In a place surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, there is a peaceful small village. This small village is like a beautiful rural painting. The well-arranged farmhouses, the crisscrossed fields, and the gurgling brook together form a poetic world. However, such a seemingly beautiful place has long been plagued by evil spirits.

The evil spirits in the village often appear at night, bringing fear and uneasiness. Sometimes, they will make strange noises when the villagers are fast asleep, waking people up from their dreams and making them terrified; sometimes, they will destroy crops and livestock, making the villagers' hard work go to waste. The villagers are suffering unbearably but are helpless and can only live in fear.

In this small village, there is a young man named Zhang Yue. Zhang Yue has been full of yearning for Taoism since he was a child. He often looks at the floating clouds in the sky on the small paths in the village and imagines the appearance of the Taoist fairyland. He has heard many magical legends about Taoism and knows that Taoism has mysterious power and wisdom that can drive away evil spirits and uphold justice and save the common people.

Zhang Yue looked at the villagers being troubled by evil spirits, and his heart was filled with pity and anger. He decided to go and find the method of Taoist ordination to rescue the villagers from the fire and water. He knew that this would be a road full of difficulties and obstacles, but he was not afraid at all because he had firm beliefs and deep love for the villagers.

Zhang Yue shouldered his backpack and embarked on the journey of searching for Taoist ordination. He walked through the rugged mountain roads, traversed the dense forests, and waded through the turbulent rivers. During the journey, he encountered many difficulties and challenges.

Once, he walked into a dark forest. The forest was filled with a strange atmosphere. The trees were tall and dense, and the sunlight could hardly penetrate. Zhang Yue walked carefully, his heart full of vigilance. Suddenly, he heard a gloomy laugh, and then a group of black shadows surged from all directions. These black shadows had different shapes, some like monsters, some like ghosts, making people's hair stand on end. Zhang Yue knew that this was the work of evil spirits. He quickly calmed down and remembered the Taoist knowledge he had learned. He murmured incantations and brandished a peach-wood sword in his hand, trying to drive away these evil spirits. However, there were more and more evil spirits, and Zhang Yue gradually fell into a predicament.

Just when he felt desperate, a golden light suddenly descended from the sky. In the golden light, a Taoist priest with an immortal demeanor appeared. The Taoist priest held a horsetail whisk and waved it gently, and the evil spirits fled in all directions. Zhang Yue looked at the Taoist priest gratefully. The Taoist priest smiled and said to him, "Young man, your courage and determination have moved me. But the road to Taoist ordination is long and arduous. You have to be prepared." Zhang Yue firmly replied, "Taoist priest, I am not afraid of difficulties. As long as I can rescue the villagers, I am willing to give everything." The Taoist priest nodded, gave Zhang Yue some guidance and encouragement, and then disappeared in the golden light.

Zhang Yue continued his journey and encountered many difficulties and tests. He encountered violent storms and was almost washed away by floods; he encountered hunger and cold and could only eat wild vegetables and fruits to satisfy his hunger; he also encountered some people with evil intentions who tried to rob him of his property. But Zhang Yue never gave up. With his strong will and belief in Taoism, he overcame one difficulty after another.

After a long journey, Zhang Yue finally found an old Taoist priest. The old Taoist priest lived in seclusion in a deep mountain. His Taoist temple was simple and peaceful. Zhang Yue explained his intention to the old Taoist priest. The old Taoist priest looked at him silently. After a long time, he slowly said, "You have a kind heart and firm belief. This is an important quality to become an ordained Taoist priest. But Taoist ordination is not easy. You need to pass a series of tests." Zhang Yue said without hesitation, "I am willing to accept the tests."

The old Taoist priest arranged three tests for Zhang Yue. The first test was to let him recite a thick Taoist classic within a month. Zhang Yue studied hard day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep, and finally completed the test within the specified time. The second test was to let him live alone in the mountains for a month without any contact with the outside world. Zhang Yue endured loneliness and solitude in the mountains and became one with nature, and also passed the test smoothly. The third test was to let him help a poor village solve its problems. Zhang Yue came to that village and found that the villagers were living in hardship due to lack of water. He searched everywhere for water sources and finally found a clear spring on a mountain. He led the villagers to build canals and introduced the clear spring into the village, solving the villagers' drinking water problem.

After passing the three tests, the old Taoist priest was very satisfied with Zhang Yue. He decided to hold an ordination ceremony for Zhang Yue. The ordination ceremony was held in the main hall of the Taoist temple, solemn and sacred. The old Taoist priest held a talisman and murmured incantations, and then gave the talisman to Zhang Yue. Zhang Yue took the talisman and felt a powerful force pouring into his body. He knew that from this moment on, he officially became an ordained Taoist priest.

Zhang Yue set off on his return journey with the power after ordination. When he returned to the village, the villagers were being attacked by evil spirits. The evil spirits were showing their teeth and claws, full of aggression. Zhang Yue rushed forward without hesitation, recited incantations, and brandished the talisman in his hand. The talisman emitted a dazzling light, and the evil spirits fled in all directions under the illumination of the light. Zhang Yue continued to perform spells and completely drove the evil spirits out of the village.

The village regained its former tranquility. The villagers cheered and were full of gratitude and respect for Zhang Yue. Looking at the smiling faces of the villagers, Zhang Yue was filled with joy and satisfaction. He knew that his efforts were not in vain. He used his actions to interpret the justice and compassion of Taoism.

Since then, Zhang Yue has become the guardian of the village. He continues to practice Taoist spells and uses his power to protect the safety of the villagers. He also passes on the Taoist knowledge he has learned to the villagers, so that they can also understand the wisdom and power of Taoism. Under his influence, the people in the village have become kinder, braver and more united. They work together to build their own homes and make this peaceful small village even more beautiful.

And Zhang Yue's story has also spread in the surrounding villages and towns. People have praised his courage and justice, and many people have also begun to be interested in Taoism. Zhang Yue's actions not only rescued a village but also made contributions to the spread and development of Taoism. With his life, he practices the concepts of Taoism and becomes a legendary existence.
