Chapter 3 Supplements to Blue Beads, Blue Birds Holding Branches

"Dragon and Lion Fight is actually a struggle between the two major Cao Gang alliances in the dynasty, one of which is the alliance headed by our Tuo Shi Tang, and the other is the Cao Gang alliance headed by the "Panlong Club".

"According to the past, the power of our Tuo Shitang is mainly distributed in the twenty-two southern continents, and the power of the Panlong Association is mainly distributed in the seventeen continents in the middle. Their headquarters is in Hedaizhou, which is the mouth of the Yellow Sea."

"From the Yellow Sea to the Inland River to the west, via Hedaizhou, Moshangzhou, Qingyezhou, into Luojing, and north to Naolanzhou, this important golden waterway is in their hands."

"According to the past, we have a relationship between the well water and the river water, and there are many swamps in the middle of the seven mines, and there are not many exchanges."

"Only a few years ago, King Huainan was ordered by the emperor to supervise the construction of the canal, preparing to connect the water network of the seven continents of Mianlei, open up the waterway between the Yellow Sea and the South China Sea, and connect the central and southern parts."

"So, is it to compete for this new waterway?" Roland Hill pondered.

"Yes."

Although the other party said so, Roland Hill felt that there should be more than these reasons, but these things have little to do with him, so he doesn't need to pay too much attention.

It seems that I have to go to Nanfengzhou first. Anyway, if Yu Baiqiu hadn't taken him out of the mountains, who was ignorant and amnesiac, and led the way and protected him all the way, I'm afraid he would have suffered a lot at that time. Good people are not good people. Anywhere.

"I think about it, maybe I want to go to the south with you." Roland Hill stroked his hair and replied slowly.

"Together? This..." Several people present hesitated.

Although Lorraine Hill looks very beautiful, they are from the Cao Gang and have experienced a lot. Naturally, it is clear that such a girl can walk alone outside. She is definitely not a simple person, and she doesn't know each other, in case she is a villain...

Although several members were quite moved, the leading man stood up and declined Loren Hill's request.

"Sorry, this eldest lady, we still have to carry out tasks here. It is inconvenient to lead people on the same road. Besides, we didn't know each other before. It's really embarrassing." team of people.

"This is also the case. In fact, I saw it on the street just now. It's the lack of medicines related to treatment." Roland Hill put forward a condition that the other party could not refuse.

"Uh, yes." Although I wanted to deny it, it was over.

"I think I can provide you with some medicines, rest assured that the quality will not be bad."

Hearing that Roland Hill said that he had something they urgently needed, these people were overjoyed at first, but also had some doubts and worries. How could there be such a coincidence, this eldest lady has what they were looking for, wouldn't it? It's a scam.

Looking at the suspicious eyes of several people, Roland Hill had to show a helpless smile, which was indeed surprising and suspicious.

"You don't have to worry about my cargo. In fact, I am a member of the envoy sent to the Western Continent in the Wang Chaochun lawsuit, and I am returning now, so the ship also brought a lot of Western Continent cargo, including the things you need."

The Golden Sparrow Witch is the pinnacle of all the witches in the Chunguan system. She can even enter the palace directly, and her status is half a level lower than that of the Chunguan Chief. She is a high-ranking member in the outside world. This kind of proof and guarantee, For Loren Hill, it couldn't be easier.

"Having said that, let's take a look at the things before we talk about it." The other people were still dubious, and the recent events had made them no longer easily trust the merchants in the harbor.

It's a pity that this is not the southern part of the dynasty. The large and small chambers of commerce there, they are very familiar with Tuo Shitang, and they have a lot of dealings.

"Then we'll see you tomorrow, I'll let someone bring the goods to the market, you can check it carefully when you get there." Roland Hill nodded.

"That's the best way." Others agreed.

Afterwards, Roland Hill and Eidolon said their goodbyes and left, while these members of Tuo Shi Tang sat in front of the hotel bar and had a drinking discussion.

"Boss Xuemo, this little girl didn't feel reliable just now." The brawny man who was irritable on the street before muttered with a glass of wine in his wide palm.

"Stupid cow, you will be more careful now. Why didn't you see you cautiously before? If you hadn't been in a hurry to force others, and we checked them too hastily, what would have resulted in today's consequences."

"You..." The strong man opened his eyes angrily, and wanted to do something, but was stopped by the man who was the leader of the team holding his arm.

"Ao Niu." The voice was low, making the surrounding people suddenly quiet.

"Big brother..." At this time, the strong man known as Ao Niu also lost his breath. After all, he knew his own mistakes.

