The old turtle spat out people's words
Once upon a time, there was a little boy who had a flock of ducks at home. Every morning, he would drive the ducks to the creek outside the village to feed. The ducks swim freely in the creek, eating the fish, shrimp and plankton of the creek, while the little boy sits on the shore and directs the duck flock from time to time with a long bamboo pole.
One day, the little boy, as usual, drove the duck to the river. However, when he turned back to get something, he found that the ducks were all gone. He searched the river for a long time, but did not find a single duck. The little boy was anxious, these ducks were an important asset in their family, and if they were lost, how would he explain them to his parents?
He shouted the names of the ducks by the creek and looked around, hoping to find them. However, there was only the rustle of the wind blowing through the leaves and the murmuring of water, and there was no response from any ducks.
The little boy was so depressed that he sat by the river with his hands on his cheeks and tears glistening in his eyes. He didn't know how he was going to explain it to his parents, and he didn't know how to spend the rest of his life.
Just when he was almost in despair, he suddenly heard a low and powerful voice: "Little boy, are you looking for your duck?" ”
The little boy looked up in surprise and saw that the sound was coming from a large rock in the center of the river. When he looked closely, it was not a stone, but a huge old turtle. The old turtle's back shell was covered with traces of time, and its eyes shone with wisdom.
"Yes, my ducks are gone, do you know where they go?" The little boy asked eagerly.
"Your ducks have been captured by the youkai in the river." The old turtle said slowly, "But don't worry, I can help you find them." ”
"Really? Thank you so much! The little boy jumped up excitedly.
"However, you must promise me one condition." The old turtle's voice became serious, "You have to help me recover my stolen treasure, a pearl." ”
"Pearls? How could I possibly find it? The little boy asked, confused.
"That pearl is very important to me, it is the essence of my cultivation for thousands of years. Not long ago, an evil wizard took advantage of my unpreparedness and stole it. If you can help me get it back, I'll show you how to get your duck back. The old turtle explained.
The little boy thought about it and felt that this was the only clue to find the duck, so he resolutely agreed to the old turtle's request. He asked, "What does that wizard look like?" Where does he live? ”
"He was dressed in a black robe, with a half-mask on his face, revealing only a pair of cunning eyes." "He lived in a black castle deep in the forest. You have to be careful, he has a lot of weird spells. ”
After listening to the old turtle's description, the little boy's heart was full of courage and determination. He said goodbye to the old tortoise and embarked on an adventure in search of pearls and ducks.
In the forest, the little boy encounters all kinds of difficulties and dangers. He encounters ferocious beasts, eerie traps, and labyrinthine forests. However, with wisdom, courage and kindness, he managed to overcome many difficulties and finally found the black castle.
The castle is eerie, and the boy carefully dodges the traps and spells set by the wizard. He finally found the sparkling pearl in the basement of the castle. At this time, an evil sorcerer suddenly appears in front of him and tries to reclaim the pearl.
The boy bravely fought the wizard. Using his wits and courage, he succeeded in defeating the wizard and reclaiming the pearl.
With the joy of victory, the little boy returned to the creek and gave the pearl to the old turtle. The old turtle looked at him gratefully and said, "Thank you, brave child! Now, I'll show you how to get your duck back. ”
The old turtle tells the boy a secret spell and directs him to a hidden pond. The little boy followed the old turtle's instructions and recited a spell by the pond. Suddenly, ripples rippled on the surface of the water, and one by one his ducks emerged from the water and swam happily to the shore.
The little boy excitedly hugged each duck and said gratefully to the old turtle, "Thank you, old turtle!" You got me back my duck and taught me to be brave and persistent. ”
The old turtle looked at him with a smile and said, "Brave boy, you have overcome difficulties with your courage and wisdom. I'll give you this pearl as a souvenir. ”
The little boy took the pearl and felt that it was shining and dazzling. He held the pearl tightly in his hand, feeling the strength and hope it brings.
From then on, the little boy cherished and loved his ducks even more. He took them to the creek every day to forage and play, and life was full of joy and warmth. And that pearl became his most precious treasure, a testament to his courage and wisdom.
Later, the people of the village learned about the little boy's heroic deeds. They praised him as a brave, kind child. As a result, the little boy becomes more confident and strong, bravely facing every challenge in life.
And on the big rock by the river, the old turtle was still lying quietly, as if waiting for the next warrior in need. When the sun sets, its back shell glows with a golden light, as if telling the legend of a thousand years and mysterious powers. And the little boy and his ducks become the most beautiful chapter of this legend.

The guardian of pearls
Time has passed, and the once little boy has now grown into a handsome young man named Tianhao. He is not only the pride of the village, but also a warrior known to the surrounding villages. He had always cherished that pearl, not only because it represented his own courage and wisdom, but also because it seemed to contain some mysterious power.
