Chapter 714 The Strange Child

Peach Blossom Spring, a dangerous and magical place.This Peach Blossom Spring is not the Peach Blossom Spring written by Tao Yuanming, a great writer in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. According to textual research, the Peach Blossom Spring described by Tao Yuanming is now located in Changde-style Peach Blossom County in the north of Hunan. However, the Peach Blossom Spring in this book is one of the most dangerous places in Wulin, and it is also the most dangerous. mysterious place.It is in the north, but few people can tell its exact location.

"In April, the beauty of the world is gone, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are beginning to bloom. There is no place to look for the return of eternal regret, and I don't know where to turn." This is "Peach Blossoms in Dalin Temple" by Bai Juyi.At the end of June, the peach blossoms were already in full bloom, and the plump and attractive flowers had a unique style.

One early morning, a big white crane flew from far away. The big white crane flew high and fast. From the ground, I could only see a white spot. I don’t know if it was tired from flying, or it found something, and it suddenly let go. It slowed down and began to fall, and when it was still three or four feet away from the ground, two figures jumped up from its back and stood firmly on the ground.

"Big White Crane, thank you, you can go back!" After landing, a man among the two raised his voice.

The big white crane was a bit reluctant, raised its head to the sky and blew three times, folded its wings and landed on the ground, and rubbed its long neck against the man. The man stretched out his hand to touch the big white crane, and said in a low voice: "Big white crane, big white crane, you can go away in peace. Now, hurry up and find your master, these days, thanks to you, when you meet your master, you must thank me on my behalf."

The big white crane raised its neck and nodded, and a woman next to the man stretched out her jade hand to caress its feathers, and said softly, "Ah Hua, don't worry about us, we'll be fine."

The big white crane glanced at the two of them reluctantly, kicked its two strong and thick long legs, fluttered its wings, and flew away with a cry. The two watched it go away, and then began to look around.Here is a flat grassland, the grassland stretches far away, and I don't know where the end is.

The man was a young man with a knife on his back, but the woman was a stunning young girl who was so beautiful.These two people are none other than Fang Jianming and Bai Yiren.

Fang Jianming looked at Bai Yiren, feeling a little unbearable, and said, "Sister Yiren, do you know that I will take a huge risk when I come to Taohuayuan this time?"

Bai Yiren looked back at him, with a faint smile on his face, and said, "I know."

Fang Jianming didn't expect her to answer so easily, and sighed: "Since you know, why do you insist on coming with me?"

Bai Yiren lightly brushed her hair by the temples, lowered her eyes slightly, and said softly: "I still say the same thing, I am willing to come with you."

Fang Jianming was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a feeling of emotion welled up in his heart. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Bai Yiren suddenly raised his head and said with a sweet smile: "I heard you say that you are going to see your grandma. From your tone, your grandma seems very fierce. Could it be that she can still eat people?"

Fang Jianming was not happy when he heard her joke, but his expression became uneasy.

When Bai Yiren saw her, she hurriedly said, "It's all because I said something wrong. I shouldn't have said that about your grandma, you..."

Fang Jianming shook his head and said: "It's none of your business. The Taohuayuan is said to be extremely dangerous in the martial arts. As for the danger, no one can tell. Although I came here by appointment, I just came here to see Uncle Bai and Aunt Fang, if possible, I will ask some people some questions, I... I have never met my grandma." Speaking of this, he smiled and said: "What do I want to do so much? , anyway, people have already come, so we have to let nature take its course.”

Hearing his tone, Bai Yiren didn't want to talk about these things, so she blinked, changed the subject, and asked, "Do you think Sister Long and the others are in Shandong now?"

Fang Jianming smiled and said: "Not yet, the speed of the big white crane is much faster than that of the horse." The two said, turned and walked towards the end of the grass.

After walking forward for half an hour, I saw no one else, and the terrain changed a lot. I saw a peak in front of me, with sparse grass and mostly stones.The two walked along the peak for about six or seven miles. The scenery in front of them suddenly opened up, they heard the sound of turbulent water, the flowers and trees were sparse, and it was a thriving scene.

After walking for dozens of steps, I saw a small river appearing in front of me. I don't know where this small river came from. It was crystal clear and accompanied by bursts of peach blossom fragrance.

When the two smelled the fragrance of peach blossoms, their spirits were greatly lifted. Bai Yiren smiled happily and said, "This river water is so miraculous that it smells like peach blossoms."