I was thinking about it just now, came up with an idea to remind, diverted my attention, and showed it, but I didn't expect it to be seen by the team leader.

"Hmph. I'll go to collect the punishment myself after I go back this time."

"Understood." Although he is physically strong and the people around him are like mountains, when he said this, he carried an inexplicable grievance, which made people feel a huge contrast.

Afterwards, a few people ate something, and when they were about to leave to rest, the team leader shouted that the woman with dark red bangs in the team stayed.

"Leng Yan, go and invite the forensic expert who is stationed in the port of Tianhai Pavilion tomorrow to try the truth of that young lady. You can't go wrong this time."

"Here is the fee for inviting someone, you can take it." After speaking, he took out a small bag, which contained about sixty silver rings of Xuanchi, which landed on the table and made a slight sound.

Picking up the bag of coins, she felt the weight in her hand and took a deep breath.

gas, and then should be down.

It seems that this time it is necessary to seek stability. The appraisers of Bibo Tianhai Pavilion are not cheap. These masters are specially responsible for identifying the quality of the goods, which is an essential occupation in coastal ports.

After returning to the inn where the fleet was stationed, Roland Hill and Eidolon first washed up, and then put on refreshing clothes and sat by the window to enjoy the shade.

The sea breeze is a little humid, and from the window on the third floor, you can see the lights in the port in the distance, as well as the bustling night scene on the street outside the hotel courtyard.

There are many caravans on the Pearl Islands, and it is very noisy even at night. Many shops do not even close all night, and there are people on duty and in and out all night.

In the evening, Lorraine Hill could hear the sound of gongs and drums in the distance, as well as the sound of singing or playing. Compared with the remote towns and villages, the entertainment industry here is also very developed. .

"Are you going to watch the opera?" Lorraine Hill was suddenly a little interested. The last time I saw such a performance was when I was cultivating in the Ning Zi Zhao Ye Palace.

"Opera, uh, since Sister Lorraine wants to go, then I'll go too." It can be seen that if it wasn't for Lorraine's mention, Ye Ling, the little guy, really didn't want to go at all.

"What's the matter, so uninterested?" Roland Hill asked Ye Ling who was teasing Dai Ju with interest.

"Because I listened to it a lot when I was a child. At that time, my grandparents often took me there, but I couldn't understand it. I just felt that they were wearing colorful clothes, and it was very interesting to dance on them. But after watching it for a long time, slowly I got bored, and then I found various excuses not to go and played elsewhere." Eidolon put down the food in his hand and gave it to the chubby Dai Ju, then jumped to Roland Hill.

"It's different to go with Sister Lorraine. It should be very interesting."

"what about this?"

"Because Sister Lorraine listens to the play seriously, she should look good." Well, she looks at people when they watch the play.

The two sat by the windowsill, watched the bustling night scene on the street, chatted for a while, and then walked downstairs.

"Lord Miko." Several soldiers in battle robes and scales saw Roland Hill go downstairs and hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Don't be so polite." Roland Hill waved and let them continue eating, drinking and chatting before coming to the counter.

"Is there any good place to watch opera here?" She looked at the clerk behind the counter.

"Sir, this one you mentioned is very easy to find. Once you get out of the street, go south for about 300 meters. There is a place with a tall red plaque. There are long red lanterns floating there. It is the largest theater in the harbor."

"Okay, I know."

After thanking the clerk, Lorraine Hill walked out of the hotel and into the noisy street.

The way is full of pedestrians and lanterns, and there are hawkers everywhere. There are also night stalls with various snacks on the street, so the gluttonous Ye Ling and Dai Ju have to stop and buy some.

"Here is this." Ye Ling held a piece of golden scones wrapped in oiled paper, which exuded a hot aroma, which made people's appetite greatly increased.

"Okay." Roland Hill took it, took a small bite, and a hot and sweet aroma of wheat poured into his mouth.

Although it was baked golden on the outside, it was very soft on the inside and had melted sugar, which was delicious.

The two of them were like this, eating snacks and walking towards the theater.

When he came to the plaque mentioned by the clerk, Lorraine Hill saw the crowd in front of him. This theater was very popular.

"It's probably late." But the two still walked over.

After waiting and queuing, the two entered the theater with tickets.

Different from the theaters in the Plantagenet Dynasty, the Western-style stepped auditorium is obviously adopted here, which can accommodate more people, and the people behind are rarely blocked, so that the performance on the stage can be clearly seen.

Shortly after the two sat down, the lights in the theater gradually went out, and then the front desk lit up with a soft halo, and then the host stepped forward to explain the project of tonight's performance.

