Just as the conversation reached this point, a hint from Li Xiuyuan suddenly echoed in He Kao's primordial spirit: "Ask him if he has ever heard of the 'Sovereign of Jianji Palace, Li Siran'.
He Kao voiced the question like a megaphone: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, have you ever heard of the Sovereign of Jianji Palace, Li Siran?"
Zhang Jingui, surprised, replied, "That's my grandmaster! My master mentioned his name, how do you know the title of the Sovereign of Jianji Palace?"
Receiving another divine thought from Li Xiuyuan, He Kao inquired further, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, do you know Zhou Yuandan?"
Zhang Jingui answered, "Ah, that's my master!"
He Kao: "Didn't you just say your master was called Zhou Zhidan?"
Zhang Jingui explained, "That was the name he changed to later in life; when he was young, he was called Zhou Yuandan because he was born on New Year's Day... he mentioned this to me."
