The son of an outsider
In a distant ancient village, there is a legend about the son of a foreigner. This member's surname is Li, known as Li Yuanwai, and his family is wealthy, and he is one of the richest families in the village. However, Li Yuanwai only has one son under his knees, named Li Hao, but he is congenitally deficient and frail and sickly.
Li Hao has been pale and thin since he was a child, as if a gust of wind could blow him down. For the sake of his health, his parents searched for famous doctors and bought all kinds of rare medicinal materials at great expense, but Li Hao's condition never improved. People in the village talked about it, saying that Li Hao was a sick man, and it would be difficult to become a big man in the future.
However, Li Hao is a kind-hearted child. Although he was frail and sickly, he had a gentle personality and was kind to people. Whenever someone in the village needed help, he always didn't hesitate to lend a hand. His good deeds became a good story in the village, and people's perception of him changed a little.
One day, Li Hao was walking by the river outside the village when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves. He looked up, and saw a fast horse galloping towards him, and immediately sat a ragged stranger with an anxious face. The horse ran too fast and suddenly lost control and threw the man off his horse.
Seeing this, Li Hao was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to check. I saw the man lying on the ground, groaning in pain, apparently seriously injured. Although Li Hao was weak, he did not hesitate to pick up the man at this moment and run towards the village.
Li Hao tried his best to finally carry the man back home. He asked the servant to bring in Langzhong from the village to treat the man. After Lang Zhong's careful treatment, the man's injuries gradually improved.
During the period of recuperation, Li Hao took care of the stranger meticulously. He boiled medicine, fed food, and even stayed by the bedside all night, for fear that the man would make a mistake. The man's heart was full of gratitude, and he was full of praise for Li Hao's kindness and bravery.
One day, the man recovered from his injuries and bid farewell to Li Hao. At the time of parting, he took out a crystal clear jade pendant from his arms, handed it to Li Hao and said, "Little brother, you saved my life, I can't repay it." This jade pendant is a treasure of my family, which has the effect of driving away evil and avoiding evil. If you wear it on your body, it may help you improve your physique. ”
Li Hao took the jade pendant, only to feel a warm current coming from the palm of his hand, and he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in his heart. He thanked the man and watched him leave.
Since wearing that jade pendant, Li Hao's body has miraculously improved. His complexion grew rosy, and his body grew stronger. When the people in the village saw this, they were all surprised and praised the miraculous effect of the jade pendant.
However, Li Hao knew that all this was not the credit of Yu Pei. He understands that he was able to recover because his heart was full of kindness and courage. He was grateful to the stranger for saving his life, and he was grateful for the good fortune that the jade pendant had brought him. But he knows better that he must cherish this hard-won health and happiness, continue to do good deeds, and help those in need.
As time passed, Li Hao's good deeds spread more and more widely in the village. He not only helped the poor in the village build houses and buy farm tools, but also sponsored the children in the village to go to school. His good deeds have touched countless people and completely changed people's perception of him. People no longer call him a "sick seedling", but respectfully call him a "living bodhisattva".
However, just as Li Hao's prestige was growing, a sudden change shattered the tranquility of the village.
One day, a stranger dressed as a Taoist priest came to the village. He is armed with a peachwood sword, claiming to be able to subdue demons and eliminate demons, exorcise evil spirits and avoid evil. Seeing this, the people in the village came over one after another. When the Taoist priest saw everyone watching, he pretended to be mysterious and said: "Poor Dao watched the sky at night and found that this place was full of demonic energy. If the evil spirits are not eliminated as soon as possible, the whole village will be harmed. ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately panicked. They asked the Taoist priest for advice on how to get rid of demons. The Taoist priest pondered for a moment and then said, "Poor Dao needs a man with a pure yang body as an assistant to successfully eliminate the demon. ”
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what the so-called "pure yang body" was. The Taoist priest explained, "A pure yang body is a person with extremely strong yang energy. Such people are extremely rare in the population, but there is one person in this village who meets this condition. ”
When everyone heard this, they all guessed who the pure yang body that the Taoist priest was talking about. The Taoist priest smiled slightly, and his eyes went straight to Li Hao who was standing in the crowd. He pointed at Li Hao and said, "This person is the pure yang body that the poor Dao said. ”
When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar. They all looked at Li Hao, their eyes full of surprise and doubt. And Li Hao was confused by this sudden change and didn't know what to do.
