Fantasy Three Kingdoms: Four knots in Taoyuan at the beginning

Chen Yuan looked at the others, except for Sha Zhong, the others all looked serious.Obviously they also saw that scene just now.

It was precisely because they saw the scene just now that they felt that the place was terrible.

Because being able to confuse first-rank powerhouses, even temporarily, is quite remarkable.

Especially Zhou Tai leaned towards Chen Yuan calmly.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan didn't say anything.

Although Chen Yuan was already a third-rank cultivation base, he had better be careful in this place at that time.

Zhao Yun sent a voice transmission to Chen Yuan: "Military Master, what should we do?"

Chen Yuan thought for a while: "Don't be impatient, just wait and see what happens."

Chen Yuan believed that even if this place was really the soul place of the so-called reincarnators, with so many masters around, they would still be able to withdraw safely.So, don't be in a hurry, let's take a look at the reality of this place for a while.

Moreover, Chen Yuan suddenly remembered a guess about Taohuayuan that he read in his previous life.

According to the imagination of netizens, it is said that this Taohuayuan is actually a big tomb. The village recorded is actually a village of dead people. The people in it are all dead people, but because of special reasons, the souls of these people have been preserved and imprisoned. In the Peach Blossom Spring.

As long as they can find a substitute, they can be reincarnated and start a new life.

There is much evidence for this statement.

First of all, as a local fisherman fishing in the river, he must be quite familiar with the nearby waters, and it is absolutely impossible to get lost.

However, the fisherman got lost.

This shows a problem, Taohuayuan must get lost to enter, and it is impossible to find it under normal circumstances.

There is a mysterious saying in Chinese folk that "ghosts hit the wall", that is, even if you are familiar with this road, once the phenomenon of "ghosts hit the wall" occurs, you will inevitably fall into endless loss.So judging from the fisherman's performance, he must have encountered this phenomenon.

Secondly, according to folklore, peach trees have the function of warding off evil spirits, and this kind of belief is also prevalent in rural China today.In ancient times, peach blossoms were often used to separate the yin and yang worlds, and they could be used to calm the souls and prevent them from entering the world to cause chaos.

In addition, peach blossoms generally fall in early April, which coincides with China's Qingming Festival.

At this time, the yin energy in the world is the heaviest, people will worship their ancestors, and the spirits will come out at this time.Isn't the flying paper money very similar to the falling peach blossoms?
Even if ordinary mass graves are protected by peach blossom forests, they will not have such a large scale as described in the article.Because the power of peach trees is not small, it is often enough to plant a circle.But the peach blossom grove in "Peach Blossom Spring" is extremely large in scale. What does this mean?
It shows that this Taohuayuan must be a large tomb, and the number of repressed souls is not only large, but the quality is absolutely extraordinary.

Then she left the boat and entered from the mouth.At the beginning, you are extremely narrow, and you are able to understand people.Go back dozens of steps, suddenly see the light.This seems to be the style of the tomb passage of the tomb.

The land is flat and spacious, and the houses are like fertile fields, beautiful ponds, and mulberry bamboos.

Generally speaking, in ancient times, only big cities could be built in an orderly manner, and small villages were often scattered and mixed according to the terrain, like a maze, and there was no such thing as a "house-like" situation.However, the ancients paid much attention to the construction of tombs, and had more and stricter rules.

Therefore, this also proves that this Taohuayuan is actually a large tomb.

The word "Qian" was not only used to refer to the field path in ancient times, but also often used to indicate the meaning of the tomb path.

Men and women dress like outsiders.Ziyun's ancestors avoided the chaos of the Qin Dynasty, and led his wife Yiren to this desperate situation, and did not return, so he separated himself from outsiders.When asked what the world is today, I don't know that there is Han, regardless of Wei and Jin.

The people in Taohuayuan said that their ancestors came here to avoid the chaos of war in the Qin Dynasty, and they never went out again, and they didn't know that there was a change of dynasty.It has been nearly 500 years from the Qin Dynasty to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Even if it is not the same as it is now, different clothes will be popular every year, but the difference in clothing will inevitably be great in hundreds of years.However, it is not unusual for people in Taohuayuan to dress the same as people outside.Some say the only possible explanation is that the clothes they wore were burnt to them by later generations.

But this is a huge mistake.

Because it has been said later, "Lead your wife and eunuchs to this desperate situation, and you will not come back." Since you have brought your wife and children in, how can there be descendants outside?
Therefore, their clothes will either change with the entry of outsiders, or hide a terrible truth, that is, fishermen are just bait, and they will attract outsiders at regular intervals, and these people After death, they are freed from this wandering state to be reincarnated.

And the remaining group of souls inherited their stories, waiting for the arrival of the next group of people.So they just told the fisherman an initial story.

In addition, in 500 years, they did not come out of the Peach Blossom Land. If they are really human, they will inevitably reproduce.

