Villagers digging a pond and encountering giant tortoises
In ancient times, there was a place called Taoyuan Village, where the people were simple and simple, and the villagers lived a peaceful life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. Surrounded by mountains and surrounded by fertile plains, Taoyuan Village has a fly in the ointment that water is scarce and crops wither during drought seasons, putting the villagers' livelihoods in jeopardy.
There is a young man named Li Tiezhu in the village, he is strong and kind-hearted, and he is a good helper in the village. In order to solve the water problem, Li Tiezhu proposed to dig a pond outside the village to store rainwater in case of emergency. The villagers responded, and everyone worked together to quickly select a low-lying place to start construction.
The excavation went well, and a bottomless pit was dug in a few days. However, just as everyone was about to celebrate, a loud noise came from the bottom of the pit, and immediately after, a huge turtle slowly rose from the dirt. The turtle was ten feet long, with a back covered with emerald green moss, and its eyes glittered with a deep light. When the villagers saw this, they were all terrified and retreated.
The giant tortoise slowly opened its mouth, and unexpectedly spoke: "I am the guardian turtle of this place, why do you and other mortals trespass on my territory?" The villagers were so frightened that no one dared to answer. At this time, Li Tiezhu stepped forward, he took a deep breath, and said boldly: "I, the villagers, in order to survive, want to dig a pond here to store water. If there is any offense, please forgive the tortoise. ”
When the giant tortoise heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in its eyes, it bowed its head slightly, and its voice became much gentler: "I know the hardships of you, but this place is my territory, and it cannot be moved lightly. However, I can wait for a rain to solve the urgent need. With that, the giant tortoise threw its head up to the sky and let out a deafening roar. Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and heavy rain poured down.
The villagers cheered and knelt down to thank the turtle. The rain continued for three days and three nights, and the pond in the village was also filled with rainwater. When the rain stopped, the tortoise disappeared as if it had never been seen before. However, the villagers all know that it was the turtle that saved their lives.
Since then, Taoyuan Village has never encountered a drought year, the crops have been harvested every year, and the villagers have lived a life of peace and contentment. However, the good times did not last long, and as time passed, an old dog in the village suddenly began to cry at night. This dog's name is Ah Huang, and he is an old dog in the village, who is docile and cute on weekdays, and is deeply loved by the villagers. However, its cry was unusually miserable, as if it was a sign that something ominous was about to happen.
At first, the villagers thought that Ah Huang was just old and frail, and he was not feeling well. However, Ah Huang's cries became more frequent and more poignant. In the dead of night, its heart-rending cry would spread throughout the village, making people shudder.
The villagers began to feel uneasy, and they speculated about why Ah Huang was so unusual. Some people say that Ah Huang saw something unclean, and some people say that Ah Huang felt that something disaster was about to befall him. However, none of these speculations can explain why Ah Huang cried so miserably.
Just when the villagers were helpless, Li Tiezhu stepped forward again. He decided to find out for himself and see what Ah Huang was crying about. So, in the dead of night, Li Tiezhu quietly followed Ah Huang out of the village.
When they came to a dense forest outside the village, Ah Huang suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at Li Tiezhu, his eyes full of grief and begging. Li Tiezhu's heart moved, he squatted down, gently stroked Ah Huang's head, and asked softly, "Ah Huang, what are you crying about?" Did you see something terrible? ”
Ah Huang seemed to understand Li Tiezhu's words, it wagged its tail gently, and then let out a terrible cry again. Then, it turned and ran into the depths of the dense forest, followed by Li Tiezhu. They walked through the forest to a bottomless cave. Ah Huang stopped at the entrance of the cave and looked back at Li Tiezhu, his eyes full of fear and uneasiness.
Li Tiezhu took a deep breath, he knew that there must be some ulterior secret here. He slowly approached the cave and looked inside. I saw that in the depths of the cave, a black gas swirled, as if something terrifying was about to wake up from the darkness......
