The Beginning of Strange Fate: The Encounter between a Kind Guy and a Mysterious Old Man
In the far east, there is a mysterious village shrouded in mist, called "Taoyuan Village". The four seasons here are like spring, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the villagers live a peaceful life without fighting with the world. However, in this tranquil village, there is an ancient and mysterious legend.
The young man in the village, named Ah Liang, is a hard-working, kind, optimistic young man. He has jet-black hair, bright eyes like stars, and always has a warm smile. Ah Liang's parents died young, and he lived alone, but he never complained about the injustice of fate, but faced the challenges of life with an optimistic attitude.
Early one morning, Ah Liang went to the mountains to chop wood as usual. Sunlight shines through the dense foliage and shines on his solid back. As he walked through a dense bamboo forest, he suddenly heard a faint moan. He followed the sound and saw an old man with gray hair and ragged clothes lying in the grass, his whole body seemed to be stripped of his clothes, and only a few strands of rags barely covered his body.
Ah Liang was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to check. He found that the old man was covered in scars, his face was pale, and he was obviously seriously injured. Without hesitation, he lifted the old man up, took off his coat and draped it over the old man, and then carried him on his back and walked towards the village.
Back in the village, Ah Liang invited the village doctor to treat the old man. After careful examination, the doctor found that although the old man was seriously injured, fortunately he did not hurt the vital point. He prescribed several prescriptions, instructed Ah Liang to give the old man medicine on time, and took care of his diet and daily life.
Under Ah Liang's careful care, the old man gradually recovered. He thanked Ah Liang gratefully, and told him that his name was "Yunyoudaoren" and that he was a Taoist priest who had traveled all over the world. He went astray and was killed by a group of wicked people, but fortunately Ah Liang rescued him and saved his life.
In order to thank Ah Liang for saving his life, the wandering Taoist decided to teach him some Taoism. Although Ah Liang didn't know anything about Taoism, out of respect and gratitude for the wandering Taoists, he studied humbly and practiced diligently. Gradually, he comprehended some of the essence of the Dao and began to cultivate under the guidance of the Yunyou Daoist.
In the process of cultivation, Ah Liang's character became more calm and introverted, and his kindness and optimism also infected the people around him. The villagers praised him as a blessed man, who not only saved the life of the Yunyou Daoist, but also got the opportunity to practice the Dao Fa.
Time flies, and months have passed in the blink of an eye. Yun Youdao has fully recovered from his injuries, and he is ready to leave Taoyuan Village to continue his travels. At the time of parting, he handed Ah Liang a mysterious jade pendant and told him that it was a treasure he had received from a master when he was young, called the "Jade Pendant of Marriage". The jade pendant is carved with an auspicious pattern of dragon and phoenix, implying a beautiful marriage. The wandering Taoist told Ah Liang that this jade pendant could bring him a beautiful marriage, but the specific situation depended on his fate and creation.
Ah Liang took the jade pendant, feeling both grateful and apprehensive. He knew that he was just an ordinary young man, and he never thought that there would be such an adventure. However, he also understood that this was a generous gift and expectation from the Yunyou Daoist to him. So, he solemnly hung the jade pendant on his chest and silently prayed that he would be able to meet the partner who would spend his life with him.
After the wandering Taoist left, Ah Liang continued his daily life. He still chops firewood, farms, and takes care of his family and neighbors every day. However, there was more expectation and longing in his heart. He began to pay more attention to the people and things around him, hoping to meet the person who was destined for him as soon as possible.
As the days passed, Ah Liang's kindness and diligence won the respect and love of the villagers. His smile was even brighter, as if the whole world had become a better place because of his presence. However, the expectation in his heart never came true. Until one day, a beautiful girl came into his life......
(End of first half of story)
Since the departure of the wandering Taoist, Ah Liang's life is still as peaceful as usual. He worked hard every day to live in harmony with the villagers, but he always had a desire for a good marriage in his heart. In the dead of night, he would take out the "marriage jade pendant" hanging on his chest, gently rub it against the moonlight, and silently recite the unknown name in his heart.
One day, a grand temple fair was held in the village, attracting villagers from all over the world to participate. Ah Liang, as in previous years, came to the temple fair site early to help set up the stalls and decorate the venue. Just as he was busy, a girl in a pink skirt with a peach blossom face walked into his sight.
The girl's name was Zhiruo, and she was an embroidery girl from a neighboring village. She is not only outstanding in appearance, but also ingenious, and the embroidered flowers, birds, fish and insects are lifelike and breathtaking. Zhiruo's arrival immediately aroused the onlookers and admiration of the villagers, and Ah Liang couldn't help but take a few more looks.
