The ant king saw that it was very surprised when it saw this album, and said: "This album is made by Sikong Xiaoyi. Today, Xiaoyi is leaving the ant clan. You were recommended by Xiaoyi. It is kind to you, so you should go Give it away." The swordsmith knew he was ashamed. In the past, it thought that Xiao Yi was just a Confucian scholar, bound by red tape. But now after seeing this album, he realized that Xiao Yi was far-sighted and his strategy was far beyond it.
The swordsmith thanked him and then exited, driving the car all the way. By the time it arrived at Shiliting, Xiaoyi had already left. His car was parked where he was, and he got out and stood in front of the car. In fact, he had a lot to say to Xiao Yi, but he didn't cherish it. This was one of his biggest regrets in his life.
The little ant walked to the clan elder's grave and stopped. He got off the car and knelt in front of the clan elder's tombstone, kowtowed three times, then looked up at it and said, "Grandpa, little ant is leaving the ant clan and will go to the Middle Earth to realize his grandson's lofty ambition." Then he kowtowed again, Burn some paper money, the ashes are flying in the wind, and the rising flames are dancing wildly. Burn incense and pray, saying: "You love your grandson the most. May God bless your grandson to succeed and fulfill your dreams." Then he stood up and stood behind him. carriage.
Go straight north to the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, park the carriage at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, and hike up the mountain yourself. Wuzhi Mountain towers into the sky, and there are lush forests with spreading branches and leaves. When the little ant walked into this secluded forest, there was a path leading straight up. There are many strange rocks here, or gravels scattered among the grass. Continuing this path straight up to the sky, the path is winding and winding. Looking up at the steep mountains in front of me, are they the legendary five pillars supporting the sky? Maybe this is the miraculous workmanship of nature, but I gave birth to this endless blindness. think. Looking from a distance, I saw a few thatched cottages deep in the clouds and mist. They were hidden in the mountains, isolated from the world and away from the bustling world thousands of miles away. I sighed and said, "Am I in a fairyland? The clouds and mist are filling the air." Everywhere is a place for immortals to practice." Xiao Yi was extremely happy, finally finding a place to stay, where he could settle down and watch the changes. The little ant was only focused on walking, but ignored that the road under his feet was so narrow and the muddy path was so slippery. If he accidentally stepped on it, he would fall down and hang on the cliff. Looking up at the surroundings, there are no insects around, causing the sky to respond and the earth to be inactive. At this life-threatening moment, I grabbed a nest of grass and kicked on the cliff with one foot to stop the risk of falling. I gasped for air, tried to push up with one foot, and used the other foot to help, holding on tightly to this He gathered grass and moved his body slowly upwards. His arms were wrapped around the path, struggling to support Linkong's body. One foot stepped on the air, and the body fell suddenly, grabbing the roadside with one hand. Unexpectedly, there is nothing to grab on the muddy path, and we can only slide down with gravity. He quickly grabbed the roots of the grass with his other hand, kicked his feet wildly, panted heavily, and took a long time to calm down. He pushed himself upwards, propped up his upper body, crossed one leg, and rolled his body upwards to get out of danger. At this time, its legs were weak and trembling, so it had to sit down and rest for a while to regain its strength before continuing on its way.
About half an hour later, I stood up holding on to the stone wall, walked slowly forward, entered the secluded forest, and stood under the thatched cottage. There were stone slabs here, covered with moss. The little ant climbed up the stone slab, stood outside the firewood gate, and went to knock on the door. The person who opened the door was a child who asked, "What kind of ant are you?" He looked at it again, looking embarrassed and contemptuous. . Xiao Yi reported his identity and said: "I'm Xiao Yi, I came here to visit you when I was passing by." The boy looked at Xiao Yi's body and showed surprise. It turned out that he was Xiangguo Big Yi of the ant tribe, but judging from his appearance Tattered, he said: "Xiangguo Big Ant, what are you..." The little ant looked at this body, but smiled and said: "When I was driving on the mountain road, I almost fell off the cliff. My whole body was scratched by random branches, and I was embarrassed. It's unbearable." The boy said, "Sir, I expected you to come and will wait for you in the back mountain." Then he led him into the courtyard, entered the house, changed his clothes, hung the long sword on his waist, and entered the back mountain.
