Who's Zhang Tianshi?

Zhang Tianshi refers to Zhang Daoling.

Zhang Daoling (34-1February 22, 56), Fu Han, formerly known as Ling, was the founder of Zhengyi Alliance Wei Dao, and was born in Fengxian County, Eastern Han Dynasty (now Fengxian County, Xuzhou, Jiangsu).

The old gentleman in Taishang "taught Buddhism for three days and made his life a heavenly teacher", while the later Buddha called him "the bodhi old zu heavenly teacher", "the real person" and "the three-day teaching assistant exorcist", and he was Zhang Tianshi, a wise god. The book "The Old Xiangzi Jules" has more than 3,000 disciples and 24 schools, which laid the foundation of the Stone Heaven. Zhang Daoling, Ge Xuan, Xu Xun, and Handcudgel are called the Four Kings.

The background of Zhang Daoling's founding of Shi Tian Daoism: At that time, in Bashu area, primitive Ba people believed in primitive witchcraft and sacrificed their lives to the people on a large scale. And these Dharma masters who worship ghosts and gods (scientific name: evil spirits) gather people to collect money and do evil.

Zhang Tianshi took two apprentices, Wang Chang and Zhao Sheng, and the Huangdi Jiuding Dan Jing to practice in Beimang Mountain, and put down the witch religion that harmed the people. This is the prototype of Zhang Tianshi's story of breaking the ghost soldiers with the sword of the old gentleman, which spread in Sichuan and Chongqing.
