Three days later, one hundred and thirty-two pavilion masters left one after another and began to return to Tangming Pavilion in various counties. He Daquan, Yang Tao and Cen Xun served as deputy pavilion masters and went to Tangming Pavilion in Baima County, Heyang County and Hedong County respectively.
Li Bai, Sima Heng and Zi Yan temporarily managed Tangming Pavilion in these three counties.
Sima Heng and Meng Haoran sat in the Anlu Baizhaoshan General League, while Xu Qing and Yuan Danqiu sat in the Yiyang Minggao Mountain General League. The four were divided geographically and handled the affairs of the alliance respectively.
Li Bai, on the other hand, was in seclusion at the top of Baizhao Mountain to understand Ling Yun Ta, and made all-out preparations for the fight for the leader of the martial arts alliance. Zi Yan and the Monkey King stayed with him to take care of his daily life and food.
One month later, Li Bai achieved great results. Lingyun Qi achieved a breakthrough and reached the seventh level.
However, Li Bai understood that the most powerful ones in Lingyun Tread were the five layers of Lingyun Fire, Lingyun Water, Lingyun Earth, Lingyun Wood and Lingyun Gold. Now that he had mastered Lingyun Fire, it was time to enlighten the other four layers.
After fire is water, how can Ling Yun Shui realize it?
Zi Yan said: "Your Ling Yunta has always understood it from poetry. If you write poetry again, you will definitely gain something."
Li Bai shook his head and said: "It is easy to compose poetry, but it is difficult to compose epiphany poems. At this stage of Ling Yun's life, it would be difficult to make a breakthrough if it were not for Tianyuan's poems, but Tianyuan's poems have to wait for the right time, and the poems will naturally form when the time comes. If he messes around at will now
If you do it, it will destroy the fate of heaven."
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"wait!"
"What are you waiting for?"
"Waiting for Tianyuan."
"Okay, since I am your wife, I will listen to you."
…
In the seventeenth year of Kaiyuan, on August 5, Xuanzong's 40th birthday, a grand celebration was held across the country, and August 5 was designated as the Qianqiu Festival. All states in the world were ordered to have a feast and take a three-day holiday.
When the news came, Li Bai said to Zi Yan: "The world is on vacation for three days, how can we fall behind? We have been in seclusion for many days, and it is time to go out for a walk."
When Zi Yan heard this, she was filled with joy and said, "Okay, I will accompany you in retreat every day. Monkey and I have long wanted to go out for a walk. Should we go back to the General League to say goodbye to Sima Heng and the others first?"
Li Bai shook his head and said: "They are all busy recruiting talents for the World Alliance, so let's not disturb them and just leave by ourselves."
So they took the Monkey King with them and went down to Baizhao Mountain. They hired a small boat and sailed down the river to have fun and relax.
The boat sailed slowly in the river, the scenery on both sides was beautiful, and both of them were very happy.
About half an hour later, the two of them suddenly saw a small island in the middle of the river. The chrysanthemums on the island were in full bloom, which was very beautiful. Zi Yan and the Monkey King wanted to go to the island to play, and Li Bai naturally agreed, so they asked the boatman to dock and wait.
Then go to the island.
The island is quite large, covered with autumn chrysanthemums, red, white, yellow, purple, all kinds of, very eye-catching. The monkey king was very excited and kept rolling around among the chrysanthemums.
When Li Bai and Zi Yan saw this, they smiled knowingly and walked along the embankment to enjoy the flowers.
While walking, the two of them suddenly heard someone reciting poetry in front of them. Li Baidun was interested, so he pulled Zi Yan and walked forward quickly. They saw a man of about thirty years old standing in front of the flower with a heroic look on his face, holding his hand.
Take the dogwood and chant loudly:
(Remembering Shandong brothers on September 9th)
Alone as a stranger in a foreign land,
I miss my loved ones even more every festive season.
I know from afar where my brothers are climbing,
There is one less person planted with dogwood trees.
"What a poem!" Li Bai shouted as soon as the man finished reciting the poem.
The man was stunned, and looked up to see a man and a woman standing in front of him. The man was handsome and heroic, and the woman had a fairy appearance.
