This is Peach Blossom.
There are also the aunt in Peach Blossom Garden, the boy and the greyhound from the neighbor's house.
Taohuayuan is still as peaceful and peaceful as it used to be.
As peaceful and peaceful as the city before them.
This city, and this peach blossom garden.
- They were all killed by the Great Witch.
Either kill directly with magic, or die from blood poison.
If this world is not a fantasy, but is real, then after they died at the hands of the great witch, in some way, with their souls, or something else, they came to another world—the world that the great witch prepared for them.
In this world, there is no wind, frost, rain and snow, no war and famine, everyone is amiable, and they have never seen a single crying, angry, sad face along the way. Lin Shu thought, I don't know if they are still the same person before they died, and whether they still remember what happened during their lifetime.
And another question is, if this world is really real, does the great witch want everyone in the world to die at his hands, and then lead the world to this "Elysium"
A great witch with ideals.
He thought about this endlessly, and heard Xiao Shao ask: "Is this the realm of land gods?"
The great witch said: "Yes."
Xiao Shao: "Get out of the shackles of heaven and create another world?"
The great witch said slowly: "The human world is nothing but a floating reed in chaos. Now that you have completed your cultivation, separated from the human world and ascended to the immortal world, why can't you open up the world on your own?"
Lin Shu didn't want to talk, just listened to their conversation and gained new theoretical knowledge.
Originally, the ascension of immortals is the complete and complete understanding of their own "Dao", and they can exist independently without being attached to the Tao of Heaven. .
At this time, this person already has a self-consistent "Dao". Relying on the Tao of Heaven, there are people in the world, so relying on this person's Tao may not be able to create another self-consistent world.
After all, the legend that Pangu created the world since ancient times was also a man who created a world in chaos.
Buddhists say that the three thousand worlds of Saha are born and die in an instant. Even in modern physics, some people have put forward the hypothesis of "parallel universe".
Lin Shu felt that he could accept this theory.
He continued to listen.
Xiao Shao: "Why didn't you ascend?"
The big witch smiled: "There are still more things to do."
Xiao Shao's expression was indifferent. He didn't look at the great witch, but just looked at all the living beings in the city: "The rest is to make the people of the world forever happy."
The big witch seemed to be a pyramid scheme: "If you want, the two summers of the north and the south can be reconciled."
Xiao Shao looked indifferent: "Are you making peace here?"
Da Wu: "Otherwise?"
Inexplicably, Lin Shu felt that Da Wu was very kind to Xiao Shao.
The attitude is even very kind, like an elder, not at all like the yin and yang ambiguity of him.
However, the meaning in the Great Witchcraft is not friendly at all.
Nanbeixia shook hands and made peace, and everyone became a living corpse in the human world together, and then lived in peace in this world.
It is also possible not to make peace, to forcibly infect blood poison, everyone will become a living corpse in the human world together, and then live in peace in this world.
Lin Shu: "…"
Fine.
Xiao Shao said: "I can't agree."
Da Wu: "Why?"
Xiao Shao looked down at the whole city: "Are they doing well?"
Da Wu: "Okay."
"No more hatred and resentment in your heart?"
The great witch: "They have all given up their evil desires."
"Actually, if you want to achieve what you want, you don't need to harm the common people." Xiao Shao turned to the great witch: "As long as you become one of the sentient beings in the city, you will no longer have hatred and resentment, and you will achieve bliss forever and get what you want."
The big witch was speechless for a while.
Lin Shu thought, Brother Shao is still Brother Shao.
But the big witch is not an easy-going person: "I'm going to pay for all sentient beings in Fengxue, how can I take the lead."
Xiao Shao: "I'm afraid it's just your wishful thinking."
The big witch smiled faintly.
When he smiled, the blood in his eyes seemed to flow, cold and mysterious.
"His Royal Highness." The witch said slowly: "How do you know they don't want this?"
Xiao Shao did not speak.
Lin Shu looked at Da Wu and felt that the blood in his eyes deepened.
