Lanling fine wine tulips, jade bowl filled with amber light.

Exquisite glass cups, mellow grape wine.

The wine exudes a refreshing fragrance, and every drop can bring people into the best dreams.

This is the first of the four beauties prepared for the king of ghosts to open the gate of ghosts - fine wine.

In order to match these fine wines, Shen Yi and the little devil in the kitchen prepared a table of sumptuous meals.

The golden crispy meat that is deep-fried until charred on the outside and tender on the inside, the squirrel mandarin fish that is deliciously sweet and moist in color, the spicy preserved egg with a unique taste, the Huadiao drunken crab that blends the aroma of wine and crab...

There are also all kinds of Sichuan, Hunan, Shandong and Cantonese dishes ordered by the king of ghosts, and the table is full of mouth-watering.

This is the second beauty - food.

Li Bai raised his glass to invite the moon. Looking at the scene of this feast, the good poem came out like a chapter: "If you don't see the water of the Yellow River coming up from the sky, rushing to the sea and never returning. If you don't see the mirror in the high hall, sad and white hair, like blue silk in the morning and snow in the evening, life is proud Have fun..."

This is the third beauty - beautiful poetry.

As for the fourth beauty...

After Li Bai finished reciting the poem, he looked back at the four crooked apprentices who had come back from the ghost gate with the ghost king's son: "There is still a beauty missing."

He looked at the looks of several people: "This monkey face... tsk, it's too ugly, the pig face is not good, and the one with the beard is not suitable..."

"It's up to you." Li Bai smiled and pointed to Jiang Yan, the only one who looked fair, "You come to play the beauty!"

Jiang Yan:? ? ?

All people and ghosts looked at him expectantly.

Even Shen Yi said: "Only by completing the mission of Simei, the ghost king will open the door to Tang Dynasty for us. Why don't you sacrifice a bit, anyway, you are familiar with this job."

Jiang Yan: ...

10 minute later.

A tall beauty with a tall figure and gorgeous makeup stood in the center of the hall, her expression looked a bit cool, she could be regarded as a cold beauty.

The ghost king sipped fine wine, ate delicious food, listened to Li Bai's poems, and finally nodded his head and looked at Jiang Yan in front of him with approval: "Not bad! The four beauties you prepared are indeed beautiful!"

Li Bai strikes while the iron is hot and makes a request: "Then please ask Lord Ghost King to help us open the ghost gate leading to Datang."

The ghost king raised his eyebrows: "Are you going too?"

"I want to escort the master and apprentice to Datang," Li Bai said.

"Alright." The ghost king waved his hand casually, and a ghost gate with faint blue light appeared in front of everyone.

He told Li Bai: "Remember to come back."

Beyond the ghost gate is their destination - Datang.

Several people were a little excited, but when they walked out of the gate to the boundary between humans and ghosts, they found that the prosperous Tang Dynasty was not in front of them.

Ghost Gate Pass sent them to a mountain gorge.

The green mountains on both sides of the strait are shrouded in gloomy thick fog, the valleys and rivers in the mountains are wide and endless, with waves everywhere, and the sky is full of dark clouds so thick that they can block the sky.

It should be a valley with beautiful scenery, but it has an atmosphere more depressing than the ghost world.

"Did the ghost king send it to the wrong place? I thought we would go to Chang'an City in Datang." Second senior brother Wang Tianzhen wondered.

Li Bai also looked around suspiciously: "There is indeed a difference..."

"But I still have some impressions here." Li Bai stood on the bank of the river and looked out to confirm, "If I remember correctly, this is Wu Gorge, so this mountain should be Wushan, right?"

"The ghost king really made a mistake? How should we go to Datang now?"

"Thousands of miles of China are Tang Dynasty, that's right." Li Bai looked very interested, "I haven't been to Wushan for a long time, maybe I haven't seen Baidi City for a long time."

Baidi City, a beautiful place, is a holy place for literati in the past dynasties. It is known as the "Poetry City". Li Bai himself wrote many poems for Baidi City.

Seeing Mr. Shixian's happy appearance of revisiting the old place, several people finally understood that this should be the place they must pass through to clear the customs.

