Carpenter's Adventure
In ancient times, there was a carpenter named Lin Yi, who was skilled and modest, and was deeply loved by the villagers. Lin Yi's character is both the delicacy of a craftsman and the courage of a walker, and he often travels alone through the mountains and forests in search of rare wood to make unique wooden objects.
On this day, Lin Yi, as usual, carried an axe and a saw on his back and embarked on the road to the mountains to find wood. The mountain road is rugged, but Lin Yi is like flying, and his heart is full of expectations for the unknown wood. After walking for a long time, he suddenly saw an ancient hall in front of him, although the hall was dilapidated, it still revealed a solemn and mysterious atmosphere.
Lin Yi was curious, so he decided to go forward and find out. He approached the hall and saw that the door was open, the vermilion paint on the door had been mottled, and there were several vague handwriting engraved on the lintel, which seemed to be an ancient script, which Lin Yi could not recognize. He gently pushed the door open and stepped inside.
The hall was dimly lit, and there was a damp and decaying smell in the air. Lin Yi lit the fire fold in his hand, and the firelight reflected the scene in the hall. I saw a stone table in the middle of the hall, on which were several worn-out wine glasses and a bottle of wine. Around the stone table, there are some clothes and jewelry scattered around, which look like the clothes of the palace maids.
Lin Yi was shocked, could it be that this place was once part of the palace? He looked around, but there was no one in sight. He was just about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly heard a faint sound of footsteps, and then a woman who looked like a palace maid walked out of the darkness.
The palace maid had a delicate face, but her eyes revealed a sense of resentment and sadness. When she saw Lin Yi, she was stunned for a moment, then showed a smile, and said softly: "Childe, since you are here, please sit down and have a drink." ”
Although Lin Yi was a little scared in his heart, he couldn't help but walk over when he saw the gentle smile of the palace maid. He sat at the stone table, and the maid poured him a glass of wine. The wine was bright in color and fragrant, and Lin Yi couldn't help but take a sip.
When the wine entered his throat, Lin Yi only felt a warm current surging through his body, and all the fatigue and tension in his heart disappeared. He couldn't help but take a few more sips, and he also had a good impression of the palace maid in his heart.
The palace maid saw that Lin Yi liked the wine, so she chatted with him. She told Lin Yi that she was once a palace maid in the palace, and was relegated to this place because she made a mistake, and she was lonely and lonely every day, and only this wine could relieve her pain a little.
Lin Yi felt sympathy after hearing this, so he chatted with the palace maid about his story. The more the two talked, the more speculative they became, as if they had been friends for many years. Before he knew it, Lin Yi had drunk the bottle of wine to the point where there was not much left.
At this moment, the palace maid's face suddenly changed, and there was a hint of fierceness in her eyes. She stood up, grabbed Lin Yi's wrist, and said, "Childe, since you drank my wine, then stay with me!" ”
Lin Yi was shocked and wanted to break free from the palace maid's wrist, but found that he couldn't move. He secretly regretted in his heart, he knew that there was something wrong with this wine, and he shouldn't have drunk so much.
Just when Lin Yi felt desperate, he suddenly remembered that he had heard the old man in the village say that when he encountered ghosts, he could learn the roar of a tiger to scare them off. As soon as his heart was crossed, he cried out in the sound of a tiger's roar.
When the palace maid heard the roar of the tiger, her face suddenly changed greatly, and she let go of the wrist that grabbed Lin Yi. She took a few steps back, looked at Lin Yi and said, "You...... Who are you? Why this spell? ”
Lin Yi saw that the palace maid showed fear, and his heart suddenly had confidence. He stood up and said in a loud voice, "I am a carpenter on earth, how can I be afraid of such a ghost as you!" ”
After hearing this, the palace maid's face became even more ugly. She glanced at Lin Yi deeply, and then turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared.
Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, knowing that he had escaped. He looked around and saw that the bottle was empty. He secretly said in his heart that he was lucky, if he drank a few more sips, I am afraid that he would be really lucky.
Lin Yi didn't dare to stay for a long time, and hurriedly left the ancient hall. He scurried until it was getting dark and he found a safe place to rest. This night, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and his heart kept recalling his experience in the ancient hall. He knew he was embroiled in an unknown mystery, but he didn't regret his decision. Because he believes that only by bravely facing the unknown can we find the truth.
And the secret about that ancient palace and that palace maid is far from being revealed...... The night was like ink, the stars were dotted, Lin Yi lay by the fire, but he couldn't sleep for a long time. The experience in the ancient temple was like a nightmare, lingering in his mind. The poignant face of the palace maid, as well as the sadness and resentment in her eyes, made him feel an inexplicable heaviness.
