Two Three Nine King of Xiaoxiang

The sunset is the autumn scenery of Changsha is far away, and I don’t know where to hug Xiangjun.

These two sentences were written by Li Taibai, a predecessor, when he visited Dongting. People say "Eight Hundred Miles of Dongting". The scene here is really vast and it is really worthy of the name of "Yunmeng Daze" in the past.

It was also in the Dongting area that I saw some small town restaurants engraved with poems and immortals. Jun Li remembered that this place was called Xiaoxiang. The formerly known as "Xiangjun" and "Xiangma" were originally inseparable from this place. But since that day, he and Okra decided to tell each other that the cramps between each other became weaker. Compared to this child's thoughts, he was more worried about the initiator of the play, Chen Fengming.

It was two days before July, and the group had arrived at the place where the invitations of the three meetings were pointed. It was dusk, and the breeze on this shore of Dongting Lake hit the sand, and the water birds reflected the clouds. Okra, who had not spoken for a long time, couldn't help but sigh: "What a beautiful scenery!"

"No one is there, so strange." Lou Qianshan looked around. "Although the days have not come yet, why don't you even look like you need to make a living here?"

"It seems that there is someone there." Jun Li narrowed his eyes slightly to avoid the light that was rippling in his eyes. The dark shadow in the distance seemed to be really a human being, but between this vast water sky, this small point is not much more eye-catching than a water bird.

Okra also retracted her gaze. "I'll go over and ask." She walked towards the water.

Junli and Lou Qianshan followed. When they approached, they could see that there was a small boat beside the man, which seemed to be a boatman.

"May I ask..." Okra approached and just spoke, the boatman had already bowed and said, "Are you three invited to attend the meeting?"

"Not bad." Lou Qianshan followed, "The invitation is here."

The boatman did not answer the post and said respectfully: "It's okay. The three teams' meeting was in Dongting Mountain in the lake. They were ordered by the head of the gate of the gate. They have been waiting for the guests here these days. However, the meeting will be held in the next day. It is inconvenient to go to Dongting Mountain. I'm afraid there is no comfort in the mountains. Should the three of them take a boat at this moment, or should they take a break in the town first and set off again the next day?"

The three of them looked at each other and Jun Li said, "Have you already gone to Dongting Mountain by Master Guan?"

"The head of the sect has already gone to prepare, but..."

"Then we will go there sooner, too." Jun Li said without waiting for him to finish speaking.

He was worried and anxious, thinking that the three of them had enough water and food, and there was no risk of coldness in this summer. At most, they would sleep in the mountains for two days. If they could find out about him before the meeting, they would be less passive.

The boatman nodded and said, "Just wait for someone to come, I can send three of you here, so as to save no one here, and no one will be able to answer if others come."

-----------------

The boat is breeze, neither fast nor slow, and it is already the Dongting Mountain Realm when I was young.

"I was afraid that Master Jun Li would be obstructed, so he didn't read the invitation, so he let us in." Lou Qianshan whispered, "Senior Sister, have these three clubs always been so casual? Are you not afraid of any outsiders intervening in?"

"I have never been here either." Okra said, "I just heard from Master in the past that the three branches have always been poor. The people attending the meeting are familiar faces. Even if there are new people, they must be introduced by acquaintances before they can participate. Furthermore, the three branches have not been passed down from the world, so there is no outsider interested in them, so there is nothing to worry about on this level."

"But the three of us - they are not considered familiar faces, are they?" Lou Qianshan still a little suspicious.

"That day, Shan Xianfeng told me that Guan Feigu also invited the Qinglong Sect to watch. In fact, he was not willing to be so famous that he had not been passed on to the world." Jun Li said on the other hand, "The Phantom Life has been so popular in recent years, which has long surpassed the Lingyin Sect and Lanshan Sect. Perhaps for him, the more people, the better. If it is an outsider, it is just because he might be trying to use this time to make the Phantom Life famous in the world."

