At that time, there was a woman named vegetable girl, who was also an enlightened person and knew how to keep in good health. Although she is in her sixties and seventies, she still looks like a woman in her forties and fifties.
The king invited her to the palace, and specially built a purple pavilion house decorated with golden jade for talented women to live in. When Shang Zhouwang saw that Peng Zu refused to preach, he sent cainv there, hoping to learn a thing or two from it. Picking women came to consult Peng Zu's method of prolonging life.
Peng Zu told her, "If you want to ascend to heaven, you need to eat elixir. This is the method that Taiyi uses in the daytime, but the king can't use this method. Secondly, we should love the spirit, take herbs, and live forever, but we should not serve the gods and fly in vain. And if you don't know how to press the second button, even if you take medicine, you can't live forever. I lost my mother at the age of 3 and wandered in the western regions 100 years. So far, 49 wives and 54 sons have died. I've suffered several times, and I'm so angry that I'm afraid I'll die soon. It's too superficial to promote. I heard that there is a Mr. Jing Qing in Dawan Mountain who has lived 1000 years and looks like a boy. He travels 500 miles every day and asks, "What kind of fairy is Mr. Jing Qing? " "
Peng Zu said. "He is not a fairy, but a Taoist. The so-called immortals may be able to fly to the clouds without wings; Or ride a dragon in the clouds to reach day order; Or turn into birds and beasts and swim in the clouds; Or sneak in rivers and seas and soar in famous mountains. They eat vitality, eat grass and go in and out of the world, but people don't know that they never associate with laity. Although you can live forever, you are no different from a sparrow to a toad, but you have lost your true colors. I thought that taking glycerin, connecting yin and yang, making the joints hard and keeping their color will last forever, not being injured by wind, cold and rheumatism, not being offended by ghosts and gods, and the insects of the five mountains will not harm their bodies or be dragged down by emotions. "
After that, I taught her room art. Women were selected to receive them one by one. When I came back, I taught the king, and the king tried it, which was very effective. Wang Shang wants to turn this technology into his own. Then I ordered it. Those who preach the art of Peng Zu are all killed, trying to harm Peng Zu. Peng Zu escaped and disappeared. Shang Zhouwang lived to be over 300 years old, and his face was as strong as that of a 50-year-old man. Later, Shang Wang got a beautiful daughter Zheng, who was very promiscuous. Shang Wang was too lewd and died of adultery.
It turns out that both Peng Zu and bodhi old zu in Chen Tuan are in charge next to the Jade Emperor in the Heavenly Palace. One is in charge of the life and death book of the gods, and the other is in charge of the merit book. One day, Chen Tuan said to Peng Zu, "I am overworked and want to have a good sleep. Wake me up if you have something urgent. " Peng Zu replied, "Well, you can go to bed!" Peng Zu saw Chen Tuan go to bed, so he wanted to take this opportunity to see the mortal world. One day, he changed the list of life and death books for Chen Tuan and found his name on it. Peng Zu thought: No, if the Jade Emperor finds me on earth, he will send someone to recall me soon. He had a brainwave and tore off the page with the name "Peng Zu", twisted it into a paper rope and bound it in the book. From then on, Peng Zu's name was never found in the book of life and death, and he descended safely.
Peng Zu was alive and became a scholar-bureaucrat in Shang Dynasty. He married forty-nine wives and gave birth to fifty-four sons, all of whom died of old age, while Peng Zu was still young and active. When he married his fiftieth wife, he quit his job and went sightseeing everywhere. It was not until the fiftieth wife changed from a yellow flower girl to an old woman that she settled down in a small mountain village in yijun county. Peng Zu was 800 years old at this time. One night, the couple slept in bed and chatted. His wife asked him, "I'm dying." Will you get married after I die? " Peng Zu said without mind: "Of course I want to marry, otherwise who will accompany me!" The wife asked again, "Why aren't you old?" Isn't your name on the life and death book? Peng Zu smiled and said, "I won't die!" My name is on the book of life and death, but they just can't find it. The wife then asked, "What's your name?" "Peng Zu proudly told the truth at the moment. The wife realized the mystery of Peng Zu's immortality.
After the wife died, she took off her mortal body and returned to the Heavenly Palace to tell the story to the Jade Emperor. Hearing this, the Jade Emperor suddenly realized that God had sent him to summon the bodhi old zu in Chen Tuan. But Chen Tuan didn't wake up at this moment, so the Jade Emperor had to send two other poor gods to find Peng Zu.
Because of the long history, the God sent didn't know Peng Zu at all, and he didn't get any reply after searching for a long time. The two messengers did not dare to go back to the Heavenly Palace for a job easily, so they had to run around the world and interrogate with torture. One day, two messengers came to Pengcun, yijun county, while the carpenter was eating, stole a big saw to solve the problem, and saw a wheel on the threshing floor, which attracted many villagers to look around. At this time, Peng Zu also came to watch. People are talking about it. Because of his age and rich experience, Peng Zu took the opportunity to sneer: "I have lived in Peng Zu for 800 years, and I have never seen anyone sawing wheels." The words sound just fell and two messengers threw a saw and locked Peng Zu on the spot. That night, Peng Zu died at the age of 800.
The ancestor of the kitchen series
Peng Zu, who was good at preparing delicious wild chicken soup for Emperor Yao, was sealed by Emperor Yao in Dapeng (now Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province). Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet in China, wrote in (Chu Ci Tian Wen): "What pleasure does the emperor have when Peng Keng irrigates pheasants?" How long can my husband last? "This artistically reflects Peng Zu's outstanding contribution in promoting the progress of China's food culture. Wang Yi, a scholar of Chu Ci in Han Dynasty, noted: "Peng Keng, Peng Zu also. Good and delicious, good at pouring soup, able to serve the emperor, the emperor is beautiful and delicious. Hong Xingzu of the Song Dynasty added, "Peng Zu's surname is Qian Ming Keng, and Huang Zhuan Xu is his great-grandson. Good at nourishing qi, can adjust the tripod, into the wild chicken soup, sealed in Pengcheng. "Peng Keng is the ancestor of the Peng tribe, and his descendants will multiply in the future, mainly because of his" mountain chicken soup ",so he was regarded as Peng Zu, and his descendants were called Peng Zu. Peng Zu's The Way of Wild Chicken Soup has gradually developed into The Way of Cooking. Wild chicken soup is the earliest recorded name in China's ancient books and is known as "the best soup in the world". China Cooking History 9 says that Peng Zu is "the first famous professional chef in China" and "the longest-lived chef" and is regarded as the ancestor of the kitchen industry.
Xuzhou and Peng Zu.
Peng Zu is the eighth grandson of the Yellow Emperor and the third son of Lv Zhong. Legend has it that Lu Zhong married a female cockroach in the ghost country, and the female cockroach only had a sip of milk. After three years of pregnancy, the child can't be born. Lu Zhong had to cut open his left flank to take out three sons, and then cut open his right flank to take out three sons. Among them, the third son was sealed in Pengcheng (present-day Xuzhou).
