Chapter 55: The Gate of Heaven
Changde, Hunan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Taoyuan Airport.
Because it is the off-season for tourism, the sky is still drifting with a trace of cold rain, and the airport is a little deserted. A taxi driver in his thirties sat in his car, staring boredly at the airport exit opposite. Another group of people came out, and almost immediately a few people who picked up the station met them, and took them away with a spring breeze on their faces, and the crowd dispersed in a hurry, leaving only a pair of boys and girls of sixteen or seventeen years old. The boy combed the girl's messy hair on her forehead with his hand, tightened the placket, said something to her, and then looked left and right, looking around.
At first glance, it is a newcomer, and I don't know whether it is a tourist or a relative. The girl looked pure and abnormal, but her body was delicate and weak, and the young man seemed to be afraid that she would be caught in the rain, so he turned around and carefully buttoned the hat of her trench coat, and the girl looked like a little bird, and walked out with him tightly. The middle-aged driver quickly started the car, drove past the two of them before the other two cars, lowered the window, and asked in a non-standard Mandarin: "Where is the little brother going, do you want to take a taxi?"
The boy glanced at him, turned to look at the girl, and the girl nodded to the boy. Seeing this, the driver happily opened the rear door and let the two of them get into the car.
"Master, go to Yiwangxi. The boy said.
"Oh, that's not close. Coming for a tour?" asked the driver, leaning on the steering wheel.
Before the boy could reply, he heard the girl say, "We want to go to the area of Yiwangxi that is free of charge." ”
"Yiwangxi is our 'little Guilin' here, tourism, or the charging area is good, and the tickets are not expensive. "The driver was very helpful in making introductions.
"We don't tourist. ”
"Oh, vote for relatives?"
"Not really. ”
"That's?"
"Fishing. ”
The girl thought to herself, we have to say that we are here to find the Peach Blossom Spring, you must take us to the Taoyuan Town and other scenic spots, but who doesn't know that the scenic spots are built by modern people to attract tourists to spend money, borrow a little bit of the name of the Peach Blossom Spring, where will it be the real Peach Blossom Spring? There were three streams here, and Yiwang Creek was the largest and the deepest, so they decided to try their luck there.
No need to ask, this pair of boys and girls is Su Yu and Xu Qingluo.
A "Tale of the Peach Blossom Spring" makes the Peach Blossom Land a legendary place that is difficult to find. Tao Yuanming's words are unknown, only the word Wuling is written where Taoyuan is, there are Wuling County and Wuling County in the Jin Dynasty, the two are not the same place at all, but the Jin people mentioned Wuling, it is estimated that it is unlikely to refer to a county, there are so many small towns and small counties, Tao Da poet may not know the existence of Wuling County, if he knows, in the case of knowing that the two places are very ambiguous, it is impossible to write only one Wuling so-so, resulting in no distinction between counties and counties.
Therefore, Xu Qingluo estimated that Tao Yuanming's Wuling should be Wuling County, but Wuling County in the Jin Dynasty also had several counties, and it was also difficult to determine the entrance to Taoyuan. The seat of Wuling County is now Changde, Hunan Province, so Changde is based on the origin of peach blossoms, but Chongqing Youyang is also under the rule of Wuling County, and the big Youdong in its territory is very similar to the description of "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", and it also claims to be the real peach blossom source. The rest of the people who claim to be the Peach Blossom Source also have their own evidence, and they are fighting for red faces and red ears, and they can't get along.
The two finally decided to come to Changde to have a look. If the Peach Blossom Paradise is a small star boundary, then the description in "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" should be the inside of the star boundary, no matter how much the external landscape is like and the peach source has nothing to do with it, not to mention that there are so many man-made landscapes and tourist resorts nowadays. Therefore, the two of them did not care about all the attractions related to Taoyuan, they just wanted to trace an ancient Wuling fishing road and take a look at the "edge stream" first.
In the final analysis, there is very little hope for this road, I don't know if the Peach Blossom Spring exists, I don't know where it is, I don't know if I can enter, I don't know what will happen after entering. Xu Qingluo doesn't know how long she can last, maybe she will be like Liu Ziji in Nanyang, dying on the way to find the Peach Blossom Spring. If he didn't tell him a way to save himself, he would only fall into endless sadness and even madness, but in these last days, she just wanted to accompany him happily and happily, and walk between the mountains and rivers with him.
Knowing the news of the possible existence of the Peach Blossom Spring, Su Yu took Xu Qingluo to the airport overnight, bought a plane ticket, Xu Qingluo slept in Su Yu's arms for half the night, and then the two set off by plane.
Thankfully, there are no enemies watching for the time being. If that strange strong enemy is still there, with Xu Qingluo's current appearance, there is absolutely no power to resist. When she first fell into Nanke's illusion crossover attack, she suspected that the enemy was borrowing the power of the crystal circle, so she swept away two crystals in order to destroy the circle. At that time, she only felt that the illusion was both real and false, and she was not sure if the circle had really been destroyed. It wasn't until last night's wedding, rummaging through her dresses in her storage space, that she found the two hedrons mixed in her miscellaneous items.
