Zhang Daoling tried Zhao Sheng seven times

Cheng Xian got the Tao, and the sun soared. It has always been the highest state pursued and aspired to by Taoists. But the Immortal Road is difficult to find, the Immortal Road is difficult to climb, in the end, and see what Zhao Sheng has experienced.

According to legend, from the beginning of chaos, three religions were handed down, Taishang Laojun established Taoism, Shakyamuni established Buddhism, and Confucius established Confucianism. In Confucianism, there are sages, in Buddhism there are bodhisattvas, and in Taoism there are gods. Among the three religions, Confucianism is too ordinary, Buddhism is too pure and bitter, only Taoism, learning is not old, changeable, and the most free.

As we all know, the Dragon Tiger Mountain Zhang Tianshi has a pivotal position in Taoism, and the ancestor of the Heavenly Master, Zhang Daoling, is the eighth grandson of Zhang Zifang. Emperor Jianwu of Hanguang was born in the tenth year. His mother dreamed that the seventh star of the Big Dipper fell from the sky and transformed into a person, tall and tall, holding a elixir in her hand, the size of an egg, and the aroma was striking. After his mother ate it, she woke up feeling hot and fragrant, and she became pregnant for a long time. Pregnant in October, suddenly in the middle of the night the house was as bright as day, so she gave birth to Daoling. At the age of seven, he was able to interpret the Tao Te Ching and the Book of Hetuluo, all of which he knew. Sixteen years old, expo five classics, nine feet two inches tall, pang eyebrows wide jaw, Zhu Xiang green eyes, long zhun Fang Yi, fu rhinoceros through the top, hanging hands over the knees, dragon squatting tiger steps, looking at it is daunting. Behave well and squarely, and enter taixue. One day, he sighed and said: Time is like an arrow, a hundred years pass in an instant, even if it is a very popular subject, what is the benefit of changing the fate of the elderly. So he concentrated on cultivation and wanted the art of immortality. One of his classmates, Wang Chang, listened to Daoling's words and deeply believed it, so he worshiped Zhang Daoling as a teacher and was willing to follow him to the famous mountains to visit the Dao and seek truth.

Walking to Yuzhang County, I met a boy in embroidered clothes. Ask them: Where will the two of them go when the twilight is far away? Zhang Daoling knew that he was not an ordinary person, so he told Qiu Xian what he meant to visit the Dao. The boy said: When the people of the world talk about the Tao, they are all catching wind and catching shadows, and they must obtain the "Yellow Emperor's Nine Ding Dan Law" before they can achieve achievements in cultivation and can they ascend to heaven. The two masters and apprentices asked the boy for instructions. The boy dictated two sentences: left dragon and right tiger, among which there is Tianfu. Say it and go. Zhang Daoling remembered these two sentences, but he did not know what they meant. The two of them walked to the Dragon and Tiger Mountain, unconsciously moved, and said to Wang Chang: Left Dragon And Right Tiger, it is not here, maybe there is a secret art hidden here. So I climbed to the top of the mountain and saw a stone cave called Bilu Cave. The cave will be bright and dark, and the road will be curved. At the end, there were two stone doors. DaoLing thought to himself: This must be the Immortal Cave House. So he sat outside the stone gate with his disciple Wang Changduan.

After waiting for seven days, the stone door opened, and there were stone tables and stone benches. There was only one volume of scriptures on the table, but when I opened it, it was the Yellow Emperor Jiuding Taiqing Danjing. The master and apprentice are full of joy. Holding the Danjing, watching day and night, I slowly learned the method of alchemy. However, the drugs used in cultivation and the fire cost a lot, and there was no financial resource. Zhang Daoling had learned to cure the disease of fu shui earlier, and heard that the customs in Shu were mellow, so he and Wang Chang entered Shu and lived in the Heming Mountains, calling themselves real people and using special charm water to save people from diseases. It is very enlightening, more and more people come to see the sick, and many people worship the teacher and learn his method of water.

