Chapter 220 The secret story shocked everyone
As everyone knows, "Peach Blossom Spring" was written by Tao Yuanming.

It roughly tells the story of a fisherman who got lost while fishing and mistakenly entered a peach forest.

Out of curiosity, he began to walk deeper.

As a result, they walked into a paradise. The moment they walked into the paradise——

The fisherman saw acres of fertile farmland and neatly arranged houses.

The villagers here——

Live a happy life and work in peace and contentment.

This was in stark contrast to the chaotic world at that time.

The people in Taohua Spring were very surprised to see the sudden appearance of a fisherman.

Because no outsiders have come here for nearly a thousand years.

But even so——

The villagers still treated the fisherman warmly.

It was at this banquet that the fisherman learned that

It turns out that their ancestors hid in this isolated place in order to escape the war during the Qin Dynasty.

The ancestors have lived and multiplied from generation to generation,

Never had any contact with the outside world.

Therefore, naturally, I didn’t know that there had been a change of dynasties outside.

These villagers are very satisfied with their current lives.

So I told the fisherman:

Tell him not to mention anything about Peach Blossom Spring to anyone else when he goes out.

Although the fisherman agreed on the surface, he agreed very readily.

But when I went out——

The fisherman still made many marks along the way.
I wrote down the way to the Peach Blossom Spring. When I left the Peach Blossom Spring,
The fisherman went straight to the governor's mansion without hesitation.

He directly reported to the governor what he saw and heard in the Peach Blossom Spring.
At that time, it was the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

There was chaos in the Central Plains, flames of war, and wars were everywhere.

The imperial court needed both manpower and food and wages.

Therefore, those who escape to the mountains and forests and live in seclusion will be severely punished.

It was great to see that there was such a rich place in the area under his jurisdiction.

When the prefect learned about this, he immediately sent out troops to accompany the fisherman in search of the Peach Blossom Spring.

The book records: "I went to the place I had marked, but I got lost and could not find the way back."

meaning is--

They got lost while looking for signs left by fishermen along the way.

The Peach Blossom Spring can never be found again.

It stands to reason,
The story ends here.
It should be over now.

But the last paragraph of the book tells the story of -

There was a man named Liu Ziji in Nanyang. After hearing about the Peach Blossom Spring, he went to look for it out of curiosity.

Like the officers and soldiers along the way——

He also didn't find this mysterious paradise.

But for some reason, not long after Liu Ziji came back——

Liu Ziji, who had always been in good health, suddenly fell seriously ill and died of the illness.

This is what most people know about Peach Blossom Spring.

When Hu Ge heard Lin Feng's narration, he didn't understand at all:
"No, Lin Feng, isn't this the plot of Peach Blossom Spring described in the textbook?"

"Your description is not that different from the Peach Blossom Spring described in the book."

"So, Lin Feng..."

Nini looked at Lin Feng speechlessly:

"The story of Peach Blossom Spring you told us was just a translation of the ancient text into vernacular Chinese!"

"That's not necessary. Although our cultural literacy is not high, we can still understand this bit of classical Chinese, right?"

Originally, I was curious about the new version of Peach Blossom Spring that Lin Feng mentioned.

But after hearing Lin Feng's narration, the look in Sister Fairy's eyes was...

A few traces of disappointment flashed across my mind...

"what the hell?"

"That's it??"

It's like saying that one person has already filled up your emotions.
You all prepared to have a good meal, to have a full banquet, but in the end -

I'll just bring you a bowl of instant noodles.

This gap is hard to accept!
Feeling the questioning of everyone's disappointed eyes,
Lin Feng's face was calm.

There was nothing to be seen in his calm eyes.

After everyone complained for a while,

Lin Feng then turned his head and looked at the Fairy Sister beside him:

"Don't be disappointed yet."

"Do you know why Nanyang Liu Ziji suddenly fell seriously ill after returning from Taohuayuan and then died in bed?"

In response to Lin Feng's question,
The Fairy Sister also answered very quickly:
"Didn't he just catch the disease on the way here?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing the Fairy Sister's answer, Lin Feng slowly shook his head:

"wrong."

wrong?
Could it be that Liu Ziji didn’t die of illness?

Sister Shenxian was quite helpless: "Then tell me, why did Liu Ziji fall seriously ill and become bedridden right after returning from Peach Blossom Spring?"

Lin Feng just raised his head and looked at everyone present.

