Chapter 50 Liyuan Yuefu

Early the next morning, the first rays of sunlight on Jiang Xinzhou passed through the straw curtain of the thatched house, shining warmly on the lotus leaf hammock, I rubbed my eyes and got up, Jiang He swept his sleeves, and those lotus leaf hammocks became smaller and were sucked into Jiang He's sleeves, and I was dumbfounded. The eight poetry brothers had already woken up, sat down and waited for the meal, Jiang Li and Jiang He brought me and Suzaku a plate of steaming hot water, we washed up, and after breakfast, I, Suzaku, Youyou, Li Bai, and Yue Fei decided to go around the neighborhood, Jiang Li led the way, the road was foggy, the flowers in the forest were budding to be released, the dew was dignified, and the sun shone through the mist into the tree-lined path.

"Xiaoli, what's that in the air in front of you? Is that an island?" I exclaimed, pointing to a floating island in the air not far ahead, and everyone looked over in amazement.

"Master, I'll fly over and have a look. With that, a glide flew straight over.

"Oh, be careful!" I reached out to grab Yoyo and tell him, but before I could finish speaking, Yoyo had already flown over.

"Sir, this island flew from Huangshan during the Great War of Immortals and Demons 8,000 years ago, and the ancestor named it Xianyuan Island. Jiang Li looked at everyone and smiled.

"Xianyuan Island?hehe, this name sounds so kind. I glanced at Suzaku, looked at her and smiled, and thought, "My son's name is Liu Xianyuan, what a fate." ”

"Prince, the immortal family mostly lives in seclusion for pleasure and cultivates for business, it seems that this fairy island is destined for us, we have to go!" Li Bai raised his big cyan tail and smiled.

"Prince, what the Qinglian monk said is very true! This floating island is a bit interesting, let's go up and take a look, about the battle of immortals and demons eight thousand years ago, maybe there is something to be gained!" Yue Fei trembled his red curly hair, and his words were full of excitement and curiosity.

"Xiao Li, I also have this intention, I don't know if I can go up and have a look?" I looked at Li Bai and Yue Fei, made a look, looked at Jiang Li and smiled.

"You can go up and have a look, it's just ......" Jiang Li looked at us a little and said a little, as if there was something unspeakable.

"Just what? Xiao Li, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't hide anything. I patted Jiang Li on the shoulder and smiled.

"It's just that this island is sealed with the mounts of the city, and occasionally there will be some terrifying roars, I hope you don't be scared, especially girls. Jiang Li looked at Suzaku and whispered back.

"Hehe, yes, I like to fight monsters the most. Tell me, what kind of monster is that?" the corners of Suzaku's mouth rose and he joked with Xiao Li.

"Actually, I've never seen that monster either. The monster is sealed in Xianyuan Island, and we won't fight, but occasionally its heart-rending roar makes people tremble and creepy. Since Sister Suzaku is not afraid, then let's take you to climb up this ropeway with the roots. Jiang Li said and grabbed a big tree root full of small whiskers and began to climb up, turning back as he climbed, "You guys grasp the root with both hands, follow me to climb up, don't look down below." Count from one to three hundred, and then to three hundred, and we climbed up. ”

"Oh, okay!" I replied and climbed up, all the way was foggy and hazy, I couldn't see it clearly, I began to count, "One, two, three......"

Suzaku, Li Bai, and Yue Fei also climbed up in turn. "Is everybody keeping up?!" I yelled when I was halfway up to one hundred and fifteen, fearing that someone would be left behind.

"Prince, I'm here!", "Keep up!" Li Bai and Yue Fei responded one after another, but I didn't hear Suzaku's voice, I felt strange, and became more and more worried, I shouted, "Dabao, are you there? Dabao ......" There was still no response, and there was a white fog all around, I began to get nervous, and prayed in my heart that Suzaku would never have an accident.

"Prince, let's climb up and talk about it. Otherwise, we will all hang in the air, too tired!" Yue Fei responded.

"Okay!" I quickly grasped the roots of the tree, accelerated the counting, accelerated to climb up, and when I counted to three hundred, I saw a piece of land, the land was surrounded by cliffs, Suzaku, Jiang Li and Youyou were standing there waiting for us, I stepped on Xianyuan Island, my heart was still pounding, I ran over and hugged Suzaku tightly and said, "Dabao, fortunately, you are fine." I didn't hear you back while I was climbing, and it scared me to death. I'm relieved if you're okay!"

