Meet the hedgehog at night to talk
In ancient times, there was a place called Aoyagi Village, which was surrounded by mountains, with beautiful scenery and simple folk customs. There is a young woman named Xiu'er in the village, she is smart, hardworking and kind, and she is a good girl who is loved by everyone in the village.
Xiu'er's family is poor, but her parents love her very much and regard her as the pearl of their palms. However, as fate would have it, Xiu'er's father accidentally fell off a cliff while going up the mountain to collect medicine, and although he was lucky enough to pick up a life, he fell seriously ill and was bedridden all day, needing expensive medicinal materials to recuperate his body. In order to raise money for medicine, Xiu'er's mother had to work day and night, and Xiu'er also took on the burden of the family early.
That night, the moonlight was like water, sprinkled on the village road paved with bluestone slabs. Xiu'er is busy with the day's work and is about to rest. However, she suddenly felt an urge to urinate, and she got up and walked to the hut outside. The night was hazy, and the village was silent, except for the occasional barking of dogs in the distance.
Xiu'er carried the hem of her skirt and walked cautiously on the village road. Suddenly, she heard a small conversation coming from the grass on the side of the road. She was shocked, who could be talking at such a late hour? Curiosity drove her to slow down and listen with bated breath.
"We'll have to be careful tonight, the family is already on alert." A voice said.
"Don't worry, I've found a great place to hide." Another voice replied.
Xiu'er was even more curious, and she approached the grass lightly, wanting to see what was going on. However, when she poked her head out, she was surprised to find that it was two hedgehogs who spoke!
The two hedgehogs were fat and had eyes that sparkled with a sly light. When they saw Xiu'er approaching, they did not panic, but continued to talk.
"Is that hiding place you mentioned really reliable?" A hedgehog asked.
"Of course it's reliable, I've seen it with my own eyes. There was a big water tank in the yard of that house, and we could hide it in the tank and wait until the dead of night to come out. The other hedgehog said triumphantly.
When Xiu'er heard this, her heart couldn't help but tighten. She remembered the water tank at home, which she used every day to draw water from the well. If these two hedgehogs were really hiding in the water tank, wouldn't she have to deal with these hedgehogs every day?
Thinking of this, Xiu'er was both scared and curious. She decided to go home and tell her mother about it first, and then find a way to solve the problem.
Xiu'er quietly returned home and told her mother everything she had just seen. My mother was also very surprised when she heard this, but after all, she was a person who had seen the world, and she quickly calmed down.
"Xiu'er, this matter is not trivial, we can't act rashly." The mother pondered for a moment and then said, "Since these two hedgehogs can speak, they must have some Taoism. We have to find a way to keep ourselves safe without harming them. ”
Xiu'er nodded, but she was a little uneasy in her heart. She didn't know where the two hedgehogs came from, or what they were trying to do. But she knew she had to face it all because she was the hope of the family.
Late at night, Xiu'er lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Her mind kept recalling the conversation between the two hedgehogs, and her heart was full of doubts and uneasiness. Just then, she suddenly heard a small noise outside the window. She was shocked, and quickly got up and walked to the window to check.
I saw the moonlight outside the window like water, sprinkled on the water tank in the yard. The two hedgehogs were actually hiding in the water tank as they said! They were lying quietly on the water, as if they had fallen asleep. Seeing this, Xiu'er became even more nervous. She didn't know what the two hedgehogs were trying to do, or how she was going to deal with the sudden situation.
However, at this moment, an idea suddenly occurred to her. She decided to put some food next to the tank to attract the attention of the two hedgehogs. At the same time, she will secretly observe the movements of the two hedgehogs to see what they want to do.
And just like that, Xiu'er began her plan. She crept into the kitchen and took some food and put it next to the water tank. Then, she hid in a corner and quietly observed the movements of the two hedgehogs.
Time passed minute by minute, and the two hedgehogs didn't seem to notice Xiu'er's actions. They still lie quietly on the water, as if they have forgotten everything about the outside world. However, at this moment, Xiu'er suddenly noticed that one of the hedgehogs moved, and then slowly crawled to the edge of the water tank.
