The Shocking and Extraordinary Romance of the Great Sage

According to legend, Zhang Guo was a servant in the Emperor Yao's era. By the early Tang Dynasty, he had lived for more than 3,000 years, so he was called the old immortal Zhang Guo. He is the oldest of the Eight Immortals in ancient myths and legends.

And Zhang Guo is indeed a truly unique person. He was originally a Taoist from Guangzong in Xingzhou, his surname was Zhang Mingguo, and his name was Mr. Tongxuan. He was a famous alchemist and health-preserver in the Tang Dynasty, and he was also a Taoist and author.

According to legend, he lived in seclusion in Zhongtiao Mountain, Shanxi Province for a long time, traveling between Shanxi and Fen, and traveling around the world. At the time of Wu Zetian, he was hundreds of years old, and Wu Zetian sent an envoy to invite him. How could this old man, who had been invited by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty but refused to see him, go to see the empress. On the surface, he went to Beijing with the envoy, but he had his own plans in mind. When he reached a place called"Jealousy Temple", he pretended to be dead again and fell down on the road like a zombie. After a while, the zombies released a putrid smell, and the envoy had no choice but to return to Beijing to truthfully report the news of Zhang Guo's death to Wu Zetian.

Legend has it that Zhang Guo became an immortal after eating ginseng, and his donkey became a divine donkey after drinking ginseng soup. From then on, Guo Lao traveled around the world riding a donkey. He went in and out on this white donkey, riding it backwards, and traveled thousands of miles a day. When resting, the white donkey was folded up like paper and placed in a towel box. When riding on it, spray it with water and it will turn into a live donkey and ride on it backwards.

*********************************************

It is said that Zhang Guolao was still riding along the Dongting Lake, riding his donkey backwards. Today, the weather is exceptionally sunny, the wind is gentle, and the sun is shining brightly. I can't help but get excited, beat the fishing drums, and sing: It is very worrying to have no rain at the beginning of autumn, and half of all crops have been harvested.

If it rains every day during the summer heat, even if it is fruitful, it will be difficult to retain it.

After passing through one village after another, when I came to a well in Dujia Village, I became accustomed to folding the white donkey like paper and putting it in a towel box. He took out the dried fruits from the package in the box. There was a bucket of water next to the well, but he didn't use it. He personally threw the water hyacinth into the deep well. The gourd filled up by itself and floated up to the well platform as lightly as a goose feather. He took it in one hand and ate the dried fruit while drinking from the well.

At this time, there was the sound of quarreling and arguing, one side was as loud as a cow roaring, and the other side was as loud as a lion's roar. There must be a quarrel between two families, so Guo Lao hurriedly packed up his scarf box and walked towards the fighting family.

As I got closer, I could hear two families arguing over the boundary. A woman from one family shouted angrily:"Du Laomin! Your family is building a house and occupying my land. The line is drawn from here! How dare you build it over here!" A woman from another family refused to give up and said angrily:"Du Lihong! Let's go! The middle line was drawn incorrectly by the seniors! How can my family be sorry for your family! Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"

While they were having a good fight, the men from the two families came and made it even more serious. They fisted and rolled up their sleeves and jumped up. Want to fight.

Zhang Guolao seemed to be fierce and there would be casualties, so he stood up in the middle, flattened his hands, and said:"Stop! We can't fight! If you don't bear it, someone will die!"

Women from two other families also came up to start a fight, fearing that someone would be killed. Very scared. The man didn't give up, but he was unforgiving and started to make a loud noise. Needless to say, the scolding was very unpleasant, one wanted to suppress the other, and one side wanted to suppress the other.
