The #1 Pretty Boy of the Immortal Path-Chapter 124 - The Story of the Peach Blossom Land

Chapter 124 - The Story of the Peach Blossom Land

Edited by Molly

Lin Shu looked down at the spring water flowing out of the crevice.

The stream in the Peach Blossom Land was clear, even if it was mixed with hot spring water, it was only slightly turbid.

But the water at this time has a dull red color.

Xiao Shao grabbed his hand and squeezed it tightly.

Lin Shu felt cold in his fingers.

Xiao Shao didn’t say anything, and led him aside the withered vines outside the gap and walked into the slit.

The slit was narrow, deep and black, only the sound of water reverberated in his ears.

Lin Shu thought of blood when he heard the sound of water.

He even instinctively didn’t want to go forward.

Xiao Shao: “Don’t be afraid.”

After turning a corner, they could see a line of sky light, gradually becoming bright and dazzling.

Xiao Shao put his hand over Lin Shu’s eyes.

Lin Shu knew that Xiao Shao was afraid that the strong light after he came out of the mountain for a while would stab his eyes.

Out of the slit, the wind rushed in, and the smell of blood became stronger.

Lin Shu was led forward by Xiao Shao, and then stopped.

He reached for Xiao Shao’s hand covering his eyes.

Xiao Shao did not let go.

Lin Shu said, “I’m fine.”

Xiao Shao: “Your hands are cold.”

Lin Shu: “So are yours.”

Xiao Shao said, “Do you really want to see it?”

Lin Shu: “I can… accept it.”

Xiao Shao: “Very similar.”

Lin Shu: “What is it like?”

“The mirror.”

Lin Shu’s mind was blank.

Xiao Shao gently moved his fingers away.

Blood.

A lot of blood.

Dark brown, soaked in the soil, the emerald green weeds were also splashed with blood.

He raised his head and looked forward.

The village was the same village, but it was so quiet that even the chirping birds could not be heard.

There was a big splatter of blood by the stream.

His hands were shaking a little but he managed to maintain his balance, and walked into the alley.

The alley was so quiet that they could only hear their footsteps.

There was also a big splash of blood on the wall of the neighbor’s courtyard, dripping all over the wall, and shining slightly in the sun.

Next to the yard, there was a small pool on the ground. For some reason, Lin Shu thought of Greyhound.

Xiao Shao opened the gate to Auntie’s courtyard.

In the yard, there was usually only the auntie alone, because the men in the family would go to work in the early morning and come back in the middle of the afternoon.

At a glance, Lin Shu saw a lot of blood dripping on the vegetable plot in the yard. He didn’t know if it was a chicken or a duck.

Half of the water tank was dyed dark brown, the water inside was red, and a large area was smeared on the ground. Next to it, there was a ladle that had been overturned.

He did not notice when Fruit appeared, and he stood up on tiptoe, scratching the edge of the water tank, staring blankly at the surface of the water, and then toward the kitchen door, his eyes filled with tears.

Xiao Shao whispered, “Why…”

Lin Shu also wanted to ask.

Why?

When they left, they laid the strongest barrier that could be laid, and they also made sure to draw all the wizards away from the village.

Who killed the entire Peach Blossom village?

And… Why use such a method?

No bones, no corpses, only blood.

The whole village, the fields outside, were full of blood.

——And the blood stains were not fresh, it had solidified. When it had not solidified, was it similar to the sight of blood flowing like a river?

Lin Shu’s eyes flashed, and he suddenly remembered that in his previous life, there was a car accident in the middle of the road on the way to school.

The scene has been cleaned up, the blood has not been wiped clean, a large pool of dark blood stains dripped irregularly in the middle of the road, it was very conspicuous.

He thought at that time, human life was nothing but such a pool of blood.

But now, seeing this puddle of blood, he saw the voices and smiles of the aunt, neighbors, and even the barking of Greyhound.

The kitchen door was closed, as if the next moment Auntie would push the door out, with a bowl of white delicious fish soup.

His eyes were astringent. For a moment, he was so dazed that he could hardly stand.

Xiao Shao: “It’s a very evil witchcraft.”

Lin Shu nodded.

Not only Yin evil, but also very powerful.

