The old man builds a new house
In the far east, there is a vast and boundless land called Qingyun Realm. The mountains and rivers here are magnificent, the rivers are crisscrossed, and the industrious and intelligent people live. In the northeast corner of Qingyun Realm, there is an ancient and quiet small village, and there is an old man surnamed Li in the village, known as Li Bo.
Li Bo is over sixty years old, with a strong body, ruddy complexion, and a bold personality. He has worked hard all his life and accumulated some family business, and his greatest wish is to build a spacious and bright new house, so that his family can live a comfortable life.
In the spring of this year, Li Bo finally made up his mind to build a new house. He invited the craftsmen of the village, selected an auspicious day, and broke ground. Villagers came to help, and the construction site was full of people and lively.
The construction of the new house is progressing well, and the day of topping out will soon come. On this day, the sky was clear and the sun was shining, and Li Bo stood on the construction site, looking at the new house that was about to be completed, and his heart was full of joy and expectation.
Just then, a white-bearded old man walked into the construction site. He was wearing a cyan robe, holding a whisk in his hand, his gait was light and his aura was magnificent. The villagers gathered around and looked at the strange old man curiously.
Seeing this, Li Bo hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hand: "Old immortal, you have come from afar, I don't know what advice you have?"
The white-bearded old man smiled slightly, glanced at the new house with a torch in his eyes, and then said slowly: "Uncle Li, your house is well built, but it's a pity that ...... Don't build this room. ”
As soon as these words came out, the scene was suddenly silent. The villagers looked at each other, not understanding why the old man had said this. Li Bo was also stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Old Immortal, what do you mean by this? My house is about to be built, why can't I build it?"
The white-bearded old man sighed softly and said, "Uncle Li, you don't know anything. This house is good, but there is a vicious place hidden under the foundation. If it is forcibly built, it will inevitably lead to endless disasters, ranging from the destruction of the family to the destruction of the whole village. ”
Li Bo was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What about ...... How can that be? Please ask the old fairy to guide you. ”
The white-bearded old man pondered for a moment and said, "To solve this misfortune, the only way to resolve the evil spirit is to find a thing that suppresses evil spirits. However, this evil thing is extremely rare, and it takes someone to get it. ”
After hearing this, Li Bo felt uneasy in his heart. He knows that his life is ordinary, and he has never encountered any adventures, let alone any destined people. But thinking about his family's safety and the future of the village, he gritted his teeth and decided to find this evil thing no matter what.
So, Li Bo said goodbye to the white-bearded old man and embarked on a journey to find something to suppress evil. He trekked through mountains and rivers, went through hardships, and finally came to a place called "Lingbao Mountain". It is said that this was once a place for Taoist masters to practice, leaving behind many magical magic weapons and cheats.
Li Bo searched for several days on Lingbao Mountain, but he never found the thing that suppressed evil spirits. Just when he was disheartened, a young Taoist priest appeared in front of him. This Taoist priest has clear eyebrows and an extraordinary spirit, holding a long sword and carrying a cloth bag.
Seeing this, Li Bo hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "The Taoist chief is polite, and under Li Bo, I have come to look for something to suppress evil spirits and solve the misfortune of my hometown." I wonder if you can give me some advice?"
The young Taoist priest smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Li, you are really destined. I am a disciple of the Taoist Temple in the Qingyun Realm, and I was ordered by my master to go down the mountain to practice. I happen to know the whereabouts of this evil thing. ”
Li Bo was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Then please ask the Taoist chief to make it clear, where is this evil thing?"
The young Taoist priest pointed to a cave on the top of the mountain and said, "In that cave, there is a 'Tai Chi Evil Suppression Talisman'. This talisman is drawn by the ancestor himself, with infinite divine power, can suppress all evil in the world. All you need to do is obtain this talisman to dispel the misfortune of your hometown. ”
Li Bo was excited after hearing this, and hurriedly thanked the young Taoist priest. Under the guidance of the Taoist priest, he successfully obtained the "Tai Chi Evil Charm and returned to his hometown with it".
However, when Li Bo returned to the construction site with the evil charm, he found that it was already in ruins. It turned out that during the time he was away, the new house suddenly collapsed and became a ruin. The villagers were terrified and speculated whether the ferocious aura had flinched.
Seeing this, Li Bo had mixed feelings in his heart. He understood that all this was due to the fact that he had not found the evil thing in time. But at this point, he could only endure his grief and bury the evil charm under the rubble, hoping to dispel the evil spirit.
