Chapter 1 Old Site

"In the Jin Taiyuan, the Wuling people fished for the industry, the edge of the stream, forgetting the distance of the road, suddenly met the peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps between the bank......."

When the sixth master mentioned "Peach Blossom Spring", such a passage popped up in my mind. {with}{dream} ั‰{suimะตng][lฤ}

I don't know why the sixth master suddenly mentioned this, but my intuition tells me....... He seemed to want to show me something.

The expression of squeezing eyebrows and sliding eyes that is clearly about to sell off the door is all too familiar to me.

The high mountain where the Xiangjiang ghosts are located is actually on a huge island, and in the past, our route up the mountain was in the front, that is, close to this side of the Xiangjiang River.

But now the sixth master is holding the boat and taking us around in a circle, straight around to the back of the island.

There was a stream that led to the mountains, at least it seemed like it was, about two or three meters wide, and the water was shallow, less than a meter deep.

On both sides of the creek are cliffs hundreds of meters high.

The water in this creek flows out of the mountain, and it seems that there is a source in the mountain.

At the entrance, there is the dividing line between the creek and the Xiangjiang River, and the direction of the water flow is different, and the clarity is completely different.

I've never seen such clean water...... No, it's not just clean, it's completely clear to the extreme, without any other ingredients....

It is no exaggeration to say that the water in this creek is almost transparent.

The boat is driving on it, looking like it is floating in the air, and that kind of dreamlike scene can really stun people.

Following the creek into the mountains, the steep cliffs on both sides slowly slow down in height as our boats move.

After a while, there were not cliffs on either side, but two dense peach groves.

The peach trees did not bloom, and the only flowers bloomed at this time were those endless weeds and wild flowers.......

After another ten minutes, the sixth master propped the boat to the source of the stream.

The water of the creek must have gushed out of the ground, and the place where we came ashore looked like a waterhole without waves.

There are no wind and waves, but it looks full of life, and it does not have the eerie feeling of a backwaterhole......

What surprised me the most was the mountains not far away.

To be honest, this mountain is only 100 meters away from us, I should have seen it, and I still feel a little familiar.

"Holy shit, isn't this the mountain on the other side?!" I couldn't help but mutter.

The place where I live with the six ghosts of Xiangjiang is on a high mountain, and the peak directly opposite that mountain is the one I saw.

I'm not sure, but that's the way it is.

Because the characteristics of the mountain are very obvious, there are almost only peach trees on the mountain, and many places have exposed gray-white rocks.

"But don't you, let's go, the sixth master will take you to see the world."

At the foot of the mountain, there is a cave that is not very visible, and the light can be faintly seen inside, as if shining from the other side of the cave.

The sixth master smiled and led us into the cave.

Soon I found out that the cave was actually a tunnel with a bell mouth, the entrance was narrow, and only one person could pass through, and after walking a little way inside, the tunnel became much wider, at least two or three meters wide.

The tunnel is actually not very long, and after walking for a while, we reached the exit of the tunnel.

"This ...... Is this really a paradise? โ€

Before I walked out of the tunnel, I also muttered in my heart, I'm afraid that the sixth master is not joking with me, this place is the Peach Blossom Spring.

From the original creek, to the peach groves on both sides, and finally to this mountain tunnel......

Xiangjiang, Hunan, all of this can be connected to the story in the Peach Blossom Spring.

But when I walked out of the tunnel and saw what I saw, I couldn't help but be surprised.

I remember that in "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", there are a few sentences about the description of the Peach Blossom Spring.

"The land is flat, the houses are like that, and there are good fields, 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. โ€

To put it simply, there is a lot of neat houses, a lot of fertile farmland, beautiful ponds, and mulberry and bamboo forests.......

But there is no ...... here Of course, it may have been.

All I could see was the ruins of a house, and the rest of the place was overgrown with weeds and rocks, and I couldn't see the beautiful scene in the Peach Blossom Garden.

