Lu Fahe was a native of Bailizhou, Zhijiang during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Bailizhou once had a civil law and a lecture platform.

It is said that Lu Fahe has magic and has lived in seclusion in Bailizhou for a long time.

When the Hou Jing Rebellion was being quelled, Xiao Yi, the seventh son of Emperor Wu of Liang and King of Eastern Hunan, appointed Lu Fahe as the governor of Xinzhou.

Once, Hou Jing sent Ren Yue to Jiangling to attack Xiao Yi, the king of eastern Hunan. In order to repel Hou Jing's rebels and defend Jiangling, Lu Fahe took the initiative to ask for a fight. Knowing that Ren Yue was coming fiercely, Lu Fahe decided to ambush Ren Yue and kill him. When Ren Yue's soldiers swaggered into Lu Fahe's encirclement, an ambush suddenly arose, trapping Ren Yue in the middle. Although Ren Yue was extremely brave, he was unable to show off his power and was captured alive by Lu Fa and his men. After Lu Fahe escorted Ren Yue to Jiangling, he said to Xiao Yi, the king of eastern Hunan: "We have cut off Hou Jing's arm, and Hou Jing will be defeated. There is nothing to worry about, but the Shu thieves are coming, so we must be on guard." Wang Xiaoyi felt that Lu Fahe's words were reasonable, so he sent Lu Fahe to camp at the mouth of the gorge to prevent attacks by Shu soldiers.

Soon after, Xiao Ji, King of Wuling, indeed sent troops from Western Shu to invade Jiangling. However, he was blocked by Lu Fahe who guarded the mouth of the gorge. Two more cities were built, named Qisheng City, and the river was locked and the gorge was blocked so that Ji's army could not fly over.

Later, Xiao Yi, the Lord of Liang, appointed Lu Fahe as the governor of Yingzhou.

In the sixth year of Tianbao, when Liang was already in collapse, Lu Fa and Juzhou surrendered to Northern Qi. Emperor Wenxuan of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Gao Yang, took Fahe as the commander-in-chief to oversee the military affairs of the ten states, Daweigong, and Daxingtai of the Southwest Road.

Gao Yang, Emperor Wenxuan of the Northern Qi Dynasty, once hosted a banquet for Fahe and his disciples who belonged to the Zhaoyang Palace. He gave Fahe a million in money, a thousand pieces of property, the first area of ??A, a hundred hectares of land, and 200 slaves. He put all the slaves back and said, "You all go and make a living for yourself." Fahe gave all the money and silk he got to others, and it was all gone in one day. The house he was given was converted into a Buddhist temple, and he lived in a room by himself, just like a mortal.

There is a biography of Lu Fahe in the "Book of Northern Qi" written by Li Baiyao of the Tang Dynasty, which talks about Lu Fahe in a magical way.

The legend records that a battle between Lu Fahe and Ren Yue took place on the river. Before the war started, Lu Fahe took a small boat and went down the river without wearing any armor. He looked at Ren Yue's army a mile away and then returned to the military camp. He said to the soldiers: "We will attack with fire tomorrow. We will break through." A thief does not lose a single soldier." The next day, he ordered people to set fire to attack the enemy. Just as the wind was blowing towards the enemy, he held a white fan in his hand and fanned lightly a few times, and the wind returned. Ren Yue's army was burned by fire and collapsed, and they all drowned and died.

The biography records that after Lu Fahe defended the Xiakou and defeated Wuling King Xiao Ji, he led his army to stay in Baidi City. He said to people: "Zhuge Kongming is a famous general, I can see it myself. The emperor of this city has a bushel of arrowheads buried in his crossbow." According to the place where Fahe said, he dug three feet into the ground, and indeed there were ten bushels of arrowheads dug out ( Ten buckets equals one dendrobium).

There were many difficult-to-treat patients in the Badie Mountains. Lu Fahe collected medicines for them to treat. After taking medicine for only three times, all the diseases were cured.

Lu Fahe is not sick, but he knows the date of his death. At the time of death, he burned incense and worshiped the Buddha, and died sitting on a brown bed. The disciple washed him and put him in the coffin. The body shrank to a little over three feet. After Emperor Wenxuan of the Northern Qi Dynasty Gao Yang heard about it, he asked someone to open the coffin and see that it was empty. Because of his land law, belief in Buddhism, and military genius, he was endowed with many myths and legends.
