In the beautiful Lushan Mountain, there is a hunter surnamed Lin. Lin Sheng has grown up in this mountain-surrounded place and makes a living by hunting. He is vigorous and nimble, with keen eyesight. He moves freely in the mountains and forests and is very familiar with the terrain and landforms in the mountains. However, different from other hunters, Lin Sheng always has a sense of reverence for the living beings in the mountains although he makes a living by hunting. He deeply knows the mystery and greatness of nature and understands that everything has its own value and significance.

One day, in the early morning, the sunlight penetrated the layers of clouds and fell mottledly among the mountains and forests of Lushan Mountain. As usual, Lin Sheng, carrying hunting tools on his back, stepped into this familiar mountain forest. The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, just like a fairyland. The air is fresh and moist, carrying the fragrance of soil and vegetation. Lin Sheng took a deep breath and felt the gift of nature. His heart was full of tranquility and peace.

He walked slowly along the mountain path, with light and steady steps. Suddenly, on a quiet hillside, Lin Sheng found a dead white deer. The white deer has a beautiful figure, and its fur is as white as snow, just like a delicate work of art. It lies quietly on the ground, its eyes slightly open, and there seems to be unwillingness in its eyes. Lin Sheng felt a wave of pity in his heart. He slowly approached the white deer and squatted down to observe it carefully.

There is no obvious wound on the white deer's body, but Lin Sheng can feel that it must have endured great pain before it died. He gently stroked the white deer's fur and was filled with emotion. In his opinion, everything has a spirit. This white deer must have encountered misfortune before it died so tragically. Lin Sheng couldn't bear to let the white deer's body be exposed in the wilderness and be gnawed by other wild animals. He decided to hold a simple funeral for the white deer.

Lin Sheng put down his hunting tools, picked up a shovel, and dug a pit on the hillside. He carefully put the white deer's body into the pit and then covered it with soil. While burying the white deer, Lin Sheng prayed silently in his heart, hoping that the white deer's soul could rest in peace. He knew that in this mysterious mountain forest, the cycle of life is inevitable, but he also believes that every life should be respected and cared for.

That night, Lin Sheng returned home and rested in his simple house. The Lushan Mountain at night is extremely quiet. Only the occasional chirping of insects breaks this silence. Lin Sheng lay on the bed, and his tired body gradually relaxed. Suddenly, a cool breeze blew, and the candlelight swayed. Lin Sheng vaguely saw a figure appear at the door. It was a woman in white. The woman had an extraordinary temperament, just like a fairy descending to the mortal world. Her skin was as white as snow, her eyes were clear and bright, and her long hair hung down on her shoulders like a waterfall. The woman walked slowly, and it seemed that there was a flash of light with every step she took, as if carrying a mysterious power.

Lin Sheng widened his eyes, full of surprise and confusion. He didn't know who this woman was and why she appeared in his home. The woman walked up to Lin Sheng and bowed to him to express her gratitude. "Benefactor, thank you for your kindness today. I am originally the white deer in the mountain. Today, I was attacked by a vicious wolf and died unfortunately. If it weren't for you burying me, I'm afraid I would be gnawed by other wild animals and my soul would be scattered. Now my soul can rest in peace. I come here especially to thank you."

After listening to the woman's words, Lin Sheng suddenly understood. It turned out that this woman was transformed by the white deer he buried during the day. He was very surprised and also felt sorry for the white deer's encounter. The woman then said, "Benefactor, there is one more thing I want to ask for your help." Although Lin Sheng was a little surprised, he still said calmly, "Just say it." The woman said, "The vicious wolf will not give up so easily. Tomorrow it will surely bewitch a person and let that person come to take my life with a bow and arrow. Benefactor, please remember that the white deer that person with a bow and arrow is going to shoot tomorrow is me."

Suddenly, a thunderbolt rang out, and Lin Sheng woke up from his dream, covered in cold sweat. He sat up and recalled the dream just now. He was half-believing and half-doubting, but he felt a vague uneasiness in his heart. He decided to be more careful when going up the mountain tomorrow and see if someone would really come to shoot the white deer as the woman in the dream said.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly. Lin Sheng got up early and carried his hunting tools to enter the mountain again. While walking, he paid attention to the movements around him, full of vigilance. When he walked into a mountain forest, he really saw a person holding a bow and arrow, looking around furtively. Lin Sheng's heart thumped. He remembered the dream from last night. He quickly walked up and stopped that person.

