Chapter 315: Peach Spring
When they saw the mountain road in front of them, Yang Xuangan and the others all breathed a sigh of relief. The road is walked by people, as long as you follow the road, you can't go outside the mountain, and you can always find someone to ask for the road.
Only Li Jing felt that something was wrong in his heart, although he had never been to Sagashan, he also asked someone about the general situation of this mountain last night. Today, for the sake of hunting, they chose a hillside that is rarely visited, and it seems that there should not be such a mountain road formed by the treading of an unknown number of feet. However, suspicion is only suspicion after all, and before there is no conclusive basis, Li Jing has never said this idea in vain.
The group walked quickly to the top of the mountain road, observed both sides for a while, and quickly chose the side leading to the outside of the mountain and walked down.
The winding mountain road was surprisingly long, and the people quickened their pace and walked for a long time, estimating that the distance they had traveled was at least twice the distance into the mountain, but the mountain road still stretched zigzag into the distance, and there was no end in sight.
"Big brother, this road seems to be a little weird......" Yang Jishan said with some uneasiness.
Yang Xuangan didn't answer, turned his head and asked Li Jing, "Pharmacist, what do you think?"
At the previous moment, Li Jing had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Since you have chosen this path, you might as well go down." If the little brother's hunch is good, he should see it soon......"
Everyone didn't know why, and they didn't know what Li Jing was based on to make such a conclusion.
After hesitating, he followed the mountain road and turned a few corners, and Zhang Chuchen was the first to call out: "Look, it turns out that this road leads there!"
As she spoke, everyone could see it clearly. It turned out that at the end of this mountain road was a towering cliff that stood as steep as a wall. The shape of this cliff is quite strange, as if someone has split it with a sharp sword. In the middle was a narrow gap no more than two feet wide, and the end of the mountain road connected to this gap.
The crowd hastened their pace to the cliff. I listened to the gap for a while. An entourage said uncertainly: "Prince, the villain seems to have heard the sound of roosters and dogs barking......"
Zhang Chuchen applauded: "I also heard it, since there is the sound of chickens and dogs, there must be someone inside." Let's go inside and rest for a while, and then it's not too late to go out of the mountain after asking for the path!"
Yang Xuangan and others all agreed with what Zhang Chuchen said, and only Li Jing neither agreed nor objected.
The group immediately walked inward along the gap, which was narrow but stretched inwards for a long time. Everyone wrinkled more than 200 steps, only then did they feel that their eyes suddenly opened up, and they saw another world.
What appeared in front of everyone was a small plain surrounded by mountains and seven or eight miles in the middle. On the plains, there are thousands of vertical and horizontal fields, and the evenly separated farmland is full of crops, and farmers are scattered in the fields and sweat and work hard. At the end of the farmland, there is a small village composed of sixty or seventy families, and a group of old people sitting idly at the entrance of the village can be seen, and a group of children with drooping hair are running back and forth.
"Aren't we at Mr. Wuliu's Peach Blossom Garden?" Zhang Chuchen looked at the scene full of tranquil and warm meaning in front of him, and muttered.
Li Jing said with a smile: "The Peach Blossom Garden written by Mr. Wuliu is true. It should also be in Wuling instead of Sanyuan. ”
Everyone was talking, and the people here obviously saw their group of people, but they all seemed to be a little cowering, and only stopped what they were doing and looked at them from afar. No one dared to come forward and ask.
Yang Xuangan and the others didn't know the reality of this place for a while, and they also hesitated to stop.
For a while, both sides only looked at each other from afar. It's quite a bit of "hemp rod beats wolf, and both ends are afraid".
Right now. Suddenly, a man walked out of the village in the distance, and his steps were extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they crossed the path between the fields and came to Li Jing and the others.
Everyone looked at the person who came, and they all secretly cheered, seeing that this person was a young man in his twenties, although he was dressed in simple cloth, he was born handsome and talented.
This person approached the front and back with a smile on his face, bowed with his hands in fists, and said loudly: "Fan Zhuo has seen you. ”
Yang Xuan felt that the person who came was polite, so he also stepped forward and saluted back: "Don't dare, Yang Xuan is polite." We were lost in the mountains and stumbled into your land by mistake, which is really a bit presumptuous. Dare to ask Mr. Fan, where is this place?"
Fan Zhuo smiled and said: "This is not the place to talk, I see that you are all a little tired, so please go to the cold house to rest, a little coarse tea and light rice, how about we talk while eating?"
Yang Xuangan quietly exchanged glances with Li Jing, and when he saw that he bowed his head slightly in agreement, he also agreed: "So I will disturb Mr." ”
Fan Zhuo was overjoyed, and led everyone to the village through the field path, and along the way, the farmers in the fields and the old and young at the entrance of the village all looked at them with curiosity, whispering to each other, pointing and pointing, but no one came forward.
Seeing this scene, Fan Zhuo explained with some embarrassment: "People here rarely see outsiders, so they are all a little fussed, please forgive me." ”
Just talking to a courtyard in the middle of the village, although it is also a bamboo fence thatched house, but it is much more spacious than other people's houses, the front of the house is planted with peach and plum, and the back is planted with elm willow, which is quite quiet and elegant.
Fan Zhuo invited everyone in, Yang Xuangan ordered the eight entourages to stay outside the door, and he went to the grass hall with Li Jing, Yang Jishan, and Zhang Chuchen, and two children had already served tea. The four of them didn't know the reality of this place, so they naturally didn't dare to drink it at will, so they just pretended to touch their lips and put down the teacup.
Yang Xuangan immediately asked about the origin of this place.
Fan Zhuo sighed lightly and said, "I won't hide it from you, this time it's called Sanssouci Valley." Far away at the end of the Han Dynasty, due to frequent wars and turmoil, my ancestors were guided by an immortal to lead the clansmen and neighbors to this extremely secret valley, and they were isolated from the world and could not leave the valley. Because there is a blinding method arranged by the immortals outside the valley, it is difficult for outsiders to enter, so our people have multiplied in this valley, and after hundreds of years of carefree leisure, the name of Sanssouci Valley comes from this. ”
Yang Xuangan frowned and asked, "Since Mr. said that there is a blind method arranged by the immortals outside the valley, why did we come here without hindrance?"
Fan Zhuo smiled bitterly: "Not long ago, that immortal's blinding method somehow went wrong, and every once in a while it would lose its effectiveness for a few hours. Before you, there were quite a few people who had broken into the valley from outside......"
Li Jing opened his mouth and said: "It turns out that the tourists, woodcutters, and hunters who have disappeared recently have all arrived here. They have not returned home for a long time, but your Excellency is afraid that the outside world will know about the situation here, so you ...... them."
"Don't get me wrong, little boy!" Fan Zhuo waved his hand repeatedly, "The reason why those people didn't return is because they decided to stay after seeing the peaceful scene of my Sanssouci Valley. ”
Li Jing asked: "In this way, if we decide to leave, Your Excellency will never stop you?"
Fan Zhuo said with a smile: "That's natural, this is not the Tiger's Den Dragon Pool, how can it only be allowed to enter and not to go out?" There is only one request below, and that is to ask you not to leak out the situation here, so as not to destroy the purity that we have waited for hundreds of years." (To be continued......)
