The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 111: Winning·Survival in the Wilderness·Politics
Bai Zhi looked sideways and saw that Ying Zheng's clothes were quite messy, but he had obviously put some effort into organizing them. At the same time, he also heard a drumming sound coming from Ying Zheng's stomach.

Obviously, Ying Zheng was specially waiting for his return to pick the wild fruits, and he also first honored himself as his master.

Bai Zhi did not eat, but said bluntly: "There is no need to pay attention to these false etiquette here. The wild fruits you picked yourself can be eaten directly!"

Ignoring Ying Zheng's disappointed look, Bai Zhi continued: "Be careful, the sky is getting dark and your house has not been built yet. If it is a little later, I'm afraid you will have to spend the night outdoors!"

Speaking of this, Bai Zhi thought of the time when he taught Princess Xia.

"Boys and girls are taught in different ways..."

"Yes!"

Sure enough, after listening to Bai Zhi's urging, Ying Zheng didn't care about respecting teachers or aristocratic etiquette. He immediately grabbed a few cleaned and slightly smaller wild fruits and stuffed them into his mouth, then stood up and walked into the forest.

Bai Zhi showed a childish look, and then gave Ta Xue a look. Ta Xue still had a wild fruit in his mouth. Unexpectedly, Ta Xue, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually ate the wild fruit picked by a child.

Ta Xue was stunned for a moment, swallowed the wild fruit into his belly with a grunt, and then followed Ying Zheng in a hurry.

Bai Zhi returned to his lair and once again realized the gains of this evolution.

This evolution has perfectly completed the evolutionary stage of the word "Li".

But Bai Zhi didn't know which word it would be next.

Perhaps, we have to wait until someone with corresponding character appears before the next round of evolution can begin.

The long history, thousands of years, is a long time, so there is no rush.

…………

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"..."

In the valley, there were sudden sounds of banging. Bai Zhi looked down and saw Ying Zheng, who was sweating on his face, hitting wood with rocks.

Then look at the house built by Ying Zheng...

Bai Zhi didn't look at it.

Not bad though.

The whole thing is like a small tomb. Although Ying Zheng carefully raised the ground with branches to prevent people from sleeping in it and getting wet, the thermal insulation effect does not look very good.

It was midsummer at this time, and the weather was hot. Even though it was in the mountains, it could not help but be a little cold. Ying Zheng built it like this, and it was habitable.

At this time, Ying Zheng threw down the stones in his hands, went to the woods to pick up some hay, and spread it inside and outside the house to keep warm.

He looked at it for a moment and made sure there was nothing missing. Then he looked up at Bai Zhi and said, "Master, is this good?"

"You live by yourself, it's up to you to decide whether it's good or not!"

Bai Zhi said this.

Hearing this, Ying Zheng was stunned, and immediately went into the woods again, picked up some hay, and decorated his house.

After finishing his work, it was getting late, and it was getting darker in the mountains. Ying Zheng immediately went into the woods and picked some wild fruits for dinner.

It was indeed getting late, so Bai Zhi did not torment the human cub again, letting Ying Zheng go to sleep and went to rest himself.

The moon shines like water, and the night is quiet.

In the valley where the water flows, a sycamore tree stands quietly. There are wooden houses standing above and under the tree. The people, birds and horses in the wooden houses have fallen asleep.

Time passes, the Jade Rabbit falls, and the Golden Crow rises in the east.

The warm sunshine fell on the green grass, and a faint mist rose up, floating in the valley.The grass is green, and crystal dewdrops hang on the green leaves, reflecting beautiful light in the morning sun.

In the low wooden house, a young man came out sleepily. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately went to wash up in the stream nearby and tidy up his personal hygiene.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi looked satisfied, at least he didn't let himself wake him up.

Seeing that Ying Zheng had finished washing up, Bai Zhi flew out, looked at Ying Zheng and said, "There is nothing to do today, but your mission is to survive in this mountain forest!"

After all, this is a step-by-step process. Let Ying Zheng survive in the mountains and forests first, and then talk about other things.

As for the purpose, it is actually very simple, which is to make Ying Zheng understand the difficulty of a person's survival, so that he will not be unaware of the hardships of the people in the future.