The person saw Lin Sheng and looked a little panicked. Lin Sheng asked calmly, "Why are you walking in the mountain with a bow and arrow?" The person stammered, "I... I am here to hunt." Lin Sheng looked into his eyes and said seriously, "Were you bewitched by a vicious wolf and came to shoot the white deer?" After hearing Lin Sheng's words, the person's face changed greatly. He looked at Lin Sheng in horror and said, "How... how do you know?"

Lin Sheng told that person in detail about the dream he had last night. Although the person was a little doubtful after hearing it, seeing Lin Sheng's serious expression, he had to believe it. Lin Sheng persuaded the person to put down the bow and arrow and not be used by the vicious wolf. After hesitating for a long time, the person finally decided to listen to Lin Sheng and put down the bow and arrow. Lin Sheng watched the person leave and breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he had successfully prevented a tragedy.

A few years later, Lin Sheng encountered danger in the mountains. On that day, he was hunting alone in the mountains and accidentally walked into an unfamiliar mountain forest. There was a strange atmosphere permeating this mountain forest, which made Lin Sheng feel very uneasy. He walked carefully. Suddenly, he heard a low roar. Lin Sheng was shocked. He knew it was the sound of a fierce beast. He quickly stopped and looked around for a place to hide.

At this moment, a white deer suddenly jumped out from the woods beside. Lin Sheng took a closer look. Isn't this the white deer he buried a few years ago? When the white deer saw Lin Sheng, there was a kind look in its eyes. It landed steadily on the ground and then turned and walked towards the direction where the roar came from. Lin Sheng's heart warmed. He knew that the white deer had come to save him.

The white deer walked in front of Lin Sheng, blocked him with its body, and then let out a loud cry towards the direction where the roar came from. After a while, a huge fierce beast rushed out from the woods. It was a fierce tiger. Its eyes flashed with fierce light, and its mouth showed sharp teeth. Lin Sheng's heart tightened. He knew that he was in big trouble today.

The white deer faced the tiger fearlessly. There was a mysterious light emanating from its body. When the tiger saw the white deer, it seemed a little afraid, but it still pounced on the white deer with its claws waving. The white deer nimbly dodged the tiger's attack and then thrust its horn hard at the tiger. The tiger was pushed back again and again by the white deer. It roared angrily and pounced on the white deer again.

The white deer and the tiger engaged in a fierce battle. Lin Sheng watched nervously on the side, his heart full of worry. He knew that the white deer was fighting with the tiger to save him, but he was also worried that the white deer would be injured. Just when he was extremely anxious, the white deer suddenly emitted a strong light. That light was like an arrow shooting at the tiger. The tiger was hit by the light and its body trembled violently. Finally, it fell to the ground and remained motionless.

After defeating the tiger, the white deer turned and walked up to Lin Sheng. It gently rubbed its head against Lin Sheng's body, as if comforting him. Lin Sheng was filled with emotion. He knew that this was the white deer he had saved back then coming to repay his kindness. He gently stroked the white deer's fur, his eyes full of gratitude. The white deer nodded at Lin Sheng and then turned and jumped away.

Lin Sheng watched the white deer leave, his heart full of awe. He knew that in this mysterious mountain forest, there is a power beyond human understanding. This power stems from the mystery and greatness of nature and also from the mutual care and respect among lives. From then on, Lin Sheng strengthened his sense of reverence for the living beings in the mountains. He no longer hunted casually but chose to get along with nature in a more harmonious way.

In Taoist thought, it emphasizes the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature and believes that everything has a spirit. Lin Sheng's behavior reflects this thought. His kind act towards the white deer not only saved the white deer's life but also brought him blessings. This story tells us that in life, we should respect every life and get along harmoniously with nature. Only in this way can we obtain true happiness and peace. At the same time, this story is also full of interest. Through Lin Sheng's dream and the white deer's repayment of kindness, it shows a mysterious and beautiful power, making people full of awe and yearning for nature.