In the course of the temple fair, Ah Liang and Zhiruo met by chance several times. They talked so happily that it seemed that there was no end to what to talk about. Ah Liang is deeply attracted by Zhiruo's gentleness and talent, and Zhiruo also appreciates Ah Liang's kindness and hard work. Both of them had an inexplicable feeling in their hearts, but neither of them said it.
After the temple fair, Ah Liang and Zhiruo still kept in touch. They often meet for a walk by the river at the edge of the village, or work together in the fields. In those days, Ah Liang felt that his world had become so beautiful that even the air was filled with a sweet smell.
However, the good times were short-lived. When Zhiruo's family learned of her relationship with Ah Liang, they expressed their firm opposition. They believe that Ah Liang is just an ordinary farmer who cannot bring Zhiruo happiness and a stable life. Although Zhiruo loves Ah Liang deeply in her heart, she feels extremely painful and helpless in the face of the pressure and blame from her family.
After Ah Liang learned of Zhiruo's predicament, he had mixed feelings in his heart. He felt distressed for Zhiruo's situation, and also felt guilty for not being able to give Zhiruo a better future. However, he did not give up. He firmly believes that the power of love can overcome all difficulties, so he decides to prove his love for Zhiruo with his actions.
Ah Liang began to work harder, and he used the knowledge of Taoism imparted by the wandering Taoists to grow many precious herbs and flowers. He sold these herbs and flowers to merchants in the city for a good reward. He used the money to build a new house for Zhiruo's family and improve their living conditions. At the same time, he also used his kindness and diligence to win the understanding and support of Zhiruo's family.
Eventually, with Ah Liang's unremitting efforts, Zhiruo's family finally agreed to their marriage. The two held a grand wedding, and the entire Taoyuan Village was immersed in joy and blessings.
On the wedding night, Ah Liang took out the "marriage jade pendant" and gently put it on Zhiruo's neck. The jade pendant emitted a soft glow in the moonlight, as if it was also sending the most sincere blessings to the couple. Ah Liang and Zhiruo looked at each other and smiled, their hearts full of beautiful visions and expectations for the future.
Since then, Ah Liang and Zhiruo have lived happily ever after. Together, they run their family's herb and flower business, which not only makes their lives richer and richer, but also drives the development of the entire Taoyuan Village. Their love and happiness have become the most beautiful legend of Taoyuan Village, which has been passed down through the ages.
And the "marriage jade pendant" has also become a witness and symbol of their love, and has been praised by later generations as the "jade of strange fate". Whenever someone mentions this story, people sigh at the greatness of love and the magic of a beautiful marriage. And the story of Ah Liang and Zhiruo has also become an eternal warm light in people's hearts, illuminating the way forward. The continuation of the strange relationship: the bloom and inheritance of a beautiful marriage
As the years passed, the love story of Ah Liang and Zhiruo spread more and more widely in Taoyuan Village. Their love and tacit understanding have become a good story talked about by the villagers, and the "marriage jade pendant" has become a symbol of the love between the two, and is respected by the villagers as the "jade of strange fate".
Ah Liang and Zhiruo not only enjoy their love for each other, but also strive to pass on this happiness to the people around them. They often help poor households in the village, and convey kindness and love with their practical actions. Their kindness touched the villagers, and everyone followed suit, and Taoyuan Village became more harmonious and beautiful.
However, the road of life is always full of unknowns and challenges. One day, a sudden plague swept through the village, and many villagers fell ill. Ah Liang and Zhi Ruo were anxious, and they knew they had to stand up and do something for the villagers.
Ah Liang used the medicinal herbs he had grown, combined with the knowledge of Taoism taught by the wandering Taoists, and began to develop a prescription for the plague. He was busy day and night, constantly experimenting and adjusting prescriptions. Zhiruo, on the other hand, uses her medical skills and gentle heart to take care of the seriously ill villagers, bringing them hope and comfort.
After several days of hard work, Ah Liang finally developed a cure for the plague. With Zhiruo's help, they distributed the prescriptions to the villagers and personally instructed them on how to decoction and take the medicine. Gradually, the villagers' condition began to improve, and the plague was effectively controlled.
The catastrophe of this plague made Ah Liang and Zhiruo more deeply aware of their responsibilities and missions. They decided to pass on their medical skills and Taoist knowledge to the young people in the village, so that they could inherit and carry them forward.
