Long workers encounter strange things at night
The moonlight shines on the quiet country road, and the dappled shadows of the trees sway in the wind, as if hiding some unknown secret. There is a long-term worker in the old Li family in the village, named Ah Fu, who is honest and hardworking. Late that night, Ah Fu returned from working in the fields, exhausted, and his stomach was uncomfortable, so he wanted to find a place to relieve himself.
He walked through the courtyard to the corner of the backyard, and was about to undress, when suddenly a gust of wind blew, with a slight chill, and he shivered. Ah Fu looked up and saw that under the moonlight, the door of his wife's boudoir was slightly open, and a ray of ghostly light came out of the crack in the door, which looked particularly weird.
Ah Fu was shocked, this lady lives in a simple house on weekdays, rarely interacts with people, and at this time in the dead of night, her door is open, which is really strange. He wanted to turn away, but he was curious, so he quietly approached to find out.
He crept to the door, his ears pressed to the crack in the door, and heard a whisper from inside the room, faint and eerie, as if someone was whispering. Ah Fu became more and more curious, and was about to push the door in, when suddenly a strong force came from behind, pulling him into the house violently.
Ah Fu exclaimed, and when he looked back, it was the pale and beautiful face of his wife. There was a strange light in her eyes, a strange smile on the corner of her mouth, and she whispered, "Ah Fu, you are here." ”
Ah Fu was so frightened that he stammered and asked, "Husband, madam, what are you doing here?"
Madame didn't answer, but slowly stretched out her hand, grabbed Ah Fu's sleeve, and led him deeper into the room. Ah Fu only felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet, straight through his heart, and he couldn't help but follow his wife, his heart full of fear and doubt.
It was pitch black in the room, except for a faint glow from a ghost lamp in Madame's hand. She led Ah Fu through a long corridor to a secret room. The door of the secret room is carved with intricate patterns that exude an eerie atmosphere. Madame gently pushed the door open, and a cold wind blew in her face, mixed with a faint smell of blood.
The fear in Ah Fu's heart reached its peak, and he clenched his fists tightly, sweat running down his forehead. Madame didn't seem to care, she pulled Ah Fu into the secret room, only to see all kinds of strange utensils and charms placed in the room, and there was an indescribable strange atmosphere in the air.
"Ah Fu, do you know why I called you here?" finally spoke Madame, her voice low and cold.
Ah Fu shook his head and said in a trembling voice: "No, I don't know. ”
Madame sneered and said slowly: "I am a fox demon who has practiced for thousands of years, and I was injured by the Heavenly Dao because of my careless cultivation, and I need to find someone with a good heart to help me recover my mana." Although you are a long-term worker, you have a good heart, so I chose you. ”
When Ah Fu heard this, he was horrified, he never expected that this gentle and virtuous lady on weekdays was actually a fox demon. He tried to escape, but was grabbed by his wife and couldn't move.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. Madame said, took out a crystal clear bead from her bosom, and handed it to Ah Fu, "As long as you feed this pearl with your heart and blood every day to help me recover my mana, I can ensure your prosperity and wealth for a lifetime." ”
Ah Fu looked at the bead and felt conflicted in his heart. He knew that once he agreed, it would mean that he would be in the company of this fox demon and embark on a road of no return. However, he was afraid that if he refused, he would be retaliated by the fox demon.
Just as he hesitated, he suddenly felt a sharp pain hit him, and with a slight tap of his wife's fingers, a bloody hole appeared in his chest. Blood gushed out, dripping onto the bead, and was instantly absorbed.
Ah Fu screamed in pain and tried to struggle, but found that he had lost his strength. He could only watch as his blood was sucked away by the bead, and his heart was filled with despair and fear.
Madame looked at Ah Fu's painful appearance and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She gently stroked the bead that had become ruddy, and said in a low voice: "Ah Fu, don't worry, I won't treat you badly." ”
After saying that, she waved her hand, and Ah Fu felt a wave of dizziness hit her, and then lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he was back in his bed, as if everything had just been a nightmare.
However, the pain in his chest reminded him that it was all real. He touched his chest, where there was no more blood, only a faint scar. He knew in his heart that he had formed an indissoluble bond with this fox demon.
From then on, Ah Fu had to endure severe pain every night, feeding the bead with his own blood. His face grew paler and his body became weaker and weaker. However, the lady became more and more satisfied with him, and gave him some gold and silver treasures as a reward every day.
Ah Fu's heart was full of remorse and helplessness. He knew that he had embarked on a path of no return, but he was powerless to change the status quo. He could only endure the pain and torture in silence, looking forward to the day when he would be able to break free from the control of this fox demon.
Little did he know, however, that the real danger had just begun......
(End of first half)
Under the control of the fox demon, Ah Fu lives a painful and helpless life. The daily blood feeding made his body weaken day by day, but the mana of the fox demon was gradually recovering. The remorse and fear in Ah Fu's heart grew like weeds, and he knew he had to find a way to break free from this terrible bondage.
Late one night, Ah Fu sneaked out of the room while the fox demon was sleeping, wanting to ask for help. He walked through the silent courtyard to the old tree at the entrance of the village, where there was an old Taoist priest who was said to be able to ward off evil spirits. Ah Fu knelt under the tree and prayed earnestly to the old Taoist priest to save him from the sea of suffering.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the fox demon suddenly appeared in front of Ah Fu. She looked at Ah Fu coldly, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in her eyes: "You dare to betray me!" she said, she stretched out her claws and pounced on Ah Fu.
