Hey, hey, in the south of us, there is a foggy ravine called Wuyin Village.
This place is beautiful and warm all year round, but it hides some unsavory secrets and stories.
At that time, the spring girl was making a fuss, and the peach blossoms were smiling so much that the ravines and ravines were red, but they couldn't hide the sadness at the gate of the Li family.
The eldest lady of the Li family, Li Wan'er, is only eighteen, just the same age as a flower, who wants to have an incurable disease, so she left, leaving a room of tears and sighs.
Li Wan'er, who looks like a flower and has a gentle temperament like water, has been the white moonlight in the hearts of our village since she was a child.
She loved flowers, especially the wild peach blossoms in the ravine, and she always said, "If I could be like the stars and you would be like the moon, we would be shining every night." Her fiancé, Zhang Yunyi, is also a handsome and dashing young man, both civil and military, and his love for Wan'er is as deep as the sea, the two should have been a natural pair, just waiting for a good day to do a happy event.
When Zhang Yunyi heard this, he hurried over, seeing that Yiren was no longer there, his heart was like a knife, he knelt in front of the spirit, and vowed to complete his unfinished relationship with Wan'er.
He knew that Wan'er liked to be lively before her death, and he didn't want her to be too lonely, so he made an earth-shattering request: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, please, on the night of Wan'er's first seven, give her a secret marriage, so that she can marry in a beautiful way over there." When the second elder of the Li family heard this, he was in tears, but he was also grateful for Yunyi's affection, so he nodded and agreed.
But Yunyi's next words made everyone stunned: "No need for gold and silver, no need for delicacies from the mountains and seas, give me ten oceans, and I can do this, and make this underworld marriage a good story for the ages." ”
You see, Zhang Yunyi's ten oceans, what kind of ordinary goods, that is the fragment of the "Soul Gathering Bead" that he worked hard to fish up from the East China Sea.
This thing, but it's an ancient treasure, it can gather souls and make fate, and it's amazing.
Although it is only a fragment, with the blessing of Li Banxian's magical powers, Wan'er's soul can be temporarily stabilized and this underworld marriage will be done.
On the day of the wedding, I didn't hear any loud voices, but I heard the wind whispering there, and the flowers dancing lightly.
The souls of Zhang Yunyi and Wan'er slowly worshipped in the moonlight and made a long-lasting promise.
At that moment, time seemed to have stopped, and the entire Wuyin Village was immersed in an indescribable tranquility and sorrow.
As soon as the ceremony was over, Wan'er's soul slowly dispersed in the night, but her gentle smiling face was forever engraved on Zhang Yunyi's heart.
He knew in his heart that although Wan'er was gone, their love was longer than the sky and deeper than the sea, and they would stay in this world forever.
Since then, Wuyin Village has had such a good story that has been sung through the ages.
Every time the peach blossoms bloom, people will think of the bizarre underworld marriage, as well as the pair of lovers who crossed life and death.
Zhang Yunyi, who has not remarried since then, guarded the memories of He Wan'er, and guarded the peach blossom forest until his hair turned white and turned into a trace of affection in the wind.
Since Da Wan'er left, Zhang Yunyi's whole person has changed, the young man who used to talk and laugh has become less talkative, and he spends his days in the peach blossom forest, competing with those peach trees.
When the people in the village saw this, they all shook their heads, sighed, and said that this young man was really stunned.
But who would have thought that a few years later, Zhang Yunyi made a big move in the peach blossom forest.
He didn't know where he learned this skill, and began to cultivate new varieties in the peach forest, and the peach blossoms were even brighter than in previous years, and the fragrance could waft out for miles.
What's even more amazing is that the peaches he grows are big and sweet, and eating them can make people feel a hundred times more energetic, as if they are really fairy.
Now, Wuyin Village is on fire.
Zhang Yunyi's peaches have become a sought-after commodity, and even people from other villages come to try the legendary "fairy peach".
Zhang Yunyi is not stingy, generously shared with the villagers, and taught everyone how to plant and raise.
Slowly, Wuyin Village became famous because of this peach, and the days became more and more prosperous.
But in Zhang Yunyi's heart, there is always a knot.
He always felt that Wan'er hadn't gone far, just in this peach forest, watching him and accompanying him.
So, he made a bold decision - to build a small temple in the depths of the peach forest to enshrine Wan'er's spiritual seat, so that her soul has a place to rest, and the villagers have a place to pray.
As soon as this incident came out, the village was in an uproar.
Some people say that Zhang Yunyi is infatuated, and some people say that he is messing around.
But Zhang Yunyi didn't care about that, and with a few villagers who were willing to help, he built a small and exquisite temple in the depths of the peach forest.
Although this temple is small, it is very effective, what is asking for marriage, asking for children, asking for peace, as long as you are sincere, it will work.
In the blink of an eye, several years have passed.
Zhang Yunyi, a young man, has also changed from a hairy boy to a middle-aged uncle, but his deep affection for Wan'er has not changed at all.
He often sat alone in front of the temple, staring at the peach blossoms in the garden in a daze, and there were words in his mouth, as if Wan'er was listening to him beside him.
One day, a wandering monk came to the village, whose name was Huiming.