The great witch said: "The mortals in the world are in disarray, suffering from tyranny, or suffering from famine, they are not clothed, they have no food to eat, they have come to a very miserable place, they do not believe in the future, and they only seek liberation... I will pass them here, why not ?"
Xiao Shao: "It's my fault that all living beings suffer. You...have this wish, why don't you stop the war with Nanxia and support the people's livelihood?"
The corner of Da Wu Yinhong's mouth continued to draw a stray smile: "I can't help it... Willing or unwilling."
Xiao Shao: "Oh?"
The Great Witch lowered his head slightly, the corner of his mouth still smiling.
The blood in his eyes throbbed slightly, like a pool of flowing blood, almost breaking the shackles of the eyeballs and flowing down.
Lin Shu looked at the big witch.
He felt that Da Wu's expression was very crazy at the moment, and he was very depressed in the madness, and the bloodless, withered hand that was exposed in the blue sleeve of his side was shaking slightly, as if in the suppressing something.
The great witch's voice was hoarse and intermittent, as if half of it was in his throat, and said, "Your Highness, don't you agree with me...?"
Xiao Shao: "No."
The big witch smiled.
He put his hands together, and then slowly separated, something suddenly stretched between his hands, and then appeared out of thin air.
—It was a worn bronze mirror with green patina on the edges.
"The way is different, it's not for each other." Da Wu said: "Give this mirror to Your Highness to talk to relieve the boredom. I'm sorry."
After all, his figure slowly dissipated, turning into countless pitch-black fly ash, scattered in the heaven and earth.
In front of Lin Shu and Xiao Shao, there was only the floating bronze mirror.
Xiao Shao held the bronze mirror, and the copper rust fell down.
Lin Shu and Xiao Shao looked at each other.
Lin Shu said, "Will he come back?"
Xiao Shao: "No."
Lin Shu: "Oh."
Xiao Shao: "Go?"
Lin Shu: "Yeah."
He was still quite clear in his mind.
As soon as the witch left, the two of them were trapped in this world.
As for how to get out, you have to find a way to crack it yourself.
Xiao Shao said: "Go to the village."
Lin Shu: "Yeah."
In any case, Peach Blossom Spring is a special existence.
They left the heights and went north. Everything in Peach Blossom Spring comes into view, a sight that is too familiar. Even the fields and creeks are the places they have traveled. The creeks swim there from time to time, and the fish that look very plump at first glance are also the ones they have fished up.
The villagers were hoeing the fields. When they saw them coming, they greeted them with kind smiles, and some even called out their names, saying that they had not seen each other for several years, and you two came back.
The smile on his face is almost the same as everyone in the city. But this kind of expression appeared on their faces, except that the expressions on everyone's faces were almost the same, which was a little weird, but it did not violate the harmony.
Lin Shu pondered the reason and thought that the living conditions of the villagers in Peach Blossom Garden were actually very close to the people in that city. There was no war, no famine, food was inexhaustible, and their lives were orderly and carefree.
Peach Blossom Spring, is it a small country of bliss
They walked to the alley where the aunt's house was.
The Greyhound ran out of nowhere, sat on the side of the road, wagged his tail at a fixed frequency, opened his mouth to reveal a small half of his tongue, and even seemed to be smiling.
The aunt who was leaning against the door frame also smiled: "The child is here."
She wiped her hands on the sackcloth apron, turned around, and walked in with two people: "The quilt is ready, I can sleep comfortably, make fish soup, and make up for the child..."
The snow-white fish soup was served on the table, with fresh and green chopped green onions floating on it, and the long and fragrant taste was exactly the same as in my memory.
The aunt sat across from them with a smile on her face.
Lin Shu and Xiao Shao drank properly, and the aunt laughed even deeper.
Xiao Shao raised a topic and chatted with the aunt, and the aunt started chatting with them, and the conversation went very smoothly.
If it weren't for the series of events that happened before, Lin Shu almost thought he was back three years ago.
And through the dialogue, in the memory of the aunt, there was no murder by the witch at all, her life was peaceful, but the pair of children left three years ago, and came back to see him three years later.
Lin Shu saw Xiao Shao frowning slightly, and asked Auntie, "Auntie, is there still ground movement in the village?"