One day, the mountains near the village suddenly shook, and a fierce beast suddenly appeared, raging everywhere, causing great panic among the villagers. The village chief hurriedly called a meeting of the villagers to discuss countermeasures.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that behemoths are raging, our homeland is in danger. We must unite to resist this catastrophe! The village chief said in an impassioned voice.
However, the villagers were frightened, and the strength of the giant beast was beyond imagination, and they felt helpless and afraid. At this moment, Tianhao stood up.
"Village Chief, I'm willing to fight against this giant beast." Tianhao's voice was firm and powerful, "I once got a pearl from the old turtle when I was a child, and I believe it can help me. ”
There was a lot of discussion among the villagers, some expressing concern and others expressing support. In the end, the village chief decided to let Tianhao give it a try.
Tianhao returned home and took out the pearl that had been treasured for a long time. He closed his eyes and felt the power contained in the pearl. Suddenly, he felt a powerful force rush into his body, filling him with confidence and courage.
Tianhao came to the foot of the mountain, only to see the giant beast lying on the top of the mountain, its eyes flashing with fierce light. He took a deep breath, clenched the sword in his hand, and charged towards the beast.
Seeing Tianhao rushing towards him, the giant beast let out a deafening roar and pounced on him with its bloody mouth open. Tianhao deftly dodged the attack of the giant beast and slashed at the back of the giant beast with a backhand. However, the beast's leather armor was extremely hard, and Tianhao's sword couldn't hurt it even a bit.
The giant beast turned around and pounced on Tianhao again, and Tianhao hurriedly dodged. He realized that he could not defeat the beast by force alone. Suddenly, he remembered the pearl, so he gripped it tightly and recited the incantation.
At that moment, the pearl emitted a dazzling light that shot straight into the beast's eyes. The beast covered its eyes in pain and let out a terrible howl. Tianhao took the opportunity to rush forward and stabbed the giant beast in the heart with a sword.
The beast fell with a bang, and the earth shook. The villagers cheered and hugged Tianhao one after another, thanking him for relieving the crisis in the village.
Tianhao modestly said that this was the result of everyone's joint efforts, and held the pearl high. The villagers were amazed to find that the pearl had become even more dazzling.
Since then, Tianhao has been revered by the villagers as the "Pearl Warrior", and his name and story have spread throughout the continent. That pearl has also become the treasure of the village, passed down from generation to generation, witnessing the legend of the warrior and the prosperity of the village.
The Curse of Pearls
However, the good times were short-lived. Soon after, a mysterious merchant came to the village, who became interested in the pearl and offered to buy it for a huge amount of gold. Both the village chief and the villagers see this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to improve the lives of the village. But Tianhao was adamantly opposed to selling pearls because he knew the importance of the pearls.
However, lured by money, some villagers began to waver. They secretly gave the pearls to the merchants in exchange for huge sums of gold. Tianhao was furious when he learned of this, but it was too late, and the merchant had already left the village with the pearl.
Soon after, a series of strange things began to happen in the village. First the crops withered, the livestock died, then the villagers fell ill one after another, and some people even disappeared mysteriously. The villagers fell into a panic, and they began to suspect that it all had something to do with the pearl that had been sold.
Tianhao decided to retrieve the pearl and break the curse. Armed with dry rations and weapons, he embarks on a journey to find the pearl.
During the long journey, Tianhao went through a lot of hardships and finally found the mysterious merchant. However, the merchant told him the astonishing news that the pearl was not the one he had purchased, but an even more evil "cursed pearl".
It turned out that the merchant had met a mysterious man in black shortly after leaving the village. The Man in Black exchanged a pearl that seemed identical but full of evil power for the merchant's pearl and left a curse.
Tianhao knew that the situation was serious, and he had to find the real pearl as soon as possible to save the village. With the help of the merchants, Tianhao finally found the hiding place of the man in black.
After a thrilling battle, Tianhao succeeds in retrieving the pearl and revealing the true identity of the Man in Black - a dark wizard who intends to use the power of evil to rule the world.
Tianhao returned to the village with the pearl and used its power to dispel the curse. The village gradually returned to its former tranquility and prosperity, and the villagers' admiration for Tianhao was beyond words. They all said that they would leave this pearl in the village forever, as a treasure guarded by the warrior Tianhao and the villagers.
And Tianhao has also grown into a true hero in this adventure, and he is determined to continue to protect the village and defend peace and justice. His story has been passed down from generation to generation and has become an eternal legend in the village.
That pearl, like Tianhao, has experienced countless winds and rains and tests, witnessing the glory of the warriors and the rise and fall of the village. It is no longer just a brilliant gem, but a symbol of mystical power and legend. When night falls, the moonlight shines on the pearls, as if it tells the legendary story of courage, wisdom and perseverance.
