly shook, and a powerful energy was released from the herbs. Li Xuan and Qing'er were swept into a mysterious space by this energy.
In this space, they met the goddess who had given them trials. The goddess told them that the herb was actually incarnated by the guardian deity of the sacred mountain, and that it possessed great vitality and healing powers. The goddess was moved by Li Xuan and Qing'er's bravery and kindness, and decided to give them divine powers so that they could save the entire village with this herb.
After returning to reality, Li Xuan and Qing'er used herbs to make an antidote and successfully cured the villagers of the plague. Their heroic deeds spread throughout the region and became known as heroes. And their friendship and affection have also been sublimated in this ordeal and become more indestructible.
Since then, Li Xuan and Qing'er have guarded this village together, and they have used their wisdom and strength to bring endless happiness and tranquility to the villagers. Their story has also been passed down from generation to generation and has become an eternal story.
Thanks to the efforts of Li Xuan and Qing'er, the village once again regained its former tranquility and harmony. Their heroic deeds and selfless spirit have made the villagers admire. However, they are not complacent, but more humble to serve the villagers, with practical actions to interpret the true meaning of family and friendship.
One day, the sky over the village suddenly became cloudy, and lightning and thunder roared. An unprecedented storm is coming. The villagers panicked and took refuge in their homes. Li Xuan and Qing'er stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the rolling dark clouds, their hearts full of worry.
They knew that this storm was unlike any other, and that it contained a powerful and mysterious power. If left unchecked, the village will be devastated. So, the two decided to join forces to fight the storm and protect the peace of the village.
They climbed the sacred mountain and prayed to the goddess for help. The goddess told them that the storm was caused by an evil dragon that wanted to take over Mount Kinabalu and take control of the entire region. To calm the storm, the dragon must be defeated.
Li Xuan and Qing'er didn't back down, they accepted the challenge. Under the guidance of the goddess, they found the dragon's lair. A thrilling battle ensued.
The dragon was ferocious, spewing fire and mist, trying to devour the two of them. However, with their wisdom and courage, Li Xuan and Qing'er dodged the dragon's attacks again and again, and gradually found its weakness. Eventually, after a fierce battle, they managed to defeat the dragon and quell the storm.
Tranquility returned to the village, and the villagers came out of their homes to cheer and celebrate. They were grateful to Li Xuan and Qing'er for their heroic actions and regarded them as the patron saints of the village. And Li Xuan and Qing'er modestly said that they just did what they were supposed to do.
Since then, the fame of Li Xuan and Qing'er has spread throughout the region. Their story was passed down by word of mouth and became a legend. And their friendship and family affection have also been further sublimated in this experience, and have become the most valuable treasure in their lives.
As the years passed, Li Xuan and Qing'er both entered their old age. Their hair was gray, but their eyes were still firm and bright. They still guard the village, using their wisdom and experience to help the villagers.
Under their leadership, the village became more and more prosperous, and the life of the villagers became happier and happier. And the story of Li Xuan and Qing'er has also become a good story in the village from generation to generation.
When Li Xuan and Qing'er passed away one after another, the entire village was immersed in grief. They have given so much for the village that the villagers cannot forget their kindness. In their honor, the people of the village jointly built a temple dedicated to the tablets of Li Xuan and Qing'er.
After the temple was built, people in the village came to worship and pray that Li Xuan and Qing'er could bless the village with eternal peace and happiness. And their stories, along with the establishment of the temple, have been passed down forever.
