Zi Yan wanted to take the opportunity to go ashore to look for some exotic flowers to prepare Baihua powder, so the three of them discussed and decided to stay for a day and visit Yuzhou.
Yuzhou, located in southwest China, on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, was an important state in the past dynasties and was very prosperous.
Ziyan and the other three quickly found some strange flowers, and then traveled to Yuzhou County together.
During the trip, Li Bai learned that the governor of Yuzhou was Li Yong, whom he had admired for a long time, and decided to go and see him.
Li Yong was the son of Li Shan, a minister, calligrapher and scholar of literary anthology at the time. He was erudite and talented, and a master of running script and inscriptions. His calligraphy style was graceful and magnificent. Li Bai once had the honor to read his "Lushan Temple Stele" and "Li Sixun Stele" and wrote about them.
I am in awe of his running script.
The three of them went to the Governor's Mansion and asked the guards to make a report.
Li Yong has always been a good man. He was very happy to hear that the three newly emerged martial arts masters came to visit him, and immediately invited the three of them to meet him at his house.
The three of them entered the hall and saw a very powerful old man with white hair and fair face waiting in front of the hall.
This person is Li Yong, the governor of Yuzhou.
The three people quickly stepped forward and saluted.
Li Bai said: "Li Bai has always admired the governor's calligraphy, and today I came here to visit him."
Li Yong was filled with joy after hearing this, "Haha, this young man understands etiquette and is well-educated. He is worthy of being the talent of our people in the Tang Dynasty."
"Your Majesty, the governor has given me a great reward."
"I heard that you are all people with heavenly skills, especially Li Bai, who has realized the Taishang Laojun's Lingyun Tao. You are really young and promising!"
"You are young and promising, but you don't want to take it. It's just that you have the fate and learned Laojun's heavenly skills."
"It's so easy to say that you have a good connection!"
"The Governor is laughing at me, I learned this skill from poetry, and my favorite thing in life is writing poetry, so I got this talent easily because of the fate of Taoism."
"Haha, I wonder if your natural skills are stronger or weaker than mine, a calligrapher who practices hard day and night?"
"It is difficult to compare heavenly skills. The comparison can only be made between those who have learned the heavenly skills. Li Bai found that Lingyun Tao is only on the third level and can only be said to have a superficial understanding, so it is difficult to compare with the adults who have practiced calligraphy to the fullest.
Compare."
"Young man is very good at talking. Apart from Ling Yunta, do you have any other extraordinary skills?"
"I dare not say that he has extraordinary skills, but Li Bai has learned the art of vertical and horizontal and the art of emperors from his master for three years."
"Oh, you have also learned the art of vertical and horizontal and the art of the emperor. It is not simple. What are the art of vertical and horizontal and the art of the emperor? Can you tell me?"
"The so-called vertical and horizontal art means to combine vertical and horizontal. The first is to judge the time and judge the world, in line with yin and yang; the second is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages; the third is to draw on strong points to compensate for weaknesses; the fourth is the art of thinking. The emperor's art is strategy, knowing people,
The comprehensive skills of employing people, vertical and horizontal, leadership, management, etc. There is an emperor in the world, and the laws of the world are kings. Use vertical and horizontal techniques to make the emperor trust you, use vertical and horizontal techniques to establish laws, and then deal with them according to their importance, urgency, and size.
"
"Well, that's true. What are your ambitions?"
"Define Wulin and stabilize the country! I will apply for Yan's advice, plan for the emperor, and use his wisdom. I am willing to assist Bi, so that the whole region will be settled, and Hai County will be unified!"
"Hahaha, young man, are your ambitions set too high?"
"My lord, the governor, has high aspirations, and Li Bai is confident that he will realize them."
"Li Bai, I see that you understand heavenly skills, are intelligent, and have a malleable talent, so I will give you a word. Young people should know themselves and not speak nonsense."
When Li Bai heard this, he was a little dissatisfied. He thought what's wrong with young people, can't they have big ambitions? Then he said: "Everyone comes from a young age, and their ambitions are not due to their age."
Li Yong was unhappy when he heard what Li Bai said. "Young people really don't know how high the sky is. Li Bai, you just said that your favorite thing in life is writing poetry. Can you write a poem on the spot to let me understand what it means to have ambition but not to be too young!"
"
Li Bai heard that Li Yong wanted to test his ability, and he thought, let you see the young man's grace, so he said: "Okay, isn't it just writing poetry? Why is it so difficult? Li Bai is showing off his shame!"
After that, he thought for a moment, then opened his mouth and started chanting:
(Upon Li Yong)
The roc rises with the wind one day,
Soaring up to 90,000 miles.
Let the wind calm down and come down,
It can still winnow away the Cangming water.
People in the world see that I have a special temperament,
Everyone sneered after hearing what I said.
Xuanfu is still afraid of future generations,
The husband must not be young.
As soon as this poem came out, everyone in the audience was shocked. Wasn't it a clear mockery of Li Yong's contempt for young people?