When the Taoist priest saw everyone's reaction, he took the opportunity to say, "Poor Dao needs this little brother to help me get rid of demons." If the evil spirit is successfully removed, it will not only bless the whole village with peace and well, but also make the little brother's body healthier. ”
When everyone heard this, they persuaded Li Hao to agree to the Taoist priest's request. Although Li Hao had many doubts in his heart, he finally nodded after looking at the expectant eyes of the villagers and the assurances of the Taoist priest.
In this way, Li Hao followed the Taoist priest and began his journey to eliminate demons. The Taoist priest claims to be surnamed Zhang, and he is a demon subduing Taoist who travels all over the world, and he is well-informed and can pinch and calculate. He was holding a peachwood sword, wearing a gossip robe, and he was chanting words along the way, looking quite mysterious.
Daoist Zhang took Li Hao to every corner of the village, stopping everywhere he went, observing carefully, as if he was looking for something. Although Li Hao was curious, he didn't ask much, just silently followed behind the Taoist priest.
After several days of searching, Daoist Zhang finally stopped in front of an abandoned house. He pointed to the mansion and said to Li Hao: "This place is the heaviest demon, and it must be the hiding place of the demon. ”
When Li Hao heard this, he couldn't help but get nervous in his heart. He followed Daoist Zhang into the house, only to see that the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, cobwebs, and an eerie aura came to his face. He clung to Daoist Zhang's sleeve, for fear that he would get lost.
Seeing this, Daoist Zhang comforted: "Little brother, don't be afraid, there is a poor road here, and I will be able to protect you." As he spoke, he took out his peachwood sword and brandished it in the courtyard. With the flickering of the sword light, the demonic energy in the courtyard seemed to be dispelled a little.
However, at this moment, a gust of wind blew, and a terrible cry suddenly came from the courtyard. Li Hao was so frightened that he trembled and almost fell to the ground. Daoist Zhang held the peachwood sword tightly and looked around vigilantly.
The cry got closer and closer, and I saw a female ghost with a disheveled hair and a hideous face slowly walking out of the darkness. Her eyes were red, and there was blood hanging from the corners of her mouth, and she looked terrifying. Li Hao was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs were weak, and he could barely stand.
Seeing this, Daoist Zhang shouted: "The demon is rampant!" As he spoke, he swung his sword and stabbed at the female ghost. However, the female ghost did not seem to be afraid of the Taoist priest's peachwood sword, and she dodged the Taoist priest's attack with a flash of her figure. Then, she let out a scream and threw herself at Li Hao.
Li Hao was so frightened that he closed his eyes and waited for death to come. However, at this moment, the jade pendant on his chest suddenly shone with a dazzling light. The light instantly forced the female ghost back a few steps, making it impossible for her to get close to Li Hao.
Seeing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Daoist Zhang's eyes. He looked at the jade pendant on Li Hao's chest, and then at the female ghost, and seemed to understand something. He put away the peachwood sword and said to Li Hao: "Little brother, the jade pendant on your chest is a thing of the immortal family, which can ward off evil spirits and drive away ghosts. It seems that this trip to eliminate demons is none other than you. ”
When Li Hao heard this, he was shocked in his heart. He looked at the jade pendant on his chest, and then at Daoist Zhang, and an inexplicable courage surged in his heart. He took a deep breath, puffed up his chest, and said to Daoist Zhang: "Daoist, I'm willing to give it a try!" ”
Daoist Zhang nodded, took out a worn-out scripture book from his arms, handed it to Li Hao, and said, "This is the "Taishang Induction Chapter", which is a treasure book for subduing demons and eliminating demons. If you hold this sutra and recite the incantation according to the above method, you will be able to drive the immortal power in the jade pendant and expel the demons from the village. ”
Li Hao took the scriptures, only to feel a wave of righteousness rushing to his face. He opened the book and saw that it was densely filled with incantations and talismans. He took a deep breath and began to recite the mantra as described in the scriptures.
