Chapter 1 The Emperor's Expedition to the West

The sky and the mountains, the wind and sand, the magnificent river winds down the Qilian Mountains like a dragon

Cheng Zhiyuan was carrying his luggage and stood on the endless field. Looking at the endless towering huge mountains, he couldn't help but feel excited, just wanting to open his arms and embrace Gao Tian.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

The sun shines, and the dark side of the mountains is reflected deeper, and it looks like it has come alive, like a magnificent ancient god with a blue sky above his head and a foot on the earth, overlooking the vast world.

Since we are coming to Qilian Mountain, we need to do some homework on the knowledge of the "Hexi Corridor" and the "Ancient Silk Road", especially for a "beautiful legend".

The word Qilian means heaven in ancient times.

"White clouds are in the sky, the mountain monuments come out, the road is far away, and the mountains and rivers are among them. If you are not dead, you can still come back."

"I will return to the East and govern the Xia people, and all the people will be equal. I will see you, and after three years, I will return to the wilderness."

This is the gift from King Mu of Zhou who drove eight horses to the Yellow Emperor Palace and met with Queen Mother of the West, and expressed his admiration for each other, which was full of romantic philosophy unique to ancient people.

Although this is an absolute critical blow to Cheng Zhiyuan, who is still a single at the age of 24.

When will you encounter this kind of romantic love?

Cheng Zhiyuan's eyes suddenly turned into dead fish, and he thought to himself that this was probably a long way off.

"Hey, brother, these two words are about King Mu of Zhou meeting with Queen Mother of the West?"

The sudden sound made Cheng Zhiyuan turn his head, and what he saw was a handsome man who seemed to be different from him.

A guy who was tightly wrapped, carrying a big bag on his back, two military kettles on his waist, he wore a knitted hat on his head, a scarf on his neck, and a thick sunglasses, although it was exposed

He had a complete face, but if he put this outfit in the mainland, he would actually be teased by others like a robber.

Of course, Cheng Zhiyuan would not say that he actually cared about love stories and read them naturally, saying:

"I just saw it a little, but I think it's very interesting. The ancient philosophical view and worldview are actually very inspiring to modern people."

The man nodded, then suddenly grinned:

"It is indeed beneficial to read more books, but in fact, the story of King Mu of Zhou meeting with Queen Mother of the West is half true and half false. Liezi's book says that the reason why he went to meet Queen Mother of the West was that he was bewitched by the transformed people."

Cheng Zhiyuan was stunned: "Change a person?"

He nodded: "Yes, the transformed man. The name of this person is not recorded in Liezi. I only know that he is a visitor from the west."

"The illusionist made King Mu of Zhou see the palace of the imperial town where Juntian, Qingwei and other Emperors lived. So King Mu of Zhou thought his country was too small, and the surrounding palace buildings were like earthen platforms, so he gave up despite the dissuasion of the ministers.

The state affairs are heading towards the west."

"He arrived at the palace of Huangdi, and then came to the Yaochi of Queen Mother of the West. Finally, he saw the sun entering Yuyuan. After walking ten thousand miles a day, he was quiet and said to himself: "I do not practice morality but only know how to enjoy, and people in the future will inevitably condemn you."

My sin', so I went back."

The man smiled and said, "It seems that King Mu of Zhou should be dreaming to a large extent. Zhuangzi said, I dream of butterflies, butterflies dream of me, is it a human or a butterfly?"

Cheng Zhiyuan was interested: "I met my name, what about you?"

The man smiled: "Li Taiyi, the clothes in the clothes are not one or two."

The two of them passed each other's names and continued to talk about the topic just now.

Cheng Zhiyuan said: "I think King Mu of Zhou should have arrived at the Queen Mother Kingdom of the West, but it is not as magical as it is said. In reality, it is just a plateau tribe, but in the story of Liezi, the most important thing is the illusion.

Man? So who is he?"

Li Taiyi shook her head and sighed: "Who is it? I don't know either. I guess I will only know after the time machine comes out and ask Lie Yuko! Because Liezi is a person who writes casually! Hahaha, the so-called

Life is like a dream, butterflies dream butterflies dance. Lie Yukou inherits Laozi and Zhuang Zhou. Most of the books of Zhuang Zhou and Lie Yukou are warned of the world and the emperor."

"By the way, when it comes to dreams, have you read the whole article of Zhuangzi?"

