Chapter Ninety-Four: Finding the Peach Blossom Spring
Jiang Man really knew what Jiang Yuan asked, and told Jiang Yuan where the river was.
According to what Jiang Man said, Jiang Yuan and Jiang Ling'er found the riverside.
There are a lot of rocks and weeds by the river, and there will be a few fish in the river from time to time, maybe there are too many stones, and from time to time there will be fish hitting the stones, and then quietly watching the stones for a long time, and finally hitting the stones again.
Many women, washing their clothes, went into the river to pick up fish that had hit the stones.
This place, in Gangneung-gun, is relatively remote, so the many changes that have occurred in Gangneung-gun have not affected here.
Jiang Yuan and Jiang Ling'er walked straight to the river, Jiang Yuan was very weird, was it here that Lord Jiang found himself?
"Childe, miss, are you from the city?" said an old woman, carrying a basin of clothes, and asked the two of them.
"Hmm!" Jiang Yuan nodded, "Old man, you should have been here for many years, right?" Jiang Yuan asked.
"Well, I've been here since I was born, and I'm in my fifties this year. The old woman said.
"That's great. Jiang Yuan said, "Old man, do you remember that more than ten years ago, Lord Jiang Dongxu saved a child here?"
"Remember, that's what I saw with my own eyes! Or Lord Jiang Dongxu who I went to report to! It's a pity that such a good official as Lord Jiang Dongxu was killed. The old woman said with some sadness.
"What did you see with your own eyes?" Jiang Yuan asked.
"Yes, I've lived for more than fifty years, and that's the most amazing thing I've ever seen, and I tell you, that kid is so weird. The old woman suddenly whispered to the two of them, "He appeared in the river inexplicably, there were a lot of fish that day, and he was surrounded by peach petals, and we don't have peach blossoms in Jiangling County at all, do you say it's evil?"
"It's a little wicked. Jiang Ling'er thought for a while and said, but then glanced at Jiang Yuan, and immediately covered her mouth, because that child was Jiang Yuan.
"What's even more evil is that since then, the water in this river has the taste of peach blossoms, which is extremely sweet. The old woman said.
"Really?" Jiang Ling'er was a little curious, then bent down, got some water, and tasted it, "Jiang Yuan really has the taste of peach blossoms." ”
"That's right, so based on my judgment, I think that child may be the reincarnation of the Peach Blossom God. The old woman said mysteriously.
"Poof. Jiang Ling'er couldn't help laughing, "Jiang Yuan, you turned out to be the Peach Blossom God, why didn't I see it!"
"What? You're the kid back then?"
The old woman's eyes suddenly widened, and she looked frightened, "Everyone is coming! The peach blossom god is here, the peach blossom god is here." The old woman shouted to the women who were doing the laundry around her.
"Eh!" Jiang Yuan and Jiang Ling'er were stunned at the same time, and suddenly the women who were doing the laundry all ran over and knelt in front of Jiang Yuan.
"Peach Blossom God, please grant us wealth and prosperity!" The women prayed to Jiang Yuan one by one, as if they regarded Jiang Yuan as an omnipotent god.
"You misunderstood, I'm that kid, but I'm not God. Jiang Yuan said to the women, "I can't even do what I want to do, how can I help you do what you want to do?"
"Lord Peach Blossom God, you must not have recovered your divine power yet!" said the old woman, "When Lord Peach Blossom God recovers his divine power, it will not be too late to help me." ”
Looking at the pious eyes of the women, Jiang Yuan knew that it was useless to explain at the moment, these people had been staying in remote places and did not have a deep understanding of some things, but sometimes people like them could live very happily.
"Old man, I want to ask you, where did I appear in the river at that time?" Jiang Yuan asked the old woman.
"That's right there, in the middle of the river, where the Peach Blossom God suddenly appeared. The old woman hurriedly replied, afraid that she would snub Jiang Yuan.
"Okay!" Jiang Yuan looked at the middle of the river, and the magic wings instantly unleashed and flew towards the middle of the river, which frightened the women, they had not seen anyone who could fly! This made them even more sure that Jiang Yuan was the Peach Blossom God.
Jiang Yuan flew to the middle of the river and observed, and even the Yin Yang Eye of the Heavenly Heavens was cast, but he didn't find anything.
The Peach Blossom Land is a hidden place, and the entrance to each hidden place is extremely difficult to find, with great magical powers as a barrier, even if the entrance is in front of you, ordinary people can't see it.
Of course, it is difficult for cultivators to see it, but Jiang Yuan has yin and yang eyes that reach the sky, and he has nothing to gain, which is a bit magical.
Returning to the original place, Jiang Yuan's face was solemn, looking at Xiaohe, at a loss, "Old man, do you know, where are the peach blossoms?" Jiang Yuan asked the old woman.
"This .........," the old woman hesitated, "when I was a child, I heard the elders say that in the upper reaches of the river, about thousands of miles away, there is a peach blossom forest. ”
"Thousands of miles away?" Jiang Yuan muttered, and then said to the old woman, "Thank you, old man." ”
Pulling Jiang Ling'er and heading towards the river's parade.
"Jiang Yuan, let's go buy two horses! Thousands of miles away, we can only reach it after walking for half a month. Jiang Ling'er said to Jiang Yuan.
