Chapter 3 Fear of ghosts and poets
There are many ghosts and ghosts in the dark clouds, and there are many ghosts and ghosts!
ββ"The Picture of the Ghost Moving Home"
Seeing that the bed and bedding had been cleaned up and everything was ready, the Taoist said goodbye with a smile: "I should have asked the monk and the temple to entertain the two, but it was getting late, and I was the only one in the palace who had not yet slept, so please rest for the night, and then introduce other elders in the palace to the two after dawn tomorrow." β
"There's a long way to go."
Meng Ke got up with a smile and sent the Taoist to the door with Li Taibai.
Under the moon, looking at the back of the departing Daoist, Meng Ke suddenly spoke: "Brother Taibai, can you believe that there is really an immortal family in this world?" β
Why don't you believe it? Not to mention that I have entered the Taoist family and taught the Taoist. Some time ago, when I was drunk, I saw a real fairy with my own eyes! β
Li Taibai stood with his hands in his hands, looked at the Jade Emperor Terrace sprinkled by the moonlight, and said leisurely.
Although he did not really cultivate into an immortal family, he had also seen the outstanding demeanor of many Taoist masters, and was accustomed to seeing all kinds of wonders.
The scene that day made him feel that the real people he had seen in the past, the feather coat and the like, were not enough.
"Oh? Which immortal family member can be so praised by the Taoist leader? β
Meng Ke knew that he was talking about himself, but he smiled and pretended not to know.
"I feasted with my friends that day......"
When Li Taibai heard this, he began to say slowly: "...... I am about to go to Wu Yue Tianmu Mountain on this trip, if Brother Meng intends to visit the immortals, it is better to go with me. β
"I don't dare to ask for ears."
After hearing this, Meng Ke happily promised: "There are many treacherous things along the way, you and I go together, if you meet an accident, it will be considered ......."
Let's go to Huangquan!
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Taibai: "My Tang Dynasty is quite peaceful in the world, why is it treacherous?" β
"There must be yin and yang, there is the power of immortals, and naturally there are ghosts. Brother Taibai, are you afraid? β
Meng could see him like this, and joked.
"What are you afraid of, I studied under the sword saint Pei Min, a green jade staff can sweep away the evils, how can I be frightened by them."
Li Taibai's eyes flickered, and his face began to change the topic unnaturally: "It's not too early, tomorrow I have to visit the elders in the palace, go to bed early, go to bed early." β
With that, he turned around and walked into the wing.
Tut-tut, I didn't expect that the dignified poet was still afraid of ghosts?
Meng Ke smiled secretly in his heart and rubbed his hands, followed Li Taibai into the house, and closed the door intimately.
'This is cheap, I must commit it!' β
Lying on the bed, Li Taibai, who was full of exhaustion, soon fell into a half-dream and half-awake.
"Brother Taibai, Brother Taibai, have you slept? Wake up, get up and enjoy the poetry! β
Meng Ke gently shook Li Taibai and shouted.
Li Bai opened his eyes in a daze: "Brother Meng, I'm really tired tonight, can I change the day?" β
With that, he closed his eyes again and fell asleep.
β...... Well, it's a pity that a good pot of wine has no character. β
Meng Ke sighed, and was about to blow out the candle flame on the table when a hand reached out from behind and blocked his mouth.
"Bring the wineβ"
Li Taibai rubbed his sleepy eyes and said something indistinctly.
"Enjoy the poems first!"
"Okay, enjoy the poems first!"
To drive a car, you need a barrel of oil for 100 kilometers.
And to drive a world-famous poet, only one jar of wine is needed for 100 kilometers.
"Brother Taibai, listen up: fine grass and empty forests, the slightest cold rain to save the wind. Thin and lonely soul, accompanied by personal defecation. Lonely Quantai, call all over tonight. Hazy, a line of ghost lights, revealing a peach blossom face. β
At first glance, this poem only sounds like a narrative, but when I think about it carefully, I find that there is something strange and absurd hidden in it.
