Story:
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Jieyu, a reclusive scholar from the State of Chu, told Jianwu that there was a Gushe Immortal Mountain in the North Sea. He claimed the immortals living there could make the world's crops abundant.
Jianwu, finding Jieyu's words grandiose yet impractical, vastly different from common sense, and unreasonable, told Lianshu that Jieyu was merely boasting.
Lianshu pondered for a moment and then told Jianwu that Jieyu's words might not be entirely without reason.
