It is said that Peach Blossom Mountain, where the ten-mile peach forest is located, originally had only one peach tree in the deep forest. It cultivated heaven and earth and became close to immortals. However, its spiritual conduct was destroyed by the scholar's infatuation.
One spring, when the flowers were in bloom, there was a heavy snowstorm.
There was a scholar in Gulan City who loved flowers so much that he often painted hundreds of flowers on his fans and on his clothes. He also carved hundreds of flowers on wood and bamboo in his residence, and was surrounded by flowers every day.
He went out for an outing in the city on a spring day, admiring the spring flowers and copying the essence of the flowers. He accidentally discovered a beautiful peach in the deep forest on Peach Blossom Mountain, so he sat down and copied it.
But I don't want the warm sun to disappear suddenly, and the heavy snow to fall from the sky, causing the flowers to freeze and the grass and trees to be silent.
The blizzard is closing the eyes and the wind is blowing across the sky. The scholar has no way to find his way. He can only rely on the peach tree to stabilize himself and wait for the blizzard to pass.
This wait is like waiting for the scholar who woke up from under the ice and snow in the middle of the night, under the dim moonlight, and suddenly saw a woman dancing under the moonlight.
Her figure is graceful and graceful, dancing with the wind; her eyes are watery and warm, moving with her heart.
When the two looked at each other, the scholars couldn't help themselves.
The scholar thought he was hallucinating, so he quickly stood up and rubbed his eyes to look around. Unexpectedly, when the woman saw him like this, she shyly ducked away, like a frightened deer, and hid in panic behind the peach tree, hiding her face in shyness, not daring to look directly.
It is not easy for plants and trees to become immortals, and they must not disturb the common people before they transform into human form. Because a woman was naughty and disturbed ordinary people, she had no choice but to hide her body and devote herself to cultivating the Tao to protect herself.
After she dodged, the phantom looked at each other and gradually disappeared.
This thin peach was thin and could not hide anyone. The scholar was so curious that he quickly took out the book box and held a candle to look around.
There was silence behind the tree, so he approached.
When he couldn't find it, he felt as if he had lost it. Looking at the vastness of the world, he suddenly realized that among all the flowers in the world, peach blossoms were the only ones good.
After losing the flowers he copied, he built a house here and lived with the peach trees, year after year, looking forward to seeing the woman on the snowy night again.
With peach blossoms in his eyes and peach blossoms in his heart, he never saw that woman again from youth to old age.
Before his death, he burned all the peach blossom tree paintings he had accumulated over the years in front of the tree, and passed away in deep nostalgia.
It was a night when the snowstorm came again, and the woman danced lightly.
Feeling guilty for her man's infatuated waiting for her all her life, she dispersed all her Taoism and Yuanling and turned them into hundreds of peach trees all over Peach Mountain.
In this way, he will be able to see peach blossoms in his eyes after death.
Then she sincerely prays to God, hoping that sincere men and women who love each other will become perfect couples and stay together for a lifetime.
The last bit of mana recorded the bond between the scholar and himself, and carved it on a stone tablet for future generations to know.
From then on, this mountain forest was called Peach Mountain, and this section of water was called Peach Blossom River; between them, ten miles of peach trees bloomed all year round, housing men and women with complex feelings.
Without the love between men and women, Nanyun also felt sad after hearing this, and secretly felt that it was a pity.
The woman was obviously a Peach Blossom Demon who was successful in cultivating Taoism. She was only one step away from achieving immortality, but she accidentally violated the precepts and missed her cultivation. And the scholar missed her at a glance, and not only died in depression, but also made the Peach Blossom Demon become a Taoist.
And absolutely.
He didn't know whether the scholar's infatuation was right or wrong, nor did he understand why the peach blossom demon was willing to give up his own path.
However, there is nothing wrong with true feelings in this world.
After hearing the story, he was about to leave when he suddenly saw a stunningly beautiful woman standing on top of the boat building above the river, looking melancholy and affectionately at the peach grove on the bank.
After the painting boat, several hired boats followed. Thinking about it, either this painting boat has a great background, or there is a big shot on the painting boat tonight.
The woman's eyes were gentle, as if she was looking for her sweetheart. The men with partners turned their gazes away one after another, while the woman seemed to feel the same and became silent.
Most of the people who came here just to have fun sighed and watched the painted boats passing by quietly.