Li Taibai sat on the chair in the side room, sleepless, his hands on his cheeks in contemplation, and his face changed again and again.
"Brother Taibai, remember, in the wilderness, alone, don't talk to some unknown people!"
Well? Someone who popped up out of nowhere, unidentified person......
Li Taibai raised his head suddenly, and seemed to see Meng Ke, who was dressed in white and shengxue, under the light of the candlelight, his smiling face looked a little weird.
The Meng brother in front of him seems to be the way he appears as described in the words, and the jade pot containing wine seems to have appeared out of thin air......
"...... this?"
Li Taibai's eyelids jumped wildly, and various ghost legends kept appearing in his mind.
Meng Ke looked at him as if he had been struck by lightning, and nodded with a smile.
The vulgar bad taste is a success.
"Brother Taibai, go to bed!"
Ignoring Li Taibai's reaction, Meng Ke patted him on the shoulder and went straight to the bed.
Feeling the touch on his shoulder, Li Taibai breathed a deep sigh of relief.
It's a real person......
I thought it was a ghost......
Li Taibai's forehead was already covered with dense beads of sweat, one after another, sliding down his sideburns and dripping on his collar.
Seeing that Meng Ke seemed to be fine, he wiped his cold sweat and asked:
"Brother Meng doesn't believe in ghosts and gods?"
Meng Ke shook his head: "The theory of ghosts and gods is very ethereal, we have to believe in science." β
"Science? What? β
"This is called a long story, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will talk to Brother Taibai in detail. It's getting late today, so let's rest early. β
Meng Ke said, then pulled the futon over his body, looking like he was going to sleep.
This familiar scene, Zhang Jun and Yue Fei praised it, and Zhang Huaimin said that he was very kind.
β¦β¦
The next morning, it was bright and the sun was shining through the window on the bed.
"Hmm......"
Meng Ke slowly opened his eyes and withdrew from the convincing concentration.
On the other side of the bed, Li Bai, who had just fallen asleep in the early morning, was still sleeping soundly at the moment.
Meng Ke gently stepped off the bed and waved his hand to take out a pot of monkey wine from his sleeve robe.
The refreshing aroma of wine overflowed, Li Bai sniffed, couldn't help but take a few more sips, and he was still asleep and muttered in a low voice: "Good wine!" β
"Brother Taibai, listen to the song? Wine and beauty together, come quickly! β
Meng Ke attached himself to his ear and reminded softly.
"Come on! Here it is! β
Li Bai suddenly woke up from his deep sleep.
He opened his eyes reluctantly, only to feel the white shadow in front of him shaking, and subconsciously reached out to grab the other party, but unfortunately he caught it.
I can only look around blankly:
"Huh? Why is it gone? β
"Hahahaha!"
But seeing that Meng Ke was already standing a few meters away, he laughed, "Brother Taibai, hurry up, the Taoist chief is about to come and call us for dinner." β
"Brother Meng, you made me so miserable last night!"
Li Bai wailed and hurriedly got up from the bed.
"Don't speak ambiguously and provoke people's reverie, if you are heard, my reputation in my life will be ruined."
Meng Ke straightened his face and said angrily.
"Brother Meng, you ......"
Li Taibai was speechless for a while, so he could only touch the bridge of his nose stupidly.
Meng Ke laughed and turned to leave: "Brother Taibai, let's go." β
The two went out and came to the main hall of Taiqing Palace, where last night's Taoist had already greeted him with an old man wearing a true Taoist robe.
"Qinglian Daoyou, Meng Jushi, this is the family teacher."
The Taoist arched his hand and introduced the old man beside him to the two.
"The younger generation has seen the elders."
The two of them bowed.
"It's okay."
