Chapter 11 The Yellow Crane Reminisces the Old Man on the Tower
The Taoist priest named Murong Zhongyan had heard a little about it before Chu Chou lived in seclusion, and knew that this Taoist priest had a very good talent, but after all, he was not a generation, so he had never met him. I didn't expect to meet today, after spanning a hundred years. Life is full of accidents!
After Zhao Zhishui ate and drank enough, Chu Chou took her out of the restaurant.
L.A. is big and has a lot of people. Chu Chou and Zhao Zhishui were in quick shape, and after leaving the area of the restaurant, they once again blended into the endless crowd and wandered around this famous city that was famous throughout the Eastern Regions.
Along the way, Zhao Zhishui saw the 'broken boulder on her back', the 'spitting fire' juggling, the 'martial arts competition' and many other things that were very interesting to her. After all, this is her first time traveling the rivers and lakes, and she still has a strong sense of curiosity and interest in many new things. On the contrary, it is Chu Chou, after seeing too much, there is no turmoil in my heart. However, what Chu Chou prefers is not to be as plain as water in his heart every day, but to maintain a pure heart, like that young man, with a sunny heart and carefree. He was so sad that he couldn't do it.
It's not like it, juvenile travel.
Take a look around, and before you know it, it's been three days. Chu Chou and Zhao Zhishui didn't know when they came to the central area of Los Angeles.
Lingyan Pavilion!
Los Angeles was once a powerful imperial capital. In the former empire, there were writers and poets, countless famous generals and ministers, and there were scholars who were all over the world, which can be said to be the civil and military world of the Manchu Dynasty!
But now under the strong pressure of the East Pole Empire, the country is finally broken!
And this world-famous Lingyan Pavilion has witnessed the glory of this empire.
Lingyan Pavilion, promoted hero.
Please go to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar and a marquis!
How many people are in Lingyan Pavilion, and they have never fought against Sesha?
The painting pavilion is empty, and it looks at the nine days. Danying is magnificent, and the plain wall is painted to be virtuous!
The poets sang, and the Manchu Dynasty scholars and warriors praised that the emperor of the empire had come to this pavilion many times, and even the emperor of the Dongji Empire had come here several times!
On the opposite side of Lingyan Pavilion, separated from the former imperial road, there is a more famous Yellow Crane Tower!
Back then, Chu Chou was in the Yellow Crane Tower, and he met the scholar who was him, and he had to envy! That Li Taibai, who the world called "poetry fairy" and "wine fairy"!
At that time, Chu Chou had just walked the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he couldn't even drink wine. It was that person who taught Chu Chou what wine is and what sorrow is!
Chu Chou took Zhao Zhishui to the Yellow Crane Tower.
Because Lingyan Pavilion does not allow ordinary people to enter, today's Yellow Crane Tower is overcrowded every day, and even people with status, status and wealth are required to enter.
Chu Chou has walked the rivers and lakes for many years before, and has met a lot of "friends in the rivers and lakes", and those "friends in the rivers and lakes" also gave Chu Chou a lot of calligraphy and painting playthings, but they were all exchanged for snowflake silver by Chu Chou and given to many poor people he met, but even so, there is still a lot left.
After paying the money, Chu Chou took Zhao Zhishui to climb the Yellow Crane Tower in Kyushu. There are so many poems about this building that the sandalwood walls of the building alone are completely engraved with poems! The ceiling is also full of poems, and there is not a single gap to write another poem!
The Yellow Crane Tower has nine floors, and the higher you go, the more money you spend.
And now is not the day to go upstairs to give words, so there are very few people on the nine-story building.
Chu Chou took Zhao Zhishui and climbed to the ninth floor of the Yellow Crane Tower, and as soon as he went upstairs, he saw those few lines of poetry with a capital letter.
"The old man left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March. ”
"The lonely sail is far away and the sky is clear, and only the Yangtze River skyline can be seen. ”
This is exactly the most famous poem about this building! It is also one of the most famous poems of that poet fairy Li Taibai!
"Lao Li ......" Chu Chou couldn't help but feel touched when he saw those few verses.
Memories from years ago come flooding back to mind.
