Chapter 10: The Secret of the Paradise
When the gods came, they placed teacups on the stone table beside us.
"Come, let's try our specialty here-Long tea." Tianci carried a kettle to brew tea for us and warmly invited.
At this time, Professor Xia said: "God, I have drunk a lot of tea, what is the point of this Long tea." β
When Professor Xia asked this, Tianci was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Uncle Xia, this Long tea is made by roasting and drying the tender tips of the Long tree in early spring.
"It has a unique taste;
"Traditional tea is bitter first and then sweet, and it is sweet when you drink it first, and finally the taste of 'bitter, spicy and sour' will swell in your mouth.
"This tea can make people cry at the same time, but also make people understand the joys and sorrows of life, which is the essence of the tea ceremony."
When Professor Xia heard this, the impatience in his heart jumped on his face: "Then I have to taste it carefully, it's amazing to listen to." β
"Uncle Xia, you're welcome, you drink slowly," Tianci looked at me after treating Professor Xia politely, "Brother Sen, why are you here today?" You're a busy person, and you have to look at the store. β
At this time, Professor Xia, who wanted to drink tea, heard it and glanced at me, and after I understood what he meant, I said to Tianci: "There is nothing else, just a little thing." By the way, what about Uncle Zhang? β
Hearing my question, Tianci was puzzled: "Brother Sen, didn't my grandfather go to you for a chess date, why, you didn't see him?" β
"Maybe it was when we came and he missed. But don't worry, he will come back after seeing that my shop is closed, and after a walk around the flower and bird market.
"After he comes back, you help me tell him that I have something to do in the past two days, so let him not go to me." Seeing that Uncle Zhang would come to me when he had nothing to do, I explained the situation to God, so that he could tell Uncle Zhang for me.
"Yikes! This tea tastes so strange. Ling Xin said with a bitter face after taking a big sip on the side.
"Lingxin, it's not this tea monster, but you don't know how to taste it, how can you drink tea with such a big gulp!" That's why I explained to her.
Then, Tianci's expression looked very confused, and I thought maybe he didn't react at first.
I think I guessed what was going on in his mind, and if he hadn't explained it, he might have been struggling with it all along.
"Uncle Xia, God's gift, listen to your heart, about the questions between the two of you, I'll explain it to you now, otherwise you won't be able to let go, especially you, God's gift!" I looked at them, "Actually, I tell you a story about all the doubts in it, and you will know it." β
Seeing that they all nodded their heads, I told me everything I knew about this place:
In the Jin Taiyuan Dynasty, a good wine poet Yuan Xixing, exhausting the peach forest, in the gap of the mountain pass as for this, the Qin Dynasty war and the wood art family (Gong Yi clan) who hid here, specializing in wood art at the same time, part-time fishing, saw the poet drunk when he also deciphered the stone steps code before the arrival, the clansmen were treated warmly.
After some leisure, the patriarch was very different and asked the poet: Why did you come here?
The poet said in a trance: "Poetry comes."
The patriarch of the Gongyi clan knew that the stone ladder layout was ingenious, and the poet did not look like a feng shui master at all, so he concluded: the pattern set by the ancestors was cleverly poetic, and the poet broke the stone ladder layout by mistake and came to the village when he was drunk.
When the clansmen saw outsiders coming, they came to greet them and treat them with delicious food. Subsequently, the patriarch summoned the painters of the clan and the poet to paint together, and regarded the portrait as a treasure.
In the evening, a faint wind swept across the poet's cheeks, and the poet woke up and saw that he was in a wood, and when he was looking for a peach source, he returned in vain. After that, the poet wrote an essay that was passed down to the world.
Curious people therefore searched for it, but in the end it was fruitless, so it became a paradise that people yearn for after they are tired of the world.
In fact, this is the legendary Peach Blossom Spring, and God gave you the original surname Ji, the male loser, and the male loser is your ancestor. While your family inherits the art of wood, it is also responsible for guarding the secrets of the peach forest.
As for why only your family is still here, I think it is because the people of the clan are tired of the isolated life here, and in the subsequent dynasties and generations have gone out, because for them, the outside world is what they yearn forβparadise.
As for why your family is still here, it is actually abiding by a valuable spirit of contract.
After some explanation, they were dumbfounded, for which I smiled and said, "All of you have questions written on your faces, and I only have one mouth, please raise your hand to speak!" β
"Brother Sen, you said that this is Taoyuan, I believe it, you say that I am a descendant of Luban, what basis do you have." For this reason, Tianci first ate crabs for this series of mysteries and raised his hand.
I looked at him and said, "Your grandfather's copy of "Ingenuity" is Lu Ban's posthumous work, and it is also important evidence. β
"Oh." After the heavenly gift answered, the confusion was still written on his face.
"Alright, Uncle Xia, Lingxin, I know you can't wait for all this. I'll ask you both a question now, how did we get here? I looked at them and said.
"How? We came here with you as if we were in a forest. "Professor Xia, who was asked by me like this, seemed to have some confused memories.
"Yes, Sen, I didn't feel anything strange during the period, and I came here after walking." Lingxin then added.
They came here with me in a daze, and when I heard me say that this is the paradise, and about the series of ancient mysteries involved here, each of which is a huge discovery that cannot be verified by modern science, the complex expressions on their faces are more complex than I have ever seen before.
For this reason, I took a sip of tea and said, "Actually, this paradise is the work of our family. β
"Your family, Sen, you don't want to take all the good things from you, okay?" The tense atmosphere broke Ling Xin's laughter.
"Lingxin, don't laugh, this is a true story!" I instantly became serious.
"Lingxin, don't laugh yet, let Sen finish, everything here is beyond our cognition, I think Sen will definitely explain a reason for us, you sit down first, listen to him." Professor Xia pulled the corner of Lingxin's clothes and said.
"Well," I glanced at Professor Xia, nodded, and continued, "My ancestor Sen Changqing and the heaven-sent ancestor Gongyi Yan are close friends, and then here for the Gong Yi clan according to the vision that exists in this valley, set up a feng shui bureau 'Phoenix Quanqi' to settle down.
"According to the story that my family has circulated, the cottage where Mori Changqing is located has suffered a geological disaster, and this is the peach town mentioned by his wife during the crisis.
"At first, I thought it was just a legend, and I didn't associate it with it at all, but then my father found that the book "Kanyu Secret Art" really contained it, and I realized that this is a paradise built by my ancestor Sen Changqing for the Gongyi people according to local conditions.
"The magic of its environment combined with the mystical art of the world makes it an outside world."
"What is the outside world?" Lingxin interrupted me curiously.
"The outside world, as the name suggests, is not a compilation that belongs to this world, but it exists in this world. Got it! To that end, I briefly explained to her.
After answering Lingxin's question, Professor Xia asked, "Sen, according to what you said, I believe it is the Peach Spring, but why can we come in?" β
For this question, Tianci, who was also puzzled, also hurriedly echoed: "Yes, Brother Sen, it stands to reason that Uncle Xia and Sister Xin shouldn't be able to enter here?" β
