Taoist priest Wang Fan is a native of Jintan and lives in the Horse Track Mountain. He used to accumulate Yin Gong to help the living creatures, even treating animals with great love and care. At that time, it was the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Central Plains was in chaos, famine and pestilence were everywhere, and there was also a toxic miasma everywhere, many people died of disease, the fields were desolate, nine out of ten rooms were empty, and there were corpses everywhere who died of disease and hunger. Wang Fan wrote a memorial to the gods in his purification room, asking them to help the victims of the disaster.
On the third night, suddenly a dazzling light illuminated all the homes, then blew a gust of auspicious wind, the air colored clouds rolled, not long after, accompanied by a burst of fairy music came a strong fragrance, more than 3,000 warriors in silver armor holding weapons came to the courtyard arranged as if waiting for some nobleman, then a parade of honorary warriors came, beaded banners; decorated with precious stones; and embroidered with rainbow The banners and charms embroidered with rainbow patterns, and two big red banners and two brocade banners led the way in front, with the feathered banners at the front and the charms at the end. There were four fairy children holding flowers and incense, two maids holding small tables, colorful carpets on the floor, a huge screen in front of the hall, the General Dragon and Tiger and more than twenty officers standing on either side of the screen, as if waiting to escort who. Then there were twenty-six great generals in golden armor, fifty gods and goddesses, standing on the outside of the two generals of the dragon and the tiger, standing class arrangement is completed, the courtyard is very solemn. Not long after, from the north came the sound of heavenly drums and music, the clouds emitted colorful light, dazzling. At that time, a god with a sword on his waist and a wat came to Wang Fan and said, “The Supreme Lord of the Way has arrived!” Then the great seat with a hundred kinds of precious stones descended from the sky, and the Supreme Lord was accompanied by two real gods and two heavenly emperors. The Supreme Lord was sitting cross-legged on a five-colored lotus flower, and the two real people and two celestial emperors were standing on either side of him. Wang Fan quickly greeted him and knelt down on the ground. Taishang Taoist monarch said: “You compassionate people’s hardship, wrote a zhengzhang to the heavenly realm, the zhengzhang word blood tears, moved the heavens. Because of the advice of the land god, I came to see you in person.” Wang Fan quickly fell to the ground again and thanked Tai Shang Daojun for his advent.
Taoist monarch said, “One yin and one yang are born together to bring forth all things in the world, and it all depends on the five elements: wood, gold, earth, water and fire. Each of the five elements has its own strengths and prosperity and decline, metabolism, change, so that all things can be born and continue. After hundreds of millions of calamities, the growth of all things has never stopped. Anyone who lives forever will ascend to heaven and become immortal because they are in line with the pure Yang qi. All those who die sink to the nether world and become ghosts underground. Even in ghosts there are differences between good and bad, strong and weak, good and soft, good and evil, exactly the same as in the human world. The emperor is concerned that ghosts and monsters often harm humans, and often sends the five emperors and three palaces to inspect the behavior of ghosts and monsters, and has established very complete rules and regulations to restrain ghosts and monsters. However, among the people born in the last days of the human world, there were many people with wrong hearts, and the ancient style of loyalty and kindness was corrupted, sprouting treachery and demons. These people are unfaithful to the king, ungrateful to both parents, contrary to the ancient teachings of the three principles, their own sins looking for death. Demons and ghosts took advantage of this to gather the ghosts of generals and soldiers who had been defeated and killed in battle, driving the rain and riding the wind, and roaming the world. Especially when the world is in decline, they create plague and disease to harm the people. So that many people can not end their days and die in the middle. Those ghosts that harm people belong to the demon category, they take advantage of the five elements of yin and yang in the defeat to create a variety of small and large diseases. However, they are afraid of the righteousness after all, as long as they are subdued by the divine incantation, they can no longer cause demons and monsters. Now I will give you two volumes of immortal scriptures, you follow the scriptures, you can save all the people.” Immediately, Taishang Daoguang ordered his servant boy to give the two true scriptures, which shone with nine colors, to Wang Fan and said to him, “Continue to cultivate diligently and keep accumulating Yin Gong, you have great hopes of becoming an immortal!” After saying that, only to see a thousand riders rose into the air and rose into the northwest cloud sky back to the heavenly realm. Wang Fan fasted and purified himself according to the scriptures, and then treated the people in Jingzhou, Yangzhou and other areas in the south of the Yangtze River according to the scriptures, and the plague soon disappeared and the people recovered their health.
