Fantasy Three Kingdoms: Four knots in Taoyuan at the beginning

Chen Yuan didn't dare to let the old man touch him. If the old man used some kind of insidious spell, wouldn't it be miserable.

But Chen Yuan couldn't show too obvious resistance, so Chen Yuan pretended to be scratching his back and scratched, skillfully avoiding the old man's scratch.

Seeing the old man's hand resting awkwardly in the air, Chen Yuan chuckled: "I don't know if it was contaminated with something unclean in the peach blossom forest just now, and my body is very itchy."

There was a gleam in the old man's eyes, and he said with concern: "The guest thinks he has been poisoned by the peach blossom miasma, so quickly swallow this detoxification pill to get rid of this evil."

As he said that, the old man took out a shiny pill from his pocket, stretched it out in front of Chen Yuan, and signaled Chen Yuan to take the panacea quickly.

Chen Yuan was grinning on the surface, but in his heart he was abusive.

If I took your detoxification pill, I would be truly poisoned.

However, that certainly cannot be said.

Therefore, Chen Yuan waved his hands again and again: "Old man is too polite, there is no need to be so, it's just a little itchy, there is no other abnormality, presumably it is caused by some pollen, the patience will pass, there is no need to waste the old man's panacea gone."

Seeing that Chen Yuan was determined to refuse, the old man had no choice but to give up.

After taking back the elixir that was poisoning or detoxifying, the old man took Chen Yuan to his home.

As he walked, he asked Chen Yuan: "Dare to ask the guests, what year is it now outside, and how many generations have my Daqin passed down? Is the first emperor still alive?"

Knowing that the old man's memory stayed in the troubled times at the end of Qin Dynasty, Chen Yuan was not surprised by his question.

It's just that Chen Yuan had to show a surprised look, otherwise wouldn't he be exposed.

Therefore, Chen Yuan was surprised and said: "Now that the Liu family is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the First Emperor has died long ago, and the Great Qin Dynasty has been dead for hundreds of years. Doesn't the old man know?"

The old man sighed melancholy and said: "The guests don't know. Ever since our ancestors avoided chaos here at the end of Qin Dynasty, the people of Taohua Village have never been here for hundreds of years, and no outsiders have ever been here. I don’t know anything about the situation, but it made the guests laugh.”

Chen Yuan made a gesture of envy: "It's a good fortune for the old man to wait. I think life in your place is much better than outside."

Hearing this, the old man turned his head to look at Chen Yuan, and said with a smile, "Does the guest really think so?"

Chen Yuan nodded: "That's the case. Although the outside world is not in troubled times, we and the people of Cangshou are also living a difficult life. Not only are the levies and miscellaneous taxes fierce, but some aristocratic families don't regard us as human beings. Some places in the north were plundered by those barbarians, like livestock, and we Han people were called two-legged sheep, you can imagine how sad these days are, precarious, life is better than death."

The old man was surprised and said: "In this way, isn't it not as good as our ancestors in the troubled times at the end of Qin Dynasty?"

Chen Yuan was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Exactly."

The old man was secretly happy, it was so good, so good.

While the two were talking, they came to the old man's house.

The old man thought he had quite a status in the village, maybe he was the village head, so his house was not small.

The two-entry house looks like six or seven houses, with a wooden structure and a roof tile, which is definitely the only one in the entire Peach Blossom Village.

The old man Jiuzhang let Chen Yuan into the house, and while chatting with Chen Yuan, he ordered his wife to serve food and wine.

During this period, other people from Murakami also came to the old man's house.

However, what chilled Chen Yuan's heart was that, no matter if they were adults or children, although they looked very enthusiastic and happy, their eyes were not flexible, and the eyeballs hardly moved, exuding a kind of sluggish death.

Looking at the group of dead ghosts in front of him, Chen Yuan looked at Tai Shici and Zhao Yun, and only then did he gain some warmth and confidence.

Scared of hair!

At worst, flip the table, there are two first-rank powerhouses who can't kill these ghosts.

Chen Yuan was thinking about how to escape while following something that was not sure whether it was a ghost or a dead person.

Not long after, a seemingly sumptuous banquet was set up.

There are wine and meat, various dishes, and fruits, etc., which look quite good.

When the old man Jiuzhang saw that the banquet was ready, he asked everyone to sit at the table and coughed lightly.

Everyone looked at the old man, and the old man held up his wine glass and said: "Our Taohua Village has not been connected to the outside world for hundreds of years. It is an honor and opportunity for our Taohua Village to have a distinguished guest today, so let us Let’s raise our glasses and pay respects to these honored guests.”

