In the 1920s and 1930s, Liu Xiang of Sichuan defeated various warlords of all walks of life in the province and invited a Taoist "immortal" Liu Congyun. After he himself entered the Dao, his officers also worshiped the "gods" as their teachers, and Liu Xiang "ruled the army with gods" and used gods to maintain the hearts of the generals and the hearts of the army.
This "immortal" made a mysterious mouth, but in fact, he inquired about the news around, giving people the feeling of knowing five hundred years ago and knowing three hundred years later. Liu Xiang asked him several times about the situation in Sichuan, and "Liu Shenxian" was like a god. Liu Xiang was confused by him, and he was unusually respectful of him, obedient to his words, and relied on him like his left and right hands. This Daoist priest was boasted as "Zhuge Liang, the former imperial military division, Liu Bowen, the later dynasty military division, and Liu Congyun, the former imperial military division."
Liu Congyun
Under Liu Xiang's command, there was a Fan Master, commonly known as "Fan Ha'er", who also met a "god". Fan Shaozeng was born in a green forest, and even talked about the righteousness of the rivers and lakes. He has a wide range of hobbies, and he can play tennis and football. After the 1949 uprising, he was also appointed deputy director of the Henan Sports Committee. Fan Shaozeng built a residential building in Chongqing, "Fan Zhuang", which has tennis courts, swimming pools, and various facilities, and lives here without any problems.
Liu Xiang
After the completion of "Fan Zhuang", one winter, Fan Zhuang's guards found that on the boundary monument of the right boundary wall, there was a white-haired old Dao of the Xianfeng Dao bone, meditating cross-legged, closing his eyes and recuperating, and sitting there for several days. One day, it suddenly rained heavily, and the water flowed all over the place. After the rain, the day was sunny again. Several guards said that the old Dao must have been drizzled into a soup chicken, and when they looked closer, the Daoist was gone, only to see that the boundary monument had left a mark of an ass sitting. Puzzlingly, the surrounding seat stones are all wet, and only the place where the ass sits is dry! The guards began to talk, some saying "This man has a name", some saying "It is a god", some saying "Don't believe in those evil demons"... I don't know what kind of eyes this Daoist has in the future.
Fan Shaozeng Mansion
A few days later, I saw the old Dao carrying a cloth bag, necklace prayer beads, holding a Dao shovel, and turned to the vicinity of Fan Zhuang again, but in the blink of an eye, I didn't know where to go. It wasn't until the afternoon that the guards noticed that on the bare hill opposite Fan Zhuang, Lao Dao was sitting cross-legged. When the guards saw Lao Dao sitting in the cold wind, they all said that Lao Dao was a man with a problem, and if it rained, he would not be drenched, but would freeze him to death. By the next morning, the guards wanted to see what the old way was, strange! The old way was gone, only to see that in the place where he was meditating, a clump of green reeds had sprung up overnight! The guards rushed over to see that it was both reed and water bamboo, and they couldn't say what plants were, and everyone couldn't help but marvel.
Young Fan Shaozeng
Two days later, the old man appeared again, only to see him with a cigarette in his mouth, and went to the front of the mansion to ask the guards for a cigarette. The guards were deliberately embarrassed, could not smoke, and had no fire on them. Lao Dao did not mind, took off the cigarette with his hand, sandwiched between the middle finger and the index finger, walked to the gate, put the cigarette pestle on the eyes of the door god, moved his fingers a few times, and the cigarette actually spontaneously combusted and smoked! The guards were stunned at the sight. When he came back to God, Lao Dao smoked a cigarette and went to take care of himself.
This can sensationalize Fan Zhuang. When Fan Shaozeng heard about it, he was very dismissive and said: "There is such a thing!" After several guards repeatedly saw it with their own eyes, Fan Shaozeng said suspiciously: If you insist that it is true, I will test him. Go and tell the old man that if I ask him to come to see me whenever he wants, if he can come to see me when he comes, I will believe it when he says it. The aide-de-camp of the cronies took the order and left.
One day, Fan Shaozeng went out to the Laojun Mountain Sanqing Temple across the river to socialize. Fan Shaozeng's car was in front, followed by a large truck with security guards. Fan Shaozeng glimpsed from the car window, sitting on the boundary monument, a white-haired old Man, nodded with his hand, and the adjutant said: It's him!