Seeing that the people were very convinced of him, they made a door rule, and there was a pool in front of the mountain gate where he lived, and anyone who had a disease and came to seek medicine must tell the bad things he had done in his life, and there could be no concealment. The real man wrote a confession for him, threw it into the pool, and swore an oath with the gods that he would never do it again, and if he did it again, he would die immediately. After the oath is completed, only drink the spell water. After recovering from the illness, five buckets of rice are used as a thank you gift. His disciples went everywhere to cast spells to save people, and all the possessions they obtained were to be used by the gods, and they did not dare to use them privately at all. Therefore, the local people who were suffering from minor diseases thought that the gods condemned them and came to change them. After recovering from the disease, they all changed their previous wrongs and did not dare to do evil for wrongdoing.

After a few years, he obtained a lot of money, which was used to buy medicines, and lived in the secret room with Wang Chang to cultivate the Dragon Tiger Great Dan together. After three years of refining into a divine elixir, take it. The real person was already sixty years old at the time, and since taking ammunition, his appearance had become younger, as if he were in his thirties. Since then, he has been able to split the shadows, often taking small boats and playing in the creeks on the east and west sides. There was also a real person in the hall, who kept chanting the True Scriptures. If there is a guest visiting, greeting the send-off, or drinking, or playing chess, there is a real person, can not distinguish between true and false, then know that this is the immortal second technique.

There is a Taoist monk who says: There is a white tiger god in Xicheng, who is good at drinking human blood, and every year people in the surrounding villages will definitely send a person to worship. The real people could not bear it in their hearts, and when they reached the date of the sacrifice, they personally went to the West City, and sure enough, they saw the common people tied up a person, beating gongs and drums in front of them, and sending people to the White Tiger Temple. The real people asked them why they did this, and what they said was the same as what the Taoist priest said. If there is no sacrifice for a year, there will be a great storm, destroying crops and affecting six animals, so the people around them are very afraid. Every year, a person is bought with a lot of money and tied to the temple naked. In the middle of the night, let the gods enjoy it. It has become the norm, and the government cannot prohibit it. Zhang Daoling said: Put this sacrificial person back and replace it with me. The villagers said: Because this man was poor in his family, he was willing to sacrifice himself, and he got us fifty thousand dollars, buried his father, married his sister, and the money was spent. It is his duty to die today, so why should you hurt yourself? The real person said: I do not believe in shinto cannibalism, and if there is such a thing, I will voluntarily bear it and die without complaint. Only then did the people listen to the words of the real man and let go of the bounds. And the real person said: I will go voluntarily, and I will never run away, and I will not be bound. The people agreed and sent him to the temple. But see, the smoke is swirling, the lamps are brilliant, and the puppet idols are enshrined, and the foxes are terrible. There were many offerings on the offering table, and after prostrating themselves, they locked the real person in the temple and left.

The real person sat and waited. In the middle of the night, a fierce wind suddenly blew up, and the White Tiger God arrived. As soon as he saw the real person, he rushed over. Only to see that the real person, ears, eyes, and nose all emitted red light, fixing the White Tiger God, this was the power of the elixir. The White Tiger God was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Who are you?" The real person said: On the orders of the Heavenly Emperor, I will take charge of the gods of the four seas and five mountains, and let me fractalize and investigate. Who are you, who dares to mutilate living beings here, and whose sins are so great that they will eventually be punished by heaven? The White Tiger God just wanted to defend, only to see that there was a real person on the left and right, and the red light was all over his body, frightening the White Tiger God's eyes could not be opened, and he prostrated his head and begged for his life. The White Tiger was originally the Golden God, and since Wuding opened the Road and chiseled through the Shu Mountain, the golden qi leaked out and changed into a White Tiger. Whenever there is, there is a disaster. The locals built temples and promised to worship every year to achieve peace. True people cultivate Jindan, raise true fire, and Jin is afraid of fire and is naturally subdued. Make a vow with the real person at the moment that he will not harm living beings again. The next morning, the villagers came to the temple, saw the real man sitting in the middle, unscathed, and asked the reason in horror. The real man informed them of last night's events and said that the White Tiger would not come out again. Only then did the villagers know that the real person was Zhang Daoling of Heming Mountain. After saying that, the villagers built three other temples at the White Tiger Temple to enshrine the portrait of Zhang Zhenren, and since then the use of human sacrifices has been cut off here.

