In a remote mountain village, there is an ancient legend. It is said that in one of the village's ancient towers, there is a cursed treasure. This treasure possesses mystical powers and is able to grant the wishes of its holders, but it can also bring endless disasters.
One day, a greedy merchant heard about the legend and decided to go in search of the treasure. He came to the mountain village and found the location of the ancient tower. He walked into the ancient tower and found an ancient chest. The moment he opened the box, a black gas wafted out of the box and permeated the entire ancient tower.
The merchant was terrified, but he decided to take the treasure home with him. As he walked out of the ancient tower, he saw a gruesome sight. The entire mountain village was shrouded in black air, and the villagers became hideous one by one, as if they were cursed.
The merchant fled the mountain village in panic, but the curse of the treasure followed him. He felt that his life was becoming more and more chaotic, and the people around him were leaving him one by one.
Eventually, the merchant could not bear the curse and decided to put the treasure back into the ancient tower. When he walked into the ancient tower, he saw an even more eerie sight. The entire ancient tower was shrouded in black air, as if it had become a ghost tower.
The merchant put the treasure back in the chest and fled the ancient tower. From then on, in the dead of night, people would hear strange noises coming from the ancient tower, as if the traces of a curse were still quietly waving.
This folk horror tale teaches us that greed and lust often lead to endless disasters. We should cherish our lives and not be driven by greed and desire, otherwise we will only end up reaping the consequences.
