When Tian Jinkun left, the three of them sat down again. Tian Yi had no appetite and put down the bowls and chopsticks and sighed.

Chen Shuqing said, "Old man, I think there must be something strange behind this matter, but just by speaking the two of you, it is hard to draw a conclusion. However, we came to Fengzhou Island because we found that there were evil monsters on this island to complete our own tasks. Now, while Jin Kun is away, please tell us more details so that we can further clarify our clues and think about solutions."

Tian Yi nodded and said, "That's great. Let's put it this way, I grew up on Fengzhou Island. When I was twenty years old, I married a woman on the island. I planned to have children and live a stable life, but my wife was dying after two years, and adults and children lost their lives together. After that, the villagers said that I was betrayed my wife and no one was willing to marry me again, so I became a lonely man and lived a life of this day.

Eighteen years ago, one day in the 26th year of Daoguang, when I was crossing the river, I suddenly saw a wooden basin floating on the river surface, and the crying of a baby came from inside, and salvaged the basin to the boat. I saw that there was indeed a baby inside. At that time, I had just passed the forty years, and the baby seemed to have passed the breastfeeding period. I thought it must be God who saw me lonely and pitiful, so I took him home and pulled him up with shit and urine. This is Jin Kun. To be honest, although it was a child I picked up, I always raised Jin Kun as my biological son, and I had no other intentions."

Pu Zixuan is particularly sensitive to the relationship between father and son. Thinking of Huang Ping'an, the evil man who abandoned his wife and son that day, compared with the old man Tian, ​​he couldn't help but feel compassionate and sighed: "It turns out that Jin Kun is not your biological child, but you are still willing to lose everything to cure his strange disease. I admire him very much. My mother passed away since childhood, and my father has also disappeared for many years. If I were that Jin Kun, I would meet a father like you, even if I had to take medicine every day."

Tian Yi sighed: "It's a pity that Jin Kun has lost his maternal love since he was a child. He has a bit of a pervert. He has never made trouble with me since he became sensible. He has run away from home four times. However, he was really cute when he was young. Before he was five years old, I couldn't leave him alone at home, so I often carried him to the ferry with him. He didn't make any noise at all. Every time I was tired, I rubbed my arms and said, 'Dad, it won't hurt after rubbing it.' With Jin Kun, I really don't feel tired anymore. Oh, I don't know what evil I have committed, why it turned out like this..." After saying that, I couldn't help but feel sad.

Pu Zixuan patted Tian Yi's arm, signaled him to be relieved, and asked, "Jin Kun ran away from home four times, will the problem be here?"

Tian Yi nodded and said, "He came back safely the first three times, but that time last year, I didn't know what was unclean, so I was infected by this evil."

Chen Shuqing asked: "Then do you know what happened that time?"

"This starts with the history of our Fengzhou Island. Do you know why this island is called Fengzhou Island? Because the shape of this island is like a phoenix spreading its wings. Although it is an island, it is really not small, and there is a distance of fifteen or sixteen miles between the two farthest points. Our current location is at the head of this Phoenix. All seventy or eighty islanders either live on the head or on the wings of the Phoenix. No one lives at the tail of the Phoenix, because the tail is at least ten miles away from here, and there is a mountain called Heifeng Mountain. Since the beginning of last year, the government has listed the tail of Fengzhou Island as a restricted area and no one is allowed to enter that area."

"Why?" Pu Zixuan asked.

"Their reason is that Black Wind Mountain is a volcano, and it is unknown when it will erupt. But the islanders say that Leshan County has been a place where monsters are located since ancient times. Some people saw monsters appearing in Black Wind Mountain, which must be the monster's nest. For a while, there were officers and soldiers in that area to strictly prevent people from entering. However, since Shidakai arrived in the Dadu River area last year, the court was busy with war and had no time to send officers and soldiers to station the island. In this way, the forbidden land theory not only failed to stop the world, but instead inspired some outsiders to explore the desire to explore the Black Wind Mountain, and they insisted on going to Black Wind Mountain to find out the truth."

The demonic aura that Pu Zixuan felt was from Heifeng Mountain, and he became more and more focused.

"My son Jin Kun, who had a quarrel with me last August because of some trivial matters, ran away from home and went to that area and disappeared for three days. I was panicked and organized the islanders to search for it without success. But three days later, Jin Kun returned home very well. As soon as he came back, he hugged me and cried, saying that all his comrades were killed by monsters in Kunlun Mountain, and he almost couldn't come back to see me. His crazy words began at that time. At first, it was just a story about Kunlun Mountain. Later, he later became a silly man.

