Chapter 542 When the Peach Blossoms Bloom
The Golden Boy speaks one sentence each with a weird tone, giving people a disharmonious feeling.
"Those who do not respond after their name is called three times will be deemed to have abandoned the exam and a red line will be deducted."
"Students who have completed the assessment are not allowed to communicate with students who have not participated in the assessment, otherwise it will be regarded as cheating, and a red line will be deducted from both parties."
"Next, please ask the students whose names are called to enter the principal's office in turn."
"Scream!"
The student whose name was called hurriedly trotted, opened the straw curtain and walked in with a worried look on his face.
Behind this man, nine more people entered, and they did not stop until ten people were in the thatched hut.
After a while, Scream, who was the first to enter, walked out with frivolous steps.
There didn't seem to be any injuries on his body, but judging from his pale face, this quiz was not going to be easy.
Behind Scream, not everyone can come out.
One person stayed in the thatched house forever.
The order in which names were called was uncertain, so Wu Xian could only wait patiently.
The other dependents and newcomers were called one by one to take part in the examination, and all survived. However, after the examination, they were ordered to leave, so Wu Xian was unable to obtain any useful information.
Wu Xian just stood in the rain until the afternoon.
It wasn't until there were not many people left on the playground that it was finally his turn.
After Wu Xian heard the name, he hurried to the thatched house, followed the example of others, opened the straw curtain and walked in.
Wow!
Just walked into the thatched house.
Wu Xian's vision was in a trance for a while. When he woke up, he found that he was not in the thatched house, but standing in a dark room.
This room was very simple, with no windows, only dim candlelight, and a distinct earthy smell, and the air was a little damp.
Wu Xian's first impression was that this room was underground.
On the table in the middle of the room, there is an unknown stone statue enshrined.
Before entering here, Wu Xian's dynamic vision enhanced by the cat's eyes allowed Wu Xian to see the scene in the thatched house for a moment.
In that thatched house, there was no so-called 'principal', only a stone statue of an old man wearing a black robe. The two stone statues were almost identical except for their clothes.
On the wall behind the stone statue, there is a painting and a couplet hanging.
The painting is a pastoral painting, depicting an ancient village. The village is full of peach blossoms, men, women, old and children are contentedly. Children, cats and dogs are laughing and playing, just like a paradise.
The content of the couplet is.
‘False is also true, sometimes true is also false, and when there is no action, there is sometimes something and then nothing. ’
then.
Wu Xian turned around.
There are two doors behind him, one with 'True' written on it and the other with 'False' written on it.
There are explanations under the big letters.
True Gate Assessment:
In this assessment, everything you encounter is real. If you die during the assessment, you will die. If you are injured during the assessment, you will be injured. You can even take the things picked up during the assessment out of the examination room. If you pass the real door assessment, you will die. Six credits are available.
Fake door assessment:
The content of this assessment is the same as that of the True Sect, but everything encountered is an illusion. Three credits are obtained by passing the assessment class, and one credit is deducted for each death. After the deduction is completed, the assessment will stop.
Wu Xian finished reading.
Without hesitation, he walked directly into the real door.
Although the false door assessment is safer, it may also cause him to miss some important things.
The fact that if you make a mistake means you will die, it is not harsh on the dependents, it can only be regarded as a normal difficulty.
……
Once upon a time there was a mountain.
There is a temple on the mountainside.
There is a land father-in-law in the temple.
The peach blossoms were in full bloom this year, and a man wearing a gray or blue coat, holding a child with a horned hairstyle, came to offer incense to the land father-in-law.
The child raised his head and asked: "Dad, why do we come to offer incense every year."
The man smiled and asked, "Have you ever learned the story of Peach Blossom Spring?" The child nodded, shaking his head and reciting it.
"Well, sir, please let us carry it. At the end of the Xia Taiyuan period, the people of Wuling made fishing a living, traveling along streams and forgetting the distance of the road..."
The man smiled and patted the child on the head.
"Reciting it very well."
"Actually, our ancestors were residents of the Peach Blossom Spring."
"When the man in the story was leaving, his ancestors specifically told him that what happened here was not for outsiders to understand."
"The man promised, but the ancestor was still uneasy. He felt that this man might not be able to keep his promise, so the ancestor went out regularly to check the situation."
"It didn't take long for the ancestors to discover that the man had brought the prefect's army to the Peach Blossom Spring."
"The ancestors did not dare to show their faces. After the group of people left, the ancestors discovered that the road back to Peach Blossom Spring had disappeared. An earth temple appeared where the intersection should have been."
"It is the long-cherished wish of our ancestors to return to the Peach Blossom Spring. Therefore, the heirs of our family will come here every time the peach blossoms bloom to see if the entrance has appeared."
"You have to remember this story and pass it on to your next generation."

Finished.
The man turned his head, looked at the Earth Temple, and talked to the stone statue about some trivial matters.
When he finally left, he asked with a smile.
"Father-in-law, can you let us return to our hometown?"
There is only one stone statue in the temple.
The stone statue cannot reply.
……
In the following years, men would come here with their children to offer incense during the peach blossom season. He would ask this question every year.
"Father-in-law, can you let us return to our hometown?"
In the seventh year, the man died.
The child, who has grown into a young man, goes up the mountain alone to offer incense and tells the story of the difficulties the family encountered when his father died.
And before leaving, he asked that question on behalf of his father.
This child also grew up little by little, from youth to adulthood, and gradually had his own children, and like his parents, he brought his children to offer incense to the Tutu Temple.
Many years have passed again.
Times have gradually changed. The child of that year has become an old man, and the clothes have become modern clothes.
A few days before the peach blossoms bloomed, the old man took a bottle of wine and went up the mountain in the strong wind. With a haggard face and red bloodshot eyes, he sat in front of the Tutu Temple and talked about what had happened in recent years.
"Hey, things are not going well these days."
"There are wars everywhere, and people from all walks of life say they are fighting for us, but they are all killing people..."
"I heard that there are rebels in the county next door. I'm afraid our village won't be safe for long."
"Ten days later, it will be the day when the peach blossoms are in full bloom."
"I will bring my family here to worship you for the last time, and then we will go to seek refuge. I don't know if there will be a chance to come back in this life, so I came here specifically to talk to you today."
The old man drank half of the bottle of wine and poured the rest on the ground.
"My father-in-law, can you let us return to our hometown?"
The stone statue was still just a stone statue, unable to respond to the expectation in the old man's eyes.
……
Ten days later.
The sun is shining and the peach blossoms are in full bloom.
The mountains and plains are covered in pink, and the scent of peach blossoms is as intoxicating as sweet candy.
The stone statue of Father-in-Law disappeared, and a downward hole appeared at the base of the stone statue.
He agreed to the old man's request and opened the entrance to the Peach Blossom Spring.
But He waited until evening, but no one came up the mountain.
When the night gets darker.
The village at the foot of the mountain burned, half of the sky was covered in orange, and the smell of blood seemed to have spread to the mountain...
