The Nun's Secret
In an ancient and quiet village, the sky suddenly darkened, with dark clouds and thunder. The men and women of the village are busy packing their things and preparing to go home to escape the impending rainstorm. Under an old locust tree at the entrance of the village, a young man named Li Hao missed the opportunity to return to the village because of the long distance, and was anxiously looking for a place to shelter from the rain.
Li Hao looked around, and suddenly found that there was a dilapidated temple not far away, although it was in disrepair, but it seemed to be able to shelter from the wind and rain. He was overjoyed and hurried to the temple. When he ran into the temple, he found it empty, except for a broken statue of the god standing quietly.
Just as Li Hao was about to find a dry place to sit down, there was a rush of footsteps outside the temple. He turned his head to look and saw a nun hurrying into the temple. The nun was dressed in gray monk's robes and hats, and her face could not be seen clearly. Her steps were light, as if she was drifting, and her feet did not touch the ground when she walked, which made Li Hao feel very surprised.
After the nun walked into the temple, she didn't seem to notice Li Hao's presence, she walked straight to the statue, folded her hands, and prayed sincerely. Li Hao looked at this nun curiously, and couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart: Why did this nun walk so strangely? Does she really possess some mysterious powers?
At this moment, the rain outside suddenly increased, and the wind howled, and thunder and lightning increased. The temple also began to leak, and Li Hao had to look around for a place to shelter from the rain. The nun continued her prayers as if she had stayed out of the way.
Li Hao looked at the nun's pious appearance, and couldn't help but feel a sense of respect in his heart. He quietly approached the nun and asked softly, "May I ask this teacher, why are you praying here?" ”
The nun raised her head and glanced at Li Hao, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She smiled and said, "The poor nun is here to seek the guidance of the gods. ”
Li Hao was even more curious in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask: "Mrs. Shi, you don't touch the ground when you walk, what kind of magical power is this?" ”
When the nun heard this, she smiled slightly and said, "The poor nun doesn't have supernatural powers, but has just practiced a special footwork. This footwork allows me to walk on flat ground, regardless of terrain and weather. ”
When Li Hao heard this, he was shocked in his heart. He didn't expect this nun to be so powerful, not only did she have such magical footwork, but she could also stay calm in the wind and rain. He couldn't help but develop a deep respect for the nun.
At this moment, the rain leakage in the temple became more and more serious, and Li Hao had to find a new place to shelter from the rain again. The nun didn't seem to care, and she prayed quietly.
Li Hao was a little anxious in his heart, he didn't know what to do. At this moment, he suddenly remembered a Taoist artifact he was carrying—a jade pendant. This jade pendant was handed down by his ancestors and is said to have magical powers. His heart moved, and he decided to see if this jade pendant could help him.
Li Hao took out the jade pendant from his arms and held it high. Suddenly, a faint light emanated from the jade pendant, enveloping the entire temple in it. The rain seemed to be blocked by this light, and could no longer drip down. And the nun also seemed to feel the existence of this power, she raised her head to look at the jade pendant in Li Hao's hand, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Seeing this, Li Hao was overjoyed. He knew he had found a solution to his problem. He walked up to the nun, handed her the jade pendant and said, "Master, please accept this jade pendant, it may be able to help you." ”
The nun took the jade pendant, looked at it carefully, then looked at Li Hao deeply and said, "Young man, you are really not a mortal, this jade pendant is a Taoist treasure, and it is not something that ordinary people can have. Poor Ni sees that your bones are clear, and you will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future. ”
Li Hao was even more surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect this nun to be able to see that she was carrying Taoist magic weapons, and he didn't expect her to make such a high evaluation of herself. He was grateful in his heart and said to the nun: "The teacher is too rewarded, and the junior just got this jade pendant by chance." ”
The nun smiled and said, "Coincidence is also fate. It is also fate that the poor nun met you today. Come with me, I have something to tell you. ”
With that, the nun stood up and walked out of the temple with Li Hao. When the two came to the outside of the temple, they saw that it had rained outside, and the sky was sunny and sunny. The nun pointed to a mountain peak in the distance and said, "There is a Taoist temple on top of that mountain, which is a sacred place for Taoism. If you have the heart to cultivate, you can go there and seek a higher and deeper path. ”
Li Hao's heart moved when he heard this, he had already developed a strong interest in Taoist culture, but he had never had the opportunity to understand it deeply. Now when he heard the nun say this, he suddenly yearned for it and decided to go to that Taoist temple to find out.
