Xu Fu's entry into the sea to seek immortals caused a lot of shock in Shandong, and many monks followed Xu Fu's example at that time, all wanting to get money and glory. There is a warlock, named Lu Sheng, a native of Yandi, he is also a skilled person, so he simply came to Xianyang and bribed Song Wuji, the favorite minister of the First Emperor, saying that he himself would refine the elixir, and he would be immortal if he ate the pill he refined. Song Wuji left him at home, ready to find an opportunity to introduce him to the emperor.

After the first emperor returned to Xianyang, he thought about the fairyland on the sea all day long, was obsessed with immortality, and was especially full of interest in Xu Fu's quest for immortals. But after a period of time, seeing that Xu Fu had no news coming, he summoned Song Wuji and said: "Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are for me to play, virtuous ministers and fierce generals will share my worries, three palaces and six courtyards are for me to enjoy, and rare treasures are pleasing to my eyes, but why do you still feel that there are some shortcomings?" Song Wuji said: "Your Majesty must feel that something bad will happen, so you feel some regrets and shortcomings?" The emperor said, "That's right, that's right. I sent Xu Fu to the sea to search for the immortals, but there has been no news so far, and I am very worried. Do you think that this life is like a white horse passing by a gap, time is not waiting, if you can't seek immortality, I can't be happy? Song Wuji took the opportunity to say: "There is still a way for you to live forever." As soon as these words came out, Emperor Qin's jaw was so shocked that his jaw was about to fall, so he asked what could be done. Song Wuji took the opportunity to say: "The minister privately found you a monk with a unique skill, and he said that he would refine the elixir of immortality. When Emperor Qin heard this, he was surprised and delighted, so he hurriedly asked Lu Sheng to come and see him.

When Emperor Qin saw Lu Sheng, he first asked his name, and then asked how to refine the elixir. Lu Sheng coaxed and said: "The minister mixes all kinds of medicinal materials together, puts them in the gold and silver bell and calcinates, and after 7749 days, he will refine the red pill, the size of a soybean, which is an elixir, also called a golden pill, and His Majesty will be able to live forever after taking it!" Emperor Qin was so happy when he heard this, and said, "How about I build you a secret room in Xianyang for you to alchemy?" Lu Sheng hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that the immortals Xianmen and Gao Oath often haunt the Jieshi, if you want to refine the elixir, you need to get the mantra of the two immortals, and the minister also has to collect medicinal materials in the mountains and forests, these things are not available in Xianyang, if there is less than one can not be refined, please see your Majesty!" When Emperor Qin heard that he still had to get the mantra of the immortals and the things he needed, he agreed to Lu Sheng's request, and then asked the officials to take out a large sum of money from the treasury and reward Lu Sheng for alchemy. Lu Sheng was overjoyed, and after taking the money, he hurriedly left Xianyang.

The first emperor engaged in the matter of seeking immortals, and he had long forgotten about Bolangsha. Zhang Liang, who lived in Xiapi, saw that the limelight had passed at this time, so he moved to a secluded place outside the city to live. This place is not far from Xiapi City, and it is a beautiful place. When everyone came here, they settled down, reclaimed the fields, and built a beautiful farm yard. Trees are also planted around the yard, quiet and elegant, coupled with the simple folk customs, everyone coexists in harmony. Later, Zhang Liang took Shi Lizi's family over, and he treated his wife as if she were his own mother. After a long time and long nights, Zhang Liang began his ten-year career in seclusion.

One evening, Zhang Liang went out for a walk alone. At this time, the autumn wind is blowing, and the field is already golden. Zhang Liang came to the bank of the Yishui River not far from his residence with great interest, the Yishui River is not very wide, but it is crystal clear, and the scenery on both sides of the river is beautiful. Zhang Liang walked along the riverbank and found a small bridge leading to the other side of the river, this bridge is called 'Yuanqiao' by the locals, the bridge is not wide, and it is made of wood. The trees on both sides of the bridge are shaded, and there are Qihua Yao grass everywhere, mottled and scattered, and the beauty is like a golden picture. Zhang Liang walked up to the bridge, enjoying the scenery, and suddenly heard the sound of a shepherd boy playing the pipe flute on the back of an ox. Zhang Liang couldn't help but think of his hometown and his relatives. Although I believe in beauty instead of my soil, how can I stay less! ’

Zhang Liang stood on the bridge deck, sometimes bowing his head and contemplating, sometimes looking up to the sky and howling: he thought that although the unification war of Qin was over, he could claim to have contributed to the three emperors, but the first emperor of Germany and the five emperors was a domineering monarch who did not sympathize with the suffering of the people. He must be killed before he can cause great harm to the country, but after a year of hard work, something goes wrong in Bolangsha, which leads to the destruction of his ambition and the death of his brother. The elder brother said, 'The world can be without me, but it can't be without a virtuous brother,' which always made him uneasy. Now that he has come all the way here to avoid trouble, he has also buried his name incognito, and what are you talking about opposing Qin and Fuhan, it seems that the grand cause in my heart is about to come to naught. If you sink for such a long time, how can you be worthy of your brother's spirit in heaven. When Zhang Liang thought of this, he fell into a vast contemplation......

