He is 100 of a foot long, with loose hair, golden locks and armor, five-colored turtles standing at his feet, and his eyes are like lightning, as well as two generals of Tortoise and Snake and the golden couple who recorded the merits and demerits of the Three Realms.

The Taoist scriptures say: Zhenwu the Great is the eighty-second incarnation of the old gentleman, born in Jingle Palace, a paradise without desire in Rhoda, and the son of the king. The queen of Jingle Kingdom dreamed that she was pregnant after swallowing the sun. Fourteen months later, she gave birth to a prince. The king and queen liked him very much and named him "Tai Xuan". Taixuan showed his talent at an early age. At the age of ten, he could read all kinds of books and never forgot them. The king and queen regard it as the apple of their eye. However, Tai Xuan only wants to practice, is devoted to the Tao, and vows to sweep away all demons.
