Peach Paradise Chapter 19 Peach Blossom Paradise Fishing Village
Xie Baoshu hugged Xiaoba, and his heart was very entangled.
At ten o'clock this morning, he searched everywhere in the village, but he couldn't find Hachi. I didn't expect this guy to run out by himself, and he could still find the exit of the Taoyuan Wonderland. He touched Xiaoba's hairy head and smiled, "You're really amazing." ”
Hachi shook his head and went back to sleep.
At this time, Xie Baoshu was carrying the Qingyun Chaotian Sword behind his back, wearing a white robe cut for him by Aunt Jiang, and carrying a package on his chest, which contained all his belongings. It looks like a plainly dressed teenager, and the sun is shining.
The orange cat in his arms looks even more harmless to humans and animals, but the jasper wrench inadvertently exposed on his right hand makes him look not so simple. He hugged Hachi and began to walk forward along the grass. Outside the Taoyuan Immortal Circle, there is a meadow, and beyond the meadow, is a big river.
Standing by the river, Xie Baoshu listened to the sound of running water in his ears and felt the warm breeze, and his mood was very comfortable. He could neither fly nor have a boat, so he could only walk along the riverbank. After walking for about half an hour, I finally saw people.
It was almost noon, the sun was high and the April sun was shining warmly. The further you go, the wider the river becomes, and gradually there is a tendency to be a river. And the people who appeared were all fishermen who were fishing and drying nets.
After walking for another stick of incense, a village finally appeared in front of me.
Xie Baoshu walked in and found fishing nets hanging at the door of every house, as if the village made a living from fishing. People in the village came and went, it was very lively, and they were a little surprised to see Xie Baoshu. It's a remote place, and it's rarely visited by outsiders.
There are bold young men who came up to greet Xie Baoshu and introduced that this place belongs to Wuling County and is called Dayu Village. As the name suggests, the village has been fishing for generations. When they heard that Xie Baoshu came out of the Peach Blossom Spring, they were all very surprised.
Because it is said that a hundred years ago, there was a fisherman in their village who went to the Peach Blossom Spring.
They all took Xie Baoshu to the house as a guest, saying that they wanted to hear about the things in the Peach Blossom Garden. Xie Baoshu refused, he still had to hurry to the next place. Unexpectedly, the people of Tayu Village told him that although Tayu Village belongs to Wuling County, this village is very remote, at the very edge of Wuling County.
If you are in a hurry now, I am afraid that you will not find a place to rest until it gets dark. It's best to travel early tomorrow morning, so it's safer. Xie Baoshu thought about it and agreed. small
When Ba saw the small dried fish drying on the side of the house, he had already been itching in his heart, so he left Xie Baoshu's arms and went to look for the dried fish. Xie Baoshu doesn't care about it, Xiao Yaye is used to it, but he can't restrain it.
A young man who was slightly older than Xie Baoshu had a strange face, and when he heard that Xie Baoshu had promised to rest in the village, he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Xie Baoshu towards his house. The people on the side were not as fast as him, but they just laughed and scolded lightly, and they didn't get too entangled.
The young man was wearing short sleeves and looked very energetic, and he introduced himself: "My surname is Li, my name is thick, dare to ask the name of the immortal master?"
Xie Baoshu waved his hand and said: "My name is Xie Baoshu, you can call me by name, where do you dare to call me an immortal master?"
Li Zehou walked in front, looked back at Xie Baoshu, and said, "I know, the one who came out of that peach blossom source is definitely not an ordinary person." When I was a child, I went to Wuling County once, and I saw a sword on the back of an immortal in the county, which is very similar to the sword behind your back. ”
Xie Baoshu smiled bitterly and said, "I've just cultivated, and I'm really not an immortal master. ”
When Li Zehou heard the words just practiced, a trace of loss flashed in his eyes, but he didn't show it, but continued to take Xie Baoshu back to his house. This room looks different from the next one, the fishing nets are very neat and clean, and the same is true in the house. An old man sat in the doorway, smoking a dry cigarette, and the cigarette stick clattered against the stone.
Li Zehou shouted with a smile: "Dad, there are guests at home today." ”
The old man got up with a smile and said, "Where did you come from, you look so handsome, go and let your mother cook a few more dishes." ”
Xie Baoshu greeted the old man very politely, and then he knew that the old man was the village chief of Tayu Village, and Li Zehou was his son. There was also an old woman in the house, who was cooking, and Li Zehou took Xie Baoshu back to his house.
The house was very clean, with some red flowers and some conch-like things. Xie Baoshu entered the house and began to look at the red flowers. This flower is red and charming, Xie Baoshu has never seen it, and it looks very uncomfortable.
As soon as he entered the room, Li Zehou suddenly knelt down and said, "Please help me with the immortal master!"
Xie Baoshu's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Li Zehou who was kneeling on the ground, as if he saw his own figure. I have done this myself, asking others. He bowed in his heart, but he didn't make a sound, but gently helped Li Zehou up and asked, "What do you do?"