The third junior brother Lei Hu said: "If the last level is Li Bai's "The Difficult Road to Shu", then our copy is actually the poetry unit of the third compulsory course?"

Wang Tianzhen nodded: "There are a total of four poems written by great poets of the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi and Li Shangyin."

"So here is..." Wang Tianzhen's son is a high school student. He paid attention to the contents of the textbook when he was tutoring homework, and it is easy to think of Du Fu's poem based on the scene in front of him——

"Jade dew withers the maple forest, and Wushan Wuxia is desolate?"

Several people were still discussing, and suddenly saw a small boat docked on the river bank not far away.

The boatman waved to them: "Are you going to Baidi City?"

Li Bai hurriedly said: "Please take the boatman to take us!"

Before Shen Yi and the others asked, Li Bai had already dragged several people onto the boat.

The boatman was an old man. While floating on the river with a penny on his back, he looked back at Li Bai: "Sir, at first glance, he is a scholar full of knowledge!"

Looking at the river in front of him, he murmured: "Last year I also took a poet on a tour of the river."

"He is old and living a poor life. He actually composed five poems during the trip, and the words and sentences are full of loneliness and poverty. I miss his poems a little bit."

Shen Yi whispered to his teammates beside him: "He should be talking about Du Fu, right?"

Wang Tianzhen confirmed: "It should be the five poems of Yonghuai's ancient monuments."

In 766 AD, Du Fu, in his fifties, was wandering in Kuizhou. His official career was frustrated, his health was sick, and his life was poor, which made him prosper in poetry. "Five Poems of Worshiping Ancient Sites", the one that is excerpted in the Chinese textbook is the third one, which sings of Wang Zhaojun's "Mountains and valleys go to Jingmen, and the concubine grows and there is still a village".

Even those who have a deep memory of Chinese textbooks, there is a high probability that they can only remember this song "Yong Huai Ancient Site No. [-]", and have no impression of the remaining four songs at all.

Sure enough, the boatman threw the problem to several people: "Several young masters, that poet is very famous, do you know which five poems I just mentioned?"

The five people looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to recite at all.

Suddenly, there was a strong wind in the gorge, and the boat began to shake desperately. The boatman also showed a ferocious expression: "Since you can't recite it, you can get on the boat when you can recite it!"

The hull swayed violently, and the surging waves almost overturned the boat, but the boatman and Li Bai were as stable as mountains on the boat, and only Shen Yi and the others were thrown off the boat by the huge waves.

The river water is icy cold, and the waves almost tear people's bodies apart.

After Jiang Yan fell into the water, he quickly turned into a little white dragon, but even the dragon in the water was almost twisted into a mahua by the evil waves.

Among the five, Shen Yi has the weakest physical strength.

The third junior brother Lei Hu's skill bonus is good water skills. Although he was sucked into the bottom of the waves, he was able to swim underwater with ease. Although the second senior brother and Su Chengwang were not as good at water as Lei Hu, at least they would not choke on the water.

Only Shen Yi floated up and down in the fierce waves, almost being photographed as a fool.

Fortunately, Jiang Yan quickly adapted to the law of walking in the surf. He quickly picked up a few people and carried them on his body. He wanted to fly directly, but found that the river seemed to be carrying some heavy gravity. He couldn't escape at all. not open.

Shen Yi, who had already climbed onto Jiang Yan's back, did his duty and counted the number of people while spitting out water: "Where is the third junior brother?!"

On the little white dragon's back are only Zhu Bajie with drooping ears, a skinny monkey with drenched hair, and the dying master.

Lei Hu, the third junior brother with the best water skills, did not appear.

"Lei Hu won't be washed away by the waves?!"

Not only because of the water-based skill bonus, but also because as a soldier, he had done diving training, so Lei Hu dived into the water the first moment he fell off the boat. At this time, he was holding them in the boat. The bottom of the boat in Wu Gorge.

Originally, he planned to find a chance to capsize the boat, but he found something important at the bottom of the boat.

The bottom of the boat was mottled by wooden boards, and Lei Hu found vague words carved on one of the wooden boards.

