Scholarly adventures
In a distant ancient village, there is a strange story about a scholar and a beggar. The scholar's name was Mo Xuan, and he was a young talent who read poetry and books, and often traveled around in order to study. He was gentle, kind-hearted, and had compassion for all things in the world.
One day, Mo Xuan came to a small town called Qingxi, where he planned to stay for a few days to continue his education. He found an inn on the edge of the town, called the "Ancient Road Inn". Although the inn is inconspicuous, the environment is quiet, far away from the hustle and bustle of the town, which is exactly what Moxuan wants.
After Mo Xuan settled down, he went to the town to wander around and learn about the customs. He saw that most of the people in the town were simple and kind, but there were also some wandering beggars, ragged and hungry. Mo Xuan couldn't bear it, so he often bought some food and distributed it to those beggars.
Among them was an elderly beggar named Ah Fu, who was different from the others. Although his clothes are shabby, his eyes are bright, and his words and demeanor reveal an extraordinary temperament. When Mo Xuan first saw Ah Fu, he felt that this person was extraordinary, so he took special care of him.
One evening, Mo Xuan returned to the inn and saw Ah Fu leaning in front of the inn, looking into the distance in a daze. Mo Xuan stepped forward, handed him a steamed bun, and asked with concern, "Uncle Afu, why are you sitting here alone?" It's getting dark, so you might as well get some rest. ”
Ah Fu took the steamed bun, glanced at Mo Xuan gratefully, and said slowly: "Master Mo Xuan, you are really a kind person. However, I have a habit of sleeping when I hear the sound of a watch. You know, we beggars have no rules in our lives, but the sound of the watch rings on time every day, like a reminder that the day has passed. ”
After Mo Xuan heard this, he felt a burst of emotion in his heart. He didn't expect that Ah Fu, a seemingly ordinary beggar, would have such persistence and habits. He smiled and said to Ah Fu, "Then you can sit here and wait for the change, I will go to rest first." If there's anything you need help with, just ask. ”
Ah Fu nodded and continued to look into the distance. Mo Xuan turned around and returned to the inn.
However, at the third watch of the night, Mo Xuan was awakened by a rapid knock on the door. He put on his cloak and opened the door, only to see Ah Fu standing outside the door with an anxious face.
"Mo Xuan Gongzi, it's not good! When I heard the sound of the watch, I wanted to go back to my place to rest, but I found that the watchman in the town was gone! Ah Fu's voice trembled, and his eyes were full of horror.
Mo Xuan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "The watchman is gone?" What's going on? Isn't he usually punctual? ”
Ah Fu shook his head and said, "I don't know. But when I heard the sound of the watch, I went to look for the watchman as usual, but found that his usual beater was still in the same place, but the person was gone. Also, I heard some strange noises, like someone whispering, but I couldn't hear what was being said. ”
After Mo Xuan heard this, a sense of foreboding surged in his heart. He comforted Ah Fu a few words, and asked him to go back to his room to rest first, while he put on his coat and walked out of the inn, wanting to find out.
The night was like ink, and the moonlight was bleak. Mo Xuan walked along the path of the town, towards the place where the watchman usually appeared. Along the way, he felt an indescribable depression and dullness, as if something was secretly peeking at him.
When he came to the drum that was commonly used by the watchmen, he found that the watchman was gone. He looked around, but there was no one to be seen. At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and Mo Xuan felt a chill hit him, and he couldn't help but shiver.
Just then, he heard a small whisper, indistinct, but seemingly coming from all directions. Mo Xuan was shocked, and hurriedly held his breath and listened carefully.
The whisper became clearer and clearer, as if to say: "The third watch has arrived, the ghost door is wide open...... Mo Xuan's heart trembled violently when he heard this, and he realized that this could be an extraordinary thing.
He took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, and continued walking in the direction from which the voice had come. He doesn't know what he's going to face, but he knows that he must find the truth in order to solve the mystery.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and Mo Xuan's heart was getting heavier and heavier. He didn't know how long he had been walking, and finally he came to a deserted cemetery. That's where the whisper came from. He stood on the edge of the cemetery, looking at the gloomy tombstones and wild grass, and an inexplicable fear welled up in his heart.
At this moment, the whisper suddenly became clear: "The third watch has arrived, and the ghost door is wide open...... Scholar, scholar, why haven't you returned? ”
Mo Xuan was shocked when he heard this. He jerked around, trying to escape from this horrible place. However, at this moment, he felt a tremendous force pull him deeper into the graveyard......
(The first half of the story ends, the suspense is to be continued) The night is like thick ink, swallowing up all light. Mo Xuan was dragged by that invisible force and fell into an even deeper darkness. He panicked and tried to struggle, but found that his limbs seemed to be tightly bound by something, and he couldn't move.
