The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 274 Meeting the Divine Bird!

At this moment, standing on the mountain road, in the dense forest, in the palace, or at the foot of the mountain, they are either washing clothes and chopping firewood for cooking in the residential area at the foot of the mountain; or they are cleaning the fallen leaves on the mountain road; Among the beautiful buildings and jade buildings on the mountain, there are scattered buildings; or there are soldiers wearing armor...

At this moment, everyone had a look of joy on their faces, watching the originally sunny sky suddenly darken, looking like a storm was about to come.

On normal days, they would all rush home to collect clothes, food for drying, etc., but at this moment, one of them was not in such a mood!

Their hearts have been filled with joy and cannot tolerate anything else.

At the same time, they quickly called out the children at home, and then stood together in an open and unobstructed place, waiting for the rain from the sky to fall.

Bai Zhi's reaction to the people below him was also within his expectations, so he was not surprised.

With the appearance of a person with the word "virtue", Bai Zhi could already feel that he was about to awaken a new magical power. Before that, he had some kind of authority and could do certain things.

For example, at this moment, he can control the changes in the wind and clouds in a certain area to a certain extent. It seems that with a single thought, he can turn the clear sky into dark clouds.

Just like this, as there are more and more clouds in the sky, it looks like a storm is coming.

The soldier closest to the Divine Bird Palace heard the sudden sound and quickly opened his eyes to look. But they saw that the divine bird that was originally suspended above the Lishan Divine Bird Temple had disappeared. At the same time, the Divine Bird Temple that had just been opened was also closed. They knew what happened in an instant.

But at that time, they were just the ancestors of the Qin family, and their descendants were full of injustice.

"Look in the direction of Lishan!"

Although the divine brilliance that bloomed when the divine bird appeared before could not be seen by people outside Lishan Mountain, at this time, the vision of heaven and earth was clearly seen by people outside the mountain.

At this time, the Song Dynasty also established corresponding government offices outside Lishan Mountain to deal with practical matters above Lishan Mountain. At the same time, if any changes occurred above Lishan Mountain, they could be reported to the court in time.

"boom--"

Thinking of this, they looked up at the drizzle that was still falling, and a great sense of responsibility suddenly emerged in their hearts. This responsibility is to protect the Mountain God Bird Temple!

The sky was covered with clouds and drizzle, but it only stayed within the scope of Lishan Mountain. However, outside Lishan Mountain, the sky was still clear and clear. Anyone who looked at it would feel that it was very abnormal.

And the voice that sounded in the ears of the people below was also spoken by Bai Zhi through special means.

……

Where they couldn't see, an invisible force entered their bodies and slowly changed their physiques.

The Divine Bird has entered the Divine Bird Palace and fell into deep sleep again.

"It's because of the dense vegetation on Lishan Mountain?!"

They lay on their backs, closed their eyes, opened their hands, feeling the light rain falling on their bodies, and seemed to be immersed in it.

This is why Bai Zhi rewards them.

While the people on Lishan Mountain and at the foot of the mountain were immersed in the rain, people outside Lishan Mountain also noticed the changes on Lishan Mountain.

The light rain moistened things silently and fell on everyone.

Seeing the people still immersed in the rain, Bai Zhi smiled slightly, and then instantly entered the Divine Bird Temple. At this moment, the wide-open Divine Bird Temple suddenly closed, and there was a deafening metal trembling sound.

As time passed, and after making sure that everyone had walked out of the courtyard and that nothing could block him, Bai Zhi controlled the clouds. The next moment, a rustling sound was heard from the mountain forest, and light rain suddenly fell from the sky, moisturizing everything on Lishan Mountain.

This can be regarded as a reward for the Qin family to protect the Divine Bird Palace in Lishan Mountain for thousands of years. Although the ancestors of the Qin clan were ordered by King Qin Huiwen of the Qin Kingdom to guard the Divine Bird Palace for generations.

This is what Bai Zhi gave them. The invisible power is attached to the rain. As the rain enters their bodies, it can not only improve their bodies, but some changes can even be passed on to their descendants.

"Why is the sky still clear here?"

"Look at the dark clouds in the sky, they are only on and around Mount Li!"

"Is it because of the divine bird that such a strange phenomenon occurs in the world?!"

In a government office not far from Lishan Mountain, two people on duty looked shocked. They looked at each other, then hurriedly ran out, got on their horses, and ran towards the ancient city of Chang'an not far away. .