"Hehe, fool, you forgot that I am a feather clan, I can fly. I'm fine. Suzaku hugged me, patted me on the back and smiled softly.

"Hmm. I slowly let go of the Suzaku and looked back at Xianyuan Island.

There are many magical and strange huge trees growing on Xianyuan Island, and the largest giant tree has a huge wooden house between the canopy, and melodious music comes out of the canopy, which makes people stop. The tree is full of red round fruits, the tree is full of green herbs like Jiang Xinzhou, the vanilla is full of rainbow-colored periwinkles and light blue fluorescent phalaenopsis orchids, the petals of those phalaenopsis orchids under the sun fly from the leaf stalk to the air and become butterflies, bathed in the sun and fragrance, dancing, swinging their tails leisurely, spitting bubbles in their mouths, chasing those butterflies to play, there are a few butterflies around Li Bai, Yue Fei two big lions flying, let Li Bai, Yue Fei was so envious, and there were also butterflies perched quietly on the shoulders of the Vermilion Bird, so that the Suzaku couldn't bear to turn his head and look down for fear of disturbing them.

"Xiao Li, this suspended island is so beautiful! I'm a little curious, why is this island called Xianyuan Island?" I walked under the ancient tree full of red fruits, picked a few red fruits and threw them to the Vermilion Bird, looked around and smiled.

"Mr. didn't know, 8,000 years ago, when the dragon god and Liancheng were fighting, the minions of Liancheng in order to destroy all the good things in the world, but also set fire to the world's Yuefu, wantonly destroyed the beauty of the music that affected people's hearts, seeing that the world Yuefu Cave was about to be destroyed, Long Shenao collected the last batch of Yuefu classics, treasured them, and hid them in the tree house, so as to retain this last beautiful music for mankind. My master Qu Tianji has also been following the line, traveling with immortals, teaching the law of music and rhythm, and taking care of and inheriting the Yuefu poetry collection, waiting for the revival of the world. Xianyuan Island is a place where the fairy family will gather friends and drum music, and only those who have a fairy fate can meet, and Mr. Xiang is a person who is destined. Jiang Li came to the big tree, held the ladder leading to the canopy wooden house, and looked at me and talked eloquently.

"The ancient Yuefu, it's still there, let's go, take me up and take a look!" I was excited, and Suzaku, Youyou, Li Bai, and Yue Fei also gathered curiously when they heard the word "Yuefu".

"Sir, it's okay to go up to the cabin. But there is one thing that everyone should keep in mind, don't be afraid or panic when you go into the cabin. Our Herb Valley is the last paradise in the world, here is not only the fairy island, but also the immortals of the three realms for thousands of years. Jiang Li whispered.

"Understood, listen to you. Haha, I've traveled north and south, traveling around Kyushu, what strange things have I never seen?" I laughed.

"Hehe, I know, it's so mysterious, what I said makes my heart itch!" Yue Fei said with a smile.

"Yes, look at the two lions on my side, and there is a big fish on them, haha, it's mysterious enough! What could be more strange?" I patted Li Bai and Yue Fei on the back and smiled, Li Bai and Yue Fei took the opportunity to put on a funny grimace together, which made Jiang Li cry and laugh for a while.

"Hehe, too. "Anyway, Jiang Li took me and Li Bai and Yue Fei to climb up the ladder, Youyou and Suzaku spread their wings and flew up, the outside of the wooden house was full of green creepers, and a rainbow-colored plaque was hung on the main entrance of the wooden house, with four big characters of "Liyuan Yuefu" written on it, and the edge of the plaque was wrapped by various flowers and plants, and the whole wooden house was full of vitality and romantic dreams. Jiang Li pushed open the wooden door of the wooden house, and everyone was stunned.