Fang Jianming said happily: "If I guess correctly, the Peach Blossom Spring should not be far away." Bai Yiren walked to the river, leaned over and held two palms of the river water, the fragrance of peach blossoms was even stronger.

Fang Jianming looked left and right, but he couldn't see the way. He was wondering when he heard a burst of singing. The singing was: "I used to travel to Wuling in the past, and the moon was full of songs at midnight. The front of the silver candle tree looks like day, and the peach blossoms under the dew don't know." Autumn. Mr. Yuan’s name is Wuji, and the beauty of the southern country is named Mochou. Today’s chaos and separation are all dreams, and the sunset can only see water flowing east.” This is the Tang Dynasty poet Wei Zhuang’s "Sorrow in the Past", which is slightly sentimental.

Along with the singing, a middle-aged man in white clothes and carrying a medicine box strode forward from the mountain. He was still holding a green stick in his hand. When he saw the two of them, his face changed.Bai Yiren never expected that there would be people haunting this place, so he stood up hastily, and looked at Fang Jianming in blank dismay.

When this person came close, Fang Jianming took a step forward, bowed to him, and said: "Uncle, please take a step slowly."

The middle-aged man in white clothes seemed to have just realized his existence, stopped, looked at him, and said, "What's the matter?" Even Bai Yiren didn't bother to take a second look, as if this stunning beauty was just as vulgar in his eyes generally.

Fang Jianming asked with a smile: "Uncle, what's your name?"

The middle-aged man in white said: "Miangui, my surname is Li."

Fang Jianming said: "Excuse me, is this the Peach Blossom Spring?"

The middle-aged man in white thought for a while and said, "Seriously speaking, it's not here."

When Fang Jianming heard that there was something interesting, he hurriedly asked sincerely: "May I ask how to get to Taohuayuan?"

The middle-aged man in white looked him up and down, and said, "Young man, why are you going to Taohuayuan?"

Fang Jianming said: "I have some things to go to Taohuayuan. If uncle knows, please let me know. I will be very grateful."

The middle-aged man in white smiled "haha", pointed to the left with the stick in his hand, and said, "If you go from here, you will see a peach blossom forest within ten miles, and there is the edge of the peach blossom garden."

After finishing speaking, he walked away, and a burst of singing came out. It was Cui Hu's "Tiducheng Nanzhuang", saying: "Last year and today, in this gate, the peach blossoms on the human face are red. I don't know where the human face is going, but the peach blossom is still smiling in the spring breeze. "

Bai Yiren looked at his receding back and said, "This man is so strange."

Fang Jianming smiled and said: "There are so many strange people in the mountains, I see him walking like an arrow, with a hidden air, he must be someone with unique skills."

Bai Yiren smiled and said, "I think his attire looks like a herbalist."

Fang Jianming didn't doubt the words of the middle-aged man in white, and walked with Bai Yiren in the direction pointed by the other party. After walking for a while, he saw a winding road that stretched to nowhere. Looking at it from where Fang Jianming was just now , no matter how good your eyesight is, you will not be able to see that there is a way here.

This small path probably hadn't been used for many years, and it was covered with weeds, but it was still recognizable. After walking for about five miles, the two of them entered an alley-like place.

Bai Yiren frowned and said, "He couldn't be lying to us, could he?"

Fang Jianming also frowned, puzzled, turned a corner, and there was no way out in front of him, but a very high stone wall. It is full of unknown long grass, which makes people feel hairy. Looking up, the sky is less than two feet away.

Bai Yiren saw the high clouds on the mountain peaks on both sides and the high stone wall in front of him, so he couldn't help being a little bit annoyed, and said, "Isn't it difficult for us to take this road by the herb picker? How many people can climb such a high stone wall?" climb up?"

Fang Jianming glanced around and said, "Yiren, give me your hand."

Bai Yiren's face blushed slightly, and she handed her a hand. Fang Jianming took her hand, but felt extremely soft, and his mind was shaken.

For a moment, Fang Jianming's face was full of spirits, his eyes flashed with a strange light, he yelled "get up", he pulled Bai Yiren, and the two of them went up like swallows, the two of them rose higher and higher, It fell to the stone wall in one breath.

Fang Jianming let go of Bai Yiren's hand, glanced back, let out a long breath, and said, "Fortunately, I have deep internal energy, otherwise the two of us would have to go back." When we got to the stone wall, we saw that the stone wall was going down There is a small road, I don't know where it leads.

