Lantian Station is very lively tonight. After dark, three groups of people came, all men dressed as merchants, drinking in the lobby.
In the guest room at the back, Xue Bai asked the old man he met to sit down and asked, "How do you know, sir, that the gods in the sky are looking at the moon in the mirror?"
"I'll tell you the truth." The old man leaned over and said in a mysterious tone, pretending to be serious: "I am the reincarnation of Taibai Jinxing."
Xue Bai was stunned.
Looking at the other person again, I saw him blinking narrowly and laughing.
"I'm not going to lie, young man, before I was born, my mother-in-law once dreamed that the Taibai Star in the sky fell into her arms. Isn't this the reincarnation of the Star God?"
Xue Baixiao asked: "So sir, you are Li Changgeng?"
"Why Li Changgeng?"
"Taibai Venus is also a star in the sky. Venus is called 'Taibai' among the people. It is in the east in the morning and is called 'Qiming'. It is in the west in the evening and is called 'Chang Geng'."
"Hahaha, it's night, so I'm Li Changgeng? If it's daytime, who am I? Li Qiming?"
"Maybe...Li Taibai?"
Li Bai was very happy when he heard this. He stroked his beard and said, "Young Master, do you know me?"
Xue Bai said: "The name of banishing the immortal has been famous for a long time."
"How long?" Li Bai smiled and teased him because he was young, "Can it be twenty years?"
"Thirteen hundred years." Xue Bai said, "I will not deceive you, sir. I am also the reincarnation of an immortal. I have seen that for thousands of years, the poems about banishing immortals are still recited by thousands of mouths."
"Okay, a good thirteen hundred years, the young man can exaggerate better than me, haha. I wrote 'flying down three thousand feet', but I'm afraid I didn't write enough."
"Have you been to Lushan, sir?"
"I originally planned to go to Lushan to live in seclusion. I got a letter from a friend and went to Chang'an to visit someone." Li Bai said, and suddenly asked: "Hey, how did you know?"
Xue Bai blinked and said, "As I said, I am also the reincarnation of a god."
"That's it." Li Bai was surprised, patted the table, raised his hand and said with a smile: "I know who you are!"
Xue Bai could only smile bitterly.
The two of them still have many friends in common, including Du Fu, Wang Changling, Gao Shi, Liu Changqing, Zhang Bian, Princess Yuzhen... and maybe Wang Wei. Oh, I forgot about Guo Qianli.
In short, Xue Bai guessed that Li Bai would come to Chang'an instead of Lushan this year, maybe it had something to do with him.
He was about to say something when he heard Li Bai say something else.
"You and I have met in heaven."
"Um?"
"Don't remember? I am Na Taibai Jinxing, and you are Na Bi Ma Wen." Li Bai said seriously: "You caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and I arrested you for making alchemy, but you knocked over the alchemy furnace, and you and I were demoted together. To this mortal world..."
Before he could finish the story, Xue Bai looked helpless and shook his head.
Li Baisui couldn't hold it back and laughed heartily: "Isn't it fate that old friends meet each other today?"
"Sir, have you also read "Journey to the West"?"
"Of course I have seen it. Now when I go to Chang'an, I am going to visit Xue Lang, who wrote this book." Li Bai stopped laughing, and there was a look of vicissitudes in his old eyes, but mixed with complacency and high spirits, "Brother Wang Changling wrote to me several times to persuade me to try again and see if I can show my ambition."
Xue Baisui also looked serious and asked: "What do you plan to do, sir?"
"Of course I want to curry favor with Xue Lang and seek an official position." Li Bai said generously, "I have to write a poem to flatter him properly."
Xue Bai was stunned and looked around. Li Bai said such a sentence naturally, but there was no flattery in his expression. He still had that free and uninhibited temperament.
This is a very transparent person. He knows that officialdom is like this, and he is willing to put down his stature to cater to him. There is no shame in making progress.
The problem is that Li Bai thinks he is very flattering, but it is his unrestrained romantic and unrestrained temperament that makes people not feel the comfort of being flattered at all, but instead feels the discomfort of being embarrassed.
If you are his superior, you will easily feel that "he is flattering me against your will again", which is far less comfortable than being his friend, because he treats his friends with an innocent heart.
"By the way, I'm sorry, I haven't asked Mr. Young's name yet."
"Oh, I am..." Xue Bai came back to his senses and said: "My surname is also Li, and my name only has the character 'Qian', and I don't have a name yet. I am the third among brothers, sir, just call me 'Sanlang' .”
