Hey, there are really a lot of stories about Nagada in our northeast, and I'll give you a new story about this Yunyin Village today. This village, although it is not big, is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, especially Li Dashan in the east of the village, who is a stubborn and skilled craftsman. Recently, Li Dashan's house has been lively, people in their fifties are about to marry the second spring, and this matter has exploded in the village.
Li Dashan, who lost his wife in his early years, raised two children by himself, and now that the children are married and have a business, he wants to find another companion and spend his days together. No, he fell in love with Cuilan in the neighboring village, a gentle and kind woman, although she is not young, she still has charm. The two hit it off and decided to spend the rest of their lives together.
In order to marry Cuilan, Li Dashan plans to build a new house on the feng shui treasure outside the village. That place, surrounded by mountains and rivers, is shrouded in morning mist, and the sky is full of sunshine at sunset, and it is as beautiful as a painting. The people in the village were very envious when they saw it, and they came to help, and the construction site was called a bustle.
But just as the foundation was about to be dug, an old man in ragged clothes, on crutches, staggered by. The old man's hair and beard were white, but his eyes were bright, he stopped, looked around, frowned, and finally his eyes fell on Li Dashan. "Hey, this old man, you can't build this house!" The old man spoke suddenly, not loud, but clear.
When Li Dashan heard this, he was stunned, put down his hoe, wiped his sweat, walked up to the old man, and asked, "Old man, what do you mean by this?" The feng shui here is good, and the people in the village say so. The old man shook his head and said with a solemn expression: "Feng Shui is good, but do you know what is hidden under this foundation?" Li Dashan was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Isn't it just soil and stones, what else can there be?" The old man sighed and said slowly: "No, this place is a thousand-year-old rat's nest, and the rat king has practiced for many years and has become a spirit. If you force your house to build, beware of angering the Rat King and bringing calamity. ”
Li Dashan listened, although he muttered a little in his heart, but his mouth was still hard: "Old man, you are too worried, I, Li Dashan, have been frank all my life, what is so terrible?" Besides, how can this house construction stop because of a sentence? When the old man saw him like this, he didn't say much, sighed softly, left a sentence of "good for yourself", turned around and left, and disappeared into the mountains and forests.
When the villagers saw that the old man was gone, they all gathered around and discussed. Some said that the old man was talking nonsense, and some persuaded Li Dashan to think again. But Li Dashan has made up his mind and is determined to build a house. In the following days, he led the workers to work overtime, and soon, a brand new wedding room was erected, which was called a grand style. In our village, the newly built house is as strong as iron, and it looks very good, so that everyone in the village is full of praise. But who would have thought that just when Li Dashan's happy day was approaching, under the calm surface, strange things came out one after another. First, the chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs in the village disappeared inexplicably. Then at night, I could always hear the "squeak" sound, as thin as a needle, but very clear, around the new house, listening to the hair in people's hearts. What's even more terrifying is that a few bold young men sneaked to the new house at night to take a look, and found a series of small but neat footprints on the ground, leading directly to the bottom of the new house, as if something was sneaking at us.
Although Li Dashan was a little hairy in his heart, he still held on to it on the surface, he felt that this was just a coincidence, or that everyone was scaring themselves. But the night before the wedding, a sudden storm completely shattered his illusions. That night, the thunder roared, the rain crackled, and the new house swayed in the wind, as if it were going to collapse at any moment. Li Dashan hurriedly summoned people to strengthen the house, but suddenly found that under the new house, there was water moving, as if something was turning the river and the sea below. Everyone was frightened, and there was a lot of discussion, thinking, could the old guy be right, what kind of secret is there down here?
Just when everyone was gossiping and at a loss, a bolt of lightning pierced the night sky and illuminated a corner of the new house. Li Dashan faintly saw a huge black shadow under the foundation by the bright light of the lightning, slowly wriggling under the foundation, the black shadow was terrifyingly large, his eyes were as bright as lanterns, and he was staring at them viciously, as if he was about to rush out at any time and swallow everything.