How could Li Yong fail to hear what the poem was referring to? His face slowly darkened. "Okay, good poem. You use poetry to describe people and kill people without using a knife. You are indeed a talented person in poetry."
Li Bai was also young and energetic, and said: "The Governor's words are serious. Li Bai is indeed too conceited and disrespectful! So I'd better say goodbye and go back to face the wall and think about my mistakes."
After that, he gave Sima Heng and Zi Yan a wink, and they immediately understood and said goodbye to Li Yong.
The three of them turned around and wanted to leave.
When Li Yong saw him, he dodged and blocked the way of the three of them. "You three, please stay. I have learned the young man's poetry. He is indeed a promising young man. But I have not yet seen the young man's peerless skills. How can I say that?"
Just leave?"
When the three of them heard this, they knew that it would not be easy to leave this time.
Li Bai said: "Does the governor want to compete with us?"
"Exactly." Li Yong smiled and continued: "I am a person who loves martial arts. It is rare to encounter a peerless talent, especially Ling Yunta. How can I not open my eyes?"
"What if I don't obey?" Li Bai changed his tone.
"Haha, in the governor's mansion, how can we not obey?"
This time I really encountered an unreasonable person.
"Well, I, Li Bai, really don't obey!" After saying that, Li Bai also stepped aside and wanted to go around Li Yong and leave.
"You can leave if you want, but it depends on whether you can dodge the silver hook of my stylus." As soon as he finished speaking, a stylus appeared in Li Yong's hand.
"This is one point." Li Yong said, pointing at Li Bai with his stylus.
Seeing that his attack was not weak, Li Bai quickly stepped back. With a hiss, the tip of the pen scratched Li Bai's clothes.
Li Bai was shocked, and quickly drew out the Long Yuan sword and formed a formation.
When Sima Heng saw Zi Yan, he also quickly exercised his power and prepared to step forward to help.
"Don't move yet." Li Bai said to Sima Heng and Zi Yan: "Let me get to know him first, lest he say that we young people bully the small ones!"
After saying that, Li Bai swung his sword and stabbed Li Yong.
Li Yong laughed and said, "Haha, good point. Be careful, it's a horizontal line."
After saying that, he pointed the stylus toward Long Yuan's sword.
There was a "dang" sound, and Li Bai felt his hands go numb for a while, and he almost let go of Long Yuan's sword.
What a profound skill!
"This is a vertical pen!" Before Li Bai could react, the stylus pen in Li Yong's hand came straight up.
How could Li Bai dare to be careless? He used his ninth level of internal strength and raised his sword to block.
There was another "dang" sound, and the Long Yuan sword in Li Bai's hand was knocked to the ground.
"Li Bai, be careful!" Zi Yan on the side saw this and screamed.
Before she finished speaking, Li Yong's stylus came over again, "This is a stroke!"
Li Baijian had already lost his hand and could no longer block it. He had no choice but to use his luck to step on Lingyun and rush into the sky to avoid this blow.
"Haha, it turned out to be Lingyunta, rising out of thin air! I, Li Yong, have seen it all!" Li Yong exclaimed.
"Now that the Governor has seen you, we should be able to leave, right?" Li Bai said with a look of resentment on his face.
When Li Yong heard this, he laughed and said, "Not yet. I still have one last trick that I haven't used yet?"
"One more move?" Li Bai thought to himself, I am at such a high place, you are not afraid of a hundred moves, unless...Li Bai suddenly remembered King Luo Bin's Tongtian Binding, and was afraid that Li Yong really had a unique move, so he hurriedly walked up.
"This is a slap!" Li Yong shouted.
As soon as the shouting stopped, his stylus "stuck" out a silver light, which turned out to be thousands of silver needles, shooting out like Li Bai.
Li Bai was shocked and couldn't figure out what the silver dot was for a while. He only knew that if he kept going up, he would definitely not be able to escape.
What should I do? Is this young man really going to lose to this "senior man"?
In the flash of lightning, Li Bai suddenly remembered the two lines of poems he had just written: Father Xuan can still be afraid of future generations, but his husband must not be young.
No matter what, let's fight for once while we are young.
Li Bai gritted his teeth, stepped forward and walked sideways, trying to forcefully break through Ling Yun and step on Ling Yunfei's fourth level.
One step, two steps, three steps! Li Bai actually took three steps horizontally and dodged all of Li Yong's silver needles.
Could it be that he really had a breakthrough? Li Bai was overjoyed for a while, but when he got emotional, his chest felt depressed, his feet were out of control for an instant, and he suddenly fell from a high altitude.
He fell so suddenly that Sima Heng and Zi Yan couldn't react at all, and it was too late to save him.
Li Bai was about to fall to the ground and was either dead or injured!
Suddenly, a figure flashed and a pair of hands firmly caught Li Bai.
Li Bai survived the catastrophe and was filled with gratitude. He took a closer look and found that the person who saved him was actually Li Yong.
At this time, Li Yong laughed loudly and said, "Haha, young man, you are now in my hands!"
When Li Bai heard this, he thought he was going to attack again, so he quickly broke away from his hand and got into a posture, ready to fight again.
