Xiao Baicai hadn't noticed the change in atmosphere and was still happily eating the lamb and beef from the hot pot. But when she looked up, she saw the comments were all shouting, "Stop eating, stop eating! The plot's breaking!"
Xiao Baicai looked up blankly and saw that Du Fu and Su Shi were both holding their wine cups motionless. After a pause, Su Shi said, "I was born three hundred years after Zimei and Taibai."
This sentence set the tone.
Hewlett, who happened to click on Xiaobaicai's live broadcast room during a break and was about to leave after watching the previous live broadcast, stopped when he heard this sentence.
"So that's how it is. Zizhan is a man from later times." Du Fu understood. "I was saying that with Zizhan's talent, he shouldn't have been unknown."
"So, will I be working in the Ministry of Works in the future?" He smiled with satisfaction. "The Ministry of Works is good. At least I can do some practical things for the people."
——The Ministry of Works among the Six Ministries is in charge of civil engineering, water conservancy, military farming, etc., almost all of which are related to people's livelihood. It is also a relatively ideal position for Du Fu.
Xiao Baicai felt that what Su Shi wanted to say might not be this.
But after saying this, neither of them spoke. The panda cub, who had woken up at some point, crawled around on the blanket, crawled over to Du Fu, nuzzled him, and then rolled over with all four paws facing the sky. Du Fu picked up the panda that was tugging at the corner of his clothes, placed it on his lap, smoothed its fur for a while, and then put it back on the blanket, near Li Bai.
The panda cub climbed onto Li Bai's hanging clothes, sat on the poet's legs, looked at this and that with a pair of innocent little eyes, and was picked up by Du Fu again.
"Zimei, don't you ask about the future?" Su Shi asked.
"Knowing about the future isn't a good thing," Du Fu said nonchalantly. "If it's a good thing, then knowing it is also a good thing. But if it's a bad thing, then wouldn't I be constantly hesitant and fearful? It's better not to know."
Su Shi's expression suddenly relaxed.
The two of them ended their conversation and drank together.
Xiao Baicai, who stopped listening halfway, looked confused and felt like a confused outsider.
Xiaobaicai: Wait, I want to know! What kind of riddle are you guys telling me?
"Village chief, do you want to know?" The words of the land suddenly rang in Xiao Baicai's ears. Xiao Baicai subconsciously went to find where the land was and saw the land floating beside him, looking at him quietly. Su Shi and Du Fu did not seem to hear what the land said and were still drinking.
Can you know if you want to know?
Xiao Baicai asked with her eyes.
"Village Chief, take a look at the Achievements. There should be an achievement for Traveler Li Bai and Traveler Du Fu appearing at the same time. The item given by that achievement allows you to choose someone with a similar mindset."
Xiao Baicai opened the achievement record as instructed and saw that there was indeed an achievement called [Li Bai and Du Fu's Poems Transmitted by Thousands of People] that had been completed, and it did give a prop.
"Dongpo." Xiao Baicai hesitated for a moment and called Su Shi.
"Um?"
"Can I use a telepathic item on you?" he explained quietly. Players didn't need to consult with NPCs to use items in the game, but he couldn't treat the travelers in Peach Blossom Spring as mere NPCs. "Just... that 'future event' you didn't mention..."
"Brother Baicai, you want to know about Zimei and Taibai, right?" Su Shi smiled graciously and pointed to his head. "Go ahead, I'll think about what you want to know."
With permission, Xiao Baicai lit the prop incense. The smoke, which only players could see, filled the cabin in the snow, circled around Su Shi, and finally gathered into countless images in Xiao Baicai's retina.
These images are also shared with the live broadcast room, and the audience in the live broadcast room can see everything that Xiao Baicai himself can see.
These images are Su Shi's imaginary depictions of the lives of Du Fu and Li Bai, based on various historical records. Originally, Su Shi's imaginations were only vague, but this encounter in Peach Blossom Spring gave his images of Li Bai and Du Fu concrete forms.
The rebellious spirit of poets in prosperous times and the difficulties of turbulent times.
