Last time, Shen Yifan, Liu Quan and others found an uninhabited village after crossing the waterway, and saw a stone tablet on the square of the village, which recorded the origin and disappearance of this village.

The book continues above.

The inscription mentions the origin of this village is that there was an immortal in the Qin Dynasty who brought a village of people, and after outsiders appeared in this village, the patriarch thought that it was not safe here and left, and the strange thing is that the means of transportation they came to this village was a round boat, and the means of transportation to leave was also a round boat. Shen Yifan guessed that Taohuayuan Village was an experimental base for thinking civilized people to experiment with the elixir of life.

Shen Yifan combined Tao Yuanming's "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", in order to let everyone know more intuitively why Shen Yifan combined Tao Yuanming's "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", so I will match Tao Yuanming's "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" in this chapter:

In the Jin Dynasty, the Wuling people fished for their business. 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, the fallen flowers are colorful, and the fishermen are 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. The land is flat, the houses are like that, and there are good fields and beautiful ponds and mulberry bamboos. Qianmo traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other. Among them, the men and women are dressed like outsiders. Yellow hair hangs down and is happy.

When he saw the fisherman, he was shocked and asked where he had come from. Answered. Then he had to return home, and set up wine to kill chickens for food. When the village heard about this person, Xian came to inquire. Since Yun Xianshi avoided the chaos of the Qin Dynasty, he led his wife and people to this desperate situation, and did not come back, so he was separated from outsiders. Ask what the world is today, but I don't know if there is a Han, regardless of Wei and Jin. This person sighed for what he had said and heard. The rest of the people returned to their homes, and they all drank and ate. Stop for a few days and resign. The Chinese said: "It is not enough for outsiders." ”

Once he went out and got his boat, he helped him to the road, and he was determined everywhere. And the county, Yi Taishou, said so. Taishou immediately sent people to follow him, looking for what he wanted, and then he got lost and lost his way.

Nanyang Liu Ziji, a noble scholar, heard it, and happily went to it. Unsuccessfully, the search for the disease ended, and then there was no concern.

After reading Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Spring, I also agree with Shen Yifan's thoughts, judging from the inscription, the Taohuayuan Village where Shen Yifan and others are located was there during the Qin Dynasty, and the Peach Blossom Spring's Story also mentioned that the villagers came here to escape the war in the Qin Dynasty, and then there is that the Taoyuan Village in front of them is very different from Tao Yuanming's Taoyuan Village, and even the entrance of how to enter Taoyuan Village is very close to Shen Yifan and others. And in the Peach Blossom Spring, it is mentioned that they have not gone out since they entered the Peach Blossom Spring, so they don't know what happened outside, and they don't know that the dynasty is changing. It is enough to think that the people who enter the Peach Blossom Paradise will not be born, old, sick and die at all, and the inscription also mentions that these villagers have taken a pill, which may be the elixir of life.

Shen Yifan thought that Tao Yuanming had this adventure, that is, he strayed into the Peach Blossom Source here, so he wrote it as "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", Shen Yifan also mentioned the most strange thing in this Peach Blossom Source Village, that is, the inscription mentioned that after they came here, every time someone went out to look for the road, they would disappear for a few days, and when they came back, they would have no memories of before. This point is worth scrutinizing, the villagers of Taohuayuan Village will naturally have children when they live here, and Tao Yuanming's village has never mentioned that there are babies in the village, so where did these babies go? Shen Yifan thought of the Heavenly Flying Worm Flying Armor that he saw in the Great Magnetic Mountain, these Heavenly Flying Worm Flying Armor needed to be cultivated by infants, so it was very likely that the Taohuayuan Village here was also the population pasture of Beidou City. And those who go out to find the road are likely to be the ones who send the baby out of the Peach Blossom Garden, in order to prevent these people from leaving the Peach Blossom Source Village, the thinking civilization uses high technology to erase their memories.

Judging from all of the above, the Taohuayuan Village found by Shen Yifan and others is an experimental base for the four-dimensional civilized people, and it is also a base for the population of the Beidou City. All the incredible phenomena in Beidou City may be provided by the four-dimensional civilization whose technology is higher than that of the earth, including immortality.

