They agreed to stay together until death, but they were strongly opposed by their peers, because the Shui people had rules and they could not get married. One day, they had a tryst at the edge of the fairy pool, and both of them took a bath in the pool. When the villagers found firewood in the mountain, they ran back to the village and called out to the people. They tied ah Yang and ah Yan tightly, put them into a pig cage and sank to the bottom of the fairy pool. After they died, they became a pair of mandarin ducks who loved each other. They often played on the water surface of the fairy pool.

Stones for laying eggs

In addition to dancing grass and fighting fish, yaorenshan also has laying stones. In the southern foot of yaoren mountain, the cliffs of Gulu and zhalagou are mostly reddish brown weathered stones. In these cliffs, there are stone eggs of different shapes and sizes. According to the local villagers, every 38 years, mature stone eggs are produced in the night of storm, which is amazing. The stone eggs produced by the egg laying cliff are green and red, heavy and hard, with obvious lines from the outside to the inside, just like tree rings. This geological wonder is still a mystery. There is a legend about "laying eggs by stone" among the Shui people: "it is said that in ancient times, little white dragon of Duliu River fought with little black dragon of Longjiang River who wanted to fight for territory in hutiaotan, and they won the battle for three days and three nights. However, the two little dragons were all bruised and dying. It happened that two young Shui people carrying firewood passed by and carried the two little dragons back to their homes to heal their wounds. Soon after, the two little dragons recovered. Thanks to the two rescuers, they listened to the advice of the two young men, turned their enemies into friends and stopped fighting. They planted their dragon balls in Gulu and chalagou, respectively. After that, they laid stone eggs every few decades.

She sat on a rock and fell asleep, In her dream, a fairy said to her, "little girl, you don't have to go to find Ganoderma lucidum grass. I'll give you a gourd. As long as you take it to the well of longtanggou every morning to get clean water to wash your mother's eyes, and persist for 7749 days, your mother's eyes will be fine." When the little girl woke up, she found a papaya gourd beside her. She quickly took it home and told her mother what happened in her dream. From then on, the little girl took the gourd to the well of longtanggou to get clean water every day, and went home patiently to wash her mother's eyes.

The little girl sat down beside the well and sighed. Her tears fell like broken pearls. While she was crying, she complained about the well and said, "well, well, why are you so muddy this morning?"

The well quickly replied, "little girl, I didn't do it on purpose. It's because the stones on the mountain tumbled down, smashed my house and disturbed my life