He recalled the frightened look of the palace maid when he imitated the sound of the tiger's roar, and his heart couldn't help but ripple. Perhaps, she is not some evil ghost, but she is bound here by some kind of power, and she cannot be freed.
"Perhaps, I should go back and have a look." An impulse surged in Lin Yi's heart, he wanted to uncover the secrets of the ancient palace and help the palace maid get out of trouble. But he also knows that it will not be easy and will require courage and wisdom.
Early the next morning, Lin Yi got up early, prepared dry food and water, and set out on the road to the ancient hall again. This time, he was gone with no previous apprehension and uneasiness, replaced by firmness and determination.
After a day's trekking, Lin Yi finally stood in front of the door of the ancient hall again. He took a deep breath and pushed open the already rotten door.
The hall was still dim, but Lin Yi had adapted to this environment. He lit the fire fold in his hand and walked towards the stone table step by step. He noticed that the glasses and bottles on the stone table were gone, leaving only an empty space.
Lin Yi sat at the stone table, waiting for the palace maid to appear. But after a long time, there was still silence in the hall, and there was no sound. He was a little disappointed in his heart, could it be that the palace maid had already left?
At this moment, a soft singing voice came from the depths of the temple. The singing voice was tactful and melodious, like a heavenly sound, which made Lin Yi feel an inexplicable touch. He followed the song, and found the maid standing in front of a ruined idol, singing in a low voice.
Lin Yi stood quietly aside, listening to the singing. He found that there was no longer only sadness and resentment in the eyes of the palace maid, but also a sense of relief and relief.
Waiting until the singing stopped, Lin Yi stepped forward. He told the palace maid about his conjectures and plans, hoping to help her get out of her predicament. When the palace maid heard this, a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes, but then she became gloomy again.
"I understand Childe's kindness, but my fate is already doomed and cannot be changed." The palace maid sighed.
"Fate is not static, as long as you have the courage to face and change, you will definitely be able to find a way out." Lin Yi said firmly.
The palace maid was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Actually, I am not a palace maid, but the guardian of this ancient hall. I was bound by a mysterious power and couldn't leave this place. And that bottle of wine is used to keep me alive. Whenever someone entered this ancient hall, I would appear as a palace maid and lure them to drink the wine. Only those who drink that wine can see me for what I really am. ”
Lin Yi was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect this palace maid to have such a tragic fate. He was even more determined to help her.
"So how can you break free from this bondage?" Lin Yi asked.
"A treasure called the 'Soul Stone' needs to be found in order to break this bondage." "But that treasure is extremely rare, and I don't know where it is." ”
Lin Yi fell into deep thought after hearing this. He knew it was going to be a difficult journey, but he was prepared. He bids farewell to the palace maid and decides to embark on a journey to find the "Soul Stone".
In the process of searching for the "Soul Stone", Lin Yi encountered various difficulties and challenges. He traversed dense forests, precipitous mountains, and barren deserts. He encounters ferocious beasts, weird monsters, and cunning thieves. But he never gave up, confident that he would be able to find that treasure.
After months of arduous trekking, Lin Yi finally found the "Soul Stone" in an ancient ruin. It was a gem that shone faintly, lying quietly in the depths of the ruins, waiting for the arrival of the destined person.
Lin Yi carefully took the "Soul Stone" into his arms, and then embarked on the road back to the ancient hall. His heart was full of anticipation and excitement, because he knew that he was about to change the fate of that palace maid.
When Lin Yi stood in front of the door of the ancient hall again, he felt an unprecedented tension and excitement. He pushed the door open and walked in, and found the maid standing at the stone table waiting for him.
"You're finally here." The palace maid looked at the "Soul Stone" in Lin Yi's hand, and a trace of surprise and joy flashed in her eyes.
"Yes, I found it." Lin Yi smiled and said, "Now we can untie you." ”
The palace maid nodded, and then guided Lin Yi to the statue. She placed the "Soul Stone" in the idol's hand and whispered an ancient incantation. As the chant of the incantation sounded, the idol began to glow brightly. That light enveloped the entire hall, making Lin Yi feel an unprecedented shock and awe.
When the light dissipated, the maid was gone. In her place was a beautiful woman, dressed in splendid clothes and with a gentle and lovely face. She bowed deeply to Lin Yi: "Thank you for saving me." ”
Lin Yi looked at this beautiful woman and felt an inexplicable feeling of emotion and relief in his heart. He knew that he had fulfilled his mission and commitment. He nodded to the woman and responded with a smile: "I'm also very happy to be able to help you." ”
The two stood at the stone table, and the woman's face looked more gentle in the firelight. She softly recounts her past, an old tale of love, betrayal, and curse. Lin Yi listened quietly, as if she could feel the pain and struggle in her heart.
