Yin 'room ghost fire.' Spring 'courtyard is dark, Niu Ji is the same soap.' The chickens 'perched on the phoenix and ate the phoenix' at one time, and once they were 'mist' and 'dew', and they were divided into barren ditches. Yin and Yang can't be thieves. Looking up at the floating clouds and white, I am worried, the sky is extreme, the philosopher's day is far away, the punishment is in the past, the wind eaves exhibition and reading, and the ancient road shines on the face."
Wang Xiyuan sat in a sedan chair and chanted poems all the way.

Da Kui was riding on a horse and heard Wang Xiyuanyong's poems, which were mostly impassioned and aroused, and he couldn't help but sigh a little." This is not yet the ground, but this lord first recites some strong and "passionate" poems to strengthen his courage. Think about Da Kui is funny.If reciting some clichés works.Why bother the Ming soldiers to fight on the battlefield.Just take a group of Xiucai to retreat from the enemy with poetry.
Anyway, there is nothing to do, Da Kui was also teased by Wang Xiyuan about the poem's 'sex', but he can't think of a complete poem, although Da Kui is not able to read and write, but he is still quite quick-witted, he can't read poems, but he can change poems, and after a while, Da Kui immediately shouted 'groan' and said: "Li Bai didn't give money in the boat, the boatman kicked off the boat, the peach 'flower' beach was a thousand feet deep, I don't know if Li Bai died."
This poem immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter, as if the pain of running all the way to the 'waves' has also become much lighter. Wang Xiyuan sat in the soft sedan chair and not only shook his head secretly, but also muttered in his mouth: "Hey, the words are rude, and it is insulting."
Da Kui doesn't care what Sven is, just enjoy himself, ride a horse and walk in front of the team, and sing "eighteen" touch "''.
Traveling to more than two months, has entered the Jiangxi boundary, through Guangxin Mansion, Fuzhou Mansion, Qing'an Mansion, Chenzhou Mansion, Yongzhou Mansion, and then to the west is Guilin, Shang and Zhou Dynasty, Guilin has close contacts with the Central Plains, Qin and Han dynasties, Guilin is an important passage from the Central Plains to Lingnan, Guilin landscape has a strange and handsome style, magnificent and broad momentum, the attitude of the weather, subtle and profound interest, very rich in poetry and painting, the Tang Dynasty has been a famous scenic spot in the world, and there is also the praise of "Guilin landscape is the best in the world" has been passed down to this day. Da Kui has heard its name for a long time but has not had the opportunity to see it.
The team crossed the Li River and traveled westward, with beautiful scenery and beauty along the way.
Da Kui was always amazed, and the entourage couldn't help but feel a 'chicken' Pigada. This Master Zhang was really sharp-tongued, and when he saw the dangerous peaks towering and full of verdant, he actually sighed with emotion: "Oh, isn't it a good place to raise a flat mouth here.
When I saw the water of the Li River, I actually said that when I had leisure, I would come to 'touch' the fish.
After a few days, the caravan came to a small town, the town is called Xiangshan Town, the scenery here is beautiful, it is blessed, the town is named after the mountain, this mountain is called Elephant Trunk Mountain.
Elephant Trunk Mountain is located on the edge of the Li River.At the outlet of the Peach 'Flower' River.The elephant trunk just stretches into the Li River.It resembles a god elephant drinking river water.Elephant Trunk Mountain is world-famous.And the pheasant mountain not far from it is little known.Speaking of which, there is an amazing mythical story.
One day, two monsters, one big and one small, came to Guilin, the little one rode the big one, the small one called himself "Pheasant Phoenix Daxian", and the big one was called "Xiang".
The pheasant sneered and patted the elephant's head gently. The elephant stretched out its proboscis and rolled up an old man.
The pheasant demon laughed and said, "From now on, I will be the king of Guilin, and if anyone does not obey, I will ask the elephant to eat him." Then he asked the elephant to pull up trees, destroy fields, and climb rivers.
