Ci Guan worked in the village of Ping Jiao Yang (平角洋) in Yong Tai. One day, he ventured into a mountain in search of wood. In the depth of the forest, he saw two Sages/Immortals, with similar appearance and dressed in Taoist high priest robes playing chess. Beside the chess board there was a half red half green big peach. Ci Guan approaches and observes the game with interest. The Sage offer the peach to Ci Guan. After eating half of the peach, Ci Guan quietly discard the balance half peach as it don't taste good. On seeing this, one of the Sages immediately told Ci Guan to leave.
Ci Guan then left for home, carrying the day-collected wood. On the way, he rested at a pavilion. Nearby, there was a temple, Geng Yi Ting and there lived a famous Taoist High priest by the name of Master Fang Long Shu.
Ci Guan consulted this Master and related the day event. Master Fang Long Shu then explained that these two Sages/Immortals are non other than Tai Shang Lao Jun and Yuan Shi Tian Cun. And the half red half green peach was a three thousand years heavenly peach! If you (Ci Guan) had completely eaten the whole peach he would have gained deityhood and able to ride the cloud (that is, travel/fly on a cloud). However, since he only eat half the peach, you (Ci Guan) would have to cultivate and practice longer and do more good deeds in saving human sufferings and terminating devils and demons.
Ci Guan then asked the Master how could he meet these two Immortals again.
Ci Guan then begged the Master: I wish to go back to these two Sages/Immortals. Can you please assist me?
The Master said: Tai Shang Lao Cun already ascended to heaven. Yuan Shi Tian Cun resides in the Purple cloud pavilion also in heaven. You're still a human and can't ride the cloud. So how can you find them?
However, the Master advised. On the 16th day of the 8th lunar Month, you and your two brothers (Xiao Ming) of Xian You and Zhang Min (of Jiu Du), must go to Yang Jiao Zhou, Fuzhou and wait there. When you saw a boat in the middle of the river, the three of you can ride this magic boat which will take you to Lǘ shan (闾山) to learn and practice Taoist skills and martial arts and cultivates.

慈观挑柴下山，至半岭息肩时，遇见名山室法师龚龙树, 遂将详情禀告。
法师反问：“ 你可知道两位老者是谁？ ”
张答：“ 不知道 ”。
法师才说：“ 两位奕棋者，一为太上老君 ; 一为元始天尊。送给你吃的桃子是三千年才一 熟的蟠桃，你能全吃了就能升入仙界，腾云驾雾，遨游广宇，但你只吃了一半，暂时未能脱出尘缘，还须下一番修炼功夫。”
慈观后悔不及，乞求法师指点修炼之道，法师说：“等你到了十八岁那年的八月十六日午时，你可与仙游人肖明（信）、闽清人章 敏 ( 真 ) 到福州羊角洲等待，届时有一仙槎停泊江中，你三人可乘槎往江西闾山问道。”

He immediately realized that there’s an evil force presented. Ci Guan went there to exterminate this evil force. The battle with the Five demons is the most famous of Zhang Gong's feat.
Ci Guan learned from the locals that this day, the demons are taking a young maiden as its bride. In order to save the life of this poor maiden, Ci Guan disguised as the bride and sat on the bride sedan chair and was carried to the demon’s hideout in the mountain cave.
Upon reaching the demon hideout cave, Ci Guan revealed his true identity. Soon a ferocious battle begins. It was so violence that it caused huge sand storms. Rock flew in all directions. This fierce struggle goes on for a long time and as the demons had numerous assistances eventually Ci Guan was locked inside the cave. The demons set fires and burnt Ci Guan for seven days and seven nights till Ci Guan’ face turned black and his hair chared.
Ci Guan was totally exhaused and hungry. He said loudly, I'm not afraid of heat nor smoke. I'm only afraid that you (the demons) throw bun at me! On hearing this, the demons immediately threw buns (through a small openning) at Ci Guan. Ci Guan quickly ate all the buns and now having regained his energy, used a Taoist mantra/spell to called for help.
Soon, Lang Ming (Xiao Gong) arrived. He used his hammer and broke the rock that was blocking the cave entrance. His power was so great that one of the broken rocks flew and hit Ci Guan on his forehead, causing a huge swell.
Lang Ming was so embarrassed that his face turned red! When Lang Rui (Hong Gong) arrived, he saw what happened to Ci Guan and was so angry that his face turned green!
This is why people always depict Zhang Gong's face black with a huge swell on this forehead; Xiao Gong's face green and Zhang (Hong) Gong's face in red!
Ci Guan, Lang Ming and Lang Rui then combined their skills & power and finally subdued these 5 devils. These devils then become the Wu Tong Gui (Five Pass Devils) and kept as their protective assistances.