"Cyanzhu Supplements, Blue Birds Holding Branches"

"North of Lianshan, west of Yuanfeng, in the cold sky and snow, a blue bird came across the sea and landed on Qishan."

The dark blue curtain is pulled up, and the oil painting stands symbolizing the waves are pushed forward and backward from time to time by the people behind them.

Sitting in this dark hall, watching the scene illuminated by the soft light on the high platform, the audience below quickly became immersed in it, and Ye Ling, who had previously said that he was not interested, also changed his temper at this time, his eyes widened, watching performance above.

Soon, a huge oil painting slowly dragged up the platform, depicting a blue-feathered bird flying with outstretched wings. The mysterious lines are like some kind of ancient writing. It held a branch in its mouth, with green leaves and a bunch of small bright red fruits on it.

As the huge oil painting of the blue bird slowly advanced, the 'sea waves' below retreated, and slowly ushered in an erected 'alpine' wooden frame. The feeling of a legend.

The 'sea waves' dissipated, the blue bird stopped in front of the mountain and slowly descended, and at this moment, a slight sound of collapse sounded, and then the mountain cracked, revealing one of the tall and magnificent figures.

It is as high as a mountain, its color is bronze, and it is as strong as a god. It has three sides and six arms, which block the blue bird and prevent it from flying.

The blue bird fights against it, but loses, weeping and weeping, the branches fall, the green leaves turn into mountains and forests, and the red fruits fall into the green

In the mouth of the god of copper.

The mountains are shaken down, leaving thousands of miles of fertile fields, the snow melts into rivers, and flows into them.

Thus, the people were gathered together, and the five kingdoms were formed.

Loren Hill sat under the stage and watched the blue bird fight against the giant mountain god on the high platform. The fiery red streamer was intertwined with the blue breeze, and then the curtain fell and was pulled up again, and the previous oil painting also changed accordingly.

The blue bird, which was originally high-pitched, became haggard and covered with scars, crying and weeping, and the branches and leaves in its mouth also fell. The red fruits were eaten by the mountain god, and the green branches and leaves turned into green mountains and forests.

The curtain on the stage slowly fell again, covering the blue bird and the giant with three sides and six arms again, and then slowly pushed in new mountains and trees standing on both sides, and the ground was also sprinkled with golden light and shadow.

Afterwards, pedestrians wearing shabby clothes came here with their families and their families. They followed the signs of the houses and the city walls, and then the smoke of the cooking smoke was raised, and it was prosperous.

This is the origin of the five countries between the Eastern Continent and the Qishan Mountains in the north. They believe in the blue bird and respect it. They are good at dyeing clothes in blue, drink the water of snow-capped mountains and grow long, control the cold eagles in the mountains to fly, and conquer the surrounding barren wild mountains. Valley, step by step to expand the living area.

The main drama at the beginning tells the legend of one of the five phoenixes, the blue bird holding the branch and falling into the country.

Within the Plantagenet Dynasty, there was an express rule that all theaters must take out one-tenth of the repertoire they performed to appear in the main drama, that is, the repertoire about the legend of the Five Phoenixes, as well as various characters and classic stories in the early years of the dynasty.

Now that the beginning of the play has passed, the curtain is slowly lowered on the high stage, and there is a rest, and then the entertainment drama tonight.

"Bai Lu Ming Ye, Pei Huan's voiceless voice, treat my beauty, Yu Xue Ma stands." The voice of the narrator was distant and sighed, with sadness and nostalgia.

Snowflakes made by extraordinary magic fell from the empty and high dome, and then the curtain slowly opened, revealing a figure standing with his back to the audience.

In the background is the barren and endless land and wilderness, the sky is full of snow and withered grass, which is particularly desolate and lonely.

After that narration was over, the figure on the high platform turned around and began to sing, the beginning and the past of this ancient story.

The bachelor who was born in the southern country, got the title, went to the north to join the army, and then met a woman from the tribe in this wasteland.

Although in Loren Hill's view, such a story is a bit old-fashioned, but in a conservative dynasty, the story of a dignified gentleman's bachelor and that rough and agile alien woman's love story is still very novel and attractive. Few people are watching with relish.

The plot deepened step by step, and the audience gradually forgot the sense of grandeur and splendor they enjoyed before, and began to immerse themselves in the continuous and poignant beauty of love. It was just the girl sitting under the stage, still revolving in their minds. A story about the bluebird.

What is that bronze giant with three faces and six arms, why was it able to defeat one of the powerful five phoenixes in the past, and what did the branches and leaves in the mouth of the blue bird represent, and why that failure made her so sad.
