In a remote small mountain village far from the hustle and bustle of the world, surrounded by green mountains and with gurgling green waters flowing. The villagers here are diligent and kind, living a peaceful and simple life. They rise with the sun and rest with the sunset, cultivating hope on this land and enjoying the gifts of nature.

The small mountain village is like a paradise on earth and is rarely known. However, the gears of fate turn inadvertently, and a crisis is quietly approaching. One day, a group of vicious bandits, while looting everywhere, accidentally learned of the existence of this small mountain village. Hearing that the village is rich in products and the villagers live a prosperous life, the bandits immediately became greedy and decided to come and loot this peaceful small mountain village.

The old Taoist priest in the village is white-haired and has a refined and immortal appearance. He has been practicing Taoist methods since childhood and has a profound understanding of everything in the world. The old Taoist priest is deeply respected by the villagers on weekdays. Not only is he proficient in medicine and often treats the villagers' illnesses and injuries, but he also uses Taoist wisdom to solve everyone's troubles. When the old Taoist priest learned the news that the bandits were about to attack, he was extremely worried. He knew well the cruelty and greed of the bandits. Once the village was looted, the villagers would fall into endless suffering.

After careful consideration, the old Taoist priest decided to draw a village protection talisman to protect the village and the safety of the villagers. He returned to the Taoist temple, closed the door tightly, and began a three-day retreat. During these three days, the old Taoist priest cut off all contact with the outside world and devoted himself entirely to drawing the talisman.

In the Taoist temple, incense smoke curls up, and it is peaceful and serene. The old Taoist priest sat cross-legged, with an ancient yellow paper and a specially made brush placed in front of him. He closed his eyes, calmed his mind and concentrated, feeling the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. After a moment, the old Taoist priest opened his eyes, and there was a firm light in his eyes. He picked up the brush, dipped it in cinnabar, and began to draw on the yellow paper stroke by stroke.

Each stroke contains the old Taoist priest's profound skills and care for the villagers. The patterns on the talisman are mysterious and complex, as if containing the mysteries of heaven and earth. The old Taoist priest was fully concentrated and did not dare to be negligent at all. As time passed, the patterns on the talisman gradually became clear, and a mysterious power was also slowly condensing.

During the retreat, the old Taoist priest not only had to draw the talisman but also had to use Taoist spells to summon the gods between heaven and earth to help. He chanted incantations and constantly changed his hand gestures. In the Taoist temple, light flashed as if there was a mysterious power surging. The old Taoist priest knew that this was the gods responding to his summons.

Three days later, the old Taoist priest finally completed the drawing of the village protection talisman. He was extremely exhausted, but there was joy and expectation in his eyes. At this time, the village protection talisman emitted a dazzling light, as if containing infinite power.

Just as the old Taoist priest completed the village protection talisman, the bandits were also approaching the small mountain village in a mighty way. They rode tall horses and held sharp blades, full of arrogance. There was a ferocious smile on the bandits' faces, as if they had already seen the wealth in the village and the fear of the villagers.

When the bandits approached the village, suddenly a strong wind blew. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. The strong wind howled as if it was going to destroy everything. The bandits were frightened by this sudden scene and their horses were also frightened and ran around in all directions.

Just when the bandits were in chaos, a mysterious light rose from around the village. This light was like a huge shield, covering the entire small mountain village. The light flashed with mysterious runes and emitted a powerful force. The bandits looked at this light in horror, and they felt an irresistible pressure.

Some timid bandits saw this and turned their horses around one after another, preparing to flee. However, the bandit leader was unwilling to give up just like that. He roared loudly and ordered the bandits under him to continue attacking. But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't break through that mysterious light.

Just when the bandits were at a loss, a figure of a god suddenly appeared in the sky. The god was wearing a gorgeous Taoist robe, holding a horsetail whisk, and his face was kind and majestic. He looked at the bandits and said slowly, "You villains, how dare you invade this peaceful small mountain village. Today, with the village protection talisman here, you will never succeed. If you don't repent, you will surely be punished by heaven."

The bandits were terrified when they heard the words of the god. They all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy. Seeing this, the god nodded slightly, and then waved his horsetail whisk. The strong wind and dark clouds disappeared instantly. The figure of the god also gradually disappeared in the sky.

The bandits didn't dare to have any more evil thoughts. They fled the small mountain village in disgrace. From then on, this small mountain village has been safe and sound under the protection of the village protection talisman. The villagers are full of gratitude to the old Taoist priest. They know that it is the old Taoist priest's village protection talisman and the help of the god that saved them from a disaster.

The old Taoist priest is even more respected by the villagers because of this incident. He continues to practice in the Taoist temple and guards this small mountain village with his wisdom and power. And that village protection talisman has also become a legend of the small mountain village, passing on one story after another about bravery, kindness, and protection.
