The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 173 Replacement
"I've already thought of a name. It's called "Shui Jing Zhu"!"

"Swallow, Swallow, you said that if you cut bamboos and make a boat, and then go down the river, you will have a panoramic view of the mountains and mountains on both sides of the river. What a beautiful sight it will be!"

The man said to Yanzi beside him.

The swallow said nothing and stood quietly on a branch nearby.

The man did not dislike his verbosity. As he spoke, he took out the long sword from his waist and temporarily repaired it in front of a bamboo forest.

At the same time, a bamboo raft was woven.

After a night's rest, the man hunted some game. After roasting it, he used clean bamboo slices to tear off the meat strips and placed them in front of the swallow. "Thank you for your companionship, swallow. This is my thank you gift!"

After the man said this, he began to feast on the delicious food he baked.

Yanzi stood on the bluestone, looked at the man, and then at the meat strips on the bamboo slices in front of him, but he also lowered his head and started eating.

The dazzling sunlight shines on the ground through the dense bamboo forest, scattering dazzling plum blossoms.Although it is midsummer, I feel cool in this mountain.

In the distance, the gurgling stream flowing down from the mountains is gurgling, and there is a tinkling sound, like a ring of pei, and the sound of water can be heard through the bamboo.

The man took out the pen and ink from the package and simply wrote something on the paper. After that, he carefully wrapped the writing paper with tung oil paper and placed it in the deepest part of the package.

After doing this, the man looked at the little Yanzi beside him and said, "I wonder if Yan'er is still going with me?"

Yan'er didn't answer the man, but landed directly on the green bamboo beside her.

Seeing this, the man smiled and then strode towards the bank of the river not far away.

But on the gentle river, a bamboo raft was gently pushed into the water. Then I saw a man stepping onto the bamboo raft, holding a bamboo in his hand, and rowing forward.

The green mountains on both sides of the bank are as beautiful as black, the scenery is beautiful, the water is gentle, and fish are swimming under the water, not afraid of human figures.

Suddenly, I saw the sound of ape chirping coming from afar, mournful and sad.

One person, one swallow, and one raft express their love for the mountains and rivers, and spring comes and goes eastward.

The swallow lowered his head and the man waved his pen:
The green pool is clear and the reflection is clear.In the mountains there grow many grotesque cypresses, in the mountains, with springs and waterfalls flying in their midst.It's clear, majestic, majestic and full of interest.

Every sunny and frosty day, the woods are cold and the streams are austere. A tall ape often calls out, which is very bleak.There is a sound in the empty valley, and the sorrow lasts for a long time.Therefore, the fishermen sang: "The Badong Three Gorges and the Wu Gorge are long, and the apes cry three times and shed tears on their clothes!"

……

Flying over mountains, flying over big rivers, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, there are many pleasant things in the mountains and rivers.

A swallow leaps for joy in the mountains and forests, and over plain springs. Another time in winter, it walks on the white snow. Mountain people are shocked when they see it.

As time goes by, the external court situation changes, and the 800-year-old dynasty seems to have come to an end. Many benevolent policies in the past have now become "ancestral systems" that hinder development.

The emperor is incompetent and the court officials are immoral.

Suddenly, it seemed that the end of the dynasty had been reached.

Bai Zhi looked at the world with cold eyes. There were many aristocratic families, but even the Zhang family, a century-old aristocratic family in Chang'an City, had no one born.

"The 800-year-old dynasty has been in the same week for a long time. It's time to change!"

Bai Zhi naturally knew that how could there be a long-lasting dynasty in the world?
Over a long period of time, the system has become old and decayed and cannot be adapted.It will inevitably be abandoned by the times, and only through the tempering of blood and fire can it be reborn.

Bai Zhiwei, for his own reasons, protected these Chinese ancestors so well that the Chinese nation lost their courageous spirit of struggle.

"Protecting the great man for 800 years can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous..."

I love the mountains and rivers, but don’t get close to the world of mortals.

Conflicts in the world, just watch with cold eyes!
Time has been turbulent, but the mountains and rivers are still peaceful.

The Han Dynasty has ruled China for eight hundred years, and the name of the Han Dynasty has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Ethnic minorities in the northern and western regions are all proud of learning Han culture.There are also some century-old families that have long integrated the blood of ethnic minorities.

You have me I have you.

"The Han Dynasty is ignorant and should be replaced to create a new world!"

"The merits of the Han Dynasty should be remembered, and the emperor's clan should be treated kindly!"

The world is in turmoil, and the heroes of the world are raising their troops to rebel.

The Han Dynasty has been a decadent empire for 800 years.

Under the front of the rebel army, they retreated steadily.

At the same time, the majesty of the Han Dynasty in the countries in the Western Regions gradually lost. People in the Western Regions did not respect the Han Dynasty and led troops into China to burn, kill, and plunder.

