70 old men married 16 girls, but they were hung on the beams of the house at night in the cave room
In ancient times, there was a place called Liuxi Village, and there was an old man surnamed Zhang in the village, who was seventy years old, but his body was still strong and his spirit was strong. Zhang Laohan has been industrious and thrifty all his life, although his family is not wealthy, he has also accumulated a little silver taels. However, he had no children under his knees, his wife died at an early age, and he lived a lonely life for many years.
This year, a sixteen-year-old girl named Xiaocui suddenly came to the village. She is beautiful and refined, and her eyes seem to hide bottomless secrets. Xiaocui was alone, with no relatives or friends, but she chose to rent a dilapidated hut at the foot of Liuxi Village and lived.
When Zhang Laohan first saw Xiaocui, he was attracted by her unique temperament. He thought to himself that although he was old, if he could marry such a girl, he would be able to have a companion in his old age, and he would not be too lonely. So, Zhang Laohan asked the matchmaker in the village to inquire about Xiaocui's wishes.
After Xiaocui heard about Zhang Laohan's proposal, she didn't show the slightest surprise or displeasure, but agreed lightly. When the matchmaker told Zhang Laohan the news, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth and immediately began to prepare for the wedding.
On the day of the wedding, Willow Creek Village was bustling. Zhang Laohan was wearing brand new clothes, and his face was full of happy smiles. Xiao Cui is wearing a red dress, like a blooming red rose, which is breathtakingly beautiful. However, on the night of the candles in the cave room, Zhang Laohan encountered a bizarre thing.
On the wedding night, Zhang Laohan and Xiaocui sat opposite each other on the edge of the bed, although the age difference between the two was huge, but they both looked a little shy at the moment. Just when Zhang Laohan plucked up his courage and was about to take Xiao Cui's hand, a sudden gust of wind blew, and the candles in the house were instantly extinguished. In the dark, Zhang Laohan only felt a strong force coming, and his body was actually hung up by an invisible force and hung straight on the beam.
Zhang Laohan was so frightened that he shouted Xiao Cui's name loudly, but Xiao Cui seemed to disappear and did not respond. He struggled desperately to break free from the force that bound him, but no matter how hard he tried, it was to no avail.
Just when Zhang Laohan was about to despair, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside the door. Then, the door was pushed open, and a bright light entered. Zhang Laohan fixed his eyes and saw that it was an old Taoist priest with white hair. The old Taoist priest held the dust in his hand, and his eyes flashed with wisdom.
The old Taoist priest walked up to Zhang Laohan and said softly: "Zhang Laohan, don't be afraid, I'll save you." As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and tapped it lightly on Zhang Laohan's forehead, and a warm current instantly poured into Zhang Laohan's body. Zhang Laohan only felt that his body was light, and he fell off the beam.
After landing on the ground, Zhang Laohan hurriedly thanked the old Taoist priest and asked him what was going on. The old Taoist priest sighed and said, "Do you know that this girl you married is not extraordinary? She is actually a fox demon who has been cultivating for many years. ”
Zhang Laohan was shocked when he heard this, and asked in a trembling voice: "Fox demon, then why does she want to harm me?"
The old Taoist priest shook his head and said, "She is not trying to harm you, but is saving you." Do you know that there is a treasure hidden in your house, which is coveted by evil things? This fox demon sensed the breath of the treasure and turned into a maiden to protect you. Tonight, the demonic thing wanted to take advantage of your wedding night to grab the treasure, but was discovered by the fox demon in time. In order to save you, she did not hesitate to reveal her original form and fight with demonic things. The reason why you were hung on the beam of the house is precisely because she wants to separate you from the demonic things and protect you. ”
After hearing this, Zhang Laohan suddenly realized, and his heart was full of gratitude to Xiaocui. He hurriedly asked, "Then what should I do now?"
The old Taoist priest pondered for a moment and said, "You can recuperate in peace, and tomorrow I will go with you to the fox demon's dwelling, thank her, and ask her about the whereabouts of the treasure." Remember, you must treat her well in the future, and you must not disappoint her. ”
Zhang Laohan nodded again and again, his heart full of expectation and gratitude. He knew that although he was old, fate had given him a rare opportunity to meet such an extraordinary young girl. And he was determined to treat her well no matter what, and spend the rest of his life with her.
