    Fly north from Shannan East Road to Xiangzhou, enter Gyeonggi Road and reach Chang'an City.  The golden eagle summoned by Ye Yi'an and the golden-winged roc summoned by Xu Xiang are both arrogant and arrogant birds. They fly angrily and compete for heights. They don't care how long they fly between the blue sky and the sea. Ye Yi'an passes through  Through the gap in the clouds and mist, I could see an extremely majestic and majestic city in the distance below.  When he saw this city for the first time from a high position, although he had never been to Xijing, Ye Yian knew that it must be Chang'an, which has the reputation of the golden city.  This is not only due to its vast area and prosperous shops, but more importantly, the city as a whole exudes a graceful, luxurious and world-defying demeanor that none of the cities seen along the way have.  Landing in a hidden place far away from Chang'an, Xu Xiang dismissed the golden-winged roc and saw that Ye Yi'an seemed to be distracted, so he asked why.  Even though they are far apart, the outline of the majestic Chang'an can be seen here. The feeling of stepping on the ground is completely different from that of standing high in the sky. Ye Yi'an only feels that the city in front seems to have a pressure coming towards him, "The world of practice  When it comes to the people in the world, most practitioners don't take it seriously, or even make disparaging remarks. After seeing this city today, I realize that the people in the world are respectable and awe-inspiring. They can build such a majestic and majestic city. This is the spiritual world.  Who in the highest realm can do it? "Xu Xiang didn't expect that Ye Yi'an was distracted by this emotion, but he didn't say anything about it, and just walked to the official road first.  There were many cars and horses on the official road to Chang'an. Ye Yi'an walked slowly behind Xu Xiang. About half an hour later, there was a faint sound of water vapor coming from ahead. Not far away, he saw a unique wooden bridge across the road.  Astride the clear water.  Weeping willows are planted on both sides of the bridge, but without exception, these willow trees are bare, with all the branches broken off.  "This is Baqiao" At that time, there was a custom of breaking willows and giving them away. When sending someone away on a long journey, nothing else was needed, but a willow branch was indispensable.  It is a homophonic pronunciation of "liu" and "liu", which means to say farewell and stay with guests; it also means that willow branches can survive, hoping that passers-by can be as easy-going and safe as willow branches.  Because of this, there is a scene where the willow branches on both sides of Baqiao are all broken.  Baqiao is ten miles away from Chang'an. It can be called the most famous farewell place in the world. People come and go. Xu Xiang retreats slightly and walks side by side with Ye Yi'an. Seeing his cheerful and elegant appearance, he has questions.  Looking at the bare willows of Baqiao in front of him, two lines of poetry suddenly appeared in Ye Yi'an's head. When they met each other in vain, he recited them casually: "The willows are full of smoke in the spring of Ba'an, and they climb and break every year for pedestrians." At this time  Ye Yian was wearing a Ge robe. Because of his tall figure, the Ge robe was quite elegant, which perfectly matched his demeanor as he slowly looked around and recited poems.  At this time, Ye Yi'an looked like a young and romantic scholar. After hearing the poem, Xu Xiang looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "As soon as you left Xiangzhou, your whole temperament seemed to have changed."  , How weird!" Hearing this, Ye Yi'an was stunned, and then smiled silently.  The virtual meeting was extremely accurate. For some reason, as soon as he left Xiangzhou - where the black prison was, he left the valley of Wuyin Mountain where he had been with his master day and night for nine years, and he left Guangyuan Temple and the casual cultivator world, Ye Yi'an didn't know it.  The central state becomes looser and wider, as if a person carrying a heavy burden has temporarily put aside his burden. This kind of relaxation and comfort is really not what outsiders can relate to.  After laughing, Ye Yi'an didn't explain anything. He walked with Xu Xiang and drove across the Ba Bridge. Someone was holding a farewell banquet at the ten-mile long pavilion on the side of the bridge. There were singers serving wine, and they sang Wang Mojie's popular "Yangguan Song"  ¡· "Five miles further, there is another short pavilion on the roadside, and there is also a small banquet inside. Judging from the scene, it is just like lovers setting off wine to say goodbye.  When the two were passing by, they happened to see the woman holding the pipa in her arms and singing resentfully.  This woman's pipa skills were so exquisite that Ye Yi'an couldn't help but slow down a little. Hearing that the woman sang with the pipa, it was a folk song "Folding Willows" that he only heard the tune but not the words:  hand.  When I asked him when he would return, he didn't say anything but looked back!  ??Break the willow and blame the willow.  How can the short and long strips be tied only to the concubine's heart and not to the horse's head?  "The pipa is wonderful, the singing voice is charming, and the lyrics are beautiful and pleasant. After listening to it, Ye Yi'an just quickened his pace, and he felt more and more that this trip to Chang'an was an unintentional one.  After the long pavilion was connected to the short pavilion, they entered Chang'an City through Linde Gate. Ye Yian saw what he saw, just as Lu Zhaolin, one of the four outstanding figures of the early Tang Dynasty, said in "The Ancient Meaning of Chang'an": "The Chang'an Avenue is narrow and sloping, with green oxen, white horses and seven-scented carriages."  Chariots passed across the main hall, and golden whips came to the Hou family." Looking around, it is a scene of indescribable splendor and prosperity.  Xu Xiang noticed that Ye Yi'an was in a good mood and slowed down his pace. The two of them walked on Zhuque Street, which could accommodate more than ten carriages. They allowed Ye Yi'an to look around while Xu Xiang explained to him.?Some things to note.  "This Zhuque Street is the main road of Chang'an. With this as the boundary, the city is divided into two counties, Chang'an and Wannian. Going north through this street is the imperial city inside the Zhuque Gate, and then continuing up to the Chengtian Gate is the Holy City.  "The palace city where the emperor lives" Ye Yi'an looked up as Xu Xiang explained and saw a faint building covered with bright yellow glazed tiles at the far end of Zhuque Street. That should be the so-called palace.  "The imperial city and the palace city are located on the Longshou Plain, which is the highest in Chang'an. Ye Yian, you must remember that under any circumstances, you are not allowed to activate elixir power near Longshou Plain, let alone cast spells. This is a place for practitioners to  The first taboo that Chang'an must abide by, if you violate it, not to mention poor Taoism, even the great master enshrined in Ziji Palace will not be able to save you." Performing magic in the palace is seeking death. Ye Yi'an nodded and remembered Xu Xiang's instructions.  .  "In addition, Chang'an City is not as good as Xiangzhou. The power of the alchemy mirror arrays densely set up in the city is far beyond your imagination. Even if it is not Longshouyuan, as long as it is in the city, the elixir magic can be used unless absolutely necessary.  Don't touch the Dharma, otherwise you will have to check the mark for Xuandu Observation. Even if you have the identity of Renyong Colonel, it will be very troublesome to explain." Ye Yi'an had heard Yan Ruyi mentioned this before, so he didn't hear about it at this moment.  He was surprised, and even felt a touch of joy in his heart when he nodded in agreement. He had no intention of causing trouble at all, and the restrictions on practitioners in Chang'an City were so strict that it was rare for him to spend these three months in peace.  The two of them walked along and explained the precautions, and before they knew it, they arrived at the most prosperous West Market in Chang'an. When Xu Xiang was saying that it was not far from the Sutra Hall, someone suddenly called Xu Xiang from a nearby bookstore.  Stopping and turning around, he saw that the person calling was an old man with a pale face and gray hair.  His hair was tied up in a bun casually, and he was not crowned, but a wooden hairpin was casually inserted; his plain-colored robe was slightly white after being washed; and he also wore a pair of multi-eared hemp shoes on his feet very casually.  Once a practitioner¡¯s spiritual realm reaches the spiritual elixir stage, the beauty-preserving effect will naturally occur. Therefore, those who appear as old men in the spiritual realm often have low spiritual realms, and most of them are people with a bumpy fate.  Although this is not an iron rule - for example, there are practitioners who voluntarily give up condensing pills to stay in appearance, but after all, there are only a few exceptions.  The well-mannered old man in front of him really doesn't look like a person with a high level of cultivation. Since then, he is either not a practitioner, or his level of cultivation is very low. However, Ye Yi'an was very respectful to this old man when he saw Xu.  And it is obvious that this respect comes from sincerity.  After the old man exchanged a few words with Xu Xiang, he pointed his finger at Ye Yian and said to Xu Xiang: "I know you are a busy person, so I won't bother you. I just want to find someone to help me. This little guy  If my friend is free, how about asking him to do it? " "Since Dr. Li likes him, let him make this trip for you." Xu Xiang turned around and briefly introduced Ye Yi'an before letting him listen.  Dr. Li ordered, and then gave him an address, and went straight there after finishing his work.  ?According to the introduction of Xu Xiang, Dr. Li was a doctor of the Five Classics in Guozixue before he became an official. He is actually one of the best scholars in the world today.  He was also invited to the Sutra Hall to give lectures on the Sutra. At that time, Xu Xiang happened to be studying the Sutra in the Sutra Hall, and the two of them were actually masters and disciples during their discussion.  It's just that since he became an official, he has declined invitations to read and write behind closed doors for his own entertainment, and no longer goes to the Sutra Hall.  This person is indeed not a practitioner.  