Seeing that Li Hao had made up her mind, the nun didn't say anything more, just took out an ancient book from her bosom and handed it to Li Hao, saying: "This book is the heart of the poor nun who has gained from many years of practice, and you can take it and study it carefully, maybe it can help you." ”
Li Hao took the ancient book, and he was grateful, he knew that he had met a real nobleman. He bowed deeply to the nun and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Shi's guidance, and the younger generation will definitely remember it." ”
Li Hao watched the nun go away, and his heart was full of expectations for the future. He held the ancient book in his hand tightly, as if he held the key to a higher realm. He knew that this mysterious nun not only saved him from danger, but also guided him to a path of spiritual practice.
Li Hao returned to the village, arranged his family affairs a little, and then embarked on the road to the Taoist temple. He crossed the mountains and mountains, and after many hardships, he finally came to the legendary Taoist holy land. In the Taoist temple, he met many like-minded practitioners, who discussed the Tao together and learned from each other, and Li Hao's cultivation also steadily improved in his daily practice.
However, Li Hao could never forget the mysterious nun in his heart. He often thought of the nun's light-as-the-wind steps, and the ancient book she had given him. He began to wonder, who was that nun? Why does she have such amazing footwork? What kind of secrets are hidden in that ancient book?
During a conversation with the elders in the Taoist temple, Li Hao mentioned the nun and the ancient book. After hearing this, a hint of strange color flashed in the elder's eyes, and after pondering for a moment, he said to Li Hao: "The nun you are talking about may be the legendary 'Drifting Cloud Fairy'. She is a Taoist master who has cultivated extremely highly, walking between the world, and taking it as her responsibility to transform sentient beings. As for that ancient book, it is her experience of years of practice, and it contains a profound Taoist truth. ”
When Li Hao heard this, he was shocked in his heart. He didn't expect that he would be lucky enough to meet the legendary "Drifting Cloud Fairy", let alone that she would be so generous in teaching her cultivation experience to him. He felt a great honor and responsibility.
During the years of Taoism, Li Hao cultivated harder, and he continued to study that ancient book, from which he comprehended many profound Taoist methods. His cultivation progressed day by day, and he soon became a leader in the Taoist temple.
However, Li Hao was not complacent because of this. He is well aware that the path of cultivation is long and arduous, and requires constant effort and perseverance. He shared his insights and experiences with fellow practitioners in the Taoist temple, hoping to jointly improve the level of Taoist practice.
Many years later, Li Hao finally achieved positive results and became a true Taoist master. He walked among the worlds, taking it as his responsibility to transform sentient beings, and imparting his spiritual experience to those who were destined for it. He always remembered the kindness of the mysterious nun, the "Fairy of the Floating Clouds", and took her teachings and teachings as the motto of his practice.
By chance, Li Hao met the nun again. At this time, the nun was gray-haired, but her eyes were still clear and deep. She looked at Li Hao and said with a smile: "You really lived up to my expectations, and you have achieved positive results." ”
When Li Hao heard this, his heart was excited. He bowed deeply to the nun and said, "The grace of the master will never be forgotten by the younger generation." It was you who guided me on the path of cultivation, and it was you who taught me the profound teachings. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. ”
The nun smiled and waved her hand and said, "Everything is fate. The fact that you are able to attain positive results is also the result of your own efforts. Now that you have reached a new level, I hope you can continue to work hard for the benefit of the common people in the world. ”
With the encouragement and blessing of the nun, Li Hao continued his path of cultivation, and his reputation gradually spread in the rivers and lakes, becoming the object of admiration of many practitioners. However, he was not satisfied with this, but more humbly explored the mysteries of the Dao.
During a practice deep into the mountains and forests, Li Hao stumbled upon a hidden secret realm. Here the clouds and mist, the birds sing and the flowers are fragrant, as if it is a fairyland on earth. In the deepest part of the secret realm, he found an ancient book with the four big characters "Drifting Cloud Secret Classic" written on the cover. He opened the page of the book, only to see that it was the cultivation experience and the essence of Taoism of the nun, the "Floating Cloud Fairy".
Li Hao was excited, he knew that this secret book meant a lot to him. He spent several years studying this secret book, and learned many ways that he had never been exposed to before. His cultivation has once again made a qualitative leap and reached a new height.