On the edge of the high stage in the wooden house, there are the bells of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the chimes, the bells of the Qin Dynasty, the vivid and vivid figurines of the Han Dynasty, which are in good order; the four walls of the wooden house are hung with exquisite murals of Tang music and dance, flying in the sky, beautiful, feasting and singing, and there are some gorgeous and magnificent gold and silver wares, simple and elegant ceramics that reflect the music and dance scenes. In the center of the stage, there are many immortals who are playing, singing, playing music and dancing, there are leopards playing, bears dancing, white tigers playing, and dragons blowing pipes. On the stage sat and sang Empress E and Nuying, their singing voices were extremely beautiful and beautiful, and the conductor with the baton was Hong Ya, who was wearing a beautiful costume made of feathers. Immersing yourself in it, it is as if you are walking between the gorgeous, elegant, and simple ancient artworks, as if you are immersed in a magnificent and magnificent immortal movement that has resounded for thousands of years. The prehistoric Xun sound is simple and melodious, the bell chime of the Western Zhou Dynasty is golden and the sound is jade, the Qin and Han dynasties are singing and dancing, the Wei and Jin dynasties and the Northern and Southern Dynasties are loud and bright, the Sui and Tang dynasties are full of voices, and the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties are passionate, gathering into a mighty and rushing river of music and dance, reproducing the magnificent Silk Road scene. The song became more and more melodious and tactful, the dance became more and more hearty, a few white clouds fluttered outside the window of the wooden house, and then the snow gradually fell outside the wooden house, accompanied by thunder, and the wind and rain were coming.

"Xianggong, what a spectacular performance! This Xianban performance is really extraordinary, wonderful! Huh? Xianggong, look, who is the person holding the baton? His clothes are like our Yu clan. Suzaku asked in a low voice as he tugged at my sleeve.

"His name is Hong Ya, he is the Yellow Emperor's music palace, a great musician here, I heard that this person has a lonely and arrogant personality, which is not ordinary. I whispered back.

Li Bai was completely intoxicated by the furnishings of the wooden house, slowly swinging its big cyan tail, and couldn't help but say: "Those who live with heaven and earth are also the rebels of all things, and those who are timeless are also passers-by of a hundred generations." And floating life is like a dream, for the joy of geometry. ”

"Brother Shi, what did you find?" I asked as I looked at Li Bai in surprise.

"Prince, this is the pear orchard in Yuefu, and the song they are playing and singing now is still what I wrote for Li Longji back then. Li Bai rubbed his nose with his finger and smiled proudly.

"Oh, Qinglian monk, you Liyuan Yuefu, let's hear it. Yue Fei leaned over.

"It is said that on the streets of ancient Chang'an, the bustling crowds, the craftsmen who are selling, the arabesque flowers, everything looks like a dream. Liyuan Opera is based on Nanyin as the parent music, accompanied by pipa and dong flute, and conducted by Nangu. Our emperor, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, was a versatile man who loved music. A minister told him that when the Song Dynasty built the wall of the martial arts training ground in the Spring and Autumn Period, he invited singers to sing the story of improving labor efficiency. Tang Xuanzong wanted music to play a greater role, so he established the music school Liyuan, served as the principal himself, and often asked famous literati at that time to be part-time screenwriters, such as me, and my poet brother He Zhizhang and others have written programs for Liyuan. Li Bai flicked his tail, raised his head and chest, and said with great interest.

"I've also heard that Li Longji is indeed a musical genius, and he often goes to Liyuan to conduct musicians in rehearsals and point out the mistakes of the performers in a timely manner. He's a good teacher!" I laughed.

"Hehe, it seems that everyone is a bosom friend in the music and rhythm world!Come on, come on!Please take a seat!" Jiang Li said with a smile, while guiding us to the banquet to sit down to drink tea and listen to music, the strange thing is that there are handles firmly fixed on the ground on both sides of the mat and the couch, and both hands can be reached in and held. After everyone was seated, Jiang Li took out a jade pen from his sleeve and clicked on a few fairies in the painting, and soon they walked out of the painting with bright skin, and brought out teapots, tea bowls and refreshments in front of us. Gradually, the whole mural came out and danced, and those fairies sang and performed the ancient scores, "Shujian Dance", "Caiwei Dance", "Jade Man Dance", "Feather Dance", "Ni Dress Feather Dance" with water sleeves and high songs, which made people overwhelmed. The leopard bear is still dancing, the white tiger is still playing, and the dragon is still blowing, forgetting his feelings and forgetting himself. Several musicians quickly gathered on the stage, several of them sat around playing gonghou, pipa, transverse flute and other musical instruments, and a woman stood in the middle and sang loudly. The chimes are high-pitched, the bass is deep, and the eight tones are harmonious, and the whole wooden house echoes the ancient rhyme of time and space. We sat on the couch while enjoying the singing and dancing, while tasting the refreshments, delicious and happy, while nodding and praising again and again, breathtaking.