After the car crossed the river by boat, it came ashore, and because there was no road on the steep mountain, Fan Shaozeng took a sliding pole up the mountain, surrounded by guards, and was carried up the mountain step by step. Unexpectedly, I just turned the mountain, and at a glance, I saw the old road sitting on the hillside that I had just seen on the edge of Fan Zhuang, with my hands and ten, closing my eyes and recuperating. Fan Shaozeng was also stunned, thinking, Can't my car still run on his two legs?
In the afternoon, when Fan Shaozeng went back to cross the river, he saw Lao Dao taking a bath in the river shirtless, and some people surrounded the shore to see the strangeness. Strange, in the winter, in addition to the corpse scavengers and treasure hunters who are rewarded with heavy money, who will go into the water? After a while in the water, people will go ashore to drink a few sips of wine and roast the fire. The old man's mouth is not black, and his body is not shaking, just like in summer. The car reached the other side, and the old road was still soaking in the water!
After Fan Shaozeng returned to Fan Zhuang, he immediately asked someone to pick out 4 German wolfhounds raised in the mansion first, so that he was ready, and tomorrow he would invite Lao Dao to see how Lao Dao coped.
The next day, the adjutant came to the boundary monument and respectfully asked the old man, saying that the division commander had pleased. Lao Dao opened his eyes, smiled and said, "Poor Dao is a man of the mountains and wilderness, how dare he work hard." He followed the adjutant into Fan Zhuang, just arrived at the tennis court, 4 wolfhounds roared and pounced straight over, not wanting the old way not to be in a hurry, quite contemptuously "hummed" a sound, and swept the dust in his hand at the dog. Strangely, those 4 wolfhounds actually turned around and ran back! Fan Shaozeng was in the living room, he could see clearly and was convinced in his heart. Walk out of the house and greet the old man with a smile on his face.
The guest of honor sat down, and after the greeting, Fan Shaozeng inquired about the history of the old way. The old Dao claimed to be from the Nanhai Pushan Ancestral Master Temple, a 16-year-old monk, and worshiped a certain high person as a teacher. His master's taoism is profound, he looks at the sky at night, sees the Big Dipper committing the jade well, and knows that there will be a military disaster in the world. In order to save sentient beings, his teacher ordered him to travel the world and make good friends.
The old Dao said: Poor Dao saw your mansion coming and going, going to the veins, there was a Ming Hall in front, a long obstacle in the back, and a sand guard on the left and right, all of which were in a good state. At night, there are even more shining purple stars, knowing that its master will be the best of good, and today's friendship is also the number of days. Fan Shaozeng listened to the joy in his heart. He thought that his superior, Liu Xiang, had a "immortal" military master, and I could also use this old-fashioned mana to expand my power, so he asked: You say that the fate is changed, how can this fate be concluded?
The old Dao answered: The poor Dao obeys the master's orders, one does not change money, the other does not make rice, only seeks the good people to take the lead, according to the December of the year as the scripture, the twelve o'clock of the day as the latitude, with the longitude and latitude to form a network of goodness, called the life-saving network, can save a large number of living beings, build immeasurable merit. Fan Shaozeng said: You tell the truth, what do you really want to do?
The old Tao said: My teacher teaches the Fa, based on gold, build a furnace to refine jindan, dissolve water in Dancheng, and drink it, so that disasters and refuge can be eliminated, and all diseases will not be invaded, and wisdom and courage will be increased. Fan Shaozeng asked: What is this Dan's alchemy? The old Dao said: Ask the master to take over the head, invite the good people twelve, each person lends 120 taels of gold, and then ask the master to build a seven-star altar behind the courtyard of the mansion, set up a seven-star flag, enshrine the tablet of the Taishang Laojun, place a long-necked crock pot in Taichung, put the gold in the crock pot, and freely and poorly go to the altar every day, and it only takes seven days and forty-nine days for Jindan to be refined. At that time, the gold was about to be returned, and Jin Dan was given alms to the master. The poor way also obeyed the master's orders, but there was a merit.
Fan Shaozeng did everything. In the first few days, his heart was not steady, and Fan Shaozeng instructed his close aide-de-camp to guard day and night. The old dao every day ghost draws peach charms, a serious book, a long time, the guards have also relaxed. Only one day, when the old road was taking advantage of their slackness, went out in the morning and had not returned in the afternoon, the guards were a little anxious, and immediately went to check the jar, and when they saw that the gold had not moved, they put their minds at ease.