If that's the case, there's one thing that can't be explained. Taohuayuan Village was empty in the last years of the Jin Dynasty, so how did the huge number of heavenly worm medicine in Beidou City provide? Shen Yifan guessed that it was to use the round boat, here we have to know that the inscription mentioned that those villagers entered the round boat in only one day to reach the deep mountains of the land of Nanfu, and the inscription also said that these villagers are Wuling people, the land of Wuling is in the Central Plains Once the only explanation for one day to Nanfu is that the four-dimensional civilization may master a so-called teleportation technology. It only takes a day to go anywhere.

Qi Chungang is really dead, so does Qi Chungang have immortality? This is also a problem, judging from all the encounters of Shen Yifan entering the Seven Star Immortal Palace, Qi Chungang is dead, but the layout of the Seven Star Immortal Palace is so strange and weird, it really makes Shen Yifan very incomprehensible. Shen Yifan guessed that it might be that the boat had appeared in Beidou Mountain since the Qin Dynasty for hundreds of years, and Beidou City might want to get rid of the control of the four-dimensional civilization, so he launched a war with the four-dimensional civilization, and the Beidou City failed miserably. The patriarch of Beidou Mountain at that time begged for help from the Tang Dynasty and told the Tang King about immortality, and since then he has received the help of the Tang Dynasty and used the Five Elements Corpse to defeat the four-dimensional civilized people, so the four-dimensional civilized people abandoned the Beidou City, and the Beidou City began to decline.

In fact, there are still many secrets in Beidou City that cannot be explained, such as who is the monk Xiujing? Is Qi Chungang a few generations of Min kings? And in the end, what did Xiao Chaogui of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom find in Beidou City? Did the boat that disappeared in front of Shen Yifan already exist or did it exist for a fixed time?

The inscription in Taohuayuan Village found by Shen Yifan and others can only conclude that there is really an elixir of life in the world, but where is this elixir now? None of this can be answered here.

The current Taoyuan Village in front of them is actually a deserted village, and everyone feels very safe. Just camped on the square and spread people around to find a way out, Shen Yifan served privately for a long time on the side and said, "We want to go back the same way." ”

When Liu Quan heard this, he asked, "Go back the same way?" But ......"

Shen Yifan said: "It may be a coincidence that Tao Yuanming can enter Taoyuan Village, but it is not a coincidence that he left Taoyuan Village. According to the description in "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", the Wuling fisherman found his boat after going out, which means that he returned the same way, and the exit should be in the peach blossom forest. ”

Liu Quan heard some reason, so he ordered his men to camp here and rest for the night, and return the same way tomorrow to find an exit in the peach blossom forest.

The Taohuayuan Village here is really a good place to escape from the world as Tao Yuanming wrote, listening to the sound of insects and water at night, the whole person is also relaxed, he looked at the mountains in the distance and recalled everything in Beidou City, it seemed to be an extremely surprising and terrible nightmare, he began to think about what to do after he went out?

He decided to go to Yanjing to find 'Mr.' to ask clearly, thinking about it and entering the dream, I don't know how long he slept, he was woken up by a slender jade hand, and when he opened his eyes, it was Hani.

Hani made a silent gesture and pulled him out of the camp, explaining the reason for his search.

It turned out that Liu Yao had left the camp an hour earlier to take the depths of the village to see if there was anything worth studying, but an hour had passed and he had not returned. Hani was a little worried but didn't dare to tell Liu Quan, so he wanted to ask Shen Yifan for help.

Shen Yifan was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't stand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of the beauty in front of him, and he could only compromise as a result. Hani promised that Shen Yifan helped her this time, and he would definitely return the favor in the future, and promised to invite Shen Yifan to a big meal after going out.

Shen Yifan's biggest weakness was that he couldn't withstand the helpless eyes of the beauty, looking at Hani's smart and pitiful eyes, he could only agree, and the two of them took the lighting tools and walked towards the depths of the village.

