Oh, this story of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River makes people's hearts warm when they hear it.
Let's talk about the rarity between the buddy who sells wine and the mysterious eldest sister, the idea of Taoist mystery and the true love of the world.
In that town, there is an old street, paved with bluestone slabs, and the shops on both sides are crowded one after another, among which the shop "Drunken Immortal Ju" is very famous, and the fragrance of wine wafts far away, attracting people from all over the world.
The boss of this "Drunken Immortal Residence" is called Li Moxuan, in his thirties, he looks very energetic, and his eyes are so unusual.
The wine he brewed was called a mellow, and after taking a sip, I felt that the ashes in my heart were washed away.
One day, the sky was getting dark, and the sunset was as red as blood, and Li Moxuan was busy cleaning up the shop and preparing to close the store.
At this time, an eldest sister who was dressed in plain clothes and looked a little haggard slowly walked into the store.
Her eyes wandered a little, as if she was looking for something, and finally her eyes fell on the pile of leftover dishes from the guests in the corner.
The eldest sister hesitated for a while, reached out and gently picked up a few vegetable leaves, and carefully put them into her arms.
Li Moxuan saw it in his eyes, and his heart couldn't help but soften.
He put down the work in his hand, walked up to the eldest sister, and asked softly, "Eldest sister, is there any difficulty at home, come here to find something to eat?"
The eldest sister raised her head, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then lowered her head again, her voice trembling a little: "Yes, the family hasn't eaten enough for a few days, and I can't help it."
When Li Moxuan heard this, his heart was even more sour.
He turned around and returned to the counter, took out a silver ingot from the drawer, and handed it to the eldest sister: "Eldest sister, you can take this bit of silver, although it is not much, but it can respond to emergencies."
If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me.
”
The eldest sister took the silver with trembling hands, tears were about to fall, and she thanked her repeatedly: "Benefactor, your great kindness, I will remember it all my life."
However, there is a saying I don't know whether to say or not...... "Say whatever you want."
Li Moxuan replied to her gently.
The eldest sister hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Benefactor, you have a good heart, but you have to pay attention to your daughter-in-law."
Recently, there seems to be something unclean in the town, and it is a matter of picking on kind-hearted people, especially those who have a good relationship between husband and wife.
I don't know why, but I hope you'll be careful.
Li Moxuan listened, frowned, although he was a little puzzled, he was still grateful for the eldest sister's reminder, nodded and thanked him, and watched the eldest sister slowly walk away.
Late at night, Li Moxuan was lying on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and the words of the eldest sister were like a stone pressing on his heart.
He thought about his daughter-in-law, Lin Wan'er, the two grew up together, and they have been married for several years, and their relationship is very good.
Is there really something trying to harm them?
Early the next morning, Li Moxuan decided to go to the Taoist temple in the town and ask the respected old Taoist chief.
The old Taoist elder listened to him, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Everything in this world has a cause and effect.
This incident you encountered may have something to do with the recent talk of 'phantom love' in the town.
"This evil spirit, using feelings as bait, seduces people's hearts, sucks away the essence of good people, and practices the evil way.
Your daughter-in-law has a good heart, but you have to pay attention.
The old Taoist priest stuffed Li Moxuan with a talisman, and also taught him a few tricks to exorcise evil spirits, telling him to carry it with him, recite the scriptures every day, and keep him safe.
Li Moxuan's heart was warm, he said goodbye to the old Taoist priest, and hurried home.
He secretly put the charm under his daughter-in-law's pillow, and secretly watched for any movement in the house.
But for a few days, there was nothing going on at home, Li Moxuan's heart was a little more steady, but that sense of foreboding lingered.
In the blink of an eye, it was a full moon night, Li Moxuan closed the door of the store and went home as usual, but found that the lights at home were not on, and it was quiet.
His heart tightened, and he hurriedly pushed the door in, everything was normal at home, but he didn't see his daughter-in-law Lin Wan'er.
He hurriedly called, but no one answered.
