In other words, in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, there is a buddy named Li Sanlang, let's say, he is a serious businessman, and he has saved some silver in his hand, so he thinks about getting a new nest and living a stable life.
This Li Sanlang's vision is not ordinary poison, and he fell in love with an old mansion on the edge of the town that had been abandoned for many years.
The house, although it is dilapidated, but the location is leveraged, close to the mountain and water, especially the ancient well in the backyard, although it has dried up for many years, but the antique smell is really indescribable.
Li Sanlang summed up in his heart, this place, with a little picking, will definitely become a treasure of feng shui.
So, without saying a word, as soon as the silver was taken out, the house became his.
Since Li Saburo moved into a new home, he has been busy every day, tinkering, and the scene is really hot.
When the neighbors saw it, they all praised him for his good vision, saying that as soon as the house passed through his hands, it immediately came to life.
But on a sunny afternoon, something strange happened.
That day, Li Sanlang was standing in the backyard, staring at the ancient well in a daze, wondering whether to find someone to fill it in and save space.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the ancient well "gurgled", and then, a clear spring gushed out from the bottom of the well, and the water was so clear that it could illuminate the figure of a person, as if it could wash away the distracting thoughts in people's hearts.
"Oh mom, why did this well suddenly come out of the water on its own?
Li Sanlang was surprised and delighted, thinking that this must be a good sign, and hurriedly took a wooden bucket and made a bucket of water.
The water, when you take a sip, is incredibly sweet, much stronger than the water in the town.
The news spread quickly, and the neighbors came to see the excitement, some of them were full of praise, and some of them muttered in their hearts.
At this moment, the well-informed old man in the village, on crutches, walked over tremblingly, looked at the ancient well, and frowned.
"San Lang, you have to be careful with this water, don't drink it indiscriminately!
The old man's words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which made everyone present stunned.
"Why, old man?
How sweet this water is!
Li Saburo asked puzzled.
The old man sighed and said slowly, "Do you know why this well has been abandoned for so many years?
Legend has it that in the early years, there was a well dragon king living in this well, because the people in the town were greedy and took water too hard, which annoyed the dragon king, so the well water dried up, which was a warning.
Now that the water has suddenly come out again, it may be that the dragon king has something to explain, or ......" The old man said this, deliberately stopped, and did not go on.
When everyone heard this, their hearts were all up and down, and Li Sanlang was even more drumming in his heart, although he was a businessman, he usually respected the gods and didn't want to do anything inauthentic.
This matter has to start with Li Sanlang, the little Jiujiu in his heart, we have to think about it.
At that time, he thought that he had to find someone who understood to show him, and he was more down-to-earth.
Said let's go, the next day as soon as it was dawn, Li Sanlang hurried to the town and went straight to the temple.
In that Taoist temple, there is a person named Zhang Tianshi, surnamed Zhang, a famous celestial master, a famous master in the town, what kind of spells and spells, that is called a proficient, for those gods and ghosts, the door is clear.
As soon as Zhang Tianshi heard Li Sanlang's intention, he was very happy, picked up the dust and followed.
When he arrived at Li Sanlang's house, he stood by the well, his eyes closed, his mouth was chattering, and suddenly his eyes opened, and his eyes were like a glow, and he said in a deep voice: "This well, it's not a small role, there is really dragon energy in it, but it's not a bad omen."
When Li Sanlang heard this, his heart became a little more steady, and he hurriedly asked why.
Zhang Tianshi explained: "The dragon lord in the well is the god of water, the water is clear, but there is spiritual power in it, and ordinary people can't stand it."
If you drink it hard, you're in trouble.
But if it can be protected by its old man, it will be a blessing.
After speaking, Zhang Tianshi took out a charm from his sleeve, snapped it on the edge of the well, and told Li Sanlang: "Every morning, you use the water in this well to water the flowers and wash things, but don't drink it."
Also, on the first and fifteenth day of each month, you have to worship the Dragon King of the Well with three animals to show your sincerity.
When Li Sanlang heard this, he nodded like pounding garlic, and he was grateful to Zhang Tianshi in his heart.
At this moment, an earth-shattering dragon roar suddenly came from the well, and then a powerful column of water rushed from the bottom of the well to the sky, shaking the surrounding snowflakes everywhere.
Everyone exclaimed, only to see a well-dragon king wearing scale armor and a dragon head slowly rising up from the water, his eyes were sharp and violent.
"Which Taoist priest is so bold as to dare to disturb the king's Qing Xiu!
The voice of the Well Dragon King was low and powerful, and it shook the ears of everyone present.
Yun Youzi saw this posture, quickly put away his sword, and saluted respectfully: "In Xia Yun Youzi, passing by here, I feel that something is not quite right in the well, so I came to find out."
If you are offended, please also ask the Dragon King to have a large amount.
”
When the Well Dragon King heard this, his face softened slightly, but he was still vigilant: "Do you know that this well water is transformed by the king's aura, not ordinary water.
Over the years, I have felt an evil aura spreading nearby, and I am afraid that it will have a bad impact on the world, so I have been guarding here and not daring to leave easily.
As soon as Li Sanlang heard this, it suddenly dawned on him that all these years of peace and quiet were silently guarded by King Jinglong.
He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed in thanks: "Thank you for the protection of the Dragon King, I am really ignorant and offended, and I ask the Dragon King to be magnanimous."
”
King Jing Dragon waved his hand and motioned for Li Sanlang to get up: "You mortals, it is understandable that you don't understand the mystery of this.
