Legend has it that Xue was born in a poor family in his early years, and his mother was old. He lives by selling coal and charcoal in Longmenshan every day. There is a Gaimayu at the foot of Longmen Mountain, which is the only place to transport charcoal. There are beautiful scenery, birds and flowers, and cliffs like galloping horses. Because the layman can't see the mountain, it is named Shemayu. There is a dishuiya in Shemayu, which is named Sieve Cliff because of its perennial spring water and continuous rain. There is a boulder to the north of the cliff. According to legend, Guan Yunchang, a famous soldier of the Three Kingdoms, once set foot on this stone to fight, hence the name. Xue is in Daiyue Fei every day, drinking dew and eating wind, walking 40 miles from his hometown Fenhe Bay, passing by here and living on the back of Longmen Mountain. Longmen Mountain has rugged roads and steep mountains. Xue likes throwing stones and shooting pheasants and rabbits every day. Over time, he has developed a good arm strength, and can pick up charcoal blocks weighing 200 to 300 kilograms with both hands. He is naturally strong-willed and loves to fight injustice. One night, he went down the mountain with a big bag of coal on his back. Halfway up the mountain, he met two gangsters, who blocked the road and robbed a farmer who picked coal. The farmer begged, but the two gangsters punched and kicked and robbed the coal pick for money. Gui Ren shouted at him, but instead of listening, the two gangsters fought with Gui Ren. Gui Ren flew into a rage, punched the two gangsters black and blue, and they fled in panic. Gui Ren helped the farmer with a coal bag on his back and a coal burden on his shoulder, and escorted him down the mountain.
Xue goes out early and returns late. On the mountain road, he often met an old hunter as light as a swallow, with an arrow pot slung around his waist and a steel fork, carrying many prey. One day, when passing through Shemayu, Xue met the old hunter again. I heard the old hunter mutter, "Go straight to Mount Tai after crossing the sieve cliff, kill wolves and tigers during the day, and think about rise and fall at night." Hearing this, Gui Ren felt that the old hunter had some history, so he raised his hand and asked, "Dare you ask the old man, where did you get such high martial arts?" The old hunter replied, "The old man is useless and poor. He lives on the north slope and hunts for a living. Dare to ask who is young and strong, why is he as strong as an ox and can carry two or three hundred kilograms of coal? " Gui Ren replied: "Xiaoke lives in Fenhe Bay and supports his mother with charcoal every day." The old hunter said, "Young and strong, you still know filial piety and propriety so well, and you dare to resist injustice. Now the Sui Dynasty is dead, and the new Tang Dynasty is prosperous. Why not seek great things and serve the country? " Xue replied, "Xiao Ke has no ink on his chest and no skill. How does he serve the country? "
Xue learned from the teacher.
