The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 342 Lishan Tour

"Go to Lishan to see?"

Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Shi Miaorou looked stunned. At this time, she also realized that she had never been to Lishan since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

But when she heard the divine bird propose it, she felt yearning in her heart.

So she nodded slightly, "Okay!"

"Then let's go to Lishan and take a look..."

Go and see what the legend is like.

Various legends in history seem to revolve around Lishan, but I have never been to Lishan, which is also a pity.

"Let me tell them..."

Shi Miaorou had a smile on her face, and then looked at the maids not far behind her. Since she resigned from the position of Mr. Daming, Daming has taken special care of her and arranged a large number of maids to serve Shi Miaorou.

A maid was called, and then Shi Miaorou said: "I may have to leave the capital in the next few days. You go back to Zhirou and tell others that I left with the divine bird, so that they don't have to worry."

"Yes!"

After hearing Shi Miaorou's words, the maid looked up and looked at the pavilion not far away. Sure enough, she saw the figure of the divine bird, so she nodded quickly.

She was ordered by the current Mr. Daming to always look after Shi Miaorou. After all, Shi Miaorou was old and needed care.

But since it was the divine bird that took Shi Miaorou away, there was no need to worry.

Shi Miaorou nodded slightly, and then looked at the divine bird on the side. The divine bird then waved its feathers, and a blue light instantly enveloped Shi Miaorou, and then one person and one bird disappeared into the pavilion in an instant.

The remaining maids had a look of awe on their faces, and then quickly reported the matter to the people above.

……

When the disappeared Shi Miaorou reappeared, she was already in another world. She raised her head and looked around, seeing an unfamiliar environment. Then she looked at Bai Zhi aside and asked:
"Is this Lishan Mountain?"

"Not yet..."

Bai Zhi shook his head.

To be honest, Bai Zhi had not been under Lishan Mountain for a long time, and he was surprised by the changes in the environment under Lishan Mountain.

To be honest, the changes at the foot of Lishan Mountain are indeed great.

For example, originally there should be a village at the foot of Lishan Mountain, and next to the village, there should be continuous farmland.

But at this moment, it seemed that everything around him had changed, completely different from what he had seen in his mind.

The original village is still there, but the continuous farmland has disappeared, replaced by a dense forest. There is only a trail through the dense jungle leading to Lishan Mountain ahead.

Hearing Bai Zhi's description of the scene at the foot of Lishan Mountain in the past, Shi Miaorou nodded slightly and said: "It should be done by local officials. After all, the Ming Dynasty now has vast overseas lands, and some unnecessary land in the Ming Dynasty does not need to be cultivated anymore." food, so much of the land was restored to forest.”

"That's fine..."

Seeing this, Bai Zhi was also very satisfied.

"When you come to Lishan Mountain, you naturally have to climb it yourself."

Bai Zhi explained, then looked at the old Shi Miaorou and said:
“Can you climb a mountain?”

"Don't underestimate me!"

When Shi Miaorou heard Bai Zhi's words, she couldn't help but feel eager to win, and then she took steps towards the path in the jungle.

The cicada noise forest is more quiet, and the bird song mountain is even quieter.

The quiet scenery can make people feel relaxed, as if the whole person has integrated into the world and feels the tranquility.

An aging old woman stepped firmly on the stone steps, and then slowly climbed up the mountain.

Surrounding her are the endless rows of beautiful buildings and jade buildings. Although the beautiful buildings and jade buildings are shaded by lush trees in the mountains, they don't have any sense of dilapidation. They are even still magnificent, as if they were newly built.

While climbing the mountain, Shi Miaorou was also pulling the surrounding buildings with her eyes full of curiosity. At the same time, she couldn't help but whisper:
"This is a building built by the Ming Dynasty..."

Next to him, Mengniu could clearly see that there were buildings made of concrete, but most of them still used wood. Under the cornices and cornices, there was the gorgeous style of China, but also the rugged steel of today's ranks.

The combination of these two styles makes the architecture of Ming Dynasty completely different from the previous architectural styles.

As Shi Miaorou climbs, the architectural style suddenly changes, and it once again becomes a jade building, built against the mountain in the forest, or relying on ancient trees, forming a unique scenery.

"This should have been built during the Song Dynasty..."

Because the people of the Yuan Dynasty after the Song Dynasty only knew how to collect people's wealth and anointing on the land of China, not for governance, so naturally there were no palaces built by the Yuan people here.

