Finally set foot on Fengzhou Island.

Sichuan has been called the "country of the Heavenly Mansion" since ancient times. Shao Bo, a scholar in the Song Dynasty, once described Leshan in this way: "The view of mountains and rivers in the world is in Shu, the victory of Shu is Jiazhou, and the victory of Jiazhou is Lingyun Temple." This "Jiazhou" is the ancient name of Leshan. Fengzhou Island is on the flank of Lingyun Temple and is watched by the Leshan Buddha every day.

It was dusk now, and the sunset was reflected by the golden sunset, which was harmonious with the lush grass and forests on the island. Several families also had smoke from the chimneys. The whole world showed a picturesque pastoral scenery, which was not inferior to Lijiang at all. If Pu Zixuan had not explored the demonic energy on the island and had just experienced a water battle, he would not believe that this place was a place where monsters were in chaos.

When the boat was docked, the passengers rushed towards their respective homes in shock. Pu Zixuan and Chen Shuqing were about to ask the boatman if they could stay on the island. Before they could ask, the boatman said first: "Hero, please stay. I have something to ask for, and I want to talk to you."

When Pu Zixuan heard the boatman sighing before, he knew that he was a miserable person. He said with compassion: "You don't have to be polite. I am not a hero. I just acted randomly in a hurry and happened to kill the water monster. However, it was fate to meet each other. If you have anything to do, it's okay to say it."

The boatman no longer planned to ferry, so he parked the boat at the dock, put the oars and half of the wormwood, pulled down the curtains in the cabin, and went ashore with the two of them, asking, "Are you two together? Old man's surname is Tian, ​​and his single name is "Yi". How dare you ask the great name of your honor?"

Pu Zixuan reported the names of the two, and Tian Yi bowed and said, "First of all, I have to thank the hero for saving his life. However, there is one thing that I really have doubts in my heart, and I don't know whether to ask."

Seeing him being so polite, Chen Shuqing was a little impatient and said, "Elder, just speak out, as long as we can, we will do our best to help."

"Okay." Tian Yi said, "When Dandragon killed the water monster just now, everyone thought it was you who used the oars, but I saw it very clearly when I was near. When the water monster swam towards me, it was clearly pulled by an invisible divine power. I pressed it to the edge of the boat, and then the possibility of being hit by the oars on the head. To be honest, I have been living on the banks of the Dadu River for many years and have seen many things that are difficult to explain. I have always believed that there are monsters in this world, and there are also masters who are dedicated to exorcising evil spirits to use their divine power to subdue monsters. When I see this today, I am even more convinced of this! I hope to tell the truth whether Dandragon is a demon-subduing person. I am very grateful."

"Well..." Pu Zixuan didn't know how to answer, so he gave Chen Shuqing a wink, and Chen Shuqing said, "What do you think I'm doing? Everyone says this, just say it."

Having said that, Pu Zixuan really couldn't grasp this level well. After thinking about it, he could only say in a vague way: "When I was a child, I learned some Taoism and techniques from my ancestors, and I can indeed deal with some evil things. I don't know how to help the old man."

Tian Yi wanted to say something, but he sneezes two times in a row. After all, he just fell into the water and his whole body was still in a chicken shape. Chen Shuqing couldn't bear it and suggested: "Be careful of being in a cold, so let's go home to change clothes first. If there is anything, we can sit down and discuss it slowly."

Tian Yi nodded and said, "Okay, my home is not far away. Please come to my house for dinner. If you don't dislike it, you can rest at my house tonight."

The problem of staying overnight was solved, so the two followed Tian Yi and came to his bungalow in less than a cup of tea.

Tian Yi's house was very simple. There were only some simple houses in the house built with adobe. It was already dinner time, and there was no one else in the house. There was only a young man who looked similar to Pu Zixuan's age was cooking.

When the young man saw two people entering the house, he was stunned and stood up to greet him, "Dad, are you back? These two are..."

Tian Yi said: "Oh, these two are my passengers. Today, I encountered a water monster in the middle of the Dadu River. In times of crisis, this hero took action to rescue the water monster. I saw that he had great magical powers, so I welcomed him home to see if he could solve your problem."

Then, Tian Yi introduced to Pu Zixuan and Chen Shuqing: "This is my dog ​​Tian Jinkun. He is nineteen years old this year. He has been fine before. He has been suffering from a strange disease since August last year. He speaks crazy and seems to be possessed. He often makes trouble to find the official army to fight hard. He has made all the money I earned on the ferry, but it can't be cured. There are many Taoist monks and monks who have invited many people, but they are mostly liars in the world. Even the most famous Master Shuran in Lingyun Temple has not improved after his practice... Jinkun's condition is better than that in one month. Alas, I invited heroes today because I personally saw your divine power. I want to try it again to see if there is a solution."

Seeing that the young man had a well-proportioned body and a dignified face, he didn't look like a crazy person, Pu Zixuan couldn't help but become curious.

