"There is such a thing!" Wu Zhizhi also smiled bitterly. Looking down, he saw Guan Xin and others lowering their bows and arrows, waiting for them to fall.
In this way, a group of people were waiting, one in the sky, and the other in a stalemate on the ground.
At this time, the bright moon is in the sky, the valley is quiet, and hundreds of birds are returning to their nests. It is extremely peaceful.
As time passed little by little, Li Bai began to feel a little tired and his body began to shake. He knew that his internal strength was about to be exhausted and he could not hold on for long.
Guan Xin on the ground also noticed this situation and laughed loudly: "Everyone, please pay attention, Li Bai is starting to lose strength, hurry up and prepare your bows and arrows!"
"Yes!" All the men in black agreed in unison, drawing their bows and pointing them at Li Bai and the others.
When Wu Guide saw it, he said anxiously: "Li Bai, put me down quickly. With one less person, you can keep me from falling."
When Li Bai heard this, he scolded him: "Brother Wu, how can you say this? Do I, Li Bai, seem to be someone who abandons his friends? Don't worry, I will find a way."
Wu Guanzhi saw that Li Bai was angry and could not speak anymore. He held his sword in his hand and was ready to attack him at any time.
Li Bai said that there was a way, but he didn't know it in his heart. He opened his eyes and looked around, and all he saw were vast mountains and shadows of trees. Occasionally, a few bats flew by, leaving a string of black shadows.
Li Bai thought to himself that it would be great if he could have wings like a bird. Thinking of birds, Li Bai suddenly had an idea and had a weird idea.
He was calm and focused, with Qi gathering in his Dantian, and suddenly he shouted "Nuo...Nuo...Nuo..." towards the distant mountains and forests, and his voice echoed continuously in the mountains and forests.
It turned out that when Li Bai and his master were practicing Taoism in Dakuang Mountain, they accompanied birds every day and learned the ability to communicate with birds. At this time, he wanted to call out some big birds to take them away from this place.
Shaoqing, as Li Bai's cry rang out, there were actually birds in the forest responding, cooing, chirping, chirping, chirping... more and more, louder and louder, all kinds of birds were chirping.
Flying up, one after another, the silent mountain forest suddenly became lively.
Everyone was shocked to see that Li Bai had such ability.
However, the birds that flew out were not very big, and it was impossible for them to move three people. Li Bai also felt worried for a moment.
Just when he felt that there was nothing he could do, suddenly, a big bird flew up from the bottom of the mountain stream. It was very, very big. Its wings were spread out to be three feet long. It looked like an eagle. Under the bright moonlight, its whole body was covered with feathers.
It was fiery red in color, silent and silent, and kept flying towards Li Bai and the others.
"What kind of bird is this?" Wu Zhizhi asked in surprise.
Li Bai took a closer look, shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but it looks a bit like the legendary roc!"
"Dapeng? The Dapeng in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"?" Wu Guanzhi's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Yes, it's like the Dapeng bird in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"!"
Just as he was talking, the big bird flew in front of the three people, circled around them twice, then swooped down and flew below the three people, then pushed upwards, pushing the three people onto their backs, and then fluttered the oversized bird.
With their wings, the three of them flew towards the distant mountains and forests, and slowly disappeared.
Seeing this scene, Guan Xin and others were so shocked that they could not close their mouths.
The big bird flew the three of them over the Er'emei Mountain and the Big Emei Mountain, until they arrived at a wide expanse of water grass by the Pingqiang River and stopped.
Li Bai and Wu Guanzhi helped Sima Heng jump off the bird's back, and the big bird flapped its wings and flew high into the sky, circling continuously.
Li Bai and Wu Guanzhi made a bow in the direction of Big Bird to express their gratitude for the rescue. Li Bai murmured to himself: "Big Bird, good friend, I hope I can repay this kindness!" After that, he looked towards the sky.
He shouted "Noonono" several times.
After hearing this, the big bird flapped its wings a few times and flew away into the distance.
Wu Guanzhi was stunned by Li Bai's magical operation, and his eyes were full of admiration.
At this time, Sima Heng also completed his training and his internal strength was restored. He opened his eyes and saw the roaring water of the Pingqiang River. He didn't know what was going on and looked at Li Bai and Wu Guanzhi with doubts on his face.
Seeing this, Wu Guanzhi briefly told him what happened after his training. Sima Heng was also shocked and stunned.
At this time, Wu Guanzhi said: "Now Guan Xin is definitely looking for us all over the mountains and plains, so it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Li Bai, Sima Heng, do you have any good suggestions?"
Li Bai thought for a while and said: "Before I came to Mount Emei, I had already planned the itinerary, but Guan Xin came out and disrupted the plan. But now that we have got rid of him, we can continue to follow this itinerary."
Walk."
"What's the specific itinerary?" Wu Guide asked.
"Take a boat from Pingqiang River to Qingxiyi, then set off from Qingxiyi into Minjiang River, then sail to the Three Gorges, then arrive at Yuzhou, then from Yuzhou via Dongting, Cangwu, and arrive at Jinling. At that time, I was almost a martial arts graduate
On the date of the competition, we will take the martial arts exam in Jinling, then go to Guangling, and then go southeast to visit Suzhou, Hangzhou, Yuezhou, and Taizhou. We will make plans for the rest of the trip according to the situation."