[Separate from the northeast wind-dust, drifting between the southwest world. 】

[The sun and the moon are flooded by the towers and terraces of the Three Gorges, and the clothes of the five streams are all clouds and mountains. 】

[Jiehu's owner is a rogue, and the Ci guest has not returned it when he is mourning. 】

[Yu Xin was the most bleak in his life, and his poetry and prose in his later years moved Jiangguan. 】

This seems to be... one of Du Fu's "Ode to the Ancient Site"? !

Lei Hu immediately broke off the wooden board with his bare hands. As soon as he let go, the hull of the boat flew out like an arrow off the string, and quickly disappeared in front of his eyes, leaving only a string of white foam.

Lei Hu raised the board and surfaced, only to find that the huge waves seemed to have stopped.

Several teammates were riding on Xiao Bailong, not far behind him.

Seeing him, Shen Yi immediately shouted excitedly: "Lei Hu! Lei Hu is there!"

Bailong swam to his side, and Leihu also turned over and climbed up, showing the wood chip in his hand to everyone.

Su Chengwang analyzed: "So our task is to find the clues of the five poems so that we can re-board the ship?"

"So it's impossible to catch up with that boat now?" Lei Hu asked.

Jiang Yan turned his head, and the dragon's beard flicked slightly: "I can't catch up, that ship disappeared soon, no matter how fast we speed up, we can't find him."

"Moreover," Jiang Yan tried to swim to the shore, but no matter how far he swam, Jiang An always kept a certain distance from them, "the shore will never swim."

"Until we collect all five poems, we must always float in this river."

Before everyone had time to sigh, the calm river surface suddenly produced another wave coming against the current.

Different from the waves just now, this wave... seems to have some huge monster jumping up from the water.

Several people smelled the breath of danger.

Su Chengwang immediately summoned the monkeys and monkey grandchildren, and countless monkeys appeared on the surrounding mountains and trees, creating a spectacular scene of "the apes on both sides of the strait can't help crying".

Lei Hu and Wang Tianzhen stabilized Shen Yi's back. Among them, he was the weakest in battle. If any monsters really appeared, he would be the most likely to cause problems in the battle.

Seeing that something huge was about to surface in front of him, Jiang Yan turned his head and rushed to Shen Yi and shouted: "Hold on firmly!"

Then quickly dive into the water.

The next moment, a high-speed rotating vortex suddenly appeared at their position just now, and soon a giant fish mouth with dense teeth surfaced.

It was a big black fish at least ten meters long.

The teeth in its mouth are sharp, seeing several people dodging easily, it quickly dived into the water and attacked again.

Su Chengwang immediately summoned the monkeys, and he quickly jumped off Jiang Yan while the fish turned a corner, and threw himself on the big fish together with all the monkeys.

The scales on the fish's body were slippery, making it impossible to touch, and many monkeys were thrown off by it.

Su Chengwang gritted his teeth and climbed up along the fish's fins. The big fish also noticed the strangeness on his body and twisted his body frantically to try to throw him off.

Su Chengwang hugged the sharp fins, his palms and arms were bloodstained, but he gritted his teeth and refused to let go.

The hard work paid off, and he found a few lines of writing on a fish scale just below the fin.

It is the second song in Yonghuai's monuments!

"There are words on the fish scale!" Su Chengwang shouted in the direction of Jiang Yan and the others.

Jiang Yan quickly received his signal, Su Chengwang pulled out his scales, and he quickly rushed towards the big fish head-on.

The big fish still hadn't reacted a bit, the next moment, the handsome white dragon jumped up from the water, its beautiful long tail drew a perfect streamline trace in the air, and his two sharp claws used the force of the dive to slash It stabbed hard into the body of the fish, leaving two deep blood marks six to seven meters long on the body of the big fish.

Blood gushed out, staining the surrounding clear water red.

The giant fish rolled violently in pain, and finally threw Su Chengwang off, no longer caring about talking to the others, and hurriedly fled and dived into the water.

Jiang Yan fished Su Chengwang up: "How about it, did you get it?"

Su Chengwang spread out his palm, the palm was covered with ferocious bloodstains, but the palm-sized scale with words printed on it was tightly held in his hand.

