Resentment in the statue
In a remote mountain village, there is a farmer named Zhang Dachuan. He works at sunrise and rests at sunset, living a plain and simple life. In the autumn of that year, due to heavy rains for several days, Zhang Dachuan's fields were flooded, and the crops were almost completely unharvested. Looking at the water-soaked fields, Zhang Dachuan's heart was like a knife. In order to salvage the damage, he decided to dig a drainage ditch at the edge of the field in order to divert the stagnant water away.
As soon as he said it, Zhang Dachuan picked up a shovel and hoe and began to dig in sweat at the edge of the field. Digging and digging, suddenly there was a "clang", and his shovel seemed to touch something hard. He carefully cut through the dirt, and gradually a delicate stone statue of a woman was revealed.
Although the statue is covered in mud, the delicate carving can still be seen. The woman's face is delicate and graceful, as if there is endless grievance. Zhang Dachuan's heart throbbed, and he didn't know where this statue came from and why it was buried here.
When night fell, Zhang Dachuan, who had been busy all day, lay on the bed, tossing and turning but couldn't sleep. The shadow of the stone statue of a woman always came to his mind, and those mournful eyes seemed to tell something.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a soft knock on the door. Zhang Dachuan got up and opened the door in confusion, only to see a beautiful woman standing at the door, her face was the same as the statue dug up in the daytime.
"Who are you?" Zhang Dachuan asked in surprise.
"I'm the owner of that statue, and my name is Wan'er." The woman said softly, "Thank you for saving me from the dirt." ”
Zhang Dachuan invited Wan'er into the house and asked her about her intentions. A trace of sadness flashed in Wan'er's eyes, and she slowly told her story.
It turned out that hundreds of years ago, Wan'er was a beautiful girl in the village who fell in love with Li Lang, a young talent in the village. However, the bully landlord in the village fell in love with Wan'er and wanted to forcibly marry her as a concubine. Wan'er's parents agreed to this family affair in order to curry favor with the landlord. Wan'er would rather die, but she couldn't resist her parents' decision. On the wedding night, she chose to commit suicide by throwing herself into a well and turned into a ghost.
Later, in order to commemorate Wan'er, the master carver of the village carved a stone statue according to her appearance. The statue was buried in the ground for a hundred years until it was dug up by Zhang Dachuan.
"I thought I would be buried in the dark forever, but you dug it up." Wan'er sighed with emotion, "I came here to ask you to do me a favor." ”
"Please say, as long as I can do it, I will do my best." Zhang Dachuan said sincerely.
"I hope to find the reincarnation of my lover Li Lang, but a relationship from my previous life." Wan'er sighed, "I've been looking for a long time, but I haven't found any trace of him. I think he may not be in the village anymore. ”
After hearing this, Zhang Dachuan felt sympathy and decided to help Wan'er find Li Lang's reincarnation. The next day, he began to inquire around about Li Lang's descendants. After some twists and turns, he finally found Li Lang's descendant, a young man named Li Ming.
Li Ming was very surprised when he heard Zhang Dachuan's intention. He had heard about Wan'er and Li Lang since he was a child, but he didn't expect this incident to be related to him.
"You mean, I'm the reincarnation of Li Lang?" Li Ming asked incredulously.
"Yes, I hope you can meet Wan'er, but fulfill her wish in her previous life." Zhang Dachuan said earnestly.
Li Ming was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'm willing to help her." ”
As night fell, Zhang Dachuan took Li Ming to the field where the statue was dug up. In the moonlight, Wan'er's statue stood there quietly, as if waiting for something.
When Li Ming walked in front of the statue, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy. He reached out and gently touched the statue, as if to soothe a wounded soul.
Suddenly, the statue emitted a faint light, and Wan'er's figure gradually emerged. She looked at Li Ming, tears flashing in her eyes: "Li Lang, I finally found you." ”
Li Ming was also deeply moved by this scene: "Wan'er, I am willing to help you fulfill your unfulfilled wish in your previous life." ”
Under the witness of the moonlight, two souls who have crossed time and space finally meet. Their conversation seemed to travel through a tunnel of time and space, echoing above the tranquil fields.
