An hour later, the three of them returned to Taiyi Mountain.
Li Bai put down Sima Heng and Zhuge Leran at the foot of the mountain and said to them: "You guys go back to Chang'an City first. I'm going to the sutra-talking platform to practice hard."
Sima Heng said: "Let's go together too. This is Shangguan Feixiong's eyesight. When you practice meditation, you need a personal protector."
Zhuge Leran also said: "Yes, brother Li Bai, everything in Chang'an has been arranged anyway, so we have nothing to do when we go back. And at my speed, we can return to the city in the blink of an eye."
When Li Bai heard this, he thought it was reasonable, so he nodded and went to the sermon platform with the two of them.
Then Li Bai practiced alone on the sutra lecture platform, looking for Taoist connections in the place where Taishang Laojun once lectured, so as to suddenly understand the method of integrating the five elements and spiritual energy. Sima Heng and Zhuge Leran set up near the sutra lecture platform.
A temporary residence to protect Li Bai from enlightenment.
After everything was settled, Zhuge Leran returned to Chang'an City to report that everyone was safe and to learn about the recent situation in the city.
At lunch the next day, Li Bai, who was sitting cross-legged and having an epiphany, suddenly smelled a very tempting aroma of wine and food. He couldn't help but stand up and follow the scent. It turned out that the scent came from the temporary residence set up by Sima Heng and Zhuge Leran.
There was a message coming from inside, so he couldn't help but walked over.
When they arrived at their residence, they saw that Sima Heng and Zhuge Leran had set up a wooden table inside. There were sumptuous meals on the table, including steamed chicken with lotus leaves and millet seeds, fried sweet and sour bones, steamed river carp, and fried rice.
Fragrant beef, and braised fragrant pig's trotters. There is also an open jar of aged Jiannan Shaochun, filling the mountain with the aroma of wine.
Sima Heng and Zhuge Leran were holding chopsticks in their hands and looking at Li Bai with smiles while eating.
Li Bai realized that he was hungry all day and night. Now that he saw such a delicacy, he didn't care about etiquette. He sat down on it and devoured it with the two of them without saying hello.
After eating and drinking, Li Bai wiped his mouth with satisfaction and said: "This wine and food taste really good, and it has a familiar taste. I didn't expect you two to know how to cook!"
Sima Heng waved his hand and said: "Li Bai, don't get me wrong, this dish is not made by us."
"You didn't do it? Then who did it?"
"It was made by Chef Xu who came to the restaurant with you from Chang'an City. Leran just went there to ask Chef Xu to prepare the food and wine, and then brought it back quickly. However, we were afraid of affecting your enlightenment, so we didn't call you. We didn't expect you to be hungry.
I went to buy it when I was here, but I didn’t expect that the smell of wine had already attracted you!”
"Thank you for bringing me here, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to eat this delicious food." Li Bai chuckled, and then said: "But having said that, the taste of this wine and food is very similar to the one made by the little fairy. If you don't say it is a restaurant,
I really thought the little fairy came here when the chef cooked it." Speaking of Ziyan, Li Bai looked concerned.
When Zhuge Leran heard this, he waved his hands hurriedly and said: "No, isn't Sister Ziyan in Anlu? How could she come here to cook for you?"
Sima Heng also said: "Yes, Zi Yan is pregnant with Liujia, how can she cook for you?"
"I know, I'm just talking."
"Li Bai, you must have missed Zi Yan so much that you thought it was her who cooked all the food and drinks, right?" Sima Heng said with a smile.
Li Bai smiled a little embarrassedly: "I wonder how the little fairy is doing in Anlu? Speaking of which, I would like to go back to Anlu."
"No!" Sima Heng and Zhuge Leran shouted almost at the same time.
Li Bai was surprised for a while: "Why are you so opposed to my return to Anlu?"
"This..." Sima Heng paused and said: "This is because there are only a few days left to participate in the competition for the leader of the martial arts alliance. You can't be distracted!"
