The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 278 The divine bird appears!

"It's only the twentieth day?"

Bai Zhi was a little surprised when he heard the palace guard's answer. Although he had guessed that he did not sleep for long, he did not expect it to be so short.

"Perhaps this is also the reason why no new magical powers have been awakened..."

Bai Zhi couldn't help but think so.

Bai Zhi couldn't help but think of this, but he didn't take it to heart. He cast his gaze on Lishan Mountain again, and saw more soldiers in armor standing in front of Lishan Divine Bird Hall. They all came here to protect the sacred bird.

At this time, seeing the divine bird awakening, their faces also showed joy, as if they were happy for the divine bird's awakening.

Bai Zhi pondered for a moment, then said: "You all should disperse! There is no need to guard here!"

After all, he has woken up, and if he continues to guard here, he won't be of much use.

"Yes!"

He couldn't help but think of the scene when Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, came to Lishan Mountain at the beginning of the Song Dynasty. He refused the other party's request to protect the Song Dynasty. This also led to the fact that no emperor after the Song Dynasty came to Lishan Mountain again to meet the divine bird.

Seeing the scene at the bottom of the mountain, Bai Zhi couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect that during such a short period of time since he returned to Lishan, he would still be noticed by the outside world and cause such a big commotion.

"The divine bird actually exists!"

After all, the divine bird was in full bloom right now, exactly like what he saw in the ancient books!
Seeing the appearance of the divine bird, Song Huizong Zhao Ji also showed a happy expression and couldn't help but stride forward. Cai Jing and others behind him also quickly stepped forward, and the soldiers behind him quickly followed.

They all stared at Lishan Mountain in stunned silence, and at the same time, their faces became a little brighter.

"Why...why is the divine bird different from what is recorded in ancient books?!"

"..."

Holy!

Seeing this, Bai Zhi turned his eyes to the foot of Mount Li again, his eyes sharp and he could clearly see what was happening at the foot of the mountain.

"The divine bird is out!"

But now, what makes him curious is why the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, Song Huizong Zhao Ji, came.

Therefore, when he saw the divine bird's pure white body, holy brilliance, and divine splendor, Song Huizong Zhao Ji was not surprised at all, but looked as if it should be so.

Under Lishan Mountain, there was a bustling crowd. There were disappointed people who were ready to leave, and there were also confident people who had just arrived. They were all looking at Lishan Mountain, expecting something.

After thinking for a while, Bai Zhi then slowly flew down the mountain. Feeling the breeze blowing between the feathers gave Bai Zhi a feeling of flying freely between heaven and earth. Of course, Bai Zhi was indeed flying freely between heaven and earth at this time, but , I just haven’t tried it like this for a long time.

Everyone uttered words of shock, and in the sky, a divine bird with a pure white body and a holy light all over its body flew down from the mountain, and then slowly approached.

"Just tell me! There are records about divine birds in all dynasties, so how could the divine birds not exist!"

"Is this the divine bird?!"

Before coming to Lishan, and even when he came, he brought many ancient books about sacred birds, which made Song Huizong Zhao Ji understand the sacred birds better.

The soldiers standing on the mountain path below responded immediately, but still did not disperse immediately.

As an emperor, he collected ancient books from all over the world in the palace. Even ancient books that had been said to have been lost among the people still existed in the royal library.

There was also a look of expectation on his face, and his eyes were full of desire.

And on the flattest land under Lishan Mountain, soldiers in armor stood tall, with spears like a forest, flags fluttering, and the emperor's camp was stationed, which was extremely majestic.

"Is that the divine bird?!"

Before the emperor camped, Song Huizong Zhao Ji also looked at the divine bird suspended in the sky with a shocked expression, seemingly stunned by the appearance of the divine bird at this time.

Brilliant!
This caused everyone at the bottom of the mountain to look up involuntarily, and upwards to Lishan Mountain. The holy light seemed to illuminate their faces a bit!
Immediately, their expressions changed, from disappointment to excitement, from anticipation to excitement, or from expressionlessness to shock!

In fact, even the current emperor of the Song Dynasty, Song Huizong Zhao Ji, came. After all, he was still stationed under Lishan Mountain, waiting for his appearance.

Under Lishan Mountain, the first people who came have lost the blood in their hearts. When the blood fades away, they become endlessly depressed and discouraged, and then gradually leave.

However, more people are coming from far away, which also results in the number of people under Lishan Mountain always being so large, seemingly unabated.

Whether it is ancient books recording divine birds in the pre-Qin period, Qin and Han Dynasties, or Han and Tang Dynasties, ancient books recording divine birds are all collected in the imperial palace.

