The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 271 Traveling far away from home
1118 AD.

Li Qingzhao once again lived in her hometown for more than ten years. As time passed, she changed from the girl she was before into a beautiful woman.

Because he had never married, although it attracted complaints from people in the city and caused rumors, others heard that Li Qingzhao had never married because he was filial to his parents, which made the people in the city praise him even more.

In the land of Qilu, filial piety is more important. Li Qingzhao's actions will undoubtedly make people outside admire him. When Li Qingzhao is mentioned, who would not praise him as a talented and filial daughter! ?

But there are also many people who have to sigh and regret that Li Qingzhao, a talented woman, delayed her marriage and her future because of her filial piety to her parents and elders.

When reading this, everyone admires Li Qingzhao's filial piety.

Even after the local court heard about Li Qingzhao, they wanted to build a Xiaoyi archway for Li Qingzhao. It was erected in front of the street where Li's mansion was located. When everyone in the city entered the street, they would start from the Xiaoyi archway. There have been times before.

When Li Qingzhao heard this, he just shook his head slightly, and then wrote a letter himself and sent it to the government on behalf of the Li family, declining the government's good intentions.

The letter stated that she, Li Qingzhao, only decided not to marry because of her parents, not because of the name. As for the Xiaoyi Memorial Arch, she did not want it in her heart, so she refused to erect it.

The letter written by Li Qingzhao was immediately spread, and it immediately attracted admiration and admiration from people in the city.

But his eyes were looking at the railing of the waterside pavilion nearby, looking at the divine bird with pure white feathers and a faint holy light all over its body.

"……it is good!"

"Of course, if we really encounter a danger that you can't solve and your life is in danger, I will still take action!"

After that, he copied a large amount of the contents of the book, re-transcribed it, and compiled it into a volume.

On a lazy summer afternoon, the sun is high in the sky, but you can feel the coolness in the water pavilion.

Li Qingzhao seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be talking to Bai Zhi:

They knew that there was a divine bird beside Li Qingzhao, and he was striving for the people favored by the divine bird in history. They all made great contributions and were famous throughout the ages, shining with their own glory in history.

In contrast, even if Li Qingzhao didn't ask for it, Bai Zhi would do it.

……

Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Li Qingzhao also smiled on his face. His beautiful face looked even more charming, dignified and elegant with a bit of domineering aura.

Ever since she made up her mind to complete an all-encompassing work, she also knew that this could not be completed in a short time, and would even take several generations.

"Now that you've decided, just do it!"

After all, it was still a few years before the Jingkang Incident. He had already decided to change history through Li Qingzhao. How could he just watch her grow old?

Li Qingzhao saw his father acting like this, and he also became more respectful to the divine bird beside him.

However, at this time, compared with Li Qingzhao in the water pavilion, the two of them were far behind.

In the front yard of the Li Mansion, Li Gefei, Wang, Li Hao, and many maids and servants were all standing in the yard, looking at Li Qingzhao in front of him who was wearing the best clothes of the woman he saw, with reluctance on their faces.

Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Li Qingzhao was stunned and understood the meaning of the Bird Palace. She also wanted to be a begonia flower in the flower pot under the corridor, unable to withstand the wind and rain.

Because of the "Red Fruit" given by the divine bird, Li Qingzhao's father, Li Gefei, did not die as early as in history. Instead, he was still in good health and younger than before.

The courtyard is deep, the bamboos are tall and tall, the flowers are fragrant, and the carved dragons and painted buildings have a sense of winding paths leading to seclusion. The corridors are winding and winding. In this Qilu land, there is also the freshness and elegance of the Jiangnan water town.

The reason why she no longer goes out is because her appearance has not changed after such a long time.

But Li Qingzhao didn't pay attention to these things and didn't care about them. No matter what happened outside the mansion, she remained the same as before, and even rarely stepped out of the mansion again, staying at home all day long.

However, Bai Zhi also said: "Now that you have superb swordsmanship and an inhuman physique, I am afraid that you will not encounter danger in the Song Dynasty. Even if you encounter danger, you will avoid it. Therefore, everything will be safe by then." You need to solve it yourself!”

At this time, a large blanket was spread in the waterside pavilion, and a large table was placed on top of the blanket. Li Qingzhao was sitting in front of the table.

