In a secluded valley on the land of China stands an ancient Taoist temple. The walls of the temple are covered with traces of time, and the green tiles shimmer with an ancient glow under the sunlight. This Taoist temple is like a wise old man, quietly guarding this land and passing on the ancient Taoist culture.
In the Taoist temple, there is an elderly Taoist priest. His hair is white and his face is thin, but his eyes reveal a profound wisdom and a firm belief. The Taoist priest entered the Taoist path for cultivation since childhood and has been dedicated to promoting Taoism all his life. He has walked through countless mountains and rivers, spreading the teachings of Taoism and helping countless sentient beings.
In the heart of the Taoist priest, Taoism is not only a religious belief but also a way of life, a profound understanding and perception of life. He believes that through Taoist cultivation, people can achieve inner peace and tranquility and live in harmony with all things in heaven and earth. He often teaches his disciples to treat others with a kind, tolerant, and humble attitude, respect nature, and follow the laws of nature.
As time passes, the day of the Grand Ritual of Pervasive Heaven is approaching. The Grand Ritual of Pervasive Heaven is one of the grandest Taoist rituals. Each time it is held, it attracts many believers and tourists. For the Taoist priest, this is an extremely important opportunity. He hopes to pray for all sentient beings and seek the protection of the gods of heaven and earth through this ritual.
On the eve of the Grand Ritual of Pervasive Heaven, the Taoist priest began to make careful preparations. He led his disciples to clean the Taoist temple, organize the magic tools, and prepare the offerings. No detail was overlooked, and every action was filled with piety and awe. The Taoist priest personally selected the best incense, candles, fruits, and flowers, and also drew some talismans by hand, hoping that these talismans can exert powerful forces in the ritual.
To ensure the smooth progress of the ritual, the Taoist priest also carried out a long period of meditation and prayer. He sat in the quiet room of the Taoist temple, closed his eyes, and immersed his mind in a peaceful atmosphere. He communicated with the gods of heaven and earth, praying for their guidance and protection. During the meditation, the Taoist priest felt a powerful force, which filled him with confidence and courage.
Finally, the day of the Grand Ritual of Pervasive Heaven arrived. On this day, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing gently. In the mountains and forests around the Taoist temple, birds were singing cheerfully, as if cheering for this grand ritual. In the Taoist temple, there were huge crowds of people. Believers came from all directions. With reverent hearts, they were looking forward to the beginning of the ritual.
The Taoist priest was wearing gorgeous Taoist robes, a Taoist crown on his head, and a horsetail whisk in his hand. Slowly, he walked onto the ritual altar. His steps were steady and solemn, and every action was filled with a sense of sacredness. On the ritual altar, the Taoist priest faced many believers and began the solemn ceremony.
He first lit the incense and candles. The curling smoke rose and filled the entire Taoist temple. The Taoist priest closed his eyes and silently prayed, praying for the protection of the gods of heaven and earth. Then, he picked up the magic tool and began to recite scriptures. His voice was deep and powerful, full of infectious power. Every word of the scriptures seemed to carry a mysterious power, making everyone present feel the profoundness of Taoism.
During the ritual, the expression of the Taoist priest was always solemn and serious. Every action of his was carefully designed, and every detail was filled with a sense of sacredness. He seemed to have transformed into an envoy of the gods, passing on the blessings of the gods of heaven and earth to everyone. The believers present were also infected by the solemnity of the Taoist priest. They quietly listened to the scriptures, filled with awe and emotion.
As the ritual progressed, some changes gradually appeared in the sky. In the originally clear sky, several white clouds suddenly appeared. These white clouds slowly gathered together and formed a huge circle. In the center of the circle, a gorgeous rainbow slowly appeared. The colors of the rainbow were bright and dazzling, as if it were the most beautiful painting between heaven and earth.
Everyone was shocked by this gorgeous rainbow. They all believed that this was the response of the gods. The Taoist priest also looked up and saw the rainbow in the sky. His heart was filled with emotion. He knew that this was the blessing of the gods of heaven and earth to them and also an encouragement to them. He believed that as long as they adhered to their beliefs and worked hard in cultivation, they would definitely be protected by the gods of heaven and earth.
After the ritual ended, the Taoist priest slowly walked down from the ritual altar. There was a trace of fatigue on his face, but his eyes were filled with relief and joy. He knew that today's ritual was very successful, and his wish to pray for all sentient beings had been realized. He believed that this gorgeous rainbow would become a ray of hope in people's hearts, leading them to a more beautiful future.
In the following days, the Taoist priest continued on his path of promoting Taoism. He led his disciples deep into the folk, helping the common people solve their difficulties and spreading the culture and wisdom of Taoism. He believed that as long as they persevered in their efforts, they would definitely let more people understand Taoism and feel the charm of Taoism.
And that gorgeous rainbow has also become an eternal memory in people's hearts. Whenever people think of that rainbow, they will think of the solemnity and sacredness of the Taoist priest and think of the profoundness of Taoism. That rainbow is not only the response of the gods but also a hope and a longing for a better life.