At that time, in the Qingshi Mountain of Guanghan, there was a big snake endangering the human world. Spit out poison during the day, and passers-by will die if they are poisoned. The real man went to destroy the poisonous snake again. Only the people in the mountains dare to walk during the day. In the first year of the Shun Emperor Han'an, on the night of the fifteenth day of the first month, Zhenren was sitting alone in the Heming Mountain Elite House, when he suddenly heard the sound of heavenly music faintly coming from the east, and Luan Slowly approached. The real person walked out of the room to look out, and suddenly saw a purple cloud floating from the east, and there was a vegetarian car in the cloud, which slowly came down. Sitting in the car, this god man looks like ice jade, and the god shines on people, and cannot be looked at directly. In front of the car stood a man, the same boy who had been instructing Mizu in Yuzhang County last time. The boy said to the real man, "You hugh have to worry, this is the taishang laojun." Real people rush to pray. Lao Jun said: In recent days, there have been a number of ghosts and demon kings in Shu, which have brought calamity to the world. You can subdue them for me, for the benefit of living beings, and it is also your immeasurable merit, and after the fact, you can also be ranked in the Immortal Class. So he was given the Secret Record of Zhengyi Mengwei, nine hundred and thirty volumes of the Sanqing Scriptures, seventy-two volumes of the Secret Recipe of Fu Zhen Dan Medicine, two male and female swords, and one Gong Seal. He also instructed: Make an appointment with you for a day, and after a thousand days, meet in Langyuan. The real man prostrated himself and led the way, and the old man ascended into the clouds and left. From then on, the real person understood the secret text every day and practiced according to the method. I heard that there are eight ghost marshals in Yizhou, each leading ghost soldiers, and there are hundreds of millions of them, running rampant in the world, killing all people violently, and killing countless people. On lao jun's orders, Zhenren took the "Secret Record of Mengwei" to Mount Qingcheng and purchased a glass high seat. On the left side is enshrined the DaoYuan Shi Tianzun, and on the right side are placed these thirty-six true scriptures, and next to them stands the Spiritual Banner Dharma Seat, ringing the bell and knocking on the rock, and laying down the Dragon and Tiger Divine Soldiers, hoping to capture the ghost handsome. The ghost marshal then drove the ghost soldiers, carrying ice blades and arrows, to harm the lives of real people. The real man put up a finger of his left hand and turned it into a large lotus flower, and the thousand leaves were sparse, and the weapons and arrows could not be slashed. The ghost soldiers held more than a thousand torches and wanted to burn the real people to death. The real man flicked his sleeve, and the fire burned the ghost soldiers. The ghost marshal said to the real person from afar: You live in the Crane Ming Mountain, why did you come to occupy our territory? The real man said, "You have maimed the living beings, and your sins are heinous." I have come to fight you on the orders of the Lord Taishang. If you are convicted of your sins, and take refuge in the barren lands of the West, and do not do any more evil to the world, you will be spared. If you are still bent on going your own way, immediately destroy you and leave no one.

