When night falls, the silent village is shrouded in darkness, it is an ordinary and peaceful village, however, there is a legend on the edge of the village that makes people afraid of being distracted at night. This legend tells of an ancient and mysterious ghost who is known as the "Phantom".
On the edge of this village, there is a forest that is avoided by people, and the trees are so dense that there is no end in sight. It is said that this forest is the territory of the ghost, and only at night does it reveal itself and wander among the trees. The elders of the village tell legends about the shadows, which have been passed down for hundreds of years and become part of the village.
One day, a young man in the village, named Li Xiaowen, decides to challenge the legendary Shadow. He had heard a lot of legends about the Shadows, but he was curious about them all. So, on a gloomy night, Li Xiaowen embarked on a journey into the woods. Li Xiaowen walked through the dense bushes and felt that the atmosphere around him became more and more strange. The leaves rustled in the wind, as if countless pairs of invisible eyes were watching him. His heart raced, but he told himself it was just an adventure, and that the Shadow was just a legend in a village.
However, as he delved deeper into the woods, he began to feel a strange chill. His footsteps became distinctly clear, as if something was following him. From time to time, the sound of trees rubbing against each other made him nervous. At this moment, Li Xiaowen saw a faint light flickering in front of him. His heart moved, and he quickened his pace, wanting to do it. The source of the light is an old and dilapidated temple that looks to have been abandoned for years. Li Xiaowen felt an inexplicable fear in his heart, but he still walked in resolutely.
The interior of the temple was dim and damp, and there was an old smell in the air. Li Xiaowen felt an indescribable sense of depression, as if countless eyes were quietly watching him. He walked to the depths of the temple and suddenly felt a yin wind blowing, and among the swaying lights, he saw a shadow-like figure.
It was a figure dressed in an ancient robe, his face blurred. Li Xiaowen felt a chill coming, and his voice seemed to be swallowed: "You are ......."Phantom?”
The shadow didn't speak, just quietly watched Li Xiaowen. He felt an ancient and mysterious aura emanating from the shadow, as if it carried endless years. Xiao Ming tried to maintain his composure and asked, "Why are you here?"Who the hell are you?The voice of the shadow resounded in the temple like an ancient echo: "I am the guardian of this land, I am the embodiment of the soul of the dead." For hundreds of years, I have watched this forest rise and fall. ”
Li Xiaowen couldn't help but be in awe after hearing this, and he realized that this ghost was not a legendary ghost, but a guardian. "I used to be an ordinary villager, but a tragedy changed my fate. After my death, I was given a new mission by the god of fate to protect this land. ”
As the story unfolds, Li Xiaowen hears an amazing secret. The Shadow tells him that this forest carries the soul of the village, and that he exists to protect the land from the invasion of ** forces. The soul of every villager who is close to death will merge into this forest and become a part of it.
Li Xiaowen felt an inexplicable sadness, and at the same time understood the protective meaning of the shadow. He decided to bring the story back to the village so that people could understand the true mission of the Shadow and the mysterious power of the woods. Since then, the villagers' attitude towards the forest has changed. They begin to understand the existence of the Shadow and respect the land he guards. Night is no longer a symbol of fear, but a time for the villagers to feel tranquility and mystery.
This story became a new legend in the village, and the people sang the praises of the guardianship of the shadows. Li Xiaowen also grew up because of this experience, and he said goodbye to the fear of the unknown, but learned respect and understanding. This ancient village is all the more mysterious and tranquil because of the presence of a guardian.
