We have a story to tell in Nagada, the northeast. It is said that in the south of our big country, Qingshan Town, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the people are sincere. There is a carpenter named Li Ergou in the town, and his craftsmanship is very good, and it is an ancestral treasure. One day, Li Ergou received a job and had to build a temple at the foot of the mountain. He carried the matter on his back and went out into the mountains. It was dark, and I hadn't found a place to live, so I was in a hurry, and suddenly I saw a light in front of me, and my heart blossomed, so I hurried over.
There was a knock on the door, and footsteps were heard at the door, and a silver-haired old woman opened the door. The old woman looked at her kind eyes, but there was a little cunning in her eyes. She enthusiastically let Li Ergou into the house, the room was very elegantly decorated, and the landscape paintings hanging on the wall were full of freshness. The old woman poured tea and water for Li Ergou, and prepared a table of good dishes. Li Ergou's heart was warm, so he chatted with the old woman. The old woman said that her surname was Zhang, and she was a lonely old man at the foot of the mountain, and she wanted to ask Li Ergou to help repair the old house. When Li Ergou heard this, he thought that this could be regarded as doing a good deed, so he agreed.
In the evening, the old woman took out her home-brewed wine, and Li Ergou drank it, good guy, this wine is really good, and I couldn't help but drink a few more glasses. As a result, I was dizzy and dazzled, and I collapsed on the table. I woke up the next day and found myself in bed with the kit missing. Li Ergou was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, looking for it, but he couldn't find anything. In a hurry, the old woman came in, holding a tool bag in her hand, and said with a smile: "Young man, you drank too much last night, and I will help you put it away." Li Ergou took the kit and muttered a little in his heart, feeling that this old woman was not simple.
Li Ergou thanked the old woman and was about to leave, when the old woman suddenly grabbed him and whispered: "Young man, don't be in a hurry to leave, I have something I want to ask you, I don't know if you can agree?" Li Ergou's heart tightened, thinking about what was going on, but he said: "Old man, if there is anything, just say it, I will definitely help if I can." The old woman shook her head, sighed, grinned, and said, "Let's tell the truth, I'm not an ordinary person in this world. I am a fox spirit who has been cultivating in the mountains for many years, and when I have almost cultivated, I have changed into a human appearance. I see that you young man has a good heart and a good craft, and I want to ask you to do me a favor. When Li Ergou heard this, he was shocked, and his heart was a little hairy. But he thought about it, how could he refuse the request of the fox spirit as an ordinary person? So he stubbornly asked, "Auntie, what do you need me to do?" The old woman smiled and said, "I'm getting older, and my mana isn't as good as before." Recently, I felt that there was an evil spirit moving in the mountains, and I was afraid that some monster was causing trouble. I would like to ask you to use your carpenter's skills to make me a magic weapon that can ward off evil spirits. ”
Although Li Ergou was a little scared in his heart, he thought that if he could help this fox spirit, it would be a good thing. So he nodded and agreed. Since then, Li Ergou has stayed at the old woman's house and began to work hard to make treasures. He worked day and night, and finally made the magic weapon a week later. It was a carved wooden sword, carved with mysterious symbols and a little shimmering.
When the old woman saw the magic weapon, she couldn't close her mouth with joy, and she said to Li Ergou gratefully: "Young man, you are really my life-saving benefactor. To thank you, I decided to give you a gift. With that, she turned and went into the back room, and after a while came out with a brocade box. She opened the brocade box, and there was a crystal clear jade pendant lying inside. The old woman handed the jade pendant to Li Ergou and said, "This is the jade pendant I have refined with thousand-year-old spirit jade, wear it to keep you safe." Li Ergou took the jade pendant, and he was so grateful in his heart. He said goodbye to the old woman and set out on his way home. But how did he know that there was a big secret hidden behind this jade pendant......
Li Ergou was holding the jade pendant, surprised and delighted in his heart. He thought to himself, this old woman is really not an ordinary person, he didn't expect that he would encounter such an adventure this time. He touched the jade pendant, and it felt very warm, as if there was a warm current flowing inside. On the way home, Li Ergou had been pondering the old woman's words in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this jade pendant was not simple. He quickened his pace, wanting to hurry home and find someone who knew how to ask about the origin of this jade pendant.
