Finally set foot on Fengzhou Island.

Sichuan has been known as "the country of abundance" since ancient times, and Shao Bo, a Song literati, once described Leshan in this way: "The view of the world's mountains and rivers is in Shu, the victory of Shu is called Jiazhou, and the victory of Jiazhou is called Lingyun Temple." This "Jiazhou" is the ancient name of Leshan, Fengzhou Island is on the side of Lingyun Temple, and is watched by the Leshan Giant Buddha every day.

At this moment, it is dusk, the sky is inlaid with the sunset of Phnom Penh, and the lush grass and trees on the island are naturally harmonious, and the chimneys of several houses are still repeatedly cooking smoke, the whole world presents a picturesque pastoral scenery, not losing Lijiang at all, if it is not for Pu Zixuan to detect the demonic spirit on the island, and has just experienced a water war, he can't believe that this place is actually a place of evil trouble.

When the boat docked on the shore, a group of passengers rushed to their respective homes in shock, Pu Zixuan and Chen Shuqing were trying to ask the boatman if there was a place to stay on this island, but before they could ask, the boatman spoke first: "Hero, please stay, the old man has something to ask for, and wants to take a step to speak." ”

Pu Zixuan heard the boatman sigh before he sighed that he had "suffered something", and knew that this was a hard-working man, and said compassionately: "The old man doesn't have to be polite, I'm not a hero, I just acted indiscriminately in a hurry, and I happened to kill the water monster, but it's also fate to know each other, you have something, but it doesn't matter." ”

The boatman no longer intended to ferry, but parked the boat at the dock, put the oars and half of the boat in place, pulled down the curtain on the cabin, and went ashore with the two of them, and asked, "Are you together?" The old man's surname is Tian, and his single name is a 'Yi' word, dare to ask Your Excellency's name? ”

Pu Zixuan reported the names of the two, and Tian Yi arched his hand and said: "First of all, I want to thank the hero for saving his life, but there is one thing, the old man really has doubts in his heart, and he doesn't know whether to ask." ”

Seeing him so polite, Chen Shuqing was also a little impatient, and said: "Although the old man speaks, as long as we do what we can, we will definitely help." ”

"Okay." Tian Yi said, "When Pu Gongzi killed the water monster just now, everyone thought that you did it with an oar, but the old man was close and saw it very clearly, when the water monster swam towards me, it was obviously pulled by an invisible divine force, and pressed to the side of the boat, so that there was a possibility that the head was hit by the oars later." Don't hide it, the old man has been living on the bank of the Dadu River for many years, and has seen a lot of inexplicable things, and has always believed that there are demons in this world, and there are also full-time masters who can use divine power to subdue monsters. When I saw it today, I was even more convinced of this! Whether Pu Gongzi is a demon subduer or not, I hope to tell the truth, and the old man is grateful. ”

"Well...... this" Pu Zixuan didn't know how to answer, so he glanced at Chen Shuqing, and Chen Shuqing said: "Look at what I'm doing, everyone talks about this, so you can just say it." ”

Having said that, Pu Zixuan really couldn't handle this degree, and after thinking about it, he could only say vaguely: "When I was a child, I learned some Taoist magic techniques from my ancestors, and I can indeed deal with some evil things, I don't know how to help the elderly." ”

Tian Yi still wanted to say something, but he sneezed twice in a row, after all, he had just fallen into the water, and his whole body was still in the shape of a soup chicken, Chen Shuqing couldn't bear it, and suggested: "Be careful of the wind and cold, let's go home and change clothes first." If there is anything, we can sit down and discuss it slowly. ”

Tian Yi nodded and said: "It's 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." ”

It happened that the problem of staying overnight was also solved, so the two followed Tian Yi forward, and in less than a cup of tea, they came to his bungalow.

Tian Yi's house was very simple, there were only some simple household items in the adobe house, it was dinner time, there was no one else in the house, only a young man who looked about the same age as Pu Zixuan was cooking on the fire.

Seeing the two of them enter the house, the young man was stunned for a moment, got up and greeted, "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, and when I was in danger, it was this hero who rescued and killed the water monster." I saw that he had great powers, so I welcomed him to my house and saw if I could solve your problem. ”

Subsequently, Tian Yi introduced to Pu Zixuan and Chen Shuqing: "This is my dog Tian Jinkun, nineteen years old this year, he was fine before, he has been suffering from a strange illness since August last year, he is crazy and crazy, as if he is enchanted, and from time to time he wants to go to the official army desperately." The money I earned from the ferry was all for him to see a doctor, but he couldn't be cured, and the Taoist monks also invited a lot, but they were mostly charlatans, and even the most famous Master Shi Ran of Lingyun Temple did not get better after doing it...... Jin Kun's illness is better than January, alas, I invited the hero to come today, also because I have seen your divine power in person, and I want to try again to see if there is a solution. ”

Seeing that this young man had a well-proportioned body and a dignified face, and he didn't look like a crazy person, Pu Zixuan couldn't help but be 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 clear that you are old and confused, and you have forgotten all about my affairs." ”

