Emperor Taiwu of the Yin Dynasty sent the medicine officer to the Queen Mother of the West to seek the elixir of immortality. They had no food, and they had to eat solid wood and wear wood bark. They had no female relatives. The Lord of Heaven took pity and gave stones to everyone to ask for children. Those who were pious asked for them and gave birth to two sons. They came out from the back...
Is this move of the Heavenly Lord bringing blessings to those who are suffering from misfortune, or is it a punishment for those who want to defy heaven?