The ghost marshal was not convinced, and the next day, together with the six demon kings, led millions of ghost soldiers to attack the real people. The real people wanted to subdue them from the bottom of their hearts, so they said to them: Let's test the mana to judge the victory or defeat. The Six Demon Kings agreed. The real person asked the king to light the fire, the fire was very fierce, the real person stood in the fire, and suddenly a green lotus flower grew out of the fire, holding the feet of the real person and flying out. The six demon kings laughed and said that there was no difficulty, separated the fire with their hands, and jumped into the fire. The two demon kings who jumped down first, their eyebrows and beards were all burned, and they ran back in pain. The remaining four demon kings did not dare to move. The real person threw himself into the water again and flew out on the yellow dragon, and his clothes were not wet. The Six Demon Kings laughed again, jumped into the water with a thud, rolled around in the water a few times, hurriedly climbed out, and drank a stomach full of water. The real man threw himself into the stone, and the stone suddenly collapsed. The Six Demon Kings thought that with their own strength, the mountains could pass through, let alone the stones. So he stood up on his shoulders and crashed into the stone. The real man recited the incantation again, and the six demon kings were half trapped in the stone, unable to extricate themselves, wailing. At this time, the eight ghost marshals were furious, and transformed into eight white-fronted tigers with hanging eyes, opening their teeth and dancing claws, to catch the real person. The real man transforms into a lion and drives the tiger away. The ghost marshal once again turned into eight dragons and wanted to capture the lion. The real man turned into a roc gold-winged bird again, opening its giant beak to peck the dragon's eyes. The ghost marshal turned into a five-colored cloud again, and the sky was dark. The real person changed into a red sun, rising above the nine heavens, shining brightly, and the clouds dissipated. The ghost handsome donkey's skills were exhausted, and the real man picked up a stone and threw it into the air, turning into a boulder in a moment, like a hill. Tied with a thread, as thin as a lotus silk, it hung above the ghost camp. There were two rats on the stone, scrambling to nibble at the thread, precarious, and soon the stone was about to fall. The Demon King and the Ghost Commander saw it from a high place again, worried about the extermination of the Ghost Ghost Sun, so they complained together: they were willing to go to the Western Kingdom of Luo to live, and they did not dare to invade Middle-earth again. Zhenren ordered the six demon kings to return to the capital, and the eight ghost marshals to go to the Western Regions. At that time, the demon king escaped from the stone and joined forces with the ghost marshal, refusing to go. The real person knew that the ghost soldier would not give up, so he mouthed the rune and flew up into the sky. Between the whiskers, I saw only the wind beckoning, the rain of the rain, the thunder of the Thunder Gongxing, the lightning of the electric mother, the divine soldiers of the Heavenly General, the sharp blades in their hands, gathered together, and killed the ghost soldiers in the form of a shadow, and the real people received the mana and said to the chief Wang: The Shu people can sleep peacefully from now on. Then he said to the king, "The day of my ascension is coming, and the Bilu Cave is the place where I have attained enlightenment, and I must not forget my roots." So he returned to Yuzhang and settled down in the Dragon and Tiger Mountains, where he learned and apprenticed and practiced seriously.

Suddenly, one day, I heard luan driving Tianle's voice again, which was the same as what I had heard in Heming Mountain. The real man hurriedly got up and prostrated himself on the steps. I saw thousands of troops and horses, surrounded by Lao Jun's arrival. Lao Jun sent an emissary to Zhang Daoling and said: Your meritorious deeds should have obtained the status of the Nine True Immortals, I originally sent you into Shu to separate people and ghosts, you killed too many ghosts, and you stirred up the wind and rain without authorization, and you served the ghosts and gods, and you were too angry, didn't you know that the Dao dao had the virtue of a good life. The Emperor of Heaven wants to hold you accountable for your mistakes, so I can't come near you today. You step back for the time being and practice diligently. Flying up with you, there should be three people. When the day comes, I will take you to the Eight Views palace of the Shangqing Dynasty. Say goodbye, the holy car flies away. Zhenren then sincerely repented, and Wang Chang returned to the Crane Ming Mountain.

