Today's protagonist is a traveler from afar, surnamed Li Mingyifeng, a scholar, but he has chivalry in his heart.
He traveled north and south and happened to encounter this strange thing.
At dusk that day, Li Yifeng stepped on the afterglow of the sunset and walked into Yunyin Village.
The village is full of smoke, chickens and dogs barking, and it is quiet and peaceful.
He wanted to find someone to spend the night, but when he turned the corner, he saw a dilapidated old house lying alone, out of step with the surrounding scenery.
The roof of the old house was sparsely thatched, as if it had to fly when the wind blew.
Just as Li Yifeng was hesitating to step forward and knock on the door, he suddenly heard a low cough from the house.
Immediately afterwards, a gray-haired old man, on crutches, walked out of the threshold tremblingly, his eyes full of traces of time.
When the old man saw Li Yifeng, he was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "Young man, it's not early, do you want to find a place to live?" Li Yifeng hurriedly handed over his hand and explained his intention.
The old man pondered for a while and said, "Although my house is dilapidated, it can still shelter from the wind and rain.
If you don't dislike it, stay here for the night.
However, the roof has been in disrepair for a long time, and there has been a lot of rain recently, so I am afraid that it will be dangerous.
If you'd like to, you'll help me fix it tomorrow?" When Li Yifeng heard this, he thought that this matter was simple, so he agreed.
The old man was grateful, took him into the house, boiled water and cooked, and the two chatted while eating.
The old man talked about the past of Yunyin Village and the relics of Taoist masters, and Li Yifeng was fascinated by it.
Late at night, Li Yifeng lay on the simple bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and he was so curious about the identity of the old man.
The moonlight shone through the dilapidated window, shining on his face, which looked even more mysterious.
I don't know how long it took for him to finally fall asleep.
Early the next morning, the sun shone through the clouds and into the house, Li Yifeng woke up, rubbed his eyes, and was about to get up, when he was suddenly stunned - the scene in front of him stunned him.
The dilapidated old house was transformed overnight, the roof was replaced with sturdy green tiles, the walls were whitewashed, and even the lintels were carved with exquisite patterns, revealing an extraordinary atmosphere.
The old man was gone, leaving only a note that read: "Thank you Gongzi for your help, this room is the place where my master practiced back then, and now I give it to someone who is destined."
I hope that Childe will cherish it and make good use of it. Li Yifeng held the note, and his heart was mixed.
He glanced around, and a wave of indescribable regret suddenly appeared in his heart - yesterday he just casually agreed, which Cheng thought that this old guy actually had two brushes, and everything had changed after a night's work.
What makes him even more puzzling is what is the origin of this old guy, why is he so generous and gave him such a precious house for nothing?
Just when Li Yifeng's mind was in a mess, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.
As soon as he opened the door, good fellow, several villagers hurried over, and the expression on their faces was as nervous as if something.
It turned out that there was a big flood in the village last night, and many houses were damaged, but the old house where Li Yifeng lived was not only fine, but also much stronger than before.
The villagers guessed there one by one, this must be blessed by the gods, and Li Yifeng became the "lucky star" in their eyes.
Facing the enthusiasm and gratitude of the villagers, Li Yifeng's heart was even more chaotic.
He felt as if he had inadvertently been involved in something big that he had never thought about.
He began to wonder, that old guy was really just an ordinary villager?
Or is it like he himself said, what is the connection with those Taoist masters?
Just as Li Yifeng was about to investigate this matter, a mysterious guest appeared quietly.
This old village chief, who claims to be Yunyin Village, is a lot older, but he is quite mental.
He took Li Yifeng to a dense forest at the back of the village, where there was an old Taoist temple, which was the "ruins of the master's gate" mentioned by the old guy.
The old village chief slowly told the truth: It turned out that the old guy was not an ordinary person, he was reincarnated by a Taoist master, because he owed something in his previous life, and he came to Yunyin Village to repay his debts in this life.