After hearing Bai Zhi's words, Ying Zheng showed a determined look on his face and nodded heavily at the same time.

Ying Zheng was smart. He had actually guessed Bai Zhi's intentions last night and understood what he would face today.

Seeing Ying Zheng nodding, Bai Zhi didn't just look on the other side. He pointed to the residence built by Ying Zheng and said bluntly: "The house you built is too crude. It will inevitably be rebuilt in the future. It will be okay if it can last for ten days." , the next time you come back, you are allowed to bring some tools, but if you can’t last ten days and encounter cloudy and rainy days, it’s all up to you!”

After saying that, Bai Zhi said no more and flew back to the sycamore tree again.

In Bai Zhi's view, boys should be trained in this way to make them self-reliant and self-reliant. Only when they achieve the goal of self-reliance and self-reliance in life and character will it be helpful in dealing with other things.

Even thinking about things will become more comprehensive and detailed.

"only!"

Ying Zheng saluted respectfully and had no objections to Bai Zhi's arrangement. Then he walked into the forest and started his day.

Ta Xue followed from a distance to ensure that Ying Zheng would not be in danger.

Time passed, and a whole morning passed. Ying Zheng originally planned to hunt some wild game to eat, but he did not have the ability at all. In the end, he still looked for wild fruits to satisfy his hunger.

As for lunch, he was currently working on it.

Since the small beasts running in the mountains and forests could not be caught, Ying Zheng focused his attention on the water.

In the valley, there happens to be a small stream. The water is so clear that the bluestone seems to be low, and the fish in the water seem to be swimming in nothingness.

Although he would not eat a lot of meat in the Qin Palace, he was precocious and knew that his young self needed meat.

Bai Zhi looked at Ying Zheng fishing in shallow water with great interest.Suddenly he looked up at the sky and saw the bright sun shining high in the sky, and the sky was clear, but he whispered: "It will rain, and it won't be light!"

He subconsciously wanted to remind Ying Zheng, but stopped.

Sudden encounters can test and temper a person even more, so Bai Zhi said nothing more and watched coldly.

……

At this time, Ying Zheng had made a circle with stones in the shallow water of the stream and left an opening to allow fish to swim in.

"You just need to wait for a while, wait for the fish to swim in by itself, and then block the entrance by itself, then the fish will be the turtle in the urn!"

Ying Zheng thought so in his heart.

After finishing these tasks, Ying Zheng went ashore again and ran into the mountains and forests. In the morning, after being instructed by his master, the house he built was not good and could not withstand the rain, so he planned to repair it again.

If it doesn't work, then build it again.

In a moment, he collected a lot of branches. When he went deep into the woods again, he suddenly found a patch of green in front of him, and a look of joy appeared on his face:
"bamboo!"

Ahead, there was a large bamboo forest, which made Ying Zheng ecstatic.

With bamboo, it is much easier to build a house, and it also helps a lot with other things.

He quickly ran over, cut down a few bamboos, and dragged them back.

Then, Ying Zheng got a headache again.

Because he did not have sharp tools, he could not trim the bamboo again. In addition, the bamboo was tough and difficult to handle, which made it even more difficult.

In desperation, he could only put the bamboo aside and turn to the stream to see if his trap had caught fish.

The next moment, cheers came from the stream, attracting Bai Zhi's side glances.

…………

Seeing that Ying Zheng finally caught the fish, Bai Zhi stopped watching. His figure flashed and reappeared in the Qin Palace.

Prince Chu of Qin saw the divine bird appear and immediately greeted him.Then he said: "Back to the Divine Bird, I have collected all the opinions from hundreds of schools of thought. I wonder when the Divine Bird will watch?"

"Then now!"

Bai Zhi came here this time for this matter. Since King Qin took the initiative, he saved himself the trouble of asking again.

Then, I saw a waiter walking in carrying a large number of bamboo slips. The stacks of bamboo slips were piled up like a hill.

But I heard Prince Chu of Qin introduce from the side: "These are the words of hundreds of schools of thought, among which Confucianism is the most popular!"

Prince Chu of Qin pointed to a pile of bamboo slips and then pointed to another pile, "These are Legalist books..."