The disciples in the mountain knew that the true man's mana was vast, and only Wang Chang alone had obtained the true transmission. There was a lot of discussion, and it was said that the real person was eccentric and refused to teach the spell. The real person said: How can you cultivate if you are not tacky and not removed? Only get some of my guidance techniques, or serve herbs to prolong life. At noon on the seventh day of the first lunar month of next year, there was a man from the east, with a short body, a mink and a brocade jacket, and this is the real person of my way, who will not be weaker than the king. When the disciples heard about it, they were half-convinced. On the seventh day of the first lunar month of the following year, at noon, the real man said to The King: When your master and brother arrive, you can send someone like this. The chief Wang led the order and went out of the mountain gate, and saw the east side, and sure enough, there was a man, and his clothes looked just as the real person said. The disciples were secretly amazed. Wang Chang said to his disciples privately: The teacher will pass on the Fa to this person, and when he arrives, don't pass on him, insult him, don't let him enter the mountain gate, he will definitely leave alone. When the man arrived at the door, he claimed to be Zhao Sheng, a member of the Wu County, admiring the greatness of the True Humanity And Law, and came to see him. The disciples replied to him: Master has gone out on a cloud tour, and he does not dare to leave you here without permission. Zhao Sheng stood with his hands in his hands, and everyone scattered. At night, the mountain gate was closed, and Zhao Sheng slept outside the door. When the disciples opened the door, Zhao Sheng was still standing in front of the door, asking to see the real person. The disciples said: The master is very mean, we have served him for decades, and there is still no secret art to teach, what is the use of you coming. Zhao Sheng said: Pass or not pass, let the division commander. I came from afar just to meet him to comfort the admiration of my life. The disciples also said: It is up to you to see you, but the teacher is really not here, and I don't know when he will return to the mountain. Don't wait and delay the future. Zhao Sheng said: I came here out of sincerity. If the real person doesn't come back for ten days, I'll wait ten days. If I don't come back for a hundred days, I'll wait a hundred days.

Everyone saw that Zhao Sheng had been staying for several days and did not go back, and they were very disgusted. Gradually, he insulted him, and later he was treated as a beggar and insulted him with evil words. Zhao Sheng was even kinder and didn't care at all. Every day, I only go to the village at noon to buy a meal to eat. After eating, he went to the mountain gate to serve again. At night, the people did not allow him to enter the door, and they slept on the steps, and so on for more than forty days. The disciples privately commented that although they did not take him away, it was gratifying that they had hidden it from their master and had not found him for such a long time. I saw Zhenren ringing the bell in front of the hall and gathering the crowd and saying to the crowd: The disciples of the Zhao family have been here for forty days, and it is enough to be humiliated, so call him in today to meet him. The disciples were shocked, and only then did they know the master's ability. Wang Chang was ordered by his master to call Zhao Sheng in. When he saw the real person, he wept and cried, and prostrated his head to be accepted as a disciple.

The real man knew that he was sincerely asking for the Truth, and he wanted to try him again. After a few days, he was sent to the farmhouse to watch over the seedlings. Zhao Sheng was ordered to come to the edge of the field, there was only a small hut, there was no dependence around, there were many wild beasts coming and going. Sooner or later, Zhao Sheng waited for Hemiao to drive away the beasts, and did not slacken off at all. One night, the moon is as bright as day. Zhao Sheng sat alone in the hut, saw a woman, very beautiful, walked into the hut, saw the ceremony and said: The concubine is the daughter of the Xicun farmer, and she and her friends came out to admire the moon, accidentally scattered, and got lost here. My feet hurt, I can't walk, I want you to pity me, let me stay overnight. Zhao Sheng was about to resign when the woman went straight to sleep on his bed. The mouth kept whistling and crying, only saying that the feet hurt. Zhao Sheng looked at her like this, there was no way, he had to let her sleep. I laid myself some weeds and slept on the floor with clothes on my clothes. The next day, the woman pushed off the pain in her feet, deliberately refused to go, and wanted to eat and drink. Zhao Sheng had to take care of her. The woman spoke in a gossipy manner, seducing Zhao Sheng. At night, he took off his clothes and slept on Zhao Sheng's bed, asking Zhao Sheng to sleep with her. Zhao Sheng's heart was like iron and stone, and he didn't even enter the hut, and sat on the edge of the field until dawn. It wasn't until the fourth day that the woman disappeared.