"Brother Chu, come, drink!" The Yellow Crane Tower was not very famous at that time, and a middle-aged man in white raised his wine glass and handed it to the young man who was climbing to the heights to watch the scenery, and he didn't know what to worry about.
"Brother Li, I'm ...... I don't drink. At that time, Chu Wenwen, who had just walked the rivers and lakes and was really very young, blushed and said a little shyly.
In the past, Chu Chou was not called Chu Chou, his name was Chu Dao, and the world only heard Chu Dao Chu Jian Xian!
"I don't know how to drink, so I want to learn! I must be happy in life, don't let the gold bottle be empty to the moon! What kind of Jianghu people are Jianghu people who don't drink!" The middle-aged man joked with a smirk.
"That'...... Then I'll take a bite?" Chu asked and took the wine glass carefully, sniffed it, and frowned, but he still resisted and tasted it, and then coughed constantly, and finally ...... Do you think it tastes okay?
Then take another sip? Chu asked Without waiting for the middle-aged man in white to speak, he raised his glass again and took a sip of sake, and then ...... It's just a lot of drinking.
"How can you be young for a long time? Don't hesitate to get drunk and laugh! When will everything in the world be!" The middle-aged man in white also sang and drank bitterly when he saw this, so unhappy!
After a while, the young Chu Chou, that is, Chu Wendao, was drunk and lying on the world-famous purple gold sandalwood Eight Immortals table in the Yellow Crane Tower.
"Hahaha, happy and happy! There will be another young man in the world from now on!" The middle-aged man in white named Li Taibai looked at the young man lying on the table and nodded with a smile.
"This young man is also a person who cares about people! I don't know which girl he cares about! Why do you forget the love words in the world for a while? You can only get drunk!"
"Ten thousand poems, thousands of wines. How many times have you looked at the Hou Wang?"
"Yulou Jin Que is returning lazily, and inserting plum blossoms to get drunk in Los Angeles!"
In this way, within a few months, Chu Wendao got drunk and didn't know how many times. But he felt that he had the right appetite with the middle-aged man surnamed Li, so he was also drunk!
It wasn't until much later that he knew that the white-clothed Brother Li was actually the world-famous Li Taibai!
On the day he left Los Angeles, Li Taibai and he drank again on the Yellow Crane Tower, but it was only a drink, not a bitter drink.
It was also on that day that Li Taibai wrote, "The old man left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March." The lonely sail is far away and the blue sky is endless, and only the Yangtze River skyline can be seen. The famous sentence of the ages.
At that time, there was still a big river outside Los Angeles, and the river was so big that it ranked among the top ten rivers in the entire Eastern Regions. It's just that as the later empire was shattered and the wind and rain were shaken, the river dried up for some reason.
Chu Chou still remembers the words that Brother Li said that day when he stood on the top floor of the Yellow Crane Tower, leaned on the railing, and looked at the rolling river.
"Brother Chu, ruthlessness is not as affectionate and bitter! When you were young, let him go crazy and get drunk for 36,000 times! Let your heart wander the world for your home! But when you are older, you must let your heart be at peace!"
It was this last sentence that made Chu Chou remember that person and admire that person for the rest of his life!
What happened to that unruly and endless poet fairy? What happened to him? Chu Chou didn't know, but he heard that the poet died of illness when he traveled through the mountains and rivers. Because he was not a cultivator, he lived for more than 60 years and then left.
If you were still alive, I would definitely tell you how I became an invincible sword immortal, talk about the life principles I figured out, and then let you comment on it!
Of course, Brother Li, you definitely don't want to listen to it, you don't want to listen to it, you don't want to listen to this, you will definitely let me tell some interesting stories about the rivers and lakes, after all, I may be better at reasoning than you now!
However, you will always be the person I envy and admire the most! I love freedom all my life!
Chu Chou stood on the top floor of the Yellow Crane Tower, looking at the river road that had been exhausted for many years, drinking silently alone, it was the sunset at this time, and the atmosphere was sad.
However, Chu Chou didn't show a little sadness, just drank silently, and then followed the man's example, raising a glass to drink with one hand, patting the railing with the other, and singing, "Thousands of poems, ten thousand wines, how many layers of eyes look at the Hou Wang?!"
When does the sun set, one large and one small lower floor.
