Li Changzai was a member of the Shu County. He studied Taoism at a young age and served him for generations. Counting his age, he was four or five hundred years old. But never see the old, always like a person in his forties and fifties. He often treated people, and the serious illness was cured in three days, and the light illness was cured in one day. He had two sons and a daughter, both of whom had married, and he ran away from home.
When he left, he took his disciples Zeng and Kong's two sons, both seventeen or eighteen years old. The Zeng and Kong families did not know where Li Changzai was going, so they sent the two children to Li Changzai. Li Chang handed over two green bamboo sticks to the two children and overtook them with bamboo sticks, so that they could go back to their own homes first. Put the green bamboo stick on your bed, and then quietly come back, don't tell the family.
The two children returned home with bamboo sticks as instructed. The family saw that the child had not left, and later found himself dead in his bed. The two families were very sad to bury the child. More than a hundred days later, Li Changzai's disciples met Li Changzai in Pi County and walked with the two dead children, and the two children and Chang Zai's disciples cried and talked for a long time, and each carried a letter to the family. The Kong and Zeng families opened the coffin and saw that there was only a green bamboo stick inside, which made them know that their son was not dead.
Thirty years later, Li Chang lived in the Lung Mountains and married another wife. His ex-wife's son went out to find Li Changzai. Ten days before his son came, he said to his wife, "My son is coming to me, and I have to go out and hide." When he comes, give him this golden cake. ”
When the son arrived, he asked the stepmother where his father had gone, and the stepmother gave him the golden cake. The son said: "My father left me and ran away for decades. I missed him day and night, and when I heard that he was here, I traveled thousands of miles to visit him, not to ask him for money. So I stayed.
After a month, before Li Changzai returned, his son lied to his harem and said, "If my father does not come back, I will go back." After the son went out and hid in the grass, Li Chang said to his wife when he came back: "My son lied to you, he did not leave, he will come back." When he came back, you told him that you were an adult and didn't need me to raise and take care of you, and that I was concentrating on practicing Taoism and would never see him again. ”
Li Chang went after confessing to his rear wife. After a while, the son did return again, and his wife relayed Li Changzai's words to him. The son knew that he would never see his father again, so he cried and left. More than seventy years later, Li Changzai ran away from home again. His disciples saw him living under Hushou Mountain and married him again. The local father and son have seen him for generations and always do not grow old. So call him Li Changzai.