Li Tiezhu's heart rose to his throat, and he knew that he couldn't back down. He clutched the torch in his hand and walked deeper into the cave step by step. As he went deeper and deeper, the black aura became thicker and thicker, as if it was about to devour him.
Suddenly, a loud bang came from the depths of the cave, and the whole cave trembled. Li Tiezhu stumbled and almost fell to the ground. He settled down and walked on. I saw that in the depths of the cave, a huge black shadow slowly rose, accompanied by bursts of fishy smell.
Li Tiezhu's eyes widened, and he could see the black shadow clearly—it was a huge black turtle, completely different from the previous Divine Turtle. Its eyes shone with an evil light, and it exuded a suffocating dark aura on its body.
"Who are you that dare to trespass into my lair?" The giant black tortoise opened its bloody jaws and made a low, terrifying sound.
Although Li Tiezhu was afraid, he knew that he couldn't back down. He took a deep breath and said loudly: "I am Li Tiezhu, a villager from Taoyuan Village, and I have to come here in order to find out the truth. Who are you holy, and why are you doing evil here? ”
The black giant tortoise sneered and said, "I am a demon tortoise under the command of the god of darkness, specializing in absorbing the power of darkness in the world. You people from Taoyuan Village have upset the balance here, making it impossible for me to continue cultivating. So, I'm going to bury the whole village! ”
When Li Tiezhu heard this, he was shocked. He didn't expect this demon turtle to be so evil that it would destroy the entire village. He hurriedly said: "We didn't upset the balance, we just dug the pond to survive. Why are you angry with innocent villagers? ”
The Demon Tortoise wagged its tail impatiently and said, "I don't care so much, you all have to die anyway!" As he spoke, it opened its big mouth and threw itself at Li Tiezhu.
Seeing this, Li Tiezhu hurriedly retreated. However, where does his speed compare to the Demon Turtle? In the blink of an eye, the tortoise's claws were already clawed at his chest.
At this moment, a golden light fell from the sky and directly hit the head of the demon turtle. The demon turtle screamed and flew upside down several feet away. Li Tiezhu took the opportunity to turn around and run away, he knew that he was not the opponent of the Demon Turtle, and he had to find a way to find a rescuer.
He galloped all the way back to the village and told the villagers what had happened. When the villagers heard about the evil deeds of the demon turtle, they were all terrified. They all expressed their desire to unite against the Demon Tortoise and protect their homeland.
At this moment, the mysterious turtle reappeared. It looked at the frightened villagers and said, "I know everything. You don't need to be afraid, I will protect you. ”
The tortoise's words calmed the villagers down a bit. It turned to look at Li Tiezhu and said, "Li Tiezhu, your courage is commendable, but your strength is still weak. I have given you a magic weapon, the Golden Light Rune, to help you fight against the Demon Tortoise. As he spoke, it spit out a piece of golden rune paper and handed it to Li Tiezhu.
Li Tiezhu took the rune, his heart full of gratitude. He knew that with this magic weapon, he had the courage to fight against the demon turtle.
So, under the leadership of the Turtles, the villagers began to set up fortifications in preparation for the upcoming Turtles. And Li Tiezhu held the golden light rune and stood at the forefront......
The appearance of the Turtle gives hope to the villagers, but it also makes them realize that the upcoming battle will be extremely difficult. Under the guidance of the Turtles, the villagers sprang into action, reinforcing the walls of the village and preparing plenty of bows, arrows, and stones in case of emergency.
Li Tiezhu held the golden light rune in his hand and stood at the entrance of the village, nervous and excited in his heart. He knew that this rune was the key to his fight against the Demon Tortoise. He continued to recite the spell that the Turtle had taught him, trying to maximize the power of the rune.
As night fell, the whole village was enveloped in an atmosphere of slaughter. Suddenly, a strong wind rose and shook the trees in the village. Immediately after, a huge black shadow slowly flew from afar, it was the evil demon turtle.
