Chapter 986: Xanadu

The next moment, the eyes suddenly opened up!

Below was a huge valley, flat and fertile, with some crops and fruit trees planted in the fields, and a clear stream flowing slowly.

In the middle of the valley, there is a small village, probably only a few dozen households, built with some adobe houses and thatched houses, ancient and simple.

At this time, some villagers are walking slowly in the countryside, enjoying themselves. A few children are chasing and playing, and the laughter is crisp. Chickens and dogs smell each other, quiet and peaceful.

This kind of scene is in stark contrast to the villages and towns outside that have been destroyed by the demons!

Seeing such a place, even Huang Yi inexplicably wanted to let go of the world, escape the war-torn world outside, live in seclusion here, and live a life without fighting with the world.

"[System Prompt]: You have discovered the Peach Blossom Spring, experience points +300000."

Shangri-La!

There's no better name than this!

This paradise, isolated from the rest of the world, is surrounded on all sides by huge mountain peaks, hidden among the mountains of the Giant Peak Mountains, and you can't find them even if you try to find them.

At this time, the outside world is being ravaged by the demons, but this place has not been affected at all, maintaining its original quiet and peaceful!

Until today, Huang Yi, the first strange intruder, was ushered in!

The cave where Huang Yi is located is in the middle of a cliff, and the position is not up or down. He didn't want to disturb the tranquility here, and instead of flying down with his wings, he put away his weapon, grabbed a hanging vine with both hands, and climbed into the valley below the cliff, and walked towards the small village.

This is a pink peach forest, the four seasons are like spring, and the peach blossoms are blooming all the time, and the fragrance of flowers is fragrant. Some peach trees even have some transparent crystalline peaches growing on them. It looks like it's slick.

A small stream runs through the middle of the peach forest, and schools of small fish swim around, occasionally popping up to the surface to eat the peach blossoms falling from the trees.

The grass on the shore is delicious and colorful, the dew on the tips of the grass shines, and the occasional crisp chirping of insects and birds can be heard.

Such a quiet and elegant view. Huang Yi unconsciously relaxed his mood, and even his pace became brisk, and it didn't take long for him to come to the entrance of the village.

There is a huge banyan tree at the entrance of the village, which is as thick as more than ten people hugging each other, and the branches are luxuriant. The air roots hang on the ground, entangled with each other, knotted and meandering, full of ancient meaning.

There is a huge stone under the tree, and it seems that people sit on it all year round to enjoy the shade. Polished very brightly. At this time, a few children were sitting there playing, and the bright sunlight shone through the dense foliage and scattered on their faces, reflecting their smiles even brighter.

When they saw Huang Yi coming, their eyes widened and they all showed a look of surprise.

"Who are you? How did you get here? A fifteen or sixteen-year-old child immediately stood up from the stone. looked at Huang Yi and asked. He spoke in a tone that wasn't quite the same as the outside world, but he could still understand it.

The rest of the children also stood up. They all looked at Huang Yi curiously, their eyes were clean and clear, spotless, full of innocence, like a clear spring in a mountain stream.

"I came here by accident." Huang Yi said in a calm tone, trying his best to show that he had no malicious intent. "Can you take me to meet the adults in your village?"

"Okay!" The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy nodded, climbed down from the big rock with the group of children, and began to lead Huang Yi into the village.

As they walked, they turned their heads frequently, and kept looking at Huang Yi, an outsider. From time to time, they whispered a few words to each other, and then laughed innocently.

Huang Yi suddenly found that these children were slightly different from ordinary people outside, and the positions of their shoulder blades were all slightly raised, and they even supported their clothes.

This kind of scene made him think of wings at once!

Races in human form, if they grow wings, stick out from the shoulder blades. But judging from the magnitude of the bulge of the shoulder blades of these little children, it seems that it is not enough to grow a pair of complete wings, I don't know what is going on.

With a strong sense of curiosity, Huang Yi followed the children into the village.

The village was a little lively, with three or two chickens and ducks walking in the countryside and pecking at food. Several dogs saw the children, wagged their tails and rushed over, putting their front paws on them to play. But after seeing Huang Yi, an outsider, he was a little hesitant.

Soon, the adults in the village also discovered Huang Yi and were shocked!

Everyone stopped what they were doing, walked out of their respective houses, and surrounded Huang Yi, an outsider, with curiosity in their eyes.

They seem to have been cut off from the outside world for so long that everyone has a simple look. Even if it is an old man, there is no feeling in his eyes that has gone through the vicissitudes of the world, and he is as innocent as a child.

They were dressed in very primitive coarse linen clothes, and the shoulder blades were all slightly raised, supporting the clothes.

"Are you from outside?" At this time, the oldest white-bearded old man in the crowd stepped forward, looked at Huang Yi and asked. He was in good spirits, and he didn't have the feeling of twilight aging that an old man should have.

