In the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Xu Feng, a young man from Liuyunguan, held half a bowl of sour porridge and looked at the plaque "Ji Shi" with a heart full of powerlessness - he couldn't even fill his stomach, so how could he save someone from starvation?
It wasn't until he followed his master Xuanjizi down the mountain and saw the Yuan army slaughtering the village and the refugees dying tragically, and the old woman stuffing her with bloody wheat cakes before she died, that he finally realized: Taoism is the sword and boat that protects the people. From then on, he exposed spies, broke evil spirits, helped Zhu Yuanzhang's rebel army fight against the Yuan Dynasty, and formed a pact with the medical girl Su Wan to "guard the country together".
In the early Ming Dynasty, Xu Feng became the prefect of Suzhou under a pseudonym. He used the medical competition to solve the fake medicine scam, used the martial arts competition to gather forces to fight against the Japanese, and even led the people to defeat the Japanese pirates. Even though he was suspected and framed, he still reduced taxes, controlled floods, and established schools. The people wanted to build a shrine, but he changed it into a medicine store to benefit the people. It's just that Su Wan died of the epidemic while trying to recover the island, and the phrase "the righteousness of family and country" became his lifelong obsession.
During the Xuande period, the Wala invaded, and Xu Feng summoned seven senior brothers to join forces: selecting soldiers, changing weapons, breaking down negotiations and rumors, and finally retreating the enemy and putting down the rebellion. Before Xuanjizi passed away, he handed him the "Cloud Protecting the People Sword" and asked him to inherit his original intention of protecting the people.
In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Xu Feng, who was nearly eighty years old, adopted the orphan Yunliu and taught him how to protect the people. When the remnants of Wala's troops raided Qingliu Village, he drew his sword and formed an array to protect the village. He died to save Yunliu, and his soul merged into the sword body and Lao Huai.
A few years later, Yun Liu holds the "Yun Protects the Common Sword" to guard Liu Yun Temple, and the light cloud pattern will still flicker when the people are in trouble. How many people has this sword protected? Who will continue to write the mission in the future? The answer lies in the original heart passed down from generation to generation.
