Since the Lich War, the strength of the two Lich clans has been greatly damaged and they have gradually withdrawn from people's sight. However, the people created by Nuwa have slowly developed. Suiren clan and Chao clan were born one after another. The human clan built nests in trees and lived there. Avoiding the invasion of wild beasts taught humans to use fire so that they could eat cooked food. Therefore, the Suiren clan and the Youchao clan were successively promoted as co-lords by the human race.
But it is said that there was a tribe named Fengyan in Zhuzhu of Huaxu Mountain (the riverside area in today's Qingyang City and Pingliang City, Gansu Province). There was a woman named Huaxu in the Fengyan tribe.
This Hua Xu was a kind and hard-working girl. One day when Hua Xu went out to pick wild fruits, she saw a huge footprint. Hua Xu was curious and measured the size of the footprint with her step. Unexpectedly, Hua Xu returned to the tribe and was pregnant. She was ten years pregnant. He had not given birth to a baby for years, and the tribesmen said that Hua Xu was pregnant with a monster and asked Hua Xu to get rid of the child.
Huaxu couldn't bear the child dying before he was born, so he carried the child despite the pressure of his tribe. Unexpectedly, a year later, the child was still not born. The tribesmen were so frightened that they asked Huaxu to get rid of the child immediately. Huaxu still refused. The tribesmen blocked Hua Xu in the tribe and did not allow Hua Xu to go out to collect food in an attempt to starve Hua Xu to death and kill the monster that Hua Xu was pregnant with.
That night, Hua Xu cried alone in the thatched hut and slowly fell asleep. In his dream, Hua Xu saw a Taoist wearing a moon-white robe and a purple and gold nine-gong crown walking into his room and saying to himself: "The girl is in my arms. It's because the saint will be born in a year. There will be strange beasts bringing food to the girl. Don't worry, girl." After saying that, he turned around and left the thatched house.
Hua Xu woke up from his dream with a start. Seeing that it was a dream, I secretly shed tears. Suddenly I saw a fruit lying on the haystack in front of me. I quickly picked it up and ate the fruit. After eating the fruit, I felt a heat rising from my stomach and quickly running through my body. I immediately felt no longer hungry. Hua Xu knew that there was help from gods and men and hurriedly knelt down and worshiped in all directions.
Sure enough, the next day, an auspicious beast Qilin came out of the mountain carrying food. Everyone saw it and ran away in all directions without being frightened. However, they saw the strange beast coming to Huaxu's house and putting down the food. It kept roaring. Huaxu heard the tribesmen in the house. He screamed in horror and couldn't help but feel frightened in his heart. Suddenly he heard the roar of a beast he had never heard before. He knew it was the god who told him that the strange beast bringing food was coming. He hurriedly walked out of the house and saw a man lying in front of the house. A strange beast with the body of an elk and an ox-tail, wolf's hoofs, fish-scale skin and a yellow horn on its head. There were several fruits in front of the beast. Hua Xu picked up the fruits and ate them. After eating the food, Hua Xu turned around and walked into the forest.
In the past few days, Hua Xu had not given birth to a child for ten years and a strange beast was sending food. The news spread to dozens of surrounding tribes. That day, an elder came from afar to see the strange beast. When the elder saw the unicorn, he said to everyone: " The name of this strange beast is Qilin, and it is a sacred beast. The benevolent beast is the mount of the God of Heaven. If such a sacred beast brings food to Hua Xu, I am afraid that the Fengyan tribe will have a saint like the Suiren clan and the Youchao clan. "
Everyone was shocked when they heard this and hurriedly invited Hua Xu to come out and beg Hua Xu for forgiveness. Hua Xu also knew that the clansmen were just afraid, so they forgave the clan members. Later, they explained to everyone that the elders of Qilin came with everyone from the tribe to join the Fengyan tribe. All the surrounding tribes came to join the Fengyan tribe for future peace.
A year later, Hua Xu gave birth to a baby boy. The elders of the tribe named him Pao Xi. Pao Xi was extremely intelligent, eloquent and extremely powerful. He could help the tribe hunt and gather wild fruits at the age of several years. On that day, Pao Xi was in the forest. While collecting food, I suddenly heard a voice: "Do you know why this tree bears fruit and how can you make it bear more fruit?"
