English translation from the proverb "Eight people crossing the ocean, each showing his magical powers".

The idiom "Eight Immortals" refers to the eight immortals in ancient mythology, namely Han Zhongli, Zhang, Han Xiangzi, Cao Guojiu, Lan Caihe and He Xiangu. Legend has it that the Eight Immortals have their own magical powers, punishing evil and promoting good on earth, and doing many good things for the people.

Legend has it that one year, the Eight Immortals were invited to attend the Flat Peach Festival of the Queen Mother. They left the place of practice, prepared to drive the clouds to attend the Flat Peach Festival, passed by the East China Sea, and saw the boundless, choppy and thunderous waves. It was a thrilling scene. Lv Dongbin had a brainwave and said, "Crossing the sea is not a fairy's skill. Why don't we take out a magic weapon and cross the sea to show our magic power? " All the immortals said in unison, "Good!"

Tie Guai Li was the first. I saw him throw his crutch into the East China Sea, and it floated gently on the sea like a boat. Tie Guai Li jumped up and landed firmly on it. When the immortals saw it, they praised it in unison: "Good skill!" At this moment, Han Zhongli clapped the drum in his hand and said, "Look at me!" " "He threw the tambourine into the sea and sat cross-legged on the drum, like an old monk.

Zhang Lao Guo said with a smile: "This is still my best move." He took out a piece of paper and folded it into a donkey. After the paper donkey landed on all fours, he shouted at the sky. Zhang rode on the donkey's back, waved to the immortal and braved the wind and waves.

Lv Dongbin unhurriedly pulled out the dust from behind and pointed to the sea. Suddenly, the sun shone, and the sea split in two, giving way to a spacious avenue. Seeing Lv Dongbin smile, You Ran walked to the end of the road.

Not to be outdone, Han Xiangzi took out a book from his pocket, threw it into the sea, jumped up and stood on one foot, then took out his flute tube and played melodious music. Cao Guojiu took out Baoyu's simplified chessboard and floated in the air. It's just He Xiangu and Blue Cai He, and nothing happened. Only Blue Cai He took out the flower basket and put it into the sea. The flower basket suddenly became several times larger, and the flowers smelled fragrant. Looking back, he saw that Xiangu didn't bring any magic weapon, so he asked, "Xiangu, would you like to cross the sea with me?"

He Xiangu smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness. You can go first, and I'll follow! " As he spoke, he took a lotus from his head and put it into the water. In a blink of an eye, it became a lotus boat, carrying Xiangu slowly across the sea.