With the chanting of the incantation, the jade pendant on Li Hao's chest once again shone with dazzling light. The light grew stronger and stronger, dispelling the darkness around them. Seeing this, the female ghost let out a terrible scream, and her figure began to blur.
Seeing this, Li Hao was overjoyed. He continued to chant the incantation, driving the immortal power in the jade pendant to attack the female ghost. Under the attack of the fairy power, the female ghost's body became lighter and lighter, and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated into the air.
As the female ghost dissipated, the demonic energy in the village also dissipated without a trace. Seeing this, the villagers cheered. They all came forward and thanked Li Hao. Li Hao waved his hand modestly and said, "This is all the credit of the Dao Leader and Yu Pei, I just did what I should do." ”
Hearing this, Daoist Zhang nodded with a smile and said, "Little brother is humble. Although you are frail and sickly, you are kind-hearted and courageous. You can save people's lives, get rid of demons and exorcise demons, and you have proven that you are extraordinary. Poor Dao believes that your future will be brighter. ”
Li Hao listened to Daoist Zhang's words, and couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart. He looked at Daoist Zhang gratefully, his heart full of respect and gratitude.
However, at this moment, Daoist Zhang's face suddenly changed, and he pointed to the jade pendant on Li Hao's chest and said, "Little brother, although your jade pendant can ward off evil spirits and drive away ghosts, the power contained in it is very powerful. If it is obtained by those who have evil intentions, it will surely cause great disaster. You must take care of it and do not let outsiders know its secrets. ”
When Li Hao heard this, he was shocked. He hurriedly held the jade pendant tightly and assured Daoist Zhang: "Don't worry, Daoist Chief, I will definitely take care of this jade pendant." ”
Daoist Zhang nodded, and taught Li Hao some cultivation and demon subjugation techniques. Li Hao listened to it fascinated, and his heart was full of yearning and longing for the unknown world.
"The path of cultivation is long and difficult, and it takes perseverance to achieve something." Daoist Zhang's voice was calm and profound, as if it contained endless wisdom, "Although you are weak, you have a strong heart, and you are a good seedling for cultivation." I only hope that you can not forget your original intention and forge ahead in the future. ”
Li Hao's heart was surging when he heard this, he bowed deeply, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your guidance, I will remember it." ”
Daoist Zhang nodded, then turned to the villagers and said, "This trip to eliminate demons can only succeed with the help of Li Hao's little brother." I hope that you will treat him well in the future, and do not despise him because of his infirmity. ”
The villagers nodded yes one after another, and their eyes as they looked at Li Hao were full of respect and gratitude. A warm current surged in Li Hao's heart, and he felt unprecedented warmth and respect.
Daoist Zhang turned to Li Hao again and said, "Poor Dao is about to leave and continue to travel in all directions. Come to me if you need it. As he spoke, he handed Li Hao a bag, "This is the talisman that Poor Dao gave you, which can keep you safe." ”
Li Hao took the bag, and his heart was full of gratitude. He knew that this Taoist priest was not only his savior, but also his guide on the path of cultivation. He bowed deeply and watched the Taoist priest leave.
After the Taoist priest left, Li Hao's life changed dramatically. He is no longer a sick man who is despised by others, but has become a hero in the eyes of the villagers. However, instead of being complacent, he practiced and studied harder.
He got up early every morning to practice, and persevered no matter the wind or rain. He was familiar with the "Taishang Induction Chapter" and learned various spells and talismans to subdue demons and eliminate demons. He also consulted the village elders about various folklore and stories to increase his knowledge and experience.
