In the Xia Dynasty, there was an emperor named Hou Yi. Houyi has boundless strength, a magnificent body and strong arms. He is good at archery and has a very strong bow, which no one can pull except himself.
Hou Yi had such heroic talent, but it was a pity that his nature was so cruel and tyrannical that people at that time complained everywhere and hated him. Chang 'e, Hou Yi's wife, is of course very beautiful in appearance and very kind in nature. Seeing that her husband treated the people so cruelly, she was very disapproving, and often persuaded him: "Hou Yi's adult, dear husband! You shouldn't be too cruel to the people, you should protect them well; You don't know, people all over the country hate you! "
But Hou Yi didn't listen, and he was still so cruel and tyrannical. After a long time, one of Hou Yi's courtiers got a pill in the Queen Mother's Palace of the West, and presented it to Hou Yi, saying, "This pill is amazing. If you eat for a long time, you will live forever and live a long life in Changchun. " Houyi was overjoyed, so he took Dan medicine and hid it in the inner palace. On the one hand, I sent someone to pick an auspicious day, bathe in fragrant soup, and when ready, I swallowed the elixir devoutly.
When the news reached Chang 'e's ears, Chang 'e frowned and felt very sad. She thought: "Hou Yi has done a lot of bad things, and now the people have eaten up his pain;" If he is given the elixir of life and never dies, won't the people want to live forever and have no happy life? "But I wanted to think, also can't figure out a way to resist. Time passed day by day, and the scheduled date for Houyi to eat elixir approached day by day, and finally arrived. The beautiful and kind Chang 'e is anxious. Just then, a fairy came and said to Chang 'e, "Why don't you eat this elixir yourself? "She felt good, she secretly took the elixir and swallowed it herself.
At that time, Hou Yi was in high spirits and went to the palace to get the elixir of life. To my surprise, there is no trace of the elixir. Knowing that Chang 'e must have stolen it, he hurried to find her. But I've looked everywhere, but I can't find it; When I walked to the front of the court, I looked up and saw the blue sky and bright moon. There was no cloud in Wan Li, and Chang 'e was as light as a leaf, flying to the moon palace. -It turned out that the fairy saved Chang 'e.
From then on, Chang 'e lived in the Moon Palace and never came down, but she was still uneasy about Hou Yi, so now she has to come out for several nights to see if her husband is still doing evil on earth.
