In the bustling mortal world, there is a prominent family, and Wang Wu is the wealthy scion of this family. He was born into luxury and was surrounded by all kinds of extravagant items since childhood. The family's mansion is magnificent, with carved beams and painted pillars. In the courtyard, rare flowers and exotic plants compete in beauty. Servants shuttle back and forth, ready to meet his various needs at any time.
However, Wang Wu has no interest in all this wealth. In his eyes, those gold, silver, jewels, and silk brocades are just passing clouds, unable to bring him true satisfaction and happiness. He often sits alone in a corner of the garden, looking at the clouds in the sky and thinking about the meaning of life. He feels that although his life is rich, it is extremely empty, as if something important is missing.
By chance, Wang Wu came into contact with Taoist thought. He read a book about Taoist philosophy. The words in the book were like a clear spring, flowing into his heart and making him feel an unprecedented tranquility and profundity. The concepts advocated by Taoism, such as following nature, governing by non-action, and pursuing inner peace, deeply attracted him. It was as if he had found what he had been looking for all along, and a strong desire for Taoist truth ignited in his heart.
From then on, Wang Wu began to deeply study Taoist thought. He visited many Taoist scholars and practitioners and asked them about the mysteries of Taoism. In this process, he gradually understood the profoundness and vastness of Taoist thought. He understood that Dao is the root of all things in the universe, an existence beyond human understanding. Only through cultivation and perception can one approach the realm of Dao and obtain true freedom and happiness.
When Wang Wu heard the legend of Taoist ordination, a strong impulse surged in his heart. He knew that ordination is the key to reaching a higher cultivation realm and an important step in realizing his pursuit of Taoist truth. So, he resolutely abandoned his luxurious life, left his comfortable home, and threw himself into the pursuit of cultivation.
Wang Wu's decision aroused strong opposition from his family. His parents and relatives could not understand his behavior and thought he was ruining his future. They tried to persuade him to give up this crazy idea, but Wang Wu firmly refused. He told them that he had found the true meaning of life and would never turn back.
After leaving home, Wang Wu embarked on a difficult path of cultivation. He came to a remote mountain and found a highly respected Taoist priest and asked him to take him as a disciple. The Taoist priest looked at this young wealthy scion in front of him, filled with doubts. He didn't understand why a person living in wealth would suddenly want to pursue cultivation. But the firmness and sincerity in Wang Wu's eyes made the Taoist priest feel his determination.
The Taoist priest decided to give Wang Wu a chance and let him stay in the mountain and follow him in cultivation. Wang Wu was ecstatic. He knew that his journey of seeking Dao had finally begun.
In the mountain, Wang Wu lived a hard life. He got up early every morning and followed the Taoist priest for cultivation. They meditated, contemplated, and recited scriptures together, feeling the breath of nature and comprehending the wisdom of Taoism. Wang Wu was not afraid of hardships. He earnestly completed every cultivation task and tried hard to improve his realm.
However, the path of cultivation is not smooth sailing. Wang Wu encountered many difficulties and challenges. Sometimes, he would encounter bottlenecks in cultivation and be unable to break through his own realm; sometimes, he would be disturbed by the outside world and have distracting thoughts in his heart. But Wang Wu never gave up. He firmly believed that as long as he persevered, he would definitely be able to overcome difficulties and achieve his goal.
After years of hard work and tests, Wang Wu finally obtained ordination. When he took the talisman in the Taoist priest's hand, his heart was filled with joy and emotion. He knew that this was the result of his years of efforts and also the beginning of his step into a higher cultivation realm.
After ordination, Wang Wu did not stop. He decided to travel around, spread Taoist thought, and help those who were lost find the direction of life. He walked through many places and met all kinds of people. Some people were full of curiosity about his Taoist thought and asked him questions; some people were dismissive of him and thought he was talking nonsense. But Wang Wu was never discouraged. He always patiently answered everyone's questions and influenced them with his words and deeds.
In a small town, Wang Wu met a young scholar. This scholar was extremely talented, but he was disheartened and lost confidence in life because he had failed the imperial examinations many times. Wang Wu saw the scholar's confusion and pain and talked to him. He told the scholar about Taoist thought and told him that the meaning of life does not lie in fame and fortune but in inner peace and satisfaction. The scholar was deeply inspired by Wang Wu's words. He began to reexamine his life, let go of the pursuit of fame and fortune, and instead pursued inner peace and happiness.
In another village, Wang Wu met an old farmer. This farmer had worked hard all his life, but he fell into despair because of his family's poverty and illness. Wang Wu comforted the farmer and told him the concept of following nature and facing life optimistically advocated by Taoism. After listening to Wang Wu's words, the haze in the farmer's heart gradually dissipated. He began to face life actively and tried to improve his family's situation.
As time passed, Wang Wu's reputation grew greater and greater. His Taoist thought influenced more and more people and helped them find the direction of life. People respectfully called him "Taoist Wang Wu" and were full of respect and gratitude for him.
However, Wang Wu was not confused by fame and fortune. He always maintained a humble heart and continued to spread Taoist thought and help more people. He knew that his mission was not yet completed and there were still many people who needed his help.
Under the influence of Wang Wu, more and more people began to pay attention to Taoist thought and pursue inner peace and happiness. They were no longer bound by fame and fortune but learned to follow nature and enjoy the beauty of life. Wang Wu's journey of seeking Dao not only changed his own life but also brought a glimmer of warmth and hope to this world.
