Chapter 593: Entrance to the Peach Spring
Sheng Wanxiang didn't understand why Wu Zhiyuan didn't let her open her eyes, but she could hear Wu Zhiyuan's serious and cautious tone, so she dispelled the idea of opening her eyes, and was pulled by Wu Zhiyuan to slowly move forward. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info,,。 Visit:..
The sound of running water in the distance became clearer and clearer, and it could be seen that the two were indeed moving in the direction of the river.
After continuing to walk for more than ten steps, Wu Zhiyuan stopped, and at the same time let go of Sheng Wanxiang's hand, and said calmly, "Open your eyes." ”
Sheng Wanxiang slowly opened her eyes obediently, and what caught her eye was the long-lost river, the river flow speed was not fast, the sound of the water was dingdong, crystal clear, from time to time there were a few pieces of peach 'flower' 'flower' petals floating down the water, rippling a circle of 'wave' lines, and then drifting farther and farther with the water.
"We've finally found it;!" Sheng Wanxiang smiled happily and looked at Wu Zhiyuan, her eyes were full of admiration.
Seeing this river that runs straight through the peach 'flower' forest, Wu Zhiyuan's mood was also greatly refreshed, and he said with a smile, "We go upstream against the river, as long as we go to the source of the river, we should be able to find the entrance to the source of the peach 'flower'." ”
"Hmm!" Sheng Wanxiang nodded heavily.
The two walked hand in hand along the river bank, the river is not wide, the bank is covered with grass, and sometimes there are 'flower' petals falling into it, which is more chic and interesting. But at this time, Wu Zhiyuan and Sheng Wanxiang had no time to enjoy the scenery, and the two of them observed the surroundings while moving forward, for fear that something would suddenly happen.
The river goes around in the peach grove, and from time to time there is a bend in the direction, but the river is always not in a hurry, the so-called still water flow deep, although the river water is clear and the bottom is visible, the flow speed is not fast, but its actual depth should be far above the depth seen by the 'naked eye'.
Wu Zhiyuan doesn't know the 'sex' of water, so he is especially cautious.
"Can you swim?" Wu Zhiyuan asked as he walked.
"No, it won't." Sheng Wanxiang smiled like a 'flower', "Although I grew up by the sea, I have never been to see the sea, I stay in the room every day to read and write to be a 'female' red, and then Sister Xie came, she occasionally took me out to visit the foreign company." It's a pity that Sister Xie has a thin face, alas, ......" Speaking of this, Sheng Wanxiang sighed deeply.
Wu Zhiyuan knew that the sister Xie she said was the seventh aunt of Sheng Ji Muxing, that is, Xie Linglin, who Du Yuesheng had asked him to send a letter to Sheng's house. At the mention of these sad pasts, both fell silent.
In fact, everything is fate, if Wu Zhiyuan hadn't met Du Yuesheng at the beginning, he wouldn't have gone to Sheng's house to deliver a letter alone, and he wouldn't have fallen in love with Sheng Wanxiang. And the two later went to look for Xie Linglin, but they happened to meet Nantianying, because of Nantianying's use, Wu Zhiyuan went to Congma Zen Temple, and he didn't know the Moon Shadow Fuxian.
Now that I think about it, it all seems to be a hidden arrangement.
Every time he thinks of this, Wu Zhiyuan always has a lot of emotion in his heart, and at this time, he is alone with Sheng Wanxiang in such a quiet place, which is especially emotional.
Unconsciously, the two walked along the river bank all the way out of three or four miles, Wu Zhiyuan found at this time that not far ahead seemed to be the end of the peach 'flower' forest, because there was a mountain not far in front, the mountain was gentle, undulating, and it was impossible to see where it started and where it ended;
"We're here." Wu Zhiyuan stared at the mountain in front of him and said with a solemn expression.
Sheng Wanxiang was obviously more excited than Wu Zhiyuan, she took Wu Zhiyuan's hand and ran forward.
When the two came to the mountain, they saw that the peach 'flower' forest was extinct here, and the river seemed to flow out of the mountain, because the two could clearly see that there was a bucket-thick 'hole' in the rock below the mountain, and the clear water in the 'hole' bubbled out and finally merged into the river.
"How can there be such vigorous clear water flowing from this mountain?" Seeing the strange scene in front of her, Sheng Wanxiang was quite surprised.
