The story of one of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea

Tiegui Li is also known as Li Tiegui, and other names include Li Ningyang, Li Honghong, Li Kongmu, Li Xuan, Li Yue, and Li Yuanzhong. The age of his birth is also a matter of opinion. It is generally believed that there are no people in history, and their true appearance and deeds come from legends. Legend has it that he was originally a young man, after entering the mountain to cultivate, once with Laojun, Wanqiu to travel to the western countries, before leaving to instruct the apprentice Yang Zi to guard his body (body), agreed not to return for seven days before incineration. Unexpectedly, on the sixth day, someone in Yang Zi's family came to report the emergency, saying that his mother was critically ill and waiting to see him. Yang Zi hesitated, couldn't stand the urging of his family, and finally incinerated Li Xuan's body. After Li Xuan's soul traveled west with Laojun, he returned to the mountain where he cultivated according to the original number of seven days, and went to Maozhai to search for his soul, only to see that the hair was gone, and his apprentice Yang Zi did not know where to go. Li Xuan's wandering spirit wandered everywhere, screaming out of thin air day and night, and happened to encounter a hungry corpse lying in the mountains. At this time, Li Xuan suddenly remembered Lao Jun's parting words: "If you want to get the old form, you are meeting the new face", and had an epiphany, "This hungry corpse has no face." So he no longer had a trumpet, nor wandered, but rose up with the corpse of a hungry man, and from then on the burly and handsome boy became a beggar with uncovered hands and dirty face, like a beggar with a purple cane. Li Xuan, who was supported by the corpse, can change at will, and the crutches in his hand can be identified as an iron rod by spitting saliva, and the world no longer knows his real name, only loudly calling him "Mr. Tie Gui", and in the future, he will be called "Tie Guan Li" more directly.

After Li Xuan became "Tie Guan Li", he knew that the mother of his apprentice Yang Zi was dead, and he couldn't help but reflect on himself and ask: "The one who guards my corpse and does not end is forced by his mother." His mother dies and does not give away, it is tiring to me, I don't come back to life for it, he will hold a grudge for the rest of his life! The heart of resentment was changed to heavy sympathy, so he carried a cane in his hand, carried a gourd on his shoulder, went to Yang's house, took out a pill of the elixir of death taught by Yiren from the gourd, saved Yang Zi's mother, explained his identity, and walked away.
