When a woman got married, a Taoist priest stopped a curious scholar
In ancient times, there was a mountain range shrouded in mist called "Green Mountain". There is a clear stream in the mountains, and next to the stream sits a small village called "Taoyuan Village". The four seasons here are like spring, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is no dispute with the world.
There is a family surnamed Li in the village, and there is a daughter named Li Wan'er. Li Wan'er is twenty-eight years old, outstanding, smart and clever, and is the dream couple of the men in the village. However, she already has a place in her heart, and she is in love with Zhao Zixuan, a scholar in the village, and the two are childhood sweethearts, and the two have no guesses.
This day is the wedding day of Li Waner and Zhao Zixuan. The whole village is decorated with lights, gongs and drums, and is full of joy. However, just as the welcoming procession was about to arrive in front of Li's house, a Taoist priest dressed in a Taoist robe and holding a dust whisk suddenly appeared and stopped the welcoming procession.
This Taoist priest has a thin face and bright eyes, he stands in the middle of the road, staring at Li Wan'er's sedan chair like a torch, and there are words in his mouth: "The destiny is difficult to violate, and the marriage is determined." Li Wan'er, you are destined not to be worthy of this son, so go back with me. ”
As soon as these words came out, the scene was suddenly silent. The villagers looked at each other, at a loss. Li Wan'er was also shocked when she heard the words of the Taoist priest in the sedan chair. Although she didn't know the origin and intentions of this Taoist priest, her intuition told her that this matter was not trivial.
At this moment, Zhao Zixuan squeezed out of the crowd, he walked up to the Taoist priest, and bowed his hand and said: "Daoist, under Zhao Zixuan, and Li Wan'er are childhood sweethearts, and they are happy with each other." Today is our wedding day, why did the Taoist suddenly stop it? Please also be explicit. ”
The Taoist priest glanced at Zhao Zixuan and said with a slight smile: "Zhao Zixuan, although you are talented, you lack concentration. Li Wan'er is a fairy in the sky, and the marriage between her and you is a blessing from the previous life. However, her true destiny is not you, but someone else. ”
When Zhao Zixuan heard this, his heart was shocked. He knew that Li Wan'er's identity was extraordinary, but he never thought that she was actually a fairy in the sky. He turned his head to look at the sedan chair, only to see the sedan curtain move lightly, revealing Li Wan'er's beautiful face. Her eyes glistened with tears, and she seemed to be feeling lost and helpless by this sudden change.
Just then, a young scholar walked out of the crowd. His name is Zhang Hanlin, and he is a new teacher in the village. He was gentle and knowledgeable, and was deeply respected by the villagers. He walked up to the Taoist priest and bowed his hand and said, "Daoist, under Zhang Hanlin." If Li Wan'er is really a fairy in the sky, then who is her true destiny? Please also ask the governor to make it clear. ”
The Taoist priest glanced at Zhang Hanlin, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes. He said slowly: "Zhang Hanlin, you have deep concentration and excellent mind. Li Wan'er's true destiny is you. In your previous life, you two were a pair of golden boys and girls in the sky, and they were demoted to the mortal world for violating the rules of heaven. Now that the calamity is over, you should return to the heavenly realm and continue your frontier. ”
As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar. The villagers talked one after another, some felt sorry for Zhao Zixuan, and some felt envious for Zhang Hanlin. And Zhao Zixuan was pale and stood on the spot. Although he loves Li Wan'er deeply in his heart, he also understands that the fate between himself and her is over.
Li Wan'er heard the words of the Taoist priest in the sedan chair, and her heart was also mixed. Although she has a deep affection for Zhao Zixuan, she also understands that as a fairy, she can't stay with him after all. She sighed secretly in her heart, only wishing that she could successfully survive this catastrophe and reunite with the True Son of Heaven in the Heavenly Realm.
Seeing this, the Taoist priest smiled slightly, waved the dust, and saw a golden light falling from the sky, enveloping Li Wan'er's sedan chair. The villagers exclaimed one after another, only to see that Li Wan'er in the golden light became more and more beautiful and moving, as if she had really become a fairy in the sky. The Taoist priest turned to Zhang Hanlin and said, "Zhang Hanlin, come with me." After speaking, he took Zhang Hanlin into a puff of green smoke and disappeared into the sky.
Zhao Zixuan looked at the sky blankly, his heart full of bitterness and helplessness. He knew that the fate between himself and Li Wan'er had come to an end. He silently turned away, but his heart was already turbulent and he couldn't calm down.
Ever since the Taoist priest disappeared into the sky with Zhang Hanlin and Li Wan'er, Taoyuan Village has been shrouded in a mysterious and solemn atmosphere. The villagers talked about this strange incident, some lamented that fate was predestined, and some were skeptical of the Taoist priest's words.