Li Qingzhao was sitting in a water pavilion on a small lake in Li's residence. The breeze was blowing and the gauze beside the water pavilion was blown up, making Li Qingzhao's figure a little hazy.

There were many books piled on the table or even next to the table, but Li Qingzhao was holding the book in his hand, frowning slightly, immersed in the books.

After a while, it seemed that he had completed the re-editing of an ancient book, then he put down the brush, then added a small amount of water to the inkstone, picked up the ink block on the side with his slender hands, and polished it gently.

For a time, Li Qingzhao's reputation seemed to be even greater and more impressive than when she was in Bianjing.

This special temperament represented another improvement in her swordsmanship, and Bai Zhi felt more relieved when he saw this.

Ten days later, Li Qingzhao was relaxed and ready to set off. On this trip, she didn't even bring her two maids with her. She was just alone, carrying a bag on her back and holding a sword.

Since Bai Zhi gave Li Gefei the Zhuguo, some people in the Li family have already known about the existence of the divine bird, so they are not too surprised when the divine bird appears, but they are still respectful at all times.

……

Something happened to Li Gefei, Wang and Li Hao, and their faces even looked sad.

Li Qingzhao seemed to have finally made up his mind and said this.

"So, I plan to set off, leave my hometown, and go to a place with many book collections..."

Therefore, she took the initiative to ask the divine bird to extend her life and stop aging!
As long as I complete the work I mentioned in the future, I will be willing to die immediately.

The two maids sitting nearby moved slowly, but they were dozing off. Seeing this, Li Qingzhao did not wake them up, but was just busy with her own things.

Noticing Li Qingzhao's gaze, Bai Zhi opened his eyes and looked at Li Qingzhao. At this time, Li Qingzhao also spoke softly: "The contents of these books are too sparse and cannot be organized systematically. If we find other ancient books in the future, I am afraid these contents will still be missing." Needs to be reorganized..."

At this time, it was time for Li Qingzhao to leave the land of Qilu, truly integrate into the world, and participate in the general trend of history.

A few years have passed, and the two men beside Li Qingzhao, Qingzhu and Momei, have become older girls, their figures have become more exquisite, and their appearance has become quite beautiful.

In fact, Li Qingzhao's reputation as a talented and filial daughter has spread throughout the land of Qilu, even to people in Bianjing City, and related stories have spread far and wide.

In the end, Bai Zhi seemed a little worried, and then added another sentence.

Even if they understand in their hearts, after all, Li Qingzhao is their family, how can they let Li Qingzhao leave alone? Besides, I don’t want to know when we can see each other again.

Li Gefei and his wife were naturally very supportive of their daughter's idea, not to mention the Divine Bird. They had already guessed that such a day would come a long time ago.

But now that I'm really facing it, I still feel very reluctant to give up.

"Qingzhao..."

Li Gefei didn't know what to say. Father's love is deep, and its depth often emerges in invisible places.

Mother's love is moist and nourishes her children all the time. Wang's eyes were moist, and she held Li Qingzhao's hands and kept urging her.

"Qingzhao... If you settle down, don't forget to send a letter to your family to express your peace..." Mrs. Wang said, or she told Li Qingzhao not to forget to eat, not to forget to put on extra clothes when the weather is cold, and so on.

Li Qingzhao also listened quietly, looking at his family with a smile on his face, and finally turned around and left decisively.

"girl……"

Xuemei and Qingzhu also looked reluctant to leave. They also knew that it would probably take a long time before they see each other again after this separation. Before, my girl told the master and his wife that they could get married and be married women, so they didn't have to waste their youth waiting for a girl.

Although they knew that their girl was right, they were still very reluctant to give up.

The people from the Li family did not leave the mansion. This was specifically explained by Li Qingzhao. She did not want her departure to be known to the whole city, so it was best to leave quietly.

Therefore, Li Qingzhao walked on the streets of the city with his luggage on his back and sword in his hand, and was lost in the crowd in a moment.

Not long after, a woman appeared outside the city gate.

……

"Where is this going?"

Outside the city, Bai Zhi asked.

"Bianjing!"

Li Qingzhao answered softly. Although his family was expelled from Bianjing City by the emperor, many years have passed and he is the only one. Even if the decree is still implemented, he can come and go alone.

"As the capital of the Song Dynasty, Bianjing must have many collections of classics. After Bianjing, we will go to Chang'an..."

Li Qingzhao said softly. She has already planned her next trip and is not confused.

