It is said that there is a magical temple on Mang Mountain. Lu Dongbin once visited this temple for immortality. Which temple is this?

There is such a temple located in Mang Mountain, and it is very magical, so why is it called magical? It is mainly said that the great god Lu Dongbin once visited here, and this temple is now the Patriarch Temple. This mythological temple has undergone several name changes. Before it was renamed the Zushi Temple, it was once known as the "Xuan Emperor Temple" and "Huoyang Palace". Today we will take a look at the past and present life of this temple.

At first, this temple was called Xuandi Temple. It was very open and magnificent. There was a stream in front of it, a golden water in the back, and mountains on the left and right. The Xuandi Temple was built during the prosperous Tang Dynasty and was mainly used to worship Emperor Wu Zhenjun. This deity is the North Star God and has a history of thousands of years. It can be seen from this that the origin of this temple is extraordinary. In modern terms, it means that it has a good background. After all, it was built during the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

As for the later name change to Huoyang Palace, it was caused by Lu Dongbin’s visit to the immortal world. So what was the specific process? There is an old Taoist priest in this temple who has been practicing for more than 60 years. One day, an old man in ragged clothes and dirty clothes came to the temple asking for food and drink. The old man did not know the Taoist priest, but he behaved very arrogantly. The old man gave the remaining soup to the Taoist priest and asked him to drink it, but how could the Taoist priest drink such a filthy thing? When he was hesitating, the old man got up and left.

The Taoist priest felt a little depressed, so he poured the leftovers under the log and went back to practice. When the Taoist came out from practicing for a while, he found that the log where the food was poured had grown instantly. The green branches and leaves, it was then that he discovered what was extraordinary about the old man, and he chased him all the way. After chasing him all night, when he reached Pingyang Crossing of the Yellow River, it was already dawn, but what the Taoist saw was an immortal, he was Lu Dongbin.