The two walked along the path for about five miles, and a strange fragrance of peach blossoms wafted over, which made people feel refreshed. After walking dozens of steps forward, they saw a huge peach blossom forest appearing in front of them. In front of my eyes, the pink peach blossoms are in full bloom. From a distance, they look like a sea of ​​clouds.

The two were overjoyed when they saw each other, quickened their pace, and walked towards the peach blossom forest, when they suddenly heard a sound of "Hey", a small figure shot out from the far left and rushed towards this end.

The two of them were surprised, and stood still, the person came very fast, and in a blink of an eye, they came to the front, only to see that the person who came was a little doll with a dirty face, holding a mahogany sword in his hand, his eyes rolled, and he looked at it. The two glanced at each other, thrust their left hand into their waist, and shouted like an adult, "Who is here?"

The two were stunned for a moment, Bai Yiren walked up and said with a smile: "Little brother, what's your name? What are you doing here?"

The child shouted: "Here, stand still, you haven't answered my question yet."

Bai Yiren stopped in his tracks, held back his laughter, and said, "Little brother, where's your adult?"

The child was probably angry, and said, "Quick, who are you? What are you doing here?"

Fang Jianming walked up to Bai Yiren, looked at the child carefully, but his face was too dirty, completely painted, and he couldn't see his face clearly, and said, "Little brother, don't worry, we are not bad people."

Hearing what he said, the child suddenly let out a strange laugh and said, "You are not bad people, but I am. I opened this mountain, and I planted this tree. If you want to live on from now on, you can buy road money."

The two were amazed, Fang Jianming said: "Little brother, stop making trouble, we are here to find someone."

The child said: "Looking for someone? Who are you looking for? There is no one else here except me and my parents. I have never seen you before. I think you must come here with bad intentions. Go away!"

Fang Jianming smiled and said, "What if we don't leave?"

The child said angrily, "If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Fang Jianming suddenly had a bold idea, and asked tentatively, "Is your father a middle-aged man in white with a medicine box on his back?"

The child opened a pair of bright eyes and asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

Fang Jianming pretended to sneer, and said: "Your father is so unreasonable. I humbly asked him for directions, but he pointed us to a road that almost didn't work. Where is he now? Take me to see him quickly."

Hearing this, the child suddenly burst out laughing "hehe". Fang Jianming thought he would look scared, but he didn't expect him to laugh, like falling into a fog, and Bai Yiren also felt very surprised.

After the child laughed, he raised his head and said triumphantly: "My father likes to tease people the most. You fell for his tricks. You are unlucky. I..." When I said this, I suddenly remembered something, and my eyes widened Yuan, looking at the two of them like a monster, said in surprise: "You...you really came from the road my father pointed out?"

Seeing him laughing and startling, Bai Yiren couldn't help laughing when he saw his childlike disposition, and said, "That's still fake."

The child gave a strange cry, turned around and ran, shouting as he ran: "Father, mother, it's not good, come quickly, someone broke in."

Fang Jianming flew away, and landed in front of him as fast as lightning, trying to block his way, but the child was very slippery, turned around and slipped past Fang Jianming, running faster and shouting more urgently.

"Hey, you little baby still has a lot of skills, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." Fang Jianming said, he stepped out backwards, and stretched out his hand to grab the child's back collar.

The child slashed out with a backhand sword, and said angrily: "Ghosts are afraid of you? If you block my way again, I will really be rude to you."

The kid's attack was not unpleasant, but he met Fang Jianming. Fang Jianming just dodged to the left, and before his feet landed, he firmly grasped his back collar. Seeing that he was about to draw a sword, he quickly pointed out road.

"You are so shameless, what kind of a hero is an adult bullying me and a child?" Although the child could not move, his mouth was not sealed.

Bai Yiren floated forward, heard the words, and said threateningly: "Little brother, if you swear at others indiscriminately, be careful that sister will make you dumb and make you unable to speak."

At this moment, two figures rushed towards this side, the first one was the middle-aged man in white, he let out a long howl, the howl was loud, and said: "You two are indeed extraordinary in martial arts, look at the palm !" In the blink of an eye, he approached Fang Jianming with both palms, although he didn't have palm wind, but Fang Jianming knew the opponent's cultivation level was advanced, and he wanted to test the opponent's internal strength. He greeted each other with a palm of his hand.

The two palms were connected tightly without making any sound. Soon, Fang Jianming withdrew his palms and retreated a foot away, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I have cultivated well, I admire you."
