列仙传·赤松子

📖 Biographies of Immortals#1 of 70🌐 English & Chinese

原文 Original Chinese

赤松子者,神農時雨師也。服水玉以教神農,能入火自燒。往往至崑崙山上,常止西王母石室中,隨風雨上下。炎帝少女追之,亦得仙,俱去。至高辛時,復為雨師。今之雨師本是焉。

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.