When he was in a hurry, a gust of wind blew, the candles in the house flickered, and a dark shadow slowly gathered in the corner of the wall.
The black shadow was wearing a black robe, and his face was not clear, but the two eyes were green, staring directly at Li Moxuan.
"You're the legendary good guy?
The shadow had a hoarse voice, seductive and threatening.
Li Moxuan's heart tightened, clenched his fists, and held on: "Who are you?"
Why do you want to harm my daughter-in-law?
The black shadow sneered: "Hmph, good people are often the biggest weakness in this world."
Your daughter-in-law has been fascinated by me, and if you don't want her to be lost, just hand over your essence honestly!
After speaking, the black shadow rushed towards Li Moxuan, and for a while, the room was cloudy, and the ghosts were scurrying.
Li Moxuan gritted his teeth, quickly took out the spell given by the old Taoist, silently recited the scriptures to exorcise evil spirits, and shook his fist and did it to the black shadow.
This battle between humans and ghosts is thrilling, Li Moxuan is in a hurry, like an ant on a hot pot, but he knows that he can't mess up at this time.
He swung his fist at the same time, although there was no discipline, but the desperate strength made the black shadow dare not approach easily.
On the one hand, he was still reciting the verses taught by the old Taoist priest, his voice was not loud, but it was firm, like a fire in winter, warm and powerful.
"You wicked, don't try to harm my daughter-in-law!
Although I, Li Moxuan, am an ordinary person, my righteous heart is not easy to bully!
He roared, his hands moving faster, and each punch carried the momentum of wind and thunder, as if it could shake the heavens and the earth.
The black shadow obviously didn't expect Li Moxuan to be so tenacious, the green light in his eyes flickered, and his voice was a little more annoyed: "Hmph, just a mortal, dare to fight with me?"
Look for death!
As he spoke, the black aura around the black shadow was swirling, and his body instantly became larger, turning into a huge ghost, and he rushed at Li Moxuan with his mouth open.
At this critical juncture, Li Moxuan felt that the talisman in his hand suddenly became hot, and a warm current poured into his whole body from the palm of his hand, he seemed to be surrounded by an invisible force, and his whole person was fluttering.
This young man is really a hard stubble, and with that momentum, his body shook, and he actually escaped the ghost's fatal move.
A backhand slap hit the ghost in the heart.
With a "bang", the ghost was beaten to the ground, and the black gas was scattered, and it looked like it was not lightly injured.
But this ghost, it didn't admit defeat, and let out bursts of terrible screams, wanting to confuse Li Moxuan with its voice.
But Li Moxuan, his heart was like water, and he was unmoved.
He knew that only by completely eradicating this evil could he protect the peace of his family and the town.
So, he recited the scriptures silently again, sealed his hands, concentrated all the power in his palms, and then pushed violently.
"There is no limit, and righteousness lasts forever!
Break!
With a roar of rage, a dazzling golden light shot out from his palm, heading straight for the ghost.
Wherever the golden light passed, the black gas dispersed, and the ghost's screams came to an abrupt end.
Eventually, the golden light completely engulfed the ghost, leaving only a mess of houses and dust.
The battle was over, but Li Moxuan didn't feel easy in his heart.
He hurried out of the house and searched everywhere for his wife's whereabouts.
Fortunately, after a while, he found the unconscious Lin Wan'er under the big tree at the entrance of the village.
Her face was pale, her eyes were closed, but her breathing was steady, apparently trapped by ghostly ecstasy, and nothing serious.
Li Moxuan carefully picked up his wife, his heart full of gratitude and happiness.
He knew that all of this was due to the old Taoist and the spell.
When he got home, he immediately boiled his wife a bowl of soothing soup, and when she woke up, he told in detail everything that happened tonight.
After Lin Wan'er heard this, she was both shocked and grateful, and hugged Li Moxuan tightly, tears rolling in her eyes.
"Mo Xuan, it's all my fault, which makes you worried.
In the future, we must be more careful not to allow evil spirits to take advantage of them.
Li Moxuan gently patted his wife's back and comforted: "Wan'er, don't say that.