He struggled to open his eyes, only to see an eerie array of tombstones around him, as if countless pairs of eyes were peering at him in the darkness. A cold wind blew, bringing a biting chill, and also bringing the echo of the whisper: "Scholar, scholar, why haven't you returned?" ”
A strong fear swelled in Mo Xuan's heart, but he also knew that he couldn't panic at the moment. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, thinking about how to deal with the predicament in front of him.
At that moment, he felt a rush of warmth in his chest. He looked down and saw that it was a jade pendant he had carried with him glowing. This jade pendant was passed down to him by his grandfather and is said to have the magical power to ward off evil spirits and ward off evil spirits.
Mo Xuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly held the jade pendant tightly in his hand, silently reciting the incantation that his grandfather had taught him. As the incantation was chanted, the light of the jade pendant became brighter and brighter, and the surrounding darkness seemed to be dispelled a little.
Suddenly, a figure walked out of the darkness and slowly walked towards Mo Xuan. The figure was tall and blurry, and it was impossible to see the face clearly, but Mo Xuan could feel a strong sense of oppression. He held the jade pendant tightly, silently reciting the incantation in his heart, and did not dare to relax in the slightest.
The figure got closer and closer, and finally stopped in front of Mo Xuan. Mo Xuan looked up and saw a pale and distorted face appear in his sight. His face was full of resentment and anger, as if he wanted to devour Mo Xuan alive.
Mo Xuan was startled, but then calmed down again. He understood that he could not be intimidated like that. He took a deep breath and said loudly, "Who are you?" Why bother here? ”
The ghost seemed to be shocked by Mo Xuan's courage, and was stunned for a moment, before slowly speaking: "I am the grave keeper here, because I was framed and died before I was born, and after my death, my resentment will not dissipate, and I will turn into a powerful ghost. I wanted to seek revenge, but this place was sealed by a mysterious force that prevented me from leaving the graveyard. ”
After Mo Xuan heard this, his heart moved. He remembered what Ah Fu had said before, and everything he had experienced here, which seemed to be related to this mysterious power. He asked, "Then why are you attacking me?" What do I have to do with you? ”
The ghost said hatefully, "I was looking for a substitute ghost to break the seal, but I didn't expect to meet you, a scholar. The aura on your body disgusts me, which is why I attack you. ”
After Mo Xuan heard this, he understood a lot in his heart. He took a deep breath and said, "Since you were framed and died, then your enemy should still be alive. Why don't you seek revenge on them, but do it here? ”
When the ghost heard this, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. Then, with a long sigh, he said, "You're right. It is true that I was framed and died, but my enemies have been dead for many years, and I have not been able to find their descendants. I can only wait here for my chance, hoping that one day I will be able to break the seal and leave this graveyard. ”
After Mo Xuan heard this, his heart moved. He remembered what he had learned, and might be able to find a way to break the seal. He asked, "Do you know how to break the seal?" ”
The goblin nodded and said, "I know some clues, but you still need to find out the exact method yourself." ”
Mo Xuan was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Then please tell me what the clue is?" ”
The goblin hesitated for a moment before he said slowly, "There is an ancient temple on the east side of the town, and a statue of a god is enshrined in the temple. The idol held a jade talisman in his hand, and that jade talisman was the key to breaking the seal. ”
After Mo Xuan heard this, he had a plan in his heart. He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll go and find the jade talisman." But I hope you will grant me one condition. ”
The goblin asked, "On what terms?" ”
Mo Xuan said slowly: "I hope you can stop harming innocent people during the time I am away. When I find the jade talisman and lift the seal, you will go to your enemy for revenge. ”
The goblin was silent for a moment before slowly nodding and saying, "Okay, I promise you." ”
With that, the ghost's figure slowly disappeared into the darkness. Mo Xuan also felt the restraints on his body gradually disappear, and he struggled to his feet, realizing that he had returned to the edge of the graveyard.
He glanced back at the gloomy cemetery, and an inexplicable emotion welled up in his heart. He understands that he is about to embark on a journey full of unknowns and dangers. But he also knew that only by bravely facing these difficulties could he find a way to lift the seal and restore peace to this graveyard.
Mo Xuan took a deep breath and turned to leave the graveyard. He returned to the inn, found Ah Fu, and told him what had just happened. After hearing this, Ah Fu was surprised, but he was also moved by Mo Xuan's courage and determination. He told Mo Xuan that he knew the location of the ancient temple and was willing to show him the way.