The flames of war quickly spread across the land of China, and only in the high mountains could one find a moment of peace.

……

Bai Zhiduan was sitting on a mountain wall. There was a cave in the mountain wall as a nest, but under the mountain wall, he saw a village with dozens of households.

The people in the village live and work in peace and contentment, living quietly, avoiding the war from the outside world.

After living here for several years, Bai Zhi felt a little tired, so he said to himself:

"It's time to go out!"

Bai Zhi looked at the sky. The morning sun was rising in the sky. The bright sunlight shone on his red feathers, making it dazzling and infinite.

A child at the foot of the mountain suddenly froze, staring blankly at the top of the mountain wall, and then was stunned.

Naturally, Bai Zhi didn't notice what was going on at the bottom of the mountain. He revealed his body, his crimson feathers were filled with divine light, and the three long feathers behind him were embellished with purple light.

Under the sunlight, it looks like shining purple stars.

In a moment, the figure of the divine bird disappeared instantly, followed by the divine light that filled the sky.

The child was pulling on the sleeves of the adult next to him, and then pointed to the mountain wall, "Mother, look, there is a magical bird!"

"Where is the magical bird?"

A woman looked up and saw nothing in the direction the child was pointing.

……

……

Since the year 800 of the Han Dynasty, the salt lakes in the Western Regions have gradually dried up. As a result, many countries in the Western Regions have been buried by yellow sand.

The land of Longxi is located at the junction of the Western Region and the Han Dynasty. There is a lot of yellow sand spreading, but there are also places with beautiful mountains and clear waters.

But here, there is a wealthy family standing.

"This rumor about the Li family has existed since the Qin Dynasty, even longer than the Han Dynasty. However, who can know whether it is true or false?"

In a wine shop, a man was talking to his companions.

"It's said that we don't have many dignitaries in Longxi, but the Li family in Longxi can be considered one!"

"For example, the current head of the Li family in Longxi is now serving as a county guard in Dahan. This county guard also has military power!"

When my companions heard this, they also sighed: "I think about how great the Han Dynasty was when Emperor Wu was there. With Emperor Wu on the throne, protected by divine birds, and assisted by wise men, the territory of the Han Dynasty was unprecedentedly vast, but what about now!?"

"The world is in turmoil, rebel armies are everywhere, and the current court..."

At this point, the man shook his head, as if he knew what he meant without saying anything.

"Alas, some meat-eaters know, how can we know?"

"..."

A swallow stood under the eaves. After a moment, it spread its wings and left.

……

……

Although the palace is not as gorgeous as Chang'an Palace, it still has the elegance of the palace.

In a palace garden, there were apricot flowers dotted like white snow, with petals flying in the air. A woman in her prime was sitting under the rain of apricot flowers, gently swaying on the swing.

Behind him, a petite maid was gently pushing the swing while talking to the girl sitting on the swing, "The master of the house seems to have found a young talent for the girl, and he wants to ask the girl what she thinks." What do I have in mind!"

The girl sitting on the swing is wearing a pale pink Hanfu, with a slender waist and a delicate snow-white neck, which complements the apricot blossoms beside her.

He lowered his eyes back and forth and looked at the apricot blossoms falling on his clothes. He was in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

There are only apricot flowers flying all over the sky, with beautiful faces holding petals in their hands, quietly admiring the flowers.The girl seems to have a slightly exotic style, and she has a Han delicacy, which makes her even more beautiful.

"Sister, where are you?!"

Such a beautiful picture was suddenly broken by a childish voice.

I saw the maid who was gently pushing the swing stopped, and the woman also got off the swing, and her petite body began to appear exquisite.

A beautiful smile appeared on her face, and then her beautiful eyes looked in the direction of the sound.

After a moment, as expected, a boy of eleven or twelve came in.

The young man is dressed in black and dark red Hanfu, but it also adds a bit of stability and maturity to him.

The young man may have thought so too. At such a young age, he had a solemn expression on his face, pretending to be steady.

When the girl saw this, the smile on her face became even brighter, and she couldn't help but ask: "Why is my brother here?"

Hearing this, he saw that the boy's movements were stagnant, but he quickly turned around and walked away. Then he walked out of the courtyard. The voice came again, "Sister, there is a letter from father. Mother is waiting for sister to pass in the hall!"

Seeing the boy's actions, the smile on the girl's face became even brighter, but after hearing the boy's words, the smile slowly faded away.

Immediately, he slowly walked out of the courtyard, "Why did you come out again?"

Outside the door, the boy stood.

Hearing the girl's words, he quickly said: "I am seven years old and I am not at the same table. Although my sister is my relative, there are also rites for men and women!"

"And you can't break into your sister's boudoir without permission."

"good!"

The woman nodded slightly, glanced at the boy appreciatively, and then walked towards the hall.

Seeing that the girl did not embarrass him, the young man breathed a sigh of relief.