Light and shadow flew by, spring came to autumn, and Zhao Sheng, on the orders of the real people, went to the back mountain to cut firewood. Accidentally cut a dead tree, with great force, the pine tree fell in response, and the pine roots leaked out. Zhao Sheng uprooted the pine tree and saw a cellar of gold with a brilliant yellow at the root. I heard someone in the air say: Heavenly Gift Zhao Sheng. Zhao Sheng thought: I am a monk, and it is useless to ask for gold. Moreover, if there is no merit, how can it covet the gifts of heaven? He buried the soil, collected the firewood, and went back. Walking to the road, I felt very sleepy and rested on the stone for a while. Suddenly, the wind was fierce, three tigers jumped out of the mountain pass, Zhao Sheng did not move, and the three tigers surrounded Zhao Sheng, constantly biting his clothes, and did not hurt him. Zhao Sheng was completely undaunted, and the color was unchanged, and said to the tiger: I Zhao Sheng did not do anything in my life that I did not have a conscience, and now I am abandoning my family to cultivate the Tao, not far away, to worship famous teachers, and to seek the road of immortality. If it is a debt owed to you in a past life, you should be swallowed up by you in this life, and you dare not avoid it. If not, you can leave quickly and don't pestering people here. The three tigers heard this, bowed their heads and left. Zhao Sheng thought to himself: This must have been sent by the mountain god to test me, life and death have a destiny, and I have nothing to be afraid of. So I went back with firewood.

Another day, Zhenren instructed Zhao Sheng to go to the market to buy ten silks. Zhao Sheng bought it and walked back. Halfway through, I suddenly heard someone behind me shouting, telling him to walk slowly. When Zhao Sheng looked back, it was the owner of the silk seller, who rushed to him, grabbed Zhao Sheng and said: You didn't give money, why did you take my silk, and quickly return it to me. Zhao Sheng did not argue either, but just thought: These silks are what my master wants to use, if I give them back to him, how to reply to the master. So he took off the mink and gave it to the silk lord, who was too little, and then took off the brocade jacket and gave it to him, and the silk lord left. Zhao Sheng gave the silk to the real person. The real man asked him: Where are the clothes on your body? Zhao Sheng said: I was sick and afraid of heat, and I didn't wear it. The real person said: Do not stingy with your own wealth, do not talk about others, it is difficult for others to compare ah. So he gave him a robe.

Another day, Zhao Sheng and his brothers were harvesting grain in the field, when they suddenly saw a man on the side of the road, prostrating his head and begging, his clothes were tattered, his face was full of dirt, his body was full of abscesses, and his smell was abominable. Both feet were rotten and could not walk. The brothers covered their noses and scolded him to leave. Zhao Sheng felt unbearable in his heart, so he helped him to sit in the hut and greeted him about his situation. Give him all your meals. Another bucket of hot water was boiled and he bathed. The man said he was cold and wanted a piece of clothing. Zhao Sheng untied his cloth robe, took off one of the clothes inside, and gave it to the beggar. At night, he saw that he had no one to rely on, and personally accompanied him. In the middle of the night, the man said he was going to untie his hand. Zhao Sheng quickly got up and helped him untie his hand. Save his own food for him during the day, often only half full, and take care of him carefully at night. After ten days or so, there was no slackness at all. The man's illness slowly improved, and he suddenly said goodbye. Zhao Sheng also has no complaints and no regrets.