In the early morning of the second day, the sun shone on Zhang Laohan's face through the window lattice, and he rubbed his sleepy eyes, his heart full of anticipation. He got dressed, washed up briefly, and then eagerly went to the old Taoist priest's residence. The old Taoist priest had been waiting for a long time, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and then set out on the road to Xiaocui's residence together.
Tsui's residence is located on the edge of the village, surrounded by a dense forest. The two walked through the woods to a dilapidated hut. Zhang Laohan looked at this hut, and an inexplicable sense of intimacy surged in his heart. He gently pushed the door open and stepped inside.
The interior of the house is very simple, but it exudes a warm atmosphere. Xiao Cui was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking down in thought. When she heard the door opening, she raised her head and saw Zhang Laohan and the old Taoist, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Zhang Laohan walked up to Xiaocui, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you girl for saving your life, Zhang is grateful." ”
Xiao Cui smiled faintly and said, "You don't have to thank me, I just did what I was supposed to do." ”
The old Taoist priest also stepped forward and arched his hand and said, "The girl is profound, and Zhang admires it." I wonder if the girl can tell me the whereabouts of the treasure?"
When Xiao Cui heard this, her face became solemn. She was silent for a moment before she said slowly, "That treasure is actually a thousand-year-old spirit bead, and it is the key to my cultivation. Recently, I sensed that its aura had become abnormal, and it seemed that something evil was secretly coveting. In order to protect it, I came to Willow Creek Village as a girl. ”
Old Man Zhang and the old Taoist priest were shocked when they heard this, they didn't expect that there was such a treasure hidden in their home. Zhang Laohan hurriedly asked, "Where is the spirit bead now?"
Xiao Cui nodded and took out a crystal clear bead from her arms. The bead emitted a faint light, as if it contained infinite power. Zhang Laohan took the beads, only to feel a warm current pouring into his heart, and the whole person was refreshed.
The old Taoist priest looked at the spirit bead, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. He said: "This spirit bead is really extraordinary, no wonder it attracts evil things. However, since it is the key to a girl's cultivation, we can't take it lightly. ”
Xiao Cui shook her head and said, "I have been cultivating for many years, and I no longer need to rely on spirit beads. Moreover, if this spirit bead stays in Zhang Laohan's house, I am afraid that it will cause more trouble. I am willing to give it to Zhang Laohan to repay him for saving him last night. ”
When Zhang Laohan heard this, he was moved to tears. He hurriedly excused himself and said, "The girl's life-saving grace is beyond repayment, how can she accept such a valuable gift again?"
Xiao Cui smiled slightly and said, "You can accept it, this is also the fate between me and you." In the future, you just need to take good care of it and don't let it fall into the wrong hands. ”
Seeing that Xiaocui was so resolute, Zhang Laohan had no choice but to accept the spirit bead. His heart was full of gratitude and respect, and said to Xiaocui: "Girl Gaoyi, Zhang remembers it." If there is a need for Zhang in the future, just open your mouth. ”
Xiao Cui nodded and said, "I am about to leave Liuxi Village and continue my cultivation path. You must be careful in the future and do not allow evil things to take advantage of them. ”
With that, she turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared into thin air. Zhang Laohan and the old Taoist priest looked at the direction in which she disappeared, and their hearts were full of respect and emotion.
Time flies, and Zhang Laohan's life has undergone earth-shaking changes because of the appearance of Xiaocui. He was no longer a lonely old man, but a well-respected elder in Willow Creek Village. He often told the villagers about his bizarre experience with Xiaocui and the magic of the thousand-year-old spirit bead. The villagers listened with relish, and were both surprised and envious of what happened to Zhang Laohan.
However, just when Zhang Laohan thought that life would always be so peaceful, a sudden disaster broke the tranquility of Liuxi Village.
It was a stormy night, thunder and lightning, and a howling wind. Zhang Laohan was sitting alone at home and suddenly felt a strong sense of unease. An inexplicable premonition surged in his heart, as if something was about to happen.
