As Li Bai stood still, the crowd of onlookers suddenly burst into thunderous applause and cheers.
Li Bai turned around and cast a grateful look at Sima Heng. Sima Heng nodded in response, and the two of them smiled knowingly.
At this time, Zhang Zhongyuan raised his hand to Li Bai and said, "Li Bai, did you use Taishang Laojun's Lingyun Step just now?"
Li Bai returned the gift and said, "That's right, the one I used just now was the Lingyun Tread."
"Okay, the next generation is to be feared, the next generation is to be feared!" At this time, the county magistrate Song Xiaoxian and the deputy cabinet master Ma Zhi also jumped onto the ring.
Li Bai and Sima Heng both bowed to them.
Song Xiaoxian continued: "I didn't expect that two talented people with natural skills and martial arts would appear in Anhan County at the same time. It is really a great blessing for our county."
Zhang Zhongyuan also said: "Yes, this is also a great blessing for us at Anhan Tangming Pavilion!"
After saying this, both of them laughed.
The martial arts competition on this day was completed until Youshi. A total of eighty-six martial arts scholars were selected, and each received a martial arts scholar token and a hundred Kaiyuan Tongbao.
After Li Bai and Sima Heng received the scholar's token and Kaiyuan Tongbao, they went straight to Wangjiang Tower to celebrate.
As soon as he sat down, Li Bai took out fifty Kaiyuan Tongbao and handed it to Sima Heng, "Brother Sima, this is the registration fee you paid on my behalf. Please accept it."
Sima Heng pushed the money away with an angry look on his face, "Li Bai, who do you think I am, Sima Heng? Do you think I am your friend?"
Li Bai thought about it, how could a man as heroic as Sima Heng care about this? He quickly poured a glass of wine for Sima Heng, "Brother Sima Heng, I'm rude. Come on, I'll toast you with a glass of wine. I'll give you a drink."
I didn’t say what I just said.”
"That's pretty much it!" Sima Heng drank the wine in one gulp and threw the glass down. "I'm really happy today. Come on, Li Bai. We won't get home until we get drunk today!"
Li Bai laughed after hearing this, "Haha, Brother Sima, you will never get drunk until you are drunk? Have you forgotten that I will never get drunk after a thousand cups?"
Sima Heng also laughed, "Haha, I really forgot, but it doesn't matter. It's rare to have a close friend in life. If you don't come back tonight, you won't come back."
"What a 'hardly ever to have a close friend in life'!" Suddenly, the door of the wing room was pushed open, and a man wearing a gray cloth gown, a long sword on his back, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a round face and a wide mouth walked in.
Li Bai and Li Bai couldn't help but be startled. Li Bai asked: "Brother, I suddenly broke in. Is there anything wrong?"
The visitor laughed, took out a token from his arms and placed it on the sandalwood Eight Immortals table, then pulled up the round stool and sat down by himself.
Li Bai and Sima Heng took a look at the token on the table. The size and style were the same as the scholar token they had just received. However, it did not say "Martial Scholar" on it, but "Martial Scholar". It turned out that it was a piece of Tangming Pavilion.
Token for raising people.
"Haha, do you see clearly? We are all family members, don't be nervous, my name is Wu Zhizhi." At this time, the visitor put away the token and said.
Li Bai and Sima Hengyi raised their hands and said, "It turns out it's Brother Wu who came here unexpectedly. What do you mean?"
Wu Guanzhi poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. "I saw the two of you in the martial arts competition today. I really admire them. Especially Li Bai, your Lingyun Step has many similarities with the martial arts I learned from my master.
My guide, Wu, is a good friend, so I came to make acquaintance!"
"Oh, how wonderful it is to have friends from far away!" Li Bai took the jug and poured a glass for Wu Zhizhi, "I, Li Bai, always like to make friends with generous people. Come, brother Wu, have a glass of wine, and you and I will be friends!"
"
Sima Heng also raised his glass and said, "Yes, I, Sima Heng, am also good at making friends. Come on, drink!"
The three of them drank the wine in their glasses at the same time.
"By the way, Brother Wu, just now you said that the martial arts inherited from your master are similar to Lingyunta. How do you explain this?" Li Bai asked while filling Wu Guanzhi and Sima Heng's wine.
Wu Guanzhi said: "My mentor Zhang Ruoxu, through the song "Spring River Flowers on a Moonlit Night", he realized a unique skill: walking on the moon and floating on the water. Because it is similar to Taishang Laojun's Lingyun Step, it is also called 'Water Lingyun Step'.
'!"
""Moonlight Night on the Spring River"? Walking on the moon floating on the water? Walking on the water with flying clouds?" Li Bai was very curious and asked: "I wonder if Brother Wu can let us see it?"
Wu Guanzhi laughed and said, "My mentor said that skills must be passed down to the world before they can be carried forward, so let alone knowledge, it's okay to teach you. It's just that I'm not good at learning skills, and I can only learn 10% of what my teacher did! If I don't perform well,
, I hope you will bear with me."
After that, he chanted loudly:
(Spring River Flower Moonlight Night)
The spring river tide reaches the sea level, and the bright moon rises on the sea.
The twinkling waves follow the waves for thousands of miles, but there is no moon on the spring river!
The river flows around Fangdian, and the moonlight shines on the flowers and forests like sleet;
The frost is flying in the sky unknowingly, and the white sand on the pavilion cannot be seen.