Okra's eyebrows were slightly frowned. "Famous in the world?" She said softly. "My master seems to despise this festival very much. She said--she said that the reason why the three branches can survive after the demise of the Demon Cult is to this day depends entirely on this strange thing that is out of the world. If you enter the world again, you are afraid..."

She sighed, "Does Guan Feigu not understand this principle, even a senior like this?"

Her voice was extremely indifferent. Guan Feigu was the so-called "grandfather". Even though this relationship was not true, when she mentioned him, she seemed to have a little joke in her heart. She had to say nothing but wanted to say too much, so she could only be so indifferent.

Dongting Mountain was originally a small island in Dongting Lake, also known as Junshan. The "jun" of Junshan is actually called the king of "Xiangjun". It is called a small island, but the mountains in it are undulating, but it is quite beautiful.

Fortunately, the hills that were only dozens of feet high and fell at most were not flat at first glance, and even if they were not plain, they were not clear and could not be clear. The boatman pointed out the direction of the meeting place and left immediately.

"It seems that there are no people here yet." Lou Qianshan still looked around and turned around and spoke, but his words seemed to be a little more uneasy than when he was on the shore of the lake.

No one heard that she was afraid. Junli and Okra didn't know how painful she had in the past. Her fear today originated from the teacher of the same school, Xie Fengde. With the two of them as her company, her panic was a little bit but it was hard to get rid of. How could she know how she would meet him and how to humiliate him in the three groups of Dongting? At this moment, is he here too?

"Let's go there first." Jun Li pointed along the way the boatman pointed before, "I'm afraid there are some people there, maybe they can meet Guan Feigu and others."

Okra nodded, and Lou Qianshan nodded too. She didn't dare to leave the two alone, but now she missed Shen Fengming even more. If he were here, he would definitely know what she was afraid of at this moment. Only he knew.

——Is he here?

The sky was getting darker. When we arrived near the venue, there was someone guarding the place. It was said that the time had not arrived and we could not enter. The three of them wanted to find out where Guan Feigu and others were, but the people here seemed to be unaware. In addition, it was too late, so there was no result after asking.

I had no choice but to find a place to stay. As night fell, there were already fires between the hills. I thought there was really no place to stay on this island, so I could only set up camp to create fires.

Okra and Lou Qianshan each ate some dry food, but saw Jun Li on the side, and did not say anything. Okra hesitated, turned his head and said nothing, but Lou Qianshan moved closer and said quietly: "Is Taoist Master worried about Shen Fengming?"

Jun Li was told by her and had to respond: "Well, there is no clue." After a pause, he turned around and went to find okra, "Are you Qin by your side?"

Okra was carrying the fourteen-stringed lyrics. When he heard him ask, he said, "Why?"

"I must have wanted to listen to my senior sister playing the piano," Lou Qianshan smiled, "I've been tired all the way. Now it's evening, and I don't have any entertainment..."

But when Okra still looked at Jun Li steadily. When she waited for his answer, she felt a little bored and kept silent. She only heard Jun Li say, "I can't play the piano. If I say a few talismans, can you still play it?"

"Of course, but...what are you going to do?"

"It's good to play it out." Jun Li said, "Let's try it first. If it succeeds, I'll tell you."

Okra set the piano and said, "You said."

She heard Jun Li say a few talismans as if he was pieced together, but she was also scattered and slightly strange. She tried to pluck out one by one on the strings. It was indeed not a song, and she said unconsciously: "What is this?"

"Let it be connected again," said Jun Li.

As expected, the okra sounded again. The silent sound of the piano in the mountains and no joy at all seemed particularly clear in the night on this not-so-large Dongting Island.

Jun Li turned his head and looked far outside the tent. Of course, it would not be a song. He was just helpless and could only use this method to find the whereabouts of Chen Fengming. It was a code word they agreed to use music tones a long time ago. If he was here and if he was safe, he should be able to hear the sound of the piano in this quiet night and recognize his meaning.

He only asked him: "Can you be here?"

