There was a young man named Xu Zhen Jun who enjoyed hunting. One day, he was hunting on a hill and shot a young deer with his arrow. Not long after, he saw a doe running towards the injured deer without any thought of her own safety. She licked its wound with her tongue and looked extremely sorrowful.
Not long after, she laid down and died. Xu then brought the deers home. Upon slitting open the doe, he found that the liver and intestines were badly shattered. On witnessing this pitiful sight he was grief-stricken and broke down immediately.
Feeling remorseful. he destroyed his bows and arrows and vowed never to hunt again. All animals, just as human beings. love their offsprings. They would feel extremely sorrowful when they were separated from their loved ones. The doe loved her injured fawn deeply and thus could not hear to leave him.
The pain and sorrow overwhelmed her and she died piteously. Later, Xu was promoted to he Jing-yangs Magistrate due to his filial piety and integrity. However, he left his job to lead a life or seclusion when he found that the government of the Jing Dynasty to be incompetent.
Ill' followed Wu-men to the mountain to practise the Path. Upon accomplishing the Immortal Path. he traveled widely helping people with his Taoist magical art.
In the second year of Tai-kang during the reign of the Emperor Xiao- Wu of the Jing Dynasty. he attained the Genuine Path at the Western Mountain in the state of Hong Zhou. After his death. he continued to relieve the sufferings of the people through other forms. The Song Emperor thus conferred him the title 'The Wondrous Spiritual Power of Zhen-jun".
