Four days later, the ship arrived in Suzhou. Several people got ashore and went straight to Gusu Terrace.
Gusu Terrace is located on Gusu Mountain in the southwest outside Suzhou City. It was built by King Helu of Wu and was continued by Fu Chai. It took five years to complete. However, Fu Chai was defeated by Gou Jian and Gusu Terrace was burned down by fire, leaving it empty.
A ruin.
It was already evening when Li Bai and the others arrived at Gusu Terrace, with the bright moon in the sky. From a distance, the ruins of Gusu Terrace were very grand. Although they were broken tiles and ruins, they could still see the magnificence of the time.
The three of them climbed up the stairs along Wanran Road and climbed onto the remaining 100-meter-long platform. Under the moonlight, the lakes and mountains within a radius of a hundred miles were clearly visible. The vast sky and the wonderful scenery were intoxicating.
This situation immediately aroused Li Bai's poetry, and he opened his mouth and chanted:
(Su Tai Ancient View)
Old garden, deserted terrace, new willow trees,
Ling Ge's a cappella song is so popular in spring.
Now there is only the moon of Xijiang River,
I once took photos of the people in King Wu's palace.
After reciting a poem, but still feeling sad, Li Bai pondered for a moment and composed another poem:
(Wu Qi Qu)
When I was sitting on the stage in Gusu,
Xi Shi was drunk in the palace of King Wu.
Wu Ge and Chu dance are not over yet,
The green mountains want to hold half of the sun.
Silver arrows and gold pots leak a lot of water,
Start watching the autumn moon fall into the river waves.
The east is getting higher and higher, what a joy!
After composing two poems in a row, Li Bai suddenly fell into a kind of historical sadness, unable to extricate himself for a while, and the Lingyun Ta Zhen Qi in his body rolled endlessly and could not be suppressed.
Li Bai did not dare to be careless, so he immediately sat cross-legged and performed his exercises to control the chaos.
Seeing this, Sima Heng and Zi Yan did not dare to disturb them, so they stood aside and waited.
After a long time, Li Bai suddenly shouted, and Ling Yun's infuriating energy penetrated his body, forming a circular infuriating shield three feet around his body. As the shield was formed, Li Bai suddenly felt relaxed physically and mentally, and with a movement of power,
I found that Ling Yun's infuriating energy had increased tremendously, and he had touched the bottom of the second level of infuriating energy.
Sima Heng and Zi Yan were very surprised when they saw Li Bai suddenly using a transparent shield. Sima Heng stretched out his hand to touch it curiously and found that the shield was extremely hard, and said loudly: "Li Bai, you can actually use the Qi shield."
!”
Li Bai smiled happily, put away the protective shield, and said: "I just learned that Ling Yun can form a protective shield by stepping on his Qi. In other words, when fighting with others in the future, I no longer have to flee to the sky at every turn!"
Zi Yan was also happy for Li Bai and said: "Li Bai, congratulations on your great progress in martial arts! But then again, I still like the feeling of flying around in the sky with you."
"That's not easy, how about I take you to fly around Gusu Terrace right away?" Li Bai said, and before Zi Yan could say anything, he reached out to pick her up, lifted Ling Yunfei up, and flew around Gusu Terrace in a large circle.
The moonlight was bright, and the two of them were like a fairy couple, soaring in the sky above this eternal Sutai.
When Sima Heng saw this, he was also amazed that the two handsome men and beauties were a perfect match. He thought that it wouldn't be long before this Ziyan girl would become Mrs. Li.
Just as I was thinking about it, Li and Bai had already returned.
The excitement of Zi Yan's flying was not over, her face was flushed, and she lowered her head and said nothing.
When Sima Heng saw him, he pushed Li Bai and said, "Li Bai, your flying skills are really good! But don't forget the purpose of our coming here."
"I haven't forgotten to look for Sutaensis worms! But I just walked around a lot and didn't find any nanmu in Sutai Mountain. So I really don't know where to look for Sutainan worms?"
"The map of Tianbao does not show the specific location of this Sutaenan worm?"
"No, I only painted the Gusu Terrace. I was wondering if the Sutaina worm might be among the ruins of the Gusu Terrace!"
When Sima Heng heard this, he looked at the vast ruins in front of him and couldn't help but feel worried, "There are countless ruins here, how can I find a small insect among them?"
"No matter, since the Heaven and Earth Bag led us here, I believe we will be able to find the Sutanan worm."
"Well, let's search separately like last time!" After saying that, Sima Heng began to search among the broken tiles and ruins.
When Li Bai and Zi Yan saw this, they also dispersed and searched for each other.
After searching for two hours, they still found nothing. Late at night, they found a cave and took a rest.
Early the next morning, several people started looking again.
Three days passed like this, and there was still no trace of the nanmu and the nanworm.
Could it be that there are no Sutaensis bugs in Taichung, Suzhou?
Li Bai took out the sky bag again and observed it carefully, "Yes, this painting is clearly Gusu Terrace, why can't we find it?"
