Farewell to the people of Husi Mountain, Li Bai headed south all the way. He was going to Xinping County in Nanzhao. The people of Husi Mountain said that there was an Ailao Mountain there. There was a kind of volcanic rock on the mountain, which could just polish the sword left by Li Gua in Longyuan.
The hexagram seal on it.
Li hexagram is the name of the hexagram "Li" at the top and "Li at the bottom". It is the 30th hexagram of the sixty-four hexagrams in the "Book of Changes". Li is fire, and the hexagram image is fire. This hexagram is overlapping the same hexagram, and the host and guest are like two pairs of burning
Fire illuminates each other, competes with each other, and determines the superiority. The position of Li Gua belongs to the south, and Ailao Mountain belongs to the south and is located in a volcanic arc environment, so its unique volcanic rocks can compete with the fire of Li Gua.
It was noon when Li Bai arrived at Ailao Mountain, the sun was in the sky and it was hot.
Ailao Mountain, located in the middle of Nanzhao, is the southward extension of Yunling Mountains. It is the dividing line between the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and the Hengduan Mountains, and the watershed between the Yuanjiang River and the Amo River. The highest peak of Ailao Mountain is Damoyan Peak.
Li Bai wandered around Damoyan Peak for an hour, looking for volcanic rocks everywhere. The Husi Mountain people said that the volcanic rocks are black and red and will not leave any trace when scratched by any sharp object. So Li Bai took the Longyuan Sword in his hand and looked for every piece of rock he saw.
I scratched all the black and red stones, but after an hour, I didn't find a single volcanic rock.
For five consecutive days, Li Bai searched Ailao Mountain but found nothing.
On the sixth day, Li Bai returned to Damoyan Peak and planned to search again from the beginning. As soon as he reached the peak, someone suddenly heard someone's voice on the peak. Li Bai listened carefully and found that someone was reciting a poem. He only heard the man chanting:
--"Under Cibeigu Mountain" (Wangwan)
Traveling outside the green mountains, sailing in front of the green water.
The tide is flat, the banks are wide, the wind is blowing and the sail is hanging.
Hai Ri is born and the night is gone, and Jiang Chun is entering the old year.
Where can I get my hometown letter? Back to Yanluoyang.
…………
When Li Bai heard this, he admired it very much and couldn't help shouting: "What a poem! What a poem!" After that, he followed the direction of the voice and walked over.
I saw a middle-aged scholar in his forties standing on a rock on the top of the peak. He was wearing a long robe, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a heroic look on his face.
Li Bai stepped forward, raised his hands and said: "I am Li Bai, the poet of the Tang Dynasty. I just happened to pass by and heard a good poem recited by my brother. I couldn't help but admire it. I hope you can forgive me. I don't know what I call you?"
This man heard Li Bai's words and saw Li Bai coming. He was very surprised. He raised his hands and returned the greeting: "I am Wang Wan. Are you Li Bai, the former leader of the Wulin League and now the leader of the Poet League?"
Li Bai didn't expect that the other party knew him, and was a little surprised, and said: "Yes, I am Li Bai. Wang Wan, do you know me?"
Wang Wan smiled and said: "You are the former leader of the Martial Arts Alliance and the leader of the Poet Alliance, how can you not recognize me?"
"That's funny." Li Bai cupped his hands and continued to ask, "Are you coming to Ailao Mountain to recite poetry alone?"
Wang Wan waved his hand: "Of course not. In recent days, someone has discovered that a monster has come to Ailao Mountain. He can fly around in the sky and is still searching in the mountain. I don't know what his plan is? So I came to take a look. By the way,
After slaying the demons, I just climbed to Damo Rock Peak and saw the magnificent scenery, so I couldn't help but recite a poem."
When Li Bai heard this, he was a little dumbfounded. If he was flying around in the sky and still not searching, wasn't he talking about himself? So he said awkwardly: "Wang Wan, the monster you just mentioned should be me."
"you?"