Ye Yi'an happily accepted Xu Xiang's arrangement. He had always had a literati sentiment in his heart, and now that he had the opportunity to get along with Dr. Guozi, who studied the Five Classics, although he had no intention of clinging to him, he would not resist.  What Dr. Li asked him to do was actually very simple, which was to send him the thick stack of books he had just purchased.  It was only because Dr. Li took refuge in a thatched cottage in the Zhongnan Mountains after becoming an official. The place was inaccessible by horse and cart, so manpower was needed to transport it.  This matter was just a piece of cake for Ye Yi'an. He picked up the books and followed Dr. Li on the hired bicycle. After leaving the south gate of Chang'an for fifteen miles, he arrived at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain.  Zhongnan Mountain is the famous mountain closest to Chang'an. It has excellent scenery and the beauty of tranquility in the bustle. It has always been a place where the city's dignitaries set up their villas, and scholars also settled here.  After getting off the carriage and walking for more than an hour, we arrived at the place where Dr. Li built his cottage. It was a three-room thatched cottage with a vegetable patch outside.  The two old servants who were serving the food and daily life here were busy in the vegetable garden, their hands were covered with muddy water. Upon seeing this, Dr. Li asked Ye Yian to send the books directly to his study.  Like Meng Haoran¡¯s thatched cottage, the study room is also the largest room in Dr. Li¡¯s residence. The windows inside are bright and clean, and everything is placed meticulously.  From just this one detail, Ye Yian can tell that Dr. Li's academic style must be extremely rigorous.   After putting down the book, Ye Yi'an looked at the bookshelves on the four walls. It was just a casual scan, but it made him raise his eyebrows.  Among the many bookshelves on the four walls, there is one book that has obviously been read the most recently. It is a coincidence that it is full of philology books just like Xu Gongda's study, but there are not as many books.  Books such as "Shuowen Jiezi", "Huainan Honglie Exegesis", and "Four Tones Qie Yun" are all on the shelf. In addition, there are many neatly collected rubbings of ancient characters. Ye Yi'an lowered his head to look at the rubbings he mentioned.  Most of the newly purchased books that came in were also philology-related books.  It can¡¯t be such a coincidence, right?  This Dr. Li is a doctor of the Five Classics. How could he be so focused on philology?  At this moment, Dr. Li walked in with tea. When Ye Yian took the tea and sipped it, he talked about his curiosity in a very casual tone.  When asked, Dr. Li said with a smile: "I have been studying the Five Classics all my life, and it's over! Now that I have become an official and no longer have to do the homework, I might as well change my mind. The words and sounds are really interesting." Listening to Dr. Li's words  Ye Yian also lost his doubts when he saw that he had just started studying calligraphy.  He also laughed secretly at himself for being too sensitive. As philology is a specialized subject, isn't it normal for scholars to be interested in it?  There are so many scholars like this in the world, so there is nothing to be suspicious of.  While the two were talking, there were footsteps outside again. It was obvious that this person was very familiar to Dr. Li. After hearing the footsteps, he smiled at Ye Yi'an and said, "A wealthy guest is here. This person always likes to hide famous tea, so I'm going to lie about it."  He borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha in order to repay his friend for bringing me books." Perhaps he also felt that these words were really abrupt. After finishing speaking, Dr. Li added with a smile, "Xuke Taoist and I are already familiar with each other and are not polite.  Come on, most of my good calligraphy studies in the past two years were due to his encouragement." Hearing this, Ye Yi'an's hand holding the tea cup shook slightly, Taoist?  Is it a dharma name or a false name?  Regardless of those wild Taoist priests, the names of regular Taoists who have received Taoism are not randomly chosen. There are differences in seniority among them.  Nowadays, Taoist priests in various Taoist temples who have not yet received the ordination and obtained Taoist rituals are not counted. After officially receiving the ordination, they are called "Ming" generation, with "Qing" above it, and "Xu" after "Xu", and "Xuan" after "Xu".  As for what comes after "Ming, Qing, Xu, Xuan", Ye Yi'an is not familiar with it.  But no matter what, the Taoist whose name starts with "Xu" has a very high status in the Taoist sect. Xu Gu and Xu Sheng are both the masters of one view, and Xu Jing is the master of the general view. What is this Xu?  people?  How could he encourage Dr. Li to study philology?  If it doesn't involve Yun Wen, that's it. If it's the opposite, that's a Taoist taboo!  It¡¯s hard to believe that I¡¯m overthinking it, but is this just a casual reminder to my friends?  When Ye Yi'an took the opportunity to lower his head and sip the tea to hide the confusion on his face, the visitor had already entered the door.  As Xu Ke walked into the room, Ye Yi'an intuitively felt a strong coldness in an instant.