Zhao Zixuan returned home, with mixed feelings in his heart. He sat in the study, looking at the sky outside the window in a daze, his heart was full of longing and reluctance for Li Wan'er. However, he also understood that the fate between himself and Li Wan'er was over, and he could only silently wish her happiness.
Just when Zhao Zixuan was immersed in memories and sentimentality, there was a sudden knock on the door. When he opened the door, he saw a young scholar standing outside the door, it was Zhang Hanlin. Zhao Zixuan was shocked, and he didn't know why Zhang Hanlin came to the door.
Zhang Hanlin looked at Zhao Zixuan, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes. He opened his mouth and said, "Brother Zhao, I came today to apologize to you. ”
Zhao Zixuan was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "Apologize?" Why? ”
Zhang Hanlin sighed and said, "I know that you and Wan'er have a deep relationship, but I can't help it. Wan'er she ...... She really is a fairy in the sky. The fate between her and me was predestined in a previous life, and I couldn't resist it. But I don't want to hurt you because of this, so I hope you understand. ”
Zhao Zixuan listened to Zhang Hanlin's words, and although he was bitter in his heart, he also understood that this was the destiny of heaven. He nodded and said, "I understand." The fate between you and Wan'er is predestined, and I can't change it. I only hope that you will be happy in the heavenly realm. ”
Zhang Hanlin looked at Zhao Zixuan gratefully and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhao." I'll do everything I can to make Wan'er happy. Also, I have one more request for today. ”
Zhao Zixuan asked, "What request?" ”
Zhang Hanlin said: "I want to ask you to help me write a letter to Wan'er. I know she is in the heavenly realm now, but I want to convey my thoughts and blessings to her through your brushstrokes. ”
Zhao Zixuan's heart moved, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll help you write." ”
So, Zhao Zixuan sat at the desk, picked up the pen, and turned Zhang Hanlin's thoughts and blessings to Li Wan'er into words and wrote a letter of affection. After writing it, he handed the letter to Zhang Hanlin.
Zhang Hanlin took the letter, tears flashing in his eyes. He bowed deeply to Zhao Zixuan, then turned to leave.
Time flies, and years have passed in the blink of an eye. Zhao Zixuan has become a highly respected elder in the village, and Zhang Hanlin and Li Wan'er have also lived happily in the heavenly realm.
One day, when Zhao Zixuan was flipping through ancient books in the study, he suddenly found a yellowed letter. He opened it and saw that it was the letter he wrote to Li Wan'er for Zhang Hanlin back then. The handwriting on the letter was already a little blurry, but Zhao Zixuan could still feel the emotions and blessings contained in the letter.
He gently stroked the letter paper, and an inexplicable emotion welled up in his heart. He remembered all kinds of past events between himself and Li Wan'er and Zhang Hanlin, and he couldn't help but feel a deep longing and emotion in his heart.
At this moment, a faint fragrance of flowers suddenly wafted from the window. Zhao Zixuan looked up and saw a beautiful flower blooming outside the window, and there was a faint light in the flower. His heart moved, as if he saw Li Wan'er's familiar figure smiling in the light.
Zhao Zixuan smiled slightly, knowing that this was Li Wan'er's response to him in the Heavenly Realm. His heart was full of gratitude and blessings, and he silently prayed that Li Wan'er and Zhang Hanlin would be happy forever in the heavenly realm.
Since Zhang Hanlin left Zhao Zixuan's house, life in Taoyuan Village seems to have returned to peace. However, Zhao Zixuan's heart was never completely calm, and he often remembered the time spent with Zhang Hanlin and Li Wan'er, as well as the letter he wrote by himself.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Zhao Zixuan is already a gray-haired old man. He still lives alone in the old house in the village, reading and writing every day, living a simple and quiet life. His students often come to visit him and listen to him tell stories from the past, including the legend of Li Wan'er, Zhang Hanlin and himself.
One day, Zhao Zixuan was practicing calligraphy in the study when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside the door. He looked up and saw a young scholar walk in. The scholar's face was delicate, and his eyes shone with curiosity and admiration.