In the process of practicing, Li Hao gradually discovered the true identity of the "Drifting Cloud Fairy". It turned out that the "Drifting Cloud Fairy" was not an ordinary nun, but a legendary figure of Taoism. She has gone through countless trials and tribulations, and finally cultivated a profound Taoism and became a generation of Taoist masters. She walks among the worlds, taking it as her mission to transform all living beings, and guarding the peace and tranquility of the world with her wisdom and strength.
After learning the true identity of the "Drifting Cloud Fairy", Li Hao admired and appreciated her even more. He is determined to inherit the legacy of the "Drifting Cloud Fairy" and continue to benefit the common people in the world. He compiled his spiritual experience and insights into a book and passed it on to more practitioners, hoping that they would benefit from it.
As time passed, Li Hao's reputation became louder and louder, and his Dao cultivation reached unprecedented heights. Not only did he enjoy a great reputation in the Taoist world, but he was also respected and invited by secular royalty. However, he always maintained a humble and low-key attitude, never forgetting his original intention, and continued to practice and teach the Tao.
By chance, Li Hao met the nun who had guided him on the path of cultivation - "Fairy Floating Clouds". At this time, the "Drifting Cloud Fairy" had turned into a wisp of green smoke and drifted away. What she left for Li Hao was only an esoteric Zen saying: "The Tao is natural, and the practice is in the heart." ”
Li Hao understood that the "Drifting Cloud Fairy" had cultivated to a higher realm and left this earthly world. Her teachings and legacy will forever be etched in my heart and guide me forward. He bowed deeply to the wisp of green smoke and expressed his endless gratitude and respect for the "Drifting Cloud Fairy".
Li Hao went further and further on the path of practicing and teaching Taoism, and his reputation was not limited to the Taoist world, but spread all over the world. His wisdom and compassion have won the admiration and love of countless people.
However, as his fame grew, Li Hao also faced unprecedented challenges. All kinds of grievances and secular disputes began to pour into him, and some people even secretly set traps in order to compete for his Dao secrets. But Li Hao has always maintained a calm heart, he knows that these disputes and temptations are tests on the path of cultivation, and only by sticking to his heart can he get through the difficulties.
After resolving a major dispute, Li Hao felt that his strength was not strong enough to deal with all the suffering in the world. So, he decided to retreat and practice to further his understanding of the essence of the Tao. He found a hidden cave and began a long period of retreat.
In the cave, Li Hao practiced hard day and night, constantly challenging his limits. He studied ancient books, practiced Taoism, and comprehended nature, completely integrating his body and mind into the world of Taoism. After several years of retreat, his cultivation has reached a whole new level, and he can even feel the subtle changes between heaven and earth.
When Li Hao came out, his temperament had changed dramatically. His eyes were deep and bright, as if he could see through all the vanity of the world. His words and deeds reveal an otherworldly temperament, which makes people involuntarily feel awe.
After leaving the customs, Li Hao was not in a hurry to return to the secular world, but chose to continue to travel around the world and teach his Taoism to more people. He walked through mountains and rivers, witnessed the prosperity and loneliness of the world, and also witnessed the goodness and ugliness of human nature. But he always adhered to his beliefs and used the power of the Tao to resolve the disputes and sufferings in the world.
During a trip, Li Hao came to a remote village. The villagers here live in poverty and suffer from disease and natural disasters. When Li Hao saw this scene, his heart was full of sympathy and pity. He decided to stay and use his Taoism to bring hope and change to the villagers.
He taught the villagers the basics of cultivating the Tao so that they could strengthen their bodies and resist diseases. He also used his wisdom to help the villagers improve their living environment and develop production. With his help, the village gradually became prosperous and the lives of the villagers improved significantly.
However, just as the village was gradually thriving, a sudden natural disaster shattered the tranquility. A rare flash flood swept through the village, destroying countless houses and causing heavy casualties. In the face of this disaster, Li Hao did not flinch, he used his Dao power to protect the safety of the villagers. He directed the torrent to low-lying areas, mitigating the damage to the village. At the same time, he also used his medical skills to treat the injured villagers so that they could recover as soon as possible.
In this disaster, Li Hao showed extraordinary strength and compassion. With his actions, he proved the breadth and profundity of Taoist culture and the noble qualities of Taoist disciples. His deeds spread all over the world and became a legendary hero in people's mouths.
However, for Li Hao, all this is just an episode on the path of cultivation. He knows that his mission is not yet complete, and he will continue to practice and teach the Tao to bring more benefits to the common people in the world. His story will forever be passed down to future generations and become a good story in Taoist culture.