Just when a few people were deeply puzzled, they suddenly saw a middle-aged man wearing a long purple gown and holding a pair of small bronze bells walking out of the ruins in front of them.
They didn't expect that these ruins could still hide people, and the three of them were greatly surprised.
Li Bai looked at the man who came out and saw that he was gentle and polite, looking like a monk, so he caught up and saluted: "Brother, please stay here. Li Bai, I saw brother walking out of the ruins. He seemed to be like a monk."
A cultivator, I came here to see you, but I don’t know what to call my brother?”
Seeing that Li Bai was so polite, the man returned the greeting and said, "Zhang Ji."
"It turns out to be Brother Zhang. May I ask Brother Zhang why he is practicing Taoism in the ruins?"
Zhang Ji smiled and said, "This ruins is the thousand-year-old Gusu Terrace, a treasured place for Qing Xiu. Why can't I do Qing Xiu here? On the contrary, it's you who have been searching here for days, disturbing others for Qing Xiu!"
When Li Bai and the others heard this, they were startled. It turned out that the activities of these people in the past three days had been known to others.
Li Bai cupped his hands and said, "It turns out that Brother Zhang already knew about our arrival. I'm really sorry for disturbing your Qingxiu."
Zhang Ji waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I have been practicing Taoism here for ten years, and I have not been disturbed once or twice."
"Ten years of practicing Taoism." When Li Bai heard this, he thought he might know about Nanmu, so he said to Zhang Ji: "Brother Zhang has been practicing Taoism here for ten years. Can I ask you about it?"
"What's the matter?"
"Is there nanmu in this Gusu Terrace?"
When Zhang Ji heard this, he seemed to have some realization: "I also asked what are you looking for? It turns out that you are looking for nanmu. What are you looking for nanmu for?"
Li Bai didn't hide anything and said directly: "We are looking for Nanmu to save people."
"Save people? Can nanmu save people? I think you are not looking for nanmu, but the Sutaensis worm in the nanmu!"
"Ah!" When the three of them heard this, they shouted in unison, and they were very surprised: How could Zhang Ji know about the Sutaensis worm?
Li Bai couldn't help but look at Zhang Ji carefully again, and this time he felt an aura exuding from him. It seemed that this person was not simple!
So he made a series of remarks to Zhang Ji and said: "Brother Zhang, how come you know about the Sutaensis worm?"
Zhang Ji smiled slightly and said, "I have been practicing here for ten years, and this is the tenth time you have come to find Su Tainan Chong. How could I not know?"
"The tenth one?" Li Bai was even more surprised, "Brother Zhang, can the nine people before find the Sutainan worm?"
"Two people found it."
Zi Yan became happy when she heard that two people had found it, which meant that there was really a Suthecaenidae here. So she quickly stepped forward and asked, "Brother Zhang, do you know where this Suthena worm is?"
Zhang Ji laughed and said, "Of course I know, I raised this Sutanan worm!"
You raised it! Li Bai and the other three were suddenly shocked. After searching for so long and talking so much, it turned out that he raised this Sutanan worm!
"Brother Zhang, how many have you raised? Can you give me one?" Zi Yan asked excitedly.
"I raised ten of them and gave away two, leaving eight left. You can also give one to you, but the premise is that you must do two things."
"What two points?"
"The first thing is to catch it!"
"Catch it? No problem, where is it?" Sima Heng stepped forward and asked.
Zhang Ji looked at Sima Heng and said with a smile: "Don't be so confident. This Sutainan insect moves very fast and is very good at flying. Even I can only call it out, but I can't catch it!"
"Ah, you can't catch it even if you raise it?"
"Actually, raising them is just a matter of luck. Phoebe insects love to eat and sleep. It's common for them to hide in Phoebe trees for a year without feeding them at all. I just brought them from the Western Regions when they were still larvae and kept them in my aunt.
They were just among the nanmu in Sutai, and I never caught them again after they grew up."
"So that's it. Brother Zhang is calling them out now. Let's see if we can catch them." Sima Heng said.
When Zhang Ji heard this, he laughed: "Haha, this brings us to the second point. The second point is why should I help you call them out?"
"Ah!" Sima Heng and the other three looked at each other in shock.
"Brother Zhang, I want this Sutainan insect to save people, so you can do it for your convenience," Li Bai said.
"Who comes to Sutainensis not to save people? If you say this, I won't be able to raise another hundred more!"
"Then how can Brother Zhang help me with this?"
Zhang Ji thought for a while and said: "Well, I see that your martial arts are not weak. Let's try it out. If you win, I will call out the Sutainan insect. How about that?"
When Sima Heng heard this, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Okay, Brother Zhang, then let's do it!"
"Okay, can you make the move first?" Zhang Ji made a "please" gesture to Sima Heng.
"Okay!" Sima Heng made a fist, then lifted up the phoenix and flew towards Zhang Ji.
