The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 275 The Emperor of the Song Dynasty Meets with the Divine Bird
Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, standing above Danbi, saw that no one objected, and immediately smiled on his face. He immediately ordered the Minister of Rites to plan a trip to Lishan Mountain to pay homage to the sacred bird, and then walked out of the palace with a smile on his face.

Seeing the emperor leaving, the civil and military officials in the palace also walked out of the palace one after another. There was no look of surprise on their faces. They all thought that the emperor would decide to go to Mount Li to pay homage to the divine bird.

After all, the emperor at this time loves rare and precious things. Being able to see the divine bird will probably make the emperor at this time crazy!
Perhaps this is why the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty did not doubt that the emperor would decide to go to Lishan Mountain to meet the sacred bird. Although they had some expectations that the emperor would not go, they were just expectations.

Within Bianjing City, as the news came, people in Bianjing City gradually learned that the divine bird had appeared. Moreover, the news of the divine bird's appearance was spread to Bianjing City through the mouths of merchants.

It was only one day later than the news from the court!
Poor people are even more concerned about the sacred bird than the imperial court!

At this time, the Song Dynasty was more than a little weaker than the previous dynasty, even weaker than the Han Dynasty!

In the early days of the Han Dynasty, although the Huns were humiliated and could only seek peace through marriage, under the reign of Emperor Wu, with great pride, he launched a northern expedition against the Huns and reined in his troops, eventually establishing the Han Dynasty, which had an unprecedentedly vast territory and incomparable strength.

The former Tang Dynasty was even more powerful than the Han Dynasty to a certain extent.

However, at this time, the Song Dynasty, needless to say, was full of martial virtue. Even if the Chinese territory had not yet been unified, how could it be said to be strong?

Trade and Economic?

In Bianjing City, the people were talking a lot about the appearance of the divine bird, and some people had even started to go to the Lishan Divine Bird Palace in person.

The holy white light, whether bright or dark, seems to coincide with the breath of the divine bird, and also indicates the growth and evolution of the divine bird!
Even in the Divine Bird Temple, you can hear waves of sound like ocean waves, roaring and deafening!
……

But they had been waiting under Lishan Mountain for ten days. During these ten days, they did not see the appearance of the divine bird, and not even any vision of heaven and earth occurred.

……

Without the blessing of force, it is like a castle in the air, a city built with yellow sand, which will collapse at the first touch!
In Bianjing City, merchants are prosperous. As soon as it breaks, the people in the city get up early and get busy, either carrying goods, selling goods along the street, or selling a wide variety of goods in the shops.

"Where did the divine bird appear?!"

"..."

"There should be no refusal. After all, the divine bird protects China. How can we watch the Song Dynasty be conquered by other countries? See the Chinese clothes and clothes being slaughtered?"

"The sacred bird of Mount Li appears..."

At this time, outside the west gate of Bianjing City, there were crowds of people, carriages and pedestrians coming in an endless stream. Most of them were people leaving the city, and their goal, without exception, was to go to the Lishan Divine Bird Palace.

Bai Zhi naturally had no idea about the situation under Lishan Mountain. At this time, he had already gone to sleep, and his consciousness fell into darkness.

Of course, the silk-woven nest has been replaced, waiting for the sacred bird to return to the sacred bird palace to sleep.

And most people are already anxious and no longer have the patience for initial knowledge.

Time passed, and ten days passed by in a flash. Under Lishan Mountain, there were more and more ordinary villagers. There were ordinary people, beggars, wealthy businessmen, and dignitaries. They all gathered in Lishan Mountain. Next, I want to see the true appearance of the divine bird.

"Since the Song Dynasty, the number of times the divine bird has appeared can only be counted on one's fingers, and it only happened once, and that was during the period of Taizu."

"According to rumors, during the Taizu period, he visited the Lishan Divine Bird Temple and asked the Divine Bird to protect the Song Dynasty, but the Divine Bird directly refused. Don't keep saying why..."

However, at this time, a piece of news was like hot oil entering water, with a loud bang!
"What!? The divine bird appears again?!"

And in the dim Bird Palace, the nest made of silk was shining with dazzling holy light. The light was as white as the moonlight, but it did not have the coldness of the moonlight, but was full of warmth and harmony.

Because of the responsibility of the temple keepers, the Divine Bird Temple has always been as clean and tidy as new, and the bronze sacred tree from the pre-Qin period still shines with dazzling light.