In a short time, there were more than a dozen piles of bamboo slips in Zhangtai Palace. Of course, some of the bamboo slips contained several works, because there were too few works by some famous writers.

No wonder Prince Chu of Qin said the most about Confucianism just now.

After all, most people study Confucianism.

Among the Six Kingdoms, Qi governs the country according to Confucianism.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi nodded with satisfaction, and then, under the shocked gazes of Prince Qin Chu and many waiters and maids, he waved his wings, and many bamboo slips in the palace disappeared in an instant.

Afterwards, Bai Zhi ignored the shocked looks of others, spoke to Prince Qin Chu, and planned to leave.

However, he stopped again, looked at the sword-wielding palace guard on the side, came to the side of the flattered Qin Ruishi, and said: "Give me your sword!"

"Here!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ruishi excitedly took off the sword from his waist and handed it to Bai Zhi.

Similarly, Bai Zhi waved his wings and Qin Jian also disappeared. This time, Bai Zhi's figure truly disappeared into Zhangtai Palace.

Everyone was left in shock. …

In the valley of Lishan Mountain.

Bai Zhi's figure appeared again. He looked down and saw that Ying Zheng had already lit a fire and grilled fish.

At this time, he was feasting on a fish.Bai Zhi, who was greedy on the side, kicked his head.

However, Ying Zheng was not a stingy person and immediately gave Taxue a small one.

Texue tasted it and immediately vomited it out, looking at Ying Zheng eating the fish with disgust.

"Master!"

Seeing Bai Zhi appear again, Ying Zheng had a look of surprise on his face.

"Ok!"

Bai Zhi nodded slightly, and then, a Qin sword appeared out of thin air. The scabbard shot directly into the bluestone on the ground and was inserted into it.

"This Qin Sword is given to you as a tool. After all, without tools, many things cannot be done."

The biggest difference between humans and other animals is that they can use tools. Bai Zheng is just training Ying Zheng, not letting him return the rent.

Providing some tools is also the most basic.

Later, Bai Zhi took out a carefully selected bamboo slip from the invisible world and handed it to Ying Zheng, saying: "This is a Confucian saying. It is the words and deeds of Confucius that were recorded by many disciples of Confucius based on their memory. I hope you will read it deeply, and I will test you every day!"

"only!"

After taking the bamboo slips, Ying Zheng placed them in his low house with great care.After all, this is not the time to study.

Bai Zhi pointed to Qin Jian beside him and said: "Use this long sword to repair your house quickly or rebuild it. In the evening, there will be rain. This time the rain will not be light and will continue." Lasts until tomorrow afternoon!”

"It rains?"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng looked stunned for a moment, then looked up at the bright sunlit sky, feeling a little confused.

But he still believed unconditionally in what the divine bird said.

He immediately stood up, drew out his sword, arranged the bamboo, and began to rebuild the house.

Bai Zhi didn't bother either.

I saw that Ying Zheng first looked at and cut down many bamboos, and then sorted them out uniformly.

Finally, the construction work started.

I saw that he first dug four deep holes and buried thick bamboos in them. Then, he began to tie the bamboos at a distance of half a foot from the ground. Gradually, a platform frame made of bamboos appeared.

As time passed, the bamboo gradually became abundant, and the general structure of a bamboo house appeared in front of Ying Zheng.

Bai Zhi took the time to take a look and was immediately shocked by Ying Zheng's hands-on ability.

In just a moment, a bamboo house was built?

However, the roof is still unfinished.

"Boom--"

At this moment, the sky suddenly became gloomy, accompanied by the sound of thunder, which made Ying Zheng's face look urgent.

He quickly cut the bamboo in half, and then used the half bamboo as tiles to lay on the roof.

Just when he was finishing, rain started to fall one after another. Ying Zheng hurriedly hid in the bamboo house. He looked at the rain curtain outside, but inside the bamboo house it was dry.

Bai Zhi looked appreciative, and suddenly he admired the little human cub. He was worthy of being the one who would dominate the world in the future. There was indeed something special about him.

When Bai Zhi saw that the bamboo house was successfully built, he stopped talking and watched the show quietly.

But he saw Ying Zheng sitting in front of the bamboo house, and saw that the house he originally built was washed away by the rain. It leaked at first, and the hay covering it was also washed away by the rain.