……

After a while, the girl returned again and walked into the courtyard. There was a bit of sadness in the girl's eyebrows.

"Girl, the master of the house is interested in young talents in Chang'an City, and I think they are good. Why do you hesitate, girl?"

After hearing the words of the maid beside her, the girl shook her head slightly, and then ordered: "Go and get my sword!"

"...here!"

The maid hesitated to speak, but turned around and entered the room.

The girl walked to the stone table under the apricot tree and sat down slowly.At this moment, a "chirping" sound suddenly came from the branch.

The girl looked up and saw a swallow staying on a branch, hidden among the apricot flowers.

"Yan'er, you came quickly..."

At this time of year, swallows fly in early, but this is Longxi, the weather is still cold, and there are not many swallows seen.

Just when the girl was looking at the swallow, she saw that the swallow on the branch suddenly changed its shape, its black and white feathers suddenly turned into red, and its size also became much larger.

The two long feathers at the tail were like weeping willows, and a faint red divine light appeared all over her body, illuminating the girl's fair cheeks.

But the girl's small cherry mouth suddenly opened wide, her beautiful eyes stared blankly at the divine bird on the branch, and her whole body fell into a brief freeze.

"God... divine bird!?"

The girl reacted, stared at the girl on the branch with her mouth open, and asked cautiously.

"...Girl, the sword is here!"

At this moment, the voice of the maid came from behind, and the girl turned her head to look, and then looked at the divine bird again.

But I saw the divine bird turned into a swallow again and stayed on the branch.

Seeing this, the girl was stunned for a moment, and then a bright smile appeared on her face.

"Clang!"

The girl took the sword and drew it out immediately.

The cold sword light illuminated the face of the maid on the side, and then he saw a girl dancing with a sword in the courtyard full of apricot flowers, as graceful as a startling giant, as graceful as a swimming dragon.

The autumn chrysanthemums are shining brightly, and the spring pines are blooming brightly.It seems like the moon is covered by light clouds, and the fluttering snow is like the flowing wind.

If the shoulders are cut into shape, the waist will be as plain as expected.The neck is extended to show off the neck, and the beauty is revealed.Fragrance is not added, and the lead is beautiful.The cloud bun is in E'e, and the eyebrows are trimmed in Lianjuan.Red lips are bright on the outside and white teeth are fresh on the inside.Bright eyes are good at gazing, and the dimples assist in inheriting the power.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Bai Zhi thought of the "Fu of the Goddess of Luo" written by a talented man a hundred years ago.Bai Zhi's eyes were clear and appreciative.

However, on his wings, there was a faint fluorescent flash, and mysterious patterns emerged.

The sword light stopped, the girl gasped slightly, returned the sword to the maid, then sat in front of the stone table, looking up at Bai Zhi on the branch.

The girl pushed the maid away, then looked at the swallow on the branch and asked, "Are you a divine bird?"

"What do you think?"

Bai Zhi asked back, but Bai Zhi's voice also made the woman more convinced. There was surprise on her face, and then she stared at the swallow on the branch with bright eyes.

After a long time, the woman continued to ask: "The sacred bird is the sacred bird of the Han Dynasty, and now the Han Dynasty is in danger. I wonder what the sacred bird thinks?"

"The change of dynasties is like the beauty of a beautiful woman. The 800-year dynasty, looking back on history, can only be compared to the Zhou Dynasty."

The swallow on the branch said calmly: "Besides, the big man is rotten everywhere, so it's time to replace him!"

"Does the divine bird think so too?"

"It's not that I think so, but that's the truth!"

Those who remain unchanged and do not know how to reform and adapt are destined to be abandoned by the times.

"in this way……"

I don’t know if the girl understood it, but I saw her pondering for a moment, and then shook her head slightly.

"I wonder why the divine bird is here?"

"I heard that there has been no trace of the divine bird since it woke up 200 years ago..."

The girl's eyes were like stars, looking at the swallow, waiting for the swallow's answer.

"Putting my love on the mountains and rivers, traveling around the world, I am here today, and I may stay there for a while."

Bai Zhi replied.

"I see!"

The girl nodded, and then said: "Since the divine bird is here, let me entertain it as a courtesy to the landlord!"

"also may."

"I haven't introduced you yet, but the little girl's name is Li Xinni."

"Li Xinni? I remember!"

Bai Zhi nodded.

Immediately, Li Xinni looked at the divine bird and couldn't help but curiously asked: "According to ancient books, the divine bird has existed since the Qin Dynasty. To this day, I wonder how old the divine bird really is?"

Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment and fell into memories. For a moment, he couldn't figure it out.

The girl thought that the divine bird was unwilling to answer, but she said: "Xinni is only ten years old this year, and her father has also begun to look for a suitable husband for Xinni..."

The girl opened her heart and told her secret thoughts.
