Origin Story
传说中,一位得道高僧,修炼多年,终于掌握了呼风唤雨的神通。一日,村庄遭遇了百年不遇的旱灾,庄稼枯萎,百姓流离失所。高僧不忍见百姓受苦,便运用法力,在天空凝聚起巨大的云团,顷刻间,大雨倾盆而下,解救了受灾的村庄。从此,高僧被人们尊为守护神,他的故事一代代流传下来,告诫人们敬畏自然,珍视和平。
Legend has it that a highly accomplished monk, after years of cultivation, finally mastered the supernatural ability to summon wind and rain. One day, the village suffered from an unprecedented drought, crops withered, and people were displaced. The monk couldn't bear to see the people suffering, so he used his supernatural powers to gather huge clouds in the sky. In an instant, a torrential rain poured down, saving the disaster-stricken village. Since then, the monk has been revered as a guardian god, and his story has been passed down from generation to generation, reminding people to respect nature and cherish peace.