As he spoke, the old man raised his wine glass, and the rest of the people also raised their glasses one after another.

Then everyone's eyes turned to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan's heart trembled.

The old man wanted to force them to drink the glass of wine.

It seems that this wine is definitely not a good thing, it is probably a poisonous wine that can control others.

I absolutely can't drink it, but I haven't found a way to get out yet, and it's not the time to turn my face, so I have to speak out.

Chen Yuan thought for a while, and said apologetically: "Thank you, old man, and everyone for your kindness. It stands to reason that I have no reason not to drink the good wine you offer me. It's just that I drank a lot of wine these days, and suddenly fell ill. I have liver disease, and the Xinglin sage in the city told me not to drink alcohol, otherwise if I get sick again, there will be no cure, so please forgive me."

With that said, Chen Yuan got up and bowed to apologize.

As soon as Chen Yuan finished speaking, there was a silence in the field, and the needle could be heard.

After a long while, the old man Jiuzhang chuckled: "Since the guest is sick, then I don't force the guest, so I invite the guest to sit down and have some food."

Chen Yuan had no choice but to sit down again, and had already rejected the old man twice. Chen Yuan felt that if he refused again, it would be a shame that the old man would use some tough methods.

Although Chen Yuan was not afraid, but Chen Yuan still wanted to find out the truth in this peach blossom garden, so he had to stabilize the old man first.

Fortunately, at this time, the clothes are all wide-sleeved robes, as long as you cover your mouth to eat, if it leaks in the sleeves, no one should be able to find out.

So, Chen Yuan looked at Tai Shici and the others, and raised his sleeves in a subtle way, and everyone immediately understood.

In the eyes of everyone, Chen Yuan and the others picked up the vegetables, put them near their mouths, then covered them with the other hand, opened their mouths as if to swallow them, but in fact they fell into the sleeves.

While chewing, Chen Yuan praised: "This beef is delicious. I haven't eaten such delicious beef for a long time."

When the old man with a dove stick saw that Chen Yuan had finally eaten, a look of joy flashed across his eyes.

The old man said with a smile: "Since the guests think it is delicious, then eat more, and these dishes are very good, all carefully prepared, I hope the guests will like it."

Chen Yuan already had a way to cheat at this time, so naturally he would not be polite.

So he said bluntly: "Naturally, I'm not welcome, I just visited for a day, and I'm hungry."

As he said that, Chen Yuan picked up the chopsticks and other dishes were put into his mouth as before, but actually fell into the lower sleeve.

The same was true for Tai Shici and the others, who ate very happily.

Seeing that Chen Yuan and the others were eating happily, everyone started to eat too.

Everyone pushed the cups and changed the cups, looking happy and happy. For a while, the atmosphere was very lively.

When everyone was dazzled and relaxed, Chen Yuan asked abruptly, "Old man, I don't know if you know the way to get out of the mountain?"

Chen Yuan originally thought that the old man would push back, but he didn't expect the old man to say cheerfully: "Of course I know."

Chen Yuan was overjoyed: "Dare to ask me, how did I get out of Taohuayuan Village?"

The old man said: "Guests only need to go to the big peach tree at the entrance of the village, turn left three times, turn right three times, and the way out will appear in front of them."

Chen Yuan was silent for a while: "Since the old man knows how to get out, why don't you go out?"

Hearing this, the old man smiled strangely: "Of course it's because that's the way out for strangers, and we naturally can't use it."

Chen Yuan sneered in his heart, Xiaobian, it seems that he thinks that I ate your food, and you are sure to eat me, so stop pretending, are you going to reveal your true colors?

It's a pity that you are still a little stupid.

It's just that now is not the time to wrap up, this drama has to go on.

Therefore, Chen Yuan pretended to be terrified: "Old man, what is the meaning of this?"

At this time, the old man no longer had the appearance of the fairy before, and his face turned ferocious.

"What do you mean? Hahaha, since we are not living, then we are dead."

After the old man said this, he immediately revealed his original shape.

I saw a gust of dark wind blowing by, and the scene suddenly changed.

At this time, the old man has turned into a gloomy old man with a dead face, wearing a longevity robe, and white eyes, and has no substance, floating in midair, like a ghost.

The same goes for the rest of the villagers, all of whom were floating in midair with ashen faces.

The furniture decoration and even the house have become paper, the meals have also turned into black and spoiled meals, and the fruits have also become rotten.

