Chapter 90: Who's Posting

Xiao Yao found a company in Guangzhou and lived a daily commute to work. In Guangzhou, sometimes I feel very lonely and have no one to talk to. Xiao Yao began to miss those lonely ghosts, Xiuxiu, Bai Lan, and Bai He, I don't know where they are now, are they doing well? He remembered that Bai Lan had said that all these ghosts who came to him would eventually enter another world through this spirit spot on his forehead, what kind of world was this world, Xiao Yao wanted to take a look, Bai Lan also said that when the physical body disappeared, he would naturally go to that world.

Late at night, Xiao Yao dreamed of that ancient city again, and this was the third time. The walls of the ancient city are not high, so it can be confirmed that it is not Xi'an or Nanjing. From a distance, the city is faint, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and a clear river surrounds the city. There is a pavilion on the city wall, and on the pavilion there is an ancient woman statue made of white marble, with a beautiful and gentle appearance.

Xiao Yao wandered around the ancient city, trying his best to see the three words on the city gate, which were very vague. Then he heard a loud noise. This is the cleaner next to the rental house, who is always smashing the garbage bin at 6 o'clock in the morning. When Xiao Yao was dragged out of his sleep with a loud bang, he saw the three words on the city gate: Linhan Gate.

Xiao Yao checked on the Internet and found that this ancient city is called Xiangyang, in the northwest of Hubei, next to Henan, because Jin Yong's "Legend of the Condor Heroes" is famous all over the world. Xiangyang changed its name to Xiangfan after liberation, and later the local leaders went out to attract investment, and when they said it, everyone didn't know much, so they changed their name to Xiangyang in a fit of anger. It is said that after changing the name, it cost 20 million just to change the official seal.

Since he knew that this city was Xiangyang, Xiao Yao began to search for information related to this ancient city on the Internet, and slowly, he found himself in love with this city, as if he had lived there for many years before. A few days before the May Day holiday, Xiao Yao used his mobile phone to book a ticket to Xiangyang, first took the high-speed train to Wuhan, and then transferred to the train to Xiangyang in the station.

It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival, Xiao Yao asked for three days off in advance, and made up for a total of six days of the three-day long holiday of the Dragon Boat Festival. On this day, Xiao Yao stood at the foot of Lumen Mountain in Xiangyang, looking at the rice fields at the foot of the mountain, and the Han River not far away, feeling like a dream. Before he came, he checked it carefully and became very interested in Lumen Mountain.

It is said that the Tang Dynasty poet Meng Haoran once lived in seclusion here, and his most famous poem is the poem "Spring Dawn". Lao Meng's most famous thing is that when he went to the capital to catch the exam, he went to his hometown Wang Wei's house to play, and when he was chanting poems in the hometown of drunken dreams, Tang Ming Emperor Li Longji came to visit, and he was so frightened that he slipped under the drilling machine. Then he also wrote a poem that pretended to be forced, which made the emperor Lao'er very unhappy and let him go home to play.

Overall, Meng Haoran is a poet with a very sad fate. He later wrote a poem to Zhang Jiuling, the prime minister of the dynasty, hoping to get his recommendation, but the old Zhang was stunned and pretended not to understand, one of which was "I want to help without a boat, I am ashamed of the saints, sit and watch the anglers, and there is no envy of the fish." It expresses his yearning for a career.

Of course, you can say that it is fortunate that they did not become officials, otherwise there would not be so many beautiful and precious poems in the world, but the circumstances of his life can be said to be extremely bleak.

After Lao Meng couldn't get a job, he returned to his hometown and got drunk in the wine country, and gave birth to two sons who were fools, which naturally had a great deal to do with his alcoholism. It can be said that Lao Meng poured a lifetime of sorrow with wine. Thinking of this, Xiao Yao's heart jumped, could it be that his trip to Xiangyang was related to Meng Haoran's classmate?
