2, Jietai Temple fairy legend (source):

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a man named Xia in Lujiang, Anhui Province, who gave birth to nine sons. Except for one eye in the middle of eldest brother's forehead, the other eight are blind. Later, they went through difficulties and obstacles, crossed the towering Wuyi Mountain, waded through the turbulent Minjiang River, and came to a place called "Fengting" (Jiuxian Hall of Jietai Temple).

The next day, the nine brothers came to a stream from the "wind pavilion" and saw that the water was so clear. Wash your face with water, and the water drops touch your eyes and feel lit up; Wash it a few more times, and your eyes will all open! Since then, the nine Ho brothers have lived here.

In the mountainous area of Qingyuan County (Xianyou) where his nine brothers live, plagues are rampant and disasters are frequent, and local officials don't care about the lives of the people at all. The Ho brothers are very sympathetic to the people's sufferings. They go up the mountain to collect herbs during the day and make an alchemy by the lake at night. The refined Dan medicine can ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters. Everyone should take one pill, and it will be fine when the medicine is cured.

This magical story has been told ten times, and even people who are sick in Putian and Hui 'an come here to seek medical advice. Since then, people in this area have been given longevity, happiness and peace.

Later, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, the nine brothers came to the lake to enjoy the moon. At this time, nine carp flapped their wings and jumped out of the lake, eager to try. It turns out that the carp in the lake ate the elixir prepared by the nine brothers, and it has become a "fine" and is about to go to heaven. The two brothers were overjoyed and each took a carp to heaven, eventually becoming "immortals".