The news of the strange phenomenon in the Lishan Divine Bird Temple spread throughout Chang'an City in an instant. At the same time, horses starting from Chang'an City quickly headed towards Bianjing, and there were also people setting off by water to ensure that the news reached the Song Dynasty. capital!

The Divine Bird Temple of Lishan Mountain, which has been immersed for more than a hundred years, once again experienced a strange phenomenon of heaven and earth today. How could it not shock the world?
Although Chang'an City is no longer the capital of the Song Dynasty, it still maintains its former prosperity. The people in the city saw the vision of heaven and earth happening on Lishan Mountain, and they all couldn't wait to leave Chang'an City and rush to Lishan Mountain.

After all, Lishan Mountain is right next to Chang'an City. For more than a thousand years, the legend of the divine bird has been circulating near the Great Wall, and the name of the divine bird has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

In the past hundred years or so, the divine bird has not appeared, and there has never even been a legend about the divine bird. This has made the people in Chang'an City and nearby feel even more uncomfortable.

After all, in their opinion, Chang'an City and its surroundings are protected by the divine bird, but the divine bird has not appeared for a long time, which inevitably makes them feel uneasy and lack a sense of security.

So at this moment, a strange phenomenon of heaven and earth suddenly appeared on Lishan Mountain, which caused such a huge reaction from them.

Under Lishan Mountain, more and more people gathered. However, due to certain power restrictions, they could not climb up to Lishan Mountain and could only wait and see upwards under Lishan Mountain.

Standing under Lishan Mountain, they were even more shocked by the strange phenomenon of heaven and earth. There were clouds covering the area above Lishan Mountain, but outside the area of ​​Lishan Mountain, the sky was still clear.

"Is the divine bird born again?!"

"Such strange phenomena in the heaven and earth must be caused by the birth of the divine bird!"

"Why hasn't the divine bird appeared yet?!"

"I have never seen a divine bird so far. If I can see a divine bird once, I will have no regrets in this life!"

"..."

……

The people gathered under Lishan Mountain were eagerly waiting, their eyes fixed on Lishan Mountain, wanting to see the face of the divine bird.

But obviously, they were going to be disappointed. After all, the divine bird had fallen into a deep sleep. How could they see it?

Of course, if those who are patient can wait for a month, perhaps the awakened divine bird will appear in front of them and be seen by them.

After all, the divine bird has not appeared for more than a hundred years. Although people in later generations often hear the legend of the divine bird from their ancestors, they can also learn about the divine bird from ancient books. As the saying goes, seeing is believing and hearing is false. They must believe what they see, and what they don't see will naturally think it is false.

Even if there is a strange phenomenon in the sky and earth on Lishan Mountain at this time, if the divine bird has not been seen, it will only be thought that it is just a local weather abnormality.

The clouds above Lishan Mountain had lasted for an hour, and the light rain had been falling for nearly an hour. After a while, the clouds on Lishan Mountain cleared away and the sky became clear again.

The palace guards who were bathing in the rain on Mount Li also reacted one after another, and at the same time they were also carefully feeling the changes in their bodies.

After a while, a look of surprise appeared on their faces, because they clearly felt that their bodies had undergone great changes. Some people with diseases had no pain caused by the disease after being exposed to the rain. .

Because wounds from swords and even aging and fatigue have either disappeared or been greatly improved.

At this point, they had endless admiration and endless respect for the divine bird in their hearts. Even those who did not believe in the existence of the divine bird among the temple guards now firmly believed in the divine bird.

They gradually reacted, and then got busy with their own affairs again, and they also became more serious and responsible.

At this time, some people also noticed the gathering of people outside Lishan, and recently they also understood that they should be people attracted by divine birds or visions of heaven and earth.

Seeing them like this, someone immediately went up to drive them away, but as soon as they got closer, they heard someone from the people gathered outside Lishan shouting: "Housekeeper, is there a divine bird appearing on Lishan?!"

"Does the divine bird really exist?!"

"What happened to the vision of heaven and earth just now?"

"..."

……

Questions came one after another. If they were ordinary questions, the temple guards might not pay attention to them, but they heard some people questioning the existence of the divine bird. And they had just experienced the blessing of the divine bird, and they treated the divine bird with even more respect. Incomparably, how can I be willing to see other people's doubts at this time!
So he immediately retorted: "Of course the divine bird exists!"

