In other words, Li Daring's home is located at the foot of the Yunyin Mountain, in a small village, and people know that he has good craftsmanship and a straightforward personality, but he doesn't drink.
Every night, the people in the village gather around the bonfire, drink and chat, and Li Daring is busy on the side, either sharpening knives or preparing the pigweed for the next day, as if it has nothing to do with the world.
But on such a peaceful day, something strange happened.
One day, Aunt Wang passed by Li's house, and suddenly there was a smell of wine in her nose, and the fragrance could be smelled from afar.
Second Aunt Wang muttered in her heart, isn't this Li Daring not drinking, why does it smell so fragrant at home?
She originally wanted to knock on the door and ask, but she felt embarrassed, so she secretly told Li Daring's daughter-in-law, Zhang.
When Zhang heard this, he was also confused, when did his man start drinking?
Although she had doubts in her heart, she trusted her husband more often.
When Li Daring came back in the evening, Zhang asked tentatively.
Li Daring listened, was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "This matter has to start from the beginning, you listen to me and tell you slowly." It turned out that this wine aroma was not an ordinary wine, but a secret passed down by Li Dadazu.
His ancestor was a Taoist master who did not care about the world, and because of a coincidence, he got a magical jade pendant that could gather the aura of heaven and earth and turn water into wine.
This jade pendant can not only turn clear water into good wine, but also have the miraculous effect of driving away evil spirits and prolonging life.
But this treasure can't be shown to others casually, let alone used indiscriminately, otherwise it will be punished by God.
Therefore, the Li family has been passed down from generation to generation, only in the dead of night, with a small amount of water to worship the jade pendant, the next day can get a few jars of wine, used to worship the ancestors, pray for the safety of the house.
Li Daring has known about this since he was a child, but for the sake of the family's peace, he has never told outsiders.
He seems to drink a lot of wine every day, but in fact, he just pours clean water into a special container and puts it under the jade pendant to let it transform naturally.
He never drank this wine himself, but it was used for sacrifice and worship to show his filial piety and reverence.
When Zhang heard this, he suddenly realized, he was both surprised and happy in his heart, and he had a little more respect for Li Daring.
But she also knows that this matter is related to the rise and fall of the family, and it must be kept secret.
But the good times didn't last long, and the secret was still leaked.
One day, there was a lame man in the village who was greedy for money and good wine, drunk and stumbled into the backyard of the Li family by mistake, and accidentally saw the jade pendant that exuded a faint light, as well as the wine that was being transformed.
When Liu lame saw this treasure, his eyes were straight, and when Li Daring was not at home, he sneaked in and wanted to steal the jade pendant.
But this jade pendant is a spiritual thing, and it can't be touched by people who are not destined.
As soon as Liu lame touched it, he felt a cold breath rushing to his heart, and then the sky spun around, and he was bounced out by an invisible force, his nose and face were swollen, and most of the wine was awake.
Oh, this thing is spread in our village, everyone is talking about it like the New Year, some are surprised, they think that the jade pendant is really a god, and some are worried that this baby will attract something unexpected.
Li Daring was like a mirror in his heart, knowing that he couldn't cover this secret, so he pondered that he had to hold a whole village meeting to have a showdown with everyone about the jade pendant, and also set the rules: This jade pendant is the treasure of our Li family, and it must be guarded well, not private, let alone passed on; Every year on the day of the spring equinox, the whole village has to gather together and worship it with water, hoping that God will give us smooth wind and rain, peace and security.
Since then, the small village at the foot of our Yunyin Mountain has a special custom, as soon as the spring equinox arrives, the villagers will gather at Li Butcher's house to watch the magical scene - clear water turns into wine, and the aroma is fragrant.
Li Daring has also changed from an inconspicuous butcher to the patron saint of everyone's hearts, and his story is like a wine spring that never dries up, nourishing every heart in this land.
Speaking of which, do you also feel that the wonders of this world are often hidden in inconspicuous places around you?
What seems like an ordinary life is actually hidden with countless mysteries and possibilities.
Let's talk again next time, see you later!
Okay, let's talk about the last time, Li Daring's incident spread in the village, everyone was curious and in awe of the jade pendant, and the annual spring equinox sacrifice became the most important thing in the village.
But then again, people, there are always a few people who don't have long eyes and want to make some benefits.
Zhao Ergou in the east of our village, when he heard that the jade pendant can turn into wine and ward off evil spirits, his heart is like a cat scratching, and he is itching.
He planned to sneak out the jade pendant and enjoy it himself.
Zhao Ergou is usually idle, and he does a good job of stealing chickens and touching dogs, but this time, he can be regarded as kicking the iron plate.
On a dark and windy night, Zhao Ergou secretly came to the backyard of Li Daring's house while everyone was asleep.
He looked around to see that no one was paying attention, so he tiptoed close to the small room where the jade pendant was enshrined.
The excitement in my heart is like marrying a new daughter-in-law.
But just as he reached out to touch the jade pendant, suddenly a gust of wind blew in the yard, so cold that it could penetrate into the bones, Zhao Ergou was shocked, and his hands froze in the air.
"Who?
Who's there? Li Daring's voice suddenly sounded, so frightened that Zhao Ergou almost peed his pants.
He turned his head suddenly, only to see Li boldly holding a lantern, standing not far away with a serious face, his eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. "I ...... I...... I'm just passing by, passing by! Zhao Ergou stammered, turned around and wanted to run, but his legs trembled and he couldn't take a step.
Li Daring walked over slowly, sighed, and said, "Ergou, Ergou, why don't you have a long memory?"