Sima Heng nodded and said: "Okay, I will travel with you this time, so you can go wherever you want."
Guide Wu also agreed.
So the three of them found a boatman overnight, took the boat out of the Pingqiang River, and headed towards the Three Gorges.
Half a month later, the boat left the Three Gorges and sailed to Jiangling. Li Bai suggested going ashore for fun. Wu Guanzhi and Sima Heng agreed, so the three of them stopped the boat and went ashore.
Jiangling is named because it is located near the river and there are no high mountains in the nearby state. Everything is Lingfu. With a large registered population, it is the hinterland of Jianghan and a prosperous place in the past dynasties.
As soon as they landed, the three of them heard the news that Sima Chengzhen, the twelfth generation master of the Shangqing sect of Taoism, was giving a sermon in Longshan.
Sima Chengzhen, whose Buddhist name is Daoyin, is known as Mr. Baiyun. He studied under Pan Shizheng, a Taoist priest from Songshan Mountain. He was able to learn the Shangqing Sutra and Taoist techniques such as talismans, guidance, and bait. He was a famous Taoist master.
Li Bai was extremely excited when he heard the news. He had read Sima Chengzhen's "Protection of Life Sutra" when he was practicing Taoism in Dakuang Mountain, and he admired him very much. Now that they met in Jiangling, there was no reason not to pay him a visit.
So after discussing with Wu Guanzhi and Sima Hengyi, they decided to go to Longshan to pay a visit to Sima Chengzhen.
After arriving at Longshan, Li Bai and the others were warmly entertained by Sima Chengzhen. Li Bai quickly submitted his poems for his review.
Sima Chengzhen read the poems and was amazed. He said: "Your poems are elegant, transcendent and refined, and you have the spirit of immortality. You can travel with the poor Taoist to the eight extremes!"
When Li Bai heard this, he was secretly happy and said: "Thanks to Grandmaster Daoyin's promotion, Li Bai is very satisfied. If you don't give up, you will definitely follow."
Sima Chengzhen laughed and said: "Taoist people are destined to meet each other regardless of their seniority or fame. Li Bai, if you can realize that Taishang Laojun's real Lingyun Tao, you are a destined person. But if you want to travel to Ba
Extremely beautiful, your Lingyun Step must be fully cultivated!"
"Only when you have fully cultivated it?" Li Bai smiled bitterly and said, "Master Daoyin, Lingyun Step is a heavenly skill. It is not easy to fully cultivate it. I hope the master can enlighten me."
Sima Chengzhen waved his whisk and said: "You can also enlighten me. Li Bai, you, Ling Yun Ta, started from poems and songs. How about you compose a poem and song on the spot? How about I try to tell you?"
With the Taoist master's advice, Li Bai of course agreed, thought for a while, and slowly chanted:
(Dapeng encounters a rare bird)
An old immortal from Nanhua discovered heavenly secrets in Qiyuan. He spouted lofty theories and spoke mighty wonders. He conquered the strangest things in Qixie and talked about the fish in Beiming. I don’t know how many thousands of miles away it is. His name is Kun. Huacheng Dapeng, its essence is condensed and its embryo is thick. It takes off its mane on the island and spreads its feathers on the Tianmen. It brushes the spring flow of Bo Bo, and the fusang blooms in the morning. It shines in the universe, and its mausoleum reaches Kunlun. With a drum and a dance, the smoke is hazy in the sand. Faint. The five mountains were shaken by it, and all the rivers collapsed.
…
Occasionally, a bird sees it and says, "What a majestic peng. This is the joy of it. My right wing covers the western pole, and my left wing covers the eastern wasteland. I cross the ground and circle the sky. I use trance as my nest and nothingness as my field." I call you to swim, and you fly with me. So the Dapeng promised it and happily followed it.)
Li Bai's poem "The Dapeng Encounters a Rare Bird" is nearly 800 words long. He used the Dapeng as a metaphor for himself and the rare bird as a metaphor for Sima Chengzhen. He revealed his lofty ambitions and blurted them out in an orderly manner, which shocked everyone.
Sima Chengzhen admired it endlessly and said with a smile: "Li Bai, your poetic and literary talent is beyond the realm of Taoism. There is no need to argue and explain. I can only discuss the truth. The reason why sentient beings cannot be liberated from the sea of suffering in reincarnation is that they cannot recognize existence and non-existence." The truth of the world is that there is nothing hidden within something, and there is something within nothing. The same is true for martial arts and heavenly skills. I hope you can understand this truth and realize the truth as soon as possible."
Then, Sima Chengzhen gave each of the three people a training futon and said: "This is a Taoist magic weapon. If you practice on it, you will get twice the result with half the effort!"
As soon as the three of them heard that they had found a treasure, they found a quiet place in Longshan and practiced with concentration. After one month, Li Bai's internal strength reached the fifth level, Sima Heng's internal strength reached the fourth level, and Wu Yuanzhen's internal strength reached the sixth level. territory.
