Please check it out here Five Immortals by Shifu Hwang Once upon a time, there was a country village. A beautiful place located at the hill of Huang Mountain. There were four boys and one girl who had been friends since childhood. They grew up and saw each other every day in the same village. One day the girl became sick and seemed to be running out of chances to recover her health. The four men wept deeply for their friend. A Taoist passed by, heard their lamenting and asked for the reason why. The Taoist simply handed them a prescription which included several herbal names as: Ahryranthis Bidentatae Radix, Morindae Radix, Polygoni Multiflori Radix, Polygalae Radix, Rehmanniae Radix, Cuscutae Semen..etc. The girl took the Taoist's herbal formula and recoved fully. The five of them united and decided that "this man must be an immortal". Thus, they left their village and began to study immortality from their teacher. Today, all of the villagers still use this herbal formula, and claim that it came from 'the Five Immortals.' | |