While speaking, he glanced at Diao Bing. Diao Bing was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and nodded to show that he understood not to talk nonsense.
"Sanlang is a wonderful man." Li Bai said in high spirits, "It's been a long time since I've had such a free chat with someone. You and I should be friends for the rest of our lives. Come on, let's have another drink."
"I'm a light drinker, so I can only drink...three drinks with my husband."
Xue Bai originally wanted to refuse, but later he rarely made an exception. He did not drink more than he wanted in Huahe Tower, but for the sake of the poet Li Taibai in front of him, he expressed his willingness to drink two more cups.
Li Bai didn't care about this. He didn't drink enough, so he said: "It's rare to meet a close friend, how can you not have fun? How about I write a poem and you drink a glass of wine?"
Xue Bai was already a little drunk after drinking three cups. He became mad and said: "Sir, write a song, and I will write a song. Whoever can't write will have a drink."
"good!"
Li Bai was overjoyed. He drank a cup first and started chanting.
"When will the moon come to the blue sky? I'll stop drinking and ask."
"You cannot reach the bright moon if you climb it, but the moon travels with you..."
The poem sounded clear and clear. Xue Bai rubbed his eyes and felt that everything in front of him was so unreal. The Poet Fairy was comparing poems with himself.
He didn't know what his talent was, so he dared to compete with poetry immortals? But there is a feeling that the trip is worthwhile.
Li Bai was very interested, and put the idea of "the moon is the mirror of the gods" that he had said when talking with Xue Bai before into the poem, and chanted: "The brightness is as bright as a flying mirror approaching the Dan Que, and the green smoke extinguishes the clear brilliance. "
He also thought that he and Xue Bai were both reincarnations of gods, and they must have been friends with Chang'e when they were in heaven. Now that they are gone, Chang'e must be lonely, so he chanted again: "The white rabbit makes medicine, autumn returns to spring, who is Chang'e living alone next to?" ?”
The next two sentences made Xue Bai stunned.
"Today's people cannot see the ancient moon, but today's moon once illuminated the ancients."
"People in ancient times and today are like water flowing, and we look at the bright moon together like this."
Xue Bai opened his mouth and sighed.
Because Li Bai's poem is not famous, but it is such a poem that can be picked up easily. It is different from "sharing the beauty of the moon thousands of miles away" across space. Li Bai's imagination spans time. He looks at the moon from ancient to modern times.
Moreover, the people present were really people from the past and present.
Xue Bai shook his head again.
He felt that he was drunk and everything in front of him was a dream. When he wakes up from the dream, both he and Li Bai will disappear in the long river of time. Only poetry can be passed down.
Everything is empty in front of me, only poetry, which will be passed down for a thousand years and another thousand years.
"Ding."
There was a soft sound, and Li Bai didn't think about it. He raised his glass, touched Xue Bai's glass, and chanted the last sentence.
"I only wish that the moonlight would always shine in the golden cup while singing and drinking."
"Hahaha."
"It's my turn."
Xue Bai opened his mouth to recite a poem, but for a moment he could not recite a poem that could capture Li Bai's artistic conception. He then said: "I just said that the flow of water falls three thousand feet, and it should be written about Lushan Mountain. I will pick up one."
Li Bai picked up his cup and handed it over, smiling and saying: "Then I have two songs."
"Okay, two songs."
Xue Bai actually drank a cup and said: "Lushan, right? I'll come."
He laughed twice and wrote a poem.
“Looking at it horizontally, it looks like a ridge and a peak on the side, with different heights from near to far.”
"I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because I am in this mountain."
After chanting, Xue Bai pointed at Li Bai, waved his hand and said: "You don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain."
"A good poem should be revealed clearly!"
After Li Bai heard this poem, he directly picked up the pen on the desk and wrote it on the wall in one go. Then he turned around and said to Xue Bai: "I have recited two poems, but you are still missing one."
"I had a drink."
"Look at me." Li Bai raised his head and drank a pot of wine directly, took out a purse from his arms, threw it to Diao Bing, and said: "More wine, come on! Come on!"
Xue Bai saw that he was cheating, so he ignored him and chanted whatever he thought of.
"Drinking at Dongpo at night and waking up drunk, returning as if it was midnight...I forgot about it later, in short...I always regret that this body is not mine, when did I forget about camp. From then on, the boat passed away, and the river and sea left it for the rest of my life."
"This is half a song, you still have to drink half a glass."
…
Above the post house, clouds covered the moon, like a god leaning over and looking in the mirror, leaving a shadow.