After returning the salute, the old Taoist looked the two up and down, and his face was full of appreciation: "The two are really dragons among men." In the early years, I talked with Sima Chengzhen Taoist (Shangqing Maoshan Patriarch) and knew that Qinglian lay people were extraordinary, and today I saw that there was indeed a 'fairy root'. However, this Meng Jushi has an extraordinary temperament, a light and spiritual aura, delicate and elegant, and somewhat similar to the old way. β
Is there such a boast of a boaster? Similar to yourself?
Meng Ke's heart moved slightly, and he looked at it with his 'wise eyes', and saw that Lao Dao was surrounded by a circle of blue clouds and mist, and his temperament was elegant and refined, and he was actually a real person who had attained the Tao with cultivation.
Sensing Meng Ke's peeping, the real person also turned his head to look at it, and smiled in return.
"Meng Jushi has good eyesight."
"The Taoist is also good."
Meng Ke replied with a smile.
This old man's strength is far above his own, and he is worthy of being a figure who cultivates on the top of the Jade Emperor.
"Master, what are you talking about?"
The inquiring eyes of the Taoist and Li Taibai fell on the two of them, and the old man smiled slightly: "The old Taoist said, Meng Jushi's immortal wealth is extraordinary, if he enters my Dao Gate, he will definitely become an immortal in the future." β
Hearing this, the Taoist was slightly jealous, "Master, you haven't praised me like this yet!" β
"You are a stubborn man, and you are still jealous like Fang Xuanling's wife?"
The old man snorted softly.
"How dare I!"
The Taoist shrank his neck and shook his head again and again.
It caused a burst of laughter from everyone.
Meng could see that this Daoist didn't seem to be able to discover his identity as a qi refiner, and was secretly surprised.
Then he turned his eyes to look, but found that there was no trace of cultivation on this Daoist, just an ordinary person with a little aura.
pinching his fingers, he was even more curious.
"Strange, this Dao's immortal fate is not low, and his qualifications are much better than mine, why haven't they set foot on the immortal road at such an age? β
'The old man looks peaceful, he is a true person, and he shouldn't leave a hand on his apprentice! β
Meng Ke couldn't directly inquire about other people's teachers, so he had to think secretly in his heart.
"Please follow the old Tao to eat, the Taoist temple is a place of pure cultivation, the meals are all clear soup and little water, please don't dislike it."
The old man pulled the apprentice and let him lead the way, while he smiled politely.
"Why should the old man be polite? When I climbed the mountain yesterday, I only had a stomach full of sour and astringent wild fruits, but now I know that I have enough to eat. β
Li Taibai spoke first.
He is not like Meng Ke who can eat and drink and breathe in convincing, he is already hungry at the moment, and as soon as he wakes up in the morning, his stomach is rumbling.
If it weren't for Shixian's demeanor and face, I would have wanted to pay the Taoist to help find some food last night.
It turns out that the old man really didn't talk to him politely.
How high is the Jade Emperor's top? How risky? It is extremely inconvenient to transport up and down the mountain, except for the staple food of rice and flour, a little oil and salt, other seasonal vegetables are planted in the half acre of fertile land behind the mountain.
Breakfast is really a bowl of gruel and a plate of pickles, and Li Taibai is eyes twitched, and his appetite was completely gone.
Meng Ke didn't care about these, he had eaten them all. At this moment, he is gulping porridge and chewing pickles, just like back then.
Porridge is still porridge, and the person who drinks porridge is still the same person, but unfortunately the person sitting next to him is no longer the childish child he was back then.
He drank porridge and felt a little sad in his heart.
In line with the 'law of mood shifting', Meng Ke decided to transfer his unhappiness to Li Taibai's head.
"Brother Taibai, eat!"
A large number of pickles fell into Li Taibai's bowl, "You need to know that farmers are not easy, every grain is fortunate, don't waste it." β
glanced at the unmoved porridge, and then at Meng Ke, who was smiling brightly [Devil's Smile .jpg] beside him, Li Taibai finally picked up the fast seed, put the porridge and pickles into his stomach, chewed and swallowed it, nodded again and again, and praised it again and again with a bitter face.