"When the master first came here, he said that there was no one here, and what we saw now was what he was like when he came." The sixth master lit a cigarette and chatted with me, glanced left and right, and seemed to feel a little lost: "There are many legends about the Peach Blossom Spring, I also heard it when I was young, and I still thought about it at the time....... If you can see with your own eyes what the Peach Blossom Paradise looks like, you will have no regrets in this life. โ€

As soon as the words fell, the sixth master shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "As a result, I still don't think it's interesting to live directly opposite the Peach Blossom Paradise now." โ€

"I thought the Peach Blossom Paradise was a fictional place....... Chen Qiuyan opened her eyes wide, looking at this dilapidated ruin curiously, although she couldn't see the kind of Peach Blossom Paradise described in the book, she didn't feel lost, she was still full of interest.

The sixth master was like taking a guest to visit his own home, holding a cigarette and leading us up very casually, leading the way, while chatting with us, most of them were talking about how disappointed they were when they came here for the first time.

After walking around the old site of Peach Blossom Spring, we found nothing other than gravel and gravel.

As for whether this place is really like the description in the Peach Blossom Spring, it was built by some refugees who fled the war during the Qin period, we can't be sure.

There are no objects that can prove the age of these ruins, let alone antiquities, even the most ordinary pots and pans, or some sculptural ornaments, there are none.

"These people may have moved ......away," Chen Qiuyan said to me as she looked at the ruins, "It's unlikely that they will go extinct naturally........

"It's not a big fart." I laughed and said, "You don't know how many dangerous guys there are around here, not to mention far, there are a lot of deadly living ancestors in the water." โ€

"Those were all later, not at first." The sixth master said: "Actually, this girl is not wrong, her speculation is the same as what the master said before, this group of people has moved away, maybe it is related to the fisherman who found the peach blossom spring, the grandson found this place with his front foot, and they withdrew with his back foot." โ€

"That's not right." I was confused and said, "Didn't someone find me again?" The fisherman left a mark, but he didn't find it. โ€

"I can't tell you about this." The sixth master smiled: "Who knows what happened back then?" โ€

At that moment, I unexpectedly noticed a figure in front of me.

The man stopped the moment he appeared, looked at us from afar, and waited for us to pass.

"Master Xiang!" I smiled and raised my hand to greet him, and greeted him warmly.

The ghost of Xiangjiang seemed to have known that we would go up the mountain from here, and when he saw us, he didn't seem surprised, and he showed a rare smile.

When we walked over, the Xiangjiang ghost looked me up and down a few times, and his smile was even brighter.

"Not bad." Xiangjiang Ghost patted me on the shoulder and smiled with satisfaction: "It seems that you have gained a lot from this trip." โ€

"It's okay." I smiled, thinking of the collapsed Tianshan Mountain by me, I couldn't help but touch my nose, and said with some embarrassment: "It's just a bit of a setback." โ€

The ghost of Xiangjiang was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know about the Tianshan Mountain, and asked me rhetorically: "What frustration?" โ€

"You don't know??" I was also a little surprised.

"Maybe the news hasn't come back yet." The sixth master whispered: "Let's come back in a hurry, maybe the speed of message transmission hasn't kept up, this is a good thing!" โ€

"What the hell is going on?" Xiangjiang Ghost frowned and asked, "Did you suffer when you met the people of the old sect?" Or didn't they fight and ran back? โ€

"Master, look at what you said....... Sixth Master said helplessly: "Are we the kind of people who can't beat and run?" โ€

Hearing this, the Xiangjiang ghost nodded, and said with deep thought that this is true, if you haven't fought the people of the old sect, you will definitely not be able to come back.

"Let's go back and rest first, you should be tired all the way."

As soon as the words fell, the Xiangjiang ghost glanced at Chen Qiuyan and said with a smile.

"Little girl, you are the first uninvited guest in so many years."

Hearing Xiangjiang ghost say this, Chen Qiuyan also looked a little embarrassed, but before we could say anything, Xiangjiang ghost turned around and walked back, waving at us without looking back.

"But you're welcome, come along."