As the night progressed, laughter and chatter continued in the guest courtyard.
Xue Bai couldn't remember how many poems he had recited. When he was drunk, he thought he was Su Shi and recited "Life is like a journey against the odds, and I am also a traveler", but he forgot the next line.
He is probably only half the size of Su Shi.
After hearing this, Li Bai remembered the poems of his youth and chanted loudly: "Heaven and earth are the reverse journey of all things; time is the passer-by of hundreds of generations. And life is like a dream, how much joy can there be?"
The little half of Su Shi in Xue Bai's mind woke up and chanted loudly: "Sending mayflies to the sky and the earth is just a drop in the vast ocean... But the breeze on the river and the bright moon in the mountains can be heard by the ears and heard by the eyes. The fine quality can be taken as much as you want, and it will be inexhaustible!”
"Hahaha, confidant! Confidant! Come on, don't stop drinking."
Li Bai was also drunk and staggering, but he was still reciting poems one by one and drinking one cup after another.
Xue Bai would never drink again. He felt that Su Shi was already drunk in his mind.
suddenly.
"I come."
In Xue Bai's mind, a person strode forward, it was Xin Qiji.
"Xin Qiji, come here!"
"I see how charming Qingshan is, and I expect that Qingshan will be the same when he sees me."
"Okay, okay!" Li Bai clapped his hands and laughed, "Then what?"
"Last night Songbian fell drunk and asked Songsong how I was doing when I was drunk. I thought Songsong wanted to help him, so he pushed Songsong with his hand and said..."
"What do you mean?"
"go!"
Xue Bai shouted loudly and looked into the room with drunken eyes. Xin Qiji pushed Li Bai hard and fell to the ground. Over there, Su Shi had already passed out from drunkenness. Bai Juyi, Han Yu and others were so drunk that they waved their hands to express their gratitude. Too drunk.
Li Bai laughed loudly, pointed at Xue Bai and said: "Get up, I will compose another poem and you will get up... A gold bottle worth ten thousand dollars worth of wine, a jade plate worth ten thousand dollars worth of treasure."
"Did you compose this poem now?"
"Hahaha, of course, there will be times when the wind blows and the waves break, so you can set sail on the clouds and sail across the sea!"
Xue Bai had no choice but to hold his head on the ground, looked around, saw someone, and said: "Liu...Liu Yuxi, come here."
"good."
Liu Yuxi burped and stood up.
Xue Bai staggered a few steps, shaking his head.
"Thousands of sails are passing by the side of the sunken boat, and thousands of trees are springing in front of the diseased trees. Today I listen to a song, and for the time being I can cheer up with a glass of wine."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yuxi fell down.
Li Bai pushed Xue Bai and said, "Don't get drunk, keep drinking."
"Su Dongpo? Xin Qiji?"
Xue Bai had no choice but to push his man, and finally said: "I lost...Li Taibai, you beat me by thirteen hundred years."
"Hahaha, there is no winning or losing? I can only have fun. Come on, it's my turn."
Xue Bai rubbed his eyes and saw Li Bai staggeringly standing on the table, using his wild imagination to look around at Xue Bai's friends, looking up to the sky and laughing.
“I don’t see you, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky and rushes to the sea never to return.”
"Don't you see, the bright mirror in the high hall has sad white hair, and it looks like blue silk in the morning and turns to snow in the evening."
"If you are happy in life, you must have all the joy, and don't let the golden cup stand empty against the moon."
"I am born with talents that will be useful, and I will come back after all the money I have spent."
"..."
Xue Bai passed away drunk.
He seemed to have had a ridiculous dream. He dreamed that many people were drinking happily in this hall. Li Bai pulled Su Shi and Xin Qiji and muttered: "When you are about to drink, don't stop drinking."
"Sing a song with you, please listen to it for me."
He felt that he had the same unfettered imagination as Li Bai, spanning time and space, bringing together poets and poets from thousands of years.
There were one or two female poets inside, and he thought they were Li Qingzhao.
But the other party came closer and it turned out to be Li Jilan.
"Ji Lanzi, although your poems are good, you can't do it here." Xue Bai murmured.
"But I like Xue Lang."
Xue Bai woke up and suddenly felt a severe headache, as if it was about to split.
Looking around, he saw that he had been moved to the couch in the guest room.
"Lang Jun, you're awake." Diao Bing walked in.
Xue Bai held his forehead and asked, "Where is Mr. Li?"
"I moved him next door, and he was sleeping soundly. Lang Jun, I'm afraid you drank fifteen glasses of wine last night, right?"