It seemed to be attracted by the aroma of the food and stuck out its nose to sniff. Then he turned his head and said to the other hedgehog, "Look, there's so much to eat here." ”
The other hedgehog also moved when he heard this, and then climbed to the edge of the water tank as well.
The two hedgehogs discussed for a while, seemingly weighing the pros and cons. Eventually, one of the hedgehogs was the first to crawl out of the tank and cautiously approach the food. The other hedgehog remained in the tank, vigilantly observing the movements around it.
Seeing this, Xiu'er secretly rejoiced in her heart. She knew she was halfway through her plan. However, at this moment, she suddenly felt a chill hit her, as if something was peeking at her. She hurriedly looked up, only to see a blurry figure standing not far away in the moonlight, silently watching all this.
Xiu'er was shocked, she knew that this person was by no means an ordinary villager. Resisting the fear in her heart, she quietly took a few steps back, trying to find a chance to slip away. However, at this moment, the vague figure suddenly moved, quickly approaching her.
Seeing this, Xiu'er's heart tightened, and she quickly turned around and ran. However, her speed was no match for the mysterious man's lightness. In the blink of an eye, the mysterious man had already chased after her.
"Girl, don't run!" The mystery man shouted.
Xiu'er panicked, slipped under her feet, and fell to the ground. She struggled to her feet, but was grabbed by the wrist by the mysterious man.
"Who the hell are you? Why are you chasing me? Xiu'er asked in horror.
The mysterious man didn't answer her words, just stared at her silently for a moment. Then, with a deep sigh, he said, "Girl, do you know where those two hedgehogs came from?" ”
Xiu'er shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
The mysterious man sighed and continued, "Those two hedgehogs are actually monsters that have been cultivating for many years. The reason why they are hidden in the water tank is because they want to absorb the yang energy of the world to improve their cultivation. If you continue to keep them in the water tank in your home, not only your family will suffer, but the whole village will also be affected. ”
When Xiu'er heard this, she was horrified. She never thought that those two seemingly ordinary hedgehogs turned out to be monsters. She hurriedly asked, "Then what should we do?" ”
The mysterious man pondered for a moment and then said, "I have a way to break their magic. However, your cooperation is required. ”
Xiu'er hurriedly nodded in agreement. So, the mysterious man began to teach her how to crack the witchcraft. It turned out that he was a Taoist priest who traveled all over the world, specializing in subduing demons and eliminating demons. This time, when I passed by Aoyagi Village, I happened to encounter this incident.
Under the guidance of the mysterious man, Xiu'er follows his method and starts to act. She first sprinkled some special herbal powder around the tank, which emitted a scent that was terrifying to the monsters. Then, she hung a spell above the water tank, which sealed the demonic energy of the monster.
When everything was ready, Xiu'er and the mysterious man waited quietly by the water tank. It didn't take long for the two hedgehogs to crawl out of the tank. As soon as they saw the charm and the herbal powder, they immediately looked horrified. Then they turn around and try to run away.
However, the mysterious man has already laid a net. With a slight wave of his hand, a golden light shot towards the two hedgehogs. Seeing a flash of golden light, the two hedgehogs fell to the ground with a scream. Their bodies gradually shrunk and deformed, and finally dissipated into two clouds of black gas in the air.
At this point, Aoyagi Village has finally returned to its former tranquility. When the villagers learned about this, they thanked Xiu'er and the mysterious man. And Xiu'er has become stronger and braver because of this experience. She knew that she was no longer the little girl who could only do laundry and cook, but a heroine who could protect her family and the village. After solving the problem of the hedgehog monster, Xiu'er's life did not return to peace. She finds herself interested in the mysterious Taoist priest and wants to learn more about the unknown side of the world. And the mysterious Taoist priest also seems to have appreciated Xiu'er's courage and wisdom, and decided to teach her some basic spells and Taoism.
Under the guidance of the mysterious Taoist, Xiu'er began the arduous path of cultivation. She worked during the day and studied spells with Taoist priests at night, and although the process was difficult, Xiu'er never gave up. Her progress was rapid, and she soon mastered some basic spells and Dao techniques, becoming a small Taoist who could protect herself and others.