It turned out that this woman was once a princess in the palace, and she fell in love with a commoner man, but was opposed and cursed by the royal family. She was imprisoned in this ancient temple and incarnated as a palace maid, and only by drinking that special bottle of wine could she temporarily recover her true body. And the civilian man, too, turned into a tiger under the curse and was trapped in the mountains.
"The civilian man, he ...... Is he alive? Lin Yi couldn't help but ask.
The woman nodded, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes: "He's still alive, but he's no longer human." He was cursed to become a tiger and spent the rest of his life alone in the mountains. ”
Lin Yi's heart throbbed after hearing this, he imagined the scene of the tiger wandering alone in the mountains, and an inexplicable impulse surged in his heart. He wanted to find the tiger and tell it about the princess, and maybe lift their curse.
"You...... Would you like to come with me to find that tiger? Lin Yi asked tentatively.
The woman hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly: "I do." Perhaps, only by finding Him can we be truly liberated. ”
So, the two left the ancient temple and embarked on a journey to find the tiger. They passed through dense forests, over steep mountains, and finally came to a deep valley.
There were bursts of tiger roars in the valley, shaking the mountains and forests. Lin Yi and the woman clasped hands tightly and walked towards the depths of the valley step by step. They knew that the tiger was waiting for them ahead.
Finally, in the depths of the valley, they saw the tiger. It was lying on a large tree, its eyes revealing vigilance and loneliness. Lin Yi and the woman approached it cautiously, for fear of alarming it.
"Mr. Tiger, we're here to help you." Lin Yi said loudly, while learning the sound of the tiger roaring before, trying to communicate with the tiger.
When the tiger heard Lin Yi's tiger roar, a trace of surprise and doubt flashed in his eyes. It lowered its head to look at Lin Yi and the woman, as if it was discerning their intentions.
"We are from the ancient palace, princess, she ......" Before the woman finished speaking, tears had already burst out of her eyes. She choked up and continued, "She was cursed to become a palace maid, and only by drinking that bottle of wine can she temporarily regain her true form. And you, too, were cursed to become a tiger. We want to find a way to lift the curse and set you free again. ”
A flash of emotion flashed in the tiger's eyes after hearing this, and it seemed to be able to feel the sadness and pain in the woman's heart. It slowly descended the tree and approached the two of them. When the tiger approached the two of them, it suddenly transformed into a handsome man.
The man was the commoner man whom the princess loved so much, and his face was still young, but his eyes were full of vicissitudes and pain. The moment he saw the princess, tears of excitement gleamed in his eyes. The two hugged each other tightly, as if to put all their thoughts and pains into this one hug.
Lin Yi looked at the scene in front of him, and felt a burst of warmth and emotion in his heart. He knew that he had finally fulfilled his mission and commitment. He stood silently, waiting for the two of them to calm down.
After a while, the princess and the commoner man finally regained their composure. They expressed their gratitude to Lin Yi and asked for ways to lift the curse.
Lin Yi shook his head: "I don't know the specific method, but we can look for clues and methods together." I believe that if we work together, we will be able to find a way to lift the curse. ”
The princess and the commoner man nodded after hearing this, and they decided to embark on a journey with Lin Yi to find a way to lift the curse. During the journey, they supported each other, faced difficulties and challenges together, and gradually established a deep friendship and trust.
Their journey was full of unknowns and dangers, but they never gave up hope. They believe that as long as they have love and faith in their hearts, they will be able to overcome all difficulties and find a way to lift the curse.
And Lin Yi has also grown a lot in the process, he has become more mature, determined and brave. He understands that there will always be some unforeseen things in life, but as long as we face them bravely and persevere in pursuing our dreams and beliefs, we will be able to get out of the predicament and usher in a better future.
However, the road to lifting the curse has not been smooth. They have encountered various difficulties and challenges, and sometimes even found themselves in desperate situations. But each time, with unwavering faith and courage, they were able to find a solution to the problem and move on.
In this process, Lin Yi also discovered the courage and wisdom in his heart. He began to pay more attention to his heart and growth, and no longer just pursued external success and fame. He understood that the true meaning and meaning of life lies in the pursuit of inner peace and contentment.
Eventually, after countless setbacks and failures, they finally found a way to lift the curse. The princess and the commoner man regained their freedom, and they thanked Lin Yi and said goodbye with grateful. And Lin Yi also returned to his hometown with full harvest and insight.