In fact, Taohuayuan Village is not very big, it didn't take long to come to the very edge of the village, and then there were layers of terraced fields, Shen Yifan thought that Liu Yao could not go to the terraces, so he searched for the ruins and broken walls, and after looking for half an hour, Shen Yifan found a Liu Yao's shoes at the door of a half-collapsed stone house, and Shen Yifan suddenly thought of the lion-faced monster.

This monster has always been wandering in the Big Dipper Mountain to find its prey, plus most of the Big Dipper Mountain has been burned by the sky, that is, it is safe here, which monster will not come here too!

Shen Yifan thought of this and looked up at the surroundings, and suddenly his eyes were fixed on the place not far in front of him, where should it be a terraced field, the terraced fields were overgrown with weeds, and it seemed that there was a building faintly, which building seemed to be very big under the moonlight.

Shen Yifan looked at the front and wondered a little in his heart: "This is strange." I didn't encounter this building during the day, so why did I encounter it at night? ”

Towards the direction of the terraces, did not take a few steps before the wind began to rise, the terraces because no one took care of the weeds has been a meter high, blown by the wind in the middle of the night made a loud sound, when Shen Yifan and Hani went deep into the center of the terraces, the closer to the front of the building, the stronger the wind, a few steps away from the building, the wind force of the person could not move at all, Hani and Shen Yifan were completely pulling the pillars next to the building step by step very difficult to walk over, when entering the building, the wind outside immediately became smaller, I can still only hear the sound of the weeds blowing.

Shen Yifan entered the building and found that this was a place of worship, in fact, the area of the building was not very large, probably because of the reflection of the moonlight and the swaying of weeds, and the proportion of the building was enlarged from a distance. The building where they are located is a hall, with an area of about two hundred square meters, and there is a hideous stone statue in the middle, the shape of this stone statue Shen Yifan has never seen it, and the facial features are a bit like the mythical Lei Gong, an eagle's beak, hanging eyes, a bull's nose, a word eyebrow, two fangs on both sides of the eagle's beak, eyes as if they are about to burst, short and muscular, made a foot movement, and held a very strange thing in his hand, Like a flag, but a bit like a spirit flag, with his hands on his shoulders and a human corpse under his bare feet.

In front of the stone statue there is a large offering table, the offering table is empty, there is a stone incense burner in front of the offering table, the main hall is supported by eight stone pillars, on both sides are very serious murals of wind erosion, the only thing that can be seen clearly is that there are some fragments of broken hands and feet, etc., and the content of Yunyun can not be seen.

The eight stone pillars are a little peculiar, there are two metal rings on each stone pillar, I don't know what it is for, there is nothing else except these, Shen Yifan looked around, and he saw all the things in the hall, and he didn't see Liu Yao, so he wanted to leave Just when he and Hani wanted to turn around and leave the hall, they saw that a huge stone door suddenly descended from the entrance of the hall, blocking the exit tightly.

Shen Yifan looked at it and exclaimed, "It's not good! As soon as the words fell, I saw two rows of stone statues rising from both sides of the main hall, these two rows of stone statues were equal to people, and their movements were all distorted and deformed, and their faces were frightened, and their movements were different, some were standing, some were lying on their stomachs, and some were running away. Shen Yifan swept his eyes and found that one of the stone statues was still squirming, and when he looked closely, it was actually Liu Yao, looking at Liu Yao's painful expression, his whole body was still twitching, as if he had been evil, and his body was slowly growing something like mud, those mud was very viscous and dried quickly, and some places on Liu Yao's body had begun to form solid.

Shen Yifan didn't say a word, and kicked towards Liu Yao's mud that was about to become solid, Liu Yao was directly kicked by Shen Yifan and grew on the wall, the mud all over his body broke away from the ground, and Liu Yao's whole person collapsed on the ground panting.

Shen Yifan grabbed Liu Yao and called Hani to go towards the exit together, at this time, he saw a round hole slowly opening at the upper end of the main hall, as if something was about to fall, Shen Yifan looked up and saw that a ball of mud was about to pour down from the round hole, fortunately, Shen Yifan was flexible, one turned around and avoided the mud, and hurriedly pulled the two women to the corner to the side.

