Legend has it that when the yellow fox spirit was about to achieve enlightenment, it was struck by the Thunder God but was saved by the Heavenly Master's Mansion. Heavenly Master Xujing, and since then vowed to observe fasts and precepts. It manifested its divine power in the Song Dynasty to help the 35th Heavenly Master eradicate a plague, in the Yuan Dynasty to help the 36th Heavenly Master pray for rain, and in the Ming Dynasty to help the 43rd Heavenly Master capture demons and cure evil.
