Let's talk about the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, which is foggy, and there is an antique mountain hidden in it - Maoshan Mountain.
This mountain, the scenery is as beautiful as a painting, and it is still a treasure land of Taoism.
Legend has it that there are some masters who can call the wind and rain, catch ghosts and subdue demons.
Today, what we want to talk about is the story of a small village at the foot of Maoshan Mountain, which tells the story of a buddy who accidentally got involved in a strange incident, and finally relied on his little cleverness and courage to uncover those fogs layer by layer, and crawled out of danger.
The protagonist of the story is called Li Ergou.
Don't look at his name, in fact, he has a good heart, a big heart, and a small heart.
Usually in the blacksmith shop in the town, the sweat is like rain, and the farm tools are sharp and durable, and the villagers are very rare to him.
Li Ergou also has a little secret, he is particularly interested in Taoism, always secretly reading some Taoist books, and looking forward to the day when he can go up the mountain to find a master to learn both hands.
One day, the rich Zhang family in the town suddenly came out with bad news, the family advocate died overnight, and the death was particularly evil, it is said that the seven orifices were bleeding, and their faces were distorted, as if they had seen something scary.
The government investigated, and it turned out a bloody dagger in Li Ergou's blacksmith shop, and the dagger was engraved with the Zhang family's family crest.
Now it's okay, Li Ergou became the biggest suspect, was arrested by the government and put in prison.
Inside the cell, it was black and rumbling, wet, and the air was full of musty and desperate.
Li Ergou was locked in a cell that couldn't be smaller, and he was aggrieved in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
In the middle of the night, a strange noise suddenly broke the silence of the cell.
In the opposite cell, a woman in tattered clothes, curled up in the corner, suddenly began to hum in pain, and then, a stunned scene appeared-the woman's stomach slowly cracked, and black rats poured out of her stomach like a flood, scurrying around!
Li Ergou was frightened when he saw this scene, but he quickly calmed down and remembered the methods of exorcism written in the Taoist scriptures.
He looked around and found that there was an extra torch in the corner of the wall at some point, and his heart moved, and he thought: "Fire is full of yang energy, and any evil energy can be broken!" So he got up sharply, and rushed to the torch without hesitation, lit it, and took the torch that was blazing into the sky, and went to the woman.
The rats seemed to sense the threat and screamed one by one, trying to escape from the fire.
And the woman, under the light of the fire, slowly calmed down, and the wound on her stomach was miraculously healed.
She slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were full of gratitude and surprise, as if it was quite incredible what Li Ergou had done.
In other words, cultivation is not simple, and an evil demon appeared halfway through to make trouble.
In order to protect Liu Wan'er, the spirit fox insisted on fighting the demon, but as a result, the spirit fox did not win, and the soul was locked in Liu Wan'er's body.
Those rats are actually monsters turned into demons, and they want to use Liu Wan'er to do something unseemly.
Zhang Yuanwai's death was also a ghost made by demons, just to stir up and stir up peace, so that he could continue to do evil.
As for the dagger, it was an antique that Li Ergou inadvertently dug up when he was digging iron in the mountains, and it smelled of evil demons on it, which caused a series of misunderstandings.
When Li Ergou and Liu Wan'er knew all this, the two hit it off and decided to join forces to kill the demon.
They used torches to disperse the monsters, and according to the guidance of the Taoist scriptures, they found an ancient altar hidden in the mountains.
After a complicated ritual, the seal of the demon was finally unlocked, and the spirit of the spirit fox was reborn.
With the help of the spirit fox, Liu Wan'er completely cleared the evil qi in her body and lived a normal life again.
After this incident, Li Ergou was released by the government because of his meritorious service in saving people, and he also received the gratitude and compensation of the Zhang family.
But he did not get carried away because of this, but strengthened his determination to learn the Tao.
Under the recommendation of Liu Wan'er, he worshiped under the door of a master in Maoshan Mountain, began the path of cultivation, and became a real Taoist priest, guarding the peace of this land.
As for the story of Li Ergou and Liu Wan'er, it also spread in the town and became a topic of conversation after dinner.
In the dead of night, the town at the foot of Maoshan Mountain will resound with melodious Taoist music, as if telling the legendary story......
Okay, let's continue the story of the last book, so that you can hear what the follow-up is like.
After that, Li Ergou learned art in Maoshan, which was practicing Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer, and he was good at kung fu, and people became more and more calm.
But in his heart, he always thinks about the small village in the water town south of the Yangtze River, and the Liu Wan'er who saved his life.
No, as soon as the New Year came, the master let him go down the mountain to visit relatives, Li Ergou was like an arrow, carrying a small burden, containing a few precious talismans given by the master, and set out on the way back to his hometown.
Li Ergou's honest smile revealed a sense of warmth, and his heart was as warm as drinking hot millet porridge.
He scratched his head and grinned: "Our town, the New Year is approaching, it should be jubilant." ”
But on Chinese New Year's Eve, when every household was lit up and firecrackers were roaring, an ominous atmosphere quietly enveloped the entire town.
It turned out that the demon had not really been destroyed, but had only been temporarily hiding, and now it had made a comeback at the end of the year.
It turned into a black mist and hovered over the town, and everywhere it went, poultry and livestock fell, and people were terrified.
When Li Ergou and Liu Wan'er saw this situation, they immediately understood that something was wrong, and decided to join forces to fight against the evil demons and protect the safety of our villagers.
Li Ergou took out the treasure talisman given by the master, recited the spell, and the golden light flashed, and the demon was forced to retreat a few points.
