As we were playing, I suddenly felt as if someone had been observing us. I subconsciously looked around and saw a pavilion on the northeast corner of the mountain. There was an ancient man in a long robe in the pavilion. When he saw me looking at him, he took the initiative to wave in my direction and greet me. I also looked at this person carefully with courtesy and used my mind to check this person. I was shocked when I checked. This person was actually Su Dongpo.
I quickly teleported myself to Su Dongpo and saluted him. Su Dongpo returned the courtesy and helped me up. I asked with a smile. Senior Su, do you like this place too?
Su Dongpo stroked his beard and said," I really like this place. The way of playing here is especially suitable for us to recite poems and express our emotions."
I asked doubtfully, could this place still be beneficial to writing poems and articles?
Su Dongpo said," Of course, I often come here to look for inspiration." I just happened to meet you guys today. I want to see how you guys play.
I'm embarrassed to say that we were all playing blindly. We didn't think of any special gameplay or creativity. I'm sorry to make a fool of myself.
Su Dongpo said," It's nothing. You came here to relax. It's not good to have the psychological burden of innovation."
I asked again, how did you play here? Can you show us?
Su Dongpo thought for a moment and said," Alright, I have nothing to do today, so I'll make a fool of myself."
Zhao Dan, Wang Rong, Xia Yan, Liu Xin, and Wang Xinya also arrived at the pavilion. Let me introduce him to everyone. This is the famous Su Dongpo, Senior Su. Everyone was surprised and delighted when they heard that. Then, they all went forward to salute.
Su Dongpo was still the same. He didn't put on airs and quickly held her hand. I introduced these people to Su Dongpo one by one. After the pleasantries, everyone happily followed Su Dongpo to the Magic Forest, ready to enjoy Su Dongpo's masterpiece.
Su Dongpo said," I also like to come here to play when I have nothing to do. I don't necessarily play better than everyone else. Let me start with a simple one. This is also a poem of mine."
With that, a wine glass appeared in his hand. The surroundings turned dark, and a bright moon hung in the sky. Wang Rong rushed to say,"You are raising your glass to invite Mingyue and Ying Cheng." Xia Yan immediately went forward and pinched Wang Rong. Don't talk nonsense if you don't know. That's Li Bai's poem.
Su Dongpo didn't care. He picked up the wine glass and pointed it at the sky. Suddenly, a magnificent palace appeared in the sky. It was extremely magical.
Everyone now knew that this was Su Shi's most famous water tune. Then we followed Su Dongpo and flew up to a tall pavilion in the palace. Silver and white words appeared in the sky. It was the famous Shuidiao Getou: When will the bright moon appear? I ask the blue sky with wine. I don't know what year it is in the palace in the sky. I want to ride the wind back, but I'm afraid it's too cold at the top of the palace.
After the demonstration, Su Dongpo said with a smile," I'm sorry. There's no special creativity. It's just far-fetched."
We were all stunned and quickly applauded. Seeing that Su Dongpo was so modest, we no longer restrained ourselves, especially the ladies, who pestered Su Dongpo to demonstrate something else.
Su Dongpo was also easy-going and began to demonstrate again. This time, he no longer demonstrated his poems, but turned the surroundings into the appearance of an ancient city. Except for us, the rest of the people were wearing ancient costumes of the Song Dynasty, but no one noticed us. We strolled leisurely on the street under Su Dongpo's lead. We first came to a small stream. On the road beside the stream, there was a group of camels coming from the northeast. There were also a few donkeys carrying heavy goods behind them. A horse groom drove the leading camel to a small bridge not far away, and a few horse grooms behind him drove the caravan forward with whips. The manors of a few other farmers were faintly visible among the trees, and there were a few bird nests on a few high branches. After crossing the small bridge, they walked forward. There was a wheat field with a few stone rollers. There was a sheep pen next to the wheat field. There were a few sheep in the sheep pen. There was also a chicken and duck pen next to the sheep pen. There was a large group of chickens and ducks in it. It was a typical image of the Song Dynasty's urban and rural fringe. I was a little confused as to why Su Dongpo liked this place. He imagined it in such detail. I guess this should be Su Dongpo's hometown.
Su Dongpo did not explain anything, and we all followed him with interest. As they walked forward, they happened to catch up with a group of people who were picking up the bride from the north. Behind them was the groom riding a date red horse, followed by the porter carrying the bride's dowry. In front of the groom's date red horse, there was a person holding the bride's dressing box. The bride was in the sedan chair in front, but because of the curtain, we couldn't see the bride's face. Behind the palanquin was a porter carrying a load of fish, probably to express the bride's family's wishes for her husband to be rich and have fish (Yu).
I was just strolling around leisurely, occasionally chatting with the people in the same industry as me. I felt that this place was really interesting and creative. As I walked, I realized that this place was very familiar, but I was sure that I had never been here before. This feeling was very strange. I was about to ask Su Dongpo where this place was and why I had a feeling of deja vu. Suddenly, I saw a teahouse on my left. There was a farmhouse beside the teahouse with two cows. I immediately remembered that I had never been to this place before, but I had indeed seen it before. This place was imagined according to the original painting of Along the River during the Qingming Festival.
