One day, Jia Dao went to visit the hermit in his heart with a guqin on his back and an expectation. He came to a quiet mountain forest, surrounded by towering old trees, which covered the sky. Sunlight penetrates through the cracks in the leaves and scatters mottled light and shadow.
Jia Dao searched for a hermit in the mountains. He walked on the winding mountain road with dense bamboo forests on both sides, swaying gently with the breeze. He heard the birds singing clearly and saw the jumping stream in the mountain stream. In the distance, the peaks covered with white clouds seem to be telling him something.
Jia Dao met a child who was collecting medicine. The child told Jia Dao that he had lived in this mountain forest for many years and had never seen a hermit. However, the child said that hermits sometimes appeared on the top of the ancient Matsushita Mountain.
Jia Dao was a little sorry, but he knew that the hermit's whereabouts were elusive. He looked at the top of the mountain and the lonely ancient pine trees, as if he saw the shadow of a hermit. He said to himself: You have left a deep mark on my heart, and I will continue to look for your trace.
Jia Dao held the guqin, full of expectation, and continued to look for his hermit in the mountains. His steps are firm and powerful, because he knows that even if he doesn't meet a hermit this time, he won't give up. Next time, he will come to this mountain forest again with hope, looking for the hermit he admires.