"What does the divine bird look like? Is it as red as recorded in ancient books?!"

Thousands of years of accumulation in the Divine Bird Palace have given it a heavy sense of historical sedimentation. Even with Bai Zhi using his magical power to "turn decay into magic", the sense of historical heaviness is so strong.

But they still insisted on staying where they were. After all, they had received news that the current Emperor of the Song Dynasty had decided to come to Lishan to pay homage to the divine bird!

They naively thought that if the current emperor came to Lishan to pay homage to the divine bird, the divine bird would definitely meet the emperor, and they would also take this opportunity to meet the divine bird.

None of them thought about what would happen if the divine bird didn't even see the emperor.

And during these ten days, none of the temple guards on Lishan Mountain came down. After all, they all knew that the divine bird had just entered the divine bird temple and fell asleep, and their duty was precisely here to protect the divine bird while it slept. The safety of the sacred bird.

At the same time, they were also afraid that the people on their mountain would encounter danger after coming down from the mountain, thereby revealing that the divine bird was sleeping in the Lishan Divine Bird Temple.

It is precisely because no one has descended from Lishan Mountain that many people have lost their patience.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the crowded village, and then the deafening sound of horse hooves could be heard. Even the ground began to tremble slightly, and small stones jumped up.

"What's going on outside?"

"Is there another dignitary coming in a hurry?"

The people in the village walked out quickly, looking out of the village with doubts on their faces. After all, in the past few days, many dignitaries and dignitaries came from the direction of Bianjing City, with servants rushing in and out, and their beautiful families accompanying them, which was very grand.

Apparently, the sound of horse hooves at this moment also made them mistakenly think that some dignitary was arriving and creating a scene.

However, at this moment, someone suddenly ran in from outside the village in a hurry, shouting at the same time, "The official family has arrived! The official family has arrived under Lishan Mountain!"

And just after the man ran into the village, spring dust was rising behind him. The man standing in the village looked into the dust and saw clearly what was causing the shaking earth. ?
It turned out to be a group of cavalry. They came galloping, which caused such a big commotion.

And after hearing the shouts of the person just now, the people in the village realized that this group of cavalry was just the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty official family to clear the way!

The emperor's car was obviously not far behind.

"The emperor is already here?!"

"I wonder if the emperor can climb Mount Li?!"

"The divine bird should appear now!"

"Today is the day to see the true appearance of the divine bird!" "..."

Hearing the news that the emperor was about to arrive, the people gathered under Lishan Mountain suddenly showed expressions of excitement. Some of them had been waiting under Lishan Mountain for a long time. The moment when their hope finally came true was the most exciting.

With excitement on their faces, they quickly moved out of the way to go up the mountain. After all, they were all common people, and even the dignitaries had awe of the emperor.

After all, at this moment, we should be more respectful to the emperor.

After all, they also expected the emperor to climb Lishan Mountain and see the divine bird, and then they could use the emperor's power to see the divine bird.

The banners are fluttering, the spears are like a forest, and the soldiers in armor are clearing the way in front, majestic, solemn, tall and solemn. At the rear, there is a huge chariot. There are gorgeous silk hangings around the chariot, blocking the scene inside the chariot.

In the back, there are more silk flags fluttering in the wind, and palace maidens are walking around, accompanying them, and behind them are hundreds of civil and military officials following, either riding horses or riding in chariots, in an endless stream. There are several miles.

When they arrived at Lishan Mountain, the people who had been standing under Lishan Mountain had already given up their positions and stood watching the emperor's car from a distance. Then some civilians involuntarily knelt on the ground and looked at the emperor. Kneel down in the direction of the emperor's chariot.

What is the most awe-inspiring thing among ordinary people in this land?
The first one on the list is the divine bird!
The second in line is the ancestors!
And the third in line is the emperor!

Seeing this, the dignitaries who had come first reluctantly knelt on the ground. If they did not follow the common people, it would appear that they were out of place and did not respect the emperor.

As the emperor's chariot stopped, Song Huizong Zhao Ji did not rush out of the carriage to drive out, but followed the approaching imperial guards to quickly surround them and drive the surrounding people further away.

This made the people who came first feel angry and dare not speak out, but when they thought that the person in front of them was the current emperor, the anger in their hearts gradually disappeared.

