Chapter 2: The Fall of Flowers
In the middle of the night, Jiang Yuan faced a large stone tablet, in the past, he would shake his head every time, confused, after all, this time is the golden time for sleep.
Today is different, Jiang Yuan is very energetic, he stared at the big stone tablet, staring closely, but he was not thinking, but thinking about the doubts he encountered when he stepped out of the boundary today.
As everyone knows, the sky at this time was extremely gloomy, and dark clouds had covered the sky at some point, but Jiang Yuan, who was concentrating on thinking about things, did not notice this change.
The drizzle like cow hair fell from the sky, and the peach blossoms in the peach blossom garden enjoyed the moisture of the drizzle.
It's just that the wind slowly rose, a very strong wind, and the wind blew down the peach blossoms that had been enjoying the drizzle.
One, two......... and even the peach blossoms of the entire peach blossom source.
With the wind, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and I don't care about the delicate and beautiful peach blossoms at all.
Countless figures appeared in Peach Blossom Village with the storm, these people, holding swords, cut people when they saw them, and killed people when they saw them.
There was a bloody rain, Jiang Chen looked at the figure in front of him who was slaughtering the villagers, his figure moved, and he directly knocked several figures away.
"Jiang Chen, hand over the things, I can leave a glimmer of life for Peach Blossom Village. An old man as old as Jiang Chen appeared, but this old man was very special, he was surrounded by a faint golden light, which kept the torrential rain out, and the clothes on his body were not soaked by the rain at all.
"You've already stepped into the realm, no wonder you can come to the Peach Blossom Spring. Jiang Chen was very calm, as if he had known that this old man would come.
"Jiang Chen, do you know how I stepped into the realm?" the old man was very proud, his face was comparable to a chrysanthemum at this moment, "Because I entered the secular world, and the vitality of the secular world is much more abundant than ours in the secluded world." ”
"You actually broke the taboo, aren't you afraid of punishment?" Jiang Chen's face was shocked.
"What taboos? It's all a lie, our hermit tribe has a talent beyond the world, why should we stay in such a small place for generations. The old man said.
"The ancestors said that as long as the vitality is restored, it will be the time for us to leave the hidden land. Jiang Chen said.
"When will the vitality be revived? This is just the idea of the ancestors who deceived themselves. The old man scoffed.
"You actually disobey your ancestors?" Jiang Chen was a little angry.
"Not only will I disobey them, but I will prove them wrong. The old man said, and then a golden light appeared in front of the old man, and the golden light changed rapidly, and it magically turned into one short sword after another.
With a wave of the old man's hand, the short sword shot towards Jiang Chen.
A layer of pale green light appeared on Jiang Chen's body, so many short swords, stabbing over, if he didn't resist, he would either turn into a sieve or a hedgehog.
At the moment when those short swords touched Jiang Chen, a wooden shield appeared in front of Jiang Chen.
Bang bang......... Bang.........
The short sword was stabbed on the wooden shield, the wooden shield turned into a hedgehog, and Jiang Chen's hand moved, and the wooden shield and the short sword disappeared.
"In the hidden world, the first person at the peak of martial arts, the name is well deserved, if I don't set foot in the realm, I will never dare to come to your peach blossom source. The old man said.
Then his figure moved, and he fought fiercely with Jiang Chen, and in the storm, a golden light and a green light collided with each other.
In front of the big stele, Jiang Yuan had already been woken up by the rain, and at this moment he was holding the foot of the big stele tightly, because the wind was too strong and could blow him away.
"Grandpa, hurry up and save me. Jiang Yuan's voice was full of fear, such a heavy rain, such a strong wind, he grew so big, it was the first time he had seen it.
He felt that the wind, the rain, could kill him. After all, he was still young, and when he thought that he might die, he couldn't help but be afraid, and then cried.
At this moment, there are no peach blossoms in the Peach Blossom Spring, and the Peach Blossom Village is slowly annihilated by the rain, and the two old men stand on the roofs of the two relatively high rooms.
"Jiang Chen, you've already lost, give me that thing. One of the old men said.
"That's a taboo, even if the peach blossoms are scattered and the tribe is destroyed, I Jiang Chen won't give it to you, haha........." Jiang Chen smiled, he looked up to the sky and smiled, but this was not a happy laugh, but sadness.
The Peach Blossom Source is gone, the Peach Blossom Village is gone, and Jiang Chen's hidden tribe is gone.
Taboo, Jiang Chen was puzzled at this moment, the taboo that the ancestors said was nothing more than punishment, but no matter how serious the punishment was, it was nothing more than extermination.
None of the people in Peach Blossom Village violated the taboo, so why was they punished so cruelly?
On the other hand, the old man in front of him, he broke the taboo, but he didn't do anything, and he reached the realm of his dreams.
Jiang Chen couldn't figure it out, he could only understand that the punishment had not yet arrived!
"Then you will die with the so-called taboo!" The old man glanced at Jiang Chen, and a huge golden long sword appeared above Jiang Chen's head.
Rumble............
The golden long sword pierced through Jiang Chen's body, and Jiang Chen's body did not overflow with blood, but became emerald green, and slowly, slowly, Jiang Chen turned into a peach blossom tree.