He saw Li Bai write in his youthful vigor, "One day the great roc soars with the wind, reaching up to ninety thousand miles." But in his old age, he wrote, "The great roc soars, shaking off its eight descendants, only to be crushed in the middle of the sky, its strength gone."
He saw Du Fu lamenting in the raging wind, "I wish I had a mansion with thousands of rooms, to shelter all the poor scholars in the world and make them happy, safe and sound like a mountain, unmoved by wind and rain!"
... Originally, Xiao Baicai couldn't understand or relate to these lines, but because he now shared Su Shi's thoughts, he somehow understood the emotions within them. Even Li Bai's ambition to compare himself to the great roc, having witnessed the Kun transforming into a roc and soaring 90,000 miles in "Xiao Yao You," he understood the ambition and helplessness within it.
This is their brilliant and bumpy life.
If at this point, Xiaobaicai and the audience in the live broadcast room still have tears in their eyes, and have the urge to go in there and really get to know them.
At the very end, they saw...
Li Bai, who lived a carefree life but had unfulfilled ambitions, died while drunk while catching the moon; Du Fu, who was concerned about his country and its people, died on a boat in a rainstorm.
Xiao Baicai was completely dumbfounded.
"What is this...?" His voice trembled unconsciously.
[…? ]
【!!! Is there something wrong with my eyes? I must be seeing things!】
[Fuck, what is this? It must be fake!]
[We're still drinking together, and you're telling me they're dead? ???]
I fucking cried
Let me sort this out first. I'm starting to understand a little bit now. What I'm saying is that Su Dongpo, Li Bai, and Du Fu didn't live at the same time. Is that correct? 】
[In other words, some of these images have already happened, and some have not yet happened.]
[Wait, the information says Du Fu is now 43 years old. Does that mean he hasn't encountered the An-Shi Rebellion yet?]
【Ah ...
Some people can still type, but some can only hum.
There was a lot of discussion in the live broadcast room, but in this small wooden house in Peach Blossom Land, no one could say anything to Li Bai who was taking a nap and Su Shi and Du Fu who were still drinking.
He remembered what CH said when he asked him last time.
TA said that the story of every traveler in "Peach Blossom Spring" was adapted from real history.
What kind of history is this?
"Are you okay, my dear brother Baicai?" Su Shi saw that he had not moved for a long time, so he turned his head to look at him with a calm and gentle look.
"Okay, okay!" Xiao Baicai sniffed, put away the prop, and sat here surprisingly quietly, glancing at the drunk Li Bai from time to time, and at Du Fu and Su Shi from time to time.
"What does Mr. Baicai want to say?" Du Fu noticed his gaze and asked him, not knowing that Mr. Baicai was still sad about his life.
Xiao Baicai opened her mouth, then thought of Du Fu's words about not wanting to know about the future. Finally, she whispered, "Mr. Zimei, Mr. Dongpo, what is poetry...?"
Seeing that he was interested in poetry, Du Fu gladly explained to him the concept of poetry, starting from the oldest Book of Songs, as well as things like imagery, prosody, rhyme, and sentence structure when writing poetry. He also composed a few simple verses for him as examples.
Su Shi made some supplements on the side.
——What is poetry?
——To put it simply, poetry is just a way for poets to express their feelings.
In a broader sense, this may be the spirit, soul, and eternal romance of a nation.
…
Hewlett, who was watching the live broadcast, blinked his slightly sore eyes and quickly took notes, writing down everything.
Besides that, his notes page has a lot of notes, and besides Xiaobaicai's live broadcast room, there are several other live broadcast rooms frequented by travelers. There are even screen recordings.
Because the time in the game is close to the Spring Festival, the probability of travelers appearing has actually increased a lot, so that players and travelers can celebrate the Spring Festival together.
In this case, it is normal for several travelers to appear. For example, in the house of the Dark Knight Soul Grandpa next to Xiaobaicai, although they did not appear at the same time, there were also three travelers in it.