Chen Yuan looked at the changed food, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, thankfully I didn't eat it, otherwise even if there was no poison, these things alone would be enough to poison him to death.

Chen Yuan continued to act.

He sat down on the ground with a plop, and said tremblingly, "You... are you ghosts?"

The gloomy old man chuckled, and his laughter was full of ghosts at this time.

"Yes, we are ghosts, a group of fierce ghosts who have been unable to escape for hundreds of years!"

"Then what are you trying to do by pulling me in?"

The old man's voice was ferocious: "What do you want to do? Don't worry, we won't kill you, but you have to obey our orders, otherwise you will become like us."

"What do you want me to do?"

"We will let you out later, but you have to get more people in for us, the more the better."

"What are you doing with so many people?"

"What are you doing? Hehe, I'm not doing anything, I'm just looking for some scapegoats."

"scapegoat?"

"Yes, as long as one person comes in, one of us can be liberated and reincarnated. As long as all of us can be reincarnated, your mission will be completed."

At this time, Chen Yuan already understood the conspiracy of these ghosts, which was to find a scapegoat so that they could be relieved.

With the method of getting out and knowing the purpose of these ghosts, Chen Yuan no longer had the slightest scruples, so he stopped acting.

Shi Shiran stood up from the ground, looked at the gloomy old man calmly: "What if I disagree?"

The old man said ferociously: "If you disagree, you will die!"

Seeing this, Chen Yuan no longer had the slightest desire to talk to this old ghost, so he shouted: "Ziyi, Zilong, do it."

As he spoke, the Five Elements Divine Light turned into a five-colored divine sword and slashed at the old ghost.

Because the distance between the two was very close, even though Chen Yuan didn't have much kung fu, the sword still stabbed the old ghost. There was only a stabbing sound, as if sulfuric acid was splashed on the skin.

Then, there was an ear-piercing scream.

After a burst of smoke, the gloomy old man reappeared in front of Chen Yuan.

However, at this time, the old man was not only three feet away from Chen Yuan, but also his figure was much blurred. It seems that Chen Yuan's sword just did not hurt him lightly.

This meant that Chen Yuan kept his hand, and wanted to keep him to ask for some information, otherwise, with a single strike, the old man would definitely be turned into ashes.

At this moment, the old man looked at Chen Yuan with resentment: "You are actually a practitioner?"

Therefore, Chen Yuan did not answer this question, but said: "Never mind whether I am a cultivator or not, I have a few questions for you, you'd better answer them honestly, otherwise don't blame my subordinates for being merciless when your soul is gone."

Hearing this, the old man grinned grimly and said, "You are so rampant. It's a pity that even if you are a cultivator, you will be at the mercy of the old man today."

"Oh, I don't know where your confidence comes from?"

The old man pointed to the black food in the field: "Do you know what these are?"

"What? Isn't it just some rotten wine and vegetables?"

"Haha, the food and drink that swished? No, no, no, this is the meal that the Yin people eat, and the old man's special Yinhun powder is added in it. If you eat these things, if you don't have the old man's antidote, you will be violent within three days. If you want to die, and the ghosts will come here, you will be trapped here with us, and you will never be reborn, so if you want to live or want to be reincarnated, then obediently obey my orders, or you will be in this endless hell Suffer."

Chen Yuan looked at the old man's complacent expression, and asked calmly, "Is this your reliance?"

The old man was a little confused.

No, this reaction is wrong.

Why is this man so calm now? Isn't he afraid of death?Isn't he afraid that he will not be reborn forever?

It shouldn't be, but why is he so calm?

Thinking of this, the old man began to seriously recall Chen Yuan's behavior at the dinner table, and when he thought of Chen Yuan covering his mouth while eating, his heart moved.

You didn't eat these things?

Chen Yuan shook his sleeve robe, and some black food was scattered on the ground.

The same was true for Tai Shici and the others, they all shook their sleeves, clattered, and some black food fell to the ground.

Seeing these black things, the old man completely collapsed.

The originally blurred soul body seemed to become even more blurred, as if blown by the wind, and rippled, showing the drastic mood change in the old man's heart at this time.

"You didn't eat?"

Chen Yuan smiled disdainfully: "Of course I didn't eat it, I'm afraid I'll die if I eat something unknown!"

Seeing what the old man wanted to say, Chen Yuan interrupted directly: "Stop talking nonsense, let me ask you, what exactly is this place?"

The old man's face was ugly, and he hesitated for a while.