This Huiming monk is well-informed, and he can see at a glance that Zhang Yunyi is different from this peach forest and this temple.
He took the initiative to find Zhang Yunyi, and after chatting for a while, the monk Huiming told Zhang Yunyi a shocking secret - Wan'er's soul has actually been here all along, becoming a part of the peach forest, guarding this land and guarding Zhang Yunyi.
Zhang Yunyi listened, tears flowed, and the knot in his heart for many years was finally untied.
He knelt in front of Monk Huiming and thanked him repeatedly.
Monk Huiming smiled slightly and said, "Donor, you don't have to thank me, this is the fate of the two of you, and it is also the result of your good deeds and accumulation of virtue."
Remember, love, that is the power that transcends life and death, allows you to see hope in despair and find light in darkness. Since then, Zhang Yunyi has taken care of the peach forest and temples with great care, and he knows that this is not only a miss for Wan'er, but also a responsibility to him to this land and the villagers.
The villagers of Wuyin Village also respect Zhang Yunyi even more, and they believe that it is Wan'er's spirit in the sky and Zhang Yunyi's persistence that give this small village a new vitality.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Zhang Yunyi has also reached his old age.
His story, along with the peach blossom forest and the temple, has become the most valuable treasure of Wuyin Village.
Every time the spring flowers bloom, there are always tourists who come to listen to the old people tell this love story that spans life and death, and feel the pure and firm emotion.
And Zhang Yunyi, at the last moment of his life, lay in the peach house he built with his own hands, looking at the peach blossoms in the garden outside the window, with a satisfied smile on his face.
He seemed to see Wan'er, wearing his favorite red wedding dress, dancing in the peach blossom rain, beckoning to him.
At that moment, he knew that he was about to reunite with Wan'er and continue their unfinished relationship in another world.
Zhang Yunyi left, walked peacefully, and walked without regrets.
According to his last wishes, the villagers buried him in his favorite peach blossom forest, next to the small temple dedicated to Wan'er's spiritual seat.
There are no fancy words engraved on the tombstone, just four simple words - "Yunyi's Tomb", and a line of small words is engraved next to it: "May the next life continue the frontier".
Spring goes to autumn, year after year, the peach blossoms in Wuyin Village are still blooming brilliantly.
But people found that every time Zhang Yunyi's death day or Wan'er's death day, the peach blossoms in the peach forest seemed to be more vivid than usual, and the fragrance was more intense, as if they were silently paying tribute to the pair of bitter mandarin ducks.
The older generation in our village always love to chatter, saying that although Zhang Yunyi and Wan'er are gone, their souls are still guarding our land, protecting Wuyin Village, guarding every inch of soil and every peach tree here.
As soon as this word spread, it slowly became the rule of our village - every year when the peach blossoms bloomed, the people in the village spontaneously ran into the peach forest, swept the graves of Zhang Yunyi and Wan'er, put flowers and offerings, and begged them to bless them.
After a long time, this peach forest has become a scenery in our village, and it is also a holy place for everyone to express their emotions and seek peace.
Every holiday, or when there are happy or difficult events at home, the villagers will come here to worship and talk about their hearts, as if Zhang Yunyi and Wan'er can really hear it, and they can really give everyone strength and comfort.
In the blink of an eye, decades have passed, and our Wuyin Village has also changed.
The roads in the village were repaired, electricity was connected, schools and small factories were built, and the days became more and more prosperous.
But no matter how the times change, the nostalgia and admiration for Zhang Yunyi and Wan'er, the hearts of the people in our village have not changed.
One spring, several young college students came to the village, and they listened to the story of Zhang Yunyi and Wan'er, and they were so moved that they decided to stay and do something.
After some research and planning, they decided to build an ecological farm on the edge of the peach forest, which not only protected this precious peach blossom forest, but also drove the economic development of the village.
As soon as the idea was proposed, the villagers strongly supported it.
Everyone worked together, and it didn't take long for an ecological farm integrating sightseeing, picking, and leisure to be built.
There are many varieties of peach trees in the farm, as well as a variety of seasonal vegetables and fruits, which attract many people to play.
What's more interesting is that there is also a "love corner" in the farm, which specializes in some couple activities, so that young people can feel the love of Zhang Yunyi and Wan'er that transcends life and death.
As the reputation of the farm grows, our Wuyin Village has also been revitalized.
The villagers' living standards have improved and they are smiling.
But they know that all this is inseparable from the blessing and protection of Zhang Yunyi and Wan'er.
Therefore, every year during the Peach Blossom Festival, a grand sacrifice is held in the village to thank them for their gifts and pray for good weather and abundant crops in the coming year.
The story of Zhang Yunyi and Wan'er has also spread all over the world with the word of mouth of tourists.
Some say it's the power of love, some say it's the power of faith, and some say it's the gift of nature.
No matter what you say, Zhang Yunyi and Wan'er have become a business card of our Wuyin Village and even the entire region, an eternal legend.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is another spring.
The peach blossoms bloomed again in the sky above Wuyin Village, and the peach forest that witnessed the deep friendship between Zhang Yunyi and Wan'er is now even more lush and vibrant.
And the souls of Zhang Yunyi and Wan'er also seem to have turned into this peach blossom rain all over the mountains, forever guarding this land and the people here.