We are husband and wife, and we are supposed to share weal and blight.
This time, the danger was averted, thanks to the kind woman and the old Taoist.
In the future, we must do more good deeds, accumulate virtue and do good, and naturally we will be able to turn evil into good fortune.
”
Since then, Li Moxuan and Lin Wan'er have cherished each other more and are more enthusiastic about helping others.
They set up a free school in the town to teach the children to read and write, and often helped those who were in need.
And "Drunken Immortal Residence" has also become famous for their good deeds, attracting more customers.
As for that evil thing, although it never happened again, Li Moxuan and Lin Wan'er always remained vigilant.
They believe that with justice in their hearts, they can find a solution, no matter how great the difficulties they encounter.
"Let's say, what is the most important thing in this life?
You have to have a good eye and do more good deeds.
In this way, no matter how big the hurdle is, there are people who can help and save the day.
At the end of the old storyteller's summary, the smile on his face was like a flower.
The audience also nodded their heads like pounding garlic, and the flames in the stove danced happily, reflecting the warm faces of each other.
The snow was fluttering outside, but the house was very warm, and even the air seemed to be floating with an indescribable warmth and harmony.
When everyone heard this, their eyes widened like copper bells, and they urged the old storyteller to continue talking.
The old storyteller looked at this scene, the corners of his mouth raised, and he took a sip of tea proudly, and then continued slowly.
At that time, Li Moxuan and Lin Wan'er were old, and there was a sudden drought in the south of the Yangtze River.
The rivers dried up, the crops wilted, and the people were miserable.
Although the imperial court said that it had distributed food and money for disaster relief, how could it be enough, and for a while, the entire Jiangnan was shrouded in despair.
”
When the old storyteller said this, his tone sank, and the audience frowned unconsciously, as if they could understand the pain.
At this moment, Li Moxuan and Lin Wan'er stood up.
Not only did they take out all their savings, but they also ran around, mobilizing villagers to build canals and divert water to irrigate the land.
But you know what?
It was difficult to build the canal, you had to climb over the mountains and mountains, and you had to avoid those dangerous ditches and swamps.
”
The old storyteller deliberately paused to see how the audience reacted.
Sure enough, everyone held their breath, for fear of missing a little.
"But our Li Moxuan, he's a man with ideas.
He remembered that the Taoist spell he learned from the old Taoist elder when he was young, although it couldn't call the wind and rain, but it was more than enough to explore the terrain and avoid danger.
So, he led a group of young men, with a compass in his hand, to look at the stars at night and the direction of the wind during the day, and found a secret path to the water source in those mountains.
”
"Lin Wan'er, she is not idle.
"This girl is really a capable person, not only organized the village ladies and children, sewed clothes and made dry food for the men who built the canals, but also went to the fields herself and taught them to grow those drought-tolerant crops.
As soon as this matter was done, everyone's urgent matter was immediately solved.
Her intelligence and virtuousness make everyone admire and love her.
The old storyteller's voice was full of admiration for them, and everyone who listened to the story was also moved by the old couple's affection and admiration.
After a lot of hard fighting, the canal was finally built.
The clear water of the river flows down the channel, nourishing not only the land, but also the hearts of the people.
That year, the crops in Jiangnan were so good that the common people were happy, and they all said that Li Moxuan and Lin Wan'er were living bodhisattvas who rescued the suffering.
”
"The reputation of 'Drunken Immortal Residence' has also been greatly boosted because of this, not only because of the aroma of wine, but also because of Li Moxuan and Lin Wan'er's golden hearts.
They used their actions to tell everyone what true kindness and courage are, and also made everyone understand that as long as there is love in their hearts, there is nothing that cannot be overcome.
”
The story of the old storyteller is finished, but the audience is still reluctant.
They gathered around the stove and continued to chat about the legend of Li Moxuan and Lin Wan'er, with admiration and yearning on their faces.
Outside, the snow stopped, and the moon hung in the sky, shedding a silver light.
The night was quiet, as if they were also praising the good deeds of the old couple.
