——In the Jin Taiyuan 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, and the fallen flowers are colorful. The fisherman is very different. Moving forward again, I want to exhaust the forest.

When Bai Yusheng woke up from his dream, there was still a burning sunset above his head.

This is the seventh time he has come to this place in Zhangjiajie, Wuling. Ever since he came here several years ago, he had often had strange dreams.

In the dream, he became a different person, and went to another world, where there was a village with houses and only a waterway like a sheep's intestine......

Bai Yusheng saw a pink peach blossom forest there, with petals scattered on the clear water, and the narrow and deep paths between the fields.

He wanted to figure out if this place really existed. Another point is that Bai Yusheng's best friend and outdoor adventure partner Yang Chen disappeared because of Wuling.

To be exact, it is the peach blossom source of Wuling.

It was one night a few years ago, and Yang Chen's whole person became nervous after returning from a trip to Wuling. At that time, he told Bai Yusheng that he was hiding from a few foreigners and wanted to stay here for a few days.

"Why are they looking for you?"

"Because, Peach Blossom Spring...... Peach Blossom Paradise ......"

"What?"

"It's the Peach Blossom Spring!"

Bai Yusheng never understood what this "Peach Blossom Spring" meant. Yang Chen also became more and more strange, talking nonsense all day long, sometimes sleepwalking in the middle of the night, running to the balcony to talk in any direction, as if someone was standing there.

"Old Yang!"

He shouted in horror, and Yang Chen, who had been hit by an evil spirit, finally turned his head stiffly. There was a sudden green tendon between Yang Chen's neck, which swelled and contracted like an earthworm.

"I'm going to Peach Blossom Garden...... Only there is the safest. Scarlet blood flowed out of Yang Chen's eyes, and his pupils contracted into the word "I" of reptiles, "Those people are here." ”

"What those?!"

Yang Chen suddenly stepped on the guardrail of the balcony, Bai Yusheng was taken aback, and no longer caring about anything, he rushed forward, grabbed his sleeve with his left hand, and held the railing tightly with his right hand.

"What stupid things are you doing!" Bai Yusheng roared, "Is there anything you can't say well......?

The sleeves of his shirt were torn, Bai Yusheng's eyes widened, and Yang Chen was like a puppet with a broken line, falling off the nine-story apartment building.

Bai Yusheng sat down on the ground, "How can you ......," he muttered to himself, "Old Yang." Fell?"

There was still the fragrance of peach blossoms in the half sleeve of his hand, if there was nothing, somehow, Bai Yusheng felt that his back was cold.

In less than an hour, police cars and ambulances arrived, and the lights were lit up throughout the apartment building in the twilight, and some residents watched eagerly. But the police and doctors did not find Yang Chen's body.

There was only a trail of blood on the ground, and it dragged on for a long time, like a brush dipped in red ink that had been forcefully scratched, but when it reached the bushes, it was gone.

Disappeared?!It is completely impossible to live after falling from the ninth floor. Yang Chen's body was never found.

A few years later, Bai Yusheng received a letter from Yang Chen.

There are only a few words on it. I'm waiting for you in Peach Blossom Spring.

And also. Beware, Empire, and Foreigners.

He's still alive, at least that's what Bai Yusheng thinks. And the matter is related to the so-called Peach Blossom Spring.

Could it be Wuling? He packed up his equipment and went to that famous scenic spot, Wuling Zhangjiajie.

I'm waiting for you in Peach Blossom Spring.

The events of that year always left a big shadow on Bai Yusheng, he often dreamed of a strange place, but it was neither the Peach Blossom Spring, nor the Wuling Zhangjiajie.

He always wondered if Yang Chen would turn into a powerful ghost and write this letter. No, he's alive, no, he's dead, he's alive......

The answer to everything is in the Peach Blossom Garden. In addition to those few words, there was also a map in the envelope, which was marked with a circle in red pen on the location of a certain Tianmen waterway.

Follow the map. ——Traveling by the stream, forgetting the distance of the road. This is the seventh time I've been here.

There is a narrow waterway between the two green hills that are almost next to each other, and Bai Yusheng himself rows the stream. The two mountains overhead stand tall like stone pillars supporting the sky.

Gradually, the surrounding fog increased, and I don't know when a few more looming peach trees appeared on both sides, and the pink petals were fluttering one after another, and the pink clouds were hidden in the mist, and the stream was also rendered pink.

Does Peach Blossom Land really exist?