Cheng Zhiyuan shook his head: "Well...... I turned it over a little bit, but I really don't know as much as you know."

Li Taiyi nodded. He took off the backpack behind him, searched inside, and then took out a book.

It is a bit old, just like an out-of-print collection made by a printing factory in the 1980s.

"Good thing, I'm giving you this book "Zhuangzi"."

Cheng Zhiyuan looked at the book and said strangely: "No, I have this, thank you for your kindness."

Li Taiyi's eyes bent, and her handsome face looked even better in the sun. He smiled and said:

"Don't draw conclusions easily, do you know, this thing is only 30 yuan on Taobao, so it's naturally cheap. Of course you will find ancient Chinese, but my book is very good, and it's different from other ones!

There is a lost article, which is a good thing that cannot be bought on the market."

Cheng Zhiyuan was stunned and said in surprise: "I heard that Zhuangzi originally had fifty-two articles, but later he lost a lot, only thirty-three articles left. The country scholars have not yet found all of the latter. How could you have this?



With curiosity and suspicion, Li Taiyi's cell phone suddenly rang at this moment.

The sound is strange, like a chime, jingling.

After forty-nine times, a particularly loud bell rang, and Cheng Zhiyuan reminded him, but this guy seemed to have waited until the big bell rang before he picked up his phone.

"Okay... OK, go back now."

He hung up his phone and said to Cheng Zhiyuan: "Oh, there is another thing, do you know what year this year is?"

Cheng Zhiyuan was slightly stunned: "This year? Isn't it 2018?"

Li Taiyi said oh and waved her hand: "Is that right? 2018, then that's it, I'll leave first, I'll put this book here, remember, reading it before going to bed at night will help you sleep,

Then, I wish you a smooth journey and a smooth journey.”

But when you start to speak, you have an inexplicable sense of meaning.

"Oh...oh, it's a good journey."

Cheng Zhiyuan sent Li Taiyi away, who actually rode a modified motorcycle. He was extremely coquettish and rode his way. He immediately made many people around him eat their mouths full of dust and curse.

In a vague way, I could hear him shouting something, as if it was Xu, and Xi...

"This guy...what's calling out to ghosts...then this book-"

Cheng Zhiyuan pulled the corner of his mouth and shook his head.

——

At night, Cheng Zhiyuan returned to the hotel here. Outside, you can clearly see the dark shadows standing in the night of Qilian Mountain, majestic and majestic, still as magnificent as a god.

With doubt and curiosity in mind, Cheng Zhiyuan opened the book "Zhuangzi".

To be honest, he has this book at home, but it has not been bought for a long time, so he only read it a little bit. Moreover, Cheng Zhiyuan has a habit of reading physical books. He first reads the first chapter, and then reads the comparison.

Later, I will randomly read a few articles.

So, since I bought it, I have read the three articles "Xiaoyaoyou", "Fisherman" and "Baozhi".

This 1980s version of Zhuangzi even has comments on Li Taiyi's proofreading. To be honest, the handwriting is quite beautiful.

"Where did you see last time? Thomas...behind is... Saying Sword?"

Cheng Zhiyuan touched his chin, but had no decision, so he just started to look at it.

"Follow the sword to read, and then start looking at it from the inner chapter."

There are not many articles, but this time, Cheng Zhiyuan suddenly realized that it was a bit difficult to read.

It was obviously just a matter of admonishing the king, but the more I read it, the more I felt more and more laborious. Until the last word, when Cheng Zhiyuan finished reading it, his upper and lower eyelids were trembling.

The watch on the wrist ticked.

He felt a little dizzy in his head, so he lay down.

The sleepiness swept over in an instant, and the five-colored world spread like clouds.

A crystal clear butterfly stayed at the tip of his nose.

Then, the rest of the colors faded, blue, white, black and red... and the last thing left, the sound of galloping horse hooves in the rolling yellow dust like a huge wave.

.........

A white bone horse, pulling an empty gold and copper chariot, drove towards Cheng Zhiyuan from the end of that day in a dream, until he arrived in front of him, slowly paced up and stopped.

Cheng Zhiyuan's expression was a little dazed. His body moved uncontrollably and boarded the gold and bronze chariot.

The white bone horse made a dull sound and ran briskly again.

It's getting faster and faster, and never stopped.

It carries Cheng Zhiyuan, from the end of the sky, stepping through the blue dust from the yellow dust, and sailing to the other side of the sky.