However, a group of hundreds of people may have been a big family, even if it was not a big family, after hundreds of years of intermarriage and birth, it is inevitable that close relatives will marry.

We all know the consequences of close relatives getting married, but they didn't show any abnormal behavior, which shows that they are not human at all.

Then I want to return home, set up wine and kill chickens for food.The rest of the people went back to their homes, and all went out to drink and eat.

People in Taohuayuan entertain fishermen with wine and chickens. This description is very interesting. There are constant wars outside and the living conditions are extremely difficult.In Taohuayuan, every family lives and works in peace and contentment, with wine and meat.

The ancients attached great importance to offering sacrifices to ancestors. In order to seek the blessings of their ancestors, they often used the best food as tribute.This is why people in Taohuayuan have so much food and drink.

It also shows that they should be the later martyrs, not the first Qin people who entered Taohuayuan.It also shows that during those days when the fisherman was in Taohuayuan, what he ate was actually a sacrifice.

As for sacrifices, strangers cannot eat them casually.

It must be offered to the ancestors first, and then their descendants can eat it.

And outsiders are absolutely not allowed to eat other people's sacrifices, which is a serious taboo.

Stop for a few days and resign.Once you get out and get your boat, you will help you to the road, aiming for it everywhere.And the county, the prefect, said so.

First of all, for fishermen who have lived outside for a long time, they will not be ignorant of the dire situation of the people outside.That being the case, why did he insist on leaving such a beautiful world as Taohuayuan instead of waiting?There are two explanations.

One is that the fisherman still has his relatives outside.The second is that the fisherman has discovered the secret here after living in the Peach Blossom Spring for many days, so he dare not stay any longer.

If it's the former, then it's justifiable.Such a good place, fishermen will definitely want to bring their loved ones here.

It's a pity that he didn't go home after going out, but went straight to the prefect's mansion, which directly ruled out this possibility.

If it is the latter, then it is easy to understand.

Some people interpreted reporting it to the prefect as he wanted to get a reward for it, but the fisherman fished every day and had to deal with the official tax collectors for more than one day.

Discovering a small village may bring some tax money to the prefect, but what reward can he get?

So the reason to report to the prefect was actually because he already suspected that this might be a ghost village, so he hurriedly reported to the prefect.

In addition, fishermen can come and go freely from the Taohuayuan, but as for the people inside, for 500 years, no one wants to come out, which is completely unreasonable.

For those young people and children, it is not difficult for them to discover this cave, but what is the reason why they still haven't come out?
Perhaps the "Funeral Sutra" has given us a very reasonable explanation.Guo Pu once wrote in his annotations to the "Funeral Sutra": The peach mulberry in front of the door is a sign of great evil.And outside the peach blossom source, there are peaches and mulberries inside,

It is exactly this statement.So it's not that the people inside didn't discover the existence of the cave, but that they were frightened by the peach blossom forest outside the cave and couldn't get out at all.

To sum up, what the fisherman entered should be a country of the dead, but the people in Taohuayuan have forgotten their own lives after death, so they just inherited the obsession of the first batch of Qin people, and batch after batch told the story of the beginning. of that story.

Then attract outsiders so they can be reincarnated.

Therefore, the fisherman is actually just a bait, and the ghost in the Taohuayuan warned him that he was "not humane enough" in fact, it was just trying to get him, because after many days of understanding, they already understood the weakness of the fisherman, so through his mouth, put this Bizarre stories are spread, and then outsiders are tricked into killing them.

This can also explain why Liu Ziji died shortly after searching for the Peach Blossom Spring. It was because his soul had already entered the Peach Blossom Spring and became a substitute.

Chen Yuan recalled these conjectures about the truth of the Peach Blossom Spring, combined with the evil things he had encountered in front of him, Chen Yuan couldn't help mentioning them in his heart.

At this time, suddenly an old man with long beard holding a dove stick walked up to Chen Yuan.

The old man looked at Chen Yuan in astonishment, and said, "May I ask who is the visitor and how did he get here?"

Chen Yuan looked at the hidden joy in the old man's eyes, sneered secretly in his heart, pretended, continued to pretend, how did he get here, didn't you attract me?
However, even though Chen Yuan knew that the old man who looked like a fairy in front of him was a ghost, he absolutely couldn't expose him, otherwise he might not be able to get out of this ancient mahogany tomb.

You have to pretend to be a snake.

Therefore, Chen Yuan said: "I was visiting Taoyuan here, walking along the stream, accidentally lost my way and strayed into your place, please forgive me, old man."

The old man stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "This is also a fate. I have not visited outsiders in Taohua Village for many years. Since the younger brother is here, he is a distinguished guest. Please come home with me and let me treat you well." It is."

As he said that, he wanted to grab Chen Yuan's hand.

Chen Yuan was startled, could this old ghost want to restrain me?
