In legend, when Zhang Daoling and his disciples passed by a Taoist temple, they heard that there was a white tiger appearing in the west city. This white tiger likes to drink human blood, and every year, living people need to be sacrificed to the white tiger locally. Zhang Daoling, with compassion in his heart, voluntarily acts as the sacrificed role. Inside the White Tiger Temple, with extraordinary courage and profound spiritual power, he is prepared to subdue the white tiger spirit. When the white tiger appears, Zhang Daoling emits a dazzling red light. This red light stings the white tiger's eyes. In the face of this powerful force, the white tiger feels Zhang Daoling's majesty and kindness and kneels down and begs. Eventually, the white tiger vows never to endanger the countryside again and since then has become Zhang Daoling's mount. The might of the white tiger and the wisdom and compassion of Zhang Daoling complement each other. Together, they embark on the road of helping the world and saving people. The white tiger is not only Zhang Daoling's means of transportation but also his capable assistant. When facing various difficulties and obstacles, the white tiger always charges ahead and solves problems for Zhang Daoling.

 

In addition, Zhang Daoling also has a profound connection with the ghosts and gods of the five directions, eight tribes, and six heavens. After Zhang Daoling obtained the mysterious treasures such as the Secret Talisman of Zhengyi Alliance and Prestige bestowed by Taishang Laojun, he governed the ghosts and gods of eight tribes and the demon king of six heavens in Shu region. With supreme majesty and divine power, he commanded the ghosts and gods of the five directions, eight tribes, and six heavens to convene under the Yellow Emperor Altar in Qingcheng Mountain. In this sacred place, Zhang Daoling separated the governance of humans and ghosts and turned the prisons of ghosts and gods into twenty-four blessed courts, that is, twenty-four administrative regions. For each administrative region, there is one yin official and one immortal official, who are in charge of human affairs, blessings, and disasters respectively. In this way, Zhang Daoling established a unique Taoist governance system, allowing both the human world and the ghost world to operate in an orderly manner. This great feat not only shows Zhang Daoling's outstanding leadership but also reflects his care and responsibility for all things in the world.

 

In the development of the Taoist immortal system, although Wang Lingguan is a subordinate of Sa Shoujian, he also has a certain indirect connection with Zhang Daoling. Sa Shoujian summoned the heavenly general Wang Lingguan of the Yushu Fire Department with a magic formation and took him as a subordinate and passed on his talisman secrets. As the founder of Taoism, Zhang Daoling's doctrines and spells have had a profound impact on later generations such as Sa Shoujian. The might and loyalty of Wang Lingguan also reflect to a certain extent the spirit of justice and bravery advocated by Zhang Daoling.

 

Zhang Daoling's life is a life full of challenges and miracles. His stories with these immortals not only enrich the legends of Taoism but also leave precious spiritual wealth for future generations. His courage, wisdom, compassion, and responsibility inspire generations of Taoist believers and people who pursue truth. In these stories, we see Zhang Daoling's unyielding attitude towards evil forces, his care and protection for all things in the world, and his firm dedication to Taoist beliefs.

 

The interaction between Zhang Daoling and the immortals also makes us feel the profoundness of Taoist culture. Taoism emphasizes the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature and pursues the tranquility and transcendence of the soul. Zhang Daoling's stories tell us that as long as we have justice in our hearts and bravely face difficulties, we can receive the protection and help of immortals. At the same time, these stories also remind us to respect nature, care for others, and face the challenges in life with a positive attitude.

 

In short, the stories of Zhang Daoling and related immortals are treasures in Taoist culture. They not only show us a magical world but also let us draw wisdom and strength from them. In today's society, we can draw positive energy from these stories and pursue a better future with more firm beliefs and courage.