——Suddenly encounter the peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps between the shore, there are no miscellaneous trees, the fragrant grass is delicious, and the fallen flowers are colorful.

Bai Yusheng couldn't help but wrap his clothes tightly, the extreme and bewitching beauty, and a hint of coolness, which was suffocating. He also heard some kind of whisper, and on the hazy water, there were shadows of other people, who were speaking strange words, inaudible, but not in Chinese.

"Who?" the whisper continued, and Bai Yusheng's consciousness became blurred, wondering if those people had seen him.

No more. The eyelids are getting heavier. Bai Yusheng reluctantly rowed the boat to the shore, and he held on to the peach tree and stumbled. He almost fell down several times.

There seemed to be a few ancient houses in front of him, just like the feeling of "another village with dark willows and bright flowers", with vegetable fields, wine flags, small bridges and ancient wells......

It's just that it's so quiet here, there's no one, not even the sound of pigs, cows, dogs, and pheasants that is common in the countryside.

A few white lanterns swayed gently in front of the doors of several rooms, and the coldness made people shiver.

People, where have they gone?

The shadows of several people appeared in the mist, as if they were standing in the water, standing and looking at it. Bai Yusheng suddenly felt more and more dizzy, and those people seemed to have found him and walked towards him.

And then......

Then it seemed that he had fainted, Bai Yusheng had that strange dream again, and when he woke up, the clouds above his head were burning, and the sunset was slowly sinking.

"Are you awake?"

Bai Yusheng suddenly became agitated and found that his hands and feet were tied. Several people stood in front of him, dressed in strange costumes, one with a knife in his hand, and the person talking to him was a Japanese man in a kimono.

Bai Yusheng gasped, and before he had time to think about where these people came from, he hurriedly took a few steps back, unable to say a word.

The Japanese had two samurai swords hanging from his waist, and behind him were several other people, a blonde white man wearing monocles and white court tuxedos, and the others looked like mercenaries in disguise, presumably from some Asian country.

"Hey, let me ask you, what are you doing here?" the Japanese asked in Chinese, not very fluent.

"I ...... Looking for a friend. ”

"Oh. The Japanese approached Bai Yusheng on the ground, and pulled out a short, sharp rib gap, "Why is your friend in this place?"

"I ......" Bai Yusheng's jaw touched the cold blade, and he had to cut his throat as long as he went a few minutes deeper, what the hell, what the hell do these people want to do. He gritted his teeth and said, "I, no, know, Tao." His face was as pale as white paper.

The Japanese smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I don't believe it." ”

The ribs slid quickly across his fingertips as if he had moved, the blade was reversed, and the mercenaries rolled up their sleeves one by one, grabbed Bai Yusheng's wrist without saying anything, dragged him under a peach blossom tree, and pressed him hard, pressing him down under the tree.

"What are you going to do?!" Bai Yusheng asked tremblingly, he didn't have to think about it and knew that he had no chance to resist at all, but he still kicked his legs in vain.

"Test how much he resonates with the medieval world. The Japanese ordered.

"Okay, General!"

The mercenary forcibly put a device on Bai Yusheng's wrist, and a string of numbers and English appeared on the LCD screen of the machine.

"Testing. ”

"The values fluctuate a lot and are very unstable. ”

There was a sound of electricity coming from the instrument, and Bai Yusheng felt that his forehead was burning badly, and his heart was accelerating faster and faster.

"The average is still very low. The white man in the dress said, "Unfortunately, after all, it is an unstable resonance rate." ”

More and more phantoms appeared in front of Bai Yusheng's eyes.

The old cornices are left in the dim, and a frozen Great Wall cuts through the vast ice field......

Close your eyes, appear, open them, disappear, close your eyes again......

After that, the cold feeling of the flying snow falling on the shoulder was also very real, and when I opened my eyes, it turned into peach petals, and when I closed my eyes, it was snowflakes again.

That world, the world behind the Peach Blossom Garden?

- Plop, plop. Pounding heartbeat.

When the instrument ended, those people left, but Bai Yusheng's eyes were still blurred and tired, and those people turned into shadows in the ancient villages and towns.

Not only that, but he also heard the voices of many people talking, an ancient street, and many shadows walking.

It's like a magic moment in the night walk of a hundred ghosts, and at dusk, unknown things will appear, and you will see things that don't exist.

And then—countless images came flooding into his face, countless messages flooded into his brain, and he saw another world, and here it was......