Li Zehou walked to the side of the table, picked up a blood-red flower, and said, "This flower is called Blood Orchid, and it smells very strange. The big river outside our fishing village has a turbulent current, and it is not easy to catch fish. But our village has no other way to make a living than fishing. And this blood orchid can calm down the earth-shattering waves. Every time the village goes out to fish, a pot of blood orchids is placed on the boat and tied with a rope. This will ensure that the departure will be smooth sailing. ”
Xie Baoshu nodded and asked, "With such a good effect, there must be something bad, right?"
Li Zehou smiled bitterly: "This blood orchid is only found on a mountain in the east of the village, and there is a small waterhole in the middle of the mountainside, and the waterhole is surrounded by this blood orchid. ”
Xie Baoshu frowned and said, "Could it be that this blood orchid is not easy to collect, you want me to help collect the blood orchid?"
Li Zehou shook his head, and then said: "In that little Tan, there is a thing that calls himself the god of the mountain, and it is he who tells us that this blood orchid can bless the safety of entering and exiting. And the premise is that our village pays him a tribute every year with a young boy or girl, and just throw it in the waterhole. ”
Xie Baoshu exclaimed, "What did you say?"
Li Zehou said as he spoke, tears were about to fall, and he said: "Where is this mountain god, it is clearly a demon and a monster! But if you don't do this, there will be no fish in the village, how can you live? I know that my predecessor is an immortal in the sky, and I implore my predecessor to use the fairy sword behind him to kill that monster and eliminate harm for the people!"
Xie Baoshu was silent for a moment and said, "This kind of monster naturally has to be eliminated quickly. But to tell you the truth, I'm really not an immortal, I'm just a monk who has just embarked on the path of cultivation. has the intention to kill demons, but has no power to return to the sky. I'll try as much as I can, and if it doesn't work, don't blame me. ”
Li Zehou knelt down again, kowtowed, and said, "Tomorrow is the time to sacrifice, and this time it is my sister who will sacrifice." The great grace of the seniors, no teeth are unforgettable!"
Xie Baoshu asked: "In your village, can anyone in your village see that monster and know what he looks like? ”
Li Zehou stood up and nodded: "Every year when the sacrifice is made, several people in the village will go together, and I have been there once. Put those children into the pool water, and before they could sink, a huge blood orchid appeared, wrapping the children. The blood orchid was very huge, and it seemed to spread all over the waterhole, and the waterhole, I don't know how deep. ”
Xie Baoshu suddenly asked, "You said that tomorrow is the time to sacrifice, so where is your sister now?"
Li Zehou smiled bitterly: "Half a month ago, my sister was detained by the villagers and put in a room, where she was strictly guarded. This is the rule in the village, and this is the case every year for the sacrifices. Xie Baoshu was silent, knowing that this was a technique in the village. If this is not the case, then there will definitely be sacrifices who are afraid and secretly run away by themselves, or their parents will run away with them. If it sounds good, it is the rules, and if it is ugly, it is afraid that people will run away.
Even the village chief's daughter is no exception.
Xie Baoshu asked again: "Why don't you move out of this village? ”
Li Zehou smiled bitterly again: "Where can we go? We have lived here in fishing village for generations, and the county lords of Wuling County have taken care of us. We went somewhere else, it was a long way, and we didn't have any skills other than fishing. Do you want to be a slave somewhere else?"
Xie Baoshu stretched out his hand and touched the sword behind his back.
He wanted to help, but he didn't know if he could help or die.
Either way, he wanted to give it a try.
At this time, the old village chief at the door pushed open the door and called the two to eat.
At the table, the dishes were not bad, but Xie Baoshu was not in the mood to eat, so he simply took two bites and found an excuse to go out for a walk. In the village, everyone was very busy, and when they saw Xie Baoshu, an outsider, they were surprised from the beginning, but now they just looked up and said hello.
Xie Baoshu walked to the east of the fishing village and looked at the mountain not far away, the red light was all over the sky, and it looked very ominous. He was very irritable, and began to take out the booklet given by Mo Zhisu and began to read it.
This booklet is not thick, but there are many things recorded in it, all of which are some basic things.
For example, the three realms of ghosts and immortals, changing bones, concentrating on spirits, and controlling qi. There are also some basic rules, such as being extremely careful when going out, and the most important thing is to hide your strength. Only when others think you are mysterious will they be jealous. Xie Baoshu felt that this passage was very well written.
There are thousands of avenues, and the first one to save your life. The practice is not standardized, and the relatives are in tears.
Xie Baoshu searched and searched, trying to find records about blood orchids, but he didn't find them. On the contrary, I found something with a meaning, the big river outside the Taoyuan Xian Coast, called the Canglan River, is the largest river in Wuling County.
As long as it is a river, there is a god of river blasphemy. This Canglan River is a big river in Wuling County, and the god of river blasphemy must be very powerful. Because the Canglan River is a famous river recorded in the land of the Tang Dynasty, the god of the river is sealed by the Tang Dynasty, and the luck of the river is added, and the practice is twice the result with half the effort.
If you can invite the god of Jiang Du, will you be afraid of such a blood orchid?
