So, he used magic to collect the spring water accumulated in the mountain into a stream and drain it down the mountain. The carp spirit also became obsessed and turned into a stone, lying at the bottom of the spring forever. Back then, before the Nanshan Reservoir was excavated, people could still see strange fish-shaped rocks in the pond, and a temple was built on top of the rocks to express their admiration for the carp spirit.