"The mountain has a strong capacity to hold water, which is why the water here is so vigorous." Wu Zhiyuan looked at the 'hole' the thickness of the bucket and explained that this kind of scene was not new to him, and there was also a stone crack in the big stone in front of the lion guarding the mountain at the foot of Longshan, and the clear spring bubbled out in it all year round.
"However, the water coming out here could also be groundwater, and this 'hole' may extend downwards to the underground water veins." Wu Zhiyuan added.
Wu Zhiyuan concluded that no matter which possible 'sex', this 'hole' would definitely not be the entrance to the source of peach 'flowers'. Because the entrance to the source of peach 'flower' must pass directly through the mountain, it is a mountain 'hole' that opens at both ends, and this water 'hole' is unlikely to be open at both ends. Therefore, the entrance to the source of peach 'flowers' must be hidden in a relatively secret place.
With this in mind, Wu Zhiyuan handed the Blood Shadow Demon Knife to Sheng Wanxiang, holding the peach wood sword himself, and the two of them each looked for the entrance to the source of the peach 'flower'.
According to Tao Yuanming's record in the peach 'flower' source record, the Wuling fisherman found the entrance to the mountain 'cave' at the edge of the peach 'flower' forest and at the end of the river, and the mountain 'hole' does not seem to be hidden, it can be found at a glance, but Wu Zhiyuan searched around, but did not find the location of the mountain 'hole', and he couldn't help but begin to doubt the true 'nature' of the peach 'flower' source record, those literati and ink writers are the best at making up and revising the story, Tao Yuanming may find the Wuling fisherman to find the peach The flower's source has been polished and modified.
After looking around, Wu Zhiyuan found nothing, and when he returned to the end of the river, he found that Sheng Wanxiang was already waiting there, and it could be seen from her disappointed expression that she didn't find it either.
"Strange, how can there not be that legendary mountain 'cave'?" Wu Zhiyuan glanced at the mountain and muttered to himself.
"Brother Zhiyuan, do you think it could be that the people who live inside blocked that mountain 'hole' in order to prevent people from disturbing outside?" Sheng Wanxiang asked on a whim;
Wu Zhiyuan pondered it carefully and felt that Sheng Wanxiang's speculation was very likely.
Suddenly, Wu Zhiyuan remembered the beggar who escaped from the peach 'flower' source, and a trace of inspiration suddenly rose in his heart.
The beggar 'handed' Wu Zhiyuan's words in the abandoned house resurfaced in his mind: "Little brother, if you are destined to come to the source of peach 'flowers', help me with a word, just say that the person who left the source of peach 'flowers' without permission thirteen years ago is dead, let them not come out to me again!" ”
According to this sentence, after the beggar left the peach 'flower' source, the people in the peach 'flower' source never stopped looking for him, which shows that the people in the peach 'flower' source never gave up on him.
If the people in the peach 'flower' source block the entrance, it is very likely that the beggar will not be able to find the entrance when he returns. It is impossible for the people in the peach 'flower' garden not to take this into account, so after the entrance is blocked, there must be some obvious mark, so that the beggar can return to the peach 'flower' source from the entrance smoothly.
Thinking of this, Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly looked at the mountain in front of him, wanting to see some clues from the mountain.
Sure enough, he soon noticed something unusual about the mountain.
The mountain in front of you is only a part of the mountains, and as far as the eye can see, the mountains are covered with deciduous trees, and there is not a single pine tree, but there is a pine tree not far from the end of the river.
The pine tree was small, with a trunk the thickness of a bowl, and it grew straight up the mountain, its roots digging deep into the gravel of the mountain, about half a man's height above the ground.
Wu Zhiyuan walked in front of this pine tree many times just now, and did not find anything abnormal, but now when he looks at it, he suddenly feels that this pine tree appears here is really a little abrupt. He walked straight to the pine tree and used his peachwood sword to remove the weeds under the pine tree, only to see a pile of rubble.
Wu Zhiyuan knew that it was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, he handed the peach wood sword to Sheng Wanxiang, stretched out his hands to hold the trunk of the pine tree, kicked the rock with his feet, and pulled out the pine tree with all his might.
Sure enough, under Wu Zhiyuan's fierce force, the roots of the pine tree began to loosen, and Wu Zhiyuan slowly pulled it out of the rubble, and at the same time, a small 'hole' appeared in the place where the pine tree was pulled out, and there was a faint light in the 'hole'.