At this time, Li Bai stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Li Bai, this is my wife Ziyan. We were passing by and happened to listen to my brother reciting a poem. This poem is excellent, so I sighed for a while. I apologize for disturbing you."
The man smiled and returned the greeting: "Li Bai, you are too serious. I am Wang Wei. I am writing a poor poem. It is really rude!"
"How can I be rude with such a masterpiece? To be honest, I am also a person who loves poetry, so I intend to make friends with you!"
"Haha, Li Bai, you are so generous. Wang Wei is also a good friend. Well, I am also willing to treat you as a friend."
"That's very good, Wang Wei, are you from Anlu?"
Wang Wei shook his head: "I am from Puzhou in the east of Hedong. I came to Anlu just to visit my friend Meng Haoran. The boat happened to be here and I was attracted by Qiu Ju, so I went to the island to visit."
"Meng Haoran? Are you Meng Haoran's friend?" Li Bai and Zi Yan were both surprised.
"Do you also know Meng Haoran?"
"More than just knowing him, he is very familiar with him. He is the general manager of our world alliance."
When Wang Wei heard this, he was surprised and asked: "Tianxia Alliance? Li Bai? Are you Li Bai, the leader of the Tianxia Alliance?"
"Exactly!" Li Bai said with a smile.
"Haha..." Wang Wei laughed, "I didn't expect you to be Li Bai. I just thought you were Li Bai with the same name. I really didn't expect to meet Li Bai, the leader of the Tianxia Alliance who has recently become famous in the world. I'm so disrespectful.
!”
"Wang Wei, you are serious. What is the leader of the alliance? Everyone just wants to contribute to the martial arts world."
"The leader is so humble. Wang Wei admires him very much. By the way, why are you here?"
"I recently encountered constraints in my practice, so I went out with my wife to relax. We also saw the autumn chrysanthemums blooming here, and we went ashore to enjoy the flowers."
"Having encountered shackles? I heard that you have learned Taishang Laojun's Lingyun Step. Are you encountering shackles in practicing this heavenly skill?"
"Exactly, I haven't been able to break through the sixth level of Lingyun Water since I realized the fifth level of Lingyun Fire. I'm very distressed about this."
"Ling Yun Shui? What a coincidence, Li Bai. In my early years, I realized from poems that martial arts are also related to water, and recently I have been distressed because of my inability to improve."
When Li Bai heard this, he was very curious and asked: "Wang Wei, what kind of martial arts have you realized?"
"A set of boxing techniques, the name of which is 'Xingyunliushui'."
"Xingyunliushui? Why do I feel that this boxing technique has some inexplicable relationship with Lingyunshui?"
Wang Wei smiled: "Maybe everyone is related to water!"
"Well, by the way, Wang Wei, which poem inspired you to learn about boxing? Can you read it to me? I want to find some enlightenment from it."
"Okay, I'll read it to you once." After that, Wang Wei began to read:
(painting)
From a distance, the mountains look colorful,
There is no sound from the water up close.
Spring is gone and flowers are still there,
Birds are not surprised when people come.
After listening to this, Li Bai murmured: "Looking at the mountains from a distance, they are colored, and hearing the water up close is silent...the water up close is silent...the water is silent...silent...silent and colorless." As he thought about it, the Ling Yun Fire in his body suddenly burst out.
It was tumbling and seemed to be responding.
Li Bai was pleasantly surprised, thinking there was a real romance, but Ling Yun's fire boiled for a while and then calmed down, without any further movement. Li Bai couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Wang Wei saw that Li Bai was sometimes happy and sometimes disappointed, so he asked: "What's wrong with Li Bai? Has he had any enlightenment?"
Li Bai shook his head: "I thought I had an epiphany, but in the end I didn't."
"I once met a reclusive master who once showed me a path that greatly improved my martial arts. Now I will also show you the path. Maybe it will be helpful to you!" Wang Wei said.
"Which way?"
"The master pointed out that if you want to understand water, you must first find water. Only by finding the peerless water can you understand the peerless martial arts related to water."