At this time, apart from the things he used daily, everything else on Li Qingzhao was placed in the invisible world by Bai Zhi.

A weak woman walked on the official road, appearing alone, and everyone passing by cast doubtful eyes on her. Of course, there were also people riding in the car who wanted to give Li Qingzhao a ride, but Li Qingzhao refused.

Li Qingzhao also knew that the people she met might have good intentions, or they might have evil intentions, but she didn't want to take a ride, so she avoided many problems.

At this time, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was obsessed with the prosperous age described by the officials in the court. However, in the real Song Dynasty, the people were not wealthy. The prosperity of business is only maintained above a certain class and has nothing to do with the people at the bottom.

The people farmed and planted mulberry trees, and they worked hard for a year, but they could barely get enough to eat.

At the same time, there are many bandits in the barren mountains and rivers, either to kill people who are traveling with them, or to enter the city as thieves, rob the government, and act chivalrously.

Merchants, common people, dignitaries, thieves... all together formed today's Song Dynasty.

"If not, you can ride on a horse."

In a mountain forest, the weather was hot, but I saw a woman who was tired from work. She was wearing a robe, a bamboo hat on her head, and a sword as a staff, sitting in the shadow of a tree to rest.

Li Qingzhao heard what the divine bird said, but he shook his head firmly and said, "If I want to compile classics, I should do this. The ancients said: Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. I also want to walk all the way, although it is not a journey of thousands of miles. , you can also experience the cultural scenery along the way without reading or trusting all the books.”

After saying that, Li Qingzhao looked at Bai Zhi who was standing aside and asked, "Did the divine bird talk about walking in the snow?"

"Yes……"

Bai Zhi nodded.

Hearing Bai Zhi's confirmation, Li Qingzhao couldn't help but said: "The name of Tuxue is also recorded in ancient books. It was the mount of the princess of the Qin Kingdom in the pre-Qin Dynasty. Fortunately for the divine bird, he gained immortality and was chiseled with Duke Bowang of the Han Dynasty. Tongxi Region, Tang Dynasty, accompanied by Princess Yongan..."

"Is Taxue also in the invisible world of the divine bird?"

"Yes."

"...In this way, walking in the snow is also lonely..."

Li Qingzhao was silent for a moment and said this.

After hearing Li Qingzhao's words, Bai Zhi explained: "In the invisible world, time can flow into whatever it wants. A hundred years in the outside world may be a blink in the invisible world."

"……I see!"

Hearing Bai Zhi's explanation, Li Qingzhao showed surprise on his face.

"The invisible world..."

But in his heart, he was thinking about the magical power of the divine bird, and secretly marveled.

Li Qingzhao refused the kindness of the divine bird, but she was still curious about the famous horses in history, but she didn't ask too many questions.

The sun is rising, the summer is scorching, and the chirping of cicadas is ringing in your ears, giving people a noisy feeling. The young leaves of the trees were wilted by the scorching heat, and there was only a slight coolness in the woods.

The sun was scorching like fire, and there were not many pedestrians on the road.

Li Qingzhao finished his lunch in the woods and planned to take a rest. Then he took out an ancient book and read it carefully.

As time passed, Li Qingzhao slowly stood up and prepared to move on.

"It should be Liangshan County. I heard people on the road saying that there are swamps in Liangshan, and there are many bad people in the swamps and Liangshan..."

On the way, Li Qingzhao thought about what the passers-by she met on the previous journey said, and couldn't help frowning in thought.

"Shuibo Liangshan..."

Bai Zhifei, who was standing aside, couldn't help but be startled when he heard Li Qingzhao's words. He was very familiar with the term "Shuibo Liangshan Li".

After all, it is a masterpiece of later generations, and the story takes place in this period, in Liangshan ahead.

"I just don't know if there are any Liangshan 'heroes' in this history..."

Bai Zhi was also looking forward to it.

After all, "Water Margin" is a fiction, and many of the characters in it are fictitious. However, it is obvious that there are indeed bandits in Shuibo Liangshan.

In "Water Margin", Shui Bo Liangshan claims to be a hero, but in fact most of them are people who do evil. The government also has its disadvantages, but all the blame cannot be placed on the government.

The so-called "heroes" are nothing more than bragging. Their true identity is just that of a bandit, and their code of conduct is nothing more than that. They are nothing like heroes.

"You can go and have a look..."
