During the Tang Dynasty, there was a quiet small village with a delicate and plump beauty named Yu Niang. Her husband is a brave man who works outside the home all year round and works hard to feed his family. However, fate is unpredictable, and one day, her husband was unfortunately struck by lightning in the field and died.
Yu Niang's pain of bereavement was like a dark cloud hanging over her heart, dimming her originally bright face. The villagers came to condole, but Yu Niang never let go, tossing and turning night and night, and the figure of her husband appeared in her dreams, which made her miserable.
One day, a hideous bully heard the news of Yu Niang's loss of her husband, and had evil thoughts, intending to violate her innocence while she was alone. He viciously came to the door to ask for "compensation", and threatened Yu Niang with words, trying to force Yu Niang to submit.
Although Yu Niang is widowed, she is not weak. She resolutely rejected the bully's shameful demands, preferring to endure the hardships of life rather than give in. However, in the face of intense pressure, she began to feel helpless and hopeless. At this moment, a Taoist priest suddenly appeared in the village. He has gray hair, a fluttering robe, and an extraordinary temperament. The villagers say that he is a mysterious figure who can manipulate the aura and dispel evil spirits. Yu Niang rushed to hear the news and asked the Taoist priest to help solve the dilemma in front of her.
The Taoist priest frowned and thought for a moment, then stared deeply at Yu Niang and said, "This place is a place where yin qi is heavy, and evil is rampant. Your husband's soul is trapped here, and there is a price to pay to help you get out of it. ”
Yu Niang knew that everything was in despair at this time, and she did not hesitate to agree to the Taoist priest's conditions. The Taoist priest immediately laid a runic water beside Yu Niang, chanted a spell, and when the smoke was filled, a gust of wind blew, and Yu Niang felt that her whole body was abnormal.
That night, the bully broke into Yu Niang's house again, with a fierce glint in his eyes. But this time, it seemed that an indescribable force was blocking him, making it impossible for him to get close to Yu Niang. He was stunned, as if he had seen a ghost.
Just as he hesitated, the Taoist priest appeared at the door. He held a magic weapon in his hand, his eyes were deep, and a mysterious aura permeated the surroundings. The bully took a few steps back in horror, but he was arrogant and mocked the sneer: "Who are you to meddle in the affairs between me and this beautiful woman?" The Taoist priest sneered and said, "You made a big mistake and challenged the Mandate of Heaven. The ghosts of this place are no longer something you can touch. Your time of death has come. ”
With that, the Taoist priest waved his hand, and a golden light pierced the night sky and headed straight for the bully. The bully let out a scream, his body trembled, and in an instant, he turned into a pile of ashes. The Taoist priest suppressed his soul and dissipated into the night.
Seeing this, Yu Niang felt a burst of joy in her heart. She knelt on the ground and thanked the Taoist priest again and again: "Thank you Dao Chang for your help and saving me from dire straits." ”
The Taoist priest smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "Fate makes people, I just follow the way of heaven." You need to take care of yourself to avoid falling into such a situation again. ”
Since then, Yu Niang has lived a quiet and happy life, and the Taoist priest has quietly left, and there has been no news again. Yu Niang buried this thrilling experience deep in her heart, often mourning her husband's unjust soul, and lamenting the impermanence of fate. Folktales
