Chapter 21 Tell Han Qi about Liaozhai

"Really?" Li Zhang heard that Han Qi actually knew about some divine birds, which made him cry out overjoyed.

"Of course, although I am young, my second brother will tell me anything. And I also have a few friends. Most of their fathers are officials in the court and know something that others don't know." Han Qi said proudly. When we met last time, he had always asked Li Zhang for trouble. Now he can finally win a game. After all, he has been called a child prodigy since he was a child and has a strong sense of self-esteem.

Li Zhang was also ecstatic when he heard this. During this period, he almost inquired about the divine bird when he saw people, but either the other party just heard about it, or like Lu Wu and Han County Wei, he was unwilling to say it when he knew it. The number of people Li Zhang could contact was limited, so he could only do nothing, but he didn't expect Han Qi to bring him such a surprise.

"Han Qi, please tell me about the divine bird. Also, is it true that an accident happened when His Majesty went to see the divine bird?" Li Zhang immediately asked Han Qi after being ecstatic.

"I have a friend's brother who works in the imperial guards. When the divine bird landed on the earthen mountain by the Bian River that day, his brother was transferred to block the earthen mountain. According to his brother, after the divine bird landed on the earthen mountain, no one was allowed to approach it. They could only take a few glances from a distance. However, the divine bird is really big. According to him, it must be at least twenty or thirty feet, and it is silver-white all over. There can be hundreds of people standing on two wings alone..."

Han Qi immediately told all the information he knew about the divine bird, and Li Zhang also listened very seriously, but the more he heard the divine bird, the more he felt that the divine bird was the plane he was on. He was on a large plane on an international flight, which was more than 70 meters long, and it was indeed twenty or thirty feet long.

Speaking of which, Li Zhang was unlucky. After several years in Africa, he finally found an opportunity to be transferred back to China, but was accidentally involved in the struggle within the company. As a result, he was worn by bosses from different factions and was sent to Africa for business again. Unexpectedly, he encountered an accident on a business plane.

"Apart from the silvery white body, are there any other patterns on the divine bird?" After hearing Han Qi's words, Li Zhang thought for a moment before speaking again. He remembered that he was on an Emirates airplane. Generally, airlines would paint their names or logos on the plane, so he had this question.

"Yes, the divine bird has some patterns on its body, and its tail is also colorful, which is very beautiful." Han Qi immediately spoke again.

"Did your friend's brother say what those patterns look like?" Li Zhang asked excitedly when he heard this.

"This... his brother didn't say it." Han Qi said helplessly. He also heard the friend's retelling, and he could only know some general information, and some detailed areas must not be clear.

Li Zhang couldn't help but show a disappointed expression when he heard this, but Han Qi said again: "Li Zhang, don't you want to know what accident happened when His Majesty went to see the sacred bird? I know this very clearly. My second brother told me before."

"Really? Tell me!" Li Zhang said in surprise again. He was also very interested in Zhao Huan's affairs, because as far as he knew, Zhao Huan seemed to not live long.

"Actually, many people know about this, but everyone only discusses it privately. Few people dare to talk about it publicly because the incident has too much impact and someone may be caught by accident..."

Now Han Qi told Zhao Huan about the story of seeing the divine bird. Originally, Zhao Huan had been seriously ill in recent years and could no longer run around like in the past years. The auspiciousness offered from all over the place gradually decreased. However, the divine bird suddenly appeared above Tokyo City. The sensation caused by this incident was too great. Even Zhao Huan in the palace saw the divine bird walking in the sky with his own eyes, so he immediately ordered the imperial guards to follow the divine bird.

As soon as the divine bird landed, Zhao Huan immediately took a car out of the palace and came to the earthy mountain where the divine bird landed. At that time, some ministers in the court were also present, such as Prime Minister Li Di, Ding Wei, Privy Councilor Cao Yong and others were all present. It is said that Li Di and others were desperately opposed to Zhao Huan visiting the divine bird, and they also said that this thing was a monster, but Ding Wei encouraged Zhao Huan to come. The two prime ministers fought with this matter and finally ended with Ding Wei's victory.

However, when Zhao Huan was watching the divine bird up close, he encountered an accident, that was, the sudden "boom" of the divine bird, and a large amount of black smoke came out. As a result, Zhao Huan fell to the ground in fear and fell into a coma on the spot. The civil and military officials were also scared to death and hurriedly carried Zhao Huan back to the palace to rescue him.

