Chapter 270 - 270 270 Seven Star Chain Beads The Sea is Calm
?Chapter 270: Chapter 270 Seven Star Chain Beads, The Sea is Calm and the Rivers are Clear Chapter 270: Chapter 270 Seven Star Chain Beads, The Sea is Calm and the Rivers are Clear Murong Jiu was filled with curiosity about the natural phenomena and the red and white divine birds, so she waited for Jun Yuyan to come back and uncover the secrets for her.
But before Jun Yuyan returned, her third brother, who had gone out, came back first. He had not been on a military campaign, so he had not accompanied their father to the Imperial Palace this time.
Seeing his sister’s curiosity, he moved a chair over, smiling as he explained,
“Those two birds, one red and one white, were caught by men the Prince had sent to the deep forests in the south a long time ago. The red one is a Celestial Rooster, and the white one is a long-feathered white crane. They were tamed for several months. They circled over the Capital City before flying towards the Imperial Palace.”
Murong Jiu knew about the Celestial Rooster, also known as the Golden Rooster, but it was not a chicken, rather a very beautiful bird. Its shape resembled the legendary Phoenix, with bright red feathers and a golden crown, and a tail nearly three feet long. When it took flight, it resembled a Phoenix crossing the sky.
But such birds were extremely rare and very timid. They lived only in the deep, remote mountains where few people ventured, so not many knew of them.
The long-feathered white crane was even rarer. In people’s hearts, the white crane symbolized longevity, but as one could tell from paintings, white cranes were black and white in color, with a reddish head. The long-feathered white crane, however, not only had longer feathers but was also pure white all over, an extraordinary rarity, just like the white wolf that appeared in a pack of grey wolves after a Triumph.
Moreover, after being tamed for several months, their flight was synchronized and graceful. One red, one white—they were indeed eye-catching. No wonder they were taken as an omen of good fortune.
The common folk had limited knowledge, and many women had never even left the city gates of the Capital City in their entire lives. How could they recognize any rare birds? They believed the red bird resembled the Phoenix in paintings, and perhaps that white bird could be the legendary white Phoenix.