Liu Yao's whole body collapsed and she didn't have her own consciousness at all, and as Shen Yifan dragged her around, Hani was also frightened, and kept following Shen Yifan for fear that she would be pulled down.

After the mud landed, Shen Yifan found that the mud seemed to be alive, and it was wriggling in place, and when he looked closely, there was a black insect in the mud that was only the size of a grain of rice, which was dense and dazzling. Then the insects slowly stretched out from the size of rice grains, and at a glance there were tens of thousands of maggots that looked like earthworms. Those maggots were carrying a large amount of mud and were coming towards Shen Yifan and the others.

Shen Yifan saw that the signs were wrong, and hurriedly shouted: "Go to the pillar!" As soon as the words fell, he took Liu Yao and jumped on the pillar, fortunately, the eight pillars are at the top, and there are beams connecting the eight pillars together, when he got on the pillar beam, he found that Hani she hadn't come up yet, Hani wouldn't climb the pillar, she retreated all the way, and looked at a puddle of mud on the ground slowly approaching her.

Shen Yifan put Liu Yao on the beam and jumped down and pulled Hani on the pillar beam together, at this time Hani was already scared like a sifting chaff, Shen Yifan looked down, the mud was still squirming rapidly, while wriggling while still producing mud, the mud was getting bigger and bigger, and in the blink of an eye, it had occupied half of the hall.

The exit of the main hall was blocked by the broken dragon stone, and there were mud maggots below It was impossible to get out from below, because from entering the main hall to the broken dragon stone blocking the exit, which stone statues and mud maggots appeared were almost a matter of ten minutes, Shen Yifan didn't have time to see the main hall clearly, and now he found that there was no lighting source in the main hall, and it was the moonlight that came in from both sides of the roof.

Shen Yifan looked up and was secretly glad that there was a row of holes in the direction around the roof of the main hall, which was somewhat similar to the air window at home, and the moonlight shot at the hall through the exhaust window.

Shen Yifan said: "Go out of the air window." Saying that, he half-squatted and picked up the collapsed Liu Yao, walked all the way to the air window, and the probe saw that there was no problem, first let Hani jump out of the air window and then throw Liu Yao down, fortunately, there were more than one meter of weeds in the terraces, and Liu Yao was no big problem when she went down, and then Shen Yifan also jumped out.

Just when Shen Yifan jumped out of the main hall, the main hall also slowly sank and disappeared in front of them within a few minutes, and it was still overgrown with weeds in front of them.

At this time, the pillar of light in the distance swayed, and Liu Quan rushed here with a team of people, and saw that Liu Yao and Hani were in shock, and after asking the reason, he hurriedly took them back to the camp.

Waiting for Liu Yao to get better the next day and asked at this time, only to know that Liu Yao went to the depths of Taohuayuan Village and found a stone hall, and wanted to enter to see what the place was, but as soon as she entered, she was trapped by a cloud of mud on the top, and then a strange force brought her into a roof, and then she didn't know anything.

This incident happened suddenly, and the next day a team of people dug more than ten meters on the top of the hall and did not find it, and the stone hall, everyone could only give up, according to Shen Yifan, everyone returned from the original way and found another way out in the peach forest. I walked on the river in a kayak for two days before I reached a populated place.

When Shen Yifan came to a hotel and took a bath, lying on the bed and thinking about everything before, it was like a dream, the only thing he brought out from Beidou Mountain was the four pieces of armor that were like jade and non-jade.

This sleep was dim, the strange thing was that when I woke up without any nightmares, it was already the evening of the next day, and the hungry Shen Yifan got up with sleepy eyes, and when he opened the curtains and looked at the sunset in the distance, he knew that the trip to Beidou Mountain was over.

The exploration of Beidou Mountain is over, and Shen Yifan's exploration seems to have just begun, those mysteries in his heart are burning in his heart like a fire, and he concludes that there is still a long way to go on.