"So many?"
"There must be some. All eight jars of wine have been drunk. For every jar of wine Mr. Li drank, Mr. Li always had more than one glass with him."
"Call me 'Sanlang' for the time being. Don't let Mr. Li know my identity."
Diao Bing was stunned and said: "Lang... Sanlang, didn't you say goodbye to Mr. Li? It was not a smooth journey for him to go to Chang'an."
"We are not really going to Chaoyang." Xue Bai said, "And he is here to find me."
While talking, Diao Geng also rushed over and whispered: "Hu Laishui is here."
"Let him in."
After a while, Hu Laishui, dressed as a merchant, rushed over.
Hu Laishui was a clerk at Fengweilou. Because of his achievements in Yanshi, he is now one of the small stewards of Xue Bai's secret forces, and his actions are becoming more and more neat.
"Lang Jun, I disguised myself as a caravan and rested in Xiehu Town in the west last night. At sunset, I met a group of people heading east and asked about Lang Jun. They should be Li Linfu's people."
"Expected."
Hu Laishui said: "The villain pretended to approach them casually, eavesdropped on their conversation, and found that there were barbarians with northern accents among them."
"People from Anlushan?"
"should be."
Diao Geng said: "Lang Jun, Gou Hu must have sent someone to harm you because of the Gao brothers, and did he do it to them?"
After hearing his brother's reckless remarks, Diao Bing frowned and secretly thought that Lang Jun was an official figure, how could he act so lawlessly? When in Chang'an...
"I did it." Xue Bai said.
"Here."
Hu Laishui took the talisman given by Xue Bai and went to arrange it himself.
~~
After breakfast, Xue Bai also arranged some affairs.
Although he was demoted, he still continued to operate his secret power. For example, he couldn't let go of alchemy and wanted to take a look.
It was almost noon when Li Bai staggered out, walked into the living room, and stared at the poems all over the wall in a daze.
Xue Bai rubbed his forehead again, thinking that it was a shame to drink with Li Bai. After a hangover, Li Bai had nothing to do anyway. A single drink could kill him for two days, but since he had a bad drinking capacity and had many things to do... he couldn't do it next time.
Just as he was thinking about it, Li Bai had already called the shopkeeper and wanted another meal of wine and meat.
"Mr. Li, are you going to Chang'an?"
"Yes, Chang'an."
Li Bai, who had just woken up, lost the interest he had last night and felt a little melancholy. He walked to the door and looked to the west, with longing and sadness in his eyes.
He missed Chang'an, but he was afraid of Chang'an.
"The clouds can always cover the sun, and the absence of Chang'an makes people sad."
"Mr. Li is going to find that Xue Bai?"
"good."
Xue Bai said: "But I just heard from a passing merchant that Xue Lang has been demoted and can no longer recommend Mr. Li to serve as an official."
Li Bai actually smiled freely, as if he had long accepted the fate of not being able to fulfill his ambitions.
He waved his hand, temporarily dispersing the unwillingness in his heart like floating clouds.
"Now that we've come here, it's a good idea to go to Chang'an to make friends with him and meet some friends."
"But I also heard that Xue Bai has been demoted to Chaoyang, and Wang Changling has gone to the Longyou shogunate."
Li Bai seemed to have fully woken up just now. He laughed and said, "It doesn't matter, come here in pleasure and return in pleasure. It's a worthwhile trip to get to know Sanlang."
Just as the food and wine were served, he gradually regained his interest and called to Xue Bai: "Come, you and I have another drink, and we'll stop after we get drunk."
"I can't drink anymore. I plan to travel east..."
"How about traveling together?" Li Bai said cheerfully: "When I was young, I was just like you. I went to the country with a sword, said goodbye to relatives and traveled far away. Now we have spread all over the famous rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty. Wherever Sanlang wants to go, I will give you a ride."
"Won't you delay your business, sir?"
"Call me 'Brother Taibai'. What I want to do most today is to travel around the mountains and rivers with my forever friend."
"Okay." Xue Bai said, "I don't want to turn west, and I don't want to go through Lan Pass. Where do you think Brother Taibai should go?"
"How about going northeast, bypassing the east side of Lishan Mountain, and going to Huashan Mountain?"
"good."
The two of them changed their itineraries so casually and headed east to Mount Huashan.
Xue Bai may have ulterior motives, but Li Bai is really cool.
~~
Groups of teams left Lantian Post one after another, and the post house became much quieter.
