Chapter 128: Chen Tuan and Pure Yang Both Offer Assistance

The Daoist Equal to Heaven arrived at Guan Jiangkou and once again encountered an old acquaintance. Who could this person be?

Later generations would speak of this revered elder through a poem, which goes:

Ninefold decrees descend, and the purple seal proclaims, content with the depth of skill, he finds joy in secluded tranquillity.

The mountain hues frame his courtyard like a painted screen, the pine sings with a thousand ravines, as if they were strings of a zither.

Without desire for official rank, nor to ascend the high platforms, his aspiration for immortality brings him to the cave's door.

Regal adornments are but clouds drifting past; worldly thoughts he abandons, wishing to sleep for a thousand years amidst the Three Peaks.