Then, Shi Miaorou went up again, and she saw the buildings built during the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The buildings during the Tang Dynasty looked even more magnificent, and had an indescribable power and domineering look. This seemed to be the same as the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. , Mind-related.

Further up, I saw an even more ancient building - Dahan!
But no matter what kind of building it is, every building under Lishan Mountain is still as tall as new. It is obvious that someone has been maintaining and repairing it here.

"I've seen the divine bird! I've seen the gentleman!"

When Shi Miaorou passed the buildings of the Han Dynasty and was about to see the real Bird Palace, a group of soldiers suddenly appeared in front of them, and then saluted Bai Zhi and Shi Miaorou respectfully.

"The palace guard..."

Shi Miaorou naturally knew about the palace guards.

After all, he had also given material support to the temple guardians on Lishan Mountain.

"How did you know that I am Mr. Ming?"

After all, Shi Miaorou was already very old at this time, and most of the Mr. Daming rumored by the outside world were in the form of beautiful women.

So, who can know about the aging first gentleman of Ming Dynasty?
I am afraid that even if Shi Miaorou is walking in the busy city at this time, people who pass her will think that she is just an ordinary old woman.

Hearing Shi Miaorou's words, the palace guard quickly and respectfully replied: "After all, sir, he came with the divine bird. Moreover, it is rumored that after sir abdicated, he will only have the divine bird as his companion."

"I see."

Shi Miaorou nodded, then glanced at the many palace guards around him, and asked with concern: "How is your life on Mount Li? Are there any difficulties?"

"Sir, no!"

Hearing Shi Miaorou's concern, the palace guards showed gratitude on their faces, "The Ming Dynasty is very powerful now and treats us very well."

"That's good."

"Then are these the only ones you keep as guards?"

Seeing that the number of people in front of him was a little small, Shi Miaorou couldn't help but ask.

"More people are guarding all over Lishan, and the people here are only a small part."

The leader of the palace guard replied.

"Then will all the descendants of you palace guardians become palace guardians?"

"No, those in the family who want to become palace guards will naturally take the initiative to stay on Mount Li, and those who can't stand loneliness will not restrict their freedom." After asking for relevant information, Shi Miaorou then Keep walking forward.

Bai Zhi followed her. Although the scenery above Li Mountain had changed slightly, it was still the scene in Bai Zhi's memory.

Therefore, it is not very attractive to him.

Before Shi Miaorou finally climbed up to the real Divine Bird Temple, three magnificent and ancient buildings stood upright in the mountains, and the sense of rich history instantly hit her face.

Shi Miaorou looked up and watched the entire Divine Bird Palace quietly, feeling the weight of history contained in them.

While Shi Miaorou was watching the Divine Bird Hall, Bai Zhi came to the side hall and saw that there were still a large number of wine jars stacked next to the side hall. After checking, the wine jars were still full of wine.

On the other side, Shi Miaorou also walked over and saw the wine jar next to the side hall, with a look of curiosity on his face.

"This is a wine brewed by one person during the Han Dynasty. It is not afraid of direct sunlight next to this side hall, and because of fallen leaves, most of it is buried underground. Perhaps this is the reason why it can remain for more than a thousand years."

Hearing Bai Zhi's explanation, Shi Miaorou nodded slightly, then took a jar of wine, borrowed a wine glass from the palace guard, and then slowly opened the jar.

The moment the wine jar was opened, the rich aroma of wine instantly filled the air, lingering in front of the entire Divine Bird Palace, and then slowly drifted downwards.

Several palace guards smelled the strong aroma of wine and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Seeing this scene, Bai Zhi immediately waved his wings slightly, and then saw the wine jar covered by dead leaves slowly fly out in an instant, floating in the void, shaking slightly, the dead leaves fell, revealing the already somewhat dirty wine jar.

Under Bai Zhi's control, more than a dozen jars of wine slowly flew toward the palace guards, "These jars of wine are for you..."

"Thank you, Divine Bird!"

Seeing this, the palace guard suddenly showed excitement, and then quickly took the wine jar.

However, they did not drink it immediately. After all, they had to guard the Bird Palace at this time and could not interfere with drinking.

At this moment, Shi Miaorou had poured the fragrant sake into the cup, and the aroma of the surrounding wine became even stronger.