In the afternoon, a group of big men came on horseback. After drinking tea, they only asked about the whereabouts of a handsome man who was going south and left in a hurry.
In the post house, someone from the business trip who was still there looked at this scene, winked, and arranged for someone to go through the trail through the forest to notify the companions in front of him to set up an ambush.
"These men are so hot-tempered, they don't know how many bandits and bandits there are along the way."
Half an hour later, several beautiful ladies dressed in men's clothing arrived.
They were obviously not used to traveling on the road, so they were very tired and went to Lantian Station to rest.
"I dare to ask the store owner if he has seen a young and handsome husband..."
"He said he was going to Languan."
"The store answered so quickly, but has anyone come to inquire?"
"How do you know, little lady?"
"How long have they been gone?"
"Around noon."
Li Tengkong actually found out from Li Xiu that An Lushan sent people to chase Xue Bai. He was anxious and wanted to rush to inform Xue Bai.
"Seventeenth Mother, come and see." Jiao Nu suddenly stepped forward and said.
Li Tengkong then followed her to the guest house at the back. He saw that the front was quite lively, and some scholars on their way gathered in the hall, pointing and talking.
"To be able to compose so many good poems overnight, I'm afraid I'm a god."
"Just pick one sentence at random, and it's far better than my ten years of carving. It's okay if I don't take the test this spring, alas!"
"Who wrote this?"
After a while, a merchant came over and said, "These poems were left by Li Bai and Xue Bai when they were having a wine fight."
"What?!"
"Everyone, please listen to me. In the eighth year of Tianbao's reign, Xue Bai was appointed as the supervisory censor. He found out that General Li Yanye of Jinwu had withheld the memorial of Zhang Qiantuo, the prefect of Yunnan. It turned out that Luo Feng, the king of Nanzhao, wanted to rebel against the Tang Dynasty. Xue Bai dared to speak out and remonstrated. , was demoted to Chaozhou, passed by Lantian, and met Li Bai, leaving these poems handed down from generation to generation. You can copy and spread them to eliminate evil for the sage..."
Li Tengkong listened and couldn't help but glance at the merchant and had a hunch that this was Xue Bai's person.
The other party seemed to recognize her and nodded.
She went over and asked a few questions in a low voice.
Over there, Li Jilan was staring blankly at the poems on the wall, feeling like he was going crazy.
Thinking that Xue Lang was drinking wine here last night, drinking one glass at a time and leaving poems, she yearned for it and felt that if she could be there, she would be willing to lose ten years of her life.
"Li Taibai in heaven, Mr. Xue on earth."
She whispered Princess Yuzhen's previous comments, thinking that the master was really very discerning.
"Ji Lanzi, let's go."
"I'll take a look again."
"Do you want to read poetry here, or do you want to find someone?"
"Let's go." Li Jilan turned around reluctantly.
After leaving Lantianyi, they walked for a while. When they approached the fork in the road ahead, Li Tengkong turned around and looked around. Seeing that there was no one else on the official road, he whispered: "Let's go to Huashan."
"Why? Not looking for Xue Lang? He..."
"He is in Huashan."
~~
At the same time, on the road south to Languan, two groups of people were fighting.
"We encountered bandits! Go and call the Languan garrison..."
"puff."
Qiao Erwa covered her face and slashed hard with a long-handled Mo Dao in both hands, knocking a big man to the ground.
He was originally just an ordinary farmer, but now he can kill people without any expression on his face.
It's not difficult, as there are many people and weapons, as long as you listen to the leader's arrangements and maintain discipline.
"Last hit, don't leave anyone alive!"
"Tear off all their belongings and clothes and take them away!"
The group of people commanded in an orderly manner and moved quickly, quickly disappearing into the forest.
The very next day, the objects stripped from the deceased's body were delivered to Chang'an City.
…
Chang'an City.
Du Jin picked up a strange talisman engraved with flames, looked at it for a while, and then put it away.
"Rumors spread that An Lushan sent people to kill Xue Bai."
Du Wei said: "Is it useful? I'm afraid they won't believe it."
"Sister, are you saying that the saint and the slave don't believe it?"
"yes."
"They don't need to believe it." Du Jin said: "As long as we can make a big splash, what we want is not the holy family, but fame. When the news spreads, everyone who hates An Lushan will lean towards Xue Bai, this is what everyone expects.”
While talking, Da Xi Yingying hurried over.
"What's the matter?"
"The sage has issued an edict to the world that all the people will be safe and the borders will be peaceful. Due to the requests from all quarters, it is difficult for many scholars to accept the invitation. In the eleventh month of this year, I will be enshrined in the Western Mountains."