He picked Li Yifeng, not only because Li Yifeng had a good heart, but also because Li Yifeng had blood related to Taoism.
That old house is actually a key to unlocking the secrets of the Taoist temple, and only people with good hearts can see the mysteries inside.
When Li Yifeng heard this, his heart suddenly brightened, it turned out that all this was doomed.
He looked at the solemn Taoist temple in front of him, and his heart was warm.
He understood that this was not only a simple residence and cultivation, but also a destined inheritance and awakening.
"Old village chief, what should I do?" Li Yifeng's voice was firm and a little confused.
The old village chief smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with wisdom: "Child, you don't have to do something deliberately.
Your heart has shown you the way.
Remember, true strength comes from the kindness and perseverance of the heart.
What is hidden in this Taoist view is not only the profound Taoism, but also a kind of awe and understanding of all things in this world. ”
After speaking, the old village chief gently pushed the door of the Taoist temple, and a simple and solemn atmosphere came to his face.
Li Yifeng crossed the threshold, only to see the statue of the Sanqing patriarch in the hall, and the cigarette smoke was swirling, as if it could wash away the dust in people's hearts.
He slowly knelt down and kowtowed three times reverently, silently reciting hope for the future and gratitude for the past.
At this moment, a strange light shot out from behind the statue of the patriarch and shone directly on Li Yifeng's body.
Oh, this buddy, when he woke up, he felt warm all over his body, just like that, a lot of information was swishing into his head, full of some unfathomable Taoist essences, the big secrets between heaven and earth, and how to look at everything in this world with a calm heart. "This.
.
.
What's going on? Li Yifeng looked up in surprise and saw that the old village chief was looking at him happily, his eyes were full of relief. Young man, you have won the appreciation of your grandfather.
From now on, you are our Yunyin Village, and a member of this realm, carrying the burden of inheritance and protection on your shoulders. The old village chief's voice was so low that it could penetrate people's hearts.
Li Yifeng stood up with a bone, feeling the new strength in his body, and the sense of mission in his heart was unprecedentedly strong.
He understood that he was no longer a simple passer-by, but a successor who had inherited the wisdom and responsibility of Taoism.
After that, Li Yifeng, under the guidance of the old village chief, began to learn Taoism and cultivate his mind.
Every morning, he went to the forest behind the village to meditate and absorb the essence of heaven and earth; In the evening, I flipped through the ancient books in the Taoist temple and pondered the true meaning of Taoism.
After a long time, his cultivation has risen gradually, not only his body is great, but his mind is also very peaceful, and he can help the villagers solve all kinds of troubles and difficulties.
But this peaceful day did not last long.
One day, Yunyin Village suddenly suffered a catastrophe - a plague came and tossed the entire village upside down.
One by one, the villagers fell ill and wailed, and the whole village fell into despair. "Don't be afraid, I have a trick here!" Li Yifeng stood under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village and shouted loudly.
His voice, firm and powerful, seemed to dispel fear in people's hearts.
The villagers took the decoction in his hand in disbelief, and as soon as they drank it, their condition really improved.
As soon as the news spread, more and more villagers were treated, and Yunyin Village slowly regained its former vitality.
After this incident, Li Yifeng's image in the hearts of the villagers is called a high.
He is not only a Taoist priest, but also a hero, a leader who can lead everyone out of trouble and meet hope.
But for Li Yifeng, this is just the beginning.
He knew that there was still a long way to go, and there were still more responsibilities and missions waiting for him to complete.
So, he continued to stay in Yunyin Village, guarding this land and the people here with his own strength.
Time flies, decades pass in the blink of an eye.
Li Yifeng has changed from a young traveler to a respected old Taoist priest.
His story has been told not only in Yunyin Village, but also beyond, inspiring countless people to pursue inner peace and kindness.
And he always remembers the promise and awakening of that night.
Every time in the dead of night, he would stand in front of the Taoist temple, look up at the starry sky, and silently recite the ancient vow in his heart: "Take the Tao as your heart, and take kindness as your deed." "We have to protect this land until we can't come up with this breath."
