In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu An, the grandson of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, succeeded his father as King of Huainan at the age of sixteen.
Liu An is a good man who wants to live forever. Therefore, he spared no expense to recruit Jianghu alchemists to cultivate himself. One day, eight people came to visit, but when the doorman saw that they were eight white-haired old people, he despised their immortality and didn't inform them. Hachi laughed at this and became a teenager with an octagonal face and peach blossoms.
The janitor was frightened and told the king of Huainan at once. Hearing this, Liu An quickly put on his shoes and greeted him barefoot. Eight has become an old man again. After being respectfully invited to sit inside, Liu An asked their names.
It turned out to be Wen Wuchang, Wu Qide, Zhi, Shou Qianling, Ye Wanchun, Xiu and Cen Yifeng. Bagong introduced his skills one by one: painting land as a river, turning soil into mountains, manipulating dragons, exorcising ghosts and gods, coming and going without a trace, ever-changing, calling for rain, turning stone into gold and so on.
Liu An was overjoyed. He immediately worshipped Hachigong as a teacher and painstakingly cultivated the elixir of life on the mountain outside the north gate of Beijing, which is today's Hachigong Mountain.
At that time, Huainan was rich in high-quality soybeans, and the villagers here had the habit of using soybean milk ground from Pearl Springs on the mountain as a drink since ancient times. When in Rome, Liu An always likes to drink a bowl every morning.
One day, Liu An was watching an alchemy by the fireside with a bowl of soybean milk in his hand, but he forgot the soybean milk bowl in his hand. When he made a mistake, soybean milk splashed on a small piece of gypsum used for alchemy by the stove. Soon, the gypsum disappeared, but the liquid soybean milk became a pool of tender things.
The show of Bagong Middle School was tasted boldly for three days and found it delicious. Unfortunately, there are too few. Can you recreate something for everyone to taste? Liu An had the soybean milk he hadn't finished drinking in the pan brought, crushed the gypsum and stirred it into the soybean milk. At that time, a pot of whisked and tender things came out. Liu is called "weird, weird".
This is the homonym of the original name "Li Qi" and "strange" of Bagongshan tofu.
Later, it was refined into an elixir, and Liu Anyi said in Bagong's words, sacrifice to the mountain, be buried in the golden land, and ascend to heaven by day. Some chickens and dogs lick the remaining elixirs in the blast furnace, and they all go to heaven with them. The myth that "one person gets the word, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven" has been handed down; It also left Bagongshan tofu that benefited future generations.
