Chapter 557: Peach Blossom Land (I)
In the afternoon, the mist cleared in the mountains, and the sunlight filtered through the gaps in the branches and leaves of the trees, and fell on a clearing in the forest. A squirrel scurried across the trunk of a tree, jumping from one end to the other, its mouth bulging, and it was unknown how much food was hidden in it.
Suddenly, it stood up and looked around cautiously. In the glade of the forest, the light flashed, and a person, from nothing, appeared.
Alerted to the uninvited guest's words, the squirrel quickly ran down the trunk of the tree, through the nearest bush, and ran to another tree to hide. The whole forest became silent for a moment, and the chirping of birds fell silent.
Yun Thunder stepped on a branch from under his feet, and the branch broke through it with a slight cracking sound. He looked around, compared it with what he remembered, and walked directly to the position of the sun above his head.
Teleporting here from distant Luoyang, Yun Ting spent a lot of effort, and his current state is also extremely poor. The Heavenly Escape Technique can allow people to cross the barrier of space and distance at will, but it is not without a price, Yun Ting has not yet reached the point of ignoring the price, so now, if there is a battle, his original strength will not be able to exert four or five out of ten.
The mountains and forests here are quiet, compared to when there are no people, compared to the original appearance of the mountains and forests. In the sky there were birds flapping their wings, flying in all directions, chirping, and watching the clouds walking in the forest. Unknown wildflowers bloom all around, and bees and butterflies are perched among the flowers, fluttering nearby.
In other places, the temperature of winter has not yet passed, but here, spring has already arrived. Especially when the warm sun of this spring day shines down on the warm sun, there is no cold air left in the mountains and forests.
Broken pieces of light are scattered on the road where the clouds walk, and the breeze caresses from time to time, and the points of light will shake, and the shadows of the trees will sway. The rustling sound of falling in the ears and the sound of feet stepping on the dead leaves on the ground are mixed together, and it also becomes a very rhythmic and pleasant music.
This is the wilderness in the game, in the mountains, these scenery are rarely seen by the imperial people who lived in the Tianyuan era. It seems that only in the extremely distant memory, and in the documentary, this scenery from the home planet, shows traces of what once existed.
The empire is a high-speed machine, and in the process of human development, it must also actively and passively abandon many things. The so-called harmony between man and nature is just a joke, and it is not known how many things will be destroyed in the process of human evolution. Things that have existed for tens of millions of years, a natural cycle, and it only takes a short one or two hundred years for humans to destroy it.
Harmonious? Human existence is inherently a kind of disharmony. Even if you really want to find a way to balance with nature, when you can do it, there are already many things that cannot be copied and cannot be reappeared.
The destruction of the home planet was because of humanity, which has not yet recovered. There is a bigger reason for this, that is, because of the war, the war, the empire and the federation fought fiercely, and in the end, the empire won, and had to move out of the home planet. As for the planets in the universe, there are countless planets, but there are not many planets like the mother planet in them. found it, but it couldn't give them emotional sustenance like the mother planet.
There, is the origin of human beings, the roots of human beings. There is a saying in the empire that the fallen leaves return to the roots, but there are many fallen leaves, scattered all over the world, and even if they fall under another big tree, it is not the same tree that it originally grew.
The reason why the game of the Three Kingdoms has been able to make many imperial people pour in is that it shows that it is a complete existing home planet in the Common Era. Even if it is not a complete home planet in front of them now, it would be good for the Imperials to be able to step on the land where their ancestors once lived.
There are many such mountains and rivers, and walking in such mountains and forests, Yunting will not feel tired. Of course, he didn't come here to enjoy the scenery, but this kind of scenery, it is also very worthwhile to slow down.
As he walked, Yun Ting found the path where the wild beasts in the mountains and forests walked, and followed the footprints to find a stream. But he did not go down, but went upstream, and the place he wanted to go was outside the world, in a place where people rarely traveled.
In another place, Yun Ting would never use the Heavenly Escape Technique to directly teleport himself over so rashly, but here, there would be no problem. This is a place outside the world, and the so-called outside the world is a place that is not in the same stream as the world, and is completely different from the world.
There are also wild beasts in the mountains, but wild beasts are often no more poisonous than the human heart. It is based on instinct to survive, while people, many times their cruelty, is based on a momentary emotional repetition.
A bamboo forest appeared in front of him, and Yun Ting did not walk into the emerald green bamboo forest, but just walked around and along the bamboo forest. After crossing a hillside, Huo Ran was cheerful in front of him, and a small path appeared in his eyes, and beside the road, there were peach blossoms blooming brilliantly.
In front of me is a village nestled against a mountain and surrounded by water. In the middle of the village, the buildings are next to each other, and the sound of barking dogs and roosters can be heard from the village. There are also children, running around, playing, laughing, and even the clouds seen from afar, you can feel the joy they exude.
Taoyuan Village. This village is called Taoyuan Village, although there is nothing at the entrance of the village that can indicate the name of this village, Yun Ting can still recognize it. It was precisely because of Taoyuan Village that Yun Ting was able to come here directly with the Heavenly Escape Technique without any worries.
This is a peach blossom paradise, there will be no fighting, those who can find this place and are allowed to come here are often people who are proficient in a certain way. Also, they are all people who don't have a fighting heart, players.
No matter how the war is going on outside, it has no impact on Taoyuan Village. No one will get involved, because here, in addition to some old men and old ladies, there are also little children, otherwise they are idiots who are obsessed with a certain field.
This is a paradise that belongs only to life players, and it is also a paradise in the eyes of many people. Just because the people here, the things here, everything taken out, is enough for one person, one power to be strengthened. It's just that the people who know this place will never leak this place, nor will they involve the people here in those rights and wrongs.