[Shaking Luo knows Song Yubei well, and I am also my teacher when he is elegant and elegant. 】

[I look forward to Qianqiu's tears, the depression is different from generation to generation. 】

[Jiangshan's former residence is empty, and the cloud-yuhuangtai is unimaginable. 】

[The most important thing is that the Chu palace is completely wiped out, and the people in the boat have pointed out that it is still doubtful. 】

This is the second song in Du Fu's "Yong Huai Ancient Site".

Shen also noticed the scar on Su Chengwang's hand, which had been soaked in the river water and turned slightly white: "Your hand...are you okay?"

Su Chengwang showed a mean smile: "What's the matter, Xiao Yi, are you feeling sorry for me?"

thump.

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yan flicked his long tail, and the monkey that had just been caught fell into the water again and became a drowned monkey.

The instigator just taunted him with contempt: "Oh, I didn't swim well just now."

Su Chengwang:? ? ?

I got two of the five poems. These two poems are quite difficult. I don't know what difficulties I will encounter later.

However, the few people had been swimming on the river for nearly an hour, and everything was calm and there was no danger at all.

The second brother Wang Tianzhen was lying on the tail of the dragon, with one foot still dangling in the water: "The weather seems to be getting warmer? It's quite comfortable to swim in the river like this."

The water temperature was not so cold anymore, and the long-term exhaustion made several people drowsy.

It was Jiang Yan who realized the anomaly for the first time: "Everyone wake up."

"There's something wrong with this water."

The water has become warm.

At first when they first fell into the water, they felt the river water was icy cold, but now they feel that the water is not only not cold, but also warm, very comfortable like a hot spring.

Lei Hu pulled Wang Tianzhen up seriously: "The water is getting hot."

Wang Tianzhen was a little confused: "Why can't I feel it?"

"Boil the frog in warm water." Jiang Yan said, "We have been in the water, and the water temperature rises so slowly that we can't feel the difference."

"But what is certain is that the water is getting hotter little by little."

"Then what should we do? It won't boil in the end?" Wang Tianzhen panicked, "Why don't you try to swim to the shore?"

"It's useless."

They can't leave this water at all, just like frogs that can't escape, they can't fly without wings.

Lei Hu tried to dive to the bottom of the water to check the situation. The water temperature was indeed high, and the aquatic animals seemed restless.

Unable to escape, without a boat, they will inevitably be submerged in the water.

The temperature rises higher and higher, and even begins to exceed human body temperature.

White mist began to rise from the surface of the water, and everyone's cheeks were flushed red as if they were soaking in a hot spring.

Xiao Bailong's skin was hot, but he was still holding on: "Come on me, the water is too hot."

Wang Tianzhen was dressed rough and hot, and he didn't know whether it was sweat or water on his forehead: "Aren't you also hot? Let's find a way..."

Before he finished speaking, the mountain beside him suddenly made a rumbling sound.

The few people were startled, thinking that a landslide had erupted, and hurriedly swam towards the safe zone.

But not a single stone or tree branch fell from the mountain. Two arms and a giant human face suddenly split out of the majestic mountain just now.

The human face looked at the water indifferently, and then pulled out two from the body, and the giant stone hand squeezed the tree trunk into the shape of chopsticks and fished it in the water, and there was a low roar from the mountain: "Is my hot pot about to boil? "

Crowd: ? ? ?

As he said that, the giant hand clamped Shen Yi's body with two tree trunks.

He couldn't break free at all, and was picked up in front of the giant human face. The huge mouth of the human face was opened, and the nose sniffed lightly: "This human smells delicious, eat this first..."

"and many more--"

Before being chewed to pieces, Shen Yi asked eagerly, "Master Mountain God! Are you... eating hot pot?"

The river below the mountain was getting hotter and hotter. Although Jiang Yan and the others were looking at the tall Shen Yi with some concern, they could tell that they were already extremely hot and were hovering on the verge of being cooked.

Have to figure out a way...

"That's how you eat?" Shen Yi said hastily, "There is no dipping sauce at the bottom of the clear soup pot. The most important thing is that there are so many different kinds of meat, are you stewing it in one pot?"