Ah Fu was so frightened that he turned around and ran, but the speed of the fox demon was amazingly fast. Seeing that the fox demon's claws were about to catch him, Ah Fu suddenly felt a powerful force surging from behind him, pulling him aside.
When he looked back, he saw that the old Taoist priest appeared behind him at some point, holding a peachwood sword in his hand, and was fighting fiercely with the fox demon. The old Taoist priest's swordsmanship is fierce, and every sword is directed at the vital point of the fox demon. Although the fox demon has high mana, it also seems a little powerless under the attack of the old Taoist.
Ah Fu took the opportunity to run to the side, picked up a wooden stick, and wanted to help the old Taoist priest. He mustered up his courage and rushed towards the fox demon, but his strength was limited after all, and the wooden stick shattered instantly under the fox demon's sharp claws.
At this moment, the old Taoist priest suddenly let out a loud shout, and the peachwood sword in his hand turned into a golden light, piercing the fox demon's chest. The fox demon let out a miserable scream, and his body instantly turned into a cloud of green smoke and dissipated into the air.
Ah Fu watched this scene dumbfounded, his heart full of shock and gratitude. He hurriedly ran to the old Taoist, knelt down and kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you for the old Taoist's life-saving grace!"
The old Taoist priest helped Ah Fu up and said with a smile: "You are kind-hearted, and you will have noble people to help you." In the future, you must be a good person and never be deceived by evil spirits again. After speaking, he handed Ah Fu a pill, "This medicine can cure the blood injury in your heart, take it and recuperate." ”
Ah Fu took the pill and was grateful. After he took the pill, he felt a warm current surging through his body, and the pain in his chest gradually disappeared. He knew that he had finally escaped the control of the fox demon and regained his freedom.
Since then, Ah Fu has never been harassed by demons again. He was hardworking and kind, and lived a peaceful and happy life. And that thrilling experience has become an eternal secret in his heart.
With the help of the old Taoist priest, Ah Fu finally got rid of the control of the fox demon and regained his freedom. The gratitude in his heart was indescribable, and he could only kowtow to the old Taoist priest to thank him constantly. The old Taoist priest smiled and helped him up, warning him to be cautious in the future and not to be deceived by demons again.
Ah Fu returned home, full of anticipation for the future. He took the elixir given by the old Taoist priest, and the wound on his chest gradually healed, and his body slowly recovered. He no longer suffers from the blood of his heart every day, and his whole being is refreshed.
However, Ah Fu did not forget that terrifying experience. He knew that although the fox demon had been eliminated, the demon in the world still existed. He was determined to learn some self-defense techniques so that he wouldn't be in danger again. So, he began to ask the old Taoist priest for Taoist advice, hoping to protect himself and his family.
The old Taoist priest saw Ah Fu's sincerity and determination, so he took him as a disciple and taught him some basic Taoism. Although Ah Fu's qualifications are mediocre, he is diligent and studious, not afraid of hardship, and soon mastered some basic spells.
Under the careful guidance of the old Taoist priest, Ah Fu's Taoism has become more and more sophisticated. Not only can he drive away some little monsters, but he can also solve some incurable diseases for the villagers. Gradually, his fame spread, and he became a respected figure in the village.
However, just when Ah Fu thought he was strong enough to deal with all the demons, an even bigger crisis was quietly approaching.
One day, a fierce monster appeared in the mountains and forests near the village. It wreaks havoc everywhere, harming villagers and destroying crops. The villagers were terrified and turned to Ah Fu for help.
Ah Fu knew that this demon beast was by no means comparable to ordinary demons. He didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only ask the old Taoist priest for advice on countermeasures first. The old Taoist priest told him that this demon beast was a fierce beast from ancient times, and its mana was so strong that it would not be easy to subdue it.
Ah Fu's heart tightened when he heard this, but he knew that as the guardian of the village, he couldn't back down. He asked the old Taoist priest for some tips on how to deal with demon beasts, and then resolutely went to the mountains and forests.
In the mountains and forests, Ah Fu and the demon beast launched a thrilling battle. He used the Taoism he had learned to fight wits and courage with demon beasts. After a hard battle, Ah Fu finally found the weakness of the demon beast and hit it hard with a single blow.
The demon beast let out a terrible scream, turning into a black smoke and dissipating into the air. Ah Fu sat on the ground tiredly, but his heart was full of joy and pride. He knew that he had finally defeated this ferocious demon beast and brought peace to the villagers.
When the villagers learned the news that the demon beast had been removed, they came to thank Ah Fu one after another. They were impressed by Ah Fu's bravery and wisdom and regarded him as the hero of the village. Ah Fu modestly said that this was all the credit of the old Taoist, and he just did his part.
Since then, Ah Fu has worked harder to learn the Tao, hoping to better protect himself and his family. He knows that there are countless demons and evils in the world, and only by constantly improving his strength can he cope with all kinds of unknown challenges.
And the experience of fighting with fox demons and demon beasts has also become the most valuable wealth in Ah Fu's life. It taught him to be brave, wise and resilient, and it also made him understand the preciousness of life and the importance of responsibility.
The story of Ah Fu has been passed down in the village for a long, long time, and has become a legend in the hearts of generations after generations. And Ah Fu himself has always guarded this land and the people here with his kindness, bravery and wisdom.