But now, that evil spirit is getting stronger and stronger, and I'm afraid I can't stop it alone.
It will take a concerted effort to defuse this disaster.
When Yun Youzi heard this, he immediately said: "I am willing to help the Dragon King to eradicate the evil together."
Li Sanlang also did not hesitate: "Although I am just a businessman, I also know what righteousness is."
If the Dragon King has any orders, just say, I will do my best.
”
King Jing Dragon nodded, his gaze swept over everyone present, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, since you all have this heart, then I'll say it directly."
That evil spirit came from a barren mountain outside the town, and there was a monster hidden in the mountain, which absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, cultivated into essence, and wanted to harm the world.
I can suppress it temporarily, but it's not a long-term solution.
We need to find someone who is destined to hold an ancient artifact in order to eradicate it completely.
""Kamiko Sacred Artifacts?
When everyone heard this, they were all puzzled and full of expectations.
King Jinglong continued: "This artifact is called the 'Demon Bell', hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, and only those who are destined can see it.
"Oh, this has to be done quickly, we have to leave immediately to get the town demon bell back.
The old man of the Jinglong King also said that he would send some brothers of the water tribe to help secretly.
As soon as the words fell, the Well Dragon King flashed, turned into a golden light, and drilled back into the well with a whoosh, leaving a sentence: "Time waits for no one, go and go back quickly!"
”
Li Sanlang, Yun Youzi, and a few bold villagers, after listening to the words of the Jinglong King, set out on the road to find the town demon bell.
They crossed mountains, crossed snow-capped mountains, broke through dangerous passes, and finally found the legendary demon bell in an inconspicuous cave.
This town demon bell is full of golden light, and it makes people feel energetic when they look at it.
Li Sanlang grabbed the demon bell, feeling warm in his heart, as if he had some indescribable connection with this baby.
They returned to the town with the Demon Bell and went to the barren mountain with the water tribe brothers of the Jinglong King.
After some fighting, he finally forced the monster out of its original form and sealed it with the demon bell.
As soon as the monster was sealed, the heavens and the earth were shaken, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sun sprinkled all over the earth again.
When the people in the town heard about it, they all came to see the excitement, and they were so happy that they were very grateful to Li Sanlang.
An eldest lady was in tears, took Li Sanlang's hand and said, "Oh mom, you guys are so good!"
Our town is safe now, thanks to you!
Li Sanlang laughed, waved his hand and said, "Auntie, you are too polite, this is the result of everyone's concerted efforts, and I have to thank King Jinglong for his blessing."
”
Yun Youzi stood aside, looking at the demon bell on the ground, his eyes were complicated.
He knew that this was not only the end of the battle, but also the beginning of a new responsibility.
He walked up to Li Sanlang and whispered, "Brother Sanlang, although this town demon bell has sealed the monster, its power is too great, and if it falls into the hands of bad people, the consequences will be serious."
I think we've got to find a safe place and seal it forever.
”
Li Sanlang listened, pondered for a while, and then nodded and said, "Daoist Yunyouzi is right, then let's put the Demon Suppression Bell back in the cave, and then set up a mechanism to ensure that no one can find it."
Everyone agreed, so they went back to the cave and set up the demon bells, and set up a lot of traps and charms to ensure safety.
After the matter of the town demon bell was dealt with, Li Saburo decided to hold a celebration in the town to thank all the people who helped and also celebrate the town's rebirth.
At the festival, there are good food, there are good looks, and the whole town is immersed in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.
Although the King of the Well Dragon did not come, his kindness was remembered by everyone in the town.
Li Sanlang also built a small temple for King Jinglong in the backyard, offering incense every day, hoping that King Jinglong would continue to bless the town with safety.
Time flies, in a blink of an eye, and decades have passed in a blink of an eye.
Although our Li Sanlang is old, he still has that momentum, and he runs to the well every day without moving, telling the stories of the past to the descendants in the village.
The dragon lord in the well seems to have felt his heart, the well water is still so clear and bright, sweet and silky, nourishing this land and us.
One day, a little Taoist priest came to the town, saying that he was Yun Youzi's apprentice and was looking for some treasure.
As soon as he heard the story of the demon bell, the light of surprise and admiration in his eyes was like a glow.
"It turns out that the hero that Master said is your old man, Old Man Li.
The little Taoist priest bowed respectfully to Li Sanlang.
Li Sanlang waved his hand happily: "What a hero, I am just a businessman, and I can do these things, thanks to everyone's help and the care of the Dragon King."
”
When the little Taoist priest heard this, he sighed in his heart, like waves of the sea.
He told Li Sanlang that he came here for another purpose, which was to learn how to protect the land and the people.
He hopes to become the guardian saint of this land in the future, just like Li Saburo and Yun Youzi.
When Li Sanlang heard this, he felt comfortable in his heart, nodded and said, "Good job, the young man has ambition, our town needs a descendant like you."
Don't worry, I'll tell you everything I know, and we'll protect this land together.
”
Since then, the little Taoist priest has settled in the town and followed Li Sanlang to learn this and that.
They patrol the mountains and forests together to guard against evil spirits; Teach children the Tao and inherit the culture together.
Thanks to their efforts, the town has become more and more harmonious, and the people's lives have become happier and happier.
And the story about the King of the Well Dragon, the Demon Bell and Li Sanlang, like the river, has been passed down from generation to generation over time.
This is not just a legend, it is also a spirit, a spirit that does not bow down in the face of difficulties, bravely takes responsibility, and unites as one.
This spirit will always inspire the people of this land to keep moving forward and create a better tomorrow.