Su Dongpo must have liked that painting very much to be so familiar with it in his mind. I looked around and smiled. Su Dongpo also saw it and said to me,"Emissary Yuan, you should have guessed where this is."
I smiled and nodded. I didn't expect Senior Su to be able to imagine this place in such detail. Zhao Dan and the rest looked at me and said,"You've been here before?"
I said, I've never been here, but I've seen it in the painting?
In the painting? Which painting had these?
You've all heard of the Along the River During the Qingming Festival, right? Senior Su used his thoughts to set up this place according to the original picture of the Along the River During the Qingming Festival. It's really creative. We were lucky enough to visit this national treasure painting.
Everyone seemed to have woken up from a dream and began to re-examine this place. This place could not compare to a modern city, but everything gave people a warm and peaceful feeling.
Wang Rong came forward and said to Su Dongpo, Senior, can we still look around?
Su Dongpo shook his head and said," My imagination can only make my surroundings like the Along the River during the Qingming Festival. If it's too far away, my imagination can't reach it."
Wang Rong nodded and said that it was amazing enough. He didn't expect that he could play like this here.
Wang Xinya came up and said to Su Dongpo,"This is too creative. Is this your proudest work?"
Su Dongpo shook his head with a smile and said,"This is not my proudest work, but I like it here very much."
Then can you show us what you're most proud of?
I felt that it was a bit difficult for Su Dongpo, but I also wanted to see what other ways to play, so I didn't stop him.
Su Dongpo said with a smile," You are rushing at the right time. I am here today to complete a large-scale project with my father and brother. They will be here soon."
He was really lucky today. Not only was he able to meet Su Shi, but he was also able to meet Su Xun and Su Zhe.
Just as we were thinking, Su Dongpo told us that his father and brother had arrived at the pavilion just now. The six of us followed Su Dongpo to the pavilion. Su Xun and Su Zhe were already drinking water and chatting in the pavilion. Seeing so many people come down, they were also puzzled.
Su Dongpo calmly introduced and explained.
The six of us juniors hurriedly went forward to salute.
After Su Xun knew our purpose of coming, he also politely welcomed them to visit their creativity, but he would have to wait for them for a while. If we can appreciate the special creativity, we are of course willing to wait.
Su Xun, Su Dongpo, and Su Zhe cleared the tea table in the pavilion. Then, a miniature three-dimensional Red Cliff blueprint appeared on the table. The three of them worked together from the beginning to the end, planning every detail and their corresponding imagination.
Ten minutes later, Sansu began their performance.
The original scenery here had disappeared and returned to its original appearance.
Su Shi reminded everyone to get ready. The next experience would be very exciting.
After the three Sus stood in a triangular formation, Su Xun raised his hand to signal the start.
Our surroundings instantly became the scene of the Yangtze River, and flames soared into the sky. There were more than 100,000 troops fighting on the river and land. According to Su Shi's introduction, this was the ancient Red Cliff battlefield they had imagined, which was now in Huanggang City's Huangzhou District. Of course, there was also Wu Chibi's theory that Red Cliff's battlefield should be in Xianning City in Hubei. Of course, we are not interested in studying this, but only to appreciate the thrilling ancient wars.
The scene was very grand, and it seemed that Sansu's imagination was exhausted. The few of us were among them, and there were scenes of soldiers from both sides fighting. They raised their sabers and spears, killing each other mercilessly. Although we knew that all of this was just our imagination and wouldn't hurt us, watching the battle up close still left us with a lingering fear. The ladies were basically snuggling up to their boyfriends 'chests. Even the men would blush and their hearts would beat faster.
Sansu's imagination was really good. Every detail in the vicinity was well designed, and the details in the distance were also rendered just right. Although he was imagining a real war, Sansu's imagination tried to avoid bloodshed and killing scenes, as well as scenes of people being burned to death. Therefore, we can still hold on, but it's also exciting enough.
Many boats on the river were also on fire. Because of the strong wind, the fire was still growing. We even felt the heat. We followed Su Dongpo and the other two along the river bank from west to east. The battle scene around us kept changing. After more than ten minutes, the army on the south bank of the Yangtze River, the Sun Liu coalition army, had the upper hand and killed all the way.
The scene was so grand and shocking that it was hard to believe that it was done by the imagination of the three of them. Su Xun also wiped the sweat from his forehead from time to time. It seemed that this also consumed a lot of his energy. However, the three of them seemed to be enjoying themselves. We didn't dare to disturb them, afraid that we would disturb them.
Although I had transmigrated many times, I still felt a lingering fear from watching such a near-real battle at such a close distance. Liu Xin was the calmest. It seemed that he had really experienced a lot. The other four people were feeling very uncomfortable. They had never fought before, so it was a little difficult for them to watch such a realistic cold weapon fight. Fortunately, it did not take long for Sansu's demonstration to end.