"The divine bird just dedicated itself to Mount Li!"

"And the strange phenomenon in the heaven and earth just now was caused by the divine bird!"

The temple guardian quickly explained, but he did not tell them about the changes that occurred after they were exposed to the rain. After all, it was a reward given by the divine bird to the temple guardian. If others knew about it, it would only arouse the jealousy of some people and bring about the consequences. unnecessary trouble.

When the people guarding outside Lishan heard what the palace guards said, they immediately showed excited expressions. After all, the palace guards have been guarding Lishan for generations, and what everyone said must be true!

They were overjoyed, even happier than the temple guards.

Seeing this scene, the palace guard said no more, and did not even intend to drive them away. They returned directly to Lishan Mountain and ignored them.

……

The news that the divine bird returned to Mount Li and caused strange phenomena in heaven and earth spread instantly throughout the Guanzhong area, and then continued to spread along the river.

In the Central Plains region, the first place to know the news about the appearance of the divine bird was naturally Bianjing City.

As the capital of the Song Dynasty today, Bianjing is more prosperous than Chang'an during the Tang Dynasty. The prosperity makes people feel not like they are in the world, but like they are in a dream. This is the dream of Tokyo!

In the palace, the current emperor of the Song Dynasty, Song Huizong Zhao Ji, was overjoyed when he heard the news that the divine bird had appeared.

In the magnificent palace, there are cornices, carved beams and painted buildings, and exquisite murals in the winding corridors. Under the sunlight, it looks like a real picture emerging above the palace.

The Danbi and the railings in front of the palace are all carved with exquisite patterns, and they are all made of white marble. The jade towers and jade buildings are like the palaces and pavilions of heaven.

The palace is even more magnificent and exquisite. The golden pillars are tall and straight, and there is a golden dragon coiled around, with teeth and claws spread, flying to the nine heavens.

The palace maiden is beautiful, with charming posture and colorful hair, just like a fairy in the heavenly palace.

After the forty-year-old Song Huizong Zhao Ji heard the news of the appearance of the divine bird, he quickly notified all civil and military officials and entered the palace immediately.

Even at this time, he had already thought about the next thing. He was anxiously pacing in the palace, and he did not even come to the court earlier than today.

Even the calligraphy he loved in the past couldn't compare with this time.

As ministers came to the palace one after another, the huge palace quickly became crowded, and the civil and military officials of the dynasty already knew what happened before they came to the palace.

The news of the sudden appearance of the divine bird made them very shocked. After the shock, some people may be happy, and some may be afraid. From now on, they can only live in fear.

But no matter what, we have to listen to what the officials should do at this moment.
They were also very curious, and even very much looking forward to it.

But this expectation has two results: one result is that the knowledgeable people in the court hope that the court can continue to treat the sacred bird with respect like the previous dynasty.

Another result is that people with guilty consciences hope that the Song Dynasty court will treat the divine bird coldly like it did at the beginning of the country.

But those who had another outcome in mind looked at the emperor standing above and felt half cold in their hearts.

Seeing that all the civil and military officials had arrived in the main hall, Song Huizong Zhao Ji immediately said impatiently:
"Have you heard about the birth of the sacred bird in Mount Li?"

"I heard this!"

"Then how do you, dear friends, think you should respond?"

Song Huizong Zhao Ji asked immediately, but he did not give the civil and military officials below a chance to speak, and immediately answered by himself: "I think we should go to Chang'an Lishan Divine Bird Temple immediately to pay homage to His Majesty the Divine Bird!"

After hearing the emperor's words, none of the civil and military officials in the court objected. After a moment's silence, they all expressed their agreement with the emperor's decision.

Even people with other ideas. After all, emperors in all dynasties have visited the sacred bird. At this time, what reason did they have to refuse and prevent the emperor from visiting the sacred bird?

After all, during the Song Dynasty, except for Emperor Taizu who went to Lishan Mountain to see the divine bird up close, none of the subsequent emperors went to see the divine bird.

Of course, it does not necessarily mean that every emperor who meets the divine bird will see the true face of the divine bird, but this represents an attitude. This was true in the former Tang Dynasty, and it was also true in the Han Dynasty.

And what reason did the Song Dynasty have not to do this at this time?

Is it because the Song Dynasty still failed to unify China?

Shouldn't the Emperor of the Song Dynasty have to go to Lishan Mountain to pay homage to the divine bird?
