At the invitation of all the immortals, LV Dongbin, who has a unique skill, throws the flat peach kernel from the queen mother into the air. He puts his hands together and closes his eyes. In an instant, the stone turns into a peach, which is shared by all the immortals. The rest of the stone falls to the ground and becomes a stone.

Xiantao stone

Xiantao stone is on Tiandu peak, passing through the back of crucian carp and the first cave. Looking back, we can see that there are three huge round stones at the top of the cave, which are like a plate of flat peaches. The pine trees growing out of the cracks in the stone are like peach stalks and peach leaves. People call the round stone "Xiantao stone" and the stone cave built by the round stone "Xiantao cave". According to folklore, this is a shortcut from the heavenly palace to the world, very close to the potao garden of the queen mother. One year, the queen mother held a peach banquet to celebrate her birthday. All the immortals came to the banquet. Even the colorful girl Yuntong, who was guarding the peach garden, left the peach garden without permission to watch the fun. The monkey king knew that flat peaches were precious, so he took the opportunity to sneak in and pick them. Pig Bajie, who is greedy and selfish, knows that stealing flat peaches is against heaven's rules. However, taking advantage of the opportunity of Monkey King's busy picking, he not only secretly ate a good meal, but also hid a lot of peaches and went to the back of crucian carp to take a nap. Sun Wukong thought it was not early, so he came back in a hurry and gave the peaches to his master and younger martial brother to satisfy his hunger and thirst. Tang Sanzang heard that the flat peach was stolen from heaven. Then he rebuked Wukong with a loud voice and ordered him to look for Bajie. The monkey king went straight to the back of the crucian carp and found him sleeping in front of a pile of flat peaches. So he first used the "nailing method" to nail the pile of flat peaches there, and then woke up Bajie. After all, this flat peach is a treasure of the fairyland. After a long time in front of the back of the crucian carp, it gradually turns into a stone peach.
