What did Zhong Hanli, one of the Eight Immortals, do before he became an immortal?

Han Zhongli's compound surname is Zhongli, his single name is Quan, and he is from Yantai. Some people say that he lived in the Han Dynasty, while others say that he was born in the Five Dynasties. Han Zhongli was just born, like a three-year-old child, with a round head, a broad forehead, deep eye sockets, long eyebrows, a tall nose, thick ears, a big mouth, and a red face. . On the seventh day, he ate like the big kids and ran so fast that no kid could catch up with him.

Later he grew up and became a general. In a war, he was defeated. He drove his horse alone and fled. Under the guidance of a foreign monk, he met Mr. Lehua, who was wearing a white deer fur and holding a Qingli staff. He learned from him the method of cultivating Taoism and becoming an immortal. He also received guidance from immortal masters such as Huayang Zhenren and Wang Xuanfu, and finally became an immortal. Settled in the cave at the top of Zhongnan Mountain.

One summer, the weather was unbearably hot, and Han Zhongli was so hot that he exposed his chest and belly. He heard that the Qixingyan cave in Guilin was not only fun, but also very cool, so he traveled to Guilin. Han Zhongli came to Qixingyan excitedly. He and many tourists were about to enter the cave, but were stopped outside by a group of guards. The old people who were already playing in the cave were also kicked out. I heard that Uncle Erguo was coming to play, so the common people had to get out of the way.

Everyone was filled with anger after hearing this. Han Zhongli thought to himself: Uncle Erguo, I have to vent my anger for everyone, so that you can't show off your authority but become embarrassed!

It turned out to be the second eldest son of the Cao family. Everyone called him Cao Er. This Cao Er had a sister who became a princess, so he called himself Uncle Erguo. At this moment, he was eager to go into the cave to play. Han Zhongli raised the big sunflower fan in his hand, pointed it at him and fanned it gently. "Hoo!" A strong wind blew Cao Er back about ten steps, and he fell down and squatted down. The tourists burst out laughing. The guards quickly helped Cao Er up, and one of the sharp-eyed ones said: "Look, uncle Daguo is here too."

"Second brother, you can just play when you come, how can you drive away all the people?" Are you leaving?" Upon hearing this, Han Zhongli realized that this great uncle's words were very different from Cao Er's. Cao Erke got angry: "Brother, the common people stink all over me, and I'm afraid of the fumes!" As he said that, he walked forward again, and Han Zhongli slapped him lightly again. Cao Er took ten steps back and fell on his butt again. Squat. This time he could see clearly that it was a fat man who was causing trouble, so he pointed at Han Zhongli and cursed: "You stinky beggar, how dare you fight against my uncle from the Second Kingdom and risk your life?"

Han Zhongli said with a smile: "You play with yours, and I play with mine. The water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river." "Then, why did you slap me twice with a broken fan?" "It's weird. I slapped mine. Fan, why did you fall in love?" Cao Er became even more angry: "I, I'm here to play, and you, get out of here! My uncle from the Second Kingdom came to play in the mountains and rivers today. Xishan and Chuanshan; visit Duxiu Peak, Diecai Mountain, and Xiangbi Mountain tomorrow; and visit Hua Mountain, Bilian Peak, and Moon Mountain the day after tomorrow. You are not allowed to visit these places for three days!”

Tourists. They were very angry after hearing this. Han Zhongli said: "That won't work! You are too overbearing!" Cao Er said: "Overbearing? Huh, here comes someone, catch him and take the fan!" Uncle Daguo stopped him loudly: "No arrests, no You're going to bully the people!" "Okay, are you colluding with this fat man to make me look bad?"

At this moment, Han Zhongli stood forward and said, "Guilin's landscape is beautiful to everyone. Play. Don't be afraid, come into the cave, I'm here!" The tourists became bold and walked inside. The guards tried to stop them, but Han Zhongli slapped them a few times, and they fell far and wide. Cao Er was so angry that he came to arrest Han Zhongli himself. Han Zhongli slapped them a few times, and they fell far and wide. Cao Er was so angry that he came to arrest Han Zhongli himself.

Han Zhongli strode into the cave with long strides. Cao Er chased him, and Uncle Da Guo chased Cao Er again: "Second brother, stop! Stop right there!" Cao Er was not willing to listen. The further Han Zhongli walked into the cave, the cooler he felt. He flicked it casually, and the fan in his hand flew out and stuck to the stone wall. Han Zhongli stopped, turned around and said, "Cao Er, if you can take off my fan, we will all go out. You can play alone." Cao Er thought to himself, this is not easy.

He stepped forward and dug hard. His fingers drew blood, but it was no use. The big sunflower fan was still clinging to the stone wall. Uncle Da Guo advised: "Second brother, stop picking, you are making people laugh!" "You, it's you, bend your arms outwards!" Amid everyone's laughter, Cao Er had no choice but to sneak away with his guards.

Han Zhongli and the tourists happily played in the cave for a while, and had a very cordial conversation with the great uncle. Later, the great uncle Guo became one of the Eight Immortals, and people called him Cao Guojiu. Han Zhongli's big sunflower fan, he stepped forward and took it off with a gentle touch. But to this day, the imprint of the Big Sunflower Fan still remains on the stone wall of the Seven Star Rocks in Guilin. If you don’t believe me, when you travel to Guilin and go to Qixingyan to look for the stone wall opposite the “Chumi Mortar”, you will definitely see the imprint of the sunflower fan. The surface of the fan is so black that it looks like it has been painted. Probably because of the passage of time, the mark on the fan handle has disappeared, so people also call it "the sunflower fan without a handle".