In the evening, the old road returned. The guards asked him, and he said that today was the 36th day, and he had to thank the 36 heavens, so he went to Laojun Mountain on the south bank. When the old man said this, the guards were convinced. In the days that followed, the old Dao continued to chant the sutra and refine The guards were relieved. Commander Fan was busy with official duties, and when he was not at home, the guards drank and pushed the gown. Unexpectedly, on the afternoon of the 48th day, when the guards were drinking hot and were confused, Lao Dao rolled up all the gold and slipped away through the back door. When the guards realized, the old road was already like a yellow crane.
Fan Shaoga was taken aback, and in a fit of rage, he slapped his close aide-de-camp several times. This lieutenant is a relative, and he is not good. Just sighed and said: Ge Laozi, this man has eaten on my head, forget it, I will talk about it later!

When Fan Shaozeng participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Honghu Revolutionary Base Area in 1932, he was defeated by He Long's troops at Xinjiezui. Fan Shaozeng escaped on a buffalo, and all sides were aggressive. He was stripped of his military power and only had to go to Shanghai to "play for a few days." Unexpectedly, the above story was inadvertently concluded.
Fan Shaozeng's close aide-de-camp, with an entourage, went shopping and ran into a man in a suit and leather shoes, 40 miles away, with a very familiar face, who was flirting with a woman. The lieutenant was shocked: Shouldn't it be... Afraid of admitting mistakes, he turned back to catch up and saw clearly that the man's right ear was missing a piece, which was a special mark, and he would not make a mistake. He stepped forward and patted the man on the shoulder, and said in the jianghu dialect: Master, where are you going? Then he drew his pistol and pointed it at him and said, "Go, our division commander has please."
This man was the "old way" who deceived Master Fan and caused the lieutenant to be slapped several times.
After the "old dao" was escorted back, Fan Shaozeng personally interrogated him. When Fan Shaozeng heard that this person was Du Yuesheng's "demolition party" (fraud gang), he no longer pursued him for repaying the gold, but instead asked him to explain what the series of hands and feet did that year. The man was relieved, and only then did he honestly make the following statement:
After I arrived in Sichuan, I heard that Master Fan was generous and angry, so he took the division commander as the object, thinking that if the deception was exposed, the division commander would also see that brother robes and the Green Gang were melons on a vine, and would let me go. In fact, my hands are very simple.
Elderly Fan Shaozeng
The first time I sat on the stone seat of the boundary monument, after the heavy rain, I just used a dry towel to dry the place where I sat, and then painted it with paraffin wax, so the piece was dry.
The second time, the reeds were a kind of reeds called "one-day life" that we "demolished the white party" people brought back from Africa. This kind of grass, the more fertilized it is, the faster it grows, and you see a string of rosary beads that I wear around my neck, which is a reed seed mixed with fertilizer.
The third time I lit a cigarette, it was just a little magic. I also took this opportunity to test whether the first two deceptions were effective, and when they did not give fire, I showed my hand again, deliberately extending the cigarette into the eyes of the door god, and the smoke burned. What can a grid be? My cigarette was stuffed with phosphorus and sulfur, and it only took a few pinches of my fingers to make the phosphorus and sulfur rub together and it would catch fire.
The fourth time, I heard that the division commander was going to take a car to Laojun Mountain on the south bank, and seized this opportunity to play a set of tricks for the division commander to see for himself. I found an accomplice to dress up as me and told him to sit on a stone seat first, and I myself went to Laojun Mountain early in the morning to sit down, and when the master believed that I had the Dao Fa, I could do it.
I took a bath in the water in the winter, but I ate a little arsenic, and after eating it, I was full of heat and was not afraid of the cold at all. When the division commander called me to go to the mansion, I was very happy in my heart, thinking that I could achieve my goal. I have long heard that there are wolfhounds in the division commander's mansion, and you must be fully prepared to meet the division commander. So I went into the mansion, and sure enough, 4 wolfhounds pounced on me, and I dusted it with the prepared dust, and the wolfhound turned his head and ran. It turns out that the tiger is the nemesis of the dog, and the fiercest dog, as long as he hears the tiger barking, or smells the tiger's smell, will be frightened and run away. The dust handle I used that day was filled with tiger bone powder, and controlled by a spring, when I dusted the dust, press the spring, the tiger bone powder sprayed out, the smell was old and strong, the 4 dogs smelled the tiger bone smell, scared to turn back and run.
Fan Shaozeng listened and exclaimed, "You are so powerful!" After pausing for a while, he laughed and said: Spend money to buy insights, do not complain or complain. After saying that, he waved his hand and asked someone to let him go.
