Chapter 3 The Blue Bird Picking Up the Branches(2/2)

valley, gradually expanding the living area.

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

Within the Plantagenet Dynasty, there was a clear stipulation that one-tenth of the plays performed in all theaters must be used to star in the main drama, that is, the play 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 opening play has passed, the curtain slowly lowers on the high stage and we take a short break before tonight's entertainment drama begins.

"The white deer sings in the wild, wearing a ring with a clear sound, waiting for my beautiful lady, standing alone in the snow." The voice of the narrator is distant and sighing, seeming to be sad and nostalgic.

Snowflakes created 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 endless barren land and wilderness, with snow and dead grass all over the sky, making it particularly desolate and lonely.

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

A bachelor who was born in the southern country got a good name and went to the north to join the army. Then he met a tribal woman in the wilderness. The two fell in love with her, but then they had no choice but to separate.

Although in Lorraine Hill's view, such a story is a bit cliché, but in a conservative dynasty, the story of the love between a dignified and gentlemanly bachelor and the rough and smart foreign woman is still very novel and attractive.

Few people watched it with gusto.

As the plot deepens step by step, the audience slowly forgets the sense of grandeur and magnificence they had before appreciating the Legend of the Five Phoenixes, and begins to immerse themselves in the continuous and poignant beauty of love. However, the girl sitting in the audience is still lingering in their minds.

The story about the blue bird.

Who 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? What did the branches and leaves in the blue bird's mouth represent? Why did that failure make her so sad?
