Long ago, there lived a man named Su Hexiang on the outskirts of town. He encountered a young man who had lost his way and collapsed from exhaustion, and he offered both the young man and the boy who was with him the night at his home. Su Hexiang enjoyed talking to people after a long time, but when he learned that their journey was a pilgrimage to the Dragon King, he hastily tried to stop them. He warned them they would be killed like "Lanling King." Lanling King was the name of a man who was sentenced to death by the emperor because of his extraordinary beauty.