Before Pu Zixuan could speak, Tian Jinkun complained unhappily: "Dad, how many times have I said it? I am not sick. Those are my personal experiences. It is obvious that you are old and have forgotten all my affairs."

The conversation between the two made Pu Zixuan confused, and Tian Yi sighed and said, "You will tell your bizarre story to everyone. Why don't you tell Master Pu again and let him judge the authenticity? If Master Pu cannot explain it, then the father will no longer care about this matter in the future."

"Okay. I don't know if there are guests here today. I haven't cooked any good dishes. Please forgive me." Tian Jinkun brought the food to the table and greeted them with wine and meals. He said, "Two years ago, Shi Dakai, the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, entered Sichuan and recruited soldiers and horses. Seeing that his hero was so powerful that he was so arrogant, he pseudo-named Feng Yuliang, joined his command, and fought a bloody battle with the Qing demon. At first, we won consecutive battles, and I also made military achievements and was named "Sha".

Wang’. But later, the Qing army increased greatly. In April last year, we decided to force the Dadu River and headed north to get rid of the pursuers. Unexpectedly, just as we crossed the river, I suddenly saw a huge monster appearing in the river. It was dark at that time. I couldn’t see the appearance of the monster, and I just felt that my head was like a rhino! The monster let out a deafening scream. In an instant, the Dadu River flooded, and thousands of soldiers in front fell into the river, life and death were uncertain!

I was the second group of soldiers crossing the river. Seeing this on the shore, I came to the camp of King Yi that night to report the military situation. King Yi sighed that the Qing army knew how to use demonic power. Seeing that our situation was over, he decided to negotiate with the Qing army, sacrifice himself to protect the soldiers of the three armies, and handed me a map of Kunlun Mountain, and wrote the eight words "Faced with mountains and rivers, and kept treasures in between." He said that there is a magic weapon hidden somewhere in Kunlun Mountain, and that magic weapon can attract monsters. He asked me to lead a team to Kunlun Mountain, find magic weapons according to the map, and then find a way to use the demonic power to make a comeback.

I was deeply trusted by King Yi, so I set off with twelve elite soldiers that night. Later, due to the ambush of pursuers and the harsh environment, when we arrived at Kunlun Mountain, there were only five people left in our team. We arrived at a cave to rest, but we didn't expect that there were sealed monsters hidden in the cave. The monsters killed my companions one by one, and I was left alone to escape from the cave, jumped down the mountain, and was saved by some kind of divine power. Fortunately, I just fell into a coma and saved my life.

After I woke up, I returned home all the way, and soon I heard the bad news that King Yi was executed by Lingchi, and was heartbroken. If I hadn't thought that my father was old and had no one to take care of him, even if I didn't want this life, I would have to kill a few Qing Yao to die together! Hum!"

After saying that, Tian Jinkun angrily killed a bowl of rice wine and put it down heavily to show his venting.

Hearing Tian Jinkun’s story, Pu Zixuan smiled and said, “The story is really wonderful, but I’m blunt, we also heard similar scenes in Lijiang, Yunnan, and it was compiled into Yunnan opera called “Taiping Yao Wumian”. Our Sichuan is the base of Shi Gandang. I think there are not many such operas. Brother Jinkun should be too deeply involved in the play, right?”

Tian Jinkun said disappointedly: "Look, I know you won't believe it. I can say it more specifically, for example, the diet of our Taiping Army, pigs, cattle and sheep are not washed very much after slaughtering, and they put the blood in the pot, they are not cooked, and they eat half-cooked. In addition, most of our army are people in Guangxi. They will have diarrhea when they drink soup, and they especially like to eat peppers and chili. I'm afraid these are not reflected in operas, right? Besides, if I make up these things, what's the point of me?"

Tian Yi sighed and said, "Son, you have grown up on this Fengzhou Island since childhood. Even if you go out, you have never left Jiading Mansion. There is no way to talk about martial arts. My father is with you every day and asks about your well-being. How could you allow you to join the Taiping Army and go to such a faraway place in Kunlun Mountain?"

Having said that, the two of them saw that Tian Jinkun's words were fluent and meticulous, firm, and had no jokes or fun, and were incoherent. They were not as uttered as a farmer who had been blocked on the island for many years, and they couldn't help but wonder. What's even more strange is that Tian Yi said: "If there was an opera first, then his nonsense, it would be fine. I just thought he was a childless person, but on the contrary, it was he who told everyone that he had gradually spread and was adapted into an opera by someone who had the heart!"

The two of them were stunned. Before they could ask questions, Tian Yi said again: "Besides, it is not only Jin Kun who is sick on this island. There are about 70 or 80 families on our Fengzhou Island, and about 200 people have settled for a long time. In the past year, I have known that no less than twenty people have been confused and have been crazy about things they have never experienced. However, Jin Kun's words are the most bizarre and have been widely circulated."