At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed into the crowd, it was the old man passing by. His clothes were soaked, but his expression was determined, and with a glowing staff in his hand, he strode to the new house. "Don't panic, everyone, I'm prepared." The old man's voice was loud and full of energy, as if he had reassured everyone at once. "Why are you here?" Li Dashan hurriedly caught up, his face full of anxiety and doubt. "If I don't come, I'm afraid this village will be in great trouble." As he spoke, the old man took out a yellow cloth package from his bosom and carefully opened it, inside was a piece of talisman paper and several unknown magic weapons. "Under this foundation, there is indeed a rat king who has become a spirit. It has been practicing for thousands of years, it already has a spirituality, and now that you have moved its foundation, it will naturally not give up. The old man's eyes were like torches, looking directly at the dark shadow under the new house. So what should we do? Li Dashan asked eagerly. You stand back and let me deal with this rat king. After the old man finished speaking, he pasted the talisman paper on the staff, chanted the words in his mouth, and then waved the staff violently, and a golden light shot straight into the black shadow under the foundation. The black shadow seemed to be injured by the golden light, let out a terrible scream, and then fell silent. But the old man did not let his guard down, he continued to wave his staff, muttering words in his mouth, and at the same time took out several magic weapons from the package and arranged them around the new house. Heck, it's not easy, we have to take care of it. As the old saying goes, the Maoshan faction's demon suppression formation can temporarily suppress the rat king. As soon as the old man said this, Li Dashan's heart was like a roller coaster, and he suddenly mentioned his throat: "This ...... What's going on? "Don't worry, we have a trick." The old man looked calm, patted his chest and promised, "You hurry up and ask people to prepare some glutinous rice and realgar wine, this is very good for dealing with demons and evils." ”
When Li Dashan heard this, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately ordered someone to prepare. After a while, the villagers were all over the place. The old man took the glutinous rice and realgar wine, and sprinkled it around the new house, and everywhere he sprinkled, he heard the faint roar, as if something was struggling there. Suddenly, there was a "boom" under the foundation, as if something was about to rush out, and everyone was frightened and fled for their lives when they saw this formation. But the old man, as steady as Mount Tai, held the staff in his hand tightly, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, staring at the black shadow that was about to break through the ground.
It was too late, and a frighteningly large rat came out from under the foundation, its eyes as red as lanterns, its fangs sticking out, and its fur shiny. Isn't this the real body of the Rat King! As soon as the Rat King appeared, he rushed straight to the old man. The old man was not in a hurry, and with a wave of his staff, the golden light shone brightly, forcing the Rat King to take a few steps back. But the Rat King didn't seem to be afraid of this golden light, and roared and rushed up again. At this moment, Li Dashan stepped forward, holding a hoe in his hand, and smashed it at the head of the Rat King, and the force smashed the Rat King into a daze. The old man took the opportunity to wave his staff again, and the golden light entered the body of the Rat King, and the Rat King's body shook, and finally turned into a cloud of black smoke and dissipated in the air.
The village fell silent all of a sudden, and the villagers gathered around from all sides, one by one dumbfounded. Who would have thought that such a terrifying secret would be hidden under this ordinary wedding room. "Sir, you really saved our whole village!" Li Dashan was so excited that he burst into tears, and held the old man's hand tightly, "Your old man is really a living immortal!" "Haha, what kind of living immortal am I." The old man waved his hand and responded with a smile, "I'm just a little Taoist priest of the Maoshan sect." ”
"Then why did your old man pass by our village?" Li Dashan asked curiously. "That's fate." The old man smiled and said, "I have traveled all over the world, and I happened to pass by here, and I saw the demonic spirit on the top of the village, so I stopped by to have a look." I didn't expect to really run into this rat king. "Oh mom, thank you so much!" Li Dashan was so excited that he didn't know what to say, "Your old man saved the life of our village!" "You're welcome." The old man waved his hand and said, "Remember, everything in this world has spirituality, and we can't violate it at will." "Oh, if you don't get this thing right, you'll have to make a fuss." "Yes, yes, you're right." Li Dashan nodded like pounding garlic, with a serious face. Since then, he has never dared to act rashly and stay away from that land. The new house, known as the "Town Demon House" by the villagers, has become a good story in Yunyin Village. And the old man who passed by was regarded as a "living fairy" by everyone and became a mysterious legend in the village.