Sansu was also very tired. After a short pause, I stepped forward and said,"Senior Su, it's our honor to be able to get to know you and appreciate your rich imagination. It's really an honor. It's really wonderful."
Su Xun smiled and said," This is the best activity in the leisure center. We love to come here to play." There are many other ways to play, and we can be considered to be throwing out bricks to attract jade.
Liu Xin added,"You're too humble." Your war film is much better than any film I've ever seen. Perhaps you lived in our era and there wouldn't be any directors.
Zhao Dan was obviously not satisfied with being able to meet literary giants like Su Dongpo, Su Xun, and Su Zhe. He stepped forward and said. The three seniors Su could display their imagination so vividly. It was really amazing. You've really put in a lot of effort. Why don't we go to the pavilion over there and rest? Su Xun said," Let Su Shi go. Su Zhe and I still have some other things to do."
We no longer forced ourselves and went to the pavilion where Su Dongpo had stopped. After sitting around, the servants brought by Su Dongpo brought a tea tray and a fruit plate. On the tea tray were a teapot and seven teacups. Zhao Dan poured a cup of tea for Su Dongpo first, then poured a cup of tea for everyone.
As soon as the tea was poured, it was filled with fragrance. Moreover, the fragrance was elegant, a little like osmanthus fragrance. I seem to have drunk this tea in the original universe. If I'm not mistaken, this should be Wuyi Da Hong Pao, and it should be made according to the Nine Dragon Nest Mother Tree. It was said that the mother tree could no longer be picked in the real world. Even if one had money, they could not buy it. This tea was not that rare here, but it was still precious enough.
After Su Dongpo drank two mouthfuls, we also began to taste it. Everyone was not very good at tasting tea, but they were all full of praise for this tea. I don't have much knowledge about tea, but I feel that the taste is especially good. There is a pleasant and lively feeling in the fragrance.
Now, everyone was not as restrained as before and began to chat. Although it was said to be a chat, in fact, most of the time, it was us who asked Su Dongpo for advice.
I asked Su Dongpo,"Senior Su, your literary and artistic achievements are needless to say. What I admire most about you is that you can maintain the strength of a poet at all times, especially in adversity. You still try your best to live in poetry. How do you maintain your good attitude in adversity?"
Su Dongpo took another sip of tea and said with a smile. People in good times were naturally happy, and people in bad times were naturally sad. This was the law of nature. One's attitude in adversity was partially determined by one's personality, which was what modern society called genes. Some people were filled with optimism and had strong resistance to blows, while others were the opposite. This could not be forced. However, nurturing was also very important. Reality proved that character and mentality could be tempered. The best way to look at adversity was to look at it from two perspectives. One was to look at the adversity from a higher perspective. Many adversity, including troubles and worries, are nothing compared to the classic inspirational stories of birth, aging, illness, and death. As you often say, if you have a big heart, things will be small. The other mentality was that many adversity experiences were the most precious wealth in life, and at the same time, they were also opportunities for life transformation. No education could compare to adversity education.
We all fell into deep thought and nodded.
After a while, Liu Xin continued to ask. When we read history, we had a high evaluation of Wang Anshi's reform. Wang Anshi, along with Shang Yang and Zhang Juzheng, was also rated as one of the three great reformers in ancient China. But why did you oppose Wang Anshi's reform at that time?
This question was not easy to answer. To be honest, I felt that Liu Xin was somewhat rash to ask such a question to the person I admired the most.
However, Su Dongpo didn't seem to care. He still smiled and said,"I didn't oppose the reform at first, but after the reform, I found that some of the methods in the reform were not suitable for the actual situation. The gap between the advancement of the reform and the backwardness of the society was too big. Moreover, some of them were eager for quick success and instant benefits, causing the country to be rich and the people to be poor and the people to live in poverty." Of course, there was also the famous Wutai Poetry Case. However, Sima Guang later rejected the reform, and I was against it. In fact, reform and reform were the same. One could not reform for the sake of reform and reform for the sake of reform. The ultimate goal of reform and reform was the prosperity of the country, the happiness of the people, and the progress of society. If these ultimate goals were violated, it would be better not to change. If not, at least the continuity and predictability of the policy could be maintained. All of this required exploration and practice. One couldn't rush for success and achieve it overnight.
Su Dongpo was a famous ancient man who could be friends with emperors or beggars. He was easy-going, humorous, and did not lose his demeanor. No wonder many people said that if they could only find an ancient person to be friends with, they would definitely choose Su Dongpo. We were also deeply impressed by Su Dongpo's charm. In the real world, people like to sign their names when they see celebrities, and so do we.
After we made our request, Su Dongpo agreed. He splashed ink on the spot and wrote the famous Red Cliff Ode and gave it to us.
If this were to be taken out, it would definitely be a priceless treasure, but that's impossible. We can only collect this calligraphy treasure at my home here.
