According to the legend, after the couple had retired to the seclusion of the middle peak of Mount Hua, one day Nongyu took her jade sheng (mouth organ) and mounted a colorful phoenix, and Xiao Shi took his jade xiao (vertical flute) and stepped onto a golden dragon. For a time, the dragon and the phoenix flew into the air.
