In the mysterious and magnificent Longhu Mountain, there is a Taoist priest surnamed He. Priest He has been practicing in the Taoist temple on Longhu Mountain since childhood. He has deep reverence and love for this land full of spiritual energy. The strange peaks and lofty ridges of Longhu Mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, seem to be the perfect combination of a fairyland on earth and a mysterious realm. The Taoist temple is located between green mountains and clear waters. With red walls and green tiles, it is solemn and simple. The melodious bells and the chanting of Taoist priests from time to time add a sacred atmosphere to this land.

Every morning, Priest He gets up early and practices Taoist exercises in the courtyard of the Taoist temple, inhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and comprehending the way of nature. Then, he will go deep into the mountains to explore the mysteries of nature, communicate with the living beings in the mountains, and feel the mysterious power contained in this land. He deeply knows that in this Longhu Mountain, every life has its unique value and meaning and is worthy of being respected and protected.

It was a sunny day. As usual, Priest He was strolling in the mountains. The breeze gently blew his Taoist robe, bringing bursts of floral fragrance and the fresh smell of plants. While admiring the beautiful scenery of Longhu Mountain, he was thinking about the profound mysteries of Taoism. Suddenly, he heard a faint cry.

Priest He followed the sound and found an injured monkey in a thick forest. There was a deep wound on the monkey's leg, and blood was constantly oozing out. Its eyes were full of pain and fear, which made people feel pity.

Priest He quickly squatted down and carefully examined the monkey's wound. He took out some herbs from his Taoist robe and gently applied them to the monkey's wound. Then, he bandaged the monkey's wound with a clean cloth. During the bandaging process, the monkey seemed to feel Priest He's kindness and stopped struggling, lying quietly in Priest He's arms.

After bandaging the monkey's wound, Priest He found some fruits and clean water and fed them to the monkey. The monkey slowly ate the fruits, and gradually some luster returned to its eyes. Priest He looked at the monkey, his heart full of relief. He knew that this monkey needed time to recover from its injury, so he decided to put the monkey in a safe place and let it recuperate at ease in the natural environment.

As days passed, the monkey's injury gradually improved. Its body became stronger and stronger, and its fur became shiny and smooth again. One day, the monkey suddenly disappeared. Although Priest He was a little lost, he was also happy for the monkey's recovery. He knew that the monkey had returned to the mountain forest where it belonged and continued its life.

However, Priest He didn't expect that this monkey would become his savior at his most dangerous moment.

One day, Priest He encountered a group of fierce beasts in the mountains. These beasts were startled by Priest He's appearance. They showed their sharp teeth and pounced on Priest He. Although Priest He knew some martial arts, facing so many fierce beasts, he also felt powerless.

Just when Priest He was in a desperate situation, a monkey suddenly appeared in front of him. The monkey let out an angry cry. It bravely rushed towards those beasts and used its body to block the attacks for Priest He. The monkey's bravery and fearlessness made those beasts feel afraid, and they retreated one after another.

Priest He took the opportunity to escape from the attacks of the beasts. He looked at the monkey, his heart full of gratitude and admiration. He knew that if it weren't for the monkey's appearance, he might have died at the mouths of the beasts.

From then on, Priest He's reverence for nature became even deeper. He deeply knew that in this mysterious Longhu Mountain, there was 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.

In Taoist thought, it emphasizes the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature and believes that everything has a spirit. Priest He's behavior reflects this thought. His rescue of the monkey is not only respect for a life but also reverence for nature. And the monkey's return also made him more deeply understand the mystery and greatness of nature.

After Priest He returned to the Taoist temple, he would often think of that monkey. He decided that he would cherish the lives in nature even more in the future and protect them with his own actions. He also began to tell his experience to other Taoist priests and believers in the Taoist temple, hoping that more people could understand that we are an integral part of nature and we should respect and protect every life in nature.

As time passed, Priest He's story spread in the Longhu Mountain area. More and more people were influenced by him and began to pay attention to the lives in nature and learn to respect and protect them. And that monkey has also become a legend of Longhu Mountain. People often see its figure in the mountains. It seems to be the messenger of nature, reminding people to live in harmony with nature.

This story is full of interest and mystery. The monkey's bravery and magic, and Priest He's kindness and bravery make people full of awe 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.

In the mountain forests of Longhu Mountain, Priest He continues his path of practice. He interprets Taoist thought with his actions and becomes a model in people's hearts. And that monkey often appears by his side, bringing him joy and blessings. Their story will always spread among the mountains and waters of Longhu Mountain, inspiring future generations to cherish nature and live in harmony with all things.