Chang'e said angrily: "Where are you the demon who came from, dare to come and run amok."
The pheasant demon said: "I won't give you a little 'color' to see today, you don't know what is at stake in me." After speaking, he conjured thirty-six hands, carried eighteen weapons, and attacked Chang'e. Chang'e fought with the pheasant demon for several rounds, and the pheasant demon knew that he was invincible, and escaped into the ground.
The pheasant demon found the elephant and saw that the elephant was bathing in the Li River, and he was so angry that he scolded: "I almost lost my life. At this time, Chang'e chased after the pheasant demon and fled into a golden light. Chang'e found Ganoderma lucidum and let the elephant eat it.
The elephant was very impressed by Chang'e's life-saving grace, thinking that he had done many bad things with the pheasant demon in the past, and decided to change his ways, so he decided to stay in Guilin, and to wash away his sins with his good deeds. At this time, the elephants were no longer the same as before, and they refused to leave, and when they heard the news, they rushed to surround the pheasants, and they scolded, "Devil, get out, get away, we don't want to see you."
The pheasant is furious.' The elephant got angry, threw out its proboscis and threw the pheasant into a latrine in Guangdong.
The pheasant demon never expected that the elephant would hit its master.Decided to let out this evil breath.After he returned to Guilin.It coincided with the great drought in Guilin.The people were fighting the drought.The elephant was sticking its proboscis into the water moon pool.Sucking up the water.Spraying at the crop.The pheasant took the opportunity to secretly pull out his sword.Rode on the cloud.Come to the top of the elephant's head.He stabbed the elephant in the back.The long sword passed through the elephant's belly.It stabbed all the way to the ground.The elephant was firmly nailed to the place.Unable to move.Chang'e saw this scene.Picked up the demon mirror and took a look.But saw a golden light falling from the sky.The pheasant demon was stoned to death behind the elephant.
Later, the elephant and the pheasant demon were turned into stone mountains, respectively, the elephant mountain and the pheasant mountain, the pagoda on the elephant mountain, that is, the pheasant demon pierced the elephant left the hilt, people took the elephant mountain as a symbol of Guilin, and no one remembered the pheasant mountain anymore. Chang'e's demon mirror smashed the pheasant demon, broke into seven petals, the common people hung it on the mountainside of Putuo Mountain, and it became the famous Seven Star Rock.
Da Kui listened with great interest to the local people telling the story of Elephant Trunk Mountain, and felt that this story was quite meaningful.
At night, Da Kui came alone outside the tent, looking at the outline of Elephant Trunk Mountain in the dark night, and couldn't help but have infinite reverie in his heart.
Da Kui is looking at the scenery and sighing, but faintly saw that there is a person standing by the river not far away, looking at the situation is similar to himself, and also in the river, there is a feeling, the chariot and horse team has traveled for several months to this place, all of them are already sleepy and tired, except for the soldiers on duty, the rest of them all go to bed early, at this moment Da Kui is alone, and suddenly feel bored.
Da Kui slowly walked to the river, pretending to be casual and walked towards the people by the river, casually glanced at it, this person was dressed in a plain white robe, he looked thin, a light blue 'color' cloth was tied around his waist, but this person was even more delicate.
At first glance, this person in front of him is a scholar. People say that he is poor and rich in martial arts. What is this person who is poor? He must be hungry all year round to lose so much weight.
"This brother is so Yaxing." Da Kui was the first to say hello.
When the thin Confucian saw Da Kui, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "This little brother is polite."
"Hehehe, the moonlit night on the Lijiang River, isn't it pleasant to be accompanied by fine wine." Da Kui laughed.
Confucian Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You and I have never known each other.
Da Kui smiled again: "Why do you have to know each other when you meet, it is fate to meet, there is a good wine that you don't share with others, and it's a big sin."
"Brother Tai's words are also interesting." Confucian nodded and smiled.
Because it was late, this Confucian was facing away from the moonlight, and Da Kui couldn't see what this person looked like, but Da Kui was quite interested at this time, and just wanted to find someone to drink together.