There is a stone wall standing high in front of you, and you can hear elegant piano music coming from the stone wall. The little ants went away in search of the music. Entering the grass and looking up, there is a pavilion. It can be concluded that the sound of the piano must come from this pavilion. Look around and look for stone walls on the mountain road. The little ants climbed up the stone wall along this path. The path was covered by weeds on both sides, with branches stretching out and many thorns. The little ant pulled out the long sword from his waist and chopped off the thorns, looking for the source of the music. Climb the stone wall and stand outside the pavilion. I saw Yan Sangzi sitting in the pavilion, playing the piano and looking up. The little ant saluted and said: "Sir." Yan Sangzi stood up and returned the salute and said: "The prime minister is the great ant." The little ant smiled and said: "I have resigned from the position of the prime minister, left the ant tribe, and prepared to go north to China. Sir, please do not use it as the prime minister. It’s polite to call me Xiao Yi.” Yan Sangzi looked at Xiao Yi standing outside the pavilion and said, “Okay, okay, I heard that Mr. Bai Zhen, the crown prince of the termite tribe, had such an evaluation of you. You little ant is not a thing in the pond, maybe it is a dragon. If it is a dragon, it should soar in the nine heavens. The dragon sees its head but not its tail." After hearing this, the little ant said: "That's ridiculous, that's ridiculous." Yan Sangzi said: "It's rare that you have a chance in this life, little yi! Why don't you come in and sit down." Xiao yi cupped his hands in front of him and said, "Then there will be more interruptions." Then he came in and sat opposite him.
The swordsmith played a piece of music for Xiao Yi again. Xiao Yi closed his eyes and listened, as if he was enjoying the beautiful music. Then I opened my eyes and the music stopped. The swordsmith asked: "What kind of music is this?" The little ant laughed and said: "I don't know the music. The high mountain is divided into four sections, and the flowing water is eight sections. Fully use the overtones, roll, whisk, note, up, down and other fingerings. , expressing the surging force of flowing water, the majestic and ethereal spirit, sometimes with heavy bass, as if seeing an old man with long beard and white hair playing the piano among the mountains and rivers of the world, with his hair tied up in a high bun, and the long hair behind the bun is flying in the wind. The world is covered with heavy fog, and facing the majestic mountains and rivers, they are majestic and steady, and the surging water is broad and vast, just like the boundless sea. Maybe this is how the mountains and rivers are." Yan Sangzi was very pleased after hearing this. Said: "A song of high mountains and flowing water, it is rare for an insect to have a close friend, and it is difficult to find a close friend throughout the ages. It is said that Yu Boya was good at playing the qin, and Zhong Ziqi was good at listening to it. Boya played the qin with his ambition in the mountains, and Zhong Ziqi said: "It's so good, it's as towering as Mount Tai. ". Aiming at flowing water, Zhong Ziqi said: "It rushes like a river." Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi accompanied Zhong Ziqi in the mountains and rivers. Boya played the harp and Ziqi listened to it. It was a happy thing. Later, Ziqi died of illness, and Boya It is said that if there is no sound in the world, one will break the strings of the harp in front of the tomb and never play the harp for the rest of his life. Maybe you are my bosom friend. Friends are easy to find, but bosom friends are hard to find, just like Boya and Ziqi'er."
