In those days, all knyazhichi using noble origins and wealth, was revered for the cause of entertainment in the range of beauties, hunting with dogs and racing. Only Anh was restrained and modest, diligently studied science, combining it with the lessons in fortune telling, and alchemy. Across the Middle Kingdom found it daosskih scribes and scholars alchemists and asked them to pay to come to the court, regardless of distance. And one of its gates appeared Bagun – ubelenny-haired old man. Janitor reported the prince, and he commanded to test the old difficult issues, saying: «My Prince primarily seeking the teachings of life-the way for long life and eternal youth. But you, the first-born, already old and, therefore, do not own the art to prevent the destruction, and not in your power of youth. How can pronzit mind the case of three great ancestors, and the establishment of the Five lords, the subtleties of eight trigrams and the teachings of the nine peaks, to penetrate the very depths, to reach the distant suburbs? Do not exhaust your mind whether it is not exhausted whether natural forces? That said, I have only the most modest and the rest, and I dare not tell! »Bagun, smiling, replied:« I’ve heard that Prince fear decent people and is excited to meet them, throwing all cases.

I can not go places, traveling with the wind and rain, rose from their seats, up in the clouds and fog; draw upon the earth and thus run river, pour the ground, and so build mountains and peaks. I can bring down high mountain, around a deep source, roll a tiger and leopard, to call the dragon and king spirits. I can share the body and change the appearance. To exist or disappear, the white day turned into night. I can saddle the cloud and walk the emptiness, to cross the sea, ascend to the waves. I can walk into the fire and did not burn, the water did not sop. No knives, no boom I do not take. In the winter cold, I do not cold in the summer heat – not hot. In my thoughts of animals and birds, grasses and trees, the darkness of things will be born and mature. I can pereplavit clay into gold and silver in the lead, float in the space above the Great purity, be everything we wish Duke …». Then, Bagun and Liu Anh days and nights to demonstrate their skills with each other, and then handed Bagun Anyu «Canon of nefritovom juice and kinovarnoy pill» of the 36 scrolls – a manual for the production of elixir of immortality. But after some time and Bagun Anh, was the great sacrifice and then to the mountain, in broad daylight vozneslis at the sky. On the rocks on which they Go, left, and they are visible today. After Anh went to heaven and became immortal, people believe that this is achievable.