"No, I'm observing along the road, if you ride a horse, it's going to get in the way. Jiang Yuan directly rejected Jiang Ling'er's proposal, "If Ling'er can't walk, you can go back to Jiangling City and wait for me." ”
"No, I'm going to be with you all the time. Jiang Ling'er stepped forward and hugged Jiang Yuan's arm and said.
"Well, I'll be with you all the time. So the two of them walked up the river, and after walking for a few days, Jiang Yuan and Jiang Ling'er found that the river was getting bigger and wider.
The two of them walked for twenty days before they reached the source of the river.
It was a big mountain, a big mountain that stretched for dozens of miles, but the mountain was bare, and the water flowed out from the inside of the mountain.
The top of the mountain was full of dead peach trees, and looking at the dead peach trees all over the mountain, Jiang Yuan was a little stunned.
Yes, peach trees, peach trees, peach trees all over the mountains, but they are all dead trees, which is exactly the same as the scene of the peach blossom spring.
Jiang Yuan walked in the peach grove in a distracted manner, the flashy peach blossoms were gone, everything was gone.
"Jiang Yuan has a poem here. Ling'er suddenly saw a poem carved on a big stone and shouted at Jiang Yuan.
"The wild peach blossoms cast a fairyland, and the jealousy ended overnight. Everyone only knows that the peach blossoms fall, but they don't know that the blood in the flowers is a river. Jiang Yuan walked over and said softly.
"What does this mean?" Jiang Ling'er asked puzzled.
"When the Peach Blossom Garden was destroyed, all the peach blossoms died, and the people of the Peach Blossom Garden were killed. Jiang Yuan said with a sad expression.
"Huh!" Jiang Ling'er was stunned, seeing Jiang Yuan's sad appearance, she didn't know how to comfort her for a while.
After a while, Jiang Yuan recovered from his sadness and walked towards the depths of the Peach Blossom Forest, he knew that this was not the Peach Blossom Spring, it could only be said to be the outside of the Peach Blossom Garden, and Jiang Ling'er was quietly following behind Jiang Yuan.
As Jiang Yuan walked, he cast the Tongtian Yin-Yang Eye, and the moment he cast the Tongtian Yin-Yang Eye, everything around him changed.
In Jiang Yuan's eyes, the peach trees were moving, and they slowly got out of the way, and a road appeared that ordinary people couldn't see at all.
Jiang Ling'er couldn't see this way, and Jiang Ling'er, who was following Jiang Yuan, couldn't help but step forward and grab Jiang Yuan's hand, because she felt that even if she was one step behind Jiang Yuan, she would no longer be able to keep up.
As they walked forward, the surrounding scene changed greater, and the peach grove slowly decreased, and an endless ocean appeared in front of the two of them.
The Peach Blossom Spring, arrived, after more than eleven years, Jiang Yuan finally found the Peach Blossom Source that he had been thinking about in his heart, but there were no more peach blossoms in the Peach Blossom Spring, only Wang Yang.
"Jiang Yuan, is this the Peach Blossom Spring?" Jiang Ling'er wondered.
"It's here. Jiang Yuan nodded.
"But why is there no peach tree?" Jiang Ling'er wondered, even if the peach blossoms are gone, the peach tree will still exist!
"The peach trees became this ocean. Jiang Yuan replied, at this moment, Jiang Yuan suddenly hoped that the peach blossom source would restore the peach blossoms that had been in the mountains and fields, but it would never be restored.
Jiang Yuan cast his magic wings, picked up Jiang Ling'er, and flew in one direction.
That was the direction of Peach Blossom Village, Jiang Yuan remembered, Peach Blossom Village was not flooded, the two of them flew for a while, and sure enough, in a place in the ocean, there was a vacant land that was still a little like a dilapidated house.
Jiang Yuan rushed down in an instant, looking at the house in front of him, Jiang Yuan's heart was very sad and missing.
Most of the house had collapsed, and in the dirt there were dry bones that were about to be covered in the dirt.
Jiang Yuan looked at these dry bones, he couldn't hold back any longer, and tears flowed out instantly.
The owners of these dry bones are the villagers of Peach Blossom Village, in Jiang Yuan's memory, these villagers are all simple and kind, although they always go to Jiang Chen to complain, but they usually take care of Jiang Yuan.
Puff ............
Jiang Yuan knelt on his knees and kowtowed a few times to the dry bones, and then Jiang Yuan stood up and found a shovel from a room.
Jiang Yuan began to dig pits in front of each house, and Jiang Yuan could not let the people of Peach Blossom Village expose the corpses to the wilderness.
Jiang Yuan was digging a pit, and Jiang Ling'er also found a shovel and began to help Jiang Yuan.
There are a total of nineteen households in Taohua Village, with a total of forty-six people, of course, excluding Jiang Yuan.
After digging a pit, Jiang Yuan found a corpse, buried it, and then erected a monument.
Of course, it is impossible to tell who it is through the bones of Jiang Yuan, so the name is not written on each stele.
Jiang Yuan dug the pit for three days before burying the bones, but Jiang Yuan found that the bones of four people were missing, which should be in the water, and Jiang Yuan's bones were not found.