The mountain god hesitated for a moment, then looked at him suspiciously: "What's your opinion?"

"When eating hot pot, one must pay attention to the bottom of the pot;

Shen Yi pointed to a few people in the river: "Look, monkey meat, pork, human meat, and..."

He pointed to Jiang Yan: "There is also eel meat, how can it be delicious to stew together!"

Jiang·Field Eel·Yan:? ? ?

"What you said seems to make sense." The mountain god put Shen Yi on the stone platform in front of him, "Then which one do you think I should eat first?"

"Fill them up first." Shen Yi was afraid that he would overcook a few people, "I think, if you eat this as a fish hot pot, it might have a different flavor."

The mountain god looked silly and sweet who had never seen the world: "What is fish hot pot?"

He fished several people out of the water according to Shen Yi's instructions. Although they could not get out of the water by their own ability, they could still rely on the external force of the mountain god.

Shen Yichong winked at the reddened people who were boiled, telling them to reduce their presence as soon as possible, and then exchanged various seasonings from the system.

Shen Yi had never stewed such a big hot pot before, so Shen Yi could only try to mix a pot of rattan pepper fish hot pot soup for the mountain god to use as a dipping sauce.

Ginger, garlic and watercress, as well as various millet peppers, pickled peppers, etc., and the most important Chinese prickly ash and rattan pepper, all the seasonings are mixed together and boiled. As the pot on Shen Yi’s side boils and bubbles, the river water at the foot of the mountain is also gurgling. Hot air rose from the sky.

After a while, countless fish and shrimps floated on the surface of the river.

There were big and small ones, of course the big fish that chased them just now couldn't escape, and now it was rolling its eyes and floating across the river.

The mountain god moved his index finger and quickly caught several big fish.

These fish are huge to Shen Yi and the others, but they are not enough to fit between the teeth of the huge mountain.

The fresh and tender fish meat was quickly broken open by the mountain god with tree trunk chopsticks. Even if there is no seasoning in the river, as long as the fish is fresh enough, the fragrance will be penetrating enough.

The mountain god took a piece and put it in the rattan pepper fish hot pot ingredients prepared by Shen Yi and rinsed it.

The golden rattan pepper oil quickly covered the whole body of the fish, and the numb aroma of the rattan pepper quickly penetrated into the fresh and tender fish.

The mountain god put the fish into his mouth, and his eyes widened instantly: "This...what is this taste?"

"It turns out that hot pot can still be eaten like this, and it turns out that fish can not only taste like fish, but also have so many rich flavors!" The mountain god's joy was beyond words, and he finished cooking a big fish.

The other fish floating on the river were not spared either, but no matter how big the mountain god's appetite was, he would still be full after eating all the fish and shrimp.

He burped, and finally drank all the soup made by Shen Yi, and then looked at the few people who were almost cooked just now: "Forget it, I'm full today, so I won't eat you. "

He wiped his mouth with a bunch of leaves, threw the branch in front of them, and raised his hand to throw them back into the river.

Shen Yi glanced down and happened to find something unusual in the leaves.

Among the large bunch of leaves, one of them is filled with densely packed verses, which is the third poem of "Yong Huai Ancient Site".

Before the mountain god threw a few people down, Shen Yi immediately hugged the tree branch that the mountain god had just thrown down, and then fell into the water.

The water temperature has returned to normal, as if the hot pot feast just now did not exist at all.

And the mountain god on the high place has completely disappeared, and the place where the human face appeared just now is completely covered by the dense forest.

Several people turned over and climbed onto Xiao Bailong's back in embarrassment. Wang Tianzhen said regretfully, "The fish hot pot just now smelled so good."

Lei Hu also said, "I'm a little hungry."

Unable to reach the shore, Shen also couldn't cook for them on the water, and the few people could only bear it for the time being.

Shen Yi took out the leaf with the poem from that branch, which happened to be the song "Yong Huai Ancient Site Part Three" on the Chinese document.

"So we're only two poems away from the end."

Wang Tianzhen curled his lips: "What I want most now is not to find poetry, but to find a place to eat."