So, Ah Liang and Zhiruo opened a school in the village to teach medical skills and Taoist knowledge. They teach in person, patiently guide, and pass on their experience and wisdom to young people without reservation. These young people not only learned medical skills and Taoist knowledge, but also learned the spirit of kindness, courage and responsibility from Ah Liang and Zhiruo.
Over time, these young people grew into the backbone of the village. They used their medical skills and Taoist knowledge to treat the villagers and eliminate harm, guarding the peace and happiness of Taoyuan Village. And Ah Liang and Zhiruo continue to support them silently, interpreting the true meaning of love and happiness with their actions.
In the old age of Ah Liang and Zhiruo, they still walked hand in hand by the small river at the edge of the village, reminiscing about the bits and pieces of their youth. There were happy smiles on their faces, as if time had never left a mark on them. And that piece of "Jade of Strange Fate" still hangs around Zhiruo's neck, exuding a soft light, witnessing the best time of their lives.
In the end, Ah Liang and Zhiruo passed away one after another, but their love story and the legend of the "Jade of Strange Fortune" remained in Taoyuan Village forever. Whenever someone mentions this story, people sigh at the greatness of love and the magic of a beautiful marriage. And the descendants of Ah Liang and Zhiruo have also inherited their kindness and brave spirit, and continue to guard this beautiful land and their happy home. The End of Strange Fate: The heirloom jade pendant and the guardian of the family
After the death of Ah Liang and Zhiruo, their story did not end there, but continued to be passed on in a new way. Their children and grandchildren have not only inherited their kindness, courage and wisdom, but also inherited their deep feelings for Taoyuan Village.
Among them, the most eye-catching is the legendary "Jade of Strange Fate". After the death of Ah Liang and Zhiruo, this jade pendant was solemnly passed on to their eldest son, Wen Xuan.
Wen Xuan is a smart and wise young man, and he knows that this jade pendant is not only a family heirloom, but also carries the love story of his parents and the glory of the family. Therefore, he decided to make this jade pendant the spiritual pillar of the family, and vowed to protect it while continuing to carry forward the fine traditions of the family.
Over time, Wenxuan also became a respected healer in Taoyuan Village. He used his medical skills to heal countless patients and won the deep respect of the villagers. And whenever someone asks about the origin of his medical heritage, he will always affectionately tell the love story of his parents Ah Liang and Zhiruo, as well as the legend of the "jade of strange fate".
Wenxuan's narration has made more people understand the greatness of Ah Liang and Zhiruo, and also made the story of "The Jade of Strange Fate" more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. This jade pendant has not only become a symbol of Taoyuan Village, but also a kind of faith and sustenance in people's hearts.
However, the good times did not last long, and a sudden disaster once again broke the tranquility of Taoyuan Village. A massive earthquake swept through the village, collapsing houses, destroying farmland, and leaving the villagers in unprecedented predicament.
In this time of crisis, Wenxuan stepped forward. He led his family's children and grandchildren, as well as the young adults of the village, to devote themselves to the post-disaster reconstruction work. They worked day and night, repairing houses, rebuilding farms, and rebuilding homes for the villagers with their own hands.
In the process of reconstruction, Winshare has always brought the "Jade of Strange Fortune" with him. He firmly believes that this jade pendant can bring them strength and hope. Whenever he encountered difficulties, he would caress the jade pendant and pray silently, as if he could draw the strength and wisdom of his parents from it.
With the joint efforts of Wenxuan and the villagers, Taoyuan Village has gradually regained its former vitality and vitality. The villagers moved back into their restored houses, and the fields were once again overgrown with green crops. And the "Jade of Strange Fortune" also shines even brighter in this disaster, as if it really has some kind of magical power, guarding this land and the people here.
After the post-disaster reconstruction was completed, Winshare decided to pass on the story of the "Jade of Strange Fortune" and the family's guardian spirit from generation to generation. He built a small ancestral hall in the village dedicated to this legendary jade pendant. On certain days every year, he would lead his children and grandchildren to pay homage to the achievements and dedication of his ancestors, and at the same time remind himself to always remember the mission and responsibility of the family.
Today, the "Jade of Strange Fortune" has become a cultural symbol and spiritual sustenance of Taoyuan Village. It not only witnessed the great love between Ah Liang and Zhiruo, but also witnessed the process of Wenxuan and the villagers working together to rebuild their homes. This jade pendant will continue to inherit the spirit of kindness, courage and wisdom, and inspire future generations to continue to move forward and create a better future.
