When Huang Tianhua left Mount Erxian, Qingxu Daode Zhenjun granted him the Moye Sword, the Fire-Dragon Dart and the Heart-Piercing Nails. He rode into the Zhou camp on his jade qilin with all three stowed beside the saddle.
In the field Huang Tianhua fought at close quarters with the sword and then loosed the Fire-Dragon Dart or the Heart-Piercing Nails from his bag after a retreating enemy. After he was killed at Tong Pass his spirit went to the investiture terrace, and his weapons stayed with the army.