So, early the next morning, Mo Xuan and Ah Fu embarked on a journey to the temple. They walked through dense woods, crossed a rushing river, and finally came to the door of the temple. Although the temple is old and dilapidated, it exudes a solemn and mysterious atmosphere.
Mo Xuan stood in front of the temple, looking at the mottled stone walls and dilapidated eaves, and an inexplicable sense of awe surged in his heart. He knew that the temple might be hiding the key to breaking the seal, and he was about to face an unknown challenge.
Seeing Mo Xuan's solemn expression, Ah Fu comforted him softly: "Master Mo Xuan, don't worry too much. Although this temple is ancient, the statue of the god is still majestic, and it may really be able to bless us. ”
Mo Xuan nodded, took a deep breath, and stepped into the temple. The interior of the temple was dim and gloomy, with only a few flickering lights barely illuminating the road ahead. They walked cautiously, for fear of disturbing the gods here.
Finally, they came to the idol. The statue was tall and solemn, and it really held a jade talisman in its hand. The jade talisman emitted a faint light, as if it contained endless power.
Mo Xuan stepped forward and reached out to remove the jade talisman. However, at this moment, the idol suddenly let out a low roar, and the entire temple shook.
Mo Xuan and Ah Fu were so frightened that they retreated again and again, their hearts full of horror. They didn't understand why the idol was suddenly angry. Is it because they have violated some taboo?
Mo Xuan settled down and decided to try again. He took a deep breath, walked over to the idol, and said respectfully, "The gods are above, and I am the scholar Mo Xuan." I have come today to find a way to break the seal and save those who are innocently suffering. If there is any offense, ask the gods for forgiveness. ”
After speaking, Mo Xuan reached out again to take the jade talisman. This time, the idol did not roar again, but quietly watched Mo Xuan.
Mo Xuan carefully removed the jade talisman, only to feel a powerful force surging into his body. He was overjoyed, knowing that he had found the key to breaking the seal.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the temple. Mo Xuan and Ah Fu looked back, only to see a group of black-clothed men with weapons rushing in.
Mo Xuan was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly hid the jade talisman in his arms. He understood that these people were most likely sent by the goblin's enemies, and they wanted to snatch the jade talisman in order to break the seal and allow the goblin to take revenge.
Seeing this, Ah Fu hurriedly blocked in front of Mo Xuan and shouted, "Who are you?" Why break into this place? ”
The leader of the men in black sneered and said, "It doesn't matter who we are. The important thing is that the jade talisman in your hands is very important to us. If you know each other, just hand over the jade talisman obediently, otherwise don't blame us for being polite! ”
When Ah Fu heard this, he was furious and said, "Don't you think! This jade talisman is the key to breaking the seal, how can it be handed over to you villains! ”
After saying that, Ah Fu fought fiercely with the man in black. However, due to the large number of men in black and their high martial arts, Ah Fu soon fell into a bitter battle.
Seeing this, Mo Xuan was very anxious. He knew that he couldn't just sit idly by, but he didn't know martial arts, so what should he do?
At this moment, he felt the jade talisman in his chest suddenly heat up. His heart moved, and he hurriedly took out the jade talisman, held it high above the top, and shouted: "Gods, please give me the strength to protect my friends and this land!" ”
As Mo Xuan's shouts fell, a dazzling light suddenly erupted from the jade talisman. The light instantly enveloped the entire temple, forcing the man in black to retreat again and again.
Mo Xuan felt a powerful force surging into his body, and he felt as if he had become extremely powerful. He took a deep breath, brandished the jade talisman, and rushed towards the man in black.
Seeing this, the man in black was shocked. They didn't expect that this seemingly weak scholar would be able to burst out with such a powerful force. They brandished their weapons one after another, trying to stop Mo Xuan's attack.
However, in the face of the power of the jade rune, their attacks seemed so powerless. Mo Xuan was like a god of war, shuttling freely among the men in black, knocking them down one by one.
Finally, under Mo Xuan's hard work, the men in black were all defeated. Calm was restored in the temple.
Ah Fu saw that the man in black was defeated, and his heart was overjoyed. He walked up to Mo Xuan and said gratefully, "Master Mo Xuan, thank you so much!" If it weren't for your timely help, we would have died long ago. ”
Mo Xuan waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. What we need to do now is to find a way to lift the seal as soon as possible and restore peace to this land. ”
After speaking, Mo Xuan left the temple with Ah Fu. Based on the clues left by the goblin, they found the location of the seal. After some hard work, they finally succeeded in breaking the seal.
With the seal lifted, the goblin was able to leave the graveyard. He glanced at Mo Xuan gratefully and said, "Scholar, scholar, you not only saved me, but also saved this land. I will remember your kindness and will not be troubled again. ”
With that, the goblin disappeared into the darkness. And Mo Xuan and Ah Fu also felt a sense of relief and relief. They knew they had finally completed their mission and restored peace to the land.