Yun Ting walked slowly down and walked towards the village.
A small river runs around the village, and on the bank of the river, a fisherman sits on a bamboo chair with a fishing rod in his hand. His figure was hidden by the cloak, and his eyes were closed on the old face under the hat, as if he didn't care if he could catch a fish.
It was placed in a bamboo fish basket next to the bamboo chair, but it showed where the old fisherman's attitude of not caring came from, because there were already several fish in it.
Suddenly, the fishing rod in the old fisherman's hand moved down slightly, and the fishing line was pulled, and there was a force that was pulling his arm in the other direction. The old fisherman did not hurry to open his eyes, and let the hooked big fish keep fluttering and trying to escape, his hand was extremely steady, and he held the fishing rod firmly.
His ears moved, and he heard footsteps, footsteps coming slowly from a distance. But he didn't have the slightest intention of turning back to investigate, just intently looking at the ripples that echoed on the surface of the river, round and round, vibrating around, splashing little by little.
The more force you feel from the rod, the tighter the line is and the more you pull it to the limit, you have the feeling that the fish on the hook under the surface of the water may come off at any time. But he still didn't move, just quietly watched the ripples, the ripples of the white water, reflecting the sunlight back, very beautiful, but it also blocked his sight outside.
The light in his eyes flashed, and the light at this moment was completely devoid of a sense of twilight. His arm jerked upward, and the line under the surface of the water came out of the bottom with a hook, and a carp leaped over the surface of the river, chasing the line and falling, and the droplets were shining with dots of crystal.
"If the player catches a carp, the fishing experience is +10, but because the player's fishing skills have reached the grandmaster level, the skill experience cannot be increased."
The sound of the system lifting in his ears came, but the old fisherman did not have half an expression on his face, but took care of himself to untie the carp on the hook and threw it into the fish basket next to him. There was no fluctuation in his mind, but if this prompt sound was heard by other players, it would immediately turn into a wave.
A skill is rated as a Grandmaster by the system, which is something that many players can't do, even if it's just a fishing skill among life skills, it can shock the jaws of countless players! In the game, whether it is combat skills or life skills, to the improvement of each evaluation, the difficulty is exactly the same, and it is not respected by combat skills.
To be able to reach the Grandmaster level, that is already in this skill field, and it can become an existence that others look up to. Master! Not anyone can become, and it is not something that can be done just by hard practice, such as this fishing, the timing of the grasp and the control of the strength are extremely strict. If a person who doesn't know how to fish comes here, the moment the fish is just hooked, the anxious and happy mood appears, and he is destined to not be able to catch the fish.
In reality, there are many people who can fish, but entering the game and changing to this ancient fishing rod has made many people who can fish become unable to fish. Not to mention, the empirical judgment system for fish caught has its own set of judgments. That is, it is completely dependent on Meng, relying on luck, only a little experience, and sometimes even no experience.
Flowing clouds and water is Yun Ting's most appropriate description of the scene he saw, and it is also the sigh in his heart. It's like a swordsman out of a sword, if he doesn't come out of the sword, he will grasp the moment of the fighter when he comes out of the sword, and a sword will be stabbed out, without half a point of hesitation, very decisive. One sword, the winner is divided. The moment the old fisherman caught the fish, he was like a swordsman, his heart was calm when the fish was hooked, and he let the fish struggle, and when he was exhausted, he resolutely fished it.
It is skillful to grasp the timing.
The old fisherman stood up, he could feel the presence of the clouds, but he didn't care at all, he came according to his usual habits. He had already caught five fish, which was enough for him, except for the two fish that were braised for the old woman in the family and used to make soup, and the other three were all given to the guys in the village in order.
The reason why he is not an old man is because in the village, in addition to those old men who are old men like him, there are also some little friends, and they are also common friends. Living here is very ordinary, fishing for some fish every day, chatting, and eating some dishes made by the old woman, it is enough.
Bland, natural. This is the life that makes him feel comfortable after many winds and waves have passed and experienced the precipitation of time. This kind of life is very good, so often they in the village talk and laugh, and they say that this is an aging village.
He didn't want to catch a few more fish, it didn't make half a point, because he wasn't catching fish. Fish, why fish? Obviously, it doesn't take much effort, it doesn't need to take extra time, and you can buy it for a little money, but he just likes fishing. What he likes is the pleasure of fishing, and he comes because of the fun and walks because of the fun, and that's a very simple reason.
One thing, what is supported, in many cases, is not other material things. It's fun, it's the motivation that makes you feel happy and can persevere. Being alive is absolutely different from being happy alive, and now he is fishing for some fish in the game and enjoying the scenery in the game until the day he dies in reality.
He picked up the basket, soaked it in the water, and then lifted it up, and the river poured down through the gap in the basket. Squatted down, the hand holding the rod. The bamboo chair was lifted up again, and the old fisherman turned away.
"What's the matter? Lad? Looking at the young man who had come from a distance and stopped behind him for a long time, the old fisherman knew very well that there was no such person in the village.
Outsiders. There are only people from outside, and he doesn't have much feeling for outsiders, as long as he doesn't come to ruin his peaceful life. He also knows what the situation is like on the outside of the game, but it is a matter on the outside, and the situation here cannot be changed.
"I'm looking for someone." Yun Ting replied, reaching out and taking the bamboo chair from the old fisherman's hand very naturally. He has always maintained respect for these people, and it is definitely not because of the so-called good impression.
"Looking for whom?" The old fisherman asked.
"Blacksmith."
