The most common legend is that Lord Muyin once intercepted a cart full of fleeing thieves, single-handedly stopping two galloping horses in their tracks and lifting them off the ground, forcing the cart to come to an abrupt halt. After setting down the poor beasts, he ripped off the reins like tearing a spider web, severing them from the horses. The thieves drew their weapons and stabbed at him through the carriage, but Lord Muyin simply seized the cart and hurled it across a field, causing it to tumble until it landed upside-down, with the dazed thieves thrown out in the process. During the capture of these thieves, one of them tried to resist with a sword, but Lord Muyin bent the blade into a semicircle, then pinned the thief under his arm and continued his pursuit of the others, striding along unaffected.
