Chapter 26: Broken Soul Slope
To know about the situation of Pantaoyuan, we must also introduce the origin of the Broken Soul Slope, which complement each other.
Regarding the Broken Soul Slope, there has been a brief introduction before, and here, you might as well introduce it a little more.
When Jiang Sung-hwan was in middle school, he moved once in extreme confusion.
The new home is in a deep old mountainous area, the kind of deep mountain and old forest that looks up and takes off the hat. He still remembers vividly the time when he rode a farm tractor through the sheep intestine trail in the mountains, bumpy and full of falling pain.
In the extreme turbulence, I suddenly felt a flash of inspiration in front of me, and a lofty mountain appeared. The scene is truly unique, with crags intertwined with dogs' teeth, waterfalls cascading down like the Milky Way, lush trees, clouds and smoke that swirl around the hills and dripping into the mountain cols, and a vast bamboo sea like waves, which is simply like a fairyland. When the tractor climbed a steep hill with difficulty, and when he sped down the hill in the middle to look down, he actually saw a green peach orchard not far away.
He suddenly came to his senses, jumped off the tractor desperately, and ran towards the direction of Pan Taoyuan.
Deep into the peach forest, it is a lush one, he penetrated into the forest, and ran all the way in the forest. It's a quiet and tranquil world, unusually clean, as if it had been washed with water. He walked around, and there was not a single figure in the forest, and it seemed to be a peach forest that never ran to the edge. The fly in the ointment is that this is not the fruiting period at this time, and I didn't see the huge and tender peach. However, that uniqueness, which has never been found anywhere else, suddenly leads the human mind into a wonderful realm. In the peach orchard, although there is soil, it gives people a unique feeling of spotlessness; Although it is a maze, it is more lush and strong; The mountains and rivers are empty, the air is fresher, the peach leaves are greener, and the fruit trees are stronger.
This area is Pan Tao Ling, Pan Tao Ling is named after this piece of peach.
On Pantao Ridge, there used to be a beautiful and magical legend. It is said that during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, a tragic love story happened here.
Pan Tao Ling because of the prosperity of the peach, sporadically admired the people, perhaps in order to have an auspicious picture, go up the mountain to ask for the peach, hoping that the peach will bring themselves and their families a peace and happiness. Over time, more and more people came to ask for peaches, and gradually around the peaches, a large-scale peach trading market was formed in this area.
It is said that this was once a very prosperous ancient village, and the population of the village has always been as high as one or two thousand, and with the floating population, it will double and turn a corner.
In this village, there is a beautiful girl like a flower, with a pair of charming eyes, and can sing and dance, and is a beauty billet that everyone loves. Unexpectedly, she fell in love with a talent in the village, and she was in and out of pairs, which was enviable. Although Xiucai is handsome and talented, but poor and has no social background, Xiucai is determined to change everything through his own efforts and create a beautiful and happy life.
However, there was a rich man's son in the village who was nicknamed Young Master Kuo with a handful of hair, and his heart was uncomfortable, and he set his sights on the girl, intending to possess it. A handful of hair is a family man, and has a pair of children, obviously this is a non-dividing thought. However, such a person does not care about these people, and there are groups of women outside on weekdays, and now, he is targeting this girl again. How could a girl be entangled with such a man, and she would not want to deal with a man like him. Seeing this, a handful of hair was unwilling to give up, and took advantage of the young man's entry into the battlefield to forcibly occupy the girl and want to take a concubine. After the loss of the girl's pain, she felt ashamed of the young man, she didn't drink tea all day, didn't think about food, washed her face with tears, accumulated worries into illness, collapsed and couldn't become a human form, and then, on a dark and windy night, a person looked for a short time in the peach forest.
Later, people passing by Pantaoling in the middle of the night heard the terrifying cry of a woman, the cry was miserable, it was the kind of sound that pierced the night sky and echoed in mid-air, as if it came from a distant corner and drifted away. Over time, there were rumors about the haunting of Pantao Ridge. Everyone who hears this cry is frightened half to death, and the cry is terrible, and it follows the man, and you are fast, you are fast, you are slow, you are slow, and if you stop, the cry will be weeping in the same place.
What's even more terrifying is that whoever hears the cry will have bad luck one after another. After a period of painful suffering, these people either did nothing all their lives, or collapsed and went crazy, or even died violently for no apparent reason. The fate of a handful of hairs is the worst of them, he actually hanged himself on another peach tree near the girl's short-sightedness. His death is the most strange for everyone, no one believes that he is committing suicide, he wants to eat and eat, drink and drink, play and play, have everything, lack nothing, when the spring breeze is proud, calling for wind and rain, why do you want to seek death? Some people say that although he was carefree, the reason why he hanged himself was because of the discovery of conscience and self-isolation from heaven, but more people disagreed, and did not believe that this kind of beast would have a conscience to find a day when he would seek liberation, afraid that God was cleaning him up, cleaning up those wicked people who had done a lot of evil and lost their conscience.
In short, ordinary people, talking ordinary words, crazy people, saying crazy things, each saying their own words, the more they spread, the more miraculous they become, and the more they spread, the more terrifying they become. The more mysterious it is, the more frightened it is, and some people, either because of weakness in their hearts or for fear of what will happen, move out of this village where right and wrong occur frequently. Over time, there were fewer and fewer people here, and finally it became a barren land.
Alas, too, on such a ridge that costs people's lives, it is really a soul-breaking slope that costs people's lives, and after that, some people simply called Pantaoling a soul-breaking slope, and over time, it really became a soul-breaking slope.
