Event Content:
In the Miaoxuan Taoist Temple in Dexing County, there is a legendary mad Taoist named Wan Zhichen.
There is a Dan Well in the place where he cultivated, but it was not an ordinary well, but the Dan Well where Ge Hong refined Dan during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Purple smoke came out of the well, which frightened people and thought it was poisonous gas. So, in order to solve everyone's troubles, Wan Zhichen resolutely went down to the bottom of the well and found a dansha. He swallowed the dansha without hesitation, and then, the mysterious purple smoke disappeared, and the well returned to calm.
But what happened next was even more bizarre. Wan Zhichen, the man who was called the "Crazy Daoist" because of his swallowing of dansha, suddenly disappeared. It was not an ordinary disappearance, but when the river near the Taoist temple swelled, he actually stood on a giant log, floated away, and disappeared from people's sight along with the wood.
Years later, his brother met him by chance in Wuwei Prefecture, only to find that his sanity was no longer clear, but he was still alive. Wan Zhichen was reluctant to go home, leaving only a cloth bag, indicating that there would be a famine in his hometown.
This cloth bag is actually filled with maltose. The brother of the mysterious mad Taoist priest mistook it for a priceless treasure and angrily shook the sugar into the river. However, when he returned home to tell his mother, he found that the sugar that had been shaken off had turned into yellow and clear gold nuggets. This is reminiscent of the old saying: "Share the blessings and share the difficulties." This is just a small part of a series of mystical experiences for Wan Zhichen.
After leaving Miaoxuanguan, Wan Zhichen still had many miracles. He actually cured an old Taoist priest with an eye disease, which amazed people. The poems he left behind express his love for the wandering life and his views on the troubles of the world, making people even more fascinated by his indisputable realm.
Wan Zhichen never returned to Miaoxuanguan, but he became a resident immortal. The legend of his Taojing becoming immortal and giving saccharified gold has been passed down to this day, and has been recorded in local chronicles and "Jiangxi Tongzhi" and "Ancient and Modern Book Collection". This crazy Taoist priest not only left a mysterious legend to people, but also created a miracle in this ordinary monastic process.