Li Yifeng, this buddy, used his life to show us what it means to be a real Taoist heir, a hero, and a responsibility.
Yunyin Village, with him, there is more beauty and harmony.
After a long time, the spring, summer, autumn and winter of Yunyin Village are like the folds on the face of our old village chief, layer by layer, all of which are the marks of the years.
Li Yifeng, a foreign Taoist priest, has long been an indispensable treasure in our village, and his story is like hot wine in winter, warm people, and make people have endless aftertaste.
With the increase of years, Li Yifeng feels more and more that the real Tao is not only those unfathomable spells and mysterious philosophies, but also the bits and pieces of our daily life, the deep love for our land, and the selfless care for the villagers.
He began to be more involved in the big and small affairs of the village, whether it was spring planting and autumn harvest, or red and white ceremonies, he could always be seen busy.
One winter, it was so cold that the snow covered the mountain, and even the hardest hunters in our village did not dare to go out easily.
The food in the village is about to bottom, Li Yifeng sees it in his eyes, and he is anxious, he knows that if he can't find food, our village will have to face the test of life and death.
So, he slapped his thigh and decided to go up the mountain himself to find the legendary "Snow Lingzhi".
This snow lingzhi is said to be a rare treasure for thousands of years, which can resist cold, nourish the body, and is a life-saving miracle medicine.
But this thing also grows in the most dangerous places, and how many people have lost their lives for it.
"Lao Li, what are you doing here?
Is it possible for us to touch Snow Lingzhi? The old people in the village persuaded him, but Li Yifeng just smiled, put on his bag, and set out on the road.
In the snow, every step is difficult to walk, and the wind cuts people like a knife.
But Li Yifeng had a lot of energy in his heart, he thought about the old people and children in the village, and thought about that responsibility, and his steps became more and more stable.
I don't know how long it took, but when he finally stood in front of the shining snow lingzhi, he felt that his whole person was surrounded by warmth.
But just as he was about to pick it, an unexpected figure appeared—it was the Taoist patriarch he had seen in his dream many years ago, virtual and real.
Master Zu didn't say anything, just waved his hand, and the snow lingzhi was in Li Yifeng's hands, and he also passed on an ancient spell to him.
"This thing is not ordinary, you have to be careful when you use it.
You have great love in your heart, so you have this opportunity.
But remember, true strength comes from inner peace and selflessness. Master Zu's voice circled around his ears a few times, and then turned into a wisp of smoke and scattered in the wind and snow.
Li Yifeng took Xue Lingzhi back to the village and used it to save many people's lives.
But what he values more is the sentence left to him by his grandfather.
Since that time, Li Yifeng, this buddy, has been teaching the people in the village how to maintain their health, how to survive in such a broken place, and more importantly, how to maintain a good heart.
In a flash, Li Yifeng also changed from that sturdy man to a white-haired old man.
His apprentices are everywhere, and some of them have taken over his class and continue to guard Yunyin Village; Some went out of the mountains and scattered the wisdom of Taoism everywhere.
Li Yifeng himself chose here, the place he loved, quietly guarded until his last breath.
Before leaving, the villagers surrounded him one by one, tears in their eyes.
Li Yifeng used up his last bit of strength and said to everyone: "Remember, no matter where you go, don't forget your roots, don't forget your love for your hometown and relatives."
Taoism pays attention to going with the flow, but pays more attention to the cultivation of the heart.
Only with great love in the heart can we build the avenue. As soon as the words fell, Li Yifeng closed his eyes with a satisfied smile on his face.
At that moment, Yunyin Village seemed to be quiet, and even the wind was not blowing.
Since then, as long as Li Yifeng is mentioned, the people in the village will show that kind of admiration and nostalgia.
His story, like a stove in winter, warms everyone's heart; His spirit is like a pine tree on a mountain, hard and never falls.
Yunyin Village has also become more mysterious and beautiful because of such a legendary Taoist priest.