Over time, Xiu'er's fame spread among Aoyagi Village. Not only is she hardworking and kind, but she also knows some magical spells and is able to solve the problems encountered by the villagers. As a result, more and more villagers came to Xiu'er for help, and she became a beautiful scenery in the village.
However, the good times were short-lived. One night, a group of uninvited guests suddenly broke into Aoyagi Village. They are a group of youkai from the mountains, and because the spiritual energy in the mountains is depleted, they come to the human world to find a new habitat. These monsters are vicious and cruel, killing people when they see them, and burning houses when they see them, and the entire Aoyagi Village is in chaos.
In the face of this sudden disaster, Xiu'er was not afraid. She stepped forward and led the young men of the village into a fierce battle against the youkai. She uses the spells and Taoism she has learned to defeat the attacks of the monsters again and again, protecting the lives of the villagers.
However, there are many yokai and they are powerful. Although Xiu'er is extremely brave, she gradually feels powerless. Just as she was about to be defeated by the youkai, the mysterious Taoist priest suddenly appeared. He wielded his sword and slew several youkai to gain a respite for Xiu'er.
With the help of the mysterious Taoist priest, Xiu'er and the villagers finally defeat the youkai. However, the mysterious Taoist priest was seriously injured as a result. He knew that his time was short, so he handed over a secret book of profound spells to Xiu'er, hoping that she could continue to cultivate and protect the world from demons.
After the death of the mysterious Taoist priest, Xiu'er was grief-stricken. She felt that she had a great responsibility on her shoulders, and she made up her mind to study the spells and tricks in that secret book. She believes that this is the only way to better protect herself and her villagers.
After years of cultivation and experience, Xiu'er finally became a true Taoist priest. Not only is she proficient in all kinds of spells and Taoism, but she also has great strength and wisdom. She used her power to protect the safety of Aoyagi Village and the surrounding area, and became a hero and idol in the hearts of the people.
And Aoyagi Village has gradually regained its former prosperity and tranquility under the protection of Xiu'er. The villagers live happily ever after, and they will never forget the woman who once saved the village, Xiu'er. After Xiu'er became a Taoist priest and guarded Aoyagi Village for many years, her story was told far and wide, attracting practitioners and ordinary people from far and wide to visit, hoping to learn some magic or get some guidance from her.
Xiu'er is not stingy, she knows that her strength comes from the support and trust of the villagers, as well as from her unremitting cultivation and exploration. Therefore, she is willing to share her knowledge and experience to help those aspiring to practice on the right path.
Under Xiu'er's guidance, many young people have made remarkable progress in their cultivation of Taoism, and they have become the guardians of a new generation, working with Xiu'er to protect the safety of Aoyagi Village and the surrounding area.
However, as her reputation grew, Xiu'er also faced more challenges and tests. Some evil forces began to covet her power and tried to use her for their own ends. In the face of these challenges, Xiu'er never flinched, and with her wisdom and courage, she turned danger into disaster again and again, protecting herself and the people around her.
In the process, Xiu'er also met many like-minded friends and partners. Some of them are Taoist priests who have practiced for many years, some are martial arts masters with unique skills, and some are mysterious figures from foreign lands. They are attracted by Xiu'er's qualities and are willing to fight side by side with her to protect the peace and tranquility of this world.
Over time, Xiu'er and her companions form a powerful alliance that not only destroys evil forces in Aoyagi Village and the surrounding area, but also travels far and wide to help those who are being violated. Gradually, their fame spread throughout the continent and they became legendary heroes in the hearts of the people.
However, Xiu'er was not complacent because of this. She knows that her strength comes from the kindness and courage of her heart, as well as from cooperation and solidarity with others. Therefore, she has always maintained a humble and low-key attitude, constantly learning and improving, hoping to better protect the world.
Under Xiu'er's influence, the people of Aoyagi Village and the surrounding area have also become more united and courageous. They help each other and work together to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, creating a harmonious and beautiful living environment. And Xiu'er's story has also become a beacon in their hearts, guiding them to keep moving forward and pursue a higher realm.
Eventually, thanks to the efforts of Xiu'er and her companions, the evil forces were completely eliminated and the world returned to peace and tranquility. And Xiu'er has also grown into a true legendary hero in the process, and her story will always be remembered in people's hearts.