Several people were frightened by the hot pot river water just now, but now they only feel that the cold river water is full of security.

But after a while, the few people who had experienced so many disasters on the water quickly discovered the abnormality: "This water... seems to be getting colder and colder?"

The water temperature has dropped by at least ten degrees.

Different from the hot water just now, the water on the river was very cold at this moment, and the limbs of several people were a little numb from the cold.

Wang Tianzhen wept with a sad face: "What are you doing in the world of ice and fire..."

Lei Hu dived into the water and turned around, his lips were purple when he climbed up, and described what he observed to several people: "It is estimated that only the section of the waterway just now was boiled, and the underwater fish, shrimp and aquatic plants here look very normal."

"I don't know why it suddenly became cold."

The further you swim, the lower the water temperature.

Several people huddled together on Jiang Yan's back, Wang Tianzhen looked at Su Chengwang enviously: "Brother, this fur is really frost-resistant."

Su Chengwang's lips trembled from the cold: "The hair is all wet, what's the use?"

The water flow on the river surface also became more and more stable until crystallized ice balls began to appear on the water surface.

There was a misty white ahead.

Jiang Yan turned into a human body, walked forward for a while, and tried it on the ice: "It's already frozen here."

The mountains on both sides of the river are still green, and willow branches can still be seen faintly blowing on the river bank, but the wind on the river is biting, and the feet are frozen.

On the bank is spring, in the river is winter.

This strange scene made several people completely dumbfounded.

it's too cold.

They climbed onto the ice one after another, and there was an endless ice road in front of them, and the shore seemed to be restricted as if they couldn't get close. Under the hunger and cold, they could only temporarily rest in place to keep warm.

"Can the system exchange weapons or food now?" Wang Tianzhen opened the system exchange interface and found that the options had become blank.

He sighed: "It happens to be a level that cannot be exchanged."

Shen Yi also tried to look at it. Just now, the ingredients can be exchanged at the mountain god, but now the system interface is blank, which proves that hunger and cold are the necessary elements for them to pass the level.

He could only wrap himself in the cassock which was not very warm.

Just when Jiang Yan didn't know how to open his mouth to take off his coat to Shen Yi, the ice surface under their feet suddenly began to shake.

The ice cube under Wang Tianzhen's feet was the first to crack. Before he could react, he had already half-ass fell into the water and got stuck on the ice cube with his feet upside down.

Before Shen Yi had time to laugh at him, the ice under his feet also shattered like weightlessness. Unlike what happened to Wang Tianzhen, he fell directly into the ice cave as a thin person.

Under the ice is the swiftly flowing river water.

Shen Yi didn't react at all, his nose and mouth were filled with cold water, and he was directly carried more than ten meters away by the biting river current.

Jiang Yan on the side reacted quickly, and plunged into the cave where Shen Yi fell, transformed into a nimble Youlong, and soon came to Shen Yi's side.

Shen Yi was almost dazed from choking, when he saw the familiar little white dragon swimming over, he hugged his neck without any hesitation.

The two went upstream, with the ice sealed above their heads, and they could only get out of the cave that had just been broken.

The water was so cold that Shen Yi couldn't open his eyes.

After finally waiting for the two to swim up the ice and be pulled up from the entrance of the cave, Shen Yi discovered that when Jiang Yan came out in the form of a white dragon, he was holding a fist-sized pearl in his mouth.

Jiang Yan turned into a human form and held the pearl in his hands. Only then did they see a few lines of small characters printed on the pearl.

"This is... the fourth song of "Song Huai Ancient Ruins"!" Shen Yi said in surprise, "Where did you find it?"

"Just floating in the water..."

As soon as the words fell, there was a rumbling tremor on the ice surface not far away. Something was hitting the ice layer desperately, as if it wanted to get out of the water.

Several people retreated again and again, for fear that the situation of falling into the ice cave just now would happen again.

And the giant that hit the ice over there finally surfaced.

Layers of ice shattered like spider webs, the ice cubes flew up to two meters high, and a giant river clam at least three to four meters wide jumped out of the water.

It opened the clam mouth, the clam meat inside was squirming, and it could also talk: "You stole my pearl!"

