Lie Xian Zhuan — 赤松子 (Chi Songzi)
列仙传·赤松子
原文 Original Chinese
Chi Songzi was a rainmaster during the time of Shen Nong. He consumed water jade to teach Shen Nong, and he could enter fire and burn himself. He often went to the Kunlun Mountains, frequently staying in the stone chamber of Xi Wangmu, moving up and down with the wind and rain. The younger daughter of Emperor Yan followed him, also attained immortality, and they both left together. During the reign of Gaoxin, he again served as a rainmaster. The current rainmasters are originally from him.
