Origin Story
话说唐朝时期，有个书生名叫李白，为了寻找一位隐居山林的世外高人，千里迢迢来到了深山老林。他沿着崎岖的山路，跋山涉水，寻找着那位高人的踪迹。可是，他问遍了山中的村民，却没有人知道那位高人的下落，只说曾经见过一个穿着白衣，仙风道骨的老人，在山里采药，从此就杳无音信了。李白失望至极，只能默默地叹息，他不知道那位高人究竟去了哪里，也不知道何时才能再次见到他，心中充满了遗憾和无奈。他怀着失落的心情，离开了深山老林，继续他漫漫求学的路程。
In the Tang Dynasty, there was a scholar named Li Bai. In order to find a hermit living in the mountains, he traveled thousands of miles to the deep mountains and old forests. He followed the rugged mountain paths, crossing mountains and rivers, searching for the hermit's tracks. However, he asked all the villagers in the mountains, but no one knew the hermit's whereabouts, only saying that they had once seen an old man in white clothes, with a fairy-like appearance, collecting herbs in the mountains, and since then there has been no news of him. Li Bai was extremely disappointed and could only sigh silently. He didn't know where the hermit had gone, nor when he would see him again. His heart was filled with regret and helplessness. With a feeling of loss, he left the deep mountains and old forests and continued his long journey of learning.
