Chapter Fifty-Six is quite interesting

  Lin Bei blinked his eyes, the Luan bird? Isn't that the Phoenix? Who doesn't know that? But is there really a phoenix in this era? Lin Bei was very skeptical.

  Red, five colors, chicken shape, sound in the middle of five tones, this is generally referring to the shape and sound of the phoenix, the meaning represented by the phoenix I think everyone also knows, it's a cultural symbol, dragon and phoenix, these are the most noble two people's aliases in ancient times, one is the emperor, one refers to the empress, dragon and phoenix present, then the world is at peace.

  But is there really a dragon and phoenix in this era? Lin Bei expressed his disbelief, myths are just myths, if the emperor was truly a dragon son of heaven, he wouldn't have only lived for several decades. Therefore, Lin Bei found Zhen Ba's transaction to be quite strange.

  "It seems that the adults are aware of it." Zhen Ba said, Lin Bei nodded.

  "Can the gentleman find a peacock feather? My family's shopkeeper is willing to give it to the gentleman for a thousand gold." Zhen Ba gave Lin Bei an exceptionally generous reward, and Zhen Rong was really bleeding out for this matter. Anyway, the money wasn't his, so he was happy to be generous with someone else's wealth.

  Lin Bei fell silent for a moment, don't misunderstand, he wasn't moved by the thousand gold coins, but rather wanted to know another question. Zhen Ba seemed to understand Lin Bei's meaning and said: "Sir, Zhen Ba can read, sir can write it down."

  Oh, that's good, we can communicate now. No wonder they wanted to move. Lin Bei wrote: "Have you seen the phoenix birds? Right here in Mount Fu?" That was what Lin Bei cared about.

  "It is indeed so; otherwise I would not dare trouble Your Excellency."

  "So, what shape is it?" Lin Bei was still very skeptical. If even the phoenix had one, then what was this little snake doing here? That was a divine beast! Lin Bei didn't even have 'demon law', and if he encountered such a divine beast, he would be reduced to ashes in an instant.

  "It is as big as a chicken, red in color, its gaze is like fire, its cry echoes unceasingly around the beams, it soars three thousand feet high, rising in the east and setting in the west..."

  Lin Beitou really grew big like a Dou, "Wait, does 'Shuang Sanqian Zhang' mean being able to fly three thousand zhang high? In the morning on the east side and in the evening flying to the west side? The numbers are so precise?"

  This is actually Lin Bei being nitpicky. The ancients said "three thousand zhang" to refer to flying very high and far, not necessarily exactly three thousand zhang high. For example, Li Bai's "White hair three thousand zhang, worrying about it like a long rope", doesn't mean his hair really grew three thousand zhang long.

  Zhen Ba was stunned, actually he had never seen any phoenix birds before, all he knew was from Zhen Ding's words, and who did Zhen Ding hear it from? Of course, it was those gossipmongers in the market, the phoenix bird represents the empress, Zhen Miao's fate is noble beyond words. What does noble beyond words mean? If a man is noble beyond words, he must be an emperor, while if a woman is, she must be an empress, that's why Zhen Ding wanted to send a phoenix bird. Zhen Ding had never seen a phoenix bird either, but since there are monsters, Zhen Ding naturally thought there were phoenix birds too, this was a beautiful misunderstanding.

  "Uh... " Zhen Ba didn't know what to say anymore.

  Lin Beiyu glanced at them, "How about this? Husband Fu has told you a sentence before, if you want something I don't know, then you can go and get it yourself. I can help drive away the wild beasts on the side."

  "Isn't it true that adults know about the phoenix?" Zhen Ba said with a bitter face.

  Lin Beiguan said with a sly smile: "I only know about the phoenix, I don't know about the luan bird. Go back and tell your boss that if he knows where it is, he can send someone to capture it in the mountains. I'll go along too, so I can see for myself what this 'luan bird' is all about."

  Lin Bei couldn't help but play dumb, the Luan bird this thing that only exists in legend made him go catch it, this is going to be his death ah, later if another Qiong Qi, Tao Tie, or Ba Zhi comes, will Lin Bei still be alive? Or again someone asks Lin Bei to teach them demonic arts, got it, the joke has gone too far.

  And Lin Bei is now a snake, when it's time to talk reason, he can naturally talk reason, and when he doesn't want to talk reason, then he can just not talk.

  Zhen Ba fell silent for a moment, "I will pass on your words to the shopkeeper, that little man has another request for you."

  "Is it also a transaction?"

  "Yes."

  "As long as it's a transaction, then it can be said."

  "Sir, have you seen a big white insect?" This time Zhen Ba learned his lesson.

  "Do you want a white tiger, sir? A pelt or a cub?"

  "If there is a small tiger, that would be best; if not, then the fur of a large insect will do." Zhen Ba carefully chose his words.

  "Is there a mountain?"

  "There was a case years ago when an old hunter encountered three large worms while hunting, one big and two small. Miss Cui should also be aware of this matter."

  "Alright." Lin Bei nodded and said: "However, if the number of White Tigers is less than twenty, then the deal is off."

  "What? Sir, what do you mean?" Zhen Ba didn't understand.

  "This is ecological conservation. If the number of white tigers decreases, then once they are caught, there will be no next generation, so a program must be in place to ensure that white tigers can continue to breed and not become extinct."

  Zhen Baohan was stunned, he understood each of these words individually, but when put together, he didn't understand. However, it seemed that the dragon lord in front of him didn't seem too willing to catch the big bug, and it looked like the boss's request would probably not be fulfilled.

  "Anything else? If not, you can leave now. By the way, tell your boss that since what you want is valuable, a deposit must be paid first. With the deposit, I can start working on it. If it doesn't work out in the end, half of the deposit will be refunded. I won't take the Phoenix and Bird case, but I'll take the White Tiger one. Let's start with a deposit of 100 gold coins, if it falls through, I'll refund half to you."

  Zhen Ba scratched his head, this demon dragon's words were truly unbelievable, and he still wanted a deposit? Moreover, even if it couldn't be done, they would still have to take half the money, this kind of business method was unheard of.

  After Zhen Ba retreated, he didn't enter the crowd. Several people around him asked questions, while a few others walked over to discuss business with Lin Bei.

  Snakes and humans doing business together still seems like a pretty good idea.
