According to legend, one day, Fuqiu Duke came to see Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi and found that his eyebrows were furrowed and depressed, so he asked considerately: "Dear Emperor, why are you depressed?" Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi sighed and said with infinite sadness: "In the morning, I went to the stream to wash, and my face was reflected in the water. Then I found that my temples were frosted and my beard was gray. Alas, I am old, old!"
Fuqiu Duke said: "All things in the world must have life and death. What's the use of worrying?"
Huangdi shook his head: "I'm not afraid of death. Because I have many other things that I haven't finished. The land needs to be reclaimed, rivers need to be managed, animals need to be domesticated, and plants need to be selected - I can't die early."
"What's the solution?" Fuqiu Gong said in embarrassment, "Only immortals can live forever."
"No," Xuanyuan Huangdi smiled, "I heard that a great man can transcend the mortal world by eating Immortal Pill and become an immortal. Fuqiu Gong, come and find me a fairyland for alchemy." Fuqiu Gong did not dare to disobey, so he had to take the order and leave.
After Fuqiu Gong left, Huangdi threw a stone in the jar every day. There were more than a thousand stones in the jar, which means Fuqiu Gong had been away for three years. On this day, Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi put up stones and felt anxious. Suddenly, Rong Chengzi came to report: "Mr. Fuqiu is back!" Emperor Huangdi hurried out to greet him. After meeting, he couldn't wait to ask: "Speak quickly, how are you doing?"
Duke Fuqiu bowed and said: "Dear Emperor, I finally found a place to refine elixirs, which is really a fairyland."
"Where is that place?" Huangdi asked happily.
Fuqiu Gong said: "There are a group of high mountains in the south of the Yangtze River. Because there are mostly black stones on the mountains, I named it Yishan."
Xuanyuan Huangdi's joy is simply indescribable. He didn't care about letting Fuqiu Duke rest, so the next day he took Fuqiu Duke, Rong Chengzi and some servants to set off on the way and headed straight to Yishan, Jiangnan. When everyone looked up there, it was indeed a supreme place. I saw strange peaks lined up and rose from the ground. The mountains are all kinds of strange and unique, and they all have their own patterns. It is really "the strange peaks are drawn on the side of the strange peaks, and strange rocks are stacked on the strange stones." Everyone was watching, and they were amazed. Suddenly, clouds flew out of a cave in the valley, covering the beautiful scenery in front of the curtain. Emperor Xuanyuan was so impressed by the sight. Unexpectedly, the scenery was blocked by the clouds and was very angry, so he used his hands to tear the clouds and fog. It's strange that the cloud actually flowed back into the original cave like flowing water. Everyone was surprised.
Xuanyuan Huangdi was infatuated and walked towards the mountains without having to lead the way.
Not long after walking, I saw a pool at the foot of a mountain, covered with fog. Rong Chengzi squatted down and scooped water with his hands. The water was actually hot! Fu Qiu Gong said, "I once heard that there is an immortal pond in the mountain, and this must be it." Xuanyuan was ecstatic when he heard it, so he hurriedly took off his clothes and jumped into the pond. The water in the pool is neither hot nor cold. After bathing, the energy is doubled, making people feel like they are drifting.
Walking further, suddenly a group of apes and monkeys chasing. They all had all kinds of flowers in their mouths, gathered on a huge rock, and only a roar was heard, a yellow light, and the monkeys disappeared. Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi was puzzled and led everyone to pursue him. Where can I catch up? There is no road in the mountains, wild wilds everywhere, green vines everywhere, and even more strange rock wolf teeth. If you can't walk a few steps, you will fall into a desperate situation. Huangdi did not give up and ordered Rong Chengzi to swing his axe in front of him to find the way, stumbled all the way. When I climbed to a cliff, I heard the noise in the valley. When I looked down, I saw that it was the group of monkeys. I saw that they threw all the picked flowers in a large stone trough. On a protruding stone, an old monkey with snow-white fur was sitting upright, and several small hairy monkeys were tickling its back. Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi thought to himself that this must be Monkey King . At this time, the old monkey king had already stood up and bowed to the Huangdi on the cliff, making a sound in his mouth. Huangdi was about to return the tribute, but with a roar, the monkey king and the monkey group disappeared again.
Fuqiu Gong walked to Huangdi and whispered, "It is said that there is an immortal in this mountain that can fly into the clouds and fog without a trace. I am afraid that it is what I saw just now."
Xuanyuan Huangdi nodded and led everyone down the mountain. Suddenly, a wave of intoxicating fragrance came to my nose. Everyone searched around and saw half a trough of light white water in a stone trough, and the fragrance floated from there. Rong Chengzi grabbed the step, scooped up with his hands and sniffed, and shouted unconsciously: "Immortal wine! Immortal wine!" Huangdi and everyone tasted it and they started drinking wildly.
