Nine Write Mythological Stories 500 Words

Once upon a time, there was a brother and sister in a village, the brother's name was the sun and the sister's name was the moon. As they were very kind, they often shared the fruits of their labor with the poor, incurring the hatred of the local rich man.

The rich man originally wanted the poor to borrow his money so that he could usurp it, but now the brother and sister have cut off his money. So the rich man tried to find ways to sow discord, like to destroy their relationship, but all were unsuccessful.

One day, the rich man met a man who could talk, called "cheat you to play". The rich man instructed him to go back to the Sun and the Moon to sow discord. "The man was a bad guy, and he agreed to do it. "He came to the house of the two siblings and told them that the Buddha in the Western Heaven had recently made a kind of magic medicine, and that if they drank it, they would be able to ascend to heaven and become immortals. However, this medicine can only be sought by individuals, the Buddha will not give two people. Both siblings want to experience the taste of being an immortal, so they listened to the words of "cheat you play", the next day at dawn on two separate roads to the western sky, about who first asked for the medicine, who will first be an immortal, and then find a way to help the other one.

"Cheat you play" set off early dressed as a wise man waiting in the path of the sun. The sun came in a hurry, "cheat you play" to meet him to scare him that the future is full of difficulties and dangers, advise him not to go. The sun was not the least bit moved by this, and continued to walk westward with determination. "Seeing that the sun did not fall for the trick, the next day he disguised himself as an immortal-looking old grandfather, caught up with the sun and persuaded him not to go to the west. When the sun saw another person persuading him, his steps not only slowed down. But he didn't stop and still walked towards the west. Seeing that the time had come, the "trickster" disguised himself as a grandmother on the third day and persuaded the sun again. Seeing so many experienced old people persuading him, coupled with the fatigue of a few days of departure, the sun actually believed in the "trick you play" nonsense. However, he did not want to give up his chance to ascend to heaven so easily. Seeing what the sun was thinking, the "trickster" took the sun's hand and said, "Don't you want to ascend to heaven? I'll teach you a method that will work!" The sun must have been interested, and asked "Cheat You Play" for advice. "Cheat you play" said mysteriously: "I know you have a sister 'moon'. Isn't she still on her way to the West? Wouldn't it be fine if you waited for her to return and steal the medicine she begged for?" The sun was at first intolerant, but soon convinced himself. He came to the intersection where his sister came back to stay with the "cheat you play", and waited for her to come back to the ascension of the divine medicine.

Many days passed, and the sun finally waited for his sister. At that time it was late at night, the sun took advantage of the moon asleep to steal her ascension medicine. The sun this is the first time to steal something, can not help but some panic, scared of the baggage can not care about that on the woeful escape. After running for a while, the sun could not run anymore, so it picked up the pill and ate it. The sun immediately felt light and rose to the sky, but immediately felt *** hot, the body emitted a thousand golden light. The sun ate the medicine just when the day dawned, so he stepped on the auspicious clouds curiously in the sky to observe the appearance of the ground.

Besides, the moon, she woke up with a start and found that her brother and the ascension of the divine medicine are gone, so she chased after them. When the sun saw this, he felt guilty, but there was no way out, so he instructed the moon to go to the Buddha in the Western sky again to find a way out. The moon had to cry and walk to the Western Heaven again with great difficulty. Her ordeal impressed the Buddha, who lifted her from the ground to the sky and sent her by white clouds to the sun, telling the sun that being hot all over was a punishment for him. The moon, however, is heartbroken for her brother and returns to the Buddha to pray for an antidote to free him from his suffering. Buddha is impressed by Moon and gives her the Ascension Pill and the antidote to the Sun? a golden needle. The Moon immediately took the Pill of Ascension and went to look for the Sun. When the Sun saw the Moon coming from afar with the golden needle, he thought he was going to be stabbed, so he hid behind a big mountain. When the people on the ground saw this, they said, "Look, the sun has set." Since then, the word "sunset" has been used. It was dark when the moon reached the place where the sun had risen. The moon was so eager for the sun that it went after it without any thought. When the Buddha saw this, he took the magic potion of ascension and turned it into water, which turned into a bright little star. The little stars carried lanterns to the moon to give him light. From then on, the sky had the sun, stars and the moon.

In this way, day after day, year after year, the moon and the sun are constantly playing hide and seek. However, the two siblings also have to meet, that is, people say "eclipse", every day, the sun is always with a black cloth blocking the face, do not want to let people see his red face.