In the process of practicing, Li Hao gradually discovered the changes in his body. His body became more and more robust, and his aura became more and more powerful. His heart has also become purer and more determined, and he is able to feel the subtle changes in the world around him.
However, just as he was basking in the joy of his spiritual practice, an unexpected news shattered his peaceful life.
One day, an elder in the village hurried over and told Li Hao the shocking news: "A fierce demon beast has appeared in the mountains and forests outside the village, and it is causing chaos everywhere and harming innocent people. The villagers are powerless to resist and can only ask for your help. ”
When Li Hao heard this, he was shocked. He knew that the appearance of this demon beast would inevitably bring disaster to the village. He did not hesitate to agree to the elder's request and decided to go to the mountains and forests to eliminate demons.
However, when he was about to set off, he found that his jade pendant was missing. He searched everywhere, but could not find any trace of the jade pendant. He was very anxious in his heart, knowing that without the protection of the jade pendant, it would be difficult for him to resist the attack of the demon beast.
At this moment, a mysterious voice sounded in his ears: "Child, your courage and kindness have been recognized by Yu Pei. Now, I will teach you the power of the jade pendant, so that you can face the demon beast alone. ”
When Li Hao heard this, he was overjoyed. He felt a powerful surge of power over his body, filling him with confidence and courage. He said goodbye to the elder and went to the mountains and forests alone to eliminate demons.
In the mountains and forests, monsters are raging. It is massive and powerful, and can wreak havoc with every attack. However, Li Hao was undaunted. He used the power imparted by the jade pendant to start a fierce battle with the demon beast.
After a fierce battle, Li Hao finally succeeded in defeating the demon beast. He sat on the ground tiredly, looking at the fallen body of the demon beast, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. He knew that this battle had not only allowed him to win, but also made him grow a lot.
However, when he was about to leave the mountains and forests, he found an unexpected person appearing in front of him - the Taoist priest Zhang Zhenren who had saved him. Zhang Zhenren looked at him with a smile and said, "Child, you are doing a good job. You've grown into a true hero. ”
Li Hao looked at Zhang Zhenren with some surprise and asked, "Dao Chief, why are you here?" ”
Zhang Zhenren smiled and said, "I've been secretly observing you. I know you've grown into a respectable person. Now, I have an important task for you. ”
Li Hao asked, "What task?" ”
Zhang Zhenren said in a deep voice: "This world is full of evil and darkness. As a hero, you'll have to keep going and protect those in need. Are you up for the challenge? ”
Li Hao nodded without hesitation and said, "I am willing!" ”
Zhang Zhenren smiled and nodded, "Very good." Then, you can continue on your spiritual path. There is still a long way to go, and you need to work harder to learn and grow. ”
After speaking, Zhang Zhenren turned into a golden light and disappeared into the air. Li Hao stood in place, his heart full of gratitude and respect. He knew that this Taoist priest was not only his savior, but also a guiding light on his spiritual path.
From then on, Li Hao continued his spiritual path. He walks the rivers and lakes, excludes demons and exorcises ghosts, and guards those in need. His fame spread more and more, and he became a hero and role model in the hearts of the people.
However, in his heart, there is always a suspense unsolved - what kind of secret does that jade pendant contain? Where does its power come from? And the answer to all this may only be revealed someday in the future...... As the sun rises and the moon sets, the years go by, and Li Hao has become more mature and deep in the rivers and lakes. His name, sung in people's mouths, has become a legendary existence. However, the secret of that jade pendant has always been like a fog, haunting his heart, and he can't let go.
One day, Li Hao traveled to a remote ancient town. This ancient town has a long history, with blue bricks and gray tiles, and a long ancient charm. Recently, however, strange things have happened frequently, and it is said that ghosts often haunt the people at night, disturbing the peace of the people. Li Hao's heart moved, and he felt that this was a good opportunity to explore the secret of the jade pendant.
