The white jade capital in the sky has five cities on the twelfth floor.
The immortal caressed my head, and my hair was knotted, so I could live forever.
Wandering away from worldly pleasures leads to confusion and confusion.
The ninety-six saint kings have empty names in the clouds.
The world is a gamble, but the war cannot be forgotten.
Try to engage in the overlord strategy, and the general will be crowned with glory.
The fate of the time is a big mistake, and I abandoned it and sailed on the sea.
If you learn to translate the sword from the sword, how can you become a writer?
The sword cannot be defeated by ten thousand people, but the writing can be heard all over the world.
Child's play is trivial, and I left Xijing at five o'clock.
When I was about to leave, I burst into tears.

——An excerpt from "After the chaos, Tianenliu Yelang recalled his old travels and wrote a gift to the good minister of Wei, the prefect of Jiangxia" by Li Bai
…
Seeing that the atmosphere relaxed, Boniadi slowly revealed the answer to the mystery.
Boniadi said: "In Persia, a hundred years ago, a wise man who shocked the past and present was born. He was called Khwarizmi. He was known as the 'House of Wisdom in Baghdad' and was the chief elder of our Persian Wisdom Palace.
Al-Khwarizmi traveled to India to study in his youth and was a rare all-around wise man. He had great attainments in martial arts, numerology, Kanyu, astrology, alchemy, etc.
Al-Khwarizmi is an unparalleled martial arts prodigy. He has practiced the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Kung Fu to the eleventh level. He is unrivaled in Persia, Dashi, and India.
Al-Khwarizmi became famous for his work "Shu Dao", which introduced Indian numerals to Persia.
In order to accurately measure the stars, directions and time so that believers can worship in the exact direction at the exact time, Khwarizmi expanded the scope of the stars that have been passed down for hundreds of years.
In order to observe the starry sky, Khwarazmi also invented the quadrant and the sine and cosine numbers for calculating stars.
At the same time, Khwarizmi was proficient in Kanyu and was good at drawing maps. He clearly marked the locations of the countries and city-states in the Western Regions, the great rivers, and the topography on the map.
During the period of King Kusa and Persia, there was civil strife in Persia. Khwarizmi offended the Persian king and the Palace of Wisdom was burned down. Khwarazmi followed the envoy of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Yunqi Wei Li Yu, into the Sui Dynasty.
A few years later, Emperor Yang's tyranny led to great chaos in the world and the demise of the Sui Dynasty. There has been no news from Khorezmi since then.
Later, the last king of Persia, Yisi, was defeated by Dashi and fled to Mulu City in Tochara, where he was killed and the Sasanian Empire perished.
At this time, Khwarizmi wrote down his insights in his later years on parchment scrolls. After these three parchment scrolls were sent back to Persia, they shocked the entire food world.
The Persian royal family reflected that if Khwarizmi was still there, how could Persia be destroyed by the Great Eclipse. Even if Khwarizmi passed away, if his disciples or all his works were found, Persia could be revived.
As a result, the Persian royal family began to search for Khwarizmi in the Tang Dynasty. Although the Persian royal family knew that Khwarizmi was hidden in the Tang Dynasty, they knew nothing about where he lived.
During the reign of Emperor Xianheng of Emperor Gaozong, Prince Belusi, the son of Yi Siqi, and others took refuge in Chang'an, where he was awarded the title of General Youwuwei. Later, he died in Chang'an. Throughout his life, he never found out about the whereabouts of Khwarizmi.
In the first year of Emperor Gaozong's Tiaolu, Master Ninie, the legitimate son of Prince Belus, returned to China for restoration under the escort of the Tang army. However, it failed and he stayed in Tocharo for more than 20 years. In the second year of Jinglong, Emperor Zhongzong, Master Ninie returned to Chang'an.
He was awarded the title of General Zuoweiwei, and later died in China. Throughout his life, he never found out the whereabouts of Khorezmi's disciples or his works.
Just when my people gave up hope of finding the whereabouts of Khwarezmi, they unexpectedly discovered clues from the poems of Li Bai, the poet of the Tang Dynasty.
After Li Bai's poems were introduced to Persia with Sogdian merchants, we learned that Khwarizmi did not die in the war in the late Sui Dynasty, but hid in the residence of Li Jiancheng, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.
The story was full of twists and turns, and Bai Fu became interested and asked: "Why did Khwarazmi not seek refuge with Emperor Taizu or the King of Qin, but chose to hide from the crown prince?"
Poniadi said: "Khwarizmi believed that Li Jiancheng was the reincarnation of King Bishamon, so he changed Li Jiancheng's name to Bishamon and served Prince Yin for the rest of his life.
At that time, the prince Li Jiancheng and the King of Qin Li Shimin fought to the death. For safety reasons, Li Jiancheng hid his son among the people and let Huarazi take care of him and raise him secretly.
