Title
Eighteen Luohans, Scene Seven: Immortal at the Foot of a Pine Tree
Description
An Immortal at the foot of a pine tree, attended by a servant with a ru-i scepter. Since he holds a pot from which curls the smoke of magic incense, he may be Li Tie-guai, legendary pupil of Lao Tze and Patron of Magic. The Immortal is summoning at the far end of his incense a bat-winged demon who bears, downward past the tree tops, two peonies, presumably for an Empress Immortal who sits in delighted anticipation before the Magician.