"Yes, I have been searching east and west of Ailao Mountain these past few days, and I often fly in the air."
"It's really you?" Wang Wan was a little doubtful: "You can fly?"
Li Bai nodded, without saying much, directly lifted Ling Yunfei up into the air and then landed back in front of Wang Wan.
Wang Wan was stunned with shock. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and said: "This time it is really an eye-opener for me. It turns out that the rumors in the world that Li Bai can fly into the sky are true! By the way, what are you looking for?"
"Volcanic rocks." Li Bai didn't hide it.
"Volcanic rocks? Are you looking for volcanic rocks too?" Wang Wan asked in surprise.
Li Bai was stunned: "So, you are also looking for it?"
"That's right, and I've been looking here for five years," Wang Wan said.
"Five years! Did you find it?"
Wang Wan waved his hand and said: "No, I have seen every rock here, but there are no volcanic rocks!"
Li Bai was very disappointed when he heard this.
At this time Wang Wan asked again: "Li Bai, why are you looking for volcanic rocks?"
"Used to sharpen swords."
"So you also want to sharpen your sword. Okay, it's a rare chance. Come on, I'll take you to see the volcanic rocks."
Li Bai was startled: "Didn't you say you didn't find it? Why are you taking me to see it again now?"
"I didn't find it, but someone found it. I'll take you to him to see it!"
"Has anyone found it? Who is it?"
Wang Wan pointed to Xinping County at the foot of the mountain and said: "The Xinping boy from Xinping County."
"Xinping boy? He has volcanic rocks?"
"Yes, he is the only one in Xinping County who got a piece of volcanic rock, but he has a weird temper and likes to chop off people's hands and feet. He hung the volcanic rock on the top of the Xinping Tower in Xinping County for anyone who wants to borrow it to grind their spirits.
Weapons must be sharpened with hands and feet. Use one hand to sharpen them once, and one foot to sharpen them twice."
When Li Bai heard this, he frowned and said, "There is such a cruel weirdo? Why does he need human hands and feet?"
"He doesn't do anything, he just wants to find someone to keep him company, because he only has one hand, so he wants others to have limbs too!"
"Bah!" Li Bai couldn't help but cursed, and continued to ask: "No one should exchange it, right?"
Wang Wan shook his head and said, "Why not? People go there almost every day, because all the weapons that have been polished by his volcanic rock have become magic weapons. Many people can't resist the temptation."
Li Bai laughed bitterly when he heard this: "For a magic weapon, you can even give up your hands and feet. I really don't know what these people think! By the way, Wangwan, since you said that his volcanic rocks are hung on the top of the Xinping Tower.
, is there no one to snatch it away?"
"Robbing? This piece of volcanic rock has been cast by a boy from Xinping. No one else can take it off, let alone take it away. Okay, don't say so much, I'll take you to see it and you'll know." After that, Wang
Wan turned around and walked down the mountain. When Li Bai saw him, he hurriedly followed.
Wang Wan went down the mountain very fast, and he could tell at a glance that he was a person who had cultivated spiritual energy. In less than two quarters of an hour, the two of them had arrived in front of Xinping Tower in Xinping County.
Xinpinglou is a five-story pagoda with carved railings and painted buildings, which is very elegant and elegant.
Wang Wan said to Li Bai: "The volcanic rocks are hanging on the spire at the top of the tower. Let's go up and have a look." After that, he led Li Bai into Xinping Building and climbed up the stairs step by step until he reached the fifth floor.
From the top, you can see the majestic Ailao Mountain as well as the scenery of Xinping County. The sunset gradually sets in the distance, the water and sky are the same color, and occasionally a few wild geese fly by, creating a majestic and desolate scene.
At this time, Wang Wan pointed to the spire of the tower and said: "Li Bai, look, that is volcanic rock."
Li Bai looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough he saw a round black-red stone on the top of the tower. The stone was not very big, about the length of a person's arm. Li Bai said: "Is this a volcanic rock? What about the Xinping boy?"