The river and the sky were of the same color without any dust, and there was a solitary moon in the bright sky.
Who by the river sees the moon for the first time? When does the moon on the river shine on people for the first time?
Life is endless from generation to generation, and the river and the moon look alike every year.
…
Wu Guide paused at this point in his recitation, walked to the window, looked at the vast river, suddenly jumped forward, jumped out of the window, and continued to recite:
I don’t know who Jiang Yue is waiting for, but I see the Yangtze River sending water.
The white clouds fade away slowly, and the green maple pond is full of sorrow.
…
Li Bai and Sima Heng saw that Wu Guide had jumped from the window and hurriedly ran to the window. When they looked out, they saw that Wu Guide was standing firmly on the water, still chanting:
Whose family is in trouble tonight? Where can I miss Mingyue Tower?
The poor moon wanders upstairs and should be seen in the dressing mirror.
…
Li Bai and the two couldn't help but clapped their hands and exclaimed, it was indeed "water flying on the clouds"!
For a moment, Li Bai got excited and jumped out of the window. Before he hit the water, he lifted up the Lingyun Step, moved his feet up and down, and slowly walked up into the air.
In this way, the two of them were one in the air and the other on the water, like two immortals, extremely carefree.
Sima Heng felt very excited when he saw it, and suddenly felt the internal energy in his body rushing around. This was a sign of increased internal energy, so he immediately sat cross-legged and started practicing.
At this time, Wu Guanzhi, who was standing on the water, not only chanted, but also drew his sword and danced with the sword while reciting poems:
The jade door curtain cannot be rolled up, and it comes back when it is smashed and brushed on the anvil.
At this time, we look at each other but don't hear each other. I hope that the moonlight will shine on you.
The swans fly long and fast, and the fishes and dragons dive and leap into the water.
Last night, I dreamed of falling flowers in the pond, and it was a pity that I didn’t return home in the middle of spring.
The flow of spring in the river is almost gone, and the moon has set in the river pool and is tilting to the west again.
The slanting moon hides the sea fog, and the Jieshi and Xiaoxiang roads are endless.
I don’t know how many people are returning by the moon. The falling moon shakes the trees all over the river with love.
The sword dance is elegant and reflected in the waves, creating a beautiful scenery.
Li Bai was fascinated by what he heard and saw. He couldn't help but be touched. He looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky and recited a poem loudly:
(ask the wine to the moon)
When will the moon come in the blue sky? I'll stop drinking and ask.
People cannot reach the bright moon if they climb it, but the moon travels with people.
The bright sky is as bright as a flying mirror approaching Danque, and the green smoke extinguishes the clear brilliance.
But when I see the night coming from the sea, I would rather know that I am missing among the clouds.
The white rabbit makes medicine, autumn returns to spring, who is Chang'e living alone next to?
People today cannot see the moon of ancient times, but the moon of today once illuminated the ancients.
People in ancient times and today are like water flowing, and they look at the bright moon together like this.
I only wish that the moonlight would always shine in the golden cup while singing and drinking.
As soon as the poem was recited, Li Bai suddenly felt that his feet had weight, and he was no longer as floating as before. He felt excited, maybe Lingyun was about to break through! He did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly recited the poem again.
As soon as he finished reciting, Li Bai felt as if his feet were on flat ground, and he had actually completed the second level of Lingyun Step: Under the Lingyun!
"Hahaha, come on, come on!" Li Bai walked up and down in the air excitedly...
Seeing this, Wu Guanzhi stopped dancing his sword and shouted loudly: "Li Bai, I didn't see your Ling Yun Treading so freely during the competition just now. Could it be that the poem just now made you feel something?"
Li Bai responded loudly: "To be honest with Brother Wu, the poem just now really made me have a breakthrough. I have completed the practice of 'Ling Yunxia', and I can finally go up and down freely in the future."
"That's really worth raising a toast to celebrate! Come on, Li Bai, let's go back and have a drink!" After saying that, Wu Zhizhi jumped up and jumped back to the wing.
Seeing this, Li Bai also walked down from the sky, stepped through the window, and jumped back to the wing.
In the side room, Sima Heng was sitting cross-legged practicing. When the two of them saw this and knew that Sima Heng was about to break through, they immediately locked the side room and ordered the shopkeeper, waiter and others not to disturb him. Then they went to another side room to arrange the food and drinks again.
After a round of eating, Wu Zhizhi told Li Bai that he was a martial arts examiner who passed the exam last year, and Tangming Pavilion ranked 986th. He usually likes to travel around and make friends. When he has no money, he goes to Tangming Pavilion to get a few bronze posts.
, but lived a carefree life.
Li Bai was extremely envious when he heard this, and thought to himself, I have already set my ambition: to stabilize Wulin and stabilize the country! I will apply Guan Yan's talk, the art of plotting emperors, and develop his wisdom. I am willing to assist Bi, so that the whole region will be settled, and Hai County will be clear.
1! Why not travel around the Tang Dynasty first, increase your knowledge, practice martial arts, and realize your ambition as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Li Bai proposed to travel with Wu Guanzhi in the future.
Wu Guanzhi was very happy after hearing this and agreed immediately, and made an appointment with Li Bai to go to Mount Emei to search for immortals in three months.
