The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 273 The Blessing of the Divine Bird
Li Qingzhao didn't take it to heart about the waiter's gaffe. After all, she had experienced this kind of situation too much and it already felt sparse and normal.

Then Li Qingzhao arranged: "Go and invite the most reliable dentist in the city. I want to live in the city for a month, so I want to rent a courtyard."

"This……"

After hearing Li Qingzhao's words, the waiter immediately hesitated, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Seeing the other party acting like this, Li Qingzhao finally reacted. After all, the waiter in front of him is a member of the inn, and the inn relies on tenants to rent rooms. Now, if the guest asks him to rent a room from a fan, isn't it just pushing his business to the outside world?

That's why the waiter's face showed a look of embarrassment at this moment.

Seeing this, Li Qingzhao was not stingy and said: "If you can invite Yaren, these silver coins will be your hard-earned money."

With that said, Li Qingzhao took out a broken piece of silver from his sleeve, about one tael of silver, and handed it to the waiter's hand.

When the waiter saw this, he suddenly smiled. At the same time, he couldn't help but weigh the silver coins with his hands, and then he quickly replied: "Okay, sir, I promise to handle it well for the girl!"

After saying that, the waiter ran out, and Li Qingzhao looked down and saw that the waiter had already run out of the inn and disappeared into the crowd on the street.

Yaren didn't react for a moment, and found that Li Qingzhao didn't care about him, and then he quickly said: "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"I only need a small courtyard, a quiet environment, not a noisy place, and as long as the building is not too shabby, there are no other requirements!"

"..."

"It should be green, fat, red and thin..."

"That's fine, you can just go about your business in Liangshan City. I need to go back to Lishan Mountain!"

When the Yaren opposite heard Li Qingzhao suddenly recited a poem, he suddenly showed a look of reminiscence, and then said immediately:
"Girls are also people who like to listen to music? This poem was written by a talented girl in Bianjing City, and when the girl from Yihongyuan in the city paired it with music, it is a masterpiece!"

Li Qingzhao also listened quietly, without stopping or agreeing with anything. When Yaren reacted, he quickly said:

Comparing the lyrics recited by women from good families with the songs sung by prostitutes, doesn’t it mean that women from good families and prostitutes are put into the same category?
Just when he was uneasy and thought that this business was over, he heard the voice of the woman opposite him again:

After placing everything, Bai Zhi asked.

"besides……"

Bai Zhi was silent for a moment and then said.

"A deep sleep will not eliminate the remaining wine,"

"The girl asked for a lot of things in the city far away. But the girl is not from Liangshan City. Outside Liangshan City, there is a lake in Liangshan. The thieves there often come to the official road to rob people in the city. This The merchants who came to Liangshan City to do business stopped coming, and the courtyards where they lived were sold out!"

Hearing the words of the divine bird, Li Qingzhao responded with a smile.

Yaren said, as if he had too much anger towards Da Song at this time, so he had to vent it out.

……

At the same time, he also placed the books he had just purchased in the city, as well as the pens, inks, paper and inkstones that Bai Zhi had just taken out from the invisible world, on the desk, and then placed them neatly one by one to facilitate his use later.

"Do you know."

Bai Zhi took out the brocade quilt placed in the invisible world, along with pots, pans and other items.

"Is there a courtyard like the one I asked for?"

Thinking of this, Li Qingzhao couldn't help but recite the last sentence.

With the silver reward, Xiao'er moved very quickly. After all, Liangshan City was just a small town, and the Yaren came very quickly. The waiter took him directly outside the room where Li Qingzhao was.

"I said it was the Song Dynasty. How cowardly! All the money that our people earned was given to the northern barbarian countries in the form of annual tribute by the imperial court!"

"..."

"Look where I went. There are many courtyards in Liangshan City that the girl wants. I wonder if she has time to go see the courtyard at this time?"

"..."

"The one who understands me is the divine bird!"

In order not to cause unnecessary difficulties to the waiter, Li Qingzhao directly called Yaren to his room for discussion.

"Have!"

The matters in the courtyard were settled in one afternoon, and nothing happened in the meantime. Looking at the small courtyard, Yaren had already cleaned the courtyard in advance, and the house was tidy, which made Li Qingzhao very satisfied.

