Since the five emperors were all Han Confucians, they used the temple to live temporarily. On the night of the fourth day of the fifth lunar month, when Haizi handed over, the five officials felt tired and sleepy, but they seemed to be sleeping but not dreaming. Suddenly, they saw meritorious officers falling from the sky, and a jade edict was read out: "The people of Fuzhou, the whole province, are evil. There are many good deeds, and the gods of the five plague temples are ordered to send plagues inside and outside the provincial capital. The gods of the five plagues quickly go to the big wells with five water sources in the provincial capitals and throw plague poison into the wells, so that all the evildoers in the provincial capitals will suffer from the plague. Died tragically. After the reading was finished, the meritorious officer disappeared in an instant. The "five people" woke up from fear and talked to each other about what they had witnessed.

According to legend, the Five Blessings Emperor Ying Linggong takes turns in charge of the two realms of Yin and Yang every year. He has great power and heals countless people, so he is famous in Fujian and Taiwan. According to the history of Bailong Temple and Wuling Hall in Taiwan, , the Wufu Emperor, was born in the Yuan Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Taizong, five of them were unsuccessful candidates. On their way back to their hometowns, they met by chance and chatted with each other. Because they had similar interests, they became sworn friends in Jinlan. One day, the five of them stayed at Bailong Temple in Fuzhou and chatted until late at night. Leave happily. Liu Yuanda, one of the Five Blessing Emperors, after returning to his room, heard someone talking in the air at the first watch, saying that thieves in Fuzhou were rampant and killing people, and the people deserved the punishment of plague. In accordance with the will of God, the Five Plague Emperors were specially sent to surrender. The plague was in the wells. When Liu Yuanda heard the words, he immediately woke up his brothers and told everyone what they had heard. Therefore, after discussion, the five people decided to try their best to save the city. All the residents of Fuzhou City made an appointment to go to the city to guard the five wells. In case someone drank from the well, the people of Fuzhou did not believe what the five brothers said. When dissuasion failed, the five brothers Zhang, Zhong, Liu, Shi, Zhao and Zhao showed no mercy. May the people of Fuzhou die miserably from the plague, so they all threw themselves into the well and drank the poisoned water. When the residents saw the scene, and then picked up the dead bodies, the faces of the five brothers turned into black, white, green and yellow. There are five different colors of red and red, and the hands and feet are spread out to form a large character. When the residents of Fuzhou saw the scene of the five brothers, they also believed that there was a plague in the well, but they regretted it. When they wanted to put the five brothers into the coffin, because of the brothers and feet, It was stretched out into a large Chinese character, and no matter how hard it was rubbed, it could not be restored to its original shape, so I had to kneel down and throw a 筊 to ask for instructions. As a result, the Holy Spirit ordered that the corpses of the five brothers be placed in the "Grand Master" chair, and everyone followed the instructions of the Holy 筊. , when the five brothers sat down on the "Grand Master" chair, their expressions immediately transformed and became as soft as a living person, and their eyes were as majestic as lightning. At that time, the matter was reported to the county magistrate, who came to check. The residents of Fuzhou threw the five brothers into a well and committed suicide to save all living beings. Soon the county magistrate reported it to the court in the Ming Dynasty.