The woman was about to catch sight of him. Nanyun looked around and saw no one around him, so he lightly raised the broken sword, nodded to the woman from a distance, and turned slightly sideways.
In the boathouse under her feet, there was the sound of silk and bamboo, and there was an endless stream of flattering words.
But she was alone in the building and looked very lonely.
Nanyun knew very well where Huafang was. The woman's eyes were so melancholy and affectionate, which surprised him slightly. She walked down the stairs, apparently about to get off the boat.
"Oh, Miss Taohong comes here every year, it's really heartbreaking."
"I heard that Miss Taohong is ill and can't move around easily. I'll go out on the ship today to wait and see. Alas, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until next year."
"What a pity, what a pity."
"After the Blood Moon, there will be ten years of peace, and she won't be able to finish it."
Some people nearby felt sorry for her. It sounded like this girl named Taohong had a good reputation in the hearts of the people in Gulan City.
At this time, the sky turned red and a blood-colored moon had appeared.
Everything near Gulan City made Nanyun feel wary, so he was not as obsessed with the poignant legend of the peach grove as these people were; nor did he feel that the ten-mile peach grove could arouse his emotions.
This peach grove is just outside the city. You can see it every year and every day. Don’t you get tired of it?
Picking up his sword and about to leave, he subconsciously looked back at the blood moon in the distance, only to see the woman named Taohong walking down the long ladder to Taoshan.
People nearby let out low exclamations, and they did not expect that Taohong would settle in Taoshan.
To Nan Yun's surprise, people consciously walked farther away to leave a clean place for Tao Hong.
A burst of fragrance came, and Nanyun's mind was affected.
He hadn't received any mental instructions from his master and brother, so he could only shake his head to dispel the thoughts that were aroused in his heart.
Looking again, he felt that this pink girl was very pure, with a hint of frailty between her brows, which made people want to pity her, but were afraid of offending the beauty.
The huge painted boat stopped on the river, and Nanyun, who didn't know why, also moved out of the way.
But she just came to find him.
"Foreigner, can you tell me about the outside world?" Taohong was already a few feet away from her, making her request and walking towards her.
Girl, everything in Gulan City is fair trade.
Somehow, this sentence came to Nanyun's mind.
"Tell me about the outside world, and I'll reward you with this jug of wine."
With a touch of pink from her waist, a bottle of wine appeared in her hand. Even from a few steps away, Nanyun could smell the mellow aroma of the wine.
"This? Osmanthus stuffed rice?"
"You are new here, how do you know about sweet-scented osmanthus brewing?" Taohong's voice was gentle. Nanyun held on tightly, his mind spinning rapidly.
Does she know that I have just arrived in Gulan City? Doesn’t he know that the Wangchuan Water Store in the suburbs also sells sweet-scented osmanthus brew?
That shouldn’t be the case. Would such a sharp-sighted person know that there is also sweet-scented osmanthus brewed there?
Blaming himself for being reckless, Nanyun smiled.
"There is a kind of wine in my hometown, also called Osmanthus Niang, but the taste is lighter."
The so-called fair transaction means that the other party asks him questions as soon as he comes, and there is no reward. If he lies or does not lie, no one owes him anything.
"I see, hello, my name is Taohong."
Well?
The person in front of me didn't seem to be as reserved as ordinary women, but rather more generous. Nayun was really overwhelmed and said, "Nagyun, a young man, has seen Miss Taohong."
"Gee, you are finally willing to tell the truth. Why, am I that terrible?" As she spoke, Taohong's mood completely changed.
This girl's style is ever-changing, just like a ripe peach.
Nan Yun widened his eyes, not feeling embarrassed at all, and said with clear eyes: "The girl is naturally talented, but Nan Yun is young and passionate, and cannot bear the girl's enthusiasm. I'm sorry, I'm rude."
After saying this, he turned his head and looked away, not looking at Tao Hong.
Just the movement of this person made him feel like the fire was raging in his heart, which made him feel terrible.
What's even more frightening is that Taohong is indeed a woman who has met countless people. Just by looking at Nanyun's eyes, she can tell whether what he said is true or false.
This place was weird, so Nanyun just wanted to protect himself as much as possible. He silently recited "Miao'an Ten Thousand Dharma" in his heart and gradually calmed down.
