When I was a child, I heard adults say the myth and legend that "the eight immortals cross the sea, each showing their magical powers", and I have also seen "Journey to the East" corresponding to "Journey to the West". The Eight Immortals are portrayed as kind, beautiful, and brave beings, each with the ability to reach out to the heavens and lend a helping hand to help the people. However, is this so?Among the Eight Immortals, there is a person who has been criticized, and that is Uncle Cao Guo.
Before going into details** Uncle Cao Guo, let's first understand who these eight immortals are. The concept of the Eight Immortals was finally determined by Wu Yuantai in Ming **'s "Journey to the East", including Tie Guan Li, Zhong Hanli, Zhang Guolao, Lu Dongbin, He Xiangu, Lan Caihe, Han Xiangzi, and Cao Guoshu. Prior to this, Lü Dongbin was the most famous, revered as "Lü Zu" by Taoism, and was the core figure of the later Eight Immortals.
Tie Guan Li is the head of the Eight Immortals, a cultivator in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and was appreciated by Taishang Laojun to come to the immortal class;Zhong Hanli is Zhong Liquan, who was named "Zhengyang Patriarch" by Quanzhen Dao, and lived in the alternate period between the Five Dynasties and the Song Dynasty;Zhang Guo is the oldest, his real name is Zhang Guo, and it is recorded in the "New Tang Book" and "Old Tang Book" that he has the secret art of immortality but does not respond to the emperor's call.
Lu Dongbin has already introduced that He Xiangu is the only woman among the Eight Immortals, who is an ordinary peasant woman who accidentally eats fairy fruits and becomes an immortal;Lan Cai and cynicism, from the end of the fifth dynasty to the Song Dynasty, loved to beg in rags and give the property to poor families;Han Xiangzi is said to be Han Yue's nephew, who is good at blowing the dong flute, getting Zhong Liquan, and Lu Dongbin favoring him to learn Xi martial arts.
Judging from the deeds of the Eight Immortals, they are not all big people who worry about the country and the people, and they have the color of adventure, which is in line with ordinary people's fantasy of becoming immortals. Perhaps this is the reason why the Eight Immortals are widely spread among the general population. However, regardless of whether other immortals take the common people of the world as their own responsibility, at least they are not evildoers, except for Uncle Cao Guo.
Uncle Cao Guo is the youngest and least qualified compared to other immortals, and he also appeared the latest. His prototype is Cao Jingxiu, the younger brother of Empress Cao, a relative of the Northern Song Dynasty, who was named the king of Jiyang County, and his ancestor was Cao Bin, the founding general who followed Zhao Kuangyin. Uncle Cao Guo was a representative of the aristocratic ruling class, and naturally stood on the opposite side of the common people.
Usually, in order to be praised by the common people, such a person must make great contributions to the country, nation, etc., otherwise the people will be afraid of him. However, Uncle Cao Guo did not leave a record for good deeds, but was famous for his evil deeds of bullying men and women and running rampant.
Uncle Cao Guo has a younger brother named Cao Huahua, that is, Uncle Erguo. This uncle of the second kingdom has been stubborn since he was a child, and when he grew up, he relied on his sister to marry the emperor and became more presumptuous. Uncle Cao Guo doted on this younger brother very much, Cao Huahua did something bad, and Uncle Cao Guo not only did not punish him, but tried to clean up the aftermath for him.
Once, a showman took his wife to Beijing to take the exam. Xiucai is high, his wife is beautiful and generous, knowledgeable, and can be called a talented woman. However, Cao Huahua set her eyes on the beauty of Xiucai's wife and sent someone to kidnap her.
Soon after, Cao Huahua's evil deeds were discovered. In order to deal with the aftermath, Uncle Cao Guo decided to throw Xiucai's wife into a well and drown. However, Xiucai's wife escaped, mistakenly believing that Uncle Cao Guo was Bao Zheng who sought justice for her.
Uncle Cao Guo was shocked and ordered someone to kill Xiucai's wife. Thinking she was dead, his men threw her body into the wilderness. However, the Xiucai wife survived by luck and found Bao Zheng to seek justice, hoping for justice.
After Bao Zheng found out the truth of the matter, he did not hesitate to put Uncle Cao Guo and Uncle Erguo in prison. Song Renzong learned that his uncle was in trouble, and Empress Cao asked Bao Zheng to release him. However, even Renzong failed to save Cao Huahua directly.
Since Cao Huahua is dead, in order to save another great uncle, Renzong can only give amnesty to the world and let Cao Guo's uncle escape. Although Uncle Cao Guo was not the fuse of the incident, he cleaned up the aftermath of Cao Huahua, showed the same behavior as a bully, and became a person of evil deeds.
However, no one could have imagined that Uncle Cao Guo, who had walked in front of the ghost gate and was frightened, retreated in the mountains and forests, and happened to meet Han Zhongli and Lu Dongbin, two great immortals. Thinking that Uncle Cao Guo had a fate with cultivating immortals, they gave him the secret book of cultivating immortals, and finally made him an immortal and became the most famous of the eight immortals.
