Shên Kung-pao, ashamed, could not reply; mounting his tiger, he made off; but as he left he hurled back a threat that the Chou would yet have their white bones piled mountains high at Hsi Ch'i. Subsequently Tzu-ya, carefully preserving the precious List, after many adventures succeeded in building the Fêng Shên T'ai, and posted the List up on it.
Huo Ch'i, lacking, on the other hand, the courage to go back and face his master, promptly made his escape to his native village. Shih-yin in fact, the husband as well as the wife seeing that their child had not come home during the whole night, readily concluded that some mishap must have befallen her.
Whereas Ch'i Yu, Kung Kung, Chieh Wang, Chou Wang, Shih Huang, Wang Mang, Tsao Ts'ao, Wen Wen, An Hu-shan, Ch'in Kuei and others were one and all destined to come into the world during a calamitous age. Those endowed with extreme benevolence set the world in order; those possessed of extreme maliciousness turn the world into disorder.
In this way Chou had brought the bulk of South China under its control without itself making any real contribution to that result. Unlike the Chinese state of Ch'i, Chou followed the old Toba tradition.
He is also called 'the God of the Stove. The origin of his worship, according to the legend, is that a Taoist priest, Li Shao-chün by name, of the Ch'i State, obtained from the Kitchen-god the double favour of exemption from growing old and of being able to live without eating.

"Are forsooth the devices 'the river Ch'i and the Chu Garden' not those of old authors?" insinuated Chia Cheng. "They are too stiff," replied Pao-yue. "Would not the four characters: 'a phoenix comes with dignified air, be better?"
In spite of this, about A.D. 555 great new Buddhist cave-temples were created in Lung-men, near Loyang, in imitation of the famous temples of Yün-kang. The fighting with the western empire, the Northern Chou state, still continued, and Ch'i was seldom successful.
"If you have nothing to do," he urged, "do let us go over to our place. I've got something more to ask you. It's this, there's in your worthy company some one called Ch'i Kuan, with a reputation extending at present throughout the world; but, unfortunately, I alone have not had the good luck of seeing him even once." "This is really," rejoined Chiang Yue-han with a smile, "my own infant name."
Shih-yin after hearing this message had no alternative but to banish the subject from his thoughts. In comfortable circumstances, time indeed goes by with easy stride. Soon drew near also the happy festival of the 15th of the 1st moon, and Shih-yin told a servant Huo Ch'i to take Ying Lien to see the sacrificial fires and flowery lanterns.