Back in Qingshan Town, Li Ergou went straight to the old teahouse in the town, where everyone was there, and he could inquire about any news. He found a place to sit down, asked for a pot of tea, and began to inquire about the jade pendant with the people next to him. "Yo, Brother Ergou, you really made it this time, from now on, Li Ergou's life is very different from before. He is no longer an ordinary carpenter, but the town's rumor of the 'Guardian of the Twin Jades'. Everyone knows that he has two magical jade pendants in his hands, which can seal the evil in the world. "Li Ergou, this kid, is usually silent, but his reputation is like the heavy snow in the Northeast, he can come as soon as he says, and he can't stop it. People from all over the world wanted to come and see the two jade pendants in his hand to see what kind of treasure they were. Li Ergou knew very well in his heart that this jade pendant was not only a talisman for him, but also a heavy responsibility. He didn't dare to be sloppy, he had to watch them every day with fear, for fear that something would go wrong.
After a long time, Li Ergou slowly discovered that these two jade pendants did not seem to be simple, and he could always hear movement inside at night, as if something was greeting him. One night, he tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep, when he suddenly felt a force in the jade pendant, and sucked his whole body in. When he opened his eyes again, he was a good guy, he had actually arrived in a strange place, with beautiful mountains and rivers, birds and flowers, which was very different from the outside world.
He looked around and suddenly saw a large palace in front of him, with the three big characters "Double Jade Palace" written on it. Li Ergou was shocked and thought, this can't be the world of Jade Perry, right? With a little apprehension, he walked into the palace. There was a quiet inside, and the two old men who looked like immortal wind dao bones were sitting in the center of the main hall, they were the righteous path masters and demon path masters who refined jade pendants. When the two old men saw Li Ergou, they both had smiles on their faces.
The righteous master spoke first: "Li Ergou, you are finally here." Li Ergou was stunned for a moment and asked, "Two seniors, where is this?" Why am I here? The Demon Dao Master smiled and said, "This is the Twin Jade Palace, the space that the two of us made out together." We've been looking for someone who can protect these two jade pendants, and we're finally waiting for you. When Li Ergou heard this, he was both surprised and happy, and asked, "What is the secret of these two jade pendants?" ”
The righteous path master sighed: "These two jade pendants were originally a pair, and the two of us refined them separately. The righteous jade pendant is used to seal the evil, and the demonic jade pendant is used to absorb the evil. But after a long time, the Demon Dao Jade Pendant was eroded by the evil qi, and its strength was gone. The righteous path jade pendant in your hand is also getting weaker and weaker because of the lack of the balance of the demon path jade pendant. ”
Li Ergou's heart tightened and asked, "What should I do?" The Demon Dao Master smiled and said, "That's why we're looking for you." We plan to combine the power of the two jade pendants and refine a large jade pendant again. You are the right person. When Li Ergou heard this, he was excited and nervous, and asked, "What do I have to do?" The two old men looked at each other and smiled, and said, "You can put the two jade pendants together and refine them according to the method we taught you." ”
Li Ergou followed the instructions of the two old men, put the two pieces of jade pendant together, and began his refining journey. Hey, let's Li Ergou, that's really a capable person, look at his preoccupied appearance, our world is like it doesn't exist in his eyes. For three days and three nights, his head never stopped, and finally, the new jade pendant, shiny, more beautiful than the first two, the light, tsk, illuminated so that people's eyes could not be opened.
When the two old men looked at each other, they couldn't keep their mouths together. The old master of the righteous path praised it: "Li Ergou, your jade pendant is really good, you will be the owner of this jade pendant in the future, and you have to protect the peace and tranquility of our world." The old master of the Demon Dao was not lagging behind, and hurriedly instructed: "Remember, although this jade pendant is powerful, it has to be controlled by your brain, don't let the bad intentions be crooked." When Li Ergou heard this, he nodded like pounding garlic, indicating that he must have remembered it.
When the two old men saw that he was so attentive, they disappeared as if they were in smoke. Li Ergou was left, holding the new jade pendant in his hand, and he was excited in his heart. He knew that his little life would not be ordinary in the future. But he also firmly believes that as long as he doesn't change his original intention, he can keep this jade pendant and the peace and tranquility of this world.
Since then, Li Ergou has become a legend in Qingshan Town, using his wisdom and courage to protect every life in our land. As for the story of those two jade pendants, it has also become a good story that has been passed down through the ages in our place.