There are even more ancient books about the divine bird, which allowed Song Huizong Zhao Ji to understand the divine bird better than anyone else and know more things about the divine bird.

There is a clear breeze in the mountain stream, the sun is shining brightly, the divine birds are soaring, and the divine glory is majestic!
……

At this moment, Song Huizong Zhao Ji had also walked out of the camp, came to the open space, and looked up at Li Mountain.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by the divine bird, and then they expressed their doubts.

In contrast, Bai Zhi didn't care.

Behind him, Cai Jing and other courtiers who stayed under Lishan followed, and they also conveyed the news of your visit to the court to Song Huizong Zhao Ji, so that Song Huizong Zhao Ji would not be separated from the court.

……

The white feathers streaked across the void, and the four long tail feathers drew a graceful arc in the void, and a faint holy white light emanated from the whole body, like dots of stars, breaking away from the feathers and annihilating in the void. among.

They marveled at the wonder of the divine bird, and the holy light fell on them, seeming to make their whole bodies feel relaxed.

However, at this moment, whether it was the emperor, the people or the soldiers, when they looked at Lishan, the originally unchanged Lishan suddenly changed!
But I saw that above Lishan Mountain, under the cover of the sun, the light was bright, but at this time, Lishan Mountain seemed to be emitting an even brighter divine light!

"The divine bird is out!"

Flawless!

"I, Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty, have met His Highness the Divine Bird!"

Song Huizong Zhao Ji said loudly, and at the same time he bowed deeply to the sacred bird and did not get up for a long time.

Bai Zhi flew closer and looked at the Song Emperor Huizong Zhao Ji who saluted him, and many thoughts came to his mind.

The Song Dynasty was a dynasty with mixed praise and criticism in Chinese history, but it was more of a dynasty that made people angry and indignant!

In fact, those who came after him even called the Song Dynasty a coward!
But no matter what, the Song Dynasty was a real dynasty after all, and it was determined by many objective conditions.

As for the emperor in front of him at this time, Song Huizong Zhao Ji, an incompetent emperor, Bai Zhi didn't have many thoughts, and he had no decision to communicate with him.

However, now that the other party is here, for the sake of the Song Dynasty, Bai Zhi feels that he still has to get in touch with the other party. As for why it was said to be for the Song Dynasty?
After all, although the Song Dynasty at this time is no different from the Song Dynasty in history, after all, its own legends are spread, which may be able to save, correct the chaos, and establish a powerful Chinese dynasty again!

"Emperor of the Song Dynasty..."

Bai Zhi flew above Song Huizong Zhao Ji, and then called out in a low voice.

However, the sound of the divine bird echoed in the void, like the son of thunder, rolling above the clouds, so that everyone under Mount Li could hear it.

For a moment, everyone under Lishan Mountain looked at the divine bird in the void. At the same time, they paid full attention to the conversation between the divine bird and the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.

But it was obvious that they could only hear what the divine bird said, but not what the current emperor said.

"I've seen the magical bird!"

Hearing the divine bird calling him, Song Huizong Zhao Ji immediately saluted excitedly and quickly stood up to answer.

"Why here?"

Bai Zhi asked knowingly.

Hearing the divine bird asking about his origin, Song Huizong Zhao Ji quickly replied excitedly:
"I am just waiting for the divine bird! Waiting for the divine bird, please His Majesty the divine bird to bless the Song Dynasty!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ji, Huizong of the Song Dynasty, was sincere and even choked up in his words, "At this point in the Song Dynasty, it was arbitrarily humiliated by the barbarian country and was forced to recognize it as a country of brothers and donate annual coins in order to survive! "

"More importantly, we must always be wary of attacks from barbarian countries. The territory is incomplete and the borders are restless..."

"...That's why I'm here waiting for His Majesty the Divine Bird to protect the Song Dynasty and help the Song Dynasty to defeat the enemy, take back the homeland, and revive China!!!"

Bai Zhi remained silent after hearing Song Huizong Zhao Ji's request.

To be honest, the reason why the Song Dynasty was so weak was ultimately because the Song Dynasty itself suppressed military power and emphasized culture. Therefore, the army of the Song Dynasty was weak and retreated under the attack of enemy countries. The territory was lost, and the Chinese clothes were trampled by the barbarians!
Bai Zhi knew this, and he also knew that the emperor of the Song Dynasty also knew this, but why didn't more changes happen?

Because he cannot make changes, he can only intervene through external forces. Perhaps this is why Emperor Huizong Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty saw the divine bird here!
Of course, this is also Bai Zhi's guess.

