301 chapters, cooking tea with bare hands adds to the night, breeze and moon are looking at the autumn

Li Bai was born in the first year of Chang'an in Zhouwu (701 AD) and was born in Suye City, Tiaozhi Governor's Mansion. Its land was west of Rehai. Ten years before Li Bai was born, Mei Zhenyi had visited Rehai. At that time, he was captured by Zuoyouxian. Mei Xiaolang and Wang Fangyi led a large army to eliminate the Turkic rebellion and pacified the Western Regions in one fell swoop. Later, the business roads flourished, and this place became the key to trade exchanges between the West and the Tang Dynasty.

Li Bai's ancestral home is Longxi and calls himself a descendant of King Wu Zhao of Liang. According to genealogy, he should be the 25th generation grandson of Li Guang, a famous general of the Han Dynasty. However, this statement cannot be verified. Li Bai's ancestors moved to Suiye to escape the rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty. The merchants and Hu lived in a mixed place. He was born in an era when trade was booming, and his father was a local merchant.

When he was five years old, Li Bai moved to Shu with his father Li Ke and his family. At that time, the plains of Sichuan were already known as the country of Tianfu. He was smart and studious since childhood, and read a lot of books. He was a hero and martial artist, and he was good at traveling with swords. He was a versatile talent in civil and military affairs. At the age of twenty-five, he left Shu, traveled to Chang'an and went to Chang'an to seek fame but failed. He then got the Taoist priest's book, named Qinglian, and went to Donglu to practice swords under the sword fairy Pei Min's disciple for three years.

When he was young, Li Bai was a frivolous and squandering man. His father and brother were both wealthy businessmen, who operated goods trade along the Yangtze River to Sichuan. The Li family also had business dealings with the Liu family in Wuzhou. Now Li Bai is nearly 40 years old and is still a commoner.

The education received by scholars in that era was of course the country of Wen'an and Wu Ding. Li Bai had a great mind and great ambitions. He praised Jiang Shang, Guan Zhong, Zhang Liang, Kong Ming and other historical figures, and often compared them to themselves. Such ambition was of course difficult to achieve. Moreover, Li Bai had a naive fantasy. He disdained to be a minor official in the prefecture, but hoped to become an imperial teacher and display his talent as a prime minister.

This is a kind of literati-like crazy style, which is very bold and romantic in the poetic artistic conception. But when facing reality, there is always a sense of frustration that you are not satisfied with talent.

Li Bai first climbed Jingting Mountain after he came out of Yuzhen Temple. The important purpose of his visit to Wuzhou was to pay a visit to Princess Yuzhen and ask for the princess' recommendation. He had a Taoist priest's book, and Yuzhen was also a Master Chiying who was officially admitted to the rituals. This was a visit between fellow practitioners. There was another relationship that made Yuzhen not see him. Li Bai called himself the ninth generation grandson of King Zhao of Liang. According to the genealogy of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, the Emperor Gaozu of Tang, was the seventh generation grandson of King Zhao of Liang, and Li Bai was the elder of the same clan of Yuzhen.

Li Bai was a little confused. Whether it was a worldly practitioner or an official "informer", no one directly sent a famous post to Yu Zhenguan to meet Master Chiying. If you have any questions, you would go to Qiyunguan to say hello. Yu Zhen lives in the fairy family blessed land of Qingyi Sanshan. Although Li Bai participated in the sword washing pool meeting, he didn't know the relationship between Mei Zhenyi and Yu Zhen, so he asked to see Yu Zhen directly.

As Master Jiying, Yu Zhen was not easy to explain, so he came out of the mountain to meet Li Bai in Qiyun Temple. Li Bai was shocked when he saw Yu Zhen. Princess Yu Zhen was still described as a young man. It seemed that he was a successful person in immortal cultivation, so he also asked for advice on the way of cultivation. However, Yu Zhen did not talk about this topic and directly asked Li Bai's purpose.

Li Bai presented a poem titled "Sitting alone in Jingting Mountain"—

The birds fly high, and the lonely clouds go to leisure alone.