Although the blooming season of crabapple flowers has passed, how can a person who likes a kind of flower only like its blooming flowers?
Speaking of crabapple blossoms, Li Qingzhao thought of her sad past, of the way her father brought her back to her hometown from Bianjing in such a mess, and of the poem she wrote the night before leaving Bianjing:

Li Qingzhao stated his request, paused for a moment, and recently added, "If there are begonia flowers in the courtyard, you can choose them first!"

"I tried to ask the person behind the curtain, but I found that Begonia remained the same."

As if he was not satisfied with explaining the reason for the large number of courtyards, he continued, but his voice was much lower, "There is also a rumor that the Liao Kingdom in the north is going to attack the Song Dynasty, and the land of Qilu wants to be bordered by the Liao Kingdom, and some people have The money man was afraid, so he sold his yard and moved to the south! "

He quickly talked about what happened in the courtyard, hoping to quickly change the subject, as if he was afraid that Li Qingzhao would talk about his mistake again.

"Do you want to wander around the city during this month, looking for some ancient books that have not been circulated, and at the same time perfecting the book you want to compile?"

"what?"

"Last night it was rainy and windy,"

"It should be green, fat, red and thin..."

It turned out to be a woman!
It was almost a huge insult to talk about the Land of Fireworks in front of a woman and compare the words recited by the woman in front of her with the songs sung by the promiscuous women in the Land of Fireworks.

After Yaren finished speaking, he looked at Li Qingzhao opposite him, as if he wanted to see a look of approval on Li Qingzhao's face, but the expression on his face suddenly froze. At this time, he finally saw Li Qingzhao's appearance clearly.

"Return to Lishan?"

After hearing Bai Zhi's words, Li Qingzhao finally looked at Bai Zhi seriously, with a searching look on his face.

Although Li Qingzhao did not ask, he could see the intention of asking from her expression, so he took the initiative to explain:

"I must have seen it many times in ancient books that the divine bird fell into a short sleep many times."

Bai Zhi looked at Li Qingzhao and asked.

Hearing Bai Zhi's question, Li Qingzhao also showed a look of realization on his face, and then asked again: "Is the divine bird planning to return to Lishan Mountain and fall into a deep sleep?"

"Yes, of course, it won't take long, a month is more than enough!" After hearing what Bai Zhi said, Li Qingzhao finally showed a relaxed look on his face, and then said: "I don't know why the divine bird is sleeping, but I wish you the best. All is well with the divine bird and it has returned smoothly!”

"Thank you for your good wishes."

Bai Zhi nodded slightly towards Li Qingzhao, and then disappeared in front of Li Qingzhao in an instant.

Looking at the sudden disappearance of the divine bird, Li Qingzhao still maintained the smile on his face, but at this time it was slightly restrained, and there was a feeling of emptiness in his heart.

This feeling seems to be a kind of loneliness, which is beyond words.

After a moment of silence, she continued to be busy with her own affairs, but if someone was around, she could see her repeating what she had just done...

……

On top of Mount Li.

The wind is gentle and the sun is beautiful, the trees are lush and wild. Because the Lishan Divine Bird Temple is a forbidden area, it maintains its most primitive appearance on Lishan Mountain.

Among the mountains, there are towering towers and jade buildings, with splendid glazed tiles and carved beams and painted buildings. Under the cover of exotic flowers and trees, it seems to have a sense of mystery.

The cicadas are noisy in the forest, and the birds singing are quiet in the mountains.

There is a mountain road under the cover of dense trees. Although there are many fallen leaves around, the ancient stone steps look very neat.

On the side of the stone steps, there are soldiers wearing majestic armor standing upright. They have been the guards who have guarded Lishan Mountain for more than a thousand years. They have never stopped since the period of King Qin Huiwen in the pre-Qin Dynasty.

No one seems to know about their achievements, but their achievements seem to be spread forever, recorded in ancient history, and praised by future generations.

It seems that among this group of people, only a few people can see the sacred bird they protect with their own eyes, but more people can only hear the story of the sacred bird from ancient books or legends.

Some people may have complaints, and some may doubt that the sacred bird that protects them does not exist at all. The so-called records in ancient books and legends are all false, and they are nothing but eternal scams.

There are only a few people who have this kind of mentality, but more of them are convinced that the divine bird really exists!
After all, although they have been guarding Lishan Mountain for generations, it seems that they have restricted the freedom of themselves and their family, leaving Hehe and his family to stay in this small area of ​​​​Lishan Mountain, but accordingly, they have gained a lot.