He went to see Xiao Shao.

Xiao Shao looked at the pool of blood, silent for a long time. Then he went to the room.

The room was the same as when they left, neat and tidy. There was even a white plum in the pottery bottle on the table.

On the table, there was more than one thing.

They walked over.

Xiao Shao picked it up — it was a bead.

A shadow bead.

There was no such thing in Peach Blossom Land.

It can only be from—— the one who slaughtered the village.

Xiao Shao infused spiritual power into the bead.

The air in front of them was illusory for a moment, and then——

A harsh scream, a cry of pain sounded at that moment, as if coming from all directions.

The image was from top to bottom, shining on the ground.

A human body suddenly turned into a puff of thick blood, and it splashed on the ground with a “pop”.

A voice said, “Lord, do you want to clean up?”

“No need.” The voice had a strange accent, and a mysterious hoarseness.

A pair of feet stepped on the pool of blood, and the dark purple boots left a deep red mark.

This person’s clothes were the same, almost black, deep purple, with some tangled and frantic witchcraft patterns on it.

His voice seemed to have a smile from nowhere, “There is no pure place in the world…”

The voice that appeared for the first time continued, “Master, are you going to Qingming Cave?”

The Lord said, “It’s boring.”

The image came to an abrupt end.

The shadow bead turned into debris, dripping from Xiao Shao’s fingers.

Lin Shu: “Who is it?”

Xiao Shao: “The Great Wizard.”

There was a Majesty and a Lord in Northern Xia.

His Majesty is the Emperor of Northern Xia, and the Lord… is the Great Wizard of Northern Xia.

Has the Great Wizard come out of seclusion?

What was the purpose of the Great Wizard placing this shadow bead on the table in their room? Did he know that they would come back? Is it for them to see?

And those screams and cries of pain, were they tortured?

Lin Shu couldn’t think about it. When he thought about it, he saw the auntie turn into a pool of sticky blood.

Did it hurt?

Were they… terrified?

His heart was pulled up by something. It was painful.

This was a feeling he had never experienced before.

Peach Blossom Land is gone.

All people and things have become blood.

And their death, he could not get rid of it in his mind, was it because of them?

If they had never stepped into Peach Blossom Land and had never known its existence, would this secluded fairyland have existed forever?

His fingers pinched the palm of his hand.

Xiao Shao took his hand, covered the back of his hand with the palm of his hand, and then took him into his arms.

Lin Shu leaned against Xiao Shao’s chest and closed his eyes.

There was a sea of blood in front of him, and he heard his heart beating.

Dong, Dong, Dong.

Deafening the ear with its roar.

Xiao Shao slowly hugged him tightly.

Lin Shu had never been so soberly aware as at this moment that his worry-free, thoughtless youth, on this day, in this sea of blood, had completely come to an end.

His, and Xiao Shao’s.

He had never really been born, he was born before, just because he had never been in the world.

He had drawn water from that clear stream of Qingxi River, held a porcelain bowl and drank the soup cooked by his aunt. He was already a person in this world.

In the world, one cannot escape the seven emotions and five senses, nor can they escape from fate.

Xiao Shao patted him on the back lightly.

He reached for Xiao Shao’s arm.

Xiao Shao said: “There will be an account.”

Lin Shu said, “The Great Wizard didn’t come for Qingming cave.”

Xiao Shao: “It was also not for hunting us down.”

If it’s for the sake of Qingming cave, it’s impossible for the wizard not to enter.

If it’s to hunt them down, they’re still alive.

Xiao Shao said, “Despite what happened in the North Capital City.”

It’s impossible for the Great Wizard coming out of seclusion to go South without a plan.

And the hundreds of lives in Peach Blossom Land——

They separated, walked to the entrance of the village, and headed south.

When they got out of the mountain, the cold wind blew onto his face, and fine pieces of snow fell outside, and the Peach Blossom Land was hidden in the rolling mountains, with no trace ever to be found.

Lin Shu looked back at the faint green hills, and then thought of “Peach Blossom Land”.

And the county prefect, said so. The prefect sent people to go with him, looking for what he wanted, and then lost his way and no longer found the way.

He was so lost, and there was no way out.
