Is it necessary that Guide Wu should not be able to rest in peace even after his death?
Thinking of this, Li Bai couldn't help but feel sad and sobbed while holding Wu Guide.
Sima Heng punched the ground and said angrily: "Brother Wu, Sima Heng is incompetent. He doesn't even have the money to bury you. It's my fault that you can't rest in peace!" After saying this, he also started to cry.
The two people's cries attracted the attention of some passers-by. The passers-by were very moved when they saw the two men holding the bodies in such sadness, so some people came forward to comfort them, and some generously donated money. After half an hour, the two people actually collected enough money.
Burial expenses.
The two of them kept writing to the kindhearted people to express their gratitude for their help. They thought that the people of Dongting were really kind-hearted and pure, and if they succeeded in their ambition, they would definitely not forget to repay them.
Afterwards, the two bought burial items, chose a feng shui site by Dongting Lake, and buried Wu Guide well.
At the same time, Li Bai made a vow that he would come back one day and take Wu Guanzhi back to his hometown for burial so that his soul could return to his hometown.
After doing everything well, Sima Heng asked: "Li Bai, where are we going now?"
Li Bai thought for a moment and said: "It's November now, and it's just around the corner when the martial arts contest begins. Let's go take the martial arts exam!"
"A test of martial arts?"
"Yes, the martial arts exam! If we can pass the exam, we will be ranked in Tangming Pavilion. If we get ranked, we will have the opportunity to become the leader of the martial arts league! If we become the leader of the martial arts league, we can command the heroes and quell the turmoil and injustice in the martial arts world!"
"Okay, then let's take the martial arts exam! But where should we take the exam?"
"This is Yueyang County. Yueyang County Tangming Pavilion is only a county-level Tangming Pavilion. It cannot elect military officers." Li Bai thought for a while and continued: "The nearest state-level Tangming Pavilion from here is Jinling Tangming Pavilion. Let's go to Jinling Tangming Pavilion!"
"Okay, let's go to Jinling!"
Having made up their minds, the two of them did not delay, bowed three times to Wu Zhizhi's tombstone, and immediately set off, heading straight for Jinling.
In the thirteenth year of Kaiyuan, Xuanzong set out from Dongdu to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen. Hundreds of officials accompanied him. Every time there was a stop on the way, people and animals would be everywhere within tens of miles, and supplies would be endless for hundreds of miles. When they arrived at Mount Tai, Xuanzong, the prime minister and the ancestral officials
God Haotian is worshiped on the mountain, the ministers worship the Five Emperors and Hundreds of Gods at the foot of the mountain, and the Yi Guards surround the mountain for more than a hundred miles, with great momentum, all demonstrating the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
Later, Xuanzong granted a general amnesty to the world.
It coincided with the martial arts competition held in the Ming Pavilion of Tang Dynasty. Xuanzong issued an order: Anyone who submitted a martial arts competition would be exempted from the registration fee, and the reward for those who won the examination would be doubled.
As soon as this order was issued, the number of people reported to Tang Ming Pavilion to compete in martial arts increased sharply, and the number of martial arts masters also increased sharply.
Six days later, Li and Bai arrived at Jinling City.
Jinling, the imperial capital of the Six Dynasties, was the first city with a population of one million. It was richly decorated and extremely prosperous.
Fortunately, the martial arts competition was about to begin, and a large number of martial arts scholars poured in. For a time, the whole city of Jinling was filled with martial arts, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly lively.
The purpose of Li Bai's trip was clear, so as soon as they arrived in Jinling, they immediately looked for Tangming Pavilion.
At this time, the biggest event in Jinling was the martial arts competition, so there were signs of Tangming Pavilion all over the city. The two looked for it according to the signs, and soon found Jinling Tangming Pavilion.
Compared with the county-level Tangming Pavilion, Jinling Tangming Pavilion is much more luxurious. Its area alone is more than ten times that of the county-level Tangming Pavilion. It has a six-lane structure, numerous houses and pavilions, and a very large martial arts training ground. Hundreds of huge tables have been set up.
The competition arena is very spectacular.
