On a quiet night, the mysterious atmosphere of Halloween enveloped the earth. The ancient Taoist temple is located in the mountains, like a fortress guarding mysterious powers. Outside the Taoist temple, the moonlight is like water, 洒在大地上，casting a layer of silver veil on everything.

The little Taoist boy, wearing a light blue Taoist robe and tying a lovely bun, was playing happily in the yard outside the Taoist temple. His eyes sparkled with curiosity, full of endless desire to explore the world. At this time, Halloween decorations dotted the surroundings of the Taoist temple, adding a mysterious color to this peaceful place.

Suddenly, the little Taoist boy's gaze was attracted by a strange pumpkin lantern. This pumpkin lantern is completely different from what he usually sees. It emits a strange light, as if hiding endless secrets. The little Taoist boy was filled with curiosity and couldn't help but approach the pumpkin lantern. When his hand gently touched the surface of the pumpkin lantern, a powerful mysterious force suddenly gushed out, like an invisible vortex, sucking the little Taoist boy in abruptly.

The little Taoist boy only felt a flash of darkness before his eyes, and his body seemed to lose weight and was swept into an unknown world. His heart was filled with fear, but he was powerless and could only let this mysterious force carry him and drift.

Inside the Taoist temple, the old Taoist priest was sitting with his eyes closed, cultivating profound Taoist methods. His face was serene and peaceful, as if integrated with the whole world. However, the moment the little Taoist boy was sucked away by the pumpkin lantern, the old Taoist priest immediately sensed the abnormality. He opened his eyes suddenly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. Relying on years of cultivation and keen perception, the old Taoist priest immediately realized that the little Taoist boy was in danger.

He quickly stood up, holding a horsetail whisk, and walked out of the Taoist temple with light steps. When he saw the pumpkin lantern emitting a strange light, he already understood everything. The old Taoist priest knew that this pumpkin lantern had been enchanted by a naughty ghost, which is why it sucked the little Taoist boy away.

The old Taoist priest's face was solemn. He knew that the power of this ghost should not be underestimated. But he was not afraid at all, because he had profound Taoist methods and firm beliefs. The old Taoist priest closed his eyes, calmed down, and began to perform spells. He murmured incantations, and waved the horsetail whisk in his hand gently. Mysterious rays of light emanated from his body.

As the old Taoist priest performed spells, the air around seemed to freeze. Mysterious runes appeared around his body. These runes flashed with light, like guardians. The old Taoist priest concentrated his mind and tried to communicate with the Taoist star gods in the East. In Taoist beliefs, the star gods possess extremely powerful forces and they guard the peace and justice of the world.

The old Taoist priest's mind was connected with the star gods, and he felt the existence of the star gods. He prayed silently, asking the star gods to send down power and rescue the little Taoist boy. Under his sincere prayer, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in the sky. This light streaked across the night sky like a meteor and shot straight at the pumpkin lantern.

When the light enveloped the pumpkin lantern, the mysterious power in the pumpkin lantern began to tremble. The naughty ghost felt the power of the star gods and was filled with fear. It tried to resist, but in front of the powerful power of the star gods, its resistance seemed so insignificant.

In the end, the light sent down by the star gods successfully broke the mysterious power in the pumpkin lantern and rescued the little Taoist boy. The little Taoist boy slowly floated down from the pumpkin lantern, his face pale, but his eyes were full of gratitude and awe. The old Taoist priest hurriedly stepped forward, took the little Taoist boy in his arms, and checked if there were any injuries on his body.

After a thorough examination, the old Taoist priest confirmed that the little Taoist boy was unharmed, just a little frightened. He gently stroked the little Taoist boy's head and comforted him, "Don't be afraid. As long as Master is here, you will be fine." The little Taoist boy hugged the old Taoist priest tightly, with tears welling up in his eyes.

The old Taoist priest looked at the pumpkin lantern and was filled with emotions. He knew that the world is full of various mysterious powers and dangers, but as long as there is firm belief and profound Taoist methods, everything can be overcome. He decided to tell the little Taoist boy about this experience and let him understand the power and responsibility of Taoism.

After returning to the Taoist temple, the old Taoist priest sat on the cattail hassock, and the little Taoist boy sat obediently beside him. The old Taoist priest said slowly, "Child, today's experience has made you understand what danger is, but it has also let you see the power of Taoism. We practice Taoist methods not only for our own growth but also to guard the peace and justice of this world. When encountering danger, we must face it bravely, believe in our own strength, and also draw on the power of the star gods."

The little Taoist boy listened attentively to the old Taoist priest's words, his heart filled with awe and longing for Taoism. He secretly made up his mind to work harder to practice Taoist methods and become someone like his master, guarding the peace and justice of this world.

From then on, the little Taoist boy's belief in Taoism became even more firm. He practiced hard every day and continuously improved his Taoist skills. The old Taoist priest also paid more attention to teaching the little Taoist boy, imparting more Taoist knowledge and spells to him.

On this Halloween night, although the mysterious power in the pumpkin lantern brought a thrilling experience to the little Taoist boy, it also made him more deeply understand the power and responsibility of Taoism. The master and apprentice will continue to move forward on the path of Taoism and guard the peace and justice of this world.
