The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 236 "Sleepwalking Tianmu sings farewell"

"The road to Shu is difficult?!"

"Yes, at this time, the whole article describes the difficulty of the Road to Shu, so it is appropriate to name it the Difficulty of the Road to Shu, it is the most appropriate!"

"Such a great talent, I wonder what that person's name is?"

"The whole poem reveals a transcendent fairy spirit, which has the appearance of banishing a fairy!"

"I wonder if you can sell the first draft of this poem to me. I can pay a high price!"

"Sell it to me and I'll pay you one hundred taels!"

"I'll pay you a thousand taels!"

"..."

After everyone read "The Road to Shu is Difficult", some people who appreciated it and had financial resources shouted loudly and wanted to buy the first chapter in Li Bai's hands.

Hearing the voices of the people around him, Li Bai seemed to have just come back to his senses. It is also true that when Li Bai was composing "The Difficult Road to Shu" just now, his whole body was immersed in the dangers of Shu, and he did not notice the changes in the surrounding environment.

Seeing that everyone in the restaurant wanted to pay a high price to buy the first draft in his hand, Li Bai shook his head slightly to refuse, "Please forgive me, my friend is about to leave Chang'an and return to his hometown of Shu. However, Shu is difficult, although he stayed here. Chang'an is also quite difficult, but I also want my friends to stay in Chang'an City!"

"But I have made up my mind, so I can only write this poem and give it to my friend!"

Hearing Li Bai tell the reason, everyone in the restaurant showed admiration, and even more expressions of disappointment. Most people also looked at the man next to Li Bai, with envy on their faces.

They were envious that the other party could have a friend like Li Bai.

After hearing Li Bai's words, the people in the restaurant stopped talking and no longer mentioned buying the first draft of "The Road to Shu is Difficult".

"In that case, can you please write another piece of "The Road to Shu"? We will be willing to pay for it then!"

“That’s right, we’re willing to buy it even if it’s not the first draft!”

"Can you copy another one for us?"

"..."

When they saw the first draft of "The Road to Shu Is Difficult" they couldn't buy it, so they asked Li Bai to copy another one.

They can naturally see that "The Road to Shu is Difficult" is good, and it will definitely be famous for generations to come and be praised by future generations.

It would be a good story if they could obtain the original author's authentic work and then pass it on to their descendants.

Hearing what the people in the restaurant said, Li Bai naturally did not refuse this time. He nodded and said with a smile: "In that case, it's better to be respectful than to obey!"

Seeing Li Bai agree, everyone in the restaurant smiled.

Li Bai's friend on the side saw this scene, looked at Li Bai with a sincere smile, and then said to Li Bai on the side:

"I never thought that Taibai would have such literary talent. If you are such a Taibai, how could you have no way to serve your country?"

Li Bai's friend did not want Li Bai's answer, but continued: "Although Taibai you wrote this article "The Road to Shu is Difficult", I have also made up my mind and plan to leave Chang'an and return to my hometown Shu. As for this article "The Road to Shu is Difficult" "It's difficult", I just accepted it with a smile!"

"This is what I did for you, just take it!"

After hearing his friend's words, Li Bai quickly waved his hand and said.

At the same time, he took out his seal from his waist, printed his seal on the paper, and finally handed it to his friend beside him solemnly.

Seeing this, my friend took it very seriously.

……

In the huge city of Chang'an, many things happen every day, including joy, anger, sorrow, love, hatred, and hatred. What happened in the restaurant today was quickly spread, and then spread quickly in Chang'an City.

The fastest spreading song is "The Road to Shu is Difficult", which is sung by more people. Many literati hold a copy of "The Road to Shu is Difficult" and feel the words in it.

As time went by, Li Bai's name became more and more known to more people. Even some dignitaries heard of Li Bai's name and learned about Li Bai's literary talent. They invited Li Bai to dinners at home and composed poems for fun.

At first, Li Bai was extremely happy with this situation. After all, he could make his name known to high-ranking officials, and then be appreciated by Bole, who would recommend him to the court as an official and show his ambition.

But as time went by, he became more and more disgusted with this situation, and during this period he also suffered the contempt of some dignitaries.

For example, at this time, Li Bai was invited to the residence of a court official. Because the court official wanted to entertain his friends, he invited Li Bai to come and compose poems and have fun.

Li Bai has experienced many such things, but this time it was different. He could feel that the officials who invited him here looked at him with a touch of contempt, as if they looked down on him extremely.

This made him very unhappy.

