Chapter 93
The medium-sized courtyard was completely silent.
The tourists all had dazed expressions.
To be honest, for interstellar people who have never been exposed to poetry since childhood, they are naturally very shocked when they hear this famous poem that has been passed down through the ages.
The level of shock was so great that it left many people speechless.
They have never felt the profoundness of Chinese characters as much as they do now.
Each word seems ordinary, but when combined together, they become these beautiful poems.
Things like "The Yellow River comes from heaven" and "Enjoy life to the fullest" - although they only partially understood what they heard, just by listening to Yin Lingyue's recitation, they all felt that these poems were astonishing.
But on second thought, Li Bai is worthy of being the ancestor of China. Since the ancestor is so powerful, they should also be proud of it.
Don’t ask, if you ask, it means you just want to live off your ancestors.
The tourists were in high spirits after hearing this. They looked towards Li Bai and were about to say a few compliments to him, but unexpectedly they saw a poet who was about to put his head into the wine jar.
After drinking the wine in the jar in one gulp, Li Bai raised his head reluctantly and burped with a little dissatisfaction.
"Not enough, this wine is too light, it doesn't taste good at all." His eyes were clear, and he didn't seem drunk at all.
Glancing at everyone, he continued, "There are still nine spots left. Who wants to come?"
The number of places was reduced by one, and the tourists were a little anxious, but they certainly would not show it on their faces. They just frantically sent messages to their teammates in private.
【Hurry up!!! The spots are almost gone! 】
Perhaps this method really worked. After Li Bai finished drinking the jar of wine, people came running in one after another holding jars of wine.
The wine jars in their arms looked exactly the same as the ones Qi Congjia had held before.
But this wine jar worked the first time, but Li Bai felt a little disgusted with it the second time.
He waved his hand and said, "I've already drunk this wine. Please try another one."
He didn't want to be poisoned by this wine again.
Unexpectedly, Li Bai was not fooled. The tourists were in a panic. They tried to persuade Li Bai to accept it, but the man fell asleep on the table surrounded by them.
The tourists looked at each other in confusion.
What else can I do? I will continue to look for wine.
Compared to the troubles of other tourists, Yin Lingyu's team was much more relaxed, because the three of them found that after collecting three poems, the progress of the activity task moved forward one level.
Li Bai's biography and the rest of his poems are all revealed.
Li Bai, also known by his courtesy name Taibai and his pseudonym Qinglian Jushi, was a cheerful and sociable person who died at the age of 62. His representative works include "A Song for the Wine" and "Early Departure from Baidicheng," for which he was later hailed as the "Poet Immortal."
These few lines briefly summarize the life of this immortal poet, but there is still much that remains to be said.
Yin Lingyue clicked on the introduction details below, and the expanded content took up an entire page, showing in detail each period of Li Bai and the time when his representative works appeared.
It can be said that it is very attentive.
Yin Lingyue took a screenshot of the page and uploaded it to her computer, intending to study it in detail after leaving the park.
Qi Congjia, who was standing next to him, didn't have the patience. She just glanced at it briefly and then said excitedly, "Li Bai has finished collecting. Where should we go next?"
Pan Meng spread her hands and said, "I don't know. Sun Fei hasn't come back yet. I don't know how he's doing. How about contacting him using the computer?"
Unexpectedly, an hour had passed and Sun Fei was still so slow. Qi Congjia hesitated for a long time, and finally went to tie him up.
As soon as she sent the message, she received a reply immediately.
Qi Congjia frowned when he saw the news, and then said to the two of them: "That useless guy Sun Fei, he hasn't been found yet, we have to rely on ourselves."
"Hasn't found it yet?" Pan Meng was a little surprised, but then felt it was natural.
Chang'an City is so big. It would take a long time just to run there. It's normal that we can't find it.
Yin Lingyue had the same idea as her, but she was more perceptive and analyzed, "I see the time limit for the event is within 12 hours. If we just search aimlessly like this, it will be difficult to complete the event, so there must be a way."
That's right.
After being awakened by Yin Lingyue, Qi Congjia lowered her head and sent a message to Sun Fei asking him if he had found anything wrong. However, the message Sun Fei sent again made her face darken, and she couldn't help but want to beat him up.
"Sun Fei told me he was on the run because someone mistook him for a thief. When I asked him where he was, he didn't even know."
Qi Congjia was simply speechless.
Pan Meng didn't expect such a misunderstanding to happen. When he first heard about it, he was stunned for a moment, and then he started to laugh.
"How can someone be arrested just for walking outside? Does he have a criminal's face?" She laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back and tears came out.
Qi Congjia nodded in agreement. The more she thought about it, the funnier it became. She couldn't help but laugh along with her bestie.