In addition to the two young traveler girls who appeared at the beginning, there is also a young boy named Huo Qubing and an adult man named Yue Fei. The last one can be said to be the only adult who appeared in the Peach Blossom Spring of the Dark Knight Soul.
When Hewlett opened the live broadcast room of the grandfather next door, he saw three travelers discussing something called [Art of War] and [Tactics].
The traveler named Yue Fei described a form of war like asking a question, listing in detail the troop strength, food routes, camping sites and so on. The young traveler girl Mu Guiying and the young man named Huo Qubing studied it together for a while, and almost in unison said the solution.
Mu Guiying: "Their defenses near the river are weak. After the northern raid, they should send a surprise attack force to bypass the river upstream, then swim down the river and burn the food and fodder while the chaos is going on."
The young Huo Qubing said something similar to what Mu Guiying said at the beginning, but at the end he thought of a method of encircling the enemy troops from both sides and splitting them in the middle.
The two men argued over their tactical differences and practiced their moves one by one to try to convince the other.
Hewlett was so engrossed in their discussion that he almost forgot to take notes.
There is poetry here, military strategy there, and in other Peach Blossom Springs, some have medical skills, some have mechanical skills, some have chess, and some have musical instruments... Every traveler has sufficient personal charm, attracting countless people who pay attention to Peach Blossom Spring.
It's like a cultural festival.
After Hewlett wrote down the last piece of knowledge, he let out a sigh and returned his gaze to the original Xiaobaicai live broadcast room.
In Xiaobaicai's live broadcast room, after the party ended, Li Bai and Du Fu said goodbye and had no intention of staying any longer.
Xiao Baicai couldn't keep them and had to accompany them all the way. When they reached the entrance of the village, Xiao Baicai suddenly remembered that he had saved enough fishing tokens to buy the Peach Blossom Spring scenery skin. So he bought the spring skin among the spring, summer, autumn and winter skins and put it on immediately.
The moment the skin of Peach Blossom Land in spring is put on, the branches grow taller, the ice and snow melt, and green grows out from the white. Peach Blossom Land instantly turns into the appearance of spring.
The figures of Li Bai and Du Fu gradually disappeared in this scenery and left the Peach Blossom Spring.
When Hewlett saw this scene, he thought of the knowledge points he had memorized about the intention and rhyme of poetry. Although he was a rational person with no emotional factors, he suddenly felt some emotional emotions after seeing this scene.
A sentence popped up in his mind, which was not a poem, but was also poetic.
——When I came, I was covered in snow, and when I left, spring was warm and flowers were blooming.
The author has something to say:
Why are you all so busy making trouble? I haven't done anything yet.
Look, where are the knives now? [Melon stall owner.jpg]
In response to a comment about how the heroine could create so many historical figures: Actually, there aren't that many! No more than a hundred, and even fewer are super detailed. Only the ones the heroine is familiar with are detailed. Parts she's less familiar with are blurred, which is why Li Bai and the others appear so detailed (not everyone's timeline is this clear). And speaking of military tactics, mechanisms, and medical skills, she didn't need to memorize military manuals, explain medical principles, or set up mechanisms to build from scratch; she just had to come up with something. Go isn't particularly sophisticated; she knows it all on her own. Calligraphy, painting, and the zither aren't things she knows, but she created them through her imagination, just like a beautiful painting—you can't draw it yourself, but because you've seen so many, you know what they look like. And holographic production involves some deductive calculations. (I've explained it as reasonably as I can, but there are bound to be some irrationalities in the artistic processing of novels. If you can't accept this, it's hard to continue reading.) By the end, "Peach Blossom Spring" will be completed, and the method is guaranteed to be perfectly reasonable.
Note: When the great roc rises with the wind, it soars up to ninety thousand miles. "To Li Yong" by Li Bai
The great roc soars, shaking off its eight descendants, only to be crushed in mid-air, its strength exhausted. "Song on the Road" by Li Bai
I wish I had thousands of mansions, to shelter all the poor people in the world and make them happy, safe and sound like a mountain in the face of wind and rain! "Song of the Thatched Hut Destroyed by the Autumn Wind"