Just then, there was a sharp knock at the door. Zhang Laohan hurriedly got up to open the door, only to see a villager standing outside the door panting, his face full of horror.
"Old man Zhang, it's not good! A huge demon beast suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village, and it is attacking our village!" the villager said anxiously.
When Zhang Laohan heard this, his heart tightened. He knew that Liuxi Village was located in a remote area, and there had never been a record of demon beasts. Where did this sudden demon beast come from?
He didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately picked up the crutches beside him and said to the villagers, "Take me to see it!"
The two hurried to the entrance of the village, only to see a huge demon beast wreaking havoc. It exuded a strong demonic aura from its body, and a raging flame erupted from its mouth, burning the surrounding houses and trees beyond recognition. The villagers fled in terror, but they could not resist the ferocious attacks of the monsters.
Seeing this, Zhang Laohan felt a strong anger and courage in his heart. He remembered what Xiao Cui had said, and knew that this demon beast must have come for the spirit bead. He secretly made up his mind to protect the safety of Liuxi Village and Lingzhu no matter what.
He took a deep breath, raised his cane, and shouted, "Demon beast!
As he spoke, he stepped out and rushed towards the demon beast. His figure looked unusually determined and brave in the firelight, like a fearless warrior.
However, the power of the demon beast was far from what Zhang Laohan could imagine. It opened its bloody mouth and pounced on Old Man Zhang. Zhang Laohan tried his best to resist, but he was still hit by the demon beast and flew out.
Just as he was about to hit the ground, a green smoke suddenly appeared beside him. Immediately afterwards, Xiao Cui's figure gradually appeared, and she stood in front of Zhang Laohan, facing the demon beast.
"Dare to hurt my benefactor!" Xiao Cui shouted coldly.
Her body emitted powerful mana fluctuations, forcing the demon beast to retreat again and again. She stretched out her slender fingers, and with a slight wave, a golden light shot out from her fingertips, hitting the demon beast's forehead.
The demon beast let out a terrible howl, and its body instantly collapsed into a cloud of black smoke. Xiaocui turned around, picked up Zhang Laohan who fell to the ground, and asked with concern, "Zhang Laohan, are you okay?"
Zhang Laohan looked at Xiaocui, his eyes were full of gratitude and respect. He said in a trembling voice: "Thank you girl for saving me again! If it weren't for the girl's action, Liuxi Village would have suffered a great disaster." ”
Xiao Cui smiled slightly and said, "There is a fate between you and me, so naturally I can't stand idly by." However, the appearance of this demon beast was not accidental, it must have sensed the breath of the spirit bead. In the future, you should also take care of the spirit bead and do not let it cause trouble again. ”
Zhang Laohan nodded yes, and was more cautious about the custody of the spirit beads in his heart. He thanked Cui again for saving her life and asked her about her future plans.
Xiao Cui sighed and said, "Although I have been cultivating for many years, demons and evil are still rampant in the world. I plan to continue to travel all over the world, slay demons and protect the peace of the world. ”
After hearing this, Zhang Laohan felt both admiration and regret in his heart. He knew that Xiao Cui was a cultivator with noble feelings and strong strength, and her path was destined to be ordinary. He silently blessed Xiaocui, hoping that she could have a safe journey and realize her wish.
After Xiao Cui said goodbye to Zhang Laohan, she turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared into the night sky. Zhang Laohan looked at the direction she left, and his heart was full of gratitude and longing. He knew that although the fate between them had come to an end, Xiao Cui's kindness and bravery would always remain in his heart.
And the village of Willow Creek has become more united and stronger after this crisis. The villagers know that peace and tranquility are not easy to come by, and they cherish the friendship between each other even more and jointly protect this beautiful homeland.
So far, the story of Zhang Laohan marrying 16 girls has come to a successful end. Although it is full of bizarre plot twists and thrilling adventures, it ends with a happy ending where kindness and bravery triumph over evil, and kindness and friendship live forever. This story not only shows a superb level of writing and a suspenseful atmosphere, but also deeply portrays the personalities and characteristics of the characters in the story, becoming a good story that has been passed down through the ages.