Yin Lingyue, who was thinking with her head down, was listening to the conversation between the two. Suddenly, something flashed through her mind. She racked her brains and finally figured out the key.
She suddenly shouted, "I understand."
"What?" Qi Congjia, who was laughing non-stop, replied subconsciously.
But Yin Lingyue didn't care about the two of them. She grabbed their wrists and ran out, taking them to the nearest stall as fast as she could.
This is a small stall selling candied haws. The stall owner is a young man. His eyes are always looking around when he shouts, and his facial features even look a bit monkey-like.
Seeing the three people coming, the stall owner immediately greeted them, "Fresh and delicious candied haws, come and try them."
There are five small red balls on each stick of these candied haws, which are bright red and quite beautiful.
Seeing the woman in the lead showing interest, the stall owner added, "This candied haws is made from the finest hawthorns, and it's even sugared. I guarantee you'll want more after you've had it."
Qi Congjia decisively bought three strings, one for each person. She took her own candied haws and took a bite.
With a "crack", it has a crisp taste. The outside is covered with sugar, and the hawthorn inside is sour and sweet.
It’s really delicious.
Qi Congjia opened her eyes wide. This was the first time she had eaten the food in Huaxia Paradise. It was simply food that only gods could eat.
Yin Lingyue also took a bite. The sweet and sour taste made her lips curl up slightly. While eating the candied haws, she asked casually, "Boss, besides Lord Li Bai, do you know where else in the whole city of Chang'an there are poets living?"
The stall owner's smile froze, "Why are you asking this?"
Seeing that he was on guard, Yin Lingyue frowned slightly and spoke very bluntly.
"Well, I'm just wondering, Chang'an is such a big city, why don't I see any talented people gathering here? My friend has been looking for over an hour and hasn't seen a single poet. Is Chang'an really such a great place?"
Provoked by her words, the stall owner blurted out, "Chang'an City is of course the most amazing. You haven't found it because you don't know how to look. I know a poet who lives in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda."
The stall owner looked at her angrily.
"Big Wild Goose Pagoda? What place is that?" Yin Lingyue asked puzzledly.
The stall owner pointed behind the three people and said, "The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is such an obvious location, can't you see it?"
Looking in the direction of his finger, the three of them were surprised to find that a tall building stood in the distance, hidden among countless houses.
The stall owner said proudly, "If you want to talk about where there are the most talented scholars, it must be the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the Da Ci'en Temple. Every time the new top scholar comes to the imperial examination, he will leave his name there. Look, Master Li Bai has also been there."
After getting the news she wanted most, Yin Lingyue smiled instantly. She thanked the stall owner and the three of them walked towards the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
While they were busy with the activities, others were also busy with the activities.
As soon as some anchors learned about this event, they directly contacted their friends who were also anchors. They formed a team and if they had any news about the poet, they would share it with the team.
It’s true, this has greatly increased the progress of their activities.
After integrating a lot of information, they completed the activity task around four o'clock in the afternoon. Their four names suddenly appeared on the originally empty leaderboard.
This means that they will receive generous rewards from this event.
The hosts were very happy because they had nothing to do for the time being, so a few of them gathered together to discuss the poems they had collected during the event.
You wouldn’t know until you count them. Once you count them, you will find that these poets have so many representative works.
One of the anchors was shocked. "So there were so many talented people in the Tang Dynasty?"
The poet he met this time was Du Fu, who is known as "the Great Li Du" together with Li Bai. He also wrote many poems, but his style is completely different from Li Bai's and is more gloomy.
But this is not important. It is precisely because each poet has a different style that poetry is given a unique charm.
If we were to say which group is paying the closest attention to this event, it would be the scholars who have been studying civilization.
With the increasing popularity of Huaxia Paradise, coupled with the results of Chen Xia’s previous research, many scholars have indeed turned their attention to Huaxia Paradise.
Especially this poetry activity.
Don't underestimate these few short lines of poetry.
The power of words is sometimes infinite, and these poems alone are enough to explore the stories of the poet's time.
Scholars compared the information previously provided by Song Yuxing to find the content from the Tang Dynasty, then compared them one by one, and finally posted the translation of the poems and their connotations on the Star Network.
As one of the scholars said.
It's undeniable that the more I study Chinese civilization, the more authentic and fascinating it becomes. This is especially true of the Chang'an city Miss Song showcased. As the most populous city in Chinese civilization, Chang'an has many things worth exploring, such as its customs and people, and the living conditions of its inhabitants... In short, Chinese civilization is incredibly beautiful. I think perhaps from the moment I sent this message, I've become a thoroughly Chinese person.