For example, the family does not have to pay taxes, do not have to be subject to corvee labor, and does not have to worry about their land being annexed and turned into tenants or slaves for others to cultivate.

As the saying goes, a drink and a peck have their own destiny. If there are gains, there will be losses. Misfortunes and blessings depend on each other, but that's it.

On Lishan Mountain, in front of the Divine Bird Hall, the steps are neat and tidy. Although the steps that are not within the scope of the Divine Bird Hall have been cleaned, the steps that were originally carved with exquisite patterns are full of traces of time. .

There are also traces of trampling on the surface, and the pattern has been worn away, making the stone steps very smooth.

At certain intervals, there would be a soldier in armor standing. Although no one could go up to the top of Mount Li because of the divine bird, they still guarded there.

However, at this moment, on Mount Li, directly above the Divine Bird Palace, rippling lines like water waves suddenly appeared in the void.

The next moment, a figure emitting holy light suddenly appeared. Its whole body was covered with feathers as white as snow, and four long tail feathers floated behind it, drawing a beautiful arc like a rainbow.

At the same time, the holy radiance it radiated suddenly shone on the entire Lishan Mountain. There was such a scene on Lishan Mountain, but people outside Lishan Mountain could not see any scene.

It seems that the divine bird is deliberately only allowed to be seen by people on Mount Li.

"bright!"

"There's a blinding white light!"

"Is this the brilliance of the sun?"

"Heaven..."

"That's... a divine bird!?!"

"The divine bird appears!"

"That's the legendary bird!?!"

"The divine bird is actually like this..."

"..."

For a moment, the soldiers guarding Lishan were shocked. They looked up and down, looking at the sacred bird in the sky with reverence and endless yearning.

It has been a hundred years since the last time the divine bird appeared publicly on Lishan Mountain, and almost none of the soldiers guarding Lishan Mountain have ever seen the true appearance of the divine bird.

It's normal to be shocked when you see him at this time.

The appearance of the divine bird immediately attracted the attention of everyone on Lishan Mountain. The soldiers standing on their positions looked up to the sky and looked at the figure of the divine bird in the sky.

It only took Bai Zhi a moment to go from Liangshan City in the land of Qilu to the Divine Bird Temple in Lishan Mountain in the Guanzhong area. The sudden change in the environment made him slightly distracted. After he came to his senses, he looked at the earth. In this vast haze Hanzhong looked at his person.

He looked at the soldiers guarding the Temple of the Divine Bird in the mountains and forests, and felt their enthusiasm. After pondering for a moment, Bai Zhi immediately flew to the earth and slowly landed on the main hall of the Temple of the Divine Bird.

Because the divine bird does not sleep in the Lishan Divine Bird Hall, others can enter the Lishan Divine Bird Hall on weekdays for cleaning, etc. Therefore, the front of the Lishan Divine Bird Hall is also neat and clean at this time.

The soldiers standing under the Divine Bird Palace watched the Divine Bird slowly descend, with excitement on their faces. They looked at the Divine Bird with ardent eyes and hesitated to speak. It seems that there are tens of millions of things to pay attention to and talk to the divine bird.

Bai Zhi looked at them. At the same time, more and more people gathered in front of the Lishan Divine Bird Palace. There were also many figures standing in the Qiong Tower and Jade Yuyu below.

In the eyes of others, they saw the divine bird suddenly appear and then land on the main hall of the Divine Bird Temple. A moment later, the divine bird suddenly looked up at the sky, and the originally clear sky suddenly became overcast.

Just when the soldiers guarding Lishan were frightened, a gentle voice suddenly sounded in their ears, saying gently:

"The rain from heaven will bring you endless blessings. Bathed in the rain, you will be immune to all diseases. You will live long and enjoy good fortune, and your descendants will be prosperous!"

The sound that echoed in my ears echoed for a long time, not only in my ears, but even in my mind and heart!
"This……"

"Blessing from the divine bird!?"

"This is a blessing from the divine bird!"

"God bless the Qin family! God bless the Qin family!"

"..."

……

The sound echoing in the ears shocked, surprised, and delighted everyone in the mountains, forests, and palaces!
Such blessings from divine birds are unprecedented in ancient times!
However, today, the divine bird actually blessed them. What does this mean?
It represents the Divine Bird’s recognition of their Qin clan’s protection of the Lishan Divine Bird Palace for generations!
How could this not make them happy? !