In the pavilion, the little ant listened to Yan Sangzi playing the mountain and flowing water. The sound of the piano echoed gracefully in the valley. At this time, its heart returned to calm and was intoxicated by the elegant music of the piano. Then the sound of the piano stopped. Xiao Yi smiled and said: "I am lucky enough to be able to listen to Mr. Gao Shan Liu Shui playing. It is a great honor, a great honor." Yan Sangzi said: "Little Yi is worried about state affairs, how can I have such leisurely leisure time? I am also lucky to meet people like Xiao Yi. A confidant like Yi is like the sword of benevolence and righteousness hanging on Xiao Yi's body. He is a gentleman." Xiao Yi said: "Mr. Xiao Yi Guan is very talented. He once assisted King Ruluo Xi to destroy the Cockroach Kingdom and unify Ruluo Xizhou. I, the King, cherishes talents and loves talents. Why don’t I contribute to the country and display my lofty ambitions like your junior brother?" Yan Sangzi said: "When it comes to being an official, I am not as good as my junior brother. I am like a wandering cloud and a wild crane. I am used to being free and undisciplined, so I decided to live in seclusion in Wuzhishan. It's not better if you don't hear about state affairs." Little Yi looked at it and said: "It's not that you don't know how to be an official, but since King Ruluo Xi passed away, he decided to live in seclusion here for the rest of his life." Yan Sangzi said He smiled and said: "Exactly, exactly. King Ruluo Xi was a talented man with great ambitions and had the ambition to unify the South China Sea. Unfortunately, God was jealous of his talents and died young. After your governance, the Ant Clan became more powerful and defeated the Termite Clan, which laid the foundation for the unification of the South China Sea." Obstacles. Although the termites are assisted by the Prime Minister Ant, it is difficult to turn things around. They are just struggling to the death. The only one who can compete for supremacy is Ruluo Nanzhou. The war between the termites and Ruluo Nanzhou will be a matter of time. , then wouldn’t it be superfluous for me to assist the ant king? It’s better to sit back and watch the changes in the mountains and rivers.” After hearing Yan Sangzi’s remarks, the little ant said: “Confucius once had In a word, don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Your husband would like to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, so I will stay and learn music from him, and then go north after the ant tribe unifies the countries in the South China Sea." After hearing this, Yan Sangzi said: "Okay. ." It seems that Yan Sangzi is happy to accept Xiao Yi as his disciple. Xiao Yi stood up and knelt down and said, "Sir, sir, please accept my disciple's bow." Then he bowed and bowed. Yan Sangzi stood up and bowed in return, saying, "Little Yi, no courtesy." Yan Sangzi put away his piano and walked out of the pavilion. Accompanying him, he helped Yan Sangzi down the mountain. After entering the thatched cottage, the boy cleaned out the rooms for the little ants to live in.
In the morning, Xiao Yi followed Yan Sangzi to learn the music and music. In my spare time, I invite my friends to go on outings from time to time, and go boating with them under the cliff. There is a gentle breeze and the water is calm. Raise wine and play congratulations, and sing a graceful chapter. When I was young, the moon rose above the east mountain, wandering among the bullfights. The vast white dew stretches across the river, and the water reaches the sky. Just like a reed, crossing the vast expanse of river, it is as vast as Feng Xu riding the wind, but I don't know where it is going? Although there are some who return home in joy, or drink from the water and write poems. It is as vast as the vastness of heaven and earth, and the clouds are wandering under the cliff. The stars of Mount Emei are shining brightly, wandering among the bullfights, rushing across the sky, and the river breaks through the morning sky, overlooking the vastness of the universe. It talks about the common people in heaven and earth, whether it is flowing water or mountains, leisurely rafting on the river, or stringing strings and singing, the beauty of the splendid chapter, the group of elegant guests, the fine wine and jade liquid drinking each other, is better than the clouds in the palace, the clear shadows dancing . Overlooking the majestic green mountains of E'ehu. In the secluded forest, dust and smoke rise from the small spring stone mountain stream. Playing in the mountains and rivers, waves in the river. The invitation from the thatched cottage is a joy to return, which is the joy of seclusion.