Pao Xi turned around and saw a Taoist priest wearing a moon-white Taoist robe and a purple and gold nine-gong crown standing behind him and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I don't know, please ask the Taoist priest to teach me." The Taoist asked, "Why do you need to know this? "Knowing these tribesmen can get more food and avoid starving to death." This Taoist is Qingxu Daojun, a Jie Jiao Taoist. Qingxu Taojun has been thinking hard about the method of teaching since he received the order from his teacher. At this time, human beings were still in a semi-civilized state, but it was impossible to preach directly. After thinking hard for several days, it suddenly occurred to him that if he became the emperor's master, he could let the human race practice with him. Fuxi was not born yet, and no one knew that Fuxi would become a member of the human race after his reincarnation. When the Lord thought of Qingxu here, he went directly to Huaxu Mountain in Chengji to wait for Fuxi to be born.
This was the great joy that Fuxi reincarnated several times over hundreds of years and finally threw himself into Hua Xu's belly. After waiting for hundreds of years, he finally succeeded. Later, when he saw that the people from the Fengyan tribe wanted to kill Hua Xu, he fell asleep in the middle of the night to comfort him. On the second day, Hua Xu summoned another unicorn to bring food to Hua Xu until Fuxi was born. When he saw that Fuxi was already able to understand things, he showed up and wanted to accept him as his disciple.
When Qingxu heard what Fu Xi said, he couldn't help but sigh, "But the Born Holy Emperor already cares about his people at such a young age." Thinking of this, he said to Pao Xi, "I have a great way, but the law is not spread to the six ears." Pao Xi. Xi, who was also an extremely smart man, bowed after hearing this and said, "My disciple, Pa Xi, originally worshiped the Taoist Master as my teacher. I hope that the Taoist Master will teach me the Tao." Qingxu came here for this reason. When he saw Pao Xi, he agreed and said with a smile, "You still have to do it?" If your mother is here, you can come with me to meet your mother before becoming a disciple." After saying that, he took the cook and headed towards the Fengyan tribe.
After a while, he came to Huaxu's house of Fengyan tribe. The cook asked Qingxu to sit down and went to find his mother. After a while, the cook took his mother Huaxu back home. Huaxu recognized this person when he saw him. The man who had entrusted him with the dream hurriedly came forward to pay homage. Xie Qingxu helped Hua Xu up and said, "You don't have to be polite. I'm here today to take a butcher as my disciple. I wonder if you are willing?" When Hua Xu heard this, he was overjoyed but hesitated.
Qingxu said, "I know you are concerned that Pao Xi is young and impoverished and will not take him away, so you teach Pao Xi here." After hearing this, Hua Xu hurriedly asked Pao Xi to become his disciple. Bowing to the east is considered as paying homage to the ancestor." After hearing this, Pao Xi bowed to Qingxu again and said, "Now that you have entered the palace, I will teach you the skills of Shangqing and fishing and hunting." After hearing this, Hua Xu hurriedly left the house. When Pao Xi was about to become a disciple, the sage and the Empress Nuwa both felt the emotion and smiled slightly.
Qingxu comes every morning to teach the Taoist priests, the art of fishing and hunting, and returns to Jiuhua Mountain in the evening. After ten years of this, the chef has grown into a stalwart young man. On this day, Qingxu was sitting quietly in the Shangqing Temple. Suddenly, something moved in his heart to Bai Lingtongzi. Said: "You can go outside the cave to meet Fairy Caixia of Wa Palace."
Bai Ling took the order and came out. After a while, he saw a fairy in colorful clouds coming from the sky riding on five-colored auspicious clouds. Bai Ling hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "The fairy comes from the Wa Palace." The Caixia Fairy was surprised and thought. "This Dao Lord Qingxu is indeed extraordinary. I came from the Wa Palace and he was able to calculate it." He was surprised in his heart but said without being disrespectful: "It is I who came here on the order of the empress to deliver something to Dao Lord Qingxu. Please let the Taoist boy know." Bai Ling said, "Teacher asked me to come and greet the fairy. Just come with me." After that, he led Fairy Caixia to Shangqing Temple.
When Qingxu saw Caixia entering the palace, she asked, "I wonder why the queen sent the fairy here?" Caixia took out something from her sleeve and replied, "The queen asked the fairy to give this thing to Daojun." Qingxu accepted. He put the object on the table in front of him and said, "Your Majesty, you have something else to say." "Except for this thing, your Majesty has nothing to say." "Then please tell the fairy, please tell me that Qingxu knows what to do."
Fairy Caixia was surprised again, "You know it now? I don't understand anything. What does this Taoist understand? I wonder what kind of riddle the empress and this old Taoist played." But she didn't dare to ask, so she left with a lot of questions. Liao Wa Palace.
Qingxu waited for Caixia to leave and then said: "Haha, I can't hide it from the saint."