It was the height of summer, and Zhenren gathered all the disciples and reached the top of The Heavenly Pillar Peak together. That day the pillar peak was on the left side of Heming Mountain. On three sides of the cliff, the real person led the disciple to look down, there was a peach tree, growing on the stone wall, as if a person stretched out an arm, below is the abyss. There were a lot of peaches on that peach tree, and the red was lovely. The real man said to the disciples: If someone can pick this peach, I will tell him the secret of the Dao. At that time, in addition to Wang Chang and Zhao Sheng, there were two hundred and thirty-four disciples. They all stood on the edge of the cliff and peeped, fighting with two strands, sweating, and their feet were unstable. Just by looking at it, they all hurriedly retreated, lest they fall. Only Zhao Sheng, alone, stepped forward. Say to the crowd: The teacher asked me to pick peaches, and it must be that this peach has a reason to get it. Moreover, the teacher is here, and the gods and ghosts protect me, and he will definitely not let me die in the deep valley. So I looked at the peach tree, jumped, impartial, not up and down, just sat on the peach tree, and picked peaches wantonly. Looking at the stone wall, three feet away from the top of the mountain, unable to climb, unable to climb, so he threw the peaches he picked up one by one, and picked a tree of peaches. After Zhenren finished receiving the peach, he ate one for himself, Wang Chang ate one, one for Zhao Sheng, and the remaining two hundred and thirty-four were distributed among the disciples, one for each of them, no more, no less. Zhenren asked: Among the disciples, who has the ability to pick up Zhao Sheng? The disciples looked at each other and did not dare to agree. Zhenren stood on the edge of the cliff and stretched out his arm, and that arm suddenly grew to about three zhang, until Zhao Sheng's side, Zhao Shen climbed up, and all the disciples were shocked. Zhenren waited for Zhao Sheng to finish eating the peach and smiled: Zhao Sheng's heart is right, and he can jump to the tree. I want to jump down and try it today, if the heart is right, you can definitely get a big peach. The disciples advised that although the teacher was profound in his Teachings, he should not try to jump off an unfathomable cliff. Just now Zhao Sheng was fortunate that the teacher took the lead, if the teacher fell, no one picked up the lead, absolutely not. There were even a few people, pulling on their clothes, trying to persuade. Only Wang Chang and Zhao Sheng were indifferent. The real people did not listen to the persuasion of the people, jumped down, and the crowd hurried to look at the peach tree, and there was no trace of the real person, looking at the unfathomable underneath, there was no way to pass, and the real people did not know whether they were dead or alive. The disciples cried out in sorrow. Zhao Sheng said to Wang Chang: Teacher, just like our father, the teacher throws a cliff, how can we be peaceful, it is better to jump down together and find the whereabouts of the teacher. So the two of them also jumped down, only to see the real person sitting on the rock, laughing and saying: I expect you two to come.

This is the famous seven tests Zhao Sheng: the first test, insults do not go. The second try, beauty does not move. The third test, see gold is not taken. The fourth test, see the tiger is not afraid. The fifth test, the repayment of silk is not stingy, and it is not defended. The sixth test is to be careful. The seventh test is to give up one's life to follow the teacher. It turned out that these seven tests were all the attention of real people, and the gold, beauty, big worm, and beggar were all changed by him. The person who sells silk is also fake, which is called trying to be fake. Whoever enters the path must first cut off the seven emotions. Those seven emotions are angry, angry, fearful, love and evil desires. It is said that the worldly people today, arrogant and arrogant, face these seven trials, and ask who can persevere. When Zhenren saw Zhao Sheng and Wang Chang, his Daoist heart was strong, so he poured out all the secret techniques he had learned in his life. After three days and three nights, both of them got the mystery. The real man flew up the cliff, and the two followed and returned to the residence.

After meditating one day with his eyes closed, the real person said to the two apprentices: There are monsters in Padang, and when you get rid of her. The three masters and apprentices came to Padang. Suddenly, I saw twelve goddesses greeting them in front of the mountain. The real person asked them: Here is the salty spring, where is it. The goddess replied: The great lake in front of it is now occupied by poisonous dragons, and the water is muddy. The real person then drew a charm, threw it into the air, and transformed into a roc golden-winged bird, circling and flying on the lake. The poisonous dragon panicked and left here to escape, and the lake became clear. Each of the twelve goddesses took a jade ring from her bosom and offered it to the real person. The real person took the jade ring, merged the jade ring into one, threw it into the well, and said to the goddess: If you can get this god ring, I will accept her. The twelve goddesses wanted to take the ring of god and jump into the well first. The real person then wrote a spell and threw it into the well, agreeing that he would always be the god of the well. Immediately call the local villagers, take water to boil, and the last thing you get is salt. He instructed: In the future, when boiling salt, we must worship the twelve goddesses. It turned out that the twelve goddesses were all goblins, often confusing men and bringing disasters, and now they were surrendered by real people, and from then on, Padang did not have the harm of the goddesses, but had the benefit of well salt.

After the real person descended the demon, he returned to the Crane Ming Mountain. The Heavenly Transmission was given the title of One Day Master. Within a few days, he and two disciples soared in the middle of the Crane Ming Mountain. Three days after his ascension to heaven, Zhang Heng, the eldest son of Zhenren, came to Longhu Mountain and inherited the position of Heavenly Master.