Of course, Shi Miaorou did not forget to pour a glass for Bai Zhi and put it aside. One person and one bird sat on the steps, and then slowly tasted the wine in the cup.

"This wine is indeed very good..."

Shi Miaorou took a sip and then said this.

"After all, it has been stored for nearly two thousand years!"

Bai Zhi also lowered his head and took a sip, perhaps because he had become a black bird. The rich aroma of wine was like water in his mouth. Although it also tasted like wine, it was more bland.
This made Bai Zhi lose interest in tasting the wine.

But Shi Miaorou was very fond of what was in the cup. She tasted it slowly and drank several cups without knowing it.

A faint blush appeared on the old face.

"No more drinking..."

Shi Miaorou took the initiative to put away the wine, then put the wine jar away, then stood up and walked into the main hall.

In the main hall of the Divine Bird Hall, everything inside seems extremely ancient. The bronze divine tree candlesticks made of bronze, the bronze patterns of pre-Qin divine beasts, and the bronze statues of divine birds are all obviously different from the aesthetics of the Ming Dynasty.

"Is this the place where the divine bird sleeps?"

Shi Miaorou saw a beautifully woven silk nest placed in the center of the Divine Bird Hall, and the nest was very neat. Apparently, when the Divine Bird was not coming, someone would clean it every day.

"That's right!"

Bai Zhi nodded slightly.

Hearing Bai Zhi's confirmation, Shi Miaorou couldn't help but look at it a few more times before looking elsewhere again. Go and see the place where the sacred bird once slept.

After an unknown amount of time, Shi Miaorou walked out of the main hall of the Divine Bird Hall. At this time, the sun was setting outside, and the bright red sunset shone on her body, making people feel more peaceful.

Shi Miaorou looked up at the setting sun in the distance, looking at the entire land shrouded in the setting sun, and the entire Lishan Mountain was also illuminated by the setting sun, giving it a different color scene.

Shi Miaorou turned sideways slightly and looked at the Divine Bird Temple behind her, which was shrouded in the setting sun. It seemed that the Divine Bird Temple was emitting brilliant light at this time, trying to create a different kind of magic.

She shook her head slightly, and then said to Bai Zhi beside her: "I want to live on this Lishan Mountain for a while, how about more than one divine bird?"

"You can make your own decision. After all, in today's Ming Dynasty, no one will go against your ideas."

"Yes!"

Shi Miaorou sighed, then walked towards the temple guard below and told a few words. The temple guard quickly left respectfully, but a moment later, the temple guard came to the Divine Bird Temple again out of breath. At the same time, in his arms, Still holding some brand new bedding.

"Sir, this is a new quilt that my wife just made. It's just for you..."

The palace guard had a happy smile on his face, as if he was happy and happy because of his hardworking and virtuous wife.

"Thank you very much!"

Since the other party can bring out the new quilt made by his wife, it means that the decision has been made, and Shi Miaorou cannot refuse.

"I wonder if you, sir, need any other items? I will also bring them to you. After all, they are just some daily necessities and they are not very valuable."

The palace guard handed the quilt in his arms to Shi Miaorou, and then said again.

"That's good...that's good!"

Shi Miaorou nodded, "Thank you very much!"

"It's okay..."

The man in Guanzhong showed a rather shy smile, and then went down the mountain to bring something.

"and many more!"

However, Shi Miaorou suddenly stopped him and said:
"Tell the officials at the foot of the mountain that I will stay on top of Lishan Mountain for a few days, so that they don't have to worry."

"Yes!"

……

The rapid development of the Ming Dynasty did not cause changes in the environment. Even at night, the sky was already filled with stars.

As the night deepens, the stars in the sky are shining brightly, and just the light of the stars seems to illuminate the earth brightly.

Shi Miaorou sat on the steps of the side hall, looking up at the stars in the sky.

Beside her, Bai Zhi also sat quietly.

I don't know how much time passed before Shi Miaorou asked: "Did the divine birds once live in this divine bird palace and look up at the stars like they do now?"

"Yes, and I won't..."

Bai Zhi began to reminisce and said: "Most of the time, I fall into deep sleep, and sometimes, like now, I look up at the stars..."

Having said this, Bai Zhi looked at the wine jar covered by dead leaves, and then overlapped the Shi Miaorou in front of him with a former figure.

It seems that a thousand years ago in the Han Dynasty, there was also a woman like this, sitting here many times, looking up at the stars, from a young girl to an old woman...