The scholar respectfully saluted Zhao Zixuan and said, "Mr. Zhao, junior Zhang Yun, I have heard your name for a long time, and I have come to visit today." ”
Zhao Zixuan smiled slightly and motioned for Zhang Yun to sit down. He saw the curiosity in Zhang Yun's eyes, so he took the initiative to ask, "Are you interested in the story of me, Wan'er, and Hanlin?" ”
Zhang Yun nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Zhao." Ever since I was a child, I have listened to this story from the villagers, and my heart has always been filled with curiosity and admiration. I wonder, what do you think about that time? ”
Zhao Zixuan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "That past, for me, is both a regret and a blessing. Regrettably, Wan'er and I were not able to spend our lives together; But the blessing is that she has found the happiness that truly belongs to her. Hanlin and I, although there have been disputes and conflicts, we both blessed Wan'er's happiness. ”
After Zhang Yun heard this, his heart was deeply touched. He asked, "Mr. Zhao, have you ever thought about seeing Wan'er and Hanlin again?" ”
Zhao Zixuan shook his head and said, "Life is like a dream, fate is determined. The fate between me and Wan'er and Hanlin is doomed and cannot be changed. As much as I wanted to see them again, I also knew that it was just an obsession in my heart. I believe that they must be doing well in the heavenly realm, and that is enough. ”
After Zhang Yun heard this, his respect for Zhao Zixuan in his heart was even deeper. After saying goodbye to Zhao Zixuan, he left the study. However, as he left, he didn't notice that in the corner of the study, the yellowed letter suddenly emitted a faint light.
A few days later, Zhang Yun came to Zhao Zixuan's house again. He looked excited, and held a crystal clear jade pendant tightly in his hand. He told Zhao Zixuan that this jade pendant had been discovered by accident in the mountains, and that it was engraved with some strange symbols. When he touched the jade pendant, he seemed to see the figures of Li Wan'er and Zhang Hanlin in the heavenly realm, and also heard their voices.
After Zhao Zixuan heard this, he was shocked. He took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, and sure enough, he found that there were some strange symbols engraved on it. He closed his eyes and felt the breath of the jade pendant with his heart, as if he could really feel the existence of Li Wan'er and Zhang Hanlin.
Zhao Zixuan knew that this jade pendant was a token left to him by Wan'er and Hanlin. Although they are in the heavenly realm, they still miss this former home and their relatives here. Zhao Zixuan's heart was full of gratitude and warmth, and he decided to treasure this jade pendant as an eternal memorial between them.
Since Zhang Yun brought that magical jade pendant, Zhao Zixuan's life seems to have been injected with new vitality. He would often stare at the jade pendant, as if he could see Li Wan'er and Zhang Hanlin's happy life in the heavenly realm from the crystal clear jade.
Zhao Zixuan decided to pass on this blessing to everyone in the village. He began to become more actively involved in the affairs of the village, not only teaching the village children to read and write, but also personally instructing them in farming and breeding to help them improve their lives.
Under his leadership, Taoyuan Village gradually became more prosperous and affluent. The villagers' respect and love for Zhao Zixuan has also become more and more profound, and they have regarded Zhao Zixuan as the spiritual pillar and soul of the village.
However, Zhao Zixuan was not satisfied with this. He knew that true happiness lies not only in material prosperity, but also in spiritual abundance and harmony. Therefore, he began to advocate that the villagers care for each other and live in harmony, so that Taoyuan Village can become a home full of love and warmth.
Over time, Taoyuan Village's fame gradually spread throughout the surrounding mountain villages and towns. More and more people are coming here, hoping to see Zhao Zixuan's style and feel the charm of Taoyuan Village.
One day, an elderly Taoist priest came to Taoyuan Village. He claimed to be a friend of Li Wan'er and Zhang Hanlin in the Heavenly Realm, and specially came to look for Zhao Zixuan.
The Taoist priest told Zhao Zixuan that Li Wan'er and Zhang Hanlin were very happy in the Heavenly Realm, but they had been thinking about Zhao Zixuan and Taoyuan Village. They hope that Zhao Zixuan can continue to inherit and carry forward the spirit of Taoyuan Village and benefit more people.
The Taoist priest also brought a special gift - a scripture written by Li Wan'er and Zhang Hanlin themselves. This sutra records their learning and spiritual experiences in the heavenly realm, as well as their perceptions and understanding of life.
Zhao Zixuan took the scriptures, his heart was full of gratitude and excitement. He knows that this gift is not only a blessing and encouragement for him, but also an expectation and sustenance for the future of Taoyuan Village.
From that day on, Zhao Zixuan began to study and practice harder. He not only imparted the knowledge of the scriptures in the village, but also personally led the villagers to practice and meditate together, so that their minds could be purified and sublimated.
Under Zhao Zixuan's leadership, the people of Taoyuan Village have gradually become kinder, more tolerant and more optimistic. They began to pay attention to nature and protect the environment, making Taoyuan Village a real paradise.
And Zhao Zixuan has also become an eternal hero and example in the hearts of the villagers. His story and spirit have not only been passed down from generation to generation, but also inspired more people to pursue inner peace and happiness.
And the wedding, which has caused countless legendary stories, has also become an eternal landscape in the history of Taoyuan Village. Whenever someone mentions this story, it reminds people of that home full of love and warmth - Taoyuan Village.
