Lives of the Divine Immortals
葛洪 Ge Hong（283 — 343） · 东晋 · Eastern Jin Dynasty
九十二位神仙的传记——从彭祖的长寿秘诀到麻姑的沧海桑田，从壶公的袖里乾坤到刘安的鸡犬升天。道教修仙的信仰实录。
Biographies of 92 immortals — from Pengzu's longevity secrets to Magu's oceans-turned-mulberry-grounds, from the Gourd Master's pocket-palace to Liu An's chickens and dogs ascending to heaven.

Tale I
麻姑
Magu: Oceans to Mulberry Fields
沧海桑田 · 女仙
麻姑自言曾见东海三为桑田——她见过的大海变桑田就有三次，蓬莱之水也浅于往昔。时间在她眼中，不过是一场又一场的潮起潮落。
Magu has watched the Eastern Sea turn to mulberry fields three times over. In her eyes, the passage of a thousand years is merely the rhythm of tides.

Tale II
壶公
The Master of the Gourd
壶中天地 · 费长房
集市上的卖药老翁，日入之后跳入壶中——壶中别有天地，宫殿楼阁，宴饮如常。费长房窥见此景，遂拜师学艺。
An old medicine seller leaps into his gourd each evening — inside is a world of palaces and banquets. A young man named Fei Changfang witnesses this and begs to become his disciple.

Tale III
蓟子训
Ji Zixun and the Dead Child
起死回生 · 白发翁
蓟子训失手摔死邻家婴儿，众人为之悲伤。他却抱回婴儿，婴儿复活。数十年后，他仍是少年模样。
Ji Zixun accidentally drops a neighbor's baby, killing it. He carries the child away — and returns it alive. Decades later, he still looks like a young man.

Tale IV
左慈
Zuo Ci: The Daoist Trickster
戏弄曹操 · 隐身术
左慈在曹操宴席上变出松江鲈鱼、蜀中生姜，又化身羊群逃过追杀——道教方术的极致表演，也是对权力的戏谑。
Zuo Ci conjures perch from distant rivers and ginger from Sichuan at Cao Cao's banquet, then transforms into a flock of sheep to escape assassination — Daoist wizardry as political satire.

Tale V
刘安
Liu An: Ascension with Chickens and Dogs
鸡犬升天 · 淮南王
淮南王刘安得道升天，余药在庭中，鸡犬啄舐之，亦随之升天。"一人得道，鸡犬升天"的典故出处。
When Prince Liu An attained the Dao and ascended to heaven, his chickens and dogs ate the leftover elixir and rose with him — the origin of the Chinese idiom about undeserved favor.

Tale VI
王远与蔡经
Wang Yuan and Cai Jing
仙人下凡 · 麻姑之伴
仙人王远降临蔡经家，召麻姑同来。凡人见仙人宴饮，心生贪念——蔡经见麻姑手爪纤美，暗想用来搔背当佳。
The immortal Wang Yuan descends to a mortal's home and summons Magu to join him. The mortal Cai Jing, seeing Magu's beautiful nails, secretly imagines using them to scratch his back — and the immortals read his mind.

Tale VII
李八百
Li Babai: The Eight-Hundred-Year-Old
试炼弟子 · 丹道传承
李八百以八百岁高龄试炼弟子——三次考验，从挑水砍柴到毒蛇猛兽，考验的不是体力而是心性。
The eight-hundred-year-old immortal tests his disciple three times — with chores, with danger, with temptation. What he tests is not strength but character.

Tale VIII
彭祖
Pengzu: Secrets of Longevity
八百岁 · 养生之道
彭祖活了八百岁，历尧舜禹夏商周。世人问其长寿秘诀，他答：不过是不思虑、不营求、顺天地之和而已。
Pengzu lived 800 years, spanning the reigns of Yao, Shun, Yu, Xia, Shang, and Zhou. When asked his secret, he said: simply do not overthink, do not chase, and follow the harmony of heaven and earth.