Then, he slowly uttered a shocking secret:
"Because he saw a dead person."

"He saw hundreds and thousands of bodies abandoned in the Peach Blossom Land."

Corpse?!
Hundreds or thousands?

When everyone heard these words from Lin Feng's mouth, they were all shocked for a moment.

It is an analysis that subverts all three perspectives!
Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring" can even involve a corpse?
In an instant, a creepy feeling rushed straight to the top of his head.

"Liu Ziji, didn't you find the Peach Blossom Spring?"

Sister Fairy's eyes were filled with astonishment:

"Since we haven't found the Peach Blossom Spring, how can we ..."

Halfway through the words,
Feeling Lin Feng's questioning gaze, Sister Fairy finally reacted.

She looked at Lin Feng and slowly expressed her guess:
"So, Lin Feng, what you mean is..."

"It's not that Liu Ziji didn't find the Peach Blossom Spring. Rather, he did find the Peach Blossom Spring and even went in. It's just that..."

"I saw something extremely horrible in this paradise!"

"So, he lied to the outside world and said that he had not found the Peach Blossom Spring?"

Nini is obviously a smart person,

She understood the Fairy Sister's narration:
"So, when Liu Ziji broke into Peach Blossom Spring, he saw something horrible——"

"It's the Peach Blossom Spring, and the whole village is filled with corpses of villagers."

in an instant,
A cold wind blew.

Everyone just felt a shudder.

"How did this dating show suddenly turn into a collection of ghost stories?"

Sister Zifeng glanced around in darkness with lingering fear, then unconsciously leaned towards Lin Feng.

"The Peach Blossom Spring you described is completely different from the one described in the book..."

Originally, I felt that the weather was okay and not too cold.

But when you hear it,

Liu Ziji was so frightened by the sight of the slaughtered bodies all over the village that he fell seriously ill.

Hugo suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

"This is too scary!"

Should I say or not,

The desolate and quiet atmosphere beside the small rock pond,

Coupled with the pitch-black night, it is indeed a bit creepy.

Under the cover of night,
Lin Feng sat on the stone pier and told everyone what happened later...

Just now, that was just the Peach Blossom Spring recorded in textbooks.

But regarding this Peach Blossom Spring,
There is indeed another rumor circulating among the people.

Actually,
The army sent out by the prefect did not get lost, but actually found the Peach Blossom Spring.

After finding the Peach Blossom Spring——

Looking at the fertile land of Taohuayuan, it is full of gold.

Without any hesitation.

The army decisively started the looting mode.

They massacred everyone there.

From young and middle-aged people to the elderly, children, women and children, no one was spared.

The army massacred everyone in Taohuayuan and took away all the wealth belonging to Taohuayuan.

As the guide, the fisherman received a handsome reward from the army and returned to his hometown to live out his days in peace.

Since this is not a glorious thing,
Therefore, both the army and the fishermen spoke with one voice and announced to the outside world:

"I didn't find the Peach Blossom Spring during this trip."

Later, Liu Ziji from Nanyang followed the mark left by the fisherman and found the Peach Blossom Spring.

However, when he arrived at the Peach Blossom Spring——

What he saw was not the legendary paradise.

Instead, there were corpses everywhere, a tragic scene like purgatory.

Those thousands of heads hanging at the entrance of the village - resentment is rising to the sky!
Each head was stained with scarlet blood, and the teeth were about to crack!
The peach blossoms in the Peach Blossom Spring were stained with blood.

Because they absorb nutrients from the rotting corpses, the petals of peach blossoms,
Become incomparably bright...

It is said that since then——

Everyone who enters the Peach Blossom Spring will be cursed by hundreds of rotting corpses.

Everyone who enters the Peach Blossom Spring will eventually end up in a bad way.

It was because of the encounter with the Peach Blossom Spring that soon after returning home,

Liu Ziji then contracted a serious illness!
Every night when he closed his eyes, Liu Ziji would instantly recall the thousands of dried heads hanging at the entrance of the village.

They were staring at me with eyes wide open and full of resentment!
Under this double blow of physical and psychological stress——

In the end, Liu Ziji was scared to death!

In order to prevent future generations from following in his footsteps, until the last moment of his life,
Liu Ziji did not tell everyone the exact location of Peach Blossom Spring.

Just declared to the outside world,

He did not find the Peach Blossom Spring...