Liu Wan'er used her knowledge of herbs to create a special incense to ward off evil spirits, and after lighting it, the whole courtyard was filled with a fresh fragrance, and the evil demons seemed to be extremely afraid of this fragrance, and retreated again and again.
Liu Wan'er said anxiously: "Brother Ergou, we have to think of a way, we can't let it run around like this." A hint of determination flashed in Li Ergou's eyes: "Yes, we have to find its nest and serve it in one pot!" After some investigation, the two discovered that the demon's lair was hidden in an abandoned ancient temple outside the town.
The ancient temple was full of yin wind and ghostly fire, obviously a place of extreme yin, very suitable for evil demons to hide.
On a dark and windy night, Li Ergou and Liu Wan'er quietly approached the ancient temple with torches, gongs and other things prepared by the villagers.
At the sound of an order, everyone worked together to surround the ancient temple, the firelight illuminated the entire night sky, the sound of gongs was deafening, and the spells to ward off evil spirits came and went.
Seeing this, the demon roared angrily and rushed out of the temple, turning into a huge black shadow in an attempt to break through the encirclement.
Li Ergou and Liu Wan'er stepped forward, one after the other, casting Taoist spells and herbs respectively, and launched a fierce battle with the demons.
During the battle, Li Ergou was in danger several times, but he was rescued by Liu Wan'er in time.
The two cooperated tacitly and gradually gained the upper hand.
Eventually, with the concerted efforts of everyone, the demon was completely defeated, turned into a wisp of green smoke, and dissipated into the night sky.
The demons have been removed, and the town has once again returned to its former peace and tranquility.
Villagers came out of their homes to celebrate the victory.
Li Ergou and Liu Wan'er stood in the crowd, looking at each other and smiling, their hearts full of satisfaction and happiness.
Liu Wan'er's voice was a little choked: "Brother Ergou, thank you, I might have ...... without you" Li Ergou patted her shoulder: "What are you talking about, who is with whom."
In the future, the peace of this town will depend on the two of us to protect it together. Li Ergou, this kid, patted his chest, and his face was arrogant.
As soon as the Spring Festival passed, he wanted to go back to Maoshan to continue his cultivation, but looking at the eager eyes of Liu Wan'er and the villagers, the little Jiujiu in his heart was shaken.
In the end, he slapped his thigh and decided to stay in this town and use his skills to add some peace and blessing to this place.
Since then, Li Ergou and Liu Wan'er have become the patron saints of this town, they not only taught the villagers some simple tricks to exorcise evil spirits and defend themselves, but also led everyone to open up the wasteland and plant herbs, and life is getting better day by day.
Under their leadership, the town is becoming more and more prosperous and harmonious.
In the blink of an eye, spring came again, and everything was revived.
In the fields of the town, the green wheat seedlings sway in the wind, just like nature has painted a vibrant picture on the earth with the most gentle brushstrokes.
Li Ergou and Liu Wan'er stood on the ridge, looking at this land full of hope, and they felt a sigh in their hearts. "Brother Ergou, look at how beautiful the scenery is in this spring, just like our life, after a cold winter, we finally ushered in spring." Liu Wan'er gently leaned on Li Ergou's shoulder, and the smile on her face was brighter than a spring flower. "Yes, Wan'er.
Let's work together to make the life of this town more and more prosperous. Li Ergou held Liu Wan'er's hand tightly, his eyes full of determination.
To celebrate the arrival of spring, a lively temple fair is held in the town.
The surrounding villagers all rushed to join in the fun, and the scene was a spectacular.
Li Ergou and Liu Wan'er were not idle, they organized a unique exorcism and blessing ceremony, and invited several Taoist priests with heads and faces to help and pray for the villagers to eliminate disasters.
At the ceremony, Li Ergou held a peachwood sword and wore a Taoist robe, which was called a heroic posture.
He recited an ancient incantation and brandished a peachwood sword, drawing applause from everyone.
Liu Wan'er was busy arranging herbal sachets and distributing them to the villagers, telling them that these sachets could ward off evil spirits and bless the safety of their families.
As soon as the temple fair ended, the fame of Li Ergou and Liu Wan'er became even louder.
Not only did they become the patron saints of the town, but they also attracted the folks from the surrounding area to learn.
In the face of these students who came from afar, Li Ergou and Liu Wan'er always taught patiently and taught them everything they had learned.
In this small town full of human feelings, Li Ergou and Liu Wan'er not only gained love and friendship, but also found their own mission and value.
They understand that as long as they have love and faith in their hearts, they can overcome all difficulties and create a better future of their own.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Li Ergou and Liu Wan'er have been holding hands for dozens of years.
Although their faces are engraved with the traces of time, their love and dedication to life have not changed at all.
They continue to guard this land and the villagers, and use their actions to tell everyone what true heroes and chivalry are.
Oops, this has to be so nagging.
That day, Li Ergou and Liu Wan'er stood in the field they had been familiar with since childhood.
The two of them took a look, hey, why aren't you the two stunned young men and little girls back then?
But they are like a mirror in their hearts, no matter how the years turn the page, they have to be like this land, hard, not falling, and keep rushing forward.
"Brother Ergou, in our lives, do you think we are worth it?" Liu Wan'er looked into the distance, and the gentleness in her eyes was like the water in the river.
"Value!
Why isn't it worth it!
Being able to guard this land with you, as well as our folks, is the most proud thing in our lives. Li Ergou held Liu Wan'er's hand tightly, and the affection in his eyes was stronger than old wine.