Zhuge Leran also said: "That's right, brother Li Bai, have you forgotten why we stayed in Taiyi Mountain? Have you figured out the way to integrate the five elements of nature and spiritual energy? You can't give up halfway!"
"Yes, and if you go back now, Zi Yan and the others will be worried!" Sima Heng added.
Li Bai thought about it. He finally persuaded Zi Yan not to come to Chang'an City last time. It would be really bad to go back rashly, so he said: "You are right, now is indeed not the time to go back. It is better to wait until he becomes the leader of the martial arts alliance."
It’s better to go back again!”
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Li Bai had given up the idea of returning to Anlu.
At this time, Li Bai suddenly said: "Leran, this wine and food are really good. If you go to buy it next time, remember to ask me to eat with you. I think my mind will become clearer after eating this wine and food. This wine and food will help me realize enlightenment!"
"If that's the case, brother Li Bai, I'll buy it back tomorrow."
"Buying again tomorrow? Isn't it bad to go back and forth like this?"
"It's okay. I can't go to the city in a blink of an eye. Besides, not only do you like to eat these wines and dishes, Sima Heng and I also like to eat them!"
Sima Heng also said: "Yes, buy it, buy it every day, even if Li Bai doesn't eat it, we will eat it!"
When Li Bai heard this, he smiled and said: "Well, there are only a few days left before the competition, so let's eat well!"
So in the next few days, Zhuge Leran went back to Chang'an City every day to buy all kinds of delicious wine and food, which made everyone satisfied.
The more Li Bai ate the food and wine, the more he felt like Zi Yan's craftsmanship. He thought to himself that he really missed his wife and children too much. This longing and reluctance were exactly the same as the reluctance of the Five Elements of Nature and the Nine Levels of True Qi. Sometimes he even
I thought, maybe it’s not that the five elements of nature are reluctant to part with the ninth level of true energy, but that I am reluctant to part with the ninth level of true energy!
As the days passed, Li Bai's thoughts continued to increase. Slowly, he began to truly feel the breath of Taishang Laojun when he was preaching, and the five elements of heaven and earth were becoming quieter day by day on the sermon stage, as if Taishang was
Shang Laojun came to preach the sutras in person and listened to them intoxicated.
On the ninth day, Li Bai became very popular in poetry and began to recite aloud:
(Nine-day mountain climbing)
When Yuan Ming came back, he did not want to be separated from the world. Because there was nothing in the cup, he happened to be a pastor in this state.
Because I attracted people in white clothes, laughed and drank yellow flowers and chrysanthemums. I was not happy when I came, and I missed the Double Ninth Festival.
Inscribed on the title of He Junfa, the southern part of the city was built. The earth was built on the Xiangshan Mountain, overlooking the Wan River and the Mekong River.
The barbarians play the jade flute, and the Yue girls play the frost silk.
The red carp rises high on the piano, and the white turtle talks to Feng Yi. Spirits and immortals are like gods, laying down their bows to know each other from afar.
There have been people who have climbed mountains since ancient times, and now there are only a few of them here. Cangzhou has broken its promise, but tomorrow is still waiting.
The mountains are like shocking waves, and they merge together out of the sea. They wave their armbands four times, and they are drunk and safe.
Singing together brings the clear air to the air, and the dances are chaotic and uneven. The guests scatter with the fallen leaves, and their hats are blown by the autumn wind.
After saying goodbye, I came to this stage to express my longing for you.
…………
After reciting the poem, Li Bai suddenly realized his thoughts and had a well-thought-out plan. The five elements of heaven were still in his body, his true energy was lingering, and his spiritual meaning occasionally appeared. He smiled slightly, and said to Sima Heng and Zhuge Leran: "Tomorrow is the grand meeting of the leaders of the Wulin Alliance.
Choose a date for the conference, let's go, become the leader of the martial arts alliance, and uphold justice in the martial arts world!" After that, he, Sima Heng, and Zhuge Leran drove the "Shuiyun" back to Chang'an City.
