There are fairy tales about her, including Magu's birthday present:
A long time ago, there was a hardworking and kind woman named Ma Gu. After his mother died, his father Ma Qiu became very bad-tempered.
Once, Ma Gu picked a peach in the mountains. Peaches were the top fruit at that time. Ma Gu couldn't bear to eat, so she held the peach in her arms and prepared to take it to her father.
On her way home, Ma Gu saw an old woman in yellow clothes fall ill on the side of the road. The onlookers said, "If we can give her something to eat, maybe she will survive." But everyone just pays lip service and doesn't do it. Seeing that the old woman was dying, Ma Gu quickly took out peaches from her pocket and fed them to her.
After a while, the old woman really woke up, but she still had no strength. She said to Ma Gu, "Good boy, thank you very much. Can you cook some porridge for me? " There was a famine and food was very precious. But Ma Gu readily agreed: "I'm leaving now, please wait for me for a while." The horse hurried home.
Unfortunately, Ma Qiu knew about it. Ma Qiu was very angry and shut Ma Gu up. However, Ma Gu couldn't help worrying about the old woman. In the middle of the night, Ma Gu quietly went out with porridge. But when she came to the side of the road, there was no sign of the old woman. In the moonlight, where the old woman sat, there was a peach pit.
Ma Gu had to pick up the peach stone and go home. Ma Gu planted peach stones in the yard. Strange to say, peach trees grow very fast, and the next year they are full of big and red peaches. Magu used these peaches to help the fleeing old people. Strangely, after eating peaches, these old people not only doubled their spirits, but also lost their previous minor problems.
This year, Machu made great contributions because of the war, became a big official and was in charge of the new palace. He ordered the craftsmen to work day and night. He stipulated that craftsmen could rest only when the rooster crowed. Ma Gu felt sorry for them, so she hid in the henhouse and imitated the cock crow.
When Ma Qiu knew about it, he gave his daughter a good beating and locked her up. Magu wants to escape, but there is no way. At this moment, a window opened and Ma Gu saw an old woman in yellow. It turns out that she was born from heaven. Last time, she left Xiantao Nuclear and asked Ma Gu to help those poor old people.
Later, Ma Gu became immortal with the old woman. When Ma Gu first gave the Queen Mother a birthday, she only brought an extremely old jar filled with longevity wine brewed by Ganoderma lucidum on the Zhu Jiang River. As soon as the lid of the altar was opened, the fragrance was overflowing. All the immortals who came to celebrate their birthday praised Ma Gu for her ingenuity and the delicious food of the Empress Dowager. As soon as the queen mother was happy, she named Ma Gu "the immortal".
Extended data:
The origin of this goddess is very early and the record is very clear. Legend has it that in the east of China, there was a man named Wang, who was very knowledgeable and worked as an official. Later, he began to practice and became a fairy. His sister, a Magu, is very beautiful and has become a fairy.
It was also said that she cultivated immortals in Magu Mountain, Nancheng County, Jiangxi Province, and later this mountain naturally became one of the sacred places revered by Taoism. ?