He told his fellow villagers about his experience and encouraged them to face the difficulties and challenges of life bravely. He believes that as long as he has faith and courage in his heart, he will be able to overcome all difficulties and realize his dreams.
And Lin Yi himself also found his own direction and value in life through this experience. He decided to continue his carpentry skills and pass them on to future generations, while also sharing his story and insights with more people.
Lin Yi returned to his carpenter's shop, which was still the harbor he knew best. He picked up the carving knife and began to carve every detail with great care. His craftsmanship is more exquisite than ever, and each piece seems to be infused with his soul and story.
The villagers came to admire his works, they were impressed by Lin Yi's skills, and they were even more moved by the stories contained in his works. Lin Yi began to incorporate his experiences in the ancient temple, his adventures with princesses and commoner men, and how they worked together to find a way to lift the curse, into his wood carvings.
Each piece is like a little story, they tell the story of courage, faith, love and friendship. Touched by these stories, the villagers began to value their lives more and face the challenges of the future more courageously.
Lin Yi also found his own happiness and value in the process. He is no longer just an ordinary carpenter, he has become an artist who can touch people's hearts with his hands and heart. His works are not only a material enjoyment, but also a spiritual nourishment.
However, Lin Yi did not stop his exploration and learning. He began to read more books and materials, trying to find more clues about the temple and the curse. He hopes to gain a deeper understanding of the truth and meaning behind these stories.
In the process, Lin Yi met a mysterious old man. The old man was once a famous historian and explorer, and he had an in-depth study and understanding of ancient temples and curses. The old man was moved by Lin Yi's work and decided to share his knowledge and experience with him.
The old man told Lin Yi that there was an ancient legend and secret hidden behind the ancient temple and the curse. This legend is associated with an ancient civilization and a mystical power. This power can confer extraordinary abilities and wisdom on people, but it also comes at a heavy cost and constraints.
Lin Yi's heart was full of shock and curiosity after hearing this. He decides to delve into this legend and secret with the old man. They embark on a journey full of unknowns and dangers, traveling through ancient ruins, visiting mysterious tribes, and communicating with all kinds of strange characters.
In the process, Lin Yi not only learned a lot about history and culture, but also deeply appreciated the complexity and diversity of human nature. He saw people fighting for power and profit, sacrificing for faith and ideals, and clinging to love and friendship.
At the same time, Lin Yi also discovered his innermost desires and pursuits. He longed to learn more about the truth and meaning of this world and life; He pursues a spiritual realm and life experience that transcends material and desire.
Eventually, with the joint efforts of the old man, they found clues about the truth behind the ancient temple and the curse. It turned out that that ancient civilization once had a mysterious power in its hands, but this power also came with a heavy price and constraints. In order to untie this bondage, they were left with a way to lift the curse and bondage through inner awakening and transformation.
Lin Yi's heart suddenly brightened up after hearing this. He realized that what he had been looking for was not just craftsmanship and fame, but also an awakening and transformation of his heart. He decided to incorporate his experiences and insights into his wood carvings, making them a medium for inner awakening and transformation.
As a result, Lin Yi began to create a new series of wood carvings. These works not only show his exquisite skills and unique style, but also contain his deep understanding and perception of life and the world. They have become a clear stream and strength in people's hearts, inspiring people to bravely face life's challenges and pursue inner awakening and transformation.
With the passage of time, Lin Yi's works have become more and more loved and recognized. His fame also gradually spread throughout the region and beyond. However, Lin Yi did not become complacent or stop at this, he still maintained a humble and learning attitude, and continued to explore and create more excellent works.
In the process, Lin Yi also gained more friendship and love. He has developed deep connections and bonds with like-minded people who share the joys and sorrows of life and the experience of creation. These experiences made Lin Yi cherish and be grateful for every moment and every person in his life.
Looking back on the past, Lin Yi was full of emotion. He has grown from an ordinary carpenter to an artist who can touch people's hearts with his hands and heart; He has grown from a man of skill and fame to an explorer of inner awakening and transformation. He understood that the true meaning and meaning of life lies in the pursuit of inner peace and contentment, as well as continuous exploration and creation.
And all this change and growth stems from his adventures with the ancient palace, princesses, and commoner men, as well as the in-depth exploration and learning with the old man afterwards. Those experiences made him see the vastness and diversity of life, and also made him cherish and be grateful for every moment and every person in his life.
Today, Lin Yi is still busy creating more excellent works in his carpenter shop. He knows that he still has a long way to go, and he needs to keep learning and growing in order to go further and higher.