But what if he is unhappy in his heart? He is just a white man. Compared with the dignitaries who serve as officials in the court, he is just a lowly commoner.

At this time, in the magnificent hall, maids in beautiful costumes danced gracefully, there were bursts of elegant music, delicious food, and fine wine. However, Li Bai, who was invited, could only sit at the end, as if he was being treated as a guest. A entertainer.

Thinking of this, a surge of anger suddenly surged in Li Bai's chest, but he did not get angry directly and was still observing the situation calmly.

But I saw people mingling with each other at the top of the hall, and laughter and laughter could be heard in my ears as they pushed cups and changed cups. Li Bai, who was sitting at the end, seemed to be an outsider, watching all this quietly.

This will gradually come to a climax. The official from the DPRK and China who invited Li Bai suddenly looked at Li Bai, and then said angrily:

"I heard that Li Bai is quite talented in Chang'an City, and his poems are even known as banishing immortals and dusting off the dust. Today, I specially invited Li Bai to come to the mansion to compose poems and entertain us!"

"I didn't expect that I would invite Li Bai here, Shangguan is so grand!"

"I didn't expect that we would be able to listen to beautiful poems. This time it all depends on Shangguan!"

"Then why don't Li Bai write a poem quickly?"

"..."

As the master invited Li Bai to come, the people in the hall suddenly flattered him. While flattering, they also pointed at Li Bai, and their words were full of gestures toward their own servants.

At this point, Li Bai was filled with indignation, but he didn't show it on his face. When he heard the people in the hall being bossy to him, he immediately stood up obediently and said to the master above:

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders, and since the official has brought me pen and ink, I will compose a poem at this time, thinking that it is a joy to cultivate oneself!"

"it is good!"

Hearing Li Bai's words, everyone in the hall smiled. For them, this kind of casual instructing others to do things seemed to be something they had become accustomed to.

After hearing Li Bai's smooth agreement, I thought Li Bai was a lowly person.

Under the gaze of everyone, the waiters and maids brought all the pen and ink into the hall, and Li Bai also walked to the front of the heaven to commit the crime, and began to frown and meditate, giving people the appearance of thinking hard and composing poetry.

The people in heaven were also waiting quietly, and the voices of conversation could not help but become a little lower.

While thinking deeply, Li Bai thought of a lot.

He thought about his experience in Chang'an City, the close friends he made in Chang'an City, and the unfair experience he suffered at this time. Everything comes into view at this time and can be seen again.

After arriving in Chang'an, what greeted him was not being able to express his ambitions, but all kinds of difficulties, which gradually made his heart cold.

The expectations for Chang'an City gradually disappeared.

He then thought of the friends he had made in Chang'an City. Although these friends had different personalities, without exception, they all had the same preferences as him.

For example, in a Taoist temple outside the city, I have a good friend. Although he is a Taoist, he also shares the same language with me. This Taoist friend has also offered to help me recommend myself to noble people many times, but he has always been rejected by me. Declined.

Of course, that was just after I came to Chang'an City for the first time, and I was inevitably full of confidence. I didn't expect that after a period of time in Chang'an City, I would find it so difficult.

The Taoist friend's name was Wu Yun. He was passionate about mountains and rivers and was good at composing poems. He and he once drank and had fun in the mountains, admiring the scenery of nature.

Later, he regretted many times, regretting that he had so readily rejected Wu Jun's suggestion. Otherwise, at this moment, he would have already entered the official position because of Wu Jun's recommendation!

Thinking of this, he came back to his senses again.

In the hall, under the gaze of everyone, Li Bai finally began to write on the rice paper. At the same time, some people on the side couldn't help but get up and get closer to watch.

People around saw Li Bai's pen moving like a dragon and a snake, and each word jumped out on the paper, forming beautiful sentences:

"Dream Haike talks about Yingzhou, and Yan Tao's letter is hard to come by."

When they saw the first sentence, the people around them looked confused, but then they saw the word "Yingzhou". Some people who didn't know the allusion naturally looked confused.

And those who know the allusions will naturally understand that Yingzhou is one of the three fairy mountains. It is said that the first emperor of Qin once sent three thousand boys and girls across the East China Sea, just to find the three ethereal fairy mountains in the East China Sea.

The three fairy mountains are: Yingzhou, Fangzhang, and Penglai!

Obviously, in the poems written by Li Bai at this time, Yingzhou was the legendary fairy mountain.

"It is worthy of the name of banishing immortals. The poems written are indeed full of immortality, and there is a feeling of floating out of the world!"