As soon as the demon turtle arrived at the entrance of the village, it let out a deafening roar, as if it was about to collapse the entire village. Seeing this, the villagers took up arms one after another and prepared to meet the battle. However, the Demon Tortoise was so large and powerful that it was unrivaled for a while.
Just as the villagers were in despair, the Divine Turtle suddenly rose into the air and blocked the Demon Turtle. It let out a low roar and confronted the tortoise. The roars of the two giant tortoises shook the earth, as if they were about to tear the entire sky apart.
Seeing this, Li Tiezhu knew that this was his time to make a move. He took a deep breath, recited the incantation, and threw the golden rune at the tortoise. I saw that the golden light rune turned into a golden light in the air, and directly hit the head of the demon turtle. The demon tortoise screamed, and its body trembled violently.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Divine Turtle rushed towards the Demon Turtle and engaged in a fierce battle with it. The two giant tortoises come and go, and the fight is inseparable. However, as time passes, the Turtle gradually shows signs of fatigue, while the Turtle becomes more and more courageous.
Li Tiezhu saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. He knew that if the Turtle was defeated, the entire village would be wiped out. So, without hesitation, he rushed forward and joined the fight. He wielded the weapon in his hand and constantly attacked the Demon Turtle's weak points.
With the joint efforts of the villagers, the Demon Tortoise finally revealed its flaws. The Turtle seized the opportunity and knocked the Turtle to the ground with a heavy blow. The tortoise struggled to get up, but to no avail. It let out a desperate roar, then dissipated into the air in a puff of black smoke.
As the demon tortoise vanished, the villagers cheered. They expressed their gratitude to the turtle and Li Tiezhu, praising them as the saviors of the village. The turtle looked at them with a smile, then vanished into the sky in a golden light.
The dissipation of the demon turtle brought peace to the villagers for a long time, but the shock caused by this battle was difficult to calm down for a long time. Li Tiezhu stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the direction in which the turtle disappeared, his heart full of gratitude and admiration. He knew that it was the timely appearance and selfless assistance of the turtle that saved the village from destruction.
After the battle, the villagers gathered around Li Tiezhu and asked him how he had been helped by the Turtle. Li Tiezhu smiled and told the story of how he met the Divine Turtle and how the Divine Turtle taught him the Golden Light Rune. After hearing this, the villagers all sighed at the magic and greatness of the turtle, and at the same time were proud of Li Tiezhu's bravery and wisdom.
However, Li Tiezhu did not become complacent because of this. He knew that this victory was not his own work, but the result of the joint efforts of the whole village. Therefore, he proposed to build a temple in the village to enshrine the statue of the turtle to thank the turtle for saving his life and pray that the turtle would continue to bless the village with safety.
The villagers agreed, and they began to prepare for the construction of the temple. Under the guidance of the turtles, they found a piece of feng shui treasure and began to build the temple. The construction of the temple took several months and culminated in a magnificent structure. The temple is home to a statue of a turtle that is so lifelike that it seems to leap out of the stone wall at any moment.
After the temple was completed, the villagers came to pay their respects and pray for the blessings of the turtles. Li Tiezhu also came to the temple from time to time to express his respect and gratitude to the turtle. He knows that it is the Turtle that gives him the strength and courage to face difficulties and challenges bravely.
With the passage of time, Taoyuan Village gradually regained its former prosperity and tranquility. The villagers are united and work together for the prosperity of the village. They built more ponds and farmland, planted more crops and vegetables, and the village's economy grew rapidly.
However, Li Tiezhu did not forget that thrilling battle. He often recalled the heroism and selflessness of the Turtle, as well as his own growth and transformation in that battle. He knew that these experiences would forever be etched in his heart and become the most valuable treasure of his life.
Over the years, Taoyuan Village has gradually become a place full of legends. And Li Tiezhu and his story have also become a good story passed on by word of mouth among the villagers. Whenever someone mentions that battle and the magical power of the Turtles, it makes people feel extremely awe and emotion. And Li Tiezhu, because of this, has become a legend in the village and will always be remembered by people.