Li Bai stood up, rolled up the wine glass with his tail and drank it all, the fairy poured wine for it again, and after drinking a few more glasses, Li Bai was very prosperous, singing and singing its song "Will Enter the Wine":

You don't see the water of the Yellow River coming up from the sky, rushing to the sea and never returning.

You don't see the sad white hair of Gao Tang Mingjing, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk.

Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon.

I am born to be useful, and my daughter will come back when I am gone.

Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle for pleasure will require 300 cups of drink.

Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng, will enter the wine, and the cup will not stop.

Sing a song with you, please listen to it for me.

The bells and drums are not expensive enough, but I hope that I will not wake up after being drunk for a long time.

The ancient sages were all lonely, and only the drinker left his name.

In the past, King Chen feasted peacefully, and fought wine for ten thousand years.

What is the owner's words, he has to sell the right gentleman.

Five-flowered horses, daughters and daughters, Hu'er will exchange for fine wine, and sell eternal sorrow with you.

Singing and singing, Li Bai was a little excited, pulled Yue Fei up and danced together, two lions with their heads scattered, with wine glasses tied to their tails, dancing with great interest, in the beautiful music and intoxicating dance steps, they seemed to have returned to that glorious era of their own, and they forgot to be happy. Jumping and jumping, the elated Yue Fei erected the hair all over his body, his blood was full of blood, and he sang his "Man Jianghong" impassionedly:

Angry hair rushed to the crown, relying on the place, Xiaoxiao rain rest. Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, and be fierce. Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. Don't wait, the young man's head is white, empty and sad.

Jing Kang is ashamed, but it is still snowing, and the courtiers hate, when will it be destroyed. Drive a long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain. Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood. To start from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky.

Yoyo ate on the couch with his belly open, and the gills of the fish were slightly red, presumably drunk. I patted Suzaku on the shoulder, looked at Yoyo, and smiled. Suzaku said with a smile: "Xianggong, this is worthy of Liyuan Yuefu, I still like the song "Ni Dress and Feather Song" the most, and I like the eternal love between Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan." Suzaku spoke, gradually feeling a little sad.

"Dabao, I like this song too. Let me tell you the story of "The Song of the Feathers". I hugged Suzaku and smiled with my eyes slightly closed.

"Hmm, Xianggong, you say!" Suzaku said as he held his chin in his hands and looked at me with interest.

According to legend, Xuanzong sleepwalked in the Moon Palace, the music played by the immortals for him was very bright and clear, Xuanzong was afraid to forget when he sat in the court, so he put the jade flute in his arms, and touched it up and down with his hands, not that he was unwell, and he still did not forget to practice playing when he was in the court. Li Longji later wrote down this song and told it to his bosom friend Yang Yuhuan, who absorbed the essence and improved it, which is the famous Tang Dynasty dance in history - Ni Dress and Feather Dance. became famous as soon as it danced, and it became the national dance of the Tang Dynasty for a while, spreading all over the world, just like the love between Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan. I said slowly, immersed myself.

When everyone was hearty, suddenly Xianyuan Island shook the mountains, everyone staggered, and the fruit plates and refreshments on the couch rolled to the ground, a mess. From the center of Xianyuan Island, there was a short roar of "Boom, Boom, Boom......", like a wolf howling, the voice was sometimes hoarse and dull, sometimes heartbreaking, and people panicked when they heard it. "That monster has woken up again! Everyone, hold on to the handle in the banquet room and beside the couch, and be careful of falling!" Jiang Li said and held the handle in the banquet room, and everyone grabbed the handle one after another, and the rickety wooden house at that moment was as uneasy as swinging at a height of thousands of meters.

"This thing is too arrogant!Yoyo, fly! We're going to meet this monster!" I rode out of the window of the hut and stopped in mid-air. I was engrossed, concentrated, exerting all my strength, clasping my hands together, and chanting:

Outside the Yumen Pass, Helan Mountain,

The west wind is sad, and the yellow sand is bloodthirsty.

The wind and sand are high, and the bonfire is growing,

Ten thousand flags are the same, and the grassland is dominant.

The Huns are strong, the Khan is a horse,

Populus euphratica is on the edge, and the yurt is off-road.

The desert moved south, Jin Ge was extinguished,

Flying arrows are all over the sky, and the bones are feasting.

