On the Halloween night, darkness enveloped the earth, and a mysterious atmosphere pervaded the air. The waves crashed against the shore, making a rumbling sound as if telling ancient stories. On this silent and mysterious night, a ghost ship quietly appeared on the vast ocean.
This ghost ship was dilapidated, with its hull covered in mottled marks as if it had undergone countless years of baptism. The sails on the ship swayed in the wind, making eerie sounds. The ghosts roamed and shuttled on the ship. Their figures were faintly visible, emitting a terrifying aura. Their cries were shrill and terrifying, as if a call from hell, terrifying the fishermen nearby.
The fishermen were already uneasy on this night. When they saw the ghost ship, fear instantly enveloped their hearts. They all stopped their work and stared in horror at that mysterious ghost ship. Some people slumped to the ground in fright, while others quickly ran back to the village to ask others for help. The entire fishing village was plunged into chaos.
Just when the fishermen were in despair, a Taoist priest heard their cries for help. This Taoist priest was named Qingfeng. He had been practicing in the mountains since he was young and had a profound understanding of Taoist spells and wisdom. When he heard about the appearance of the ghost ship, he immediately realized that this was a serious crisis. Without hesitation, he picked up his magic tool and walked towards the seaside.
When Qingfeng came to the seaside, he saw the ghost ship and the terrified fishermen. A strong sense of responsibility welled up in his heart. He knew that he had to take action to protect these innocent people. He stood quietly by the seaside, closed his eyes, and began to adjust his breathing to make his state of mind calm and firm.
Qingfeng opened his eyes, looked at the ghost ship, and murmured incantations. He recited Taoist incantations. These incantations contained powerful forces that could dispel evil and protect kindness. As his incantations sounded, a powerful light emanated from his body and enveloped the entire ghost ship.
The ghosts became restless under the illumination of the light. They felt this powerful force and were filled with fear. They tried to resist, but found that their power seemed so insignificant in front of this light. Their cries became even more shrill, but they couldn't break free from the shackles of this light.
Qingfeng continued to recite incantations. His voice became louder and more firm. He told the ghosts that their resentment and pain would only make them fall into an endless cycle and could not be liberated. Only by putting down resentment and learning tolerance and kindness could they get rid of pain and obtain true liberation.
Under Qingfeng's persuasion, the ghosts gradually began to reflect on their actions. They remembered all the experiences they had before their lives, and their hearts were filled with remorse and pain. They began to understand that their resentment could not change the past and would only make them more painful. Under the influence of Qingfeng's light and incantations, a warm power gradually surged in their hearts. This power made them feel a trace of peace and hope.
As time passed, the ghosts' emotions gradually stabilized. They no longer made terrifying cries but stood quietly on the ship, listening to Qingfeng's incantations. Their figures also became fainter and fainter, as if gradually disappearing. Finally, with Qingfeng's last incantation, the ghost ship disappeared on the sea surface as if it had never appeared before.
When the fishermen saw the ghost ship disappear, their hearts were filled with gratitude and admiration. They all came to Qingfeng and expressed their thanks to him. Qingfeng looked at them with a smile and said, "This is what I should do. Taoism emphasizes following nature and protecting life. We should learn tolerance and kindness and not be bound by resentment and pain. Only in this way can we truly obtain happiness and peace."
The fishermen were deeply inspired by Qingfeng's words. They decided to change their attitude towards life from now on and learn tolerance and kindness. They believed that with the wisdom of Taoism and Qingfeng's help, their lives would definitely become better.
And on this Halloween night, Qingfeng used his actions to interpret the thoughts and wisdom of Taoism. His story spread in the fishing village and became a legend in people's hearts. From then on, whenever the Halloween night came, people would think of Qingfeng and the story of that ghost ship. They would cherish their present lives more, learn tolerance and kindness, and use their actions to create a better world.
