Chapter 80: The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring
In the sixteenth year of the Yongli calendar, November 13, it was night.
Lin Shou stepped on the sword qi all the way, the speed was extremely fast, and he came to Su Province in half a day.
While calculating, the sword flew at the same time, and soon followed the weak connection with Song Yi to Wuling County.
More detailed locations are not so easy to figure out.
Therefore, Lin Shou took out the spirit turtle shell that he brought back from the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea.
A blue-green flame erupted from the palm of his hand, and the turtle shell was quickly burned.
Looking at the cracks on the turtle shell, Lin Shou pinched it into powder.
Then he flew towards the south of Wuling County with his sword light.
It took about half a column of incense to fly and flew hundreds of miles.
Lin Shou falls between a beautiful mountain forest.
After looking around a few times, I found that there were many extinguished fires here, and there were even traces of people's lives.
A rough estimate is about a few hundred people, but at the moment there is no one at all.
Lin Shou looked ahead, and a colorful peach forest appeared in front of him.
The peach forest stretched for dozens of miles all the way, and Lin Shou stepped forward to check.
Twisting together the petals of a peach blossom and rubbing them between his fingers, Lin Shou did not find anything abnormal.
"Not a trick?"
But you must know that it is already November, and although the climate in Su Province is warmer than that of Dongsheng Province, it is also time to wrap thick clothes and burn wood for warmth.
And this blooming peach blossom is the biggest anomaly.
Lin Shou lightly touched the peach tree and finally found the information.
【Peach Fairy Tree】
【Dao: Strange Things】
[Narration: The strange tree that grows on the heart of alienated compassion can extend its life span by one year after eating, and only the first fruit has this effect. 】
[Price: After eating the fruit, you will fall into endless hunger, and only a compassionate heart can resist this price.] 】
Lin Shou was surprised to find out that this peach blossom forest was actually a spiritual root.
The so-called spiritual root is a tree whose fruit has a magical effect, and this kind of spiritual root with a price is also called a different spiritual root.
"But there are so many spirit roots here?"
Lin Shou felt that something was wrong, and he released his divine sense and sank down with the peach tree.
only to find that the root system of this peach forest actually extends from one direction.
And this peach grove is actually just a tree!
Lin Shou continued to explore along the root system, but found that his divine consciousness was blocked in nothingness.
"The taproot of this peach forest is not in the mortal realm? Could it be that some third realm existence is manifested or left behind? ”
Lin Shou frowned, then withdrew his consciousness and walked leisurely into the peach forest.
The peach forest exudes a faint floral fragrance, which makes people fascinated.
There was a sneer on the corner of Lin Shou's mouth, these floral fragrances actually had a hallucinogenic effect, although they didn't work on themselves.
"It seems that these small tricks are not [myths]."
However, looking at the scale of this peach forest, Lin Shou estimated that the other party had also found the Ascending God Rank, but this alienated aura was probably a mistake in the ritual.
After walking some distance and exhausting the peach forest, Lin Shou found himself at the foot of a mountain.
There are still peach groves at the foot of the mountain, but they are much sparser than they were at the beginning.
But each peach tree is thicker, even to the point where one person can't stretch his arms together.
In Lin Shou's eyes, in addition to those peach trees, there was also a half-broken stone tablet that was close to collapse.
Lin Shou stepped forward and waved his robe, and the strong wind wiped off all the dust on the stone tablet.
Some vague words on the stele were revealed, Lin Shou frowned, the words on it were ancient, and it seemed that the age would be back thousands of years ago.
Lin Shou squatted down slightly, and only then did he see the content on the stone tablet.
"In Zhen Dayuan, the people of Wuling fished for their business. Walk around the river, forget the distance of the road. Suddenly the peach blossom ...... Hundreds of steps between the shore, and there are no miscellaneous trees,......。 ”
"The fisherman is very different, and he ,...... go forward"
“…… Since the ancestor of Yun avoided the rebellion of the evil species, he led his wife and people to this desperate situation, and did not come back, so he separated himself from outsiders ......"
"Li Changshou, a native of Nanshan Dao, and a noble scholar of Annan, heard it and went happily, met immortals, and said that he was a peach blossom fairy......"
"In troubled times, Taoists and neighbors will never return ......"
"Those who don't care about it later......"
Lin Shou looked at the intermittent text, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
……
Song Yi sat in Lao Tao's courtyard a little numbly.
Many villagers came to Lao Tao's courtyard with food.
"Village Chief, the food you ordered to prepare is ready!" A man dressed as a peasant woman said honestly.
"How many guests are there for us to prepare so much food, why haven't we seen it?" Another villager asked, with a smile on his face.
"Yes!"
"Grandpa the village chief, we also want to see what the people outside look like!" A little chubby doll, with a rattle in her hand and a red face, asked with a smile.
Song Yi couldn't laugh at this harmonious scene.
How could it be that I had walked into the pass for less than a quarter of an hour, and the direction was correct, so how could I come out the next day?
Song Yi couldn't help but shudder, this place is indeed weird!
Lao Tao smiled and took the food sent by the villagers, and then prevaricated a few words to persuade them to watch the excitement away.
Song Yi cared about his parents and fellow villagers, and they were still waiting for him to go back, so he suddenly didn't dare to be decadent anymore and stood up.
Lao Tao showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, then walked up to Song Yi and asked, "Is Dao Elder preparing to leave?" ”
Song Yi frowned, but he still nodded and said, "Old man, I have to go back, my father and fellow villagers have been waiting for me for a long time." ”
"Go back? It seems that Dao Chief, you didn't make it out yesterday, right? Lao Tao said with a smile.
Song Yi's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly asked, "Do you know Old Tao?" ”
"Huh...... Haven't any of us really tried to go out in the past few hundred years? Lao Tao said with a smile.
"What about you...... Same as me? Song Yi asked vaguely.
Lao Tao nodded and said, "Did the Dao Leader come out and come back here after entering the mountain pass?" And exactly one day has passed?"
Song Yi nodded stiffly.
Lao Tao smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that he is not an outsider from Taoyuan Village, and he can't get out after coming in." ”
"Tao Lao means...... Can't you get out? Song Yi's face was a little solemn.
Lao Tao nodded and said, "That's right, my ancestors have tried countless times, but they can't get out......"
As soon as these words came out, Song Yi was like a thunderbolt from the sky.
"Impossible, even the Netherworld has a way to leave, how can there be a place that is completely impossible to leave! The fathers and villagers of the poor road are still waiting for the poor road to take them to refuge! No way! Song Yi's eyes were bloodshot, and he grabbed Lao Tao's shoulder and shouted.
Lao Tao was on crutches, his expression did not change, and he let Song Yi's anger vent on him.
"Daoist, you better live here with peace of mind."
"The Peach Blossom Fairy will bless your ......"