However, at this moment, an eerie atmosphere suddenly filled the air around him. A cold wind blew, and the crops on the fields rustled, as if something was lurking in the darkness, peering into it all.
Zhang Dachuan and Li Ming both felt this strange atmosphere. Zhang Dachuan couldn't help but shudder, and he looked around, trying to find the source of this atmosphere.
Suddenly, a low and gloomy voice echoed in the night sky: "Wan'er, you finally show your head, this time I'll see how you escape!" ”
As the voice echoed, a dark figure slowly walked out of the darkness. Zhang Dachuan and Li Ming were horrified to find that this black shadow turned out to be the ghost of the bully landlord!
"Y-Why are you here?" Wan'er asked in horror.
"Hahaha!" The ghost of the bully landlord let out an eerie laugh, "Do you think you'll be able to get rid of me if you're dead?" I tell you, even if you turn into a ghost, I can still find you! This time, I'm going to make your soul fly! ”
As he spoke, he pounced on Wan'er. Wan'er screamed in surprise and turned into a faint blue light and fled into the distance. The ghost of the bully landlord followed and disappeared into the darkness.
Zhang Dachuan and Li Ming looked at each other, they didn't know what to do. Suddenly, Zhang Dachuan remembered something: "Quick! Let's go ahead and have a look! ”
The two chased in the direction where Wan'er fled. They walked through the fields, over the hills, and finally came to a barren ruin.
Here, they saw a shocking scene: the ghost of the bully landlord was fighting with Wan'er. Their battle was fierce, blue and pitch-black light intertwined, as if to tear the ruins apart.
Zhang Dachuan and Li Ming wanted to come forward to help, but they found that they couldn't intervene in the battle at all. They could only watch Wan'er fight with the ghost of the bully landlord.
As time passed, Wan'er gradually showed signs of decline. Her light is getting dimmer, and the ghost of the bully landlord is getting stronger. Zhang Dachuan and Li Ming were anxious, they knew that if they didn't take action, Wan'er might not be able to support it.
At this moment, a melodious guqin sound suddenly came from the ruins. The sound of this piano is melodious and melodious, like crying, as if it can penetrate people's hearts. As the piano sounded, the surrounding scene changed: beautiful flowers bloomed on the originally barren ruins, and these flowers exude a faint fragrance, making people feel extremely peaceful and serene.
The ghosts of Wan'er and the bully landlord were also attracted by the sound of the piano. They stopped fighting and turned their heads to look in the direction from which the sound of the piano had come. I saw a woman dressed in white sitting on top of the ruins playing an ancient lyre. Her face is delicate and refined, like a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world.
After the woman in white finished playing, she looked up at the ghosts of Wan'er and the bully landlord: "The grudge between you has lasted for hundreds of years, and it's time to let go." ”
The ghost of the bully landlord roared, "What are you? Why should we care about our grievances? ”
The woman in white smiled slightly: "I am the guardian here, responsible for resolving the resentment and hatred in this land. Your grievances have brought too many negative effects to this land, and I hope that you will let go of your hatred and let this land return to its former tranquility. ”
The ghost of the bully landlord was silent for a moment after hearing this, and suddenly let out a long sigh: "That's it! Maybe you're right, it's time to let go. With that, his figure gradually dissipated into the night sky.
Wan'er also felt a sense of relief, and she bowed deeply to the woman in white: "Thank you for your enlightenment." With that, she also turned into a faint blue light and disappeared into the night sky.
The woman in white looked at the direction where the two disappeared and smiled slightly, then turned to look at Zhang Dachuan and Li Ming: "You have also seen that hatred will only make people fall into endless pain. Only by letting go of hatred can you truly attain inner peace. After speaking, she also turned into a white light and disappeared into the night sky, leaving Zhang Dachuan and Li Ming to ponder in place for a long time.
The night breeze was slow, Zhang Dachuan and Li Ming stood in the ruins, their hearts full of shock. They saw first-hand how hatred was dissolved, and they felt the land come alive again. The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had both unloaded a thousand pounds of burden.
"Brother Dachuan, you say, should we also learn to let go?" Li Ming broke the silence and asked thoughtfully.