The rain became heavier, the water flow increased, and finally, the house was washed away by the rain.

This made Ying Zheng look happy.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark again, Ying Zheng counted the time and placed the large amount of wild fruits he had collected before and the fish he had grilled before starting to eat dinner.

While eating, he took out the bamboo slips that Bai Zhi had just given to him and studied them carefully.

Next, in addition to getting food every day, Ying Zheng studied in a bamboo house under the sycamore tree, or took Bai Zhi's exams.

After ten days of this, the clothes on Ying Zheng's body became a little tattered, and there were numerous damages, all of which were scratched by branches in the mountains and forests.

Ying Zheng didn't care at all about this.

After all, you are in the mountains and you are alone, so why bother with clothes!

He looked at the bamboo slip in his hand. The bamboo slip at this time was no longer the original bamboo slip.

What he is holding now is the book of the Mohist family.

It's also quite interesting to read.

Just as he was immersed in it, Bai Zhi's figure suddenly appeared beside him and said: "The ten-day period has come, Zheng'er, it's time for you to leave!"

"Huh? So fast!?"

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment and then reacted.

He stood up, arranged his clothes, and then saluted Bai Zhi respectfully, "Thank you for your hard work, Master!"

"Ok!"

Bai Zhi nodded and urged: "Leave. I will come again in ten days. You can bring your belongings with you when you come next time."

As for the next time, it won't be a simple personal survival.

…………

On the bank of Lishan Mountain, there is the Divine Bird Palace.

Qin Ruishi, who was guarding the Divine Bird Palace, showed doubts and discussed matters with each other.

"By the way, the prince has been in the mountain for ten days, why hasn't he come out yet?"

There were worried looks on their faces. After all, they were the crown prince of Qin. Isn't it possible that the King of Qin wasn't worried? !

"No, it's the sacred bird's blessing after all, so it should be fine!"

"That's right! I'm too worried!"

"But staying in the Divine Bird Palace every day is boring..."

"Used to it!"

As the two of them were talking, they suddenly saw a short figure suddenly appear on the steps in front of the Divine Bird Hall. When they looked at it, they were shocked.

"Prince!"

"Meet the prince!"

They saluted hurriedly, and at the same time, they couldn't help but look at Ying Zheng.

Because Ying Zheng's clothes were in tatters, his bun was messy, and his hair was messy. He suddenly looked like a beggar in the city.

However, they could also feel that although the prince's appearance was not good-looking, his spirit was high and his demeanor was determined, which was not what he had at his age.

"Send me back to Xianyang!"

After ten days of hard work, Ying Zheng was just a child. When he came out, his body and mind suddenly relaxed, and he inevitably felt powerless.

They could only arrange for Qin Ruishi to send him back.

"Here!"

……

Qin Palace.

When Prince Chu of Qin heard that the prince had returned, his face also showed curiosity.He immediately put down his political affairs and strode towards the prince's palace.

At the same time, on the way there, I couldn't help but ask the waiter who came to report, "How is the prince's condition?"

"Back to the king, there is nothing unusual about the prince except that his clothes are messy!"

The waiter thought of the change in the prince's temperament, but did not dare to say more.

King Qin had already expected this. After all, the Divine Bird had already told him roughly Ying Zheng's arrangements.

By the time Qin Prince Chu arrived at the prince's palace, Ying Zheng had already finished washing, put on luxurious clothes, and his hair was being combed by the palace maid.

Seeing King Qin coming in, Ying Zheng and his maids saluted quickly.

"waived!"

Qin Prince Chu signaled the palace maid to continue combing Ying Zheng's hair, and then began to ask Ying Zheng about his experience in the past few days.

Ying Zheng naturally knew everything about this.

After hearing what Ying Zheng said, Prince Chu of Qin was puzzled. He didn't know why the divine bird asked Ying Zheng to... survive in the wilderness.

But he also knew that doing so must have the intention of the divine bird.

So, he looked at Ying Zheng and said: "Zheng'er, you have done a good job. Don't relax during the ten days since you came back. Don't forget to study. After ten days, I'm afraid the divine bird will have some arrangements for you." There are differences, so you have to be prepared!”

Prince Qin Chu guessed in his heart.
