Inner Demons

At the ferry, there was a small boat waiting.

On the bow of the ship stood a man who pierced the water (Note 1) but was wearing a hat. He had no oars and no oars in his hands, and he did not speak. Seeing that the four of them came and looked up, they pointed to Li Yunxin. It seems to be asking “why one more person”.

The man seemed to have a bad complexion, his face turned blue as if he was seriously ill. The lanky face, with sharp edges and corners, always seems to have several points of familiarity.

Ding shopkeeper smiled and folded his hand at him, saying: “I met a wonderful person on the road, some strange story, and I was about to introduce you to the head of the family.”

Don’t ask any more, get away from the bow.

The three people got on the boat with ease, and the boat sank slightly, making a ripple on the water.

Li Yunxin looked at the boat and the vast Dongting Lake. He hesitated and went up too.

Then the man jumped into the water after hearing a puff. The whole person was not in the water, with a bow and a bow, and his legs kicked fast-actually swimming in the water, pushing the boat away.

Ding shopkeeper laughed: “This little brother is a weird temper and he is not good at talking…Uh, what do you call a distinguished guest?”

“Oh. Li Xunhuan next time.”

The boat was traveling above the Dongting, and the sun gradually tilted westward. The incandescent sunlight became soft and yellow, and the sparkling waves on the lake really looked like fish scales. It is the first time for Li Yunxin to see such clear water. Even when not far from the shore, we can still see the grass on the bottom of the lake. But the boat gradually moved to the depths of the water and became a whole piece of deep jade stone.

In the distance, you can see Junshan.

Junshan is actually an island with a lonely peak in the island. From here, the island is covered with verdant vegetation, and a beautiful and tall mountain rises from the island, and the clouds and mist on it are really Seizing Heaven and Earth Good Fortune.

It seemed that it would take quite a while to reach Junshan, and Li Yunxin chatted with the three.

Listening to them in the tea house before, I have already understood most of the things.

It is said that on this mountain, there is a reclusive Taoist Li.

This Daochang Li is a strange man. Perhaps it was the descendants of a wealthy merchant who saw through the world and came to Junshan with money to build a “Purple Tenuity Palace”.

This Purple Tenuity Palace is built on the hillside, divided into three halls: front, middle and back.

The front hall is built under the mountain, the nave is built on the mountainside, and the apse is built in the clouds and mist on the top of the mountain. The three halls are connected by a wooden plank road, which is suspended in the air. According to Ding shopkeeper, he once went to the nave along the plank road once, “Standing in the clouds and mist on the mountainside, with the soles of his feet hanging. The surrounding vegetation is green, the smoke and waves in the distance are vast, and he thought he was in the Immortal Realm in a daze.”

Let’s talk about Daochang Li again. At the end of each month, local scholars will be invited to Purple Tenuity Palace.

He has only one hobby-listening to stories. When people were invited to the front hall, they offered snacks and tea and invited people to tell stories. If he heard a novel and interesting story, he would ask that person to point three friends to the nave together.

According to Ding shopkeeper, there are “the delicacies that make people swallow the tongue, and other wonderful things” in the nave.

Li Yunxin knew these things, and he had the intention and purpose, so he began to lead these three people to speak.

He instinctively felt that Taoist Li might have something to do with Lord Dongting.

How can such a stranger be so ostentatious in Junshan that it has nothing to do with that Dongting Lord?

Perhaps it is a breakthrough.

The four people chatted and gradually got acquainted, and the other two taciturns became interested. The tall, black face is called Zhao Guanren, and the white and fat ones are called Sun Yuanwai.

Li Yunxin sat firmly on the ship’s side with his hands firmly, and asked: “What is the allusion to the name of Junshan?”

Sun Yuanwai casually said: “Ah, because Mr. Dongting Well!”

“I have heard people talk about Lord Dongting in the town these days. Is there such an allusion?” Li Yunxin’s heart jumped, but still asked enthusiastically, “Brother Sun knows it. The story?”

Member Sun hesitated for a while, and shook his head: “I’m not afraid to laugh at the distinguished guests. This is a family allusion. Normally I don’t say it. But today, I am interested in the distinguished guests. ……”

Ding shopkeeper and Zhao Guanren also showed surprise, and said: “Old Sun, I don’t usually hear you say this? What is your allusion here?”

Sun Yuanwai smiled bitterly: “Hey, it’s not a strange thing. I just heard that’s all-when I was a child, I heard the old man in my family say that there was originally no Dragon King in Weishui and Dongting. We are now in the Daqing Dynasty. Push up more then 2000 years and 3000 years, which dynasty is it? Hey, it’s not in any dynasty! At that time, our place was called Nanze Baiguo!”

“Then a Deity came out of this Dongting Lake called Dongting Monarch. Helped the Wei Kingdom at that time to pacify Nanze, and slowly got the territory of Daqing today. At that time, it was said that Dongting Monarch lived on Junshan Mountain-this mountain was named after him. But now it has been. After so many years, we have the Dragon King in Weishui again, who remembers Lord Dongting! Go home and ask the elderly in your family, if you don’t know it, you will know this.”

Listen to him, Ding shopkeeper Frowned for a while. Then he clapped his hands: “No, it’s really impressive! I said the name is familiar!”

“Didn’t that mean that the Lord Long appeared in Weicheng a few days ago?” Zhao Guanren blinked. “Could it be that Lord Dragon moved elsewhere… That Dongting Monarch is now again? What did the child surnamed Du say? Monarch Dongting wants to repay his favor?” Member Sun said hurriedly: “pei pei pei! Mo! I want to talk about Dragon Lord in this Dongting!”

Zhao Guanren slapped his head: “Yes. Aiya, Dragon King, no wonder, my old Zhao is not intentional…”

But I don’t know the Lilong King of Weishui, who is sitting next to them at this time.

Li Yunxin heard these words and knew that this trip would definitely be rewarding. Junshan was named because of Emperor Dongting, and Taoist Li built a Purple Tenuity Palace on Junshan, which must be involved.

But I don’t think it is a “coincidence”. In his opinion, all “coincidences” and “accidents” must have a cause, except for extremely accidental and very individual events. For example, “It happens that the grandson on the same ship knows Junshan’s allusions”-it is also because he has spent a lot of time in Bailuzhou, and deliberately selected the three people who most likely know some secrets.

This is not a coincidence. He is now walking in the capital of a country away from the country, but the grandson’s allusion about Junshan is called “coincidence” when the grandson comes up and pulls him to talk about Junshan.

Some gossip, the ship arrived at Junshan Wharf.

From a distance, I saw a young man waiting at the dock. When the boat reached the shore, the white and soft little servant did not speak, but just smiled and bowed and led the four forward.

The three people are not surprised, but Li Yunxin looked at him specially, then smiled slightly.

In front of the pier is a stone path that leads along the snow-white sandy beach to the distant forest. I saw a stone gate archway erected in the forest, with two leaping stone fish on it, guarded by stone lions on both sides. The three ancient writings on the archway——Purple Tenuity Palace.

Li Yunxin looked at the door from a distance, lightly exclaimed, knowing that tonight… it’s probably interesting.

The setting sun is about to go down, the sunlight will stretch the silhouettes of the people who have been waiting in front of the door and cast them on the slate floor.

Li Yunxin recognizes one of them with anxious expression.

Shangqing Danding sent the Xujing cultivator in the Weicheng resident, from Yunzi.