Xuanyuan Huangdi ordered to build a house in this mountain. The next day, everyone went to find the most ideal place to refine alchemy separately. They climbed the mountains and streams, the stones broke their legs and feet, the thorns ripped their clothes, and walked all the peaks of Yishan Mountain, and finally found a good place. Huangdi ordered Fuqiu Duke to build an alchemy platform, Rong Chengzi built an alchemy furnace, and all the ministers and servants raised firewood and prepared firewood. But he couldn't wait to find the medicine for alchemy.
To refine alchemy, ninety-nine branches of Ganoderma lucidum , ninety-nine nine-section ginseng, ninety-nine pairs of antelope (antilope) horns, ninety-nine jade dew flowers, ninety-nine leopard (leopard) gallbladder, ninety-nine fig , ninety-nine red leaf pine, ninety-nine ice mint, ninety-nine cinnabar pills, and ninety-nine drops of nectar water. It's really not easy to get these things in hand. However, Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi decided not to go down the mountain if he could not refine the elixir.
Seventy-two steep peaks of Yishan are inserted into the clouds, and even monkeys are difficult to get up in some places, but Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi walked every inch of the cliff. After eating the food I brought, I had to pick wild fruits to satisfy my hunger. The servants could not bear the pain and ran away one after another. In the end, only Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi, Duke Fuqiu and Rong Chengzi were left. They spent nine years working hard to find all the medicines, but they lacked nectar water. At this time, Fu Qiu Gong fell ill again, so Xuanyuan kept Rong Chengzi to take care of him and climbed into the deep mountains himself. That day, he was very tired and saw a large smooth stone in Taohua Creek, so he climbed up to rest. When he closed his eyes in a daze, he suddenly heard a pleasant fairy music coming from the mountains and forests. Soon, he saw two cranes walking out of the forest, dancing as they walked. In front of the crane, there was an old man with white beard and white eyebrows riding a snow-white deer, walking slowly towards him. He was shocked and quickly got up to salute and asked him about the nectar there. The old fairy smiled but didn't answer, just threw down a square scarf. The scarf was falling under his feet. When he looked closely, he saw two words on the square scarf: Danjing. Huangdi was ecstatic and woke up for a while. When he looked at it again, the scarf disappeared. It turned out to be a dream. He got up, carved a stone under his feet, and looked for the Dan Well. The rock was very strong, and it took a day to chisel a small piece of stone chips. Huangdi did not deflate. He had been digging for 49 days and finally dug a well. The water of the well was sweet and fragrant, and it was indeed nectar.
Kid Fu Qiu rushed over after hearing the news. His illness was cured. They immediately mashed various medicines into pills, then raised the fire and turned on the furnace.
They refined for three years, and the firewood piles that were originally prepared as high as a mountain were burned out, and all the trees near the alchemy platform were cut down. Fuqiu Gong and Rong Chengzi had no choice but to go to the distance to collect firewood. Emperor Xuanyuan burned the fire in front of the furnace. He filled the final piece of pine wood into furnace , but the firewood collector had not returned yet. Seeing that the fire in the furnace gradually became smaller, Huangdi was so anxious that he was restless. If the fire of the alchemy is extinguished, all previous efforts will be wasted. He looked up again at the mountain road, but there was still no one. What to do? Huangdi then put one of his legs into the furnace, and the fire became prosperous.
As burning, a loud noise suddenly sounded from the alchemy furnace, and thousands of golden lights were shot out. The distant mountains and valleys are illuminated. Fuqiu Duke and Rong Chengzi rushed over, and Huangdi was still burning his legs peacefully. They pulled out Huangdi's legs, and the three of them looked at the alchemy furnace, so happy that they didn't know what to say - to refine the elixir.
The servants who escaped halfway heard a roar of Yishan and saw thousands of golden lights. They knew that the immortal pill had been refined, so they rushed over one after another.But when they arrived, Huangdi, Fuqiu Gong and Rong Chengzi had already taken over the immortal pill, reborn and became immortals. Seeing that the three men were slowly floating off the ground, the servants asked to take them to heaven.
Xuanyuan Huangdi looked at them and ignored them. The three of them stepped on the auspicious clouds and gradually rose. A servant jumped and grabbed Huangdi's beard, trying to go to heaven with them, but unexpectedly, the beard suddenly broke into the air, and threw the servant down and turned into a strange rock. Huangdi's beard fell to the ground and turned into dragon beard grass. Now the clumps of green dragon beard grass beside the cracks of the cliff are the beard of Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi.
Huangdi, Fuqiu Gong and Rong Chengzi became immortals after eating the elixir. From then on, they have lived forever and have always benefited mankind. Because Yishan is the place where Huangdi refines elixirs, the ancestors called Yishan Huangshan.
The Xuanyuan Peak, Fuqiu Peak and Rong Cheng Peak among the seventy-two peaks in Huangshan are now missing them. In Taohua Creek, the Danjing they used is still preserved!
