How did Peng Zu die?

Ancient people prayed for a long life, but they couldn't resist the natural laws of birth, illness and death, so they invented a Peng Zu myth. There is a village in Xijing Town, Licheng County, Changzhi City, Shanxi Province, which is called Peng Zu's former residence and has Pengzu Temple, hence the name Pengzhuang.

Peng Zu is a legend in China. It is said that after living for more than 880 years, his wife has married more than 100 people, and he is still radiant and energetic. His last wife wanted to know why, so she said to Peng Zu, "Although I am young, my health is not as good as yours. Please tell me the secret of longevity, so that we can live together forever. "

Peng Zu looked at his lovely wife as beautiful as flowers and pure as jade and was happy for a while. He said, "It's no use telling you. It was because Lord Yan accidentally tore my name off the book of life and death and made a paper twist, so I am still alive. " Actually, Yan had already paid attention to Peng Zu, but he couldn't find his name, so he sent two kids to wash charcoal in the river in Peng Zu village.

It happened that Peng Zu's wife went down the river to wash clothes and saw two people washing charcoal. She also muttered: "Wash black carbon, wash black carbon, wash white black carbon to sell money." Peng Zu's wife said: "My husband lived for 880 years, and I have never heard that black charcoal can wash white."

The two children said they didn't believe it, so Peng Zu's wife told them the secret of Peng Zu's longevity, and the children immediately reported it to Yan. He found the paper twist and sent the heady ghost to hook Peng Zu to leave. People probably feel sorry for this, so there is a jingle: "Peng Zu lived for 880 years and couldn't tell his wife the truth".