"Yes! I stumbled upon a cave, and after climbing in, I got here......" Huang Yi briefly recounted the process of discovering this place, and then asked his own doubts: "Why do you live here?" ”

The old man stroked his long white beard, looked around Huang Yi left and right, and said slowly: "Our ancestors lived in seclusion in this place in order to escape the war of the Oskan Empire, and since then the descendants have never gone out again, I wonder if there is still a war outside?" ”

"Oscan Empire?!" When Huang Yi heard this name, he was shocked!

This is one of the greatest empires of antiquity! It is also known as the last large empire in the history of the Second World, with an incomparably vast territory and ruins scattered on all continents of the Second World today.

But the empire eventually perished and disappeared into the vast river of history. Only its direct royal academy was left to survive, and gradually became the core force of the second world, that is, the Oskan Royal Academy.

The ancestors of these people actually came here to live in seclusion in ancient times, and have survived several epochs unharmed, and I don't know how many catastrophes they have escaped.

"The Oskan Empire has long since perished, and even the Eastern and Western Continents have been shattered into hundreds of pieces......," Huang Yi simply explained the situation outside.

"What a change!"

"The continent is actually shattered!"

"I don't know if the legendary Yuchao Mountain of the ancestors is still there."

The crowd immediately looked at each other and began to talk about it. This is the first time in countless years that news from the outside world has come here.

"Young man, you must be very hungry when you have come here! Why don't you come to my house and have a meal and rest for a while? At this time, the white-bearded old man invited Huang Yi.

"Good! Thanks a lot! Huang Yi nodded, he was indeed a little tired.

The white-bearded old man smiled kindly, stroked his beard, and turned his head to the surrounding villagers and children and instructed: "Zongzi, Huahua, you two go to Peach Blossom Creek to catch a few grass carp, and by the way, pick a basket of spiritual water peaches and come back; Dongyang, skinny, you go and kill two chickens, and get a few goose eggs; Little gray rabbit, you and Abba carry two jars of aged peach blossom wine, and then go to the vegetable garden to dig some sweet potatoes and lettuce; Yuyu, frightening wind, you two climb up the Ningcui Cliff, pick some swan fungi down, and then take two pine bird's nests; Wife, go and light the fire yourself......"

Soon, the villagers were enthusiastic about preparing this sumptuous lunch.

Huang Yi followed the white-bearded old man to his house.

The house, right on the bridge of a creek, was a few old thatched huts, all the utensils were wooden and stone, clean and tidy, simple and simple, and comfortable.

In front of the house was a tall fig tree, its wide foliage shading the midday sun, casting a shade of greenery. Under the tree there are two rattan chairs, polished so smooth that they seem to be sitting here all year round, looking out at the mountains in the distance, watching the sun rise and set.

Huang Yi came directly to the tree, sat on a chair, leaned on the back of the chair, and looked comfortably at the green cliff in the distance.

A few pine trees stretched out from the cliff, overgrown with exotic flowers and plants, and a small waterfall fell from the middle, like a poetic landscape painting.

"It's a fairyland!" Huang Yi sighed from the bottom of his heart, his whole soul seemed to have been sublimated, and all the killing and blood before were gone.

"That's why our ancestors will live in seclusion here, and never get involved in the hustle and bustle of the outside world again!" The white-bearded old man said and sat down in another chair. The two bulging shoulder blades were pressed together in the middle, like a pillow, resting on the back of the chair, and the back of the head resting comfortably on it.

Huang Yi looked at the bulging shoulder blades, his curiosity rose again, and he couldn't help asking, "What is growing behind your back?" ”

The old man pursed his lips, turned his head to look at Huang Yi, hesitated for a moment, and said, "That's a vested wing." ”

"Degenerate?" Huang Yi was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but feel more curious, "Why do good wings degenerate?" ”

The old man looked at the mountain peaks in the distance and said faintly, "Because ...... We are descendants of the Feathered Clan. ”

"Feathered Clan?!" Huang Yi was suddenly surprised, and almost stood up from his chair, "Could it be that the Feathered Human Clan of Johns the God Sealer?" ”

"Exactly!" The old man nodded and stroked his white beard, "Johns! It was one of the greatest people in the history of our Feather Race, and he led us to the most prosperous period. But it is precisely because of him that it has led to the decline of our Feather Human Race. ”

――――

When the last chapter was first published, I saw that some readers had already guessed that it was the Peach Blossom Spring. "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" is my favorite text when I was a student, and when I was depressed last year, I especially longed to go to such a place to escape the world, but there is no such place in reality, so I can only make up a fictional experience in the book. The names of the people mentioned above are basically all the names of the characters that readers sign up for. (To be continued.) )