Since then, Lieber has never mentioned the matter of building a new house. He used his practical actions to tell the villagers to respect nature and conform to the will of heaven. And the figure of the white-bearded old man and the young Taoist priest also remained in his heart forever.
However, the story doesn't end here. Because just when Lieber thought it was all over, an unexpected reversal quietly happened......
Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. The ruins of Lieber's new house are already overgrown with weeds and wild flowers, as if nature is silently guarding the land. Life in the village is still peaceful, but everyone still remembers that thrilling past in their hearts.
One day, while he was working in the fields, he suddenly heard a commotion in the distance. He put down the farming tools in his hand and walked in the direction from which the voice came. I saw a group of people gathered at the entrance of the village, talking a lot, and their faces were full of surprise and curiosity.
Li Bo took a closer look and saw a familiar figure standing in the center of the crowd - it was the white-bearded old man back then. He was still wearing a cyan robe, holding a whisk, but his complexion was more ruddy than ten years ago, as if the years had not left a mark on him.
When the villagers saw the white-bearded old man, they stepped forward to say hello. The old man smiled and nodded, but his eyes fell on the ruins not far away. He sighed deeply and said, "It's been ten years, and it's still like this. It seems that the time has come. ”
When Li Bo heard the old man's words, his heart moved, and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Old Immortal, what do you mean by this?"
The white-bearded old man turned around, looked at Li Bo and said, "Uncle Li, do you know what is hidden under this ruin?"
Li Bo shook his head and said, "I only know that this was originally the place where I planned to build a new house, but because of the fierce aura underground, the house collapsed halfway through construction. ”
The white-bearded old man nodded and said, "You're right. But do you know that this evil spirit did not come out of nowhere?"
Li Bo was stunned for a moment and said, "Please also ask the old immortal to make it clear." ”
The white-bearded old man said slowly: "This ferocious aura is actually the transformation of a thousand-year-old snake demon. It was originally sealed underground, but your act of building the house touched the seal, causing it to escape. Luckily, you've found the Evil Charm in time and resealed it. ”
After hearing this, Li Bo suddenly realized, and said, "I see! What happened to this snake demon now?"
The white-bearded old man said, "It has been re-sealed by me, and this time the seal is even stronger, and it can no longer escape." ”
Li Bo breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and said, "That's good." Thank you old fairy for helping!"
The white-bearded old man waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me. Actually, it's yourself who should really be thanked. If it weren't for your good intentions and finding the evil charm in time, I'm afraid this snake demon would have already harmed the world. ”
After hearing this, Li Bo was grateful. He understood that all of this was resolved because of the kindness of his thoughts. From then on, he became more convinced of the teachings of Taoism, and paid more attention to his own practice and morality.
And the villagers in the village also got inspiration from it. They understand the principle of reverence for nature and conformity with the will of heaven, and they also pay more attention to their own morality and cultivation. Since then, nothing strange has happened in the village, and everyone has lived a peaceful and peaceful life.
And the weeds and wildflowers on the ruins also seem to silently guard this land and the people here. They have witnessed all the changes and stories here, and have become a unique sight in the village.
As the years passed, the words of the white-bearded old man took root and sprouted in the hearts of the villagers like a seed. They began to cherish the land more, to respect the power of nature, and also learned how to maintain a kind and determined heart in the face of difficulties.
However, as time passes, an even more shocking secret gradually emerges. It turned out that the thousand-year-old snake demon that was resealed by the white-bearded old man was not really trapped forever. Its power has only been suppressed temporarily, while its resentment and hatred have been growing in the shadows.
One day, a series of strange things suddenly appeared in the village. Poultry and livestock disappeared for no apparent reason, crops in the fields withered overnight, and some even claimed to hear strange cries at night. These anomalies made the villagers panic, and they wondered if the snake demon's resentment had begun to haunt them again.
That's when Lieber made a decision. He decides to look for Old Man Whitebeard once again, hoping to get his help to eliminate the threat of the snake demon once and for all. So, he packed his bags and embarked on a new journey.
After several days of trekking, Li Bo finally found the retreat of the old man with the white beard. The old man didn't seem surprised to see Li Bo, but asked lightly: "Are you here?"
Li Bo nodded and told the old man everything that happened in the village. After hearing this, the old man frowned, pondered for a moment before slowly speaking: "I know that the snake demon's resentment has not been eliminated, but it is not easy to completely eliminate its threat. ”
When Li Bo heard this, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Then what should we do?"