However, Mo Xuan's heart swelled with an inexplicable emotion. He understands that there are still many unknowns and dangers in this world waiting for him to explore. But he also believes that as long as there is faith and courage in his heart, he will be able to overcome all difficulties.
So, Mo Xuan continued to embark on his path of study, his steps were more determined, and his eyes were full of expectations and longing for the future.
Leaving the ancient temple, Mo Xuan and Ah Fu walked slowly along the winding mountain road. On both sides of the road, lush trees and wildflowers exude a fresh scent, as if to tell the peace and tranquility of this land. However, Mo Xuan's heart could not be calm, and his thoughts drifted into the distance.
"Ah Fu, do you think we did the right thing this time?" Mo Xuan asked suddenly, breaking the silence.
Ah Fu was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Of course it's right, Prince Mo Xuan." We have rescued the innocent and restored peace to the land. Isn't that an act of kindness? ”
Mo Xuan nodded and shook his head again, a complicated expression on his face. "Yes, we do do good deeds. But I also began to wonder if what we were doing could really change anything. The goblin was framed and died, and we lifted the seal so he could leave. But have the crimes of those who framed him forgotten? ”
Ah Fu was stunned by Mo Xuan's words, he had never thought about this question. He scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Master Mo Xuan, what you said is too profound. I'm just a rough guy and don't understand these big things. But I think it's good as long as we do good deeds and have a clear conscience. ”
Mo Xuan looked at Ah Fu's honest smile, and his heart was also relieved. He understands that everyone has their own understanding and opinion, and it cannot be forced. But he also believes that as long as everyone can maintain a kind heart, the world will be a better place.
They continued on their way, and soon came to a village. The people in the village were hospitable, and when they saw Mo Xuan and Ah Fu, they came forward to greet them. After learning about Mo Xuan and Ah Fu's good deeds, they expressed their gratitude and admiration.
After spending some quality time in the village, Mo Xuan decided to continue his education. He said goodbye to Ah Fu and the people in the village and embarked on a new journey.
Along the way, Mo Xuan has experienced many ups and downs. He met all kinds of people and saw the cause and effect of good and evil in the world. He understands that life is like a long journey, and everyone is looking for their own home and value.
However, no matter what difficulties and setbacks he encountered, Mo Xuan never gave up on his dreams and beliefs. He firmly believes that as long as there is light in his heart, he can illuminate the way forward; As long as there is love in the heart, it can warm the world.
Time flies like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, Mo Xuan has become a world-famous scholar. He was very knowledgeable and virtuous, and was deeply respected and loved by the people. However, he never forgot his original intention and mission. He always paid attention to the world's ills and sufferings, and used his knowledge and strength to help those in need.
One day, Mo Xuan received a letter from afar. The letter reads: "Hello, Mr. Mo Xuan. I am the chief of the village you once saved. Our village is now facing a serious crisis and needs your help. Please come and save our home. ”
After reading the letter, Mo Xuan's heart was full of worry and uneasiness. He knew he couldn't just sit idly by. So, he packed his bags and set out on a journey to that village.
After a long journey, Mo Xuan finally came to that village. He saw that the whole village had been plunged into chaos and panic. The villagers are struggling to survive, their faces full of despair and helplessness.
Mo Xuan's heart ached, and he knew that he had to take action as soon as possible. He approached the village chief and asked what had happened. It turned out that the village's water source was polluted by a mysterious force, making it undrinkable for the villagers. And this force is still spreading, threatening the security of the entire village.
After listening to the village chief's story, Mo Xuan already had a countermeasure in his heart. He used his knowledge and wisdom to find the root cause of the polluted water source and succeeded in dismantling the mysterious power. The village's water source is clear and sweet again, and the villagers are back to living a peaceful life.
When the villagers learned that Mo Xuan had saved their home, they rushed forward to express their gratitude and respect for Mo Xuan. Mo Xuan looked at these simple villagers, and his heart was full of satisfaction and relief. He knew that all that he had done was worth it because he used his knowledge and strength to bring hope and light to the world.
As he left the village, Mo Xuan took a deep breath, looking at this beautiful land and people, his heart was full of emotion and thought. He understands that he still has a long way to go, and there are still many unknowns waiting for him to explore. But he also believes that as long as he has faith and courage in his heart, he can overcome all difficulties and move on.
So, Mo Xuan continued to embark on his path of study, moving towards an unknown future. His figure faded away in the setting sun, but his story and spirit remained forever in people's hearts.
