Li Jing was a famous Tang Dynasty strategist who was also well-versed in literature. After he retired, many people thought he had become an enlightened being. In the “Extensive Records of the Taiping Era,” there is a story about him as an enlightened being.
There was a Taoist priest named Yiqing in Changshu County, Suzhou, in the year Dali of the Tang Dynasty. He often traveled to Jiaxing. One day, he stepped on a boat and was greeted by a strong, sweet scent. He suspected there was someone extraordinary on board. He surveyed everyone. They were all vendors except for an unusual man who was standing at the bow of the boat. He looked calm and serene.