The white-bearded old man said: "If you want to completely eliminate the threat of the snake demon, you need to use the power of heaven and earth to carry out a grand ceremony. But before we can do that, we still need to find a crucial artifact - the 'Qiankun Mirror'. ”
"Qiankun Mirror?" asked Li Bo, puzzled.
"That's right, the 'Qiankun Mirror' is a magic weapon that can gain insight into the mysteries of heaven and earth. Only by finding it can we find the best time and place to perform the ritual. The white-bearded man explained.
After hearing this, although Li Bo was uneasy in his heart, he still resolutely accepted the task when he thought of the safety of the village. He said goodbye to the white-bearded old man and embarked on a journey to find the "Qiankun Mirror" again.
This time the journey is even more difficult than the last one. Li Bo crossed the lofty mountains and went through countless hardships, and finally found the "Qiankun Mirror" in an ancient cave. When he returned to the village with the "Qiankun Mirror", the villagers cheered, knowing that this time there was finally hope of completely eliminating the threat of the snake demon.
Under the guidance of the white-bearded old man, the villagers, together with Li Bo, prepared a grand ceremony. On the day of the ceremony, a vision appeared in the sky, thunder and lightning, and the wind and clouds changed color. The white-bearded old man held a magic weapon in his hand, chanting words in his mouth, leading the villagers to pray for strength from heaven and earth.
As the ritual progressed, a dazzling light shot out from the "Qiankun Mirror", pointing directly at the snake demon under the ruins. Under the illumination of the light, the resentment and hatred of the snake demon were gradually purified and dissipated. Eventually, with a loud bang, a terrible scream came from under the rubble, and then everything was calm.
After the ceremony, the villagers cheered, knowing that this time the threat of the snake demon had finally been completely eliminated. And Li Bo was also deeply grateful, he understood that all this was realized because of the kindness of his original thought.
After the ritual, the village seemed to have been washed and reborn. Lieber's bravery and wisdom won the respect and love of the villagers, who united as one to protect the land.
However, just when the villagers thought they could sit back and relax, a shocking piece of news shattered the silence again. It turned out that although the thousand-year-old snake demon had been purified, its demonic power had not completely dissipated, but had turned into a strange gem called the "Snake Spirit Bead". This gem contains powerful energy, and if used by someone with a heart, it will cause unpredictable disasters.
When Li Bo learned the news, he knew in his heart that the responsibility on his shoulders was heavier. He knew very well that this "snake spirit bead" could not fall into the hands of the wicked, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. So, he once again embarked on a journey to find the "Snake Spirit Bead".
This time the search was more difficult than the previous two, because no one knew the whereabouts of the "Snake Spirit Bead", and Li Bo could only rely on his own wisdom and courage to explore. He crossed barren deserts, climbed steep mountain peaks, and finally found the trace of the "Snake Spirit Pearl" in a remote valley.
However, when Li Bo found the "Snake Spirit Bead", he found that it had been targeted by a mysterious force. This force tried to use the power of the "Snake Spirit Bead" to achieve its own goals, and they sent a group of masters to snatch it.
In the face of a formidable enemy, Lieber was undaunted. With his martial arts and resourcefulness, he fought fiercely against his enemies. After a fierce battle, Li Bo finally defeated the enemy and successfully guarded the "Snake Spirit Bead".
However, Lieber did not take the "snake spirit bead" for himself, but chose to return it to nature. He believed that although this gem contained powerful energy, if used by humans, it would only bring disaster and destruction. Only by returning it to nature can it continue to protect the land and its villagers.
So, Li Bo took the "Snake Spirit Bead" to a mysterious cave and buried it deep in the ground. Since then, the "Snake Spirit Bead" has become a part of this land, silently guarding the peace and happiness of the villagers.
When the villagers learned of Lieber's heroic deeds, they paid him their respects and thanks. They are proud and proud to have such a wise and courageous leader. Knowing that his mission had been accomplished, Lieber returned to the village and continued to live a peaceful and simple life.
Since then, nothing strange has happened in the village, and the villagers have lived a happy and peaceful life. And Li Bo has also become a legend in the village, and his story has been passed down from generation to generation by the villagers, and has become an eternal story.
And the weeds and wildflowers above the ruins also seem to silently guard this land and this peace. They bear witness to Lieber's bravery and wisdom, as well as the changes and stories of this land. And all this will forever be engraved in people's hearts and become their eternal memories and inheritance.
