Chapter 722: The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring

The boat had not gone far before it saw the stream, which had come to an end.

The ship could not continue sailing, so Liu Zheng could only order these brocade guards under his command to disembark and investigate the vicinity first.

He himself, Guo Jia and Dian Wei, got off the boat and began to wander in this peach forest.

The peach forest is very large, as far as the eye can see, there are only peach trees, there are no other trees nearby, except for peach trees, there are some other flowers and plants on the ground, yellow, red, white, all of them.

The petals fall into the verdant grass, embellishing the beautiful color.

This scenery made Liu Zheng's face more and more puzzled, so he led the people and continued to walk forward, wanting to go to the end of the forest to have a look.

Walking along the stream, walking for a few hundred meters, I finally reached the end of this peach forest.

At the end of the peach grove, the source of the stream, is a small lake, and the water flows down from the wall of a mountain, forming a clear spring, with a little dew and a few rainbows lingering.

"Lord, look, there's a cave here!"

When Liu Zheng was still enjoying the beautiful scenery on this lake, Dian Wei had already discovered something in front of him.

Guo Jia and Liu Zheng followed Dian Wei's voice, and immediately looked at the cave.

There is indeed a small hole, Liu Zheng took a closer look, and it seemed that there was still some light in the hole, which was visible.

Originally, Liu Zheng was a little suspicious, but after seeing this hole, his face suddenly changed.

Peach blossoms, streams, cave entrances.

These things came together, and Liu Zheng immediately thought of a very famous text he had learned when he was in school.

"The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring"

This is a work written by Tao Yuanming, a writer of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Liu Zheng remembered that this text was required to be memorized in its entirety at that time, although he didn't remember the whole article very well, but the first sentence of it was clearly remembered.

In the Jin Dynasty, the Wuling people fished for their business.

The meaning of these words is that during the Taiyuan period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a person in Wuling County who made a living from fishing.

During the Taiyuan period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was almost two hundred years later, and the Wuling County recorded in the book was the Wuling County where Liu Zheng is now!

Originally, it was just a Wuling County, and Liu Zheng couldn't remember these things, but when he saw this peach forest, as well as the stream and the mouth of the cave, Liu Zheng vaguely felt that this place might be the peach blossom source that Tao Yuanming said!

"Peach Blossom Spring! It's really a paradise! ”

Liu Zheng stared at the entrance of the cave and said a few words coldly.

Guo Jia, who was standing beside Liu Zheng, frowned slightly after hearing Liu Zheng's words.

"Lord, Peach Blossom Spring? What is it? ”

"Nothing."

Seeing Guo Jia asking, Liu Zheng hurriedly explained.

"When I was in my hometown, I heard a story from the old people in the village."

"What's the story?"

It is said that hundreds of years ago, in the late Qin and early Han dynasties, some people who did not want to be disturbed by the war liked to hide in the mountains, and they would plant some peach trees on the side of the mountains as a cover. In it, he lived a life without fighting. This kind of place is called Peach Blossom Garden. ”

Liu Zheng briefly described to Guo Jia the story of the Peach Blossom Spring that he still remembered in his heart.

Of course, he didn't say whether the story was true or not, but only that he heard it from the old people in the village.

Now that Guo Jia combined the local environment, he immediately knew that what Liu Zheng was talking about was the kind of place now.

"What does the lord mean that this is a peach blossom paradise?"

"Isn't it, let's go into this cave and find out."

After that, Liu Zheng is going to enter through this hole.

However, for the sake of safety, Dian Wei still stopped Liu Zheng.

"Lord, there may be danger in this cave, please wait here, I will send you to enter and investigate first, and later, the lord will go in again."

Liu Zheng heard Dian Wei's words, and also felt agreed, after all, this cave is not big, in case there is any danger in it, but it is easy to avoid, even if there are no enemies, there are some snakes, insects, rats and ants, and the first person to enter is also easy to be injured, let Jinyiwei enter to investigate.

Some crises can always be avoided.

After Liu Zheng nodded, he asked Dian Wei to send two brocade guards into it.

Two brocade guards, armed with knives, walked into the cave.

The entrance to the cave was small at first, probably only able to accommodate one person, but after walking a few dozen steps, it became a little wider.

Liu Zheng also verified this idea one by one according to the articles in the Peach Blossom Spring, which he can still remember.

Walk around the river, forget the distance of the road. Suddenly, the peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps between the shore, there are no miscellaneous trees in it, the fragrant grass is delicious, and the fallen flowers are colorful. The fisherman is very different. Moving forward again, I want to exhaust the forest.

When the forest runs out of water, there will be a mountain, and the mountain has a small mouth, as if there is light. Drop off the boat and enter from the mouth. At the beginning, it is extremely narrow, and only then can it be passed. After dozens of steps, it suddenly became clear.

After walking for a while, the two brocade guards who walked in front easily walked to the other end of the cave by the light in the cave.

What is presented in front of you is a flat and wide land, rows of neat houses, and a piece of fertile fertile land, orchards and bamboo forests intersect with each other, field paths are intricate, and chickens and dogs can be heard everywhere.

Some people dressed in modest clothing work in the fields.

When these scenes entered Liu Zheng's eyes, Zheng Jia determined that this was the Peach Blossom Source written by Tao Yuanming.

"My lord, this ...... This is really as you said, there are a lot of people living here, looking at the costumes of these people, it seems that they are people from the late Qin period hundreds of years ago! ”

Guo Jia was stunned by what Liu Zheng said just now, originally he only listened to it as a story, but now he verified the story Liu Zheng said from this cave, and suddenly Guo Jia had no doubt about what Liu Zheng said.

"I was also surprised, I didn't expect that the stories told by the old man at the entrance of the village were actually true, and I heard that it was not only me, but also others, who had gone to find the so-called Peach Blossom Spring, but they didn't really find the location of the Peach Blossom Spring."

"I didn't expect that we would make such a mistake, but we unexpectedly found the real Peach Blossom Spring!"

Liu Zheng was also amazed at his luck, he didn't expect that this place still hides the Peach Blossom Source that only appeared hundreds of years later.

Liu Zheng didn't say much, and immediately took Guo Jia and Dian Wei and a few brocade guards into this peach blossom garden.

As for more Jinyi guards, Liu Zheng didn't dare to let them in, because if too many people appeared at once, Liu Zheng was also afraid of disturbing the lives of the people in this peach blossom garden.

Now he only brought a few people in, and he was able to learn about some things in this peach blossom paradise by asking, at least it would not cause too much vigilance in this paradise.
