李大傻讲故事 - 八仙過海

The 8 Immortals cross the sea. This is a short audio clip from a longer story "The 8 Immortals create havoc in the East Sea". The storyteller was Li Da Sha (Lei Dai Sor in cantonese) - a renowned cantonese storyteller from the 50s to the 70s.


The 8 Immortals made such a big mess in the East Sea. As a punishment the Jade Emperor banished them to Earth .......... and they lost their magic powers and have to do things the way all of us mortals do.