After a while, Song Huizong Zhao Ji stepped out of the car. He was wearing a bright red emperor's crown, his face was solemn, but his eyes were also filled with joy. After all, he came to see the sacred bird, so how could he not let it go? He was so happy!

At this moment, the civil and military officials behind him were standing not far away, waiting for the emperor to speak or to be the first to ascend Mount Li.

Song Huizong Zhao Ji first looked around Lishan. Speaking of which, as the emperor of the Song Dynasty, this was his first time coming to Lishan, and he was full of curiosity about the unfamiliar environment in front of him.

Before coming, he also learned everything about Lishan and the Divine Bird Temple from ancient books, which made him even more curious about Lishan.

In the Guanzhong area, especially this area, it is mysterious and contains more historical stories.

Before that, all the capitals of China's great dynasties were established here. How many ancient legends are there under this land?

Eliminating all red tape, Song Huizong Zhao Ji turned to look at Lishan behind him, and then spoke to the civil and military officials behind him:

“Let’s start climbing!”

"Follow me to meet the divine bird!"

After saying that, Song Huizong Zhao Ji took the first step forward, preparing to climb Mount Li.

As for why he has such courage in his heart, he believes that he can easily climb Lishan Mountain. After all, under Lishan Mountain, no one can climb Lishan Mountain. There seems to be an invisible barrier that prevents people from climbing Lishan Mountain.

The reason why Song Huizong Zhao Ji was so confident was also learned from ancient books. When Zhao Kuangyin, Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, first climbed Mount Li, he climbed it easily. Before that, some ordinary people also did the same. Generally, it is impossible to climb Lishan Mountain.

And Song Huizong Zhao Ji also thought that he could climb Lishan Mountain, so he had such courage to go forward.

The surrounding common people and wealthy people also looked at the emperor and the civil and military officials, watching them climb Mount Li with burning eyes. They seemed to have seen the scene where they also saw the divine bird, and they were filled with anticipation.

But the next moment, a scene that shocked everyone happened.

Song Huizong Zhao Ji, who was walking in the front, seemed to have hit an invisible barrier. He immediately covered his face in pain, causing the palace maids, waiters, and guards who were guarding the surroundings to quickly surround him in the center.

The civil and military officials who followed him were also confused and swarmed forward to care for the emperor.

The people watching around were also confused, not knowing what happened. Some smart people also had guesses in their hearts, and their hearts suddenly surged with infinite shock.

Today's emperors are unable to climb Lishan Mountain. Is it really what the Song Dynasty Emperor Taizu said when he climbed Lishan Mountain?
Will the divine bird protect the Song Dynasty?
After some panic, Song Huizong Zhao Ji finally stood up again, but his face had some changes, and his nose was a little red and swollen, but it was difficult to see without looking carefully.

At this time, there was no joy on his face, only endless frustration, his eyes were full of doubts, and it was obviously difficult to accept that he could not climb Lishan Mountain.

Finally, he ignored the gazes of the people around him and once again tried to climb Lishan Mountain through various means, but without exception, he failed.

"What's going on? Why can't I climb Lishan Mountain!?"

"Is it because I didn't get the divine bird's permission?"

"But Emperor Taizu was able to climb Lishan Mountain without the permission of the sacred bird!"

"Didn't the divine bird notice me?"

"But a few days ago, the divine bird appeared on Mount Li, and even caused strange phenomena in the heaven and earth..."

……

Zhao Ji, Huizong of the Song Dynasty, had endless doubts in his heart, and he obviously couldn't understand it.

The civil and military officials surrounding him quickly spoke to persuade, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, according to ancient records, during the pre-Qin period, King Qin Huiwen of the Qin State built the Lishan Divine Bird Palace as a place for the sacred bird to sleep!"

"In the later Han and Tang dynasties, the divine bird returned to the Lishan Divine Bird Temple to sleep many times. The sleeping time was long and short, ranging from decades or even hundreds of years to several years or even months, so At this time, it is not difficult to see that the strange phenomena in the sky and earth in Lishan a few days ago should have been caused by the water birds before they fell asleep! "

Hearing the explanation from the real person next to him, hope suddenly appeared on Song Huizong Zhao Ji's face, and he quickly asked: "Is there a way to know how long the divine bird will sleep for?"

"This……"

The officials who had previously explained to Song Huizong Zhao Ji had a look of embarrassment on their faces. How long could the divine bird sleep? How could ordinary people like them be able to judge.

Apparently none of them knew.
