Queen Mother smelled the fragrance in the heavenly court, and when she found out, she was furious and accused her of violating the laws of heaven and throwing Fairy Bai Feng into the fire. The fairy Bai Feng was inspired by Laojun of the Great Shang, and the elves did not disperse at all. They turned into white phoenix chickens and flew out of the fire, landing under the stone rocks on the south slope of Zhongnan Mountain. Although the fur, bones, and internal organs have been burned black, their vitality and some of the holy and snow-white feathers have not been damaged at all. The eight people knew their true colors and felt pity. They threw the white phoenix chicken into the river to wash away the burnt ashes and placed them on the grass of green bacteria by the river, allowing her to live freely in the beautiful and happy world and cure diseases for mankind. The water of the small river where the white phoenix chickens gathered ashes was dyed black at that time, so it was named Heihe.
