"…It is said that the Jade Water River God was a true dragon descended from the celestial realm, come to purge all evil demons from the world."
"With the thunderous power of storms and the compassionate heart of a Bodhisattva, he sent shivers through the ranks of evil and restored harmony to the human realm!"
"There is a poem in his praise:"
"Sculpted in white jade, his bones are of immortals, the fire of heaven and thunder forge his soul."
"Banishing demons and eradicating evil, he is the everlasting true dragon on the path to the One!"
Along the banks of the Jade Water River, the newly built temple of the river god was adorned with bright lanterns and banners, with a high platform erected in front.
The performance of the opera troupe had just concluded. Amidst the sound of gongs and drums, the host invited the recently popular storyteller Li Bingjun to take the stage.