We never get tired of seeing each other, only Jingting Mountain.

This poem is a very elegant praise for a practitioner living in the mountains. The text is plain and the artistic conception is distant. Princess Yuzhen praised it after reading it and expressed her deep gratitude. It was a popular etiquette to present poems in the Tang Dynasty. If it is a masterpiece, it will be a good story for a while. It is more respectful than giving a gold card to meet in modern society.

Then Li Bai tactfully explained his purpose, and he came to ask for recommendation. Yu Zhen had long heard of Li Bai's talent and poetry, so she nodded and agreed.

Yu Zhen immediately gave a poem, which also titled "Sitting Alone on Jingting Mountain"—

He gathered several peaks and rushed to Pingchu.

The highest top in the middle seems to follow the heavenly words.

The absolute height of Jingting Mountain is not high, and it is less than 400 meters according to modern measurements. Although the poem is titled "Sitting Alone in Jingting Mountain". In fact, it describes the scene of Qingyi Mountain. It implies that I am not sitting alone in Jingting Mountain, but accompanying the immortal fate in Qingyi Mountain. On the other hand, the sentence "It seems to follow the heavenly words" also tells Li Bai that he will find an opportunity to recommend him as a talent to the emperor in Chang'an City. The meaning of ancient poems and essays is sometimes difficult to understand if contemporary people do not know the background.

(Note: The poem written in the book is written by the novelist Yuzhen. Some people later suspected that it was written by Li Bai, but it was not included in the "Complete Works of Li Taibai".)

Li Bai was in a good mood when he saw Yuzhen. He did not let his servant follow him. He went to Jingting Mountain alone along the ten-mile peach blossom road. He was about to sing. When he climbed the top of Jingting along the mountain path, the sky was already dark. Half a bright moon was in the sky, Li Bai stopped in a blue shirt and looked away. The moon on Jingting Mountain was half a round of autumn, and the moonlight on Qingjiang River was shaking.

Li Bai was about to chant when he suddenly heard a woman behind him saying, "Mr. Taibai climbed to Jingting. The immortal in the mountains has an old age. I specially ordered me to cook tea and treat guests. The night was getting darker. After drinking tea, please go down the mountain."

Li Bai went up the mountain to alarm the Qing Emperor in the sacred wood forest. Qing Emperor seemed to know this person, so he did not drive him away directly, but ordered Green Xue to make tea and entertain guests, and then sent him down the mountain. When Li Bai turned around, he saw a woman in green sitting on the top of the mountain with her eyebrows and eyes as if she was a graceful figure. Her gentle look at her looks seemed to be one with the mountains, rivers and moonlight.

There was a long case in front of the woman, and there was a small red mud stove on the case. The stove was boiled in a red copper pot and the tea was made with a pink and green glaze cup next to it.

Li Bai was also surprised that such a lonely woman suddenly appeared in the mountains at night. However, after seeing the woman's appearance, he was a little confused for a moment. The beauty of green snow without a trace of vulgar fireworks was as if it was a clear and spiritual charm. Seeing her, she was like the mountain wind blowing her face, and the feeling of pleasure seemed to be everywhere.

This woman is definitely not a monster. After hearing what she said just now, she came to serve tea with the order of the immortal in the mountains. Li Bai was also a madman with unique skills. After being surprised, he laughed and walked straight to the front of the long desk and sat down and said, "I have a good life to travel to famous mountains. I don't want to meet wonderful people on Jingting Mountain. May I ask about the name of the girl?"

The woman replied, "My name is Luxue. I stopped at Jingting and came to see the teacher down the mountain for the immortal attendant who practiced in the mountains. Before going down the mountain, I served a cup of tea with guests." While speaking, the water in the pot had already opened. The woman made a cup of tea and served it with her slim hands.

Li Bai took the tea and looked at the beauty under the moon. The more he looked, the more he felt the charm was extraordinary. He was a little crazy. He also forgot that the tea cup was hot. He held the cup and asked, "Miss is just calling me Mr. Taibai. Have you known me before?"