Shen Yi hurriedly hid the pearl Jiang Yan just brought back behind his back: "What pearl?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" The big river mussel opened and closed its shell, and quickly attacked several people, "Give me back the pearl!"

Under normal circumstances, when a normal human being sees such a large, talking and aggressive mussel, it will feel frightened, and either run away or scream.

But the five people in front of He Mu were extremely calm.

Even... there was a kind of hunger in his eyes.

Wang Tianzhen swallowed his saliva, staring at the fresh and soft mussel meat in the belly of the mussel: "Chef Shen, can you cook steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli?"

Shen Yi is also a little hungry: "This basic dish is very simple, and I can unlock more ways to eat it."

Big clam:? ? ?

Smart humans can always solve everything by eating.

Especially when several people are starving, hungry and cold, such a big and delicious-looking river clam, no matter how fierce the opponent is, they will not be afraid.

Jiang Yan began to discuss the attack method with Su Chengwang and Lei Hu: "You two grab its upper shell and lower shell respectively, and I will get the meat..."

He Mu stepped back in small steps, and began to discuss with a few people: "Well... don't be impulsive."

"I still have the clues you want."

The three of Jiang Yan are ready to start: "What clue?"

The clam cried and spat out another pearl from the clam meat: "Give it to you, give it to you! Don't eat me!"

The pearl rolled to the feet of several people, and while they were bending over to pick it up, the mussel quickly jumped into the water and escaped.

Wang Tianzhen said regretfully: "I can't eat scallops anymore."

"Completing the task is important." Shen Yi patted him on the shoulder, came to Jiang Yan's side, and saw that the pearl was written with the last poem belonging to Du Fu's "Five Poems on Ancient Sites".

The five poems are printed on the wooden board under the boat, on the fish scales, on the leaves and on two pearls.

The five clues belonging to "The Ancient Ruins of Yonghuai" were collected, and the ice under their feet melted rapidly, and the cruise ship that had disappeared long ago reappeared in front of them.

The boatman stopped rowing his oars, waved to them and said, "Guys, do you know which five poems they are?"

The five climbed onto the boat quickly and showed the five clues to the boatman.

The boatman looked into the distance and said longingly, "That is a poet named Du Fu..."

Standing beside the boatman, Li Bai was surprised to hear Du Fu's name: "Zimei?"

Lei Hu asked Shen Yi in a low voice: "Do Li Bai and Du Fu know each other?"

"Of course, they are still good friends who have given each other poems."

Li Bai is 11 years older than Du Fu. Du Fu was 32 and Li Bai was 43 when they first met.

Although the two had only met each other three times, Du Fu wrote more than ten poems to Li Bai. He deeply admired and loved this free and easy poetic elder brother.

However, not many poems that Li Bai gave back to Du Fu have been handed down today.

Perhaps it was because Du Fu was relatively young, and in the Tang Dynasty, few people wrote poems for the elders, or Du Fu did not share his collection of poems. In any case, Du Fu's friendship with Li Bai was undeniably profound.

He praised Li Bai for "the pen falls to shock the wind and rain, and the poem to weep ghosts and gods", "Everyone in the world wants to kill, but I only pity talents", "Li Bai fights wine with a hundred poems, and sleeps in a restaurant in Chang'an"...

Even in his later years, he often missed the joy of traveling with Li Bai and Gao Shi.

So... what about Li Bai and Du Fu?

Shen Yi quietly glanced at Li Bai who was looking towards the river. He was looking at the mountain stream in the distance, wondering what he was thinking.

It was already in Du Fu's later years to do "Song Huai Ancient Site".

At this time, he is lonely and sickly, it should be the time when he misses his friends the most, right?

"Everyone, Baidi City is coming!" The boatman pulled up to the shore, and there was an antique building on the hill not far away, which should be the favorite Baidi City of poets.

Li Bai, who had been clamoring to go back to Baidi City from the very beginning, looked sullen at this moment, not knowing what he was thinking.

Several people got off the boat with him.

There is a mountain path on the shore, which happens to lead to the high platform next to Baidi City, and a person can be vaguely seen standing on the high platform looking down the mountain.