At this moment, the wind and rain stopped, the sky became clear, the sun rose from behind the mountain, and the peach blossoms that were originally all over the field turned into a huge ocean.
In the ocean, there is a peach blossom tree, which is the last peach blossom left in the peach blossom source.
The old man looked at the peach blossoms, not knowing what he was thinking, and then two figures appeared in front of the old man.
The two figures are a man and a woman, the man is very petite, and his eyes give people a feminine feeling, the woman is normal, but it reveals charm everywhere.
"Got something?" the woman asked the old man.
"No, Jiang Chen would rather die than give. The old man replied.
"It's all old and stubborn, we have already got three pieces, and we don't care about the Peach Blossom Spring. The man's voice was very girly, and in this sentence, he pinched his orchid finger twice.
"Yes, let's go!" the woman said, turning to leave, and the man saw the woman leave and chased after her.
The two of them left, but it gave people a feeling like they were leaving in the wind and rain.
The wind stopped, the rain stopped, Jiang Yuan was like a chicken in soup, he thought he would die in the wind and rain, but he didn't expect it.
Grunt......... Grunt.........
Jiang Yuan touched his stomach, he was a little hungry, it was time to go back, but he found that everything he was familiar with was gone, only a huge lake.
"Grandpa........." Jiang Yuan was a little anxious, he knocked his head hard, and the pain made him know that this was not a dream.
He had the same dream before, dreaming that there were no peach blossoms in the Peach Blossom Garden, and he could go outside to find his parents at will. But at this moment, he found that he still hoped for peach blossoms.
He searched everywhere, along the perimeter of the lake, frantically searching, but he couldn't find even a single peach petal.
"Grandpa...... Grandpa........." He cried out hoarsely, but no one answered him except his own reply.
Suddenly Jiang Yuan saw a corpse, Jiang Yuan hurriedly ran over, he was a little afraid of the corpse, but when he saw who the corpse was, his face changed, the corpse was a villager from Peach Blossom Village.
This made Jiang Yuan even more anxious, like adding fuel to the fire, he had no strength anymore, but he ran faster than before.
"Grandpa...... Grandpa, where are you?"
Looking for it, but nothing was found except the corpse, Jiang Yuan sat on the ground, crying, his eyes were already red and swollen, this day was probably the day he had shed the most tears so far.
"There are fish that have slipped through the net. When Jiang Yuan was most helpless, a figure appeared, with a gray beard and gray hair, it was the old man who was fighting Jiang Chen.
"Who are you?" Jiang Yuan's voice was small.
"Strange. The old man's brow furrowed.
"Who are you?" Jiang Yuan ignored the old man's doubts and asked, there are not many villagers in Peach Blossom Village, nineteen households, a total of forty-six people, Jiang Yuan knows them all, but he has never seen the old man in front of him.
"Children, at such a young age, they have already broken away from the mortal womb, and they have a good talent. The old man said.
"Who the hell are you, why haven't I seen you in Peach Blossom Village?" Jiang Yuan asked again, as for what was out of the mortal womb, Jiang Yuan didn't understand at all.
"I'm here to find something, and by the way, to destroy this stubborn and unenterprising place. As he spoke, the old man walked towards Jiang Yuan.
When Jiang Yuan heard the old man's words, his little face turned white with fright, and he couldn't help but retreat, "You ruined the Peach Blossom Garden and killed the villagers?"
"So to speak. The old man nodded, "It's a pity, if you weren't from the Peach Blossom Garden, I would really like to take you as an apprentice." ”
When Jiang Yuan heard the old man's words, his backward steps stopped, and he clenched his fists, "You killed the villagers and ruined the Peach Blossom Spring, I fought with you." ”
Jiang Yuan suddenly rushed towards the old man, the old man's eyes moved, and he whispered, "Cutting grass does not remove roots, the spring breeze blows and grows." ”
A golden short sword instantly stabbed at Jiang Yuan, who was rushing towards him.
Poof......
With the sound of metal piercing the flesh, Jiang Yuan, who was rushing forward, stopped, and looked at the blood hole in his chest in a daze.
To die, this is Jiang Yuan's idea, it hurts a little, but it's not very painful.
The old man walked in front of Jiang Yuan, pushed Jiang Yuan with his hand, Jiang Yuan flew up, and finally fell into the lake.
"It's a pity that I cut all the peach blossoms all over the field, but I didn't reach my goal. The old man said to himself, and then turned into an afterimage and left.
Jiang Yuan slowly sank into the lake, the lake was not deep, and soon it was over, the cold lake water soaked Jiang Yuan's body, and the blood in his chest continued to flow out.
At this moment, Jiang Yuan's mind was blank, he wanted to sleep, and he slowly closed his eyes.
Peach blossoms, the only remaining peach blossoms in the peach blossom source, the peach blossom tree that Jiang Chen transformed, lit up, and the petals fell one after another, falling into the lake, forming a flower dragon and swimming towards Jiang Yuan.
Quickly wrapped Jiang Yuan, and then the petals disappeared with Jiang Yuan.
There are no more peach blossoms in the Peach Blossom Spring, and the last peach blossoms have fallen, and the only thing left is one side of the ocean.
It's a paradise where people follow the rules and don't touch taboos, so why is there such a cruel punishment?
Perhaps, someone has already violated the taboo............
