In the beautiful and majestic Huangshan Mountain, there is a herbalist surnamed Sun. Sun Sheng has grown up in the village at the foot of Huangshan Mountain since childhood. He is full of love and reverence for this mysterious and magnificent mountain forest. Every day, he will carry a medicine basket on his back and shuttle among the lofty mountains and ridges of Huangshan Mountain to look for various precious herbs.

 

Sun Sheng not only has rich experience in gathering herbs but also has deep pity for every plant, tree, bird, and beast in the mountains. In his view, nature is a world full of magic and mystery. Every life has its unique value and significance.

 

One day, Sun Sheng went deep into Huangshan Mountain to gather herbs as usual. On that day, the sunlight shone through the clouds and cast a golden glow on the mountains. Sun Sheng walked along the winding mountain path, paying attention to the surrounding herbs while admiring the beautiful scenery in the mountains. Suddenly, he found a dead eagle in a remote valley.

 

The eagle's body is huge, and its feathers still have the majesty of the past. It lies quietly on the ground, and there seems to be a lingering longing for the sky in its eyes. Sun Sheng felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart. He felt that this eagle must have been the overlord of the sky before it was alive. Now it dies so lonely, which is really a pity.

 

Sun Sheng put down his medicine basket and decided to hold a simple funeral for the eagle. He found a suitable place and carefully dug a pit with a shovel. Then, he gently placed the eagle's body into the pit and slowly covered it with soil. During the burial process, Sun Sheng prayed silently in his heart, hoping that the eagle's soul could rest in peace and that nature could continue to bless this beautiful mountain forest.

 

That night, Sun Sheng returned home and lay tiredly on the bed. Huangshan Mountain at night is extremely quiet, only the occasional sound of wind and insects can be heard. Sun Sheng gradually fell asleep. Suddenly, a cool breeze blew, and the candlelight swayed unsteadily. Sun Sheng vaguely saw a figure appear at the door. It was a man in golden armor.

 

The man's temperament is majestic and sacred, and there is a powerful aura emanating from his body. He slowly walked up to Sun Sheng and bowed to express his gratitude: "Benefactor, thank you for your kindness today. I am originally that eagle. I unfortunately died today. 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."

 

Sun Sheng widened his eyes in surprise and confusion. He didn't expect the eagle he buried during the day to turn into a man in golden armor and appear in his dream. The man then said: "Benefactor, there is one more thing to tell you. There will be a storm coming tomorrow. Benefactor, please don't go up the mountain." After saying that, the man's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

 

Sun 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 there was a vague sense of uneasiness in his heart. After some thinking, Sun Sheng decided to follow the advice of the man in his dream and not go up the mountain to gather herbs tomorrow.

 

The next day, the sky was terribly gloomy, and dark clouds were gathering. After a while, a strong wind blew, and heavy rain poured down. Huangshan Mountain seemed to turn into a violent world. The strong wind howled, the trees were blown crooked, rocks rolled down, and the river swelled. Sun Sheng looked at the scene outside the window and was filled with shock and relief. He was glad that he had listened to the advice of the man in his dream and didn't go up the mountain. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

 

After this storm, Sun Sheng's reverence for nature became even deeper. He deeply realized that nature is a world full of power and mystery. Humans are so small and fragile in front of nature. We should respect nature, revere nature, and live in harmony with nature.

 

In Taoist thought, it emphasizes the harmonious unity of humans and nature. It is believed that humans are a part of nature and should follow the laws of nature and integrate with nature. Sun Sheng's behavior reflects this thought. His kindness to the eagle is not only respect for a life but also reverence for nature. And the reminder from the eagle in his dream also made him more deeply understand the power and mystery of nature.

 

After that, Sun Sheng became more cautious in the process of gathering herbs. He will pay more attention to changes in the weather and avoid going up the mountain in bad weather. At the same time, he will also cherish every life in the mountains even more and will no longer easily damage the natural environment. He knows that only by living in harmony with nature can we obtain the blessings and protection of nature.

 

One day, when Sun Sheng was gathering herbs in the mountains, he accidentally lost his way. He wandered in the mountain forest for a long time but still couldn't find his way home. At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and Sun Sheng began to feel a little anxious. Just when he was in despair, an eagle suddenly appeared above his head.

 

The eagle circled in the air a few times and then flew in one direction. Sun Sheng's heart moved. He felt that this eagle might be leading the way for him. So, he closely followed the eagle. Sure enough, under the leadership of the eagle, Sun Sheng quickly found his way home.

 

Sun Sheng was filled with gratitude. He knew that this eagle must be the soul of the eagle he buried blessing him. From then on, Sun Sheng strengthened his reverence for nature even more. He will often tell the villagers about his experience and call on everyone to protect nature and live in harmony with nature.

 

This story is full of interest and mystery. Sun Sheng's dream and the appearance of the eagle make people full of reverence and yearning for nature. At the same time, this story also tells us that in life, we should respect every life and live in harmony with nature. Only in this way can we obtain true happiness and peace.
