Liao Zhai's new edition: Ghost Shadow Python Trail
In a remote mountain village, there is a chilling legend. It is said that in the dead of night and when the moon is hazy, a huge python will sneak out of the deep mountains and old forests to find its prey. This color python is different from ordinary pythons, it is dozens of feet long, colorful, and its eyes are flashing with a strange light, which is daunting.
One day, a young scholar named Li Ming came to the village. He was talented, handsome and dashing, and was loved by the villagers. However, Li Ming scoffed at the legend about the python, believing that it was just nonsense used by the villagers to scare children.
One night, Li Ming was reading at night in the study. Suddenly, a cold wind blew and the windows slammed shut. He looked up and saw a dark shadow flashing outside the window. Li Ming was shocked, could it really be the legendary python? He dared to go to the window to see what was going on.
At this moment, a woman's scream suddenly came from outside the window. Li Ming's heart tightened, and he hurriedly pushed open the window. I saw a woman in white fleeing in terror into the depths of the woods, and behind her, a huge python was chasing after her with its bloody mouth wide open.
Seeing this, Li Ming rushed out without hesitation. He drew the long sword at his waist and engaged in a fierce struggle with the python. However, this colored python is extremely ferocious and has amazing strength. Although Li Ming's swordsmanship is superb, he was thrown out by the python several times.
Just when Li Ming was about to lose, the woman in white suddenly rushed forward, took out a handful of rune paper from her arms, and threw it at the color python. The rune paper burned in the air, emitting a dazzling light. The python was pierced with tears in the light and twisted its body in pain.
Li Ming took the opportunity to stab the python seven inches with a sword. The python let out a terrible scream and fell to the ground. The woman in white stepped forward, helped Li Ming up, and said gratefully: "Thank you Gongzi for saving me, otherwise I may not be able to escape this catastrophe today." ”
Li Ming asked curiously, "Who is the girl?" Why was he chased and killed by this python? ”
The woman in white sighed and said, "My name is Wan'er, and I was originally a white fox in the mountains who had cultivated for thousands of years. This colored python was originally also a spirit animal in the mountains, but in recent years, it has been eroded by evil qi and has become extremely ferocious. It hunts and kills living beings everywhere and sucks essence qi in order to improve its cultivation. I was discovered by it today, and I was hunted down by it. ”
After hearing this, Li Ming suddenly realized and said, "I see. This python has many evils, and it must be eradicated to keep one side safe. ”
Wan'er nodded and said, "What Childe said is extremely true. But this color python cultivation is profound, and the two of us are afraid that it will be difficult to completely eradicate it. ”
Li Ming pondered for a moment and said, "I have a way. We can unite the Orion and Taoist priests in the village to deal with this python together. ”
Wan'er was overjoyed when she heard this, and said, "That's very good. I'm going to inform them. ”
So, Li Ming and Wan'er went their separate ways. They gathered the hunters and Taoist priests in the village and worked out a well-thought-out plan. On a dark and windy night, they quietly sneaked into the deep mountains and old forests and found the nest of the python.
After a fierce battle, they finally subdued the anaconda. The Taoist priests used a spell to seal the python in a bottomless cave to ensure that it would never come out again to do evil.
When the villagers learned the news, they came to thank them. They held a grand celebration for Li Ming and Wan'er, thanking them for removing this great disaster from the village.
Li Ming and Wan'er also became famous in the village because of this. Not only did they become heroes to the villagers, but they also gained a beautiful marriage. Since then, they have lived happily ever after. And the colored python that was sealed in the cave never appeared in people's sight again.
This story has spread throughout the mountain village and has become a good story that has been sung from generation to generation. And the once terrifying python has also become an eternal warning in people's hearts - evil will eventually be punished, and justice will eventually triumph over evil.