After a long time, there was no sound. He did not give up and added two more verses to ask the okra to play.

But Okra was a little reluctant, "What does this untuned piano sound mean?" she said in confusion, "We shouldn't have made a sound to attract attention."

"Yes, Taoist priest, senior sister has always been melodiously speaking, but you ask her to play this unknown thing. You don't think it's dirty, senior sister even thinks you're dirtying her fingers." Lou Qianshan also interrupted.

Jun Li was silent. He didn't know if okra knew that the music was about looking for Chen Fengming, and he would even be furious. But he was not good at deceiving and could not make up any reason for it. After being silent, he could only tell the truth: "I am looking for Chen Fengming's whereabouts. This is what I made an appointment with him to use a sound instead of a word..."

Okra's face changed indeed, and when he pressed his hand on the string, he wanted to stop. Jun Li explained hurriedly: "I know that your old grudge against him has not yet disappeared, but I - after all, I think he is a friend, and this time he fell into the hands of the fantasy world, I cannot ignore it. I am not good at playing music, and now - I can only ask you to help me send him a message, so..."

Okra stood up and said, "You know I had a marriage with him, why do you still ask me to look for him with the sound of the piano? Humph, do you think I was not humiliated enough by him, and you must make me more ashamed and humiliated?"

"I don't mean that. Even if I don't care for my sake, after all, when he was in the inner city, he also helped us, this time..."

Halfway through the night, a few sharp sounds of breaking through the sky suddenly came from the night. The three of them were shocked, and Jun Li's face was filled with joy.

"It's him. He's here." He could hear that it was Chen Fengming responding to himself with the usual sound of blowing leaves.

Okra was silent, "What did he say?"

“He said—‘I’m fine, don’t act rashly’.”

"Then where is he?" Lou Qianshan couldn't help asking first.

Jun Li looked up, "Okra,..."

Okra said with a regret: "Don't even think about asking me to pass on a message to him."

"But senior sister, we always have to find him, I... we still have to seek revenge from him."

Okra bit his lip, "He can't escape from this island in the end." He actually hugged the piano and left the tent.

Lou Qianshan had no choice but to glance at Junli, and saw that his face had similar expressions. He stepped forward and said, "Forget Master Junli, Senior Sister is so stubborn. Listening to the voice just now, it seems that it is the direction of the venue, and it is probably the place where we have never entered. In short, it's fine to know that he has nothing to do, so don't worry too much."

Jun Li and Lou Qianshan passed by, and were no longer hostile to her as before. When she heard what she said was reasonable, she responded, "Yes." When she was about to go out of the tent to chase okra, another loud sound of leaves came from a distance.

He stood there, and Lou Qianshan also stopped, "Or it?"

Jun Li nodded.

"What did he say again?"

Jun Li shook his head again. "It's nothing." After a pause, he saw Lou Qianshan's expression seemed unwilling to accept it, and sighed and explained: "He said, 'It's Mrs. Xiang just now'. He knew that I couldn't play the piano and asked me - if okra is here too. But - okra is like this, I'm afraid there is no way to answer him now."

Lou Qianshan made an expression of sudden enlightenment, and said oh, turning away. Chen Fengming might have been trapped here, but he was not trapped. When he heard the sound of the piano, he naturally guessed that Jun Li and Okra were coming together. He seemed unwilling to say more or inconvenient to say more, leaving only the six words "I'm fine, don't act rashly" and said the most important words, but after a while, he still couldn't help asking Okra.

Lou Qianshan sneered in her heart. She almost forgot that Chen Fengming always pretended to be okra in her heart, even though the latter did not take his life and death to heart.

The jealousy that was faintly forgotten in those few months seemed to be ignited again. She remained silent and followed Jun Li out. Before she could fully emerge, she had heard a voice outside saying, "It's true that it's Junior Sister Qiu. I heard the sound of the piano, so I'll walk around. It turns out that Junior Sister has arrived a long time ago!"

She left the tent and saw Mo Si.
