Chapter 30: Peach Blossom Spring!
This small hole is not high, and it was originally possible for the two of us to walk side by side at the beginning, but after walking for dozens of meters, it became narrower and narrower, but there was always a glimmer of light ahead, and in this way, I walked from side by side to front and back, and in this way, I walked for nearly fifteen minutes, plus the previous walking time, and the legs of the two of us who became civilians were sore.
At this time, the light was getting bigger and bigger, I walked out first, and I couldn't open my eyes because of the dazzling light, and after Su Qiaoran followed me out, I was in the same state as me, and I couldn't open my eyes by being stabbed.
After a brief moment of dizziness, we gradually opened our eyes, but the moment we opened them, we were stunned, and we were standing in front of a cliff, with the small hole we had come out of.
There is indeed no "house and good field and beautiful pond" here, and there is no "strange traffic", let alone those "chickens and dogs smell each other". Most of the place is desert, although there are trees and lawns, but the lawns are yellow dead grass, the trees are dry dead wood, and there are faint pieces of white bones in the yellow sand.
"This ..... What the hell is going on?" Su Qiaoran asked in surprise as she covered her mouth.
"What, is this the Peach Blossom Mound?" I said worriedly.
"What is that?" Su Qiaoran asked me in fear, "It doesn't sound like a good thing!"
"It's too late to explain, turn around and run!" I said, pulling Su Qiaoran to turn around and run towards the cave.
However, just one step later, when we were about to enter the hole, we slammed into the wall, got up and groped carefully, and felt like a wall of air had been built into the hole.
Su Qiaoran and I stood up and patted the dust off our bodies.
"It seems that I can't run away. I sighed, shook my head and said helplessly.
"What the hell is going on?" asked Su Qiaoran.
"The legendary Peach Blossom Fountain has two forms, some people record the lush inheritance place, and some people record the barren place of death, which is called the Peach Blossom Fountain Mound. So to this day, no one has proven which one is the real Peach Blossom Spring, or both of them!" I said.
I've been to Peach Blossom Land in my previous life, and it stands to reason that this shouldn't be the case, so I'm sure we're in for the worst.
At this time, I touched Su Qiaoran's ring and summoned Ah Fu.
"What are you two going to do?" Ah Fu flew in the air, not opening his eyes yet, "Do you know that Lao Tzu is sleeping!"
When Ah Fu opened his eyes, he was stunned by what he saw.
"You two, how did you get to such a place! Come home!" Ah Fu said anxiously, "It looks so horrible here!"
"Ah Fu, do you know what's going on here?" I asked anxiously.
"If you want to say that this is the land of the dead, I will actually believe it, and I even think this is a wild place where death row prisoners are kept!" Ah Fu shook his head and said.
"This is the Peach Blossom Spring, at least we think it is!" Su Qiaoran said.
"Peach Blossom Spring?" Ah Fu thought for a moment and said, "Shouldn't the Peach Blossom Garden be a place of inheritance covered with greenery?"
"It has been recorded in ancient books that the Peach Blossom Land may also be a barren place of death! It is because the previous arrivals died here, but as long as this barren death place established by heaven and earth for the previous arrivals is solved, in other words, it is to complete the challenges faced by the previous arrivals. You can summon the Peach Blossom Fountain and get the inheritance you deserve. I said, "Now we're going to have to crack it." ”
"But we're going back in the morning!" Su Qiaoran looked at me and said.
"It's okay, the Peach Blossom Land is another world, so time will run out more slowly, that is to say, we still have nearly five hours to spare, in the world of the Peach Blossom Spring, it is almost ten days!
"But do you really have a way to get out? This is a world made of heaven and earth!" Ah Fu said disdainfully as he flew in the air.
"Trust me, I know it!" I said, "first we need to find the place where this former arriver died!
With that, we ate the antidote to the sealing ability, spread our wings, and flew off the cliff to the top of the desert.
"It's a barren place, and the place is not big, I can't see anything like anything abnormal!" Su Qiaoran stepped on the sand under his feet and asked me.
"Don't move, this is the Peach Blossom Mound, not the Peach Blossom Spring, anywhere could be a place full of danger!"
The sand beneath my feet became denser and denser, and little by little it slid up.
"It's not good, fly quickly!" After speaking, I directly spread my wings, and flew directly into the sky with Su Qiaoran, who had not yet reacted, about ten meters from the ground.
"What's wrong, why did you suddenly fly!" Su Qiaoran, who was still in my arms, looked at me in surprise and asked.
"See for yourself. I pointed to the ground, "By the way, spread out the wings yourself!"
Su Qiaoran spread his wings, and Ah Fu also flew to our side.
"This is?" Ah Fu and Su Qiaoran both looked at the ground, both showing frightened expressions.
Because the sandy land that was calm just now has become a large whirlpool that has sunk into the ground, making the sand and dust fly all over the sky, and we can't open our eyes.
Ah Fu directly changed into a ring and went to Su Qiaoran's hand.
I covered my eyes and said, "Quick.... Hurry up.... Ability Sink... Convergence to the eyes!"
Saying that, after Su Qiaoran and I both did this, we were not afraid of sand and dust, we just needed to suppress our breathing and not inhale sand and dust.
"What the hell is going on?" Su Qiaoran asked me in a voice.
"This is supposed to be the quicksand you woke up here when you just stomped your foot, it's nothing, it will be quiet in a moment!" I said.
"Then are we going to fly in the sky for a long time!" Su Qiaoran asked me a little anxiously.
"No, as you just said, there's nothing to see here!, so we can't find a way out of the desolation, so I speculate that it's in ...... That!" I pointed directly at the sand vortex.
"What?" Su Qiaoran said frightened and surprised.
"That's right, I guess that the clue to this barren land is underground!" I said my reasoning, "because this peach blossom paradise is only such a large place, you can see the edge at a glance, then the most likely place is - underground! In fact, from the beginning I began to look for an entrance to the underground, but as far as the eye can see, there is no suspicious place, but this quicksand gave me inspiration, because the essence of quicksand is a desert with an unstable foundation, so I am sure that there should be an entrance." ”
"But this is just your inference, quicksand is very dangerous, we may be taking risks by doing this!" Su Qiaoran could see that he was anxious, but most of the time he was still concerned about the safety of the two of us.
"It's not just a corollary, if you think about it carefully, this is a place where only mortals can enter, and the essence of the Peach Blossom Garden is inheritance, that is to say, mortals can't fly to the sky like you and me, and they will be sucked straight down by the quicksand vortex. If I'm not mistaken, this is a test for mortals, and if you live, then you will be inherited!" I reasoned.
"Okay, we can't get out at the moment, and there's no way to do it!" Su Qiaoran accepted my idea.
"Okay, listen to me, and I'll make sure the two of us don't get hurt. I put my hands on Su Qiaoran's shoulders and said, "You already know how to use the wings, so apply the same principle, let the ability wrap your whole body, and then float with the movement of the quicksand, but in order to ensure that the two of us fall together, please let me carry you on my back, and you have to hold me tight, I will also use my shield to protect you!"
"I believe in you!" Su Qiaoran stared into my eyes and said, "Let's go!"
With that, the two of us unfurled our shields and rushed straight to the center of the vortex.
