Hui Tong intentionally worked out the pattern of “ Three Clouds and the Black and the White Uncertainty,” hoping that the clouds would create water, and then the water would subdue the fires. As a reward for Hui Tong's grand moral conduct, Emperor Xi Zong granted him a Buddhist cassock and music instruments used in a Buddhist mass.After Hui Tong passed away,his body remained intact and did not decay.In addition, it produced a rate scent.His body was laid on the altar in the Zudian Hall of Heshui Monastery for the worship of people from following dynasties. The body even existed during the Ming Dynasty,but later the whereabouts of the body became unknown.

According to The Annals of Mt.Emei,there was a nun by the name of Hui Xu(慧续) who was Hui Tong's younger sister.She came to Mt.Emei and resided in Huazang Monastery and was considered the first nun to live on Mt.Emei. Hui Xu had extraodinary poweers.It is said that when she resided in Huangzang Monastery, a black tiger patrolled the corridor in the evening, and crows announced the break of day in the morning. There was a pool outside the monastery where over a hundred eagles often swam in groups. Whenever monks in the monastery chanted scriptures,frogs in the same pool sang as an accompaniment with the bells and drums played by the monks .The frogs sounded like the music from a zither,full of eigth_tone music scale melodies,So th pool was named as the Eight_Tone Scale Pool.