"Earthmovement?" The aunt looked puzzled: "What is the earthmovement?"
Xiao Shao tapped lightly on the table with his fingertips, and then said to his aunt, "Nothing... I remembered it wrong, it's an outside word."
He sighed softly and changed the subject: "Auntie, I don't know if you still remember, Shu'er and I, the lost child."
The lost child
Lin Shu recalled.
Recalling that when he and Xiao Shao found out that they were both males, they questioned each other and lost the unborn Yingying, and the aunt mistakenly thought it was a slippery tire.
But the aunt showed a puzzled expression: "You two have been outside for three years, how come there are so many words that I don't understand."
"It's gone, that is... Shu'er was originally pregnant, but she accidentally slipped the tire..." Xiao Shao did not change his face.
The aunt is even more puzzled: "How can the child in the stomach fall? I have never heard of such a strange thing."
Lin Shu heard Xiao Shao strangely change the topic again and bring it up to something unrelated.
After drinking the fish soup and talking, they were stuffed into the bedroom by the aunt, saying that they came from afar, and hurry up and rest.
When the two of them were left in the room, Xiao Shao said, "Auntie's mind is much clearer than the people in the city."
Lin Shu: "Yeah."
They talk to the people in the city, and the people there are often vague, and they start to repeat after two sentences, but the aunt can have a complete dialogue with them.
Xiao Shao let out a sigh of relief and said, "I know how the great witch created the kingdom of bliss."
Lin Shu expressed with his eyes that he would like to hear the details.
"Humans have seven emotions, joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, and evil. People in the land of bliss only know joy and don't know anything else. It's because the great witch erased the memory related to sorrow... or the things related to it in the soul, so everyone Everyone is kind and happy, forgetting everything related to fear. Therefore, the aunt clearly remembers that you and I love to drink fish soup, remember the room you and I slept in, and remember that you and I have been away for three years. fetal."
Lin Shu felt that Xiao Shao was right and nodded.
Xiao Shao continued: "The people in the Peach Blossom Spring are originally simple in nature, and they shun the world. They don't have many emotions related to fear. Therefore... there are few things that are stripped by the great witch, and their minds tend to be normal. , the things that were stripped by the great witch... there are so many things, so they are confused."
A very reasonable explanation.
Lin Shu looked out the window at this beautiful village.
The village is still the same village, the aunt is still the same aunt, and her soul is still there... It's still the same one, but something has been permanently erased.
And the great witch will erase all the negative things in people's hearts... They will live in such a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere forever and ever, and the kingdom of bliss will continue to run indefinitely. Always peace, always quiet.
After all, no one knows what "suffering" is.
This is a self-consistent world that, in theory, can indeed exist.
If there is no external force, the world of Dawu will never be destroyed.
Then, they can't find the loophole here.
If you can't find a loophole, you can't get out.
He looked at Xiao Shao and looked out the window, with a slightly confused look in his eyes.
Lin Shu thought, this may be a difficult time.
If you don't find the flaws, I'm afraid you will stay here indefinitely.
He saw Xiao Shao smiled.
Lin Shu: "Huh?"
"Nothing..." Xiao Shao said, "Three years ago, I thought that it would be my lifelong wish to live in Peach Blossom Garden with you forever. Today, I got the gift from the great witch, but it's just a matter of my mind."
Lin Shu said, "Then... stay?"
He is a sword cultivator without feelings, he has no principles, and he has no nostalgia for the outside world. If Xiao Shao suddenly changes his mind and wants to stay, that's fine. Anyway, for him, it's a lifetime.
He continued: "Then... don't look for loopholes?"
"Look." Xiao Shao smiled with his lips hooked, this life is very good-looking, the corners of his eyes are slightly raised, this smile is good-looking, but also a little bit hostile, as if the peony is stained with blood, and the peach blossom is frosted: "Peach Blossom Spring A blood debt must be paid in blood."
As an emotionless sword cultivator, Lin Shu has no subjective inclination, and only echoes: "Okay."
Just listen to Xiao Shao: "The country of bliss actually has a shocking loophole."