It was originally a treasure land of feng shui, but now it has become a place where everyone is secretive, and who can say clearly.
The weirdness of the year is indescribable. Not to mention back then, even now, strange things happen from time to time. It is said that in recent years, with the development, in order to facilitate the passage, a winding mountain road has been built that runs through the entire mountain range of the Broken Soul Slope, which greatly facilitates the passage of passing vehicles. Who would dare to say that this is not a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but many unfortunate things have happened in the construction and use of this winding road. Not to mention the fact that many people were killed and injured due to the construction of this winding road, but after the opening of traffic, many car accidents occurred frequently, even nonsensical car accidents. Many drivers in the past have reported that when driving through here, it is easy to have the illusion that it is uphill, mistaken for downhill, obviously downhill, but it is regarded as uphill, and they forget to step on the accelerator when they should step on the accelerator, and they kick to the end when they should not step on the accelerator, either falling off the cliff or hitting the cliff, causing a tragedy.
Many drivers reported that when the car drove halfway up the mountain, there would be a strange bird's cry, which sounded like a bird crying; Or when the car turns, something flashes out of the cold, and it is not clear what it is; Or when the car goes downhill to the dangerous section of the cliff, there will be a huge unknown bird that will swoop towards the car...... And so on, which made people suddenly feel a kind of unpreparedness, and instantly lost control, leading to a sudden disaster.
In view of this, the consequences of car accidents here are often quite serious, either tragic deaths or serious injuries, which are chilling.
Nowadays, the peach orchard on the slope of the broken soul has long been lush, although there are still peach trees, but sporadic gardens, far less than the peach orchard of Jiufeng. When Jiang Chenghuan asked about this, Jiufeng said that there was an obstacle on the Broken Soul Slope.
Evil creature?
After hearing this, Jiang Chenghuan added a sentence very innocently and said, So, why doesn't Sister Feng help eliminate the evil obstacles?
After hearing this, Jiufeng laughed.
Seeing this, Jiang Chenghuan was confused, and he didn't know why Jiufeng was smiling so brightly.
Seeing that Jiang Chenghuan was very curious, Jiufeng said slowly.
She taught in a wise man-like tone, little brat, I don't know, then Sister Feng will tell you.
So, she said at the end of the day.
Originally, because the Broken Soul Slope is close to the five gorges, it is a gathering place for water and land, and it is a necessary place for all candidates to divide and lead to the outside world, and it is a place where soldiers must fight in history, so wars occur frequently, and because the terrain in this area is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is a natural barrier, every time a war occurs, it is inevitable that there will be a large number of casualties, and the lives will be ruined, and the people will not be able to survive; Because the disobedient people have done a lot of evil in this place and committed heavy debts, so the yin qi is too heavy, so the Jade Emperor ordered the evacuation of this side of the land, completely abandoned this side of the water and soil, and left it to be cleaned up by itself as a punishment.
"Alas, such a situation can not be controlled by the meager strength of my generation alone." Jiufeng said this, and sighed unconsciously.
Hearing Jiufeng say this, Jiang Chenghuan was skeptical, he stared at Jiufeng with wide eyes, he couldn't believe that all this was true, and he didn't understand the heavenly rules, doctrines, rules and regulations of the Heavenly Palace, so he just stayed there and didn't know what to do. In a word, this is the evil of the world, and it is self-inflicted. He was thinking wildly, and unconsciously picked a huge peach and held it in his hand.
Seeing this, Jiufeng smiled and said, "Well, you can eat it......"
Jiang Chenghuan didn't wait for her to finish speaking, opened his mouth and took a bite and chewed it.
"Well, that's sweet......"
However, before the words fell, I felt that the whole person "soared" into the air, and I didn't know where to go.
When he regained his senses, he realized that he was no longer in Pantaoyuan, and when he turned around, it was still dark in front of him, and he returned to the place where he had just broken up with Bian Haibo. This remorse, I don't want to mention it. He wanted to go back to find Jiufeng, but he tried to cross several times, but failed. Because, in the end, he didn't know how to cross, he tried to use the previous method to step on the air, but he couldn't fall down, and he still stepped on the hard ground, and his feet hurt. Reality is reality, and if you want to go back to that kind of illusory world, there is no trick at all. Although it is a cross-time and space exchange, it is not separated by yin and yang, but also separated by different spaces, and it is difficult to advance and retreat, and it is almost no different from yin and yang.
"Obviously, that peach is not eaten casually, but I just let me eat it, hmph, this Jiufeng, I don't know what it means," Jiang Chenghuan was haunted, and continued to think about how to turn back again, "Alas, what should I do next?" ”
He suddenly realized that the moment he took off into the air, Jiufeng seemed to have something to say to himself, he only saw her mouth moving, but because he took a bite of the peach, he couldn't hear anything clearly. All of them are like, swallowing dates, not knowing the taste, but he deduced a realistic version of swallowing peaches, leaving lifelong regrets.
"How can I save the girl on the sickbed?"
This has become an insurmountable gap for Jiang Chenghuan, after returning home, he lies on the bed tossing and turning and can't sleep, just tossing and turning, self-pity, tossing and turning, almost all night without sleeping.
After going through the fairyland, Jiang Chenghuan's mind seems to have matured a lot all of a sudden, and when he thinks about all the problems in a daze, he seems to have experienced vicissitudes for a long time, and he is so handy, so that Jiufeng has almost become the entire content of his emotional world. When he was in a hurry, he couldn't help but sigh at the sky, crying to the ground, and his body and mind were completely caught in an inexplicable situation. He really didn't know how to get back to that peach orchard.