The conversation between the two made the second monk Pu Zixuan puzzled, and Tian Yi sighed and said: "You will tell your bizarre story when you meet people, why don't you tell Master Pu again and let him judge the authenticity?" If Master Pu can't explain it, then the father will no longer care about this matter in the future. ”

"Good. I don't know if there are distinguished guests here today, and I haven't made any good dishes, so I invite two Haihan. Tian Jinkun brought the food to the table, beckoned the two to drink and eat, and said, "Two years ago, Shi Dakai, the righteous king of our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, entered Sichuan, recruited troops and horses, and I saw that his hero was world-famous and swallowed mountains and rivers, so he assumed the name Feng Yuliang, joined his command, and started a bloody battle with the Qing demon. At first, our side won successive battles, and I also performed military exploits and was named the 'Sand King'. But then the strength of the Qing army increased greatly, in April last year, we decided to force the Dadu River, all the way north to get rid of the pursuers, unexpectedly when we crossed the river, I suddenly saw a huge monster in the river, it was dark at that time, I could not see the appearance of the monster clearly, only felt that the head shape was like a rhinoceros! The monster let out a deafening roar, and in an instant, the Dadu River flooded, and thousands of soldiers in front fell into the river, and their lives and deaths were uncertain!

I was the second group of soldiers to cross the river, and when I saw this on the shore, I came to the camp of the righteous king that night to report the military situation. King Yi lamented that the Qing army actually knew how to use demonic power, and saw that our general trend had gone, so he decided to negotiate with the Qing army, sacrificing himself to protect the soldiers of the three armies, and handed me a map of Kunlun Mountain, on which the words "facing the mountain and relying on the water, and the treasure in the meantime", saying that there is a magic weapon hidden somewhere in Kunlun Mountain, and that magic weapon can attract monsters, and asked me to lead a team to Kunlun Mountain, find the magic weapon according to the map, and then find a way to use the magic power to make a comeback.

I won the trust of the righteous king, and set off with twelve elites that night, and then due to the ambush of the 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 think that the cave contained sealed monsters, and the monsters killed my companions one by one, leaving me alone to escape from the cave, jumping down the mountain, and being rescued by some kind of divine power, fortunately I only passed out and picked up a life.

After I woke up, I went all the way back home, and soon I heard the bad news that King Yi was executed by Ling Chi, and I was overwhelmed with grief. Hum! ”

After speaking, Tian Jinkun angrily killed a bowl of rice wine and put the bowl down heavily to show his vent.

Hearing Tian Jinkun's narration, Pu Zixuan smiled and said: "The story is really exciting, but with all due respect, we also heard the same story in Lijiang, Yunnan, and it was also compiled into a Dian opera, called "Taiping Demon Sleepless", our Sichuan is the base of Shi Dangdang, and there will be no shortage of such operas, the Jinkun brothers should be too deep into the play, right?" ”

Tian Jinkun said disappointedly: "Look, I know you won't believe it, I can be more specific, for example, the diet of our Taiping Army, pigs, cattle and sheep are not cleaned much after slaughter, and the blood is drenched in the pot, and it is not cooked, and it is eaten half-cooked." There are also most Guangxi people in our army, who will have diarrhea as soon as they drink soup, and they especially like to eat peppercorns. These, I'm afraid they can't be reflected in opera, right? Besides, what does it mean to me if I make up these things? ”

Tian Yi sighed and said: "Son, you have grown up on this Fengzhou Island since you were a child, even if you go out, you have never left Jiading Mansion for half a step, and it is impossible to talk about practicing martial arts. ”

Having said that, the two of them saw that Tian Jinkun's words were fluent and meticulous, his position was firm, and there was no sense of banter and incoherence, and he didn't seem to be able to say anything like a farmer who had been isolated on this island all the year round, and they couldn't help but doubt. What's even more strange is that Tian Yi said: "If there is an opera first, and then there is his nonsense, I just think he is a child, but on the contrary, it was he who told this story when he met people first, and it was gradually spread, and then it was adapted into an opera by someone with a heart!" ”

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and before they could ask questions, Tian Yi said again: "Moreover, Jin Kun is not the only one who is sick on this island, there are about seventy or eighty families on our Fengzhou Island, and more than two hundred people have settled down for a long time. ”

Hearing this, Tian Jinkun shook his head unconsciously, and said, "Do you know what is the most painful thing for me? That is, the facts are clearly there, but even my relatives have the right to me to talk crazy, and I have to use that small amount of belongings to buy medicine for me to treat my illness and ask someone to do it, I think of my father's kindness, I can't bear to let him down, cooperate with him to use medicine, and let those charlatans squeeze out money...... Dad, don't look at what has become of our family, whether you believe it or not, I announced in front of the two guests: In the future, I will no longer cooperate with your so-called treatment, and I will not mention this past ......" After speaking, he finished another bowl of wine, stood up, and said: "Please use it slowly, I will go out for a walk." He put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked straight out of the house, no matter how Tian Yi called, he had no intention of turning back.
