Chapter 591 Peach Yaoyao 1
The peach blossoms shine brightly. ——"The Book of Songs·Zhou Nan·Taoyao"
…
…
There are peach trees all over the mountain, and the flowers are blooming in spring. The wind blew and picked up the petals.
The peach grove, which was originally in bloom, quietly ushered in a fire.
The fire spread, carried by the wind.
Wherever the fire passed, there was nothingness, leaving only dark wood ash and the scalding temperature of the earth.
Outside the peach forest, three boys wearing coarse linen shirts, about eight or nine years old, squatted behind a stone.
They looked towards the Taolin ruins, their faces a little pale, and they were at a loss.
The tall child was so anxious that he ran around in circles: "It's over, it's over, what can we do now? It's on fire, it's really on fire! It's all your fault, why did you come here to light a fire when you have nothing to do!"
"You can't blame us entirely. You agreed. Besides, we were only on the outside and didn't go in. Who knew that such a strong wind would blow the fire in..."
The thinnest child among them looked at the growing fire and asked weakly: "Aren't we going to call someone to put out the fire?"
"Can't go!" the other two said in unison.
The tall man patted his head and said, "If our parents or the village chief find out about this, they will beat us to death!"
This peach forest was here a long time ago. There are many peach trees inside, and it is like a maze. People who enter never come out again.
According to legend, there is an immortal living in the peach forest who can protect the health of the people in this area. The villagers of Taohua Village have protected and worshiped him for generations.
Peach Blossom Village is named after the peach grove.
The people in the village cherish this peach grove very much, but they dare not set foot in it. They only built a small ancestral hall on the periphery to facilitate the villagers to worship.
Even the village was built two mountains away from here, for fear that the worldly atmosphere would disturb the immortals.
The three of them were just curious about the immortals in this beautiful peach forest, so they came together.
As for making a fire... it was because they caught a pheasant on the way and wanted to roast it, but who knew it caused a fire.
The other two people couldn't help but shrink their necks when they heard that they were going to be beaten.
"Then, what should we do? Do you think the immortal will punish us?" The shortest boy was so frightened that he cried, "Wow - I don't want to die, immortal, I didn't mean to set you on fire!"
"Stop crying..."
Just as they were scrambling, the three of them suddenly felt their eyes go dark, and then their consciousness became blurred.
They fell to the ground unconscious.
At this time, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and the sky was filled with darkness, accompanied by thunder and lightning.
Then a heavy rain poured down.
The fire that was spreading in the peach forest was slowly extinguished by the rain.
When the sparks completely disappeared, a girl wearing a pink dress suddenly appeared outside the peach forest.
There was dark dust on her fair cheeks, so dark that it was almost impossible to see her facial features.
The pink dress was also burnt black, and the rain poured on her slender body, making her waist-length hair wet, making her very embarrassed.
As soon as Qingwu came out, he jumped on the spot several times.
Holy shit! It's hot! It's hot!
The burning temperature made her unable to hold back her words, and she could no longer maintain her composure.
Which naughty kid here is setting fire to the mountain? !
I don’t know how to ask someone to put out the fire!
After being soaked by the rain and the hot temperature on her body had almost cooled down, she looked at the three fainted brats over there with compassion.
Bodhi shouted in his consciousness: "Master, calm down!"
She whispered: "I'm calm."
"...Master, calm down." It was obvious that he didn't believe it.
Qingwu ignored him and walked slowly to the three children and squatted down.
His expression was far from friendly.
