Chinese Traditional Story: Human Thinking Caused a Disaster

This story took place during the Tang Dynasty. Minister Li Jing lived in the mountains. One day when he was hunting, he saw a herd of deer, and so he began chasing after them. He did not catch up to them until dusk, but he had gone too far and became lost. Just as he was wondering where he could sleep that night, in the far distance, he saw a light! He dug his spurs into his horse and hurried in the direction of the light.