The wolf travels in Henan, explores the Han cave,

The beacon is in flames, and the sunset is like a sunset.

Rolling yellow sand, battle flag hunting,

Ban horses neighed, and heroes wept blood.

The southern conquest and the northern war, a horse and a flat river,

Under the banner of the wind horse, the triumphant song should be in the sky.

The spring breeze blows the willows, Wu Nong whispers softly,

In a corner of peace, it fell with a snap of a finger.

The walls were broken, burned and plundered,

The four fields are poisonous, and the bones are smoking.

Complaining, the virus is raging,

The rotting fireflies are tired, and the roe deer vultures multiply.

The west wind is cold, and the wives are scattered,

Su Wu shepherds, and the withered grass stretches the edge.

The world in the pupil, the city is torn,

The remnant sun is like blood, and the cold wind is like iron.

Feng Wolf Juxu, Hero Jiuquan,

Jingkang is difficult to peace, and the river is full of red throat.

Bingbing History, Scrolling Yellow Pages,

The war book is cloudy, and the country is destroyed.

Expand the territory, happiness is the thought,

Fast horses are like lightning, and tribute is like a bird.

Tianshan Snow Lotus, Inner Mongolia Chicken Blood,

Hetian Yujue, Jiangnan graceful.

Wine is like blood, beautiful women warm the temple,

The west wind is one night, and the spring breeze is several years.

Billowing wolf smoke, the Great Wall bleak,

Rise and fall from generation to generation, life and death.

The grass is glorious and withered, and the iron-blooded steel whip,

The goshawk circles, and Ao Bao sacrifices to the sky.

The soul of the dead sleeps,

The world is unified, and spring is emerging.

The west wind is strong, the mare's milk wine is fresh,

The sun and the moon are like shuttles, and the horse's hooves are like swords.

Genghis Khan, drifting with the wind,

The sun sets over the long river, and the cattle and sheep do not speak.

The bow is full of moon, and the galaxy is split,

The wind and drizzle, the eternal joy.

Hunting the west wind, crisscrossing and closing,

Huaxia Qiankun, a classic of the Warring States period.

In an instant, the dark clouds over Xianyuan Island covered the sun, lightning and thunder, the wind was raging, a huge storm ball descended from the air, the storm suddenly rose in all directions, the beacon fire was transmitted, the war drums were thundering, the wind and sand were rising, the sand and gravel were rolling, the zebra was neighing, and thousands of Mongolian iron horsemen were holding the immortal flag, the wind horse flag, wielding scimitars and halberds, running, shouting, roaring, and preparing for a charge, and the jade was burned.

It's strange to say, under the lightning and thunder, as soon as my storm ball came, the monster stopped screaming, and Xianyuan Island suddenly calmed down. When I was surprised and puzzled, a group of glowing bats flew out of the crypt of the island, led by a fiery red blood crow, which flew around me three times, posing in front of me with the word "master"; a moment later, they flew out of Xianyuan Island with a burst of cheers, and everyone looked at me in amazement, and I was puzzled, and suddenly the words of the red dragon in the past flashed in my mind, and I thought, "Am I really the descendant of the city", and my heart began to worry.

"Not good! These bats and yaksha and blood crows are all messengers of believers in the city, they have not woken up for thousands of years, this time out of the nest, there must be some disaster to happen, I want to inform the master quickly!" Jiang Li stood at the door and saw the bat flying out, and quickly ran down the ladder and said nervously.

Jiang Li hurriedly took out a lotus leaf from his sleeve, took off a hairpin from his hair, wrote a few words, blew lightly, and threw the lotus leaf into the wind, and the lotus leaf was blown into the distance along the wind.

"Xiaoli, are you alright?" I wondered.

"Sir, I just sent an alarm message to the master through hyacinths, and the master will fly back with a crane when he receives the message in the wind. Let's hurry back to the thatched hut, and I'm going to discuss defensive measures with Jiang He, just in case. The master said that as soon as the bat yaksha comes out of the nest, the city will be almost here. Jiang Li looked at us and said nervously. Everyone was puzzled, but they still listened to Jiang Li's departure from Xianyuan Island in turn and returned to the thatched house of Jiangxinzhou. The mysterious monsters on Xianyuan Island, the bats flying out with glowing green light, and Jiang Li's nervous expression all made everyone wonder, but what would happen.