Li Bai took the lead and quickly climbed up the path.

Shen Yi could barely keep up with his pace, when the few people behind were panting, Li Bai had already arrived on the stage.

The man stood leaning on a railing, his body was thin and haggard, he looked old, and his expression was lonely and sad, but his voice carried a heavy sense of tragedy:

"The wind gusted the sky and the high monkey wailed, and Nagisa Qingsha and the white bird flew back.

The endless fall of the trees, the endless Yangtze River rolling in.

Wandering With Melancholy, a century on stage alone and sick.

Difficulty, bitterness and hatred of frosty temples, desolation and new stale wine glass..."

"Climbing".

This poem was written by Du Fu in 767 AD. At that time, he was already in his twilight years, poor and sick, and forced to live in other places. He climbed up on the high platform outside Baidi City in Kuizhou and looked into the distance. This song "Climbing the High", known as the crown of the seven laws.

Li Bai was no longer alive at that time.

He stared blankly at Du Fu's back, his eyes were full of appreciation and joy, but also full of sadness and nostalgia: "Good poetry."

"It's a good poem I've never heard before." He murmured, and asked Shen Yi beside him, "Who is this?"

Shen Yi whispered, "It's Mr. Du Fu."

Li Bai's eyes widened in surprise, "It's... Zimei?"

Du Fu in front of him heard the voice behind him and slowly turned his head.

He didn't seem to see Li Bai, but looked at them curiously: "Who are you?"

Li Bai took a step forward: "Brother Zimei, it's me."

Du Fu couldn't see him at all.

He still stared at Shen Yi and the others, and asked again: "Who are you?"

Shen Yi looked at Du Fu with his aging face, and at Li Bai who was visibly younger beside him, and finally understood.

When Du Fu wrote the poem "Climbing the High", Li Bai was already dead.

So the Li Bai they met in the ghost world may be the lonely soul of Shi Xian.

No wonder the ghost king told him to remember to go back to the ghost world before leaving, no wonder... Du Fu couldn't see him at all.

Shen Yi felt a little regretful, bowed to Du Fu and said: "Mr. Du Fu, we master and apprentice are planning to go to the Eastern Land Tang to obtain real gold, and we got lost here..."

Du Fu lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Da Tang, this place is also the Great Tang, and the distant Chang'an is also the Great Tang, but...the Great Tang in my heart is gone."

Du Fu laughed at himself, took out a collection of poems from the bag beside him and handed it to Shen Yi: "I see some friends who are destined, so I will give you something."

It was a collection of handwritten poems, the first page was Li Bai's "The Difficult Road to Shu", and the next few were Du Fu's "Eight Poems of Autumn Prosperity" and "Yong Huai Ancient Site".

He took another small bottle of wine from his bag, and drank it alone while looking down at the mountain: "Whenever I drink, I think of Brother Taibai."

"He is the most free-spirited and carefree person, and his poems are as refreshing as wine." Du Fu looked into the distance and said softly, "You said you want to go to Tang Dynasty?"

"Actually, I may not have been back to that Tang Dynasty for a long time. I miss my hometown, hate this troubled world, and miss my best friends who used to be full of spirit..."

He turned around and shook the wine cup in his hand: "Speaking of which, this wine is the same as what I drank when Brother Taibai and I met for the first time."

"If I could meet Brother Taibai again..." Du Fu squinted his eyes, as if immersed in the good memories of the past, "In such a high-spirited era, he was so young and wanton..."

Li Bai couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward to grab the wine cup in his hand, and drank it all in one gulp: "I'm right in front of you!"

"Brother Zimei, you are never alone." Li Bai smiled very coolly, "You have wine as your companion, you have poetry as your companion, and you have this magnificent river and mountain as your companion, and I as your companion!"

After drinking a pot of wine, Du Fu stared blankly at Li Bai's direction. The person in front of him gradually changed from a phantom to reality, and Li Bai's appearance became clear in front of him.

He didn't dare to confirm it at first, but after a long time, a huge surprise burst out in his eyes: "Tai...Brother Taibai?"

Li Bai patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Did you see me?"

Talking and laughing at him: "Zimei, why are you so old?