From that night on, Yunyin Village seemed to have regained its former peace, but everyone left indelible traces in their hearts. In the dead of night, when the wind blows through the village, you can always hear some subtle "squeak" sound, like the rat king whispering. But the villagers all understood that it was just the sound of the wind blowing leaves, and the rat king had long since ceased to exist.
Li Dashan stood in front of the new house, looking at the house that had almost become his nightmare, and his heart was mixed. He was grateful to the old man who was passing by, and he was also glad for his good fortune, but more than that, he was afraid and vigilant. He realizes that his recklessness and arrogance towards nature almost brought disaster to the village. "Living Immortals, you are really Living Immortals!" Li Dashan muttered to himself, his eyes shining with awe. He decided that in the future, he would respect nature more, revere life, and stop acting rashly.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Li Dashan's wedding came as scheduled. Although the new house has gone through twists and turns, it is still new and joyful after some renovation. On the day of the wedding, the whole village was immersed in joy, as if the turmoil had never happened. But just when the wedding was in full swing, an uninvited guest suddenly visited. He was wearing a Taoist robe and holding a dustbrush, and it was the old man who passed by, the Taoist priest of Maoshan Mountain. His appearance surprised Li Dashan and the whole village.
"Old Taoist, why are you here?" Li Dashan stepped forward warmly, his heart full of gratitude. "Haha, I'm here to drink your wine!" The old Taoist priest smiled and patted Li Dashan on the shoulder, "By the way, I also have good news for you." "What's the good news?" Li Dashan asked curiously. "Although the rat king was cleaned up by me, there are many treasures in its nest." The old Taoist priest said mysteriously, "I came back on purpose to give you these treasures." "Oh my god, that's good!" Li Dashan was so excited that he spoke incoherently, "Your old man saved our village and gave us so many treasures, how can we repay you?" "What's repaid, it's all fate." The old Taoist priest waved his hand and said, "You come with me, and I will take you to get those treasures." ”
Li Dashan followed the old Taoist priest to a dense forest outside the village. I saw that the old Taoist priest was chanting, and with a wave of dust in his hand, a huge hole appeared in the ground. The entrance of the cave was shining with gold, and it looked like a sky full of stars, and there were too many treasures to count. "Isn't this the rat king's nest?" The old Taoist priest pointed to the entrance of the cave, and his tone was full of mystery, "There are treasures hidden in it that the Rat King has been saving for many years, you go in and pick a few." Li Dashan cautiously looked inside, and the cave was full of treasures, gold, silver, jewelry, jade and jade, as well as those magic weapons and elixirs that could not be named. His eyes were glazed, and his heart was full of excitement and gratitude.
"These treasures are yours." The old Taoist priest shouted loudly outside the entrance of the cave, "But you have to remember that although these treasures are expensive, what is even more precious is your heart that reveres nature." Only those who really know how to cherish and be grateful can keep these treasures. "Mm-hmm, you're always right." Li Dashan nodded like a rattle, "I will definitely have more respect for nature and life in the future, and live up to your old expectations." ”
Since then, Li Dashan has become a legend of Yunyin Village. Not only did he have a treasure in his hands, but he also won the respect of the villagers. And the old Taoist priest who passed by has also become a mysterious legend in the village. When the villagers mentioned this, they all sighed with emotion. They thanked the mysterious Taoist priest for saving the village, sighed at the miracle of nature, and thanked Li Dashan for his good luck and courage. Li Dashan himself has also grown a lot in this experience. He has become more mature and steady, and has learned to cherish and be grateful; Most importantly, he learned to respect nature and revere life.
This story has been passed down from generation to generation in Yunyin Village and has become an eternal legend. It tells us that respect for nature and reverence for life is something that each of us should have. And the real luck and success often come from our persistence and pursuit of these qualities.
