Li Bai didn't dare to make a mistake, so he changed the subject and said, "By the way, why is Miss Ziyan here?"
"I happened to be passing by and accidentally saw you sneaking up to the west building of the city alone. I got curious and followed you to have a look."
"How can I be sneaky! I just went to the west tower of the city to admire the moon and recite poems."
"Looking at the moon and reciting poems? Isn't there a martial arts competition tomorrow? Don't you need to prepare a lot?"
"There's no need to prepare for a small martial arts competition!" Li Bai said with great confidence, "Oh, that's not right. How did you know that I was going to participate in the martial arts competition?"
"I saw you and Sima Heng when I went to Tangming Pavilion to register that day, but I didn't say hello because I didn't know you very well."
"What? You also signed up for the martial arts competition?"
"No way?"
"It's not impossible, I just didn't expect it. It turns out you are also a Wu scholar!"
"As you said, I'm just a young martial arts scholar. Do you need to tell people everywhere?"
"That's true."
"By the way, Li Bai, I think you are very good at writing poems. I have a heartfelt request."
"Miss Ziyan, please tell me, as long as Li Bai can do it, there will be no excuses."
"I want you to write a poem for me."
"Writing a poem? It's too easy! Don't say just one poem, a hundred will be fine. I wonder what poems Miss Ziyan needs?"
"When I tell you a story first, you will know what poem I want."
After saying that, Zi Yan walked to the railing of the building, looked at the moon from afar, and said slowly:
"I know a business woman. She and her husband have known each other for a short time. At that time, her hair had just covered her forehead, so she and her husband played a game of folding flowers in front of the door. The two lived together in Changganli, Jinling.
They grew up together as childhood sweethearts. When she was fourteen, she married her husband as his wife. She rarely showed a smile because of her shyness, and sometimes she did not dare to look back even after her husband called her over and over again. It was not until she was fifteen that she got used to it and was content to be with her husband."
Speaking of this, Zi Yan paused, with a smile on his lips, and then said:
"I thought we could stay together for the rest of our lives, but unexpectedly when she was sixteen years old, she contracted a serious illness, and her husband had to leave home and go to Yanlidui in Qutang Gorge to look for a miracle doctor. But she didn't expect that there would be no news from her. In the next three years, she
Looking at the footsteps in front of the door where my husband wandered when he left home, they are already covered with green moss and leaves.
As the moon fell and the butterflies fluttered, I couldn't help but worry about my aging face, and I was afraid that my husband would not be able to recognize me when he came back. So I often sent a message to the moon in deserted nights: Whenever my husband wants to get off San Bus and go home, please bring home a letter first. Even if
The road is far away, but she will also go to Changfengsha to greet him."
Speaking of this, Zi Yan had a sad look on his face and couldn't continue. After calming down for a while, he continued:
"In the fourth year, the miracle doctor came uninvited, cured her stubborn illness, and taught her his peerless medical skills. After the miracle doctor left, she remembered her husband eagerly, so she went out to look for him, but she couldn't find him after twenty years. Later,
She expressed her love for medical skills and singing, and got
An unexpected encounter led to extraordinary achievements. After that, he became a disciple of Qingxiu, and originally planned to live in seclusion for the rest of his life. However, three years ago, he suddenly found a clue about his husband, and immediately searched for the clue. However, he was plotted by a thief on the way, and he was poisoned by an unknown poison.
He’s been in coma ever since.”
Zi Yan did not say any more, but looked sadly at the bright moon. The moonlight shone on her face, reflecting a trace of tears.
When Li Bai saw this, his heart ached inexplicably and said: "I didn't expect that Mrs. Xihe would have such an experience. It is really sad to hear this!"
When Zi Yan heard this, she was shocked. She turned around and asked, "How did you know I was talking about Mrs. Xihe?"
