In the novel The Journey to the West, the story of Wei Zhi becoming a Pluto is recorded: the old dragon king of Jinghe near Chang 'an made a bet with a fortune teller, and in order to win the bet, he threw rain at will and broke the dogma. The Jade Emperor wanted to behead him, sent Wei Zhi to supervise and beheaded the old dragon at three o'clock in the afternoon. The day before, Lao Long asked Li Shimin to intercede for him, and Li Shimin readily agreed. The next day, Li Shimin announced Wei Zhi to North Korea and left Wei Zhi to play Go with him. Unexpectedly, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Wei Zhi dozed off, and the soul in the dream beheaded the old dragon. The ghost of the old dragon lingered, resenting Emperor Taizong for breaking his word, and making trouble in the palace every day, which made Li Shimin's six gods uneasy.

Knowing that the emperor was afraid, Wei Zhi sent two generals and Weichi Gong to guard the palace gate. Sure enough, the old dragon dared not come to the front door to make trouble. But a few days later, Lao Long came to the back door of the palace to get even with Li Shimin, and Wei Zhi held a sword to guard the back door for Li Shimin, so that Lao Long never dared to make trouble again. Considering their hard work of guarding the door at night, please ask the painter to hang a portrait of Weichi Gong at the front door and a portrait at the back door. It still worked. This trick has also begun to spread among the people. Qin Qiong, Weichi Gong and Wei Zhi have become door gods, and Qin Qiong and Weichi Gong have put them on both sides and one side.
