On the vast African continent, the scorching sun is blazing, and the earth is scorching hot. On this mysterious and wild land, all kinds of living beings live.
A Taoist priest named Lin Zhengying, entrusted by his good friend, embarked on this strange land of Africa with the body of a deceased overseas Chinese millionaire. Dressed in Taoist robes and holding a peachwood sword, Taoist Priest Lin has a solemn expression and an air of immortality. He knows that this task is extremely arduous. Not only must he safely send the body back to his hometown, but also deal with various unknown challenges that may arise along the way.
The plane they were on soared over Africa. Looking down at the vast land below through the window, Taoist Priest Lin was filled with deep emotions. Taoism emphasizes following nature. He understands that this trip to Africa is also following the arrangement of fate. After the plane landed, Taoist Priest Lin and his assistant carefully carried the body and began their difficult journey in Africa.
The natural scenery of Africa is magnificent and peculiar, with vast deserts, dense jungles and surging rivers. However, behind this beauty also hides countless dangers. Relying on his profound Taoist magic and firm belief, Taoist Priest Lin advances step by step. While crossing a desert, they encountered a strong sandstorm. The strong wind howled and the sand filled the sky, making it impossible to open one's eyes. Taoist Priest Lin hurriedly perform a ritual and used a talisman to protect the body and his assistant. He chanted incantations and mobilized the qi of heaven and earth to contend with the power of nature. In Taoism, people and nature are interdependent. People should follow the laws of nature and at the same time can use the power of nature to achieve their own purposes. Taoist Priest Lin deeply understands this point. He cleverly uses Taoist magic to resolve this crisis.
After walking out of the desert, they came to a primitive tribe. The people in the tribe were full of curiosity and vigilance towards these outsiders. Taoist Priest Lin treated them courteously and explained their purpose to the tribal leader. The leader was moved by Taoist Priest Lin's sincerity and decided to help them. In the tribe, Taoist Priest Lin felt the simplicity and kindness of the African people. Although they live a simple life, they have awe for nature and respect for life. This coincides with Taoist thought. Taoism advocates returning to simplicity and authenticity and pursues a simple and natural way of life. In his interaction with the tribal people, Taoist Priest Lin also learned a lot.
However, their journey was not so smooth sailing. While crossing a jungle, they encountered a group of fierce beasts. The beasts bared their fangs and claws and pounced on them. Taoist Priest Lin was not afraid at all. He brandished his peachwood sword and displayed various Taoist magic. Taoism emphasizes overcoming hardness with softness. Taoist Priest Lin applied this principle, cleverly avoiding the attacks of the beasts and using the surrounding environment to counterattack. He found a river and then led the beasts towards the river. When the beasts approached the river, he perform a ritual and made the river surge up and wash the beasts away.
After many hardships and dangers, Taoist Priest Lin finally brought the body to a peaceful place. Here, the mountains are clear and the waters are beautiful, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, as if it were a paradise on earth. Taoist Priest Lin decided to take a break here and adjust his state. In this process, he began to think about the meaning of life and his mission. Taoism believes that the meaning of life lies in pursuing the realm of Tao. Through cultivation and perception, one can reach a state of unity with nature. Taoist Priest Lin deeply knows that his mission is not only to send back the body, but also to spread Taoist thought and culture so that more people can understand and respect nature.
After resting, Taoist Priest Lin continued his journey. They finally arrived at the port and were ready to return to their hometown by ship. On the ship, Taoist Priest Lin looked at the distant sea and was filled with emotions. This trip to Africa has given him a deeper understanding of Taoist thought. He understands that Tao is everywhere. Whether in a bustling city or on a remote African continent, as long as we feel it with our hearts, we can find the existence of Tao.
When they returned to their hometown,, Taoist Priest Lin handed the body over to the millionaire's family. The family was extremely grateful to Taoist Priest Lin. They held a grand celebration banquet for Taoist Priest Lin. At the banquet, Taoist Priest Lin told everyone about his experiences and insights in Africa. He hopes that everyone can draw strength from his story, learn to respect nature, follow nature, and pursue a simple and meaningful life.
Although the story of "Vampire in Africa" has ended, Taoist Priest Lin's Taoist thought is like a seed that takes root and sprouts in people's hearts. It reminds us that in this complex world, we should maintain a heart of reverence for nature and use Taoist wisdom to face the challenges in life and pursue true happiness and peace.