Li Bai said: "Miss Ziyan showed her true feelings when she mentioned Shang's wife. I know that you two have a close relationship. Shang's wife knows both medicine and poetry, which just corresponds to your Baihuafen and Linglong Pagoda. Since you studied under Xia Yi,
Mrs. Xihe, then this business woman..." Li Bai did not continue.
"Okay, okay, you're a little clever and I guessed it right! Then do you still want to listen?"
Li Bai smiled proudly and said, "Of course, Miss Ziyan, please continue."
Zi Yan rolled her eyes at him and continued: "Before my master fell into coma, she still missed her husband very much, so I would like to ask you to compose a poem about the love between master and her husband. I can recite it to her often, maybe it can wake her up."
master."
"So that's it. Ziyan Fairy, ah no, Ziyan Girl, don't worry, the writing of poems is all on me." After that, Li Bai pondered for a moment and opened his mouth to chant:
(Changganxing? Part 1)
When my concubine's hair first covered her forehead, there was a drama in front of the door.
The man came riding a bamboo horse and went around the bed to make green plums.
Living together in Changqianli, the childhood sweethearts guessed,
Fourteen is a gentleman's wife, and her face has not yet revealed its shame.
He lowered his head towards the dark wall and called out a thousand times.
I raise my eyebrows at the age of fifteen, wishing to be like dust and ashes.
If you always keep a letter holding a pillar, how can you go to the platform to watch your husband?
The Sixteenth Lord went on a long journey to Qutang and Yanlidui.
The month of May is untouchable, the apes cry out in mourning from the sky.
There are no traces of late arrival in front of the door, covered with green moss.
The moss is too deep to be swept away, and the leaves fall early in the autumn wind.
In August, butterflies come and fly over the grass in the West Garden.
Feeling this hurts my heart, I sit there and worry about my beauty getting old.
Get off the bus in the morning and evening and send the book home in advance.
It's not far to meet each other, even to the wind and sand.
As soon as he finished reciting, Zi Yan clapped his hands and praised: "Okay, Li Bai, you may be a bit of a rogue sometimes, but you are a really good poet!"
When Li Bai heard this, he thought, are you praising me or disparaging me?
He said: "Thank you Miss Ziyan for the compliment. I hope this poem can be of help. I also wish Senior Xihe a speedy recovery."
"Thank you for your kind words. Li Bai, it's getting late. I have to say goodbye. See you at Tangming Pavilion tomorrow."
When Li Bai heard that Zi Yan was leaving, he was very reluctant to leave, but he had no choice but to think that he could not leave her to enjoy the moonlight in the west tower of the city for one night, so he said: "Miss Zi Yan, I will take you back to the inn!"
Zi Yan smiled and said, "No, I'll see you tomorrow." After that, she drifted downstairs, leaving a wisp of fragrance in the air.
Although Li Bai looked a little disappointed when he saw her leaving, he thought of her smile before she left, and felt happy again. The warmth that had just disappeared from Dantian surged up again, from Dantian to Dantian.
Chest, shoulders, arms, wrists, and finally disappear into the fingertips.
Li Bai got lucky and found that his inner strength and Lingyun Step had not improved. He couldn't help but feel disappointed. He suddenly lost interest in admiring the moon, so he went downstairs and returned to the inn.
Back at the inn, Sima Heng had finished practicing, but he had not gained much.
Li Bai told Zi Yan about meeting Zi Yan again. Sima Heng was surprised when he heard that Zi Yan was going to compete in martial arts. But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Zi Yan's Linglong Pagoda would not be difficult to pass the martial arts exam, so he was relieved.
The next day, the two arrived at Tangming Pavilion in Jinling on time.
Li Bai looked around, hoping to see Zi Yan, but there were so many people coming to participate in the competition that it was not easy to find someone.
As soon as the hour arrived, bursts of "dong dong dong..." drums rang out from the martial arts training ground, which was so powerful and deafening!
Then a group of young people wearing colorful clothes, red scarves on their heads, and holding eighteen weapons jumped onto the big stage in the center and started performing on the stage.
The young people's performance was brilliant and won bursts of applause from the audience.