Zhang Dachuan patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "Yes, life is in the world, why let hatred and resentment blind you." Sometimes, letting go is also a relief. ”
The two walked and chatted and returned to the village. The next day, Zhang Dachuan decided to re-bury the stone statue of a woman in the ruins, so that she could guard the land and the grievances that needed to be resolved.
However, just as they were about to leave the ruins, they discovered a strange phenomenon: a towering tree grew in the middle of the ruins, and its branches were covered with colorful ribbons. These ribbons flutter in the wind, as if to tell something.
"What's going on?" Li Ming asked in surprise.
Zhang Dachuan was also very surprised, he approached the tree and carefully observed the ribbons. Suddenly, he discovers that each ribbon has a person's name and a wish written on it.
"I am afraid that these ribbons were tied here by the villagers to pray for peace and happiness." Zhang Dachuan speculated, "It seems that this ruin has become a sacred place in the hearts of the villagers." ”
The two walked around the tree a few times, and found that the soil under the tree seemed to be a little loose. Curious, they dug and found a small wooden box. The wooden box contained a yellowed piece of paper densely filled with names and blessings.
Zhang Dachuan and Li Ming were surprised to find that these names turned out to be the names of people in their village! The blessings are different, some pray for the safety and health of the family, some hope for the success of the child's studies, and some wish for the sweetness and happiness of love.
"It seems that this ruin has really become a place for the villagers to place their wishes." Li Ming sighed, "These ribbons and the words on the paper are full of sincere emotions and good wishes. ”
Zhang Dachuan also nodded with deep feelings: "Yes, hatred and resentment will only make people fall into pain. And love and blessings can make us feel true happiness and warmth. ”
The two reburied the wooden box and tied a new ribbon with their names and wishes written on it. They hope that this ruin will continue to protect the happiness and tranquility of the villagers.
As time goes on, the ruins become more and more beautiful. The tree has also grown more and more luxuriant and has become a landmark attraction in the village. Whenever the villagers pass by, they stop to enjoy the scenery and pray under the trees for their wishes to come true.
Zhang Dachuan and Li Ming often come here to walk and chat, feeling the tranquility and peace exuded by this land. They know that this ruin is no longer the place of resentment and hatred it once was, but a holy place of love and blessing.
However, the good times did not last long, and a sudden news broke the tranquility of the village: the ghost of the bully landlord actually appeared again! This time, he became more ferocious and brutal, doing evil everywhere and making the villagers live in fear.
When Zhang Dachuan and Li Ming heard the news, they immediately rushed to the ruins to find a solution, but they found that the soil under the big tree was loose again, as if something wanted to break through the ground.
Carefully digging through the soil, they were surprised to find a small wooden box containing an ancient amulet engraved with mysterious runes and patterns.
"Could this be ......" Zhang Dachuan suddenly remembered something, "This is the legendary 'Soul Suppression Talisman'!" It can suppress evil spirits and protect people's tranquility! ”
The two took the amulet and found the ghost of the bully landlord, and the amulet emitted a dazzling light, fixing the ghost of the bully landlord in place. His expression became terrifying, but he couldn't move.
Zhang Dachuan and Li Ming took the opportunity to recite the spell to stimulate the power of the talisman to the extreme. I saw a golden light shoot out of the amulet, shooting straight towards the ghost of the bully landlord. Under the golden light, the ghost of the bully landlord let out a terrible scream, and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated into the air.
The villagers cheered, knowing that the ghost of the bully landlord who had been haunting them for a long time had finally been eliminated. And Zhang Dachuan and Li Ming have also become heroes in the village and have been respected and grateful by everyone.
Since then, nothing strange has happened to that ruin. The trees are still growing luxuriantly, and ribbons flutter in the wind with good wishes. Zhang Dachuan and Li Ming often come here to walk and chat, feeling the tranquility and peace exuded by this land.
One day, many years later, when the two returned to the ruins, they found a surprising sight: a beautiful flower had grown under the big tree! Its petals take on a rainbow of colors and sparkle in the sun, as if they were a gift from nature.
"This flower must be a flower that symbolizes love and peace!" Zhang Dachuan said excitedly, "It represents the future and hope of our village!" ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, their hearts full of longing and expectation for the future. They know that in this land of love and blessings, no matter what difficulties and challenges they encounter, they can move forward hand in hand!