The people on the side couldn't help but admire.

“I wonder what the next verses will be like, I’m really looking forward to it!”

"Stop talking and watch quietly!"

Everyone's eyes fell on the rice paper again. As Li Bai's pen moved, everyone's eyes also moved slowly:

"The more people talk about Heavenly Mother, the bright clouds may disappear or be visible."

"Tianmu reaches the sky and stretches across the sky, overwhelming the five mountains and covering the red city."

"The rooftop is 48,000 feet long, and I want to fall to the southeast."

"I want to dream of Wu Yue and fly to the moon in Jinghu Lake overnight."

"The moon over the lake shines on my shadow and sends me to Yanxi River."

"Xie Gong's residence is still there today, and the Lu River is clear and the apes are singing."

"Here..."

As I write this, the people around me can't help but look confused. After all, I am in Chang'an at this time, why did I suddenly arrive in the southeast?

After all, the Tianmu Mountain that appears in the poem is in the southeast.

Is it possible that Li Bai in front of me once visited Tianmu Mountain in the southeast, so he felt something in his heart and wrote this poem?

Li Bai, who was writing, couldn't help but stop and ponder for a moment.

Once, when he and his friend Wu Yun were chatting in the mountains, they naturally talked about the great country of the Tang Dynasty and the countless scenic spots that they all yearned for.

Among them, fellow Taoist Wu Yun once called home all over the world and visited many places, among which Tianmu Mountain was one of them.

This also made Li Bai quite expectant and yearning in his heart, thinking that he must go to Tianmu Mountain in his free time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Tianmu Mountain.

Seeing Li Bai stop writing, people in the hall thought that this poem was over. Just when they were about to speak, Li Bai started writing with ink again, and his pen was erratic.

"Wear Xie Gong's clogs on your feet and climb the Qingyun Ladder."

"You can see the sun from half the wall, and you can hear chickens in the sky."

"Thousands of rocks have many twists and turns, and the path is uncertain. The lost flowers leaning against the rocks are suddenly dim."

"Bears roar and dragons sing in Yinyan Spring, and chestnut trees in deep forests are astonishing at the top of the mountain."

"The clouds are green as if it is raining, and the water is still and full of smoke."

"Thunderbolts struck the ranks, and the hills collapsed."

"The stone door of the cave opens suddenly."

"The vast blue sky has no bottom, and the sun and moon shine on the gold and silver platform."

"Ni is the clothes, the wind is the horse, and the princes of the clouds come and go one after another."

"The tiger drums and the harp plays, and the luan returns to the car, and the immortals line up like hemp."

"Suddenly my soul palpitates and my soul moves, I suddenly start and sigh."

"Only the pillow of sleep is lost in the haze that always comes."

"The same is true for pleasure in the world. Since ancient times, everything has flowed eastward."

At this point, everyone was finally captivated by Li Bai's literary talent. Through simple words, they were able to get a glimpse of Li Bai's unconstrained thoughts from the poems and imagine the fairyland-like scene.

Reading Li Bai's poems is simply a top-notch enjoyment.

Everyone can't help but be immersed in their own imagination, just as the poem says, "Ni is the clothes, the wind is the horse, the tiger is the drum, the luan is the carriage." They flew to Tianmu Mountain in the poem, and met the legendary immortal. Have fun together.

At this point, everyone thought that the poem was really over. However, when they saw Li Bai continuing to write, their wonder and shock were once again suppressed, and they quietly watched the words on the paper:

"When will you return after leaving?"

"Let's put the white deer among the green cliffs and ride to visit famous mountains as soon as possible."

"An Neng is able to bend his eyebrows and bend his waist to serve the powerful, which makes me unhappy!?"

However, when the last two lines of words appeared on the paper, the expressions of everyone present changed, and then they suddenly looked up at Li Bai in the center of heaven, and their eyes changed when they looked at Li Bai.

His eyes were full of shock, disbelief, and even admiration...

The host who invited Li Bai as a guest also saw the last sentence, and the smile on his face suddenly froze. He looked sharply at Li Bai in the center of the hall. Just when he was about to speak, Li Bai actually put the brush in his hand on the table. Throw it away, then wave your sleeves, hold your head high, neither humble nor arrogant, and stride out of the hall!

Everyone couldn't help but look up. In their eyes, they could only see a handsome and elegant back, dressed in white, a gentleman!

What a handsome young man dressed in white and proud of his position!

Although some people were unhappy, they had to admire Li Bai's courage!