Luxue: "I have heard of the name of Mr.

This sentence made Li Bai misunderstand. Lu Xue heard from Emperor Qing that the person from the mountain was Mr. Taibai, and Li Bai thought that he was famous and even this fairy-like girl knew about it. He specifically heard the news and presented tea late at night. What a romantic story. Who is not good at this since ancient times?

Li Bai raised his glass to taste the tea, but felt that the fragrance remained between his lips and teeth for a long time. Looking at the beauty in front of him, the tea seemed to have turned into fine wine. After drinking this cup, he became a little drunk. He did not get up to say goodbye after drinking the tea, but put down the cup and chanted—

I follow the autumn wind. The jade grass is afraid of its decline. The mountains are not famous on the way, how can I play with the clouds and moons... Jingting Pavilion is simple and peaceful, the boats are clear and bright, the ice valleys are bright and beautiful. The mountains embrace the river city... I miss you like the bright moon, you can't see it, how can you move your white feet, and it will soar to the Cangshan Mountains sooner or later...

However, before the long poem was finished, a person from a distance said coldly: "I finished drinking the tea but didn't leave. I'm whispering here in the middle of the night!" - The last few lines in Li Bai's poem provoked Emperor Qing.

Li Bai turned his head and saw a man with silver hair and golden eyes under the moonlight, with a blood-colored face covered with a layer of silver wool all over his body. He exclaimed and drew his sword and said, "Don't be afraid of Miss Green Snow. With me here, the demons can't hurt you!"-

No wonder Li Bai misunderstood. It would be strange if Emperor Qing appeared in the middle of the night. Others wouldn't treat him as a monster! Emperor Qing ignored Li Bai who was pointing at him with a sword in front of him, but scolded Lu Xue with dissatisfaction: "I ordered you to make a cup of tea and send him down the mountain with gifts. Why is this person still here?"

Luxue quickly lowered her head and bowed, "Don't be upset with the immortal, I was so impressed by listening to him chanting poems. I was delayed for a moment."

When Li Bai heard this, he was very confused. He raised his sword and looked at Qingdi and looked at Luxury again. "Suddenly," he said, "Miss Luxury, have you been held hostage by this demon and unable to escape? Therefore, I am looking for an opportunity to ask me for help. Don't be afraid, I will make the decision for you!"

Luxue did not respond, waved her sleeves and said, "Mr. Taibai, please go down the mountain quickly." Her tone seemed to have done something wrong.

Li Bai couldn't leave anymore and had to figure out what the relationship between these two people was. Normal people would misunderstand this scene. Who doesn't have the hero's desire to save beauty? Li Bai's sword light was soaring. At this moment, someone suddenly shouted in the air: "Mr. Taibai, don't misunderstand, these two are the immortal Qingdi and the god of Jingting Mountain."

While speaking, a man fell from the sky and grabbed Li Bai's wrist holding the sword. Before Li Bai could come to his senses, he felt his feet off the ground and was taken down by the man. After standing still, he realized that it was next to Wanjia Hotel, ten miles away from the Peach Blossom Road. He knew the people standing by. It was Mei Zhenyi, a master of the Earth Immortals, who had seen Mei Zhenyi, at the Sword Washing Pool Dharma Assembly.

Li Bai sacrificed his sword energy on Jingting Mountain, alarming Mei Zhenyi in the vast world of endless mysterious fields. There was Qing Emperor in the mountains, and others would not disturb him. Mei Zhenyi hurriedly came down from the world. Li Bai saw Mei Zhenyi next to him and asked in surprise: "Isn't this Mei Zhenren? Why did he suddenly appear in Jingting in the middle of the night and pull him down here?"

Before Mei Zhenyi could answer, she heard the voice of Emperor Qing from Jingting Mountain in the distance: "Li Taibai, you came to Wuzhou to ask Princess Yuzhen for recommendation, and said in my mountain, "Lovesickness is like the bright moon, and you can't reach it"? Let's go to the world and say what you are crazy about, "Why should you move your white feet, and sooner or later,""

Qing Emperor's divine thought sent to the voice of this sentence, his expression slowed down, and asked Lu Xue who was standing beside him, saying, "Lu Xue, do you like listening to people chanting poems?"

