The dragon king found that the golden carp in his waters had been robbed by fishermen, and he would like to see what happened. Yuan Shoucheng is an expert in street divination in Journey to the West. He provides fishermen with a place where fish appear every day, so that they can catch fish accurately, and only need a golden carp.