"I know, let's check for details."
"Here."
After Da Xi Yingying left, the Du sisters looked at each other, and Du Mei worriedly said: "If this is the case, I'm afraid the saint will not admit that Nanzhao has changed."
Du Jin sneered and said, "That's it. It will make it even more difficult for him to get off the stage."
~~
Huayin County.
There is a lot of excitement inside and outside the county. Everywhere you look, you can see businessmen and civilians pushing wheelbarrows to transport supplies.
Xue Bai and Li Bai did not enter the city, but sat in a small wine shop outside the city, waiting for Diao Bing to come back after asking about it.
"Mr. Lang, there are no guesthouses in Huayin County."
Li Bai asked: "Why?"
"I heard that the saint is going to enshrine Xiyue. This matter has been prepared for several years. In January, the ministers of the court and the central government successively advised him, and many people have received the news in advance. I hope to use this matter to find a career."
"Looking for a career?"
Li Bai murmured and looked up at the sky, as if thinking about the time when he was awaiting imperial edict.
Finally, he shook his head in disinterest.
But before Xue Bai wanted to comfort him, he already smiled and said: "Thousands of sails passed by the side of the sunken boat, and thousands of trees grew in front of the diseased trees... This poem by De Sanlang in Lantian Station is a great comfort in my life."
Xue Bai had actually already remembered that "Thousands of sails passed by the side of the sunken boat, and the sails hung directly on the clouds to help the sea." He did not expect that he could read the original sentence out after being drunk.
Li Bai suddenly became proud and said: "I cheated that night and used an old poem. Today, you and I don't have to stay in the post house. We can just drink in this wine shop and continue to accompany the poem with wine. How about it?"
Xue Bai can no longer afford to play, neither his drinking ability nor his poetic talent are good enough.
He turned to look at the tall mountains in the distance and said, "If we don't reach Huayin County, we can go directly to Huashan Mountain. Brother Taibai will be very happy."
"Sacrifice your life to accompany the gentleman."
Neither of them were pampered, so they planned to climb Mount Hua before it got dark. See if you can find a temple in the mountains at night, or simply camp out.
Li Bai has been going to the country with a sword since he was young. He has traveled all over the world and is very experienced in mountain climbing. He once came to Huashan Mountain and talked about some experiences casually on the way.
He talked about a famous mountain, not only adding a touch of splendor to it with his wild imagination, but also talking about his friends and poems.
From Huashan to Mount Emei, he talked about the scenery of "Mount Emei with a half-moon in the autumn". When he missed his friends, he would take a boat directly to visit them at night...
Xue Bai was listening with great interest when suddenly a group of people carrying more than ten coffins passed by and blocked the way.
In the team, there was actually an official in green robe, who must be the magistrate of Huayin County.
Li Bai was very curious, so he asked a passerby: "What happened? The county magistrate carried the coffin, so many important people died?"
Even when he asked this question, his posture was very chic, which was somewhat inappropriate.
Fortunately, no one died.
"The sage has issued an edict to consecrate Xiyue Mountain! The county magistrate is making preparations."
Xue Bai asked: "Does the county magistrate want to die to remonstrate with the saint?"
"How can that be possible? This is a great thing that will benefit the whole county. Think about it, Sir. When the time comes, all the civil and military officials of the dynasty will come with you. The Huashan Road is not easy to walk. If a few important officials of the court die, the county magistrate will We won't be able to find the coffin for a while, but it will affect our future..."
"He's so thorough."
Xue Bai didn't know what to think. In the end, he could only comment like this.
The head of a county, in order to cater to the holy will, has made such thorough preparations early, so why worry about not being promoted?
Li Bai laughed loudly and chanted: "Double colorful phoenixes from afar, gracefully caressing three green birds. Returning to Yaotai, singing and dancing Yushan Cen. With the joy of Qin Moth, he regained the heart of the Queen Mother. A mere Jingwei bird, with its title Mukong groaned."
Others did not understand the meaning of his poem, but Xue Bai could hear the irony in it. He mocked the magistrate of Huayin as a colorful phoenix who could please the Queen Mother, while he was a jingwei bird that held a tree in its mouth and mourned alone.
"Let's go."
After the team carrying the coffin left, they continued to climb Mount Huashan.
Looking up, I can actually see the Huashan Temple that is still under construction in the distance, standing majestically on the top of the mountain, as if today's martial arts and culture are on the top of the Tang Dynasty...