Lu Xue bowed and replied, "It's not the case. I just don't understand the wonderful meaning. I was a little immersed in a moment and did not send him down the mountain as the command of the immortal."

The Qing Emperor shook his head slightly, turned around and left as if he was talking to himself: "Lovesickness is like the bright moon, it is unattainable, so why should I move my white feet and soar to the Cangshan Mountain sooner or later? Now the poetry style in the world is so prosperous. Since this mountain is in this mountain, it seems that I might as well watch the world with my Dharma eyes and write a few poems... Green snow, you should still call me a fairy child like before, and it will be pleasant to listen to it."

Mei Zhenyi’s feelings for Li Bai were different from those of other people at that time. Who wouldn’t know the name of the poet Li Taibai thousand years later? It’s far from comparable to ancient poets such as Meng Haoran! I missed it at the Sword Washing Pool Technique Conference, and Mei Zhenyi felt regretful. Now he actually ran up Jingting Mountain by himself, so of course he had to make friends.

Being able to talk to Li Bai in a good conversation was a god-like yearning for later generations, but Mei Zhenyi had the opportunity to experience it personally. Seeing that Li Bai was not tired and confused about what happened on Jingting Mountain, Mei Zhenyi simply knocked on the door of Wanjia Hotel, found a seat on the second floor, and ordered the clerk to light a candle to make some specialties, serve the best old spring yellow, and talk to Taibai for a drink.

Mei Zhenyi explained to Li Bai the origin of Qingdi and Green Snow. Qingdi is an immortal who practices in the mountains. Luxue is a mountain god enthroned by Wu Zetian. Now he has been given a decree by Li Longji. Qingdi practices in the mountains without being disturbed by ordinary people, so he ordered Luxue to appear and serve a cup of tea and ask him down the mountain very "politely".

Li Bai is not an immortal family. Mei Zhenyi didn't say anything too complicated and mysterious. She just introduced a rough idea. Li Bai was a little confused and asked with a wine glass, "According to the words of Green Snow, the strange monk who claims to be the Qing Emperor has an old age with me, and I have never seen him. Has he ever heard my name?"

Mei Zhenyi smiled bitterly and said, "He may have met you in the past life, and I can't explain it clearly. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have sent you to the guests with a cup of tea and would have driven you down to Jingting Mountain directly."

Mei Zhenyi personally pulled Li Bai to drink in the middle of the night. Of course, Ji Sihou, the owner of Wanjia Hotel, was alarmed. He had heard of Li Bai's name for a long time and took this opportunity to pay a visit. Mei Zhenyi apologized: "Jisu, I've disturbed you in the middle of the night. Since my sleepiness has subsided, I'll sit down and have two drinks together."

The three of them drank together. Li Bai praised this fine wine. He also appreciated Ji Sou, who had been brewing this fine wine for generations. After chatting, he actually talked about Ji Sou's name. Mei Zhenyi asked him why he called "Sihou"?

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Ji Sou also opened his mouth and said embarrassedly: "My grandfather Ji Gongshan City admired the most is Mei Xiaolang, the Marquis of Southern Lu. Later, he was Gong Lu. Our family has brewed and managed the old Chunhuang for generations, but there was no big shot. Mr. Tomei earned a lot of money, but he was still a humble wine merchant. My grandfather named me Sihou and asked me to study since I was a child, just to be a marquis who would be the prime minister and shine on the family....I am ashamed that I will know the destiny of heaven in the year, but I am still a restaurant owner. If I have the expectations of my ancestors, I am really unfilial to my descendants."

Li Bai comforted, "Why did Ji Sou say this? My family has heard of the famous name of Wuzhou's old Chunhuang in Sichuan. If you can make the fine wines that have been brewed for generations famous all over the world, it is to shine the door and repay the ancestors...... If you drink this wine for a long time and travel to famous mountains, what does it mean to be a king or a prince?"