There are still five days left before this martial arts competition, and the registration office is crowded with martial arts scholars who have come to register.
Jinling Tangming Pavilion has set up more than 30 registration points and arranged more than 100 bookkeepers to be responsible for registration, so even if there are many people who sign up, it is in order and very fast.
Li and Bai signed up in less than half an hour, and each received a participation order and a rules order.
The rule order states: This Tang Ming Pavilion martial arts competition is divided into two categories. The first category is to win against ten opponents in a row, and the second category is to be undefeated with one enemy against ten. Time is an incense stick. The competition will be decided by the judge of Tang Ming Pavilion.
The detective is the deputy judge. There are no restrictions on moves or weapons during the competition. The winner will be ranked in Tangming Pavilion.
There are also some notes on the order: Judges of Tangming Pavilion are those who have been ranked among the top 300 of Tangming Pavilion over the years; Detectives of Tangming Pavilion are those who have been ranked among the top 301 to 600 of Tangming Pavilion over the years.
Li Bai and Sima Heng applied for the second category this time. Their goal is not only to be a martial arts scholar, but also to become famous in one battle and make a name for themselves in the world for the future.
Now that they had registered their names and there were still five days before the competition day, the two began to travel around Jinling, and within three days they visited most of the scenic spots and historical sites in Jinling City.
On the fourth day, the nameless anger in Sima Heng's body surged again, and he had to stay in the inn to practice to suppress it.
In order not to disturb his Qing Dynasty, Li Bai traveled alone in Jinling City.
After swimming in the evening, Li Bai still wanted to see the full moon, so he decided to go to the west tower of the city to admire the moon.
Climbing the west tower of the city, the bright moon is in the sky.
Li Bai looked at this ancient land of Wu and Yue and was very moved.
The cool breeze blew gently. He lowered his head and saw the shadows of white clouds in the water surging with the microwaves, as if gently swaying the tower. Looking up, he saw the crystal clear dewdrops hanging on the eaves of the building, as if they were dripping from the moon.
Facing the bright moon again, Li Bai's heart was full of sadness. He had been away from the mountain for a long time, but he had no achievements and few close friends. He had empty ambitions, but no one understood him. In this situation, he became very poetic and recited to the bright moon in a low voice:
(The west tower of Jinling City chants under the moon)
Jinling is quiet at night and cool breeze blows,
Climbing up a tall building alone to look at Wu and Yue.
White clouds reflect the water and shake the empty city,
White dew drips from the autumn moon.
I ponder under the moon for a long time and never return,
Since ancient times, the sight of each other has been sparse.
The way to understand Chengjiang is as pure as practicing,
It makes people remember Xie Xuanhui for a long time.
After reciting the poem, Li Bai was still sad and closed his eyes without saying a word.
Suddenly, Li Bai felt a warmth coming from the Yongquan point on the soles of his feet. An inexplicable warm current rose from bottom to top, covering his ankles, calves, knees, thighs and up to his pubic area. Could it be that my Lingyun Step was about to break through? Li Bai couldn't help but be overjoyed.
But the warm current stopped when it reached Dantian, and then disappeared without a trace. What was going on? Li Bai was very disappointed.
Just as Li Bai was thinking hard, a sweet voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"What a poem. I never thought you could compose poetry!"
When Li Bai heard this, he couldn't help but turn around and look, and suddenly felt joyful, "Purple Smoke Fairy, ah no, Zi Yan Girl, it's you!"
It turned out that the person speaking was Zi Yan, the beautiful woman who came to the rescue before.
Seeing the purple smoke at this time, black hair like silk, bright eyes, graceful and graceful, and an intoxicating smile, Li Bai's soul fell to nine heavens again.
Zi Yan saw that Li Bai was smiling and his eyes were dazed, so he said, "Hey Li Bai, you don't need to be so intoxicated to praise me, right?"
Li Bai blurted out, "What intoxicates me is not your admiration, but your beauty!"
Upon hearing this, Zi Yan's face couldn't help but flush, "Li Bai, if you keep talking nonsense, do you believe I will let you taste Baihuafen?"
