Chapter 20

Zhang Wei often remembers the matter of cultivating immortals. It is so tempting, it is flying in the sky!

Taoist Fang from the stone wall came to Taobao on Dongbaishan again, and Zhang Wei naturally became a follower.

He said this time he mainly wanted to try his luck, whether he could find the Dragon Spirit Grass. When he saw it in the hut last time, he mainly came to look for this grass.

This time, I set out to go to the pit along the entrance of the pit. I wade along the water and climb the small hillsides along the way, and sometimes I have to use a hook knife to cut out a road temporarily. At any time, Zhang Wei would never forget to ask some of the stories, and this question would make many of the previous questions relieved.

Regarding Xi Shi, Taoist Maestro Fang said that because Xi Shi was stored in the Taoist family, her beauty soon became famous in the neighborhood.

People often ask and mention that the Taoist family responded that this immortal family is Fang people, who have become immortals, and they also lied that they were the descendants of a great immortal. Anyone must respect him, otherwise he would be punished by God. When Shi was dismantled, he would be Fang people. Later, he changed his surname to Fang. It is said that some families in Zhejiang came from Shi's surname.

After becoming emperor in the Liu family, some Taoist priests were granted the title of officials, including those with the surname Shi, who were granted the surname Fang. It is estimated that Fang Chu of the Eastern Han Dynasty had a very high possibility of changing from the surname Shi.

Fang Chu has a story recorded in history: Fang Chu is proficient in the Book of Changes, has commented on it, knowing the five elements of astronomy, and is proficient in divination. In 79th year of the fourth year of Jianchu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was appointed as a doctor. On the first day of the second month of the following year, the sun eclipsed. Emperor Zhang asked the ministers to recommend the direct counselor, and Zhou Xin, the prefect of Danyang, recommended Fang Chu to explain the origin of the disaster in detail. Emperor Zhang also asked Fang Chu and others to try to remove the mess, but Fang Chu drew his sword and cut off the messy silk, and said to Emperor Zhang: If you go against the norm, control the situation, you should do this when encountering things.

Emperor Zhang valued it very much and appointed him as a doctor. Soon after, he served as the Juquling. In the sixth year of Jianchu, he went home to serve as the mother of Fuling. In the early 84th year of Yuanhe, he was once again named a virtuous and upright person. He took the countermeasures and won the first place. He was promoted to the Luoyang ruling. In June 93, the fifth year of Yongyuan, Emperor He held a suburb festival on the day of the suburb festival and summoned Fang Chu to ask about the weather conditions. Fang Chu said that the weather was not good that day and advised Emperor He not to go. On the day of the suburb festival, the sky was bright and the atmosphere was clear, so Emperor He sent an envoy to blame Fang Chu for deceiving him.

Fang Chu said to the envoy: I received books from my master and could infer the signs of things happening. Now the bad weather is coming, and I hope the emperor will take a car back immediately.

After the envoy left, Fang Chu sighed: He was a minister who was humiliated by the name of disloyalty, so he committed suicide.

On the way back to the Hedi Jue Festival, hail fell like a geese. Hedi was shocked and sent someone to find Fang Chu. He knew that Fang Chu was dead and was very sad. Later, he posthumously conferred Fang Chu as the Taichang Shangshu Ling, the Marquis of Wei, and the villager built a temple on the west hill of Liuting in Xiakeng. His brother Fang Qi was the prefect of Nanyang, the Marquis of Guannei, and the brother Fang Yan was the Grand Governor and the Prefect of Danyang. He was determined in his work.

Later, Fang Chu was deified, and from the analysis of Fang Chu's deeds, it is very likely that Taoist priests will be linked to the legendary Xi Shi deposited in the Taoist priest family, which will inevitably make people think about the change of Fang's surname from Xi Shi's surname.

However, Taoist Fang from Shibi said that there were many helpless things in history. Change of surnames and names and dynasties are all products of the times. We should look at these issues calmly. Life is short, so there is no need to worry too much.