In the ninth year of Wude, during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Prince Yin Li Jiancheng was killed by Li Shimin at the age of thirty-eight. His five sons were also killed.
Khwarazmi took Li Jiancheng's only remaining son and fled Chang'an overnight, fled to the Western Regions, and finally settled in Suiye.
Li Shimin learned that another child had slipped through the net, and asked Li Jing, Su Dingfang and other frontier generals to find this child and eradicate it.
But firstly, in the vastness of the Western Region, finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Secondly, in order to recruit brothers Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, Xue Wanche, Xue Wanjun and others, he ordered them to swear loyalty to the death so as to show his kindness. Thirdly, Li Jing deliberately delayed. Li Jing was asked that year
It was Li Jiancheng who beheaded and supervised the beheading. Li Jiancheng spared his life, and Li Jing was able to survive.
…
As time passed, as the Xuanwu Gate incident slowly faded out of people's hearts, Emperor Taizong finally gave up this idea.
In the second year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong issued a decree to posthumously confer Li Jiancheng as King Xi. In the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, he posthumously conferred the title of Prince, with the posthumous title of Yin."
When talking about the relationship between Prince Yin and King Bishamon, Sun Dashan smiled and added: ""The Origin of the Shi Family" records: 'When the soldiers rebelled, gods and men would work together to put an end to the chaos. Wei Taizong achieved great success.'
'In the past, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty revolted from his great ancestor. A god came forward and claimed to be King Bishamon. He wanted to work together to put an end to the chaos. He used the pig's head and the elephant's trunk, so he succeeded. When he ascended the throne, he was ordered to be worshiped by all the princes in the world.
'
It means that when Emperor Gaozu raised his army, a god who claimed to be King Bishamon vowed to join forces to quell the chaos. He had god generals with pig heads and elephant trunks, and protected the Tang army invincibly. After Emperor Taizong came to the throne, he issued an edict that every state in the world should offer sacrifices to Bishamon.
The god of Samana.
This King Bishamon alludes to Prince Yin. If I guessed correctly, this divine general with a pig's head and an elephant's trunk is Khwarizmi.
In addition, "Cefu Yuangui" records: "Emperor Taizong first placed Bishamon God and merit in Penglai Hall."
From these records, it can be seen that Emperor Taizong felt guilty in his later years and enshrined the statue of Bishamon and his merits in the Penglai Hall where he lived.
…
When Emperor Xuanzong was young, he was able to put down many troubles due to the protection of King Bishamonten, so he ordered the Tang army to enshrine it. The Tang army all drew flags in the image of King Bishamonten, which was called "Tianwang Banner".
To bless martial arts prosperity.
It is recorded in "The Rituals of the Protector of the Northern King Bishamon" translated by Master Fu Kong Tripitaka:
'In the first year of Tianbao, Anxi City was besieged by the Tibetan army. King Bishamon appeared on the north gate of the city, shining brightly. There were also "golden rats" biting the enemy's bow strings, and three to five hundred magic soldiers wearing golden armor and beating drums made a shocking sound.
Three hundred miles later, the earth shook and mountains collapsed, and the Tibetan army was defeated. Anxi sent a memorial, and Xuanzong was so pleased that he ordered all the state and state governments to place statues of the Heavenly King in the northwest corner of the city tower to support him.'
King Bishamonten is the King of Hearing. At that time, King Bishamonten's reputation was great and his incense was extremely popular."
…
After Sun Dashan finished his supplement, Boniadi continued: "When Xuanzong ascended the throne, a hundred years had passed since the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and Prince Yin's lineage no longer posed a threat to the imperial power.
In addition, Emperor Xuanzong respected King Bishamon, so Prince Yin's lineage returned to the Tang Dynasty from Broken Leaf. Fallen Leaf returned to its roots and hid in Qinglian Township, Changming, Mianzhou, Jiannan Road, Western Shu.
Li Bai is the great-great-grandson of Prince Yin Li Jiancheng. The order of his genealogy is Li Yuan—Li Jiancheng—Li Chengzong—Chengzong’s son—Li Ke—Li Bai.”
…
"Ah!" This past incident was so bizarre that even though Bai Fu was prepared, he couldn't help but exclaimed.
Bai Fu asked: "How do you know Li Bai's life experience?"
Tu Xingsun smiled awkwardly and said: "I stole into Prince Yin's tomb and read the secret documents inside, including Emperor Taizong's personal handwriting.
Of course, I just looked through the evidence and didn’t take anything.”
"That only proves that Prince Yin has heirs, but it doesn't prove that Li Bai is the descendant of Prince Yin?" Bai Fu asked.
Boniadi smiled slyly and said: "I tied up the banished immortal and concealed the truth!"
…
Bai Fu was both angry and happy. Anyone who could treat the poets of the Tang Dynasty like this must not be from the Tang Dynasty.