This jade pendant is the blessing root of our village, and it is also the root of the bane, if you move it, our village will suffer. When Zhao Ergou heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowing again and again: "Brother Daring, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore!" Li boldly helped him up and said earnestly: "Ergou, in this life, you always have to be a little awe-inspiring. "Take a look at our tunzi, thanks to that jade pendant, our place is smooth every year, and everyone can live comfortably.
If you want to think about anything, you have to roll up your sleeves and work hard, don't always think about pie in the sky. When Zhao Ergou heard this, he grabbed his tears and snot, and nodded like pounding garlic.
Since then, he has changed as a person, no longer doing those things of stealing chickens and dogs, and learning the craft from the old carpenter in the village, and his life has become more and more hopeful.
In the blink of an eye, it was the spring equinox again, and the villagers, as usual, gathered at Li Daring's house to prepare for the sacrifice.
This year's atmosphere is very different, because everyone knows that Zhao Ergou's transformation has made our little tunzi more harmonious.
The sacrifice began, and Li Daring held the water in his hand and slowly poured it into the special container.
As soon as the water is poured in, a smell of wine wafts out, and the fragrance can wash away the ashes in people's hearts, which makes people feel refreshed.
The villagers closed their eyes and silently thought in their hearts, hoping that the coming year would be smooth and the harvest would be abundant.
At this moment, the heavens suddenly changed.
The original dark night sky was pierced by colorful lights, and those rays of light swirled around in the air, and finally turned into beautiful patterns.
The villagers all looked up and were very surprised, as if they saw the gods descending to earth and sending blessings to us. "Look, that's a dragon!" A child pointed to the sky and shouted. "And the phoenix, the phoenix is also here!" Another child also screamed excitedly.
Li boldly looked at the sky, tears shining in his eyes.
He knew that this was the manifestation of the jade pendant, and it was bless our little tunzi and everyone here.
He bowed deeply, thanking Yu Pei and everyone for their trust and support.
After the sacrifice, the villagers gathered around, eating delicious food and chatting about the future.
Li boldly looked at this scene, and his heart was full of joy.
He knew that although this secret had caused him a lot of trouble, it had also made him the patron saint of everyone's hearts, which made him feel very proud and proud.
Zhao Ergou listened quietly to everyone's laughter on the side, and was very grateful.
He knew that if it weren't for Li Daring's teachings and Yu Pei's protection, he might still be going further and further down that wrong road.
Now, he has a new goal, which is to use his own hands to contribute to this small tunzi.
Late at night, the villagers went home one by one, and Li Daring and his daughter-in-law Zhang were also preparing to close the door and go to bed.
Before closing the door, Li boldly glanced back at the jade pendant on the altar, and silently said in his heart: "Thank you, jade pendant."
May our little tunzi always be safe and happy. "As soon as the door closed, everything was quiet again.
But in this silence, there is infinite hope and strength.
In our land, there are really a bunch of people who are hardworking, kind, and brave.
With their own hands and a little bit of cleverness, they made up one legendary story after another for themselves.
The secret of that jade pendant has also become a treasure in their hearts, and it is like faith, and it must be guarded well.
It was late at night, the moon hung high in the sky, and the silver light sprinkled all over the small village under Yunyin Mountain.
Li Daring and Zhang blew out the candles in the house and lay on the kang, but they couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.
The two of them were in turmoil in their hearts, both in awe of the secret of the jade pendant, but also full of hope for the future days.
Zhang asked softly: "Bold, do you think this jade pendant can really bring good luck to our village?" There was a little uncertainty in his voice.
Li Daring turned over, held his daughter-in-law's hand, and comforted, "Don't worry, daughter-in-law."
This jade pendant is a treasure handed down by our Li family ancestors, for so many years, it has been protecting our village, so that we can be safe and sound.
I believe that as long as we have goodness in our hearts, it will definitely continue to bless us. When Zhang heard this, his heart was a little more steady, but when he thought of Zhao Ergou's matter, he sighed again: "Ergou, this child, can be regarded as lost."
I hope he can remember this lesson and be a good man in the future. When Li Daring heard this, he was also full of emotion: "Yes, who is not wrong?"
Ergou can reform himself, which is also his blessing.
As neighbors, we can help if we can, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good. The two chatted for a while, and then slowly fell asleep.
In their dreams, they seemed to see Yu Pei turn into a spirit dragon, flying around in the clouds, guarding every life in this land.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Li Daring's buddy stood up again.
He proposed to use the divine power of our village's heirloom, the jade pendant, to drive those beasts away and keep our village safe.
At the beginning, some villagers muttered in their hearts, although the jade pendant is a god, can it be done against these ferocious beasts?
But Li was bold and full of confidence, he led everyone to the worship platform, invited the jade pendant out, and made sacrifices and prayers according to the method passed down by the ancestors.
As soon as the sacrificial ceremony began, the jade pendant lit up, and the light became brighter and brighter, and finally became a pillar of light that soared into the sky.
At this moment, there was a sudden earth-shattering dragon roar from the sky, and then a majestic spirit dragon rushed out of the clouds and circled around our village.
The spirit dragon's eyes were as bright as torches, and the momentum was violent, and when it roared, it shook people's hearts and livers.
When the beasts heard this roar, they were so frightened that they no longer dared to take half a step closer to our village.
When the villagers saw this posture, they were as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year, and knew that it was Yu Pei and Linglong who saved us.
With tears in their eyes, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Jade Pei and Linglong.
Li boldly stood aside, looking at the spirit dragon in the sky, his heart was full of admiration and gratitude.
As soon as the snowstorm passed, our village returned to its former peace and prosperity.
The villagers cherish each other's affection even more, as well as every inch of the land.
The story of the jade pendant and the spirit dragon has also become an heirloom in our village, inspiring future generations to unite and help each other and face difficulties bravely.