Every month, his bizarre memories will be extra, gradually extending to the flood of the Dadu River, and then to the Taiping Army fighting against the Qing army... How do you say that? It's like the original memory is constantly disappearing, while new memories are constantly filling his head... I'm really afraid that one day, he will forget everything and become another person completely. Alas, what's the difference between that and death?"

After listening to Tian Yi's story, although it is unknown what his son Tian Jinkun had experienced in those days, the two of them understood the superficial causes and consequences. Chen Shuqing comforted: "Old man, don't worry too much. Based on our years of experience, I think that Jinkun did hit evil, or to put it bluntly, he encountered a monster on the Black Wind Mountain and was controlled by the monsters. Such things, whether it was medicine or preaching, were useless."

Tian Yi asked anxiously: "Whether you mean, are there any other ways to save Jin Kun?"

Chen Shuqing said: "Although we are not absolutely sure, once we find the monster, get rid of him or force him to remove the demonic power, I think Jin Kun should be restored to its original state."

Tian Yi immediately stood up and asked in surprise: "How can we find that monster?"

Pu Zixuan asked back, "The old man is old and doesn't know magic. He won't want to catch that monster himself, right?"

Tian Yi said: "As I said, there are at least twenty islanders who have hit the evil on the island. With their families, we will organize fifty or sixty people to go together, so it should be no problem."

Pu Zixuan shook his head: "I can sense the specific location of the monster, and there are quite a few of them. You have also seen that water monster. It is just a low-level monster and can easily deal with more than ten people. If you go, even if you can kill a few monsters by chance, you will probably pay the price of twenty lives."

When Tian Yi heard this, he knelt directly in front of the two and begged: "Two masters, I know that you have infinite magic power. I beg you to help us and come forward to subdue demons. If we can save us, the islanders who are suffering, I am willing to persuade everyone to help you get one hundred taels of silver as a thank you."

Looking at the scene of Tian Yi's family being barely stuck, Pu Zixuan's heart had already softened, and he quickly hunched over and pulled Tian Yi up: "Hurry and don't give me a gift. In fact, even if you don't say it, Shuqing and I were going to find the monster. The monster stole the relics of my ancestors. We came to Fengzhou Island to retrieve our things. We plan to rest for a day and go to Heifeng Mountain to subdue monsters tomorrow. Please do not mention the gifts again."

Chen Shuqing also joked: "This guy not only has boundless magic power, but also has boundless financial power. He has never seen him collect money from others. Old man, let's cover this matter with us."

Tian Yi said gratefully: "Two living Bodhisattvas, I will meet you in this life. How many blessings will I have for my cultivation... Come on, eat vegetables quickly. If you have any needs, just give me instructions."

So the three of them continued to drink and eat, and talked about some mixed topics. Before they knew it, it was evening and Tian Jinkun also returned home. Seeing that he was in a low mood, the three of them stopped talking about him. When the moon was dark and the stars were sparse, Tian Yi helped them make the bed and prepare to go to bed, but then the question arose again.

Tian Yi's home only has two bedrooms and two beds. Originally, one bed with his son and one bed was just enough. In order to stay at Pu Chen and the other two, he and Tian Jinkun temporarily had a bed with a pillow, leaving only one bed.

Along the way, even though Pu Zixuan and Chen Shuqing stayed in the inn, they had a room for each person, and there was no situation where men and women were not allowed to be dependent. This time, the two immediately became embarrassed and explained the problem to Tian Yi, hoping to solve it.

Tian Yi was surprised and guilty: "Oh, you two, sorry, I'm really not careful. I thought you were husband and wife, so I made this wrong arrangement. I didn't want you to be just a companion on your trip. Since that's the case, I'll ask you to sleep in one bed each, and Jin Kun and I will sleep on the ground."

Pu Zixuan immediately refused and said, "We are deeply disturbing you here. How can you let you sleep on the floor? If it is inconvenient, leave this room for the lady, and I will go outside to find an inn."

Tian Yi sighed: "Oh, it's a pity that there are only residents on Fengzhou Island and there are no inns. It's not hard to worry about it, we are in good health, and it will be no problem for one day or two days. Please don't refuse."

Chen Shuqing looked at this helpless state from the side, and said: "Old man, although Pu Zixuan and I are not husband and wife, sleeping in the same bed is just for rest. There is no need to add too many moral constraints. We can sleep in the same bed together tonight without causing trouble for anyone." Then he asked Pu Zixuan: "You are cheap, don't you mind?"

Seeing that Chen Shuqing, a beautiful woman, took the initiative to rescue the situation, Pu Zixuan, a man who had been looking for flowers and asking about the willows for a long time, could have any other opinions, and even cheered up by her decision, but could not be too straightforward, he said, "This arrangement is very reasonable, I have no objection."
