《八仙过海各显神通》

八位仙人同去蓬莱仙岛赴会。到了海边，吕洞宾提议：不乘云，不乘舟，各凭宝物渡海。龙王的儿子看中了仙家宝物，掳走了蓝采和。八仙齐心斗龙，在观音的劝说下握手言和，从此留下\"八仙过海，各显神通\"的说法。

"Eight immortals travel together to a gathering on Penglai Island. At the shore, Lü Dongbin proposes a challenge: no clouds and no boats — each immortal crosses the sea on his or her own treasure. When the Dragon King's son seizes Lan Caihe out of greed for the magic treasures, the eight fight side by side against the dragon palace, until the Goddess of Mercy talks everyone into peace. From this tale comes the saying: \"The Eight Immortals cross the sea — each shows their own power.\"