"The water of the waves is clear, and you can wet my hair; The water of the waves is turbid, and it can turbid my feet. Suddenly, a desolate and mournful voice came and interrupted his thoughts. Zhang Liang raised his eyes and saw an old man in a yellow-brown robe walking lightly on a pair of crane-headed crutches. When he showed his face, Zhang Liang found that he had a silver beard and frosty sideburns, which was extraordinary, like a god descending. The old man held a cane in his right hand, stroked the railing with his left hand, looked around in the distance, and sat down on the railing at the head of the bridge. However, the old man's next action made Zhang Liang feel funny: after the old man sat firmly, he raised Erlang's legs, and the shoe on his right foot hung on the toe and kept shaking, like playing a bamboo board, and he was still humming a little song in his mouth. Suddenly, the shoes that hit the bamboo board flew out of their toes and fell through the gap in the bridge deck, and the old man seemed to be full of care.

Zhang Liang almost laughed out loud when he saw this scene, he was being proud, who expected the old man to turn around unceremoniously and say loudly: "Hey! Young man, go down and pick up the shoes for my father! Zhang Liang was stunned, thinking that this old lady was unreasonable, how could he summon people he didn't know? But after thinking about it, he was an old man after all, and it was nothing to serve him, so he said, "The old man waits, I'll go get it." So he ran under the bridge, picked up the shoe from the mud, and walked up.

Zhang Liang walked in front of the old man and was about to hand him the shoes, but he never expected that the old man would raise his big feet and say unceremoniously: "Put on the old father!" Zhang Liang was stunned again, and wanted to throw away his shoes and beat him, but suddenly thought: That is too rude, how can you make a move on the old man? If he is beaten, his family will come to the door and it will be troublesome, and besides, I have already picked up his shoes, so I will do the good thing to the end, anyway, he has unceremoniously stretched out his stinky feet and waited for me to wear them. Zhang Liang bent down, knelt in front of the old man, respectfully put on his shoes, and then stood up. The old man had a satisfied smile on his face, but he got up and turned away without even saying a kind word. Zhang Liang looked at the old man very puzzled.

At this time, it was also dark, Zhang Liang was about to leave, and suddenly found that the old man had turned back again, and he came straight to Zhang Liang and said: "You kid still has some patience in doing things, and he may open up after teaching." In this way, in the morning of five days, you will come here early to meet the old man, I have something to say to you! After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and left. Zhang Liang hurriedly agreed, and seemed to have an irrepressible sense of excitement, and watched the old man disappear into the twilight, only to find that the stars in the sky had also flickered, and then he walked home with great doubts. That night, he recalled what happened on the bridge over and over again, and kept wondering in his heart who this old man was. What for? What's the matter? What will be said in five days?

With questions, Zhang Liang finally waited until the dawn of the fifth day. That morning, after he got up, he rushed to the bridge to make an appointment, and as he walked, he thought: Could it be that the old man was sent by the government to arrest me? But how is it possible, how can an old birthday star like a fairy be an errand for the government? He must not be a bad person, and he is definitely not here to arrest me? So I slowed down. But when he came to the bridge, he found that the old man was standing on the bridge before him, and he was watching the morning light with his head held high. Zhang Liang was very uneasy in his heart, hurriedly stepped forward, cautiously came to the old man's side, and saluted: "The old man asked the younger generation to come, what do you teach?" The old man's answer surprised Zhang Liang, and he said unceremoniously: "You are also late for a date with the old man, what is the reason!?" After speaking, the old man threw up his sleeves and left, and then left a sentence: "If you kid is sincere, come here early to meet the old man in the morning five days!" After saying that, he hurried down the bridge and walked.

Zhang Liang stared blankly at the back of the old man leaving, feeling very uneasy, until the old man's figure was completely invisible, and he was still standing there in a daze. This mysterious old man filled Zhang Liang with a magical reverie: he must not be an ordinary person, there must be something important for me to do. But I was so late. See you in five days, I must get ahead of him and never let him down again. At this time, the morning glow had already sprinkled the sky, the sun also showed a red smiling face, the surroundings were very beautiful, everything was bathed in warm sunlight, Zhang Liang stood in the morning breeze for a long time......

Five days later, in the morning, Zhang Liang left early, and this time when he walked to the bridge, it was almost dawn, and he was rejoicing in his heart. But when he walked up to the bridge, he found that the mysterious old man had come to the bridge before him. Zhang Liangxin was shocked and felt incredible, so he walked up to the old man with anxiety, and without waiting to speak, the old man suddenly said angrily: "Your kid is late again, it's really insincere, come back in five days!" After the old man finished speaking, he walked away without looking back. Zhang Liang hurriedly said: "Old man, please don't be angry, it's definitely not that the younger generation is intentionally late, it's really beyond my expectations, you always have something to ask for advice, I am definitely not a person who doesn't talk about faith, I hope to stay?" But no matter how religiously Zhang Liang relented, it would be useless, and the old man disappeared without a trace after a while. Zhang Liang looked ahead in dismay, feeling ashamed in his heart, and thought: It's so rude to meet the old man and be late twice, I'm young, how can I be like this? He regretted being depressed for most of the day, and waited until dawn before he drooped his head and went back.