"It is said that although Your Majesty has been rescued, his health is getting worse and worse. Some people even rumored that Your Majesty may not survive this year, so the court is now turbulent. Fortunately, Your Majesty has only one son, otherwise he would not know what kind of storm will cause?" Han Qi finally said that he is worthy of being a capable minister of the three dynasties in later generations. Even though he is very young, he still analyzes the situation in the court very clearly.

After hearing this, Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh that Zhao Huan was really ill. He was sick at first and insisted on going to see the divine bird. However, the loud noise and black smoke that scared Zhao Huan were sick. Li Zhang always felt that there was an explosion somewhere on the plane. If the divine bird was really an airplane, it was very likely that the plane would suffer considerable damage when landing.

"Li Zhang, where did this divine bird come from? Why did it suddenly appear in our Bianliang City?" Han Qi saw Li Zhang silent, and couldn't help but ask. There were many different opinions on the origin of the divine bird, but there was no reasonable explanation.

"How could I know about this? Unless I can see this sacred bird with my own eyes, I really can't guess its origin." Li Zhang shook his head and said at this time.

"Don't think about this. Your Majesty was frightened by the divine bird and was unconscious. Li Xiang took this opportunity to attack Ding Xiang, and even wanted someone to burn the divine bird..."

"Can't burn!" Li Zhang was also shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but scream.

"Haha, we don't have the final say in this matter!" Seeing Li Zhang's anxious look, Han Qi smiled calmly and said, "At that time, Ding Xiang was also at a disadvantage. After all, he was the one who encouraged His Majesty to see the divine bird, which made an accident happen. In addition, many ministers also supported Li Xiang, so the ministers in the court quickly reached an agreement and decided to burn the divine bird."

"It's really burning?" Li Zhang couldn't help but show a heartbroken expression when he heard this. He also thought that if the divine bird was an airplane, he might be able to find something useful.

"It was originally going to burn, but I didn't expect that His Majesty suddenly woke up for a moment, and ordered the divine bird to be protected and no one was allowed to contact. Then he fell into a coma. It was because of His Majesty's order that the divine bird was temporarily preserved." Han Qi smiled again.

Just now, Han Qi saw that Li Zhang was so anxious, so he deliberately kept him in a silence. However, he was also a little surprised at this time. He couldn't understand why Li Zhang was so concerned about the divine bird, especially Li Zhang screamed out just now. This was the first time he had seen him lose his composure since he knew Li Zhang?

Li Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and at the same time he felt a little more fond of Emperor Zhao Huan. No matter what the other party's historical evaluation was, at least he saved the divine bird because of his words.

"Li Zhang, why are you so concerned about the divine bird?" Han Qi finally couldn't help but feel curious and asked immediately.

"This..." Li Zhang didn't know how to explain it at this time. He could not tell the truth. It would be a bit sorry for Han Qi to make up a lie. After all, he told him so much useful news, so Li Zhang decided to make up a lie seriously, at least he wouldn't let Han Qi hear it was fake at once.

"Well, actually, I have always been interested in these strange things about gods and gods, and I even have an idea, but don't laugh at me." Li Zhang coughed dryly and then said with a serious expression.

"What's your thought?" Han Qi asked again with interest.

"This..." Li Zhang hesitated deliberately for a moment, and then he spoke again, "When others talk about it, they may think that I am overestimating my abilities, but I want to collect more strange things about gods and gods, and then compile them into a book. Maybe someone will like it."

"Writing...writing books?" Han Qi was shocked when he heard Li Zhang's words, and his face was full of disbelief. Because in this era, writing books is definitely not something that ordinary people can do, and at least they must be knowledgeable and magnanimous. However, Li Zhang only knew a few words, and maybe he could not even memorize the "Analects of Confucius". How could such a person write books?

"I am not a scholar, and I never thought of relying on books to make a name for myself. I just wanted to record some stories about people, ghosts, demons, gods, etc., and I have collected many interesting stories. Do you want to listen to them?" Li Zhang also knew what Han Qi was thinking at this time, and explained with a smile.

"Really? Then tell me quickly!" Han Qi was still a little suspicious of Li Zhang, and on the other hand, he was also interested in the stories of human, ghost, demon, and gods that Li Zhang said. After all, it is one of human instincts to like to hunt curiosity.

"Okay!" Li Zhang agreed immediately, then thought for a moment and said again, "We are a charity village, so I will tell a story related to corpses. The name of this story is "Corpse Transformation"..."

Now Li Zhang told the story of "The Transformation of the Corpse". This story comes from "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" in later generations. The content is very ordinary. It is nothing more than a few merchants staying in a hotel. The owner's daughter-in-law died. Then she turned into a zombie that night and killed several merchants. Only one merchant escaped.