It was an unexpected surprise. That cross-border blow is real, and the destruction of the magic circle is also true, otherwise the enemy should have done it a long time ago, before finding a new crystal to replenish the magic circle, it is probably difficult for the enemy to threaten him, and the crystal with such a large size and sufficient energy is obviously not easy to find. Although many things have not yet been figured out, such as who the girl who is exactly like herself, why she has to do everything possible to target herself, and how she knows herself well, Xu Qingluo is already content, at least she can have a quiet time with Su Yu.
However, the quiet time is always too short, and the rats are driven away and the bed bugs come again. As early as when she was in the hotel, Su Yu reminded her, "It seems that someone is following us", and when she arrived at the airport, Xu Qingluo did vaguely feel that there was a gaze on them. After getting off the plane and getting into the taxi, this gaze quickly reappeared. But before she squeaked, she heard Su Yu say to the driver: "Get rid of the car behind, it follows us." ”
He felt it too.
The driver was stunned for a moment: "You two didn't cause anything, did you?"
"No," Xu Qingluo took over and said, "There is a guy in the car, who chases after me because he looks good, but I obviously have a boyfriend." ”
"I see. Well said, but I'll have to take a detour. ”
The driver picked up speed a little and began to go around a small village and town, deliberately running around a few circles before plunging headlong into a remote road.
Su Yu stiffened his face and didn't speak, sometimes looking at the back, sometimes looking ahead. Not only was he wary of the guy who was in hot pursuit, but he was also not very reassuring about the strange driver. People and land are unfamiliar, and it is a deserted path, so you can't be defenseless.
Xu Qingluo was very good, showing a careless appearance, holding Su Yu with one arm, resting her head on his shoulder, and holding an ancient wooden flute in the other hand, looking left and right there.
That's Nan Kedi. She had always wondered what the real power of this flute was. It is by no means just creating illusions, because its illusions are facing real space, and if you can use it to cross borders and bring back the spars, then it is not an illusion ability but a spatial ability. You must know that the spiritual treasures with spatial ability are extremely rare, each of them is unique and powerful, why does the Pang family of Baidi only use its illusion to trap the enemy?
She was thinking about it, but she felt the car jolt violently and stopped, Su Yu instinctively turned to one side, firmly protected her behind her, and asked the driver, "Master, why don't you leave?"
Outside the car, the mountains are desolate, and the mountains are rocky. It's a dead end.
The driver didn't answer, he got out of the car directly, opened the rear door, and stretched in a bright knife, and at the moment when the door opened, Su Yu directly leaned back and kicked in the air, hitting the driver's wrist, and the knife immediately fell to the ground. The driver also reacted quickly, kicked the knife away, and at the same time slammed the car door, locked Su Yu, who was about to rush out of the car, inside, and then turned around and ran to pick up the knife. Su Yu pushed open the door and was about to pull Xu Qingluo down, but was stopped in front of the knife-wielding driver.
"Don't move!" the driver gritted his teeth and looked hideous, "Believe it or not, I slaughtered both of you?"
Su Yu asked with a cold face, "What do you want to do?"
"I just got divorced a while ago, and I'm in a bad mood and want to play with this girl. The driver sneered twice, "The little hairy child is very bold, and such a greedy girl dares to run away with it, don't blame the uncle for teaching you a lesson." Come down!"
Xu Qingluo sat in the car, holding a wooden flute in her hand, looking at the two of them with unchanged expressions.
Su Yu stared at the driver fiercely, but his hands and feet didn't move at all, he was thinking of a way, he didn't want Xu Qingluo to face the enemy directly. At this time, Xu Qingluo's little hand reached out from behind and gently held his hand: "Go down, be careful." ”
Care must be taken. If you want a woman, no one will let an intact enemy watch from the sidelines. This means that no matter what, he has to face a fight, and he can't let go of his hands and feet in the car.
He stared warily at the driver, moving a little under the car. One foot touched the ground, and as soon as the other foot was stretched out, the driver rushed forward, brandished a dagger, and stabbed himself. At that moment, the whistle behind him flickered, the driver's eyes fluttered and his movements were obviously slow, Su Yu seized the opportunity to jump out of the car quickly, grabbed the knife from his wrist, dodged and progressed, and a standard "little hand return" threw the driver to the ground, and the blade quickly resisted the opponent's neck with cold air.
After learning Aikido for so long, he didn't know what to do with it for the first time in actual combat, so he asked the car, "What should I do?"
Xu Qingluo did not answer. The flute sounded only for a short time. The girl stepped out of the car and looked up at the gloomy lead-gray sky in a daze.
The sound of the flute was like knocking on the door of heaven, and she heard the voice of a strange maiden, which sounded a little cold and solemn, but it seemed to come from her own mouth: "What is that flute?...... Strangely, she seemed to sense me. ”
