It is said that in ancient times, there was an extraordinary man named Zhang Dao Ling. He traveled all over the world, mastered astronomy, geography, and esoteric arts, and deeply understood the true teachings of Taoism. One day, Zhang Dao Ling passed through a valley where dark clouds covered the sky and a chilling wind blew. The people suffered immensely. It turned out that this area was occupied by a thousand-year-old demon who had done much evil and turned it into a dead land. Zhang Dao Ling felt compassion and decided to eliminate the demon and save the people. He stood in the center of the valley, shouted to the sky, and a powerful energy emanated from him. The sky and earth changed color. In an instant, the dark clouds dispersed, the sun shone brightly, and the demon was so shocked by Zhang Dao Ling's magical power that it turned to dust. The people cheered and thanked Zhang Dao Ling for saving their lives. From then on, the valley bloomed again, and the people lived peacefully and happily. With his powerful magic, Zhang Dao Ling had reversed heaven and earth and saved the people from distress. His deeds were widely spread and told as a beautiful story.