At this time, Bai Zhi also heard his admiration for the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty from Song Huizong Zhao Ji's words, so he said:
"The Great Han Dynasty and the Great Tang Dynasty were powerful and powerful for a time, and their majesty was thousands of miles away, and everyone in the world followed them, all because they had good ministers and generals in their court and loyal people in the world!"

"The common people are polite, benevolent and righteous, read ancient classics thoroughly, have no worries about food, are personally brave, and are loyal to China!"

"And what does the emperor think of the Song Dynasty at this time?"

The divine bird's inquiry is like a yellow bell, reverberating in the sky, inspiring people's hearts, filling their ears like thunder, and vibrating their spirits!
When the people in the distance heard this, they couldn't help but lower their heads, but some of them still raised their heads and looked in the direction of the emperor and the sacred bird.

They could naturally hear what the divine bird said, and they could hear it clearly. They didn't know what the emperor said just now, but what the divine bird said now made them think deeply.

I can't help but compare it with the people of the Great Han Dynasty and the Great Tang Dynasty mentioned by Shenniao, and the result is that it is obvious that the people of the Great Tang Dynasty and the Great Han Dynasty are superior.

This makes them feel somewhat inferior.

……

Song Huizong Zhao Ji couldn't help but fell silent when he heard what the divine bird said. To be honest, as an emperor, he didn't know much about what the divine bird said.

This made him feel very ashamed. Of course, this shame only lasted for a moment and then disappeared. In his opinion, this matter should be something that his ministers should worry about, and what does it have to do with him, the emperor!
Just leave it to your own ministers!

Therefore, in response to the words of the divine bird, Song Huizong Zhao Ji immediately nodded and said: "Although the Song Dynasty at this time is not as good as the Tang Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, it is almost the same!"

Hearing this, Bai Zhi couldn't help but glance at Song Huizong Zhao Ji, wondering where he got his confidence.

Cai Jing, who was now behind Song Huizong Zhao Ji, couldn't help but lower his head at this time. After all, everything about the Song Dynasty was reported to the emperor through him, the prime minister.

Everything the emperor knew was what he wanted the emperor to know.

Therefore, this is the reason why he feels guilty, he is afraid that the emperor will tell that this is what he, the prime minister, said, and the divine bird will know about it, I am afraid...

According to the magical power of the divine bird, I am afraid that the divine bird cannot be deceived!
Cai Jing's reaction was unmistakable in front of Bai Zhi's eyes, and he also knew that the person behind Song Huizong Zhao Ji at this time was Cai Jing. After all, he was the most traitorous official in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Bai Zhi needed to find out more about it.

Seeing Song Huizong Zhao Ji's sincere expression again, Bai Zhi was silent for a moment, and then he stopped using his divine power to expand his voice. What he said could only be heard by Song Huizong Zhao Ji himself:

"Are you willing to sacrifice what you have now for the prosperity of the Song Dynasty?"

Song Huizong Zhao Ji: "..."

Hearing the words of the divine bird, Song Huizong Zhao Ji couldn't help but fell silent.

How could he not understand the meaning of the divine bird?

Could it be that the prosperity of the Song Dynasty still required the efforts of the emperor?

...It is indeed the emperor’s contribution.

Reading through ancient books, whether it was the Pre-Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, or the Tang Dynasty, in the prosperous dynasties, the emperors at that time seemed to have experienced extraordinary sufferings.

In the pre-Qin period, there were also allusions about lying on firewood and tasting gallbladder.

Song Huizong Zhao Ji hesitated for a moment, and his expression gradually became firm. He recalled the glory and wealth he had enjoyed in the palace since he became the emperor, and it seemed that it was enough!
At this time, I heard the words of the divine bird, exchanging one's own glory and wealth for the prosperity of the Song Dynasty. No matter how you look at it, it is a very cost-effective deal.

Not to mention, since they are all named after their own emperors, they will surely be famous throughout the ages, be passed down for a long time, be recorded in history books, and be respected by future generations!

At the same point, Song Huizong Zhao Ji immediately gritted his teeth, then nodded and said: "I do!"

"Are you really willing?!"

Bai Zhi asked again and confirmed.

"really!"

Song Huizong Zhao Ji nodded solemnly.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi immediately said again: "If this is the case, then the emperor will give it to the person after death!"

"Huh?...give...give death?!"

Hearing the words of the divine bird, Song Huizong Zhao Ji suddenly showed a look of shock. At the same time, he looked at the divine bird in the sky with a look of disbelief, and then slowly turned around to look at Cai Jing behind him.

At this time, Cai Jing, who was behind Song Huizong Zhao Ji, did not hear the conversation between the divine bird and the emperor just now, but he could see that the emperor was speaking, but he could not hear it, and he was confused in his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly saw the emperor looking back at him with a shocked look on his face!