He went deep into the ancient town and found that it was really unusual. When night falls, the ancient town seems to be shrouded in a layer of mysterious power, with gusting winds and ghosts. However, Li Hao was not afraid, he silently recited a spell in his heart, urging the power of the jade pendant, so that he could see those things that ordinary people could not see.
With the blessing of the jade pendant, Li Hao's vision pierced through the darkness, and he saw those ghosts wandering around the ancient town, some crying, some roaring, and some looking for something. Li Hao's heart moved, and he felt that these ghosts might be related to the secret of the jade pendant.
He followed a ghost to the depths of the ancient town. There is an ancient temple here, which is dilapidated but exudes an air of mystery. The ghost stopped in front of the temple and then slowly disappeared. Li Hao was overjoyed in his heart, feeling that this was the key to revealing the secret of the jade pendant.
When he walked into the temple, he saw that the temple was empty, except for a dilapidated statue standing quietly in the center. Li Hao looked around and suddenly found that the idol was holding a yellowed ancient book in his hand. He stepped forward and carefully removed the ancient book.
The cover of the ancient book has been blurred, but Li Hao can still make out the handwriting on it - "The Secret Record of Jade Pendant". He was overjoyed and felt that this was the clue he had been looking for.
He opened the ancient book and saw that the origin and secret of the jade pendant were recorded on it. It turns out that this jade pendant is a treasure left by a powerful man in ancient times, and it contains infinite power. It can not only ward off evil spirits and exorcise ghosts, but also help people to practice and improve their cultivation. However, the power of the jade pendant is not easy to control, and only those with pure hearts and firm courage can truly exert its power.
When Li Hao read this, he suddenly realized in his heart. He remembered the difficulties and challenges he had experienced along the way, and it was these experiences that had made him more resilient and pure. He understood the reason why Yu Pei chose himself, and also understood why he was able to become a hero in people's hearts.
However, there is another passage in the ancient book that made Li Hao fall into contemplation. It reads: "Although the power of the jade pendant is strong, it is easy to cause trouble if it is not used properly." Only those who have the world in their hearts and are compassionate can harness their power and not cause trouble. ”
Li Hao pondered for a long time and finally understood the meaning of this passage. He realized that although he had the power of the jade pendant, it was more important to have a compassionate heart. Only in this way can you truly become a hero and protect those in need.
He walked out of the temple with determination and faith in his heart. He knows he still has a long way to go, but no matter what difficulties and challenges he encounters, he will persevere. Because he believes that as long as there is love, courage, and faith in his heart, nothing can stop him from moving forward.
In the following days, Li Hao continued his spiritual path. He walks the rivers and lakes, excludes demons and exorcises ghosts, and guards those in need. With his actions, he proved what a true hero and role model is. His name and deeds were spread and became a legend in the hearts of the people.
However, in his heart, there is always one belief that has not changed - that is, to be a hero who cares for the world and compassion for others. He knows that this path will not be easy to follow, but he is willing to give everything for this belief.
Time flies, and decades have passed in the blink of an eye. Li Hao had grown from a young cultivator to a gray-haired old man. However, his eyes remained firm and bright, and his heart remained pure and noble.
In his later years, he recorded his lifelong spiritual experience and insights and wrote a book called "The Biography of Jade Pei". This book not only records his fate and experience with Yu Pei, but also expounds the true meaning of cultivation and the meaning of life. It has become a valuable wealth and source of inspiration for future generations on their spiritual path.
When Li Hao was about to die, he passed on his jade pendant to a young cultivator. He told the young man, "This jade pendant contains infinite power and secrets. But remember, the true power does not come from the jade pendant itself, but from your heart. Only those who have the world in their hearts and are compassionate can truly control their power and not cause trouble. ”
After saying this, Li Hao closed his eyes peacefully. Although his life was full of ups and downs and challenges, he always adhered to his beliefs and pursuits. With his actions, he proved what a true hero and role model is. His name and deeds will always be remembered and celebrated.